Az EU fontos küldetésének tartja a tanulási lehetőségek folyamatos bővítését és az oktatás színvonalának javítását. E törekvés hívta életre az európai oktatási térséget is, hogy kölcsönösen átjárhatóak legyenek a tagállami oktatási és képzési rendszerek, és érdemben lehessen foglalkozni az oktatásban felmerülő kihívásokkal. A térség kiépítésétől legfőképpen azt várja az EU, hogy szorosabb lesz az együttműködés és nagyobb fokú a mobilitás, és ezzel együtt befogadóbbak lesznek az oktatási rendszerek. Ennek az egyik legfontosabb hozadéka pedig az lehet, hogy elhárulnak a más tagországokban való oktatást és tanulást nehezítő akadályok.

Oktatás és tanulás mesterfokon: a külföldi tapasztalatszerzést segítő uniós kezdeményezések

EU leaders met in Brussels on 20-21 October 2022 to discuss Ukraine, energy, economic issues and external relations.

On 20 October, European leaders reached an agreement to incresase efforts,&nbsp;in light of the ongoing crisis,&nbsp;to reduce demand, to ensure security of supply, to avoid rationing, and to lower energy prices for households and businesses across the Union and preserve&nbsp;the&nbsp;integrity of the Single Market.

The European Council condemned&nbsp;in the strongest possible terms the&nbsp;indiscriminate Russian missile and drone attacks targeting civilians and civilian objects and infrastructure in Kyiv and across Ukraine. It likewise condemned&nbsp;Russia’s actions at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and underlined&nbsp;the European Union’s support to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s efforts to maintain the safety, security and safeguards of the facility.

On 9 November, during a plenary debate&nbsp; on the outcome of the October summit, MEPs urge to speed up the reform on the&nbsp;electricity market&nbsp;to decouple electricity prices from those of gas.&nbsp;They also called for further measures to protect citizens and businesses who are struggling to pay rising energy bills, as well as a windfall tax on the profits of energy companies.

European Council, 20-21 October 2022

Since 2008, the European Parliament awards the European Citizen’s Prize every year to projects and initiatives that facilitate cross-border cooperation or promote mutual understanding within the EU. The prize, which has symbolic value, is also intended to acknowledge the work of those who through their day-to-day activities promote European values.

European Citizen's Prize 2022

Over the course of a two-day summit, EU leaders discussed&nbsp;the unfolding situation in the&nbsp;Middle East, continued support for&nbsp;Ukraine&nbsp;in the face of Russia’s war of aggression, the EU’s&nbsp;long-term budget, the&nbsp;economy,&nbsp;migration&nbsp;and&nbsp;external relations.&nbsp;

In light of Hamas’ brutal and indiscriminate terrorist attack against Israel and the unfolding tragic scenes in the Gaza Strip resulting from the siege, EU leaders will continue to discuss the latest developments in the region, including effective and urgent&nbsp;delivery of humanitarian aid&nbsp;to those most in need and how to&nbsp;engage with partners&nbsp;to avoid a dangerous regional escalation of the conflict.&nbsp;

The European Council addressed also&nbsp;the latest developments in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and continued EU support for Ukraine, including financial, military and humanitarian support. The&nbsp;EU stands firmly with Ukraine and its people, and will continue to strongly support Ukraine for as long as it takes. So far, the EU and its member states have provided&nbsp;over €82 billion&nbsp;to Ukraine.

European Council, 26-27 october 2023

Every year, the EU's 600 000 beekeepers and their 16 million beehives produce 200 000 tonnes of honey. 

This is not however sufficient to cover demand on the EU market, and the shortfall is made up by imports, above all from China. Threats to bee health and market competition make the economic viability of apiculture a critical matter. EU policies aim therefore to address these issues and promote beekeeping, an activity that is of vital importance to the environment.

EU apiculture sector - 8th parliamentary term

From July to December 2019, Finland holds the Presidency of the EU Council for the third time, following the Romanian and preceding the Croatian Presidency.

The Presidency of the Council rotates among the EU Member States every 6 months. During the 6-month period, the presidency chairs meeting at every level in the Council, helping to ensure the continuity of the EU's work in the Council.

Standardisation is a key part of the EU's single market infrastructure. Ensuring that the development of standards proceeds smoothly, getting standards to markets faster and stepping up their use in areas such as information and communication technology (ICT) and services are essential to drive renewed growth in Europe.

Standardisation (2019-2020)

Following Parliament’s approval during October I plenary, EU consumers will soon be able to use a single charging solution for their electronic devices.

&nbsp;By the end of 2024, all mobile phones, tablets and cameras sold in the EU will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port. From spring 2026, the obligation will extend to laptops. The new law, adopted by plenary on Tuesday with 602 votes in favour, 13 against and 8 abstentions, is part of a broader EU effort to reduce e-waste and to empower consumers to make more sustainable choices.

Under the new rules, consumers will no longer need a different charger every time they purchase a new device, as they will be able to use one single charger for a whole range of small and medium-sized portable electronic devices.

Regardless of their manufacturer, all new mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones and headsets, handheld videogame consoles and portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems, earbuds and laptops that are rechargeable via a wired cable, operating with a power delivery of up to 100 Watts, will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C port.

Council will have to formally approve the Directive before it is published in the EU Official Journal. It will enter into force 20 days after publication. Member states will then have 12 months to transpose the rules and 12 months after the transposition period ends to apply them. The new rules would not apply to products placed on the market before the date of application.

The REPowerEU Plan is the EU's response to the global energy market disruption caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There is a double urgency to transform Europe's energy system: ending the EU's dependence on Russian fossil fuels and tackling the climate crisis.

The measures in the REPowerEU Plan&nbsp;respond to this ambition, through energy savings, diversification of energy supplies, and accelerated roll-out of renewable energy to replace fossil fuels in homes, industry and power generation.

MEPs reached a deal with Council on the inclusion of REPowerEU measures in national recovery plans to support independence from Russian fossil fuels and the green transition on 14 Decembre 2022.&nbsp;

The deal provides that EU countries applying to receive additional funds through an amended recovery and resilience plan will be required, after the entry into force of this proposal, to include measures to save energy, produce clean energy and diversify energy supplies, as foreseen in the EU’s REPowerEU plan.

Negotiators agreed that the new rules will cover measures retroactively from 1 February 2022, with some limited exceptions. MEPs made sure that these measures are designed to support investments to tackle energy poverty for vulnerable households, SMEs and micro-enterprises.

REPowerEU

Every year in September, the President of the European Commission delivers the State of the European Union (SOTEU) address before the European Parliament, taking stock of the past year and presenting priorities for the year ahead.&nbsp;

Ursula von der Leyen outlined&nbsp;the impact of the Commission’s work&nbsp;and its upcoming plans, particularly regarding EU solidarity with Ukraine, sanctions on Russia, the measures to ensure the EU’s energy supply and curb its dependence on Russian fossil fuels, and the current energy price spikes.&nbsp;

MEPs assess in their responses the Commission’s work and its plans for the year ahead, alongside presenting their own views and proposals. The annual State of the Union debate allows MEPs to scrutinise the European Commission’s results and priorities and contribute to setting the EU’s policy direction.

The State of the European Union debate is a key moment that demonstrates the European Commission’s accountability towards the EU’s democratically elected representatives and fosters a more transparent and democratic Union.

State of the European Union 2022

On 20 April, European Chief Prosecutor Laura Kövesi will present the results of the first seven months of the EPPO’s operations to the Budget Control and Civil Liberties committees.

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) is the new independent public prosecution office of the European Union. It is responsible for investigating, prosecuting and bringing to judgment crimes against the financial interests of the EU.

These include several types of fraud, VAT fraud with damages above 10 million euro, money laundering, corruption, etc. The EPPO undertakes investigations, carries out acts of prosecution and exercises the function of prosecutor in the competent courts of the participating Member States, until the case has been settled.

Before only national authorities could investigated and prosecuted these crimes, but their powers stopped at the borders of their country. Organisations like Eurojust, OLAF and Europol do not have the necessary powers to carry out such criminal investigations and prosecutions.

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office is composed of two levels: the central level and the decentralised (national) level. The central level, with its headquarters in Luxembourg, consists of: the European Chief Prosecutor; 22 European Prosecutors (one per participating EU country), two of whom function as Deputies for the European Chief Prosecutor; and the Administrative Director. The decentralised level consists of the European Delegated Prosecutors (EDPs) in the 22 participating EU Member States.

The central level supervises the investigations and prosecutions carried out by the EDPs at the national level, which operate with complete independence from their national authorities. The EPPO officially started its operational activities on 1 June 2021

European Public Prosecutor's Office - EPPO

From January to June 2022, France holds the Presidency of the EU Council, following the Slovenian&nbsp;Presidency and preceding the Czech Presidency.&nbsp; During January plenary session MEPs discussed&nbsp;with French President Emmanuel Macron the political strategy and aims of France’s six-month helm of the EU. France’s ministers are present their priorities in a series of meetings with parliamentary committees in January.

The motto of the&nbsp;French Presidency&nbsp;is “Recovery, Strength and a Sense of Belonging”, to underline that, in order to fight the health crisis, the rise of aggressive foreign powers and climate disruption, the best response is a European response. In terms of EU legislation, France plans to give priority to negotiations on the new Digital Services and Markets Acts, the establishment of an adjustment system for carbon pricing at the EU’s borders, and on common minimum wages rules. The&nbsp;Conference on the Future of Europe&nbsp;is expected to deliver its proposals in the course of the French Presidency semester in the first half of 2022. The Presidency of the Council rotates among the EU member states every 6 months. During this 6-month period, the Presidency chairs meetings at every level in the Council, helping to ensure the continuity of the EU's work.&nbsp;

President Roberta Metsola awarded the 2022 LUX European Audience Film Award to “Quo vadis, Aida?” by Bosnian director Jasmila Žbanić, during a ceremony on 8 of June in Strasbourg. "This film is a strong call for justice for the women and mothers of Srebrenica who witnessed the atrocious killing of over 8,000 loved ones. Such horrendous atrocities and such a crime against humanity must never be forgotten,” said President Metsola at the ceremony, which took place in the Strasbourg hemicycle.
The winner of the LUX Audience Award – jointly awarded by Parliament and the European Film Academy, in partnership with the European Commission and the Europa Cinemas network – is selected jointly by MEPs and a European audience (each accounting for 50% of the final decision).
The three nominated films were announced on 11 December 2021 at the European Film Awards. These were: “Flee” by Danish director Jonas Poher Rasmussen. “Great Freedom” by Austrian director Sebastian Meise, “Quo vadis Aida?” by Bosnian director Jasmila Žbanić.

Lux award 2022

LUX – The European Audience Film Award is presented every year by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy, in partnership with the European Commission and Europa Cinemas. A symbol of the European Parliament’s commitment to culture, the Lux award continues to build cultural bridges across Europe, by putting the spotlight on films that go to the heart of the European public debate.

The award aims to strengthen ties between politics and citizens, by inviting European audiences to become active protagonists and cast their vote for their favourite films.

Close” by Belgian director Lukas Dhont won the 2023 LUX European Audience Film Award on Tuesday, in a ceremony in the European Parliament’s hemicycle in Brussels. The film, co-produced by Belgium, France and Netherlands, tells the story of an intense friendship between two thirteen-year old boys Leo and Remi. When their friendship is suddenly disrupted, Leo approaches Sophie, Remi’s mother, struggling to understand what has happened. “Close” is a film about friendship and responsibility.

The other four films shortlisted for the award were:&nbsp;“Alcarràs”&nbsp;by Spanish director Carla Simón,&nbsp;“Burning Days”&nbsp;by Turkish director Emin Alper,&nbsp;“Will-o'-the-Wisp”&nbsp;by Portugese director João Pedro Rodrigues and&nbsp;“Triangle of Sadness”&nbsp;by Swedish director Ruben Östlund.

Lux award 2023

Following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the European Parliament now shares the power to decide on the entire annual budget of the EU with the Council of the European Union and it has the final say.

Every year the European Commission proposes a budget for the EU for the following year. The final figures then have to be agreed by both the Parliament and the Council, which represents the member states, before the budget can be adopted. As the Council tends to propose figures below what the Parliament is asking for, the two institutions enter into negotiations in order to find an agreement. This takes place after the Parliament adopts its position at the end of October and is referred to as the conciliation process.

EU Budget 2018

The Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women, also known as the Istanbul Convention, is the first legally binding international instrument on this issue. It establishes a comprehensive framework of measures for preventing such violence, supporting victims and punishing perpetrators.

The European Parliament first sounded the alarm about the problem of violence against women in a resolution of 11 June 1986. Since then, Parliament has played a particularly important role in the field, including through the work of its Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM). As of October 2020, it has been signed by all EU Member States, and ratified by 21.

Violence against women (2019-2020)
