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 ...

The survival of the European Green Deal could rest on the upcoming European Elections, Green MEPs have warned. They say that if right-wing parties make significant gains in June, plans to protect nature and mitigate climate change could be watered down or even disappear completely. Speaking at a briefing on Tuesday before his last session in the European Parliament on Wednesday, co-president of the Green group of MEPs Philippe Lamberts called out the “absolute bullsh*t” of politicians claiming to fight for climate action while doing the opposite. He criticised centrist politicians who he claim...

Dem EU-Ziel, bis 2050 klimaneutral zu sein, stehen dem Europäischen Rechnungshof zufolge zahlreiche Herausforderungen im Weg. Ein Hindernis für die Verkehrswende sei etwa, dass europäische E-Autos teils zu teuer seien, teilte der Rechnungshof am Montag mit. Elektrofahrzeuge müssten die breite Masse erreichen. Zudem weise das Ladenetz in Europa große Löcher auf. Auch Alternative Kraftstoffe seien keine echte Alternative, da die Menge schlicht nicht ausreiche. Der Verkehrssektor sei für etwa ein Viertel der gesamten Treibhausgasemissionen in Europa verantwortlich, allein die Hälfte davon entfall...

Three political groups threaten to derail an attempt to fast-track a modification of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) designed to mollify protesting farmers during the last voting plenary of the current legislative term on 25 April. The CAP simplification package proposed by the Commission in late February aims to cut red tape for farmers, by reducing green conditions required to receive CAP funding and providing exemptions from checks for farms under 10 hectares – which will affect 65% of CAP beneficiaries. This week (15 April) the European Parliament’s agriculture committee (AGRI) opted ...

The voting patterns of MEPs over the past five years have confirmed a clear party political division over climate action and nature protection, revealing in addition to a predictable gulf between the positions of the Greens and the far-right a clear fault line running through the political centre. Five of the largest Brussels based environmental NGOs analysed 30 key pieces of environmental legislation and ascribed scores from zero to 100 based on whether lawmakers supported or rejected the more ambitious action and targets the groups have been advocating, tagging the latter as 'prehistoric'. T...

A long-term EU just transition fund and progressive taxes are required to fulfil the European Green Deal, more than seventy organisations will urge leaders gathering for a European Council summit in Brussels this week. Ahead of the meeting of heads of state and governments in Brussels tomorrow and Wednesday (16 and 17 April), 77 civil society organisations, trade unions and academia are urging EU leaders to revise the priorities set out in a leaked Strategic Agenda 2024-2029, a document meant to guide the political priorities of the upcoming EU mandate, arguing otherwise they are “on the wrong...

A leaked intergovernmental priority list suggests environmental matters will be relegated below issues of defence, immigration and food security in the next legislative cycle, while Hungary has made it clear the Green Deal will not be a priority when it takes over the EU Council presidency in July, and Belgian premier Alexander De Croo has warned of the huge cost of implementation. An internal working draft of the EU’s Strategic Agenda for 2024 to 2029, widely circulated in Brussels earlier this week, sets out three priority areas, with the first being the promotion ‘strong and secure Europe’,...

Increased renewable and energy efficiency targets, less air pollution and tackling environmental crime were some of the achievements hailed by EU lawmakers driven by the European Green Deal, the EU’s leading climate agenda announced in 2019. The EU’s climate-neutrality plan vowed by 2030 to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% set against a 1990 benchmark, and to reach net zero by 2050. Simone Tagliapetra, senior fellow at think tank Bruegel and professor of energy and climate policy with Johns Hopkins University, said von der Leyen has “successfully" pivoted the EU towards cl...

Environmental organisations urged governments not to back-pedal on new legislation to prevent deforestation linked to goods imported into the EU, after a large majority of agriculture ministers lined up behind a call to postpone the law which is due to take effect at the end of this year. In an open letter to EU governments today (28 March) some three dozen NGOs including forest action group Fern and the legal charity Client Earth reacted with alarm to an “urgent call for action” tabled by Austria at an EU Council summit on Tuesday, demanding the implementation period be “significantly extende...
