This infoclip shows footage of the Cukrarna Gallery opened in September 2021 in Ljubljana (Slovenia) with the contribution of the European Regional and Development Fund (ERDF). The Slovenian capital has gained a new space that serves both as a venue for exhibiting contemporary art and as a place where thoughts can be explored and contemporary art projects of all kinds – visual, intermedia, performance, sound, music and more – can be created and presented. The financial contribution from the EU ERDF is of 10,7 million euros for a total estimated value of 24,6 million euros.

The European Parliament has acted to protect and promote the EU's regional crafts and industries.   
   
The Geographical Indications system already provides a seal of quality for some of the EU’s best-known food and drink products.    
   
Now, it will be extended to industries like textiles, jewellery, glass, porcelain and cutlery.   
   
The new framework will benefit smaller businesses, boost jobs and tourism and help fight counterfeiting.

Chips and semiconductor materials are everywhere: in your phone, your car, your computer, even in your fridge! The European Parliament wants to make sure enough chips are produced in the EU and that Europeans don’t suffer from shortages.
Your questions on chips, answered by MEP Dan Nica.

Microchips matter! The European Chips Act explained

I get safer food and products. I get cleaner air and water. I get the ability to live and work wherever I want. I get to call home at domestic prices no matter where I am in the EU. I get to pay using one currency in 19 different countries. These are just some of the things I get from the EU.

What do I get from the EU?

What does the EU do for us? It makes sure our food and products are safe. It connects Europe with safe infrastructure that makes travel cheaper and easier. The single market gives job opportunities to millions of EU citizens.  And calling home from any EU country is now cheaper than ever.  Not bad, right?

What has the EU ever done for me?

Parliament set its position on a series of laws designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. MEPs called for a Convention to discuss modifications to EU treaties, following the outcome of the Conference on the Future of Europe. The speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament addressed members in Strasbourg. And the Bosnian film ‘Quo Vadis, Aida?’ won the 2022 LUX Audience Award.

Plenary highlights: Climate action, EU treaty change and LUX Award

They put finishing touches to citizens’ proposals on European values and democracy, migration and the EU’s place in the world. Plenary also debated recommendations on health, climate change, the economy, culture and digital transformation.

Conference plenary hones citizens' proposals for a better EU

The Conference on the Future of Europe returned to the European Parliament in Strasbourg this weekend. Representatives from European and national Citizens’ Panels championed their recommendations on improving the EU - and debated them with European and national lawmakers. The Conference plenary heard from Ukrainians about the war in their homeland, as it discussed the EU’s role in the world. The economy, migration, jobs and the digital transformation were also on the agenda - along with education, culture, youth and sport.

EU in the world and the economy: Citizens champion their ideas

European citizens have voted for 48 recommendations to help shape the EU of tomorrow. Some 200 participants were in Dublin for the third and final session of the European Citizens’ Panel on a stronger economy, social justice & jobs, education, culture & sport and digital transformation. Representatives will take the recommendations forward to the plenary of the Conference on the Future of Europe at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Key legislation on protecting the environment and reaching net-zero emissions will be under scrutiny. Meanwhile, MEPs will examine a new framework for digital services and AI that works for both people and businesses. All that and more coming up in 2022.

What's in store for 2022?

2022 is the European Year of Youth. Europe has long recognised that investing in young people is, by definition, investing in the future.

Let’s take a look back at how European youth policy has grown stronger over the years.
