The partnership between the EU and The Gambia is guided by the principles and objectives found in the Cotonou Agreement, which governs the relationship between the EU and African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. The Agreement covers areas such as political dialogue, trade and development cooperation.

Regular political talks between the EU and The Gambia for sharing information and fostering mutual understanding take place under this Agreement and also under the EU's Treaty of Lisbon. The talks aim to promote economic, cultural and social development in The Gambia with a view to promoting stable and democratic political development.

EU - The Gambia

The EU’s 2021-2027 long-term budget, together with NextGenerationEU, amounts to €1.8 trillion. This unprecedented response will help repair the economic and social damage caused by the coronavirus pandemic and aid the transition towards a modern, more sustainable Europe.

The package consists of the long-term budget (the 2021-2027 MFF multiannual financial framework) of €1.074 trillion, combined with the temporary recovery instrument NextGenerationEU of €750 billion.

It was adopted by the European Parliament on 16 December 2020.

MEPs negotiated major top-ups for EU flagship programmes like Health, Horizon (Research), Erasmus+ and supported also a roadmap introducing new sources of EU revenue. This roadmap is part of the ‘Interinstitutional Agreement’, a legally binding text. In addition to the contribution made as of 2021, based on how much unrecycled plastic a country has, the roadmap includes an ETS (Emissions Trading System)-based Own Resource (from 2023, possibly linked with a carbon border adjustment mechanism). It also includes a digital levy (from 2023) and a Financial Transaction Tax-based Own Resource, as well as a financial contribution that the corporate sector must make or a new common corporate tax base (from 2026).

Parliament also approved in its February 2024 session, the revision of the EU’s long-term budget.

This includes the €50 billion Ukraine Facility and the “Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform” (STEP), which aims to make the EU more strategically independent and to foster innovation. It also enables the EU budget to respond more effectively to evolving needs and unforeseen circumstances. In particular, it bolsters the EU’s budget to deal with migration and external challenges as well as the EU's crisis preparedness and budgetary flexibility. In line with Parliament’s demands, the revision introduces a mechanism to tackle escalating costs linked to the repayment of the NextGenerationEU recovery plan amid rising interest rates.

EU Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027

Belgium holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union from 1 January to 30 June 2024.&nbsp;

The Kingdom of Belgium has announced that it will be working&nbsp;to strengthen the European Union and make progress in several areas, such as climate change, economic growth and social cohesion;&nbsp;whilst acting as a neutral mediator to lead the legislative work and seek compromises among the EU Member States.

Plastics are everywhere in our daily life: they are used in packaging, buildings, cars, electronics, agriculture and other sectors. On 3 July 2021, the EU ban on disposable plastics comes into effect. This will concern straws, cups, cutlery, plates, but also balloon rods.

Single-use plastic products are used once, or for a short period of time, before being thrown away. The impacts of this plastic waste on the environment and our health are global and can be drastic. Single-use plastic products are more likely to end up in our seas than reusable options.

The 10 most commonly found single-use plastic items on European beaches, alongside fishing gear, represent 70% of all marine litter in the EU. According to the directive on single-use plastics where sustainable alternatives are easily available and affordable, single-use plastic products cannot be placed on the markets of EU Member States. This applies to cotton bud sticks, cutlery, plates, straws, stirrers, and sticks for balloons.

It will also apply to cups, food and beverage containers made of expanded polystyrene, and on all products made of oxo-degradable plastic. The EU aims to become a forerunner in the global fight against marine litter and plastic pollution. EU rules aim to reduce the volume and impact of certain plastic products on environment.

Plastics production is 20 times higher than in 1960s, and is forecast to almost quadruple by 2050. Although there are thousands of types of plastics, 90% of plastics are derived from virgin fossil fuels. About 6% of global oil consumption is used to produce plastics; by 2050, this share could reach 20%. In Europe, about 40% of post-consumer plastic waste is incinerated with energy recovery, and the rest is either landfilled or recycled. About half of the plastic waste collected and recycled is treated in the European Union; the other half is exported, mainly to China.

EU Strategy for Plastics and packaging

Minimum wages in all EU countries should allow for decent living and working standards, and member states should promote collective bargaining for pay.&nbsp; With 505 votes in favour, 92 against and 44 abstentions, Parliament adopted&nbsp;new legislation&nbsp;on adequate minimum wages in the EU during September plenary.

The EU law, agreed with the Council in June, aims to improve working and living conditions for all workers in the EU, as well as promoting economic and social progress. To this end, it establishes minimum requirements for the adequacy of statutory minimum&nbsp;wages as provided by national law and/or collective agreements, and enhances the effective access of workers to minimum wage protection.

The new directive will apply to all EU workers who have an employment contract or employment relationship. The EU countries in which the minimum wage is already protected exclusively via collective agreements will not be obliged to introduce these rules nor to make these agreements universally applicable.

EU wants to improve workers’ rights and working conditions across Europe, from working hours and parental leave to health and safety at work. The EU has put in place a set of labour rules to ensure strong social protection. They include minimum requirements on working conditions - such as working time, part-time work, workers’ rights - to information about important aspects of their employment and the posting of workers. They have become one of the cornerstones of Europe's social policies.&nbsp;

Working conditions

European food safety policy aims are twofold: to protect human health and consumers’ interests, and to foster the smooth operation of the European single market.

The EU thus ensures that control standards are established and adhered to in the areas of feed and food-product hygiene, animal health, plant health and the prevention of food contamination from external substances. The Union also regulates labelling for food and feed products.

In the wake of a series of human food and animal feed crises, EU food safety policy underwent substantial reform in the early 2000s. The ‘Farm to Fork’ approach was defined, guaranteeing a high level of safety at all stages of the production and distribution process for all food products marketed within the EU, whether produced within the EU or imported from third countries.

Food safety

Between 1991 and 2017, and especially after 2000, the EU witnessed substantial improvements in terms of road safety, whether measured in terms of fatalities, accidents or injuries.&nbsp; Over a shorter period, between 2001 and 2010, the number of deaths on EU roads decreased by 43 %, and by around another 20 % since 2010.The most recent figures, however, show that progress in reducing the fatality rate is stagnating.

Specific road users or demographic groups are not witnessing the same improvements as the rest of the population.&nbsp;Despite being the safest region in the world, and despite sustained efforts to tackle road safety,&nbsp;around 22 700 people die on EU roads annually, with around 120 000 seriously injured.&nbsp;

Road safety is a shared competence, implying that many measures are primarily dealt with by Member States. However, the EU, has&nbsp;significantly developed the acquis in this area, with the Commission adopting several policy frameworks on road safety.

In 2003, the EU set itself a target in terms of reducing road fatalities, and regularly monitors progress towards this goal. In June 2017, the Council endorsed the Valletta Declaration, which reasserted commitments and targets in the area of road safety. In May 2018, within the context of the third and last 'mobility package', the Commission presented a common framework for road safety for the 2021-2030 period, recalling the EU’s long-term goal of moving as close as possible to zero fatalities in road transport by 2050 ('Vision Zero').

The European Parliament has adopted numerous resolutions regarding or covering road safety, calling notably for more detailed and measurable targets, more account taken of vulnerable users as well as of the safety challenges emerging from the development of connected and automated mobility.

Road safety

A formal sitting is&nbsp;held to mark an official visit to the European Parliament, made at the President’s invitation after consulting with the Conference of Presidents.

The official guest is seated to the right of the President on the podium. After the welcoming remarks by the President, the official guest addresses the&nbsp; Parliament from the central rostrum in the Chamber.

The address for a formal sitting of Parliament&nbsp;usually lasts 30 minutes and generally takes place before the voting session.

Formal Sittings

Glyphosate-based pesticides (i.e. formulations containing glyphosate and other chemicals) are used in agriculture and horticulture, primarily to combat weeds that compete with cultivated crops.

Glyphosate is an active substance used for the production of pesticides, which has been authorised in the EU since 2002. It is the most frequently used herbicide worldwide and in the EU, and one of several hundred active substances that have been assessed by Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in recent years.

Use of glyphosate

The European Parliament has adopted the mandate of a special committee to look into the EU’s authorisation procedure for pesticides.

The special committee is a response to concerns raised about the risk posed by the herbicide substance glyphosate. The herbicide had its marketing licence renewed by EU member states for five years in November 2017.

Use of pesticides

The 1979 European elections were parliamentary elections held across all 9 (at the time) European Community member states.

They were the first European elections to be held, allowing citizens to elect 410 MEPs to the European Parliament, and also the first international election in history. Seats in the Parliament had been allocated to the states according to population, and in some cases were divided into constituencies, but members sat according to political groups.

The Roma are Europe's largest ethnic minority. Out of an estimated total of 10-12 million in Europe, some 6 million live in the EU, and most of them are citizens of an EU country. &nbsp;The estimated share of the Roma in EU countries in 2012 ranges from 10.3% in Bulgaria, 9.1% in Slovakia, 8.3% in Romania, 7% in Hungary, 2.5% in Greece, 2% in Czechia and 1.6% in Spain, to less than 1% in most of the other countries.

Excessive force, police brutality and misconduct against Romani people continue to be reported across the EU, in line with the&nbsp;2020 findings&nbsp;of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA).

The FRA report also revealed that Romani people are subject to widespread poverty, inadequate living conditions, poor health, exclusion from the labour market and harassment.&nbsp;

Romani people in the EU

Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the disruption of Russian gas supplies has led to skyrocketing electricity prices and market volatility, leading the Commission and member states to consider new policy options such as capping prices or decoupling of gas and electricity prices. In recent months, Parliament and Council have adopted an&nbsp;emergency plan for filling gas reserves.

The Commission has also launched the&nbsp;RepowerEU&nbsp;plan to reduce the&nbsp;dependency from Russia, diversify gas supplies, speed up the roll-out of renewable gases and replace gas in heating and power generation as well as&nbsp;EU-wide gas consumption reduction measures.

This can&nbsp;reduce EU demand for Russian gas by two thirds before the end of the year. The EC came with proposals how to deal with the problem during the SOTEU speech of Ursula von der Leyen.

European Union countries agreed on 30th September on series of meeasures, including energy levies on windfall profits of energy companies or binding targets to reduce electricity consumption.

The European Parliament payed tribute to&nbsp;Jacques Delors, a former EU Commission President&nbsp;who played an instrumental role in European integration. Delors served as President of the European Commission from 1985 to 1995, and was according to&nbsp;most historians of European integration and political scientists, one of the most successful holders of that post to date. His agenda and accomplishments include the EU single market, the Single European Act, Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the rapid integration of the former German Democratic Republic into the European Community.

His combination of coherent agenda-setting and strong negotiating skills, acquired through long experience of trade union bargaining and years of ministerial responsibilities in turbulent times, make him a remarkable figure in European history. He also showed himself able to react swiftly to external events, notably the collapse of the Soviet bloc, whilst building Europe’s credibility on the international stage.

Il-President tal-Kummissjoni Ewropea Ursula von der Leyen tat l-ewwel indirizz tagħha dwar il-Qagħda tal-Istat tal-Unjoni Ewropea u ħarset lejn x'inkiseb u l-prijoritajiet għall-futur. Il-Parlament iddiskuta wkoll il-pjan ta' rkupru ekonomiku u l-koordinazzjoni tar-rispons tal-UE għall-kriżi tal-Covid-19. Il-membri ddiskutew il-kriżi umanitarja f'Lesbos u s-sitwazzjoni politika fil-Belarus.

Punti ewlenin tas-sessjoni plenarja: Il-Qagħda tal-UE, pjan ta' rkupru u politika barranija

Għalkemm xi fondi tal-UE waslu għand is-settur kreattiv permezz ta' regoli dwar l-għajnuna mill-istat aktar flessibbli u mill-Ewropa Kreattiva, ma hemmx fond ta' rkupru mill-UE ddedikat għall-kultura. Il-MPE qed jitolbu aktar appoġġ dirett għall-kultura u fondi addizzjonali għall-arti fil-baġit għal terminu twil.

Il-Parlament jappella għal appoġġ urġenti għas-settur kreattiv

Jekk l-UE trid tilħaq in-newtralità karbonika sal-2050, trid tagħmel tranżizzjoni mill-fjuwils fossili għall-enerġija sostenibbli. Il-Parlament irid li finanzjament sostanzjali jkun allokat għall-Fond għal Tranżizzjoni Ġusta, biex ikunu mgħejjuna reġjuni, industriji u ħaddiema biex jagħmlu l-bidla għall-enerġiji tal-futur.

Mill-faħam għall-indafa: it-tranżizzjoni ekoloġika tal-Ewropa

Ir-Rom hija l-akbar minoranza fl-Ewropa b'madwar 6 miljun fl-UE. Il-Parlament Ewropew jixtieq jagħmel aktar sabiex jiżgura li d-drittijiet fundamentali tagħhom ikunu protetti u li jkollhom aċċess għal edukazzjoni, impjiegi, kura tas-saħħa u djar diċenti.

Il-MPE qed jitolbu azzjoni biex tintemm l-esklużjoni tar-Rom

Il-President tal-Kummissjoni Ursula von der Leyen indirizzat lill-Parlament fl-ewwel diskors tagħha dwar l-Istat tal-Unjoni Ewropea, u fissret il-pjan tagħha għal rkupru ekoloġiku mill-kriżi tal-COVID-19. Il-klima, l-importanza tal-għaqda u l-kooperazzjoni u l-baġit tas-seba’ snin li jmiss kienu l-elementi ewlenin tad-dibattitu.

Von der Leyen tgħid lill-Parlament li ser tmexxi lill-UE lejn irkupru ekoloġiku

Il-MPE ser jiddibattu l-ewwel indirizz dwar l-Istat tal-UE mill-President tal-Kummissjoni Ursula von der Leyen u jipproponu bidliet fil-mekkaniżmu tal-protezzjoni ċivili tal-UE. Huma ser jirrepetu sejħiet biex jikber id-dħul tal-UE mingħajr ma jitgħabba l-kontribwent. Dak kollu u aktar dalwaqt minn Brussell.

Dalwaqt minn Brussell: L-Istat tal-UE, it-tranżizzjoni ekoloġika, il-protezzjoni ċivili u aktar

Wara sena fit-tmexxija tal-Kummissjoni Ewropea, il-President von der Leyen bdiet timplimenta l-inizjattivi tal-programm tagħha. Il-Membri tal-Parlament ser jeżaminaw l-aħħar tnax-il xahar u janalizzaw kif ser ikun jidher il-futur tal-UE - l-irkupru mill-Covid19, l-iffinanzjar tas-seba' snin li ġejjin, il-protezzjoni tal-klima, u l-pożizzjoni mill-ġdid tal-UE fuq il-mappa tad-dinja huma fuq l-aġenda.

Announcer: Id-Dibattitu dwar l-Istat tal-Unjoni Ewropea 2020

Il-mexxejja tal-UE setgħu laħqu ftehim dwar il-baġit 2021-2027 u l-pakkett ta' rkupru tal-Covid-19 iżda l-Parlament qal li ma jistax jaċċetta il-ftehim kif inhuwa. Tnaqqis fi programmi bħal Erasmus+, Horizon Ewrope u l-Patt Ekoloġiku huwa meqjus mhux aċċettabbli.

Il-Parlament ma jistax jaċċetta il-baġit b'terminu fit-tul tal-UE kif inhu

Bl-irkupru mill-Covid19 suġġett għas-semestru li jmiss, il-Parlament ser jikkunsidra leġiżlazzjoni ewlenija dwar l-agrikoltura, it-trasport u l-migrazzjoni. L-assigurazzjoni tal-irkupru ekonomiku waqt li jkunu mħarsa l-impjiegi u l-ambjent hija prijorità. Dan kollu u aktar, ippjanati fis-sitt xhur li ġejjin fil-Parlament Ewropew.

Is-sitt xhur li ġejjin fil-Parlament: it-triq lejn l-irkupru

Il-pandemija tal-Covid19 wriet problema persistenti: nuqqas ta' ċerti mediċini fl-UE. Il-Parlament Ewropew qed jipproponi serje ta' miżuri biex itemm din il-problema li qed tiżdied iżda aktarx siekta.

Il-ġlieda kontra n-nuqqas ta' mediċini fl-UE

Il-Parlament Ewropew irid baġit ambizzjuż tal-UE li jiffinanzja l-irkupru u jgħin biex tinbena Ewropa ekoloġika mingħajr ma jgħabbi lill-kontribwenti jew lill-ġenerazzjonijiet futuri. Iżda kif? B'għejun ta' dħul ġodda msejħa "riżorsi proprji".

Il-Parlament Ewropew jirsisti għal sorsi ta' dħul ġodda għall-UE

Mill-bidu tal-pandemija tal-koronavirus, l-UE kienet fuq quddiem nett fil-koordinazzjoni tal-miżuri, fejn qed tiġġieled kemm il-kriżi tas-saħħa kif ukoll l-impatt ekonomiku. Dawn huma 10 affarijiet li l-UE qed tagħmel biex l-Ewropa tqum fuq saqajha.

COVID-19: 10 affarijiet li qed tagħmel l-UE biex issostni l-irkupru

L-Ewropa kellha quddiemha sfidi kbar matul l-aħħar sitt xhur iżda qed tħares 'il quddiem u investiet f'soluzzjonijiet għat-tul. Biex tiġġieled l-effetti tal-COVID-19, l-Unjoni Ewropea rrilaxxat fondi bla preċedent biex issostni lill-persuni, l-impjiegi u r-riċerka. Biex jiffaċċa l-emerġenza tal-klima, il-Parlament kompla bil-ġlieda tiegħu għal politiki aktar ekoloġiċi u miri aktar ambizzjużi.

Il-Parlament fl-2020 sa issa...

L-UE qed tirrevedi r-regoli għat-trasportaturi bit-triq. Il-bidliet ifissru kondizzjonijiet tax-xogħol aħjar għas-sewwieqa, regoli aktar stretti biex ikunu miġġielda prattiki illegali u teknoloġiji intelliġenti għall-infurzar tar-regoli. Ir-riżultat ser ikun industrija aktar sikura u aktar ġusta.

Aġġornament fir-regoli tat-trasport bit-triq

Il-konsumaturi Ewropej li sofrew l-istess ksur tad-drittijiet tagħhom, dalwaqt ser ikunu jistgħu jħarrku kumpanija bħala grupp, irrispettivament fejn joqgħodu. Kważi impossibbli bħalissa, din il-leġiżlazzjoni ġdida ser tagħmilha eħfef biex tipproteġi lill-konsumaturi, waqt li tevita azzjonijiet legali abbużivi.

Protezzjoni aħjar għall-konsumaturi Ewropej

Il-provvisti tal-enerġija Ewropea għandhom ikunu siguri, diversi iżda anke ekoloġiċi. Għalhekk il-Parlament irid jaġġorna l-linji gwida tal-finanzjament tan-netwerk tal-enerġija trans-Ewropew, biex jinkludu l-miri dwar il-klima tal-UE, skont il-patt ekoloġiku, filwaqt li jkun assigurat li ebda reġjun ma jitħalla barra.

Enerġija Ewropea diversifikata u sigura

Is-sessjoni plenarja ta' Lulju, l-MPE ser jiddibattu l-irkupru u l-baġit fuq terminu ta' żmien twil. Huma ser jivvutaw għal regoli aktar ġusti għat-trasportaturi u jappellaw għal strateġija dwar is-saħħa pubblika integrata tal-UE. Dak kollu u aktar, dalwaqt minn Brussell.

Dalwaqt minn Brussell: Rkupru u l-baġit tal-UE, regoli dwar it-trasport bit-triq u s-saħħa pubblika

It-tibdil fil-klima diġà qed jolqot lill-Ewropej illum. L-Ewropa qed taġixxi issa bil-Patt Ekoloġiku u l-Parlament qed ikollu rwol ċentrali fit-tfassil tal-ekonomija sostenibbli ta' għada.
