European integration has been a key driver of economic growth, peace and social prosperity. But challenges remain and crises could arise. In one of its latest studies, “Increasing European added value in an age of global challenges: Mapping the cost of non-Europe (2022-2032)”, EPRS finds that more EU action in 50 policy areas could bring large gains to society, up to more than €2.8 trillion per year by 2032. In this podcast, we will look at the benefits from more EU action in the area of defence.

The European Parliament has called for urgent action to counter hate speech and hate crime.     
MEPs say they should be added to the list of so-called Euro-crimes, meaning common standards and sanctions across the EU.     

They want to extend the current EU framework - which covers hatred based on race, skin colour, religion and ethnicity - to include sex, sexual orientation, age and disability.    
 
Parliament also called for measures to stop the internet and social media being used to spread hate.

On 1 November 1993, the Maastricht Treaty came into force! It marked a new stage in the process of European integration by creating 'an ever-closer union among the peoples of Europe'.   

The Treaty is the cornerstone of the European Union that we know today. It gave more power to the people by increasing the lawmaking powers of the European Parliament!  

Did you know that thanks to the Maastricht Treaty you, as EU citizen, can vote and stand in EU elections in any EU country? Your next chance is in June 2024!

Fl-24 ta’ Frar 2022, il-Kremlin beda jattakka l-Ukrajna. Il-gwerra illegali, mhux ġustifikata u bla provokazzjoni, fuq il-ġar tagħha xxokkjat lid-dinja u biddlet ir-relazzjoni tal-Ewropa mar-Russja. L-UE u l-Parlament Ewropew ikomplu juru solidarjetà ma’ Kiev u jikkundannaw l-aggressjoni Russa, b’sanzjonijiet lil dawk responsabbli u b’għajnuna finanzjarja u materjali lin-nies fl-Ukrajna u fl-UE.

Mindu r-Russja invadiet l-Ukrajna fl-24 ta' Frar 2022, miljuni ta' persuni ġew spostati, mijiet ta' eluf maqtula jew midruba.

Bl-għoti tal-Premju Sakharov, il-Parlament Ewropew itenni s-solidarjetà tiegħu mal-poplu tal-Ukrajna fil-ġlieda tiegħu għal-libertà u l-indipendenza.
