European elections represent a crucial moment: they give EU citizens a say in the political direction of the European Union. After declining ever since the first European direct elections in 1979, electoral turn out increased in the 2019 elections to reach 50.6 % largely due to youth participation (according to a post-election Eurobarometer survey). Echoing the 2019 motto 'This time I'm voting', the 2024 one might be: 'I did it again!' The 2024 European elections could be a turning point for youth engagement for several reasons

When the Treaty of Rome established the common market in 1958, State intervention was a major feature of agriculture in the six founding Member States. The foundations of the common agricultural policy (CAP) have remained unchanged since then, with the exception of rules relating to the decision-making procedure.

The Lisbon Treaty recognised codecision as the ‘ordinary legislative procedure’ for the CAP, in place of the consultation procedure. 
If the principle of the free movement of goods was to apply to agricultural produce, ongoing State intervention notwithstanding, national intervention mechanisms which were incompatible with the common market had to be transferred to Community level: this is the basic rationale behind the establishment of the CAP.

The Presidential Debate - EU Elections 2019 takes place on 15 May at 21.00 CET. It is an opportunity to discover where the lead candidates stand on a range of issues.

Political parties put forward candidates for the post of president of the European Commission ahead of the European elections. The lead candidate nominated by the Council, and able to command a majority in Parliament, will be elected President of the European Commission by a vote of Parliament.

The lead candidates are sometimes referred to by the German term spitzenkandidaten. This system was first used in 2014 to select current Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Presidency of the European Commission/Eurovision Debate - EU elections 2019

The European elections of 22-25 May 2014 gave voters the chance to influence the future political course of the European Union when they elected the 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to represent their interests for the next five years.

One major new development introduced by the Treaty was that, when the EU Member States have nominated the next president of the European Commission in autumn 2014, they had for the first time - have to take account of the European election results. The new Parliament endorses this candidate: it 'elects' the Commission president, in the words of the Treaty. This means voters now have a clear say in who takes over at the helm of EU government.

The Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, named in honour of the Soviet physicist and political dissident Andrei Sakharov, is awarded each year by the European Parliament. It was set up in 1988 to honour individuals and organisations defending human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Each nominee must have the support of at least 40 MEPs, and each individual Member may support only one nominee. Signed nominations accompanied by supporting evidence are then assessed in a joint meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET), the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) and the Committee on Development (DEVE). A shortlist of three candidates is drawn up through a vote by AFET and DEVE committees, and then submitted to the Conference of Presidents for a final vote. The winner is announced in October, and the award ceremony takes place in December at the plenary sitting in Strasbourg.

The nominations for the 2020 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought are:

The democratic opposition in Belarus, represented by the Coordination Council, initiative of brave women and political and civil society figures, nominated by EPP, S&amp;D, Renew Europe 
Mgr Najeeb Moussa Michaeel, Archbishop of Mosul, Iraq nominated by ID 
Guapinol activists and Berta Caceres in Honduras, nominated by Greens/EFA, GUE/NGL 
The democratic opposition in Belarus, represented by Sviatlana Tsikhanouska, nominated by ECR

The&nbsp;finalists for the European Parliament’s 2022 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought were WikiLeaks activist Julian Assange, the Ukrainian people and their representatives and the Colombian Truth Commission for the 2022 Sakharov Prize.

The winner is always announced in October, and the award ceremony takes place in December during plenary in Strasbourg. In 2021, the prize went to&nbsp;the Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny.

Sakharov Prize 2022

On 23/5/2024 the Eurovision debate between the lead candidates for the presidency of the European Commission took place in the European Parliament.

Walter Baier (Austria, European Left), Sandro Gozi (Italy, Renew Europe Now), Ursula von der Leyen (Germany, European People’s Party), Terry Reintke (Germany, European Greens) and Nicolas Schmit (Luxembourg, Party of European Socialists) participated in the debate, organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in collaboration with the European political parties and the European Parliament.

The debate focussed on Economy and Jobs, Defence and Security, Climate and Environment, Democracy and Leadership, Migration and Borders and on Innovation and Technology.

Questions were asked by the audience in the plenary chamber, by viewers watching from events organised by Parliament’s Liaison Offices in EU member states, submitted via social media, and by the two moderators. Candidates also faced one-on-one questioning by the moderators in so-called “Spotlight” segments.

In December 2023 , MEPs and national governments reached a long-sought agreement to revamp the EU’s asylum and migration legislation. Parliament and Council negotiators agreed on the final form of five separate EU regulations, establishing how to share the management of asylum and migration flows among member states and what to do in cases of sudden migratory crisis.

The rules also regulate how to deal with people arriving at the EU’s external borders, the processing of asylum claims, and the identification of those arriving. Following the deal, EP President Roberta Metsola said: “”Today is a truly historic day, as we have delivered on the Migration and Asylum Pact, possibly the most important legislative package of this mandate. Europe will now get a robust legislative framework that is the same in all Member States.

That functions and that protects, an approach that is humane and fair with those seeking protection, that is firm with those who are not eligible, and that is strong with those who exploit the most vulnerable

Refugee movements and migration are at the centre of global attention. &nbsp;The European Parliament is actively involved, in the adoption of new laws on irregular and regular immigration. It is a full co-legislator together with the Council representing member states on these matters since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009.

The EU strategy related to food security aims to build resilience to food crises in the production chain. The EU is working towards increasing the resilience of individuals, communities and countries to cope with, adapt and recover quickly from the impact of a disaster, violence or conflict.

The EP has recently called for an urgent EU action plan to ensure food security in and outside the EU following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.&nbsp;MEPs asked for immediate help in the form of food supplies for Ukraine, and for a reboot of the EU’s food production strategy. Given the severe impact the Russian attack on Ukraine will have on food security for Ukrainians, Parliament called&nbsp;for robust long-term humanitarian food aid for Ukraine from both the EU and at the international level. MEPs say the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have made it apparent that the EU needs to reduce its dependence on imports from too few suppliers. They call for a diversification of supply from third countries, and demand in the short term that the Commission assess how to cushion the impact of high fertiliser prices on farmers. To reduce the dependence on fertiliser imports in the long term, Parliament proposes a switch to alternative organic sources of nutrients for agriculture and support for agricultural innovation.

Food security

On May 1, 2004, ten&nbsp;new member states joined the European Union, marking the&nbsp;largest enlargement in terms of people and number of countries in the EU's history. Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia joined the Union, growing from 15 to 25 members.

The European Parliament celebrates the 20th anniversary of these ten nations joining the European Union&nbsp;and engaging in the EP's democratic process to defend the interests of European citizens.

20th anniversary of the 2004 enlargement of the European Union

The rapid development of social media and the rise of geopolitical tensions turn the EU into a target for foreign interference and disinformation. 

In 2024, the EU and many other democracies around the world will elect their next leaders. Malicious entities or states try to take advantage of this to undermine trust in elections or democracy.

The European Parliament has adopted a number of legislative acts to protect EU citizens and societies from disinformation and foreign interference. It has also been working to strengthen cooperation between&nbsp;elections authorities,&nbsp;public disinformation specialists,&nbsp;European fact-checkers&nbsp;and independent disinformation specialists, and has developed closer ties with&nbsp;Nato, in order to step up the efforts on fighting disinformation. 
 
This series of videos is part of an effort to raise awareness among EU citizens about disinformation ahead of the European elections, in June. Parliament’s communication team explains the most commonly used tactics and give tips to spot and avoid them.

Idir 2017 agus 2018, tuairiscíodh níos mó ná 14,000 íospartach gáinneála ar dhaoine san AE. Is dóigh go bhfuil líon iarbhír na n-íospartach a bhaineann le dúshaothrú gnéasach nó saothair i bhfad níos airde. Ba iad saoránaigh an AE beagnach leath na n-íospartach ar fad a cláraíodh san AE. Tá feisirí de Pharlaimint na hEorpa ag éileamh níos mó comhair thrasnáisiúnta agus nuashonrú ar threoir fhrithgháinneála 2011.

Tá gáinneáil ar dhaoine fós beo beathach san AE

Phléigh Feisirí na Parlaiminte cur i bhfeidhm na vacsaíne Covid-19 san AE le huachtarán an Choimisiúin agus cheadaigh clár tacaíochta eacnamaíochta chun cabhrú le tíortha AE téarnamh ón ngéarchéim agus dul chun cinn a dhéanamh maidir le spriocanna aeráide. Phléigh na feisirí an suaitheadh polaitiúil sa Rúis agus pianbhreith Alexei Navalny le déanaí. Vótáil an Pharlaimint ar thuilleadh beart faoisimh don earnáil eitlíochta agus thacaigh leis an togra maidir le pá íosta leordhóthanach.

Príomhphointí an tseisiúin iomlánaigh: Straitéis vacsaíne an AE, téarnamh eacnamaíoch agus caidreamh leis an Rúis

Vótálfaidh an Pharlaimint ar an tSaoráid Téarnaimh agus Athléimneachta, príomhchuid de phacáiste téarnaimh Covid-19 EUR 750 billiún. Pléifidh Feisirí freisin easnaimh i vacsaíní, iarrfaidh siad spriocanna maidir le hathchúrsáil, rialáil níos fearr ar na meáin shóisialta agus go ndéanfar tuilleadh chun an gháinneáil ar dhaoine a chomhrac. É sin go léir agus tuilleadh, ag teacht aníos sa seisiún iomlánach.

Ag teacht aníos sa seisiún iomlánach: téarnamh Covid-19, vacsaíní agus athchúrsáil

D'éiligh Feisirí tuilleadh oscailteachta maidir le leathadh amach vacsaíní Covid-19. Mhol siad dlí lena bhforfheidhmeofaí an ceart chun dícheangal d’oibrithe Eorpacha agus ba mhaith leo go measfaí gur ceart bunúsach é rochtain ar thithíocht leordhóthanach. Maidir le beartas eachtrach, d’fháiltigh na Feisirí roimh thús ré nua i gcaidreamh AE-SAM le hinsealbhú Joe Biden agus d’áitigh smachtbhannaí a leathnú ar oifigigh na Rúise a raibh baint acu le príosúnacht Alexei Navalny.

Príomhphointí an tseisiúin iomlánaigh: Vacsaíní, caidreamh AE-SAM agus an ceart chun dícheangal

De réir mar a théann an Eoraip i mbun a feachtais ollvacsaínithe is mó riamh, leagann an Pharlaimint béim ar an ngá atá le dlúthpháirtíocht agus aontacht. Tá Feisirí ag éileamh ar an gCoimisiún Eorpach neamhchinnteacht a dhíbirt le faisnéis níos oscailte ar vacsaíní Covid-19.

Éilíonn Feisirí níos mó trédhearcachta maidir le vacsaíní Covid-19

Pléifidh Feisirí tosaíochtaí na Portaingéile agus í ag cur tús lena huachtaránacht ar Chomhairle an AE, rialacha nua maidir leis an gceart chun dícheangal ón obair agus leathadh amach vacsaíní Covid-19. Ina theannta sin, agus insealbhú Joe Biden ag teacht aníos mar uachtarán SAM, pléifidh an Pharlaimint conas caidreamh trasatlantach a neartú. É sin go léir agus tuilleadh, ag teacht aníos sa seisiún iomlánach.

Ag teacht aníos sa seisiún iomlánach: Vacsaíní Covid-19, an ceart chun dícheangal agus comhionannas inscne

Le riarachán nua in Washington agus cruinniú mullaigh AE-SAM sceidealta níos déanaí i mbliana, deir Parlaimint na hEorpa go bhfuil sé in am an chomhpháirtíocht thrasatlantach a athnuachan – idir dhul i ngleic le Covid-19 agus téarnamh, geilleagar inbhuanaithe, aeráidneodrach a thógáil, agus an daonlathas a neartú ar fud an domhain.

Caidreamh AE-SAM – tús nua

Tá Parlaimint na hEorpa ag iarraidh go mbeadh 'an ceart chun fágáil' ina cheart dlíthiúil san AE. Deir Feisirí nár cheart go mbraithfeadh oibrithe, nuair nach mbíonn siad ar dualgas, an brú cumarsáid a bhaineann le hobair a fhreagairt. Méadaíodh an gá atá leis an mbille seo mar gheall ar an bpaindéim agus ar an ardú ar theilea-obair.

An ceart chun dícheangal ón obair

Is í 2021 Bliain Eorpach an Iarnróid, ach cad a chiallaíonn sí sin? Chun aeráidneodracht a bhaint amach faoi 2050, ní mór don AE a astaíochtaí CO2 iompair a laghdú go suntasach. Ceann de chuspóirí na bliana seo is ea infheistíocht a dhéanamh in iarnróid agus traenacha a chur chun cinn mar mhodh iompair inbhuanaithe, sábháilte agus nua-aimseartha.

2021: Bliain Eorpach an Iarnróid

D’fhéach an Pharlaimint ar dháileadh vacsaín Covid-19 agus vótáil sí ar phacáiste airgeadais a chuimsíonn an buiséad fadtéarmach agus ciste téarnaimh chun tacú le geilleagair an AE ón bhliain seo chugainn ar aghaidh. Phléigh Feisirí an chomhpháirtíocht a bheidh sa todhchaí idir an RA agus an tAontas, agus ghlac siad rialacha nua freisin maidir le rochtain ar uisce óil sábháilte san AE.

Tar éis bliana ina raibh an phaindéim COVID-19 go mór in uachtar, tosóidh an Pharlaimint ag obair ar an téarnamh.
