Our guests this week include Robert Biedron, Polish MEP from the Socialist group, Deirdre Clune, outgoing Irish MEP from the European People's Party and Jaume Duch, the spokesperson for the European Parliament. The panel picked apart the highs and lows of the last 5 years at the European Parliament. From sealing deals on a migration pact after a decade of debate and the world's first ever AI regulations, MEPs sounded satisfied that a lot of compromises had been clinched but still concerned about the major inequalities across Europe. Jaume Duch hopes people will vote this June. “Now it's about ...

But those reforms have been caught up in political infighting, resulting in measures many feel are too lax to tackle wrongdoing among elected officials. Investigative platform Follow the Money recently highlighted the extent of that wrongdoing, estimating that a quarter of current Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have been embroiled in some sort of scandal, ranging from sexual harassment to nepotism and bribe-taking. Lawmakers voted Wednesday on a new anti-harassment training for elected members, a response to a growing body of evidence that bullies and sexual perpetrators have long g...

It took only 40 days for the European Parliament to give its final nod to a legal package simplifying farm subsidies – a record for reforming a such major policy area. The plan was presented to EU lawmakers in mid-March by the European Commission, in a bid to cut red tape and reduce certain green conditions in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Officials hoped that would appease farmers who have protested across Europe since the end of last year, complaining about red tape and poor incomes. A majority of the parliament backed the package in a vote in Strasbourg on Wednesday (24 April), duri...

Manfred Weber - European People's Party (EPP)Asked to recall the mandate's biggest success, the chairman of the centre-right EPP group harked back to the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The biggest achievement for sure was to restart the European economic engine after the corona crisis. The Recovery Resilience Fund was for sure the most important decision in this mandate," he explained, recalling the EU's record-smashing €723.8 billion temporary recovery instrument. Weber also named measures taken to curb climate change among his biggest highlights, despite his EPP party coming under fire...

Lawmakers will now head back to their native countries to prepare for the elections in June when voters will choose the 720 members of the next legislature. For many in the Parliament, the respite will doubtless be welcomed after five years of navigating a formidable succession of global emergencies, haggling over transformative pieces of legislation and scrambling to manage PR disasters. "I would never have been able to predict both how much we managed to achieve, but also how many crises and challenges we've had to overcome and to handle," the Parliament's president, Roberta Metsola, told Eu...

EU lawmakers today voted 482 to 47 to set up a long-promised EU anti-money laundering agency, as part of a package that would also see large cash payments banned across Europe. The move – taken by MEPs at their last voting session before June elections – means new rules apply for football deals and crypto transactions, as the bloc seeks to repair its reputation after a series of financial-sector scandals. “Dirty money finances terrible crimes,” EU financial services commissioner Mairead McGuinness said, adding that there was an “absolute imperative to improve significantly on the current situa...
