As the European Commission prepares to launch a much awaited revised EU pharmaceutical strategy, two recent studies by the European Parliament's Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) advance possible options to tackle current weaknesses in drug development and ensure access to high-quality medicines, including the creation of large-scale European biomedical infrastructure, and a series of targeted strategies to improve EU health research coordination and reprioritise areas of unmet therapeutic need.

The proposed 'AI liability directive' introduces new rules specific to damages caused by AI systems. These rules are intended to ensure that consumers harmed by AI systems enjoy the same level of protection as consumers harmed by other technologies in the EU. The directive would also ease the burden of proof for victims to establish damage caused by an AI system and give national courts the power to order disclosure of evidence about high-risk AI systems suspected of having caused damage.

Déantar Lá Idirnáisiúnta na mBan a cheiliúradh gach bliain an 8 Márta chun a bhfuil bainte amach ag mná a aithint agus chun aird a tharraingt ar chearta na mban. Is deis í an ócáid chun feasacht a mhúscailt faoi cheisteanna amhail comhionannas inscne, cearta atáirgthe, agus an comhrac i gcoinne an fhoréigin agus mhí-úsáid na mban. Ba chroíluach agus croíchuspóir de chuid an Aontais Eorpaigh i gcónaí é comhionannas idir mná agus fir, ach níor baineadh amach an sprioc sin go hiomlán fós.
