EMPL shadow meeting before the trilogue on European Year of Skills

MEPs debate the EU’s international commitments and the risks of compromising the EU’s green transition. The European Green Deal was presented by the EC in 2019. Its purpose is to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, ensuring zero net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050, economic growth decoupled from resource consumption, and with no one and nowhere left behind. Parliament debates the risks of compromising the EU’s green transition and the EU’s international commitments including those under the Paris Agreement on climate change and the UN Biodiversity Agreement, the latter of which seeks to protect 30% of the earth’s lands, oceans, coastal areas and inland waters. MEPs debate (part 1)

After the vote in plenary on the Nature Restoration Law proposal, the rapporteur, César LUENA (S&D, ES), helds a press conference. The European Commission’s proposal for a Nature Restoration Law is the first continent-wide, comprehensive law of its kind. It is a key element of the EU Biodiversity Strategy, which calls for binding targets to restore degraded ecosystems, in particular those with the most potential to capture and store carbon and to prevent and reduce the impact of natural disasters. The proposal combines an overarching restoration objective for the long-term recovery of nature in the EU’s land and sea areas with binding restoration targets for specific habitats and species. These measures should cover at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030, and ultimately all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050. The transcript is the result of an automated process.

Het Europees Parlement heeft nieuwe regels aangenomen om het simpeler te maken om groene voertuigen bij te tanken. De EU wil een netwerk van elektrische oplaadpunten en waterstoftankstations helpen opzetten die even praktisch en toegankelijk zijn als benzinestations. Intussen moeten vliegvelden en grote havens ook elektriciteit leveren aan vliegtuigen en schepen. De regels maken deel uit van de maatregelen van Fit for 55 tegen broeikasgasemissies en voor een koolstofneutrale EU.
