The benefits of the European Union

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 reiterated its call for barrier-free access to plant breeding material.

Rich multinationals should not be allowed to patent natural life, creating monopolies and driving up food prices.

No patents on naturally-obtained plants and seeds

Precision agriculture is making use of satellites, robots and the internet of things to increase yields, while using fewer resources and reducing waste, to feed a growing global population.

Tech-smart farming to feed a growing global population

Small producers in the food supply chain must be better protected against unfair trading practices of bigger trading partners. MEPs want to strengthen the contractual rights of EU farmers, by blacklisting practices contrary to good faith and fair dealing.

Protecting food producers against unfair trading practices

A new set of European rules aims at curbing the use of antibiotics in farming and establishing stricter rules on food imports to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance. The transmission of drug resistance from animals to humans is a serious threat to our environment, our food and our health.

Tackling the spread of drug resistance from animals to humans

At April’s plenary session, MEPs will look to the future of the EU with French President Emmanuel Macron, while also discussing organic food production, the recycling of waste packaging, greenhouse gas emissions, and the problem of money laundering.
