The EU elections, due to be held between 6 June and 9 June this year, have already drawn a significant amount of attention, with several parties promising different regulations and facilities, especially for businesses. According to the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), this year's elections could potentially swing to the right in several countries, because of an increase in the appeal of populist radical right parties. On the other side, green parties, and centre-left parties' sway could quickly decrease. The outcome of the EU elections could have a significant impact on trade pol...

If everyone in the world had consumed as much as EU residents have over the last four months, humanity would have exhausted the planet's natural resources available for the entire year this Friday. The EU accounts for only 7% of the world’s population and yet we would need three planets to satisfy our demand if everyone on Earth lived like Europeans. Our planet simply cannot afford Europe’s consumption habits. This is not only unsustainable, it is irresponsible. Despite the urgency, there is no clear plan in sight to reverse this trend. On the contrary, European Council President Charles Miche...

In an interview with Euronews on Thursday, the 36-year-old German - one of two lead candidates fielded by the European Greens for June's ballot - outlined her vision for upholding the embattled European Green Deal, the EU’s plan to become the first climate-neutral continent. In recent months, Reintke's Greens party has led criticism of the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) - set to top the poll in June and remain the parliament’s biggest faction - for what they describe as attempts to water down the Green Deal in response to a wave of demonstrations among farmers. Farmers' protests le...

The Greens’ chief climate policy negotiator in the European Parliament has warned a shift to the right in the coming EU elections could put at risk five years’ worth of new legislative work to address the crisis of global temperature rise, while presenting his own group’s vision for a new Green Industrial Deal supported by a trillion-euro EU fund and preferential interest rates from the European Central Bank. A swing to the right and the re-appointment of incumbent European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen could see several hard-fought pieces of EU climate and energy legislation opene...

Improving competitiveness (better conditions for businesses), cutting bureaucracy, protecting jobs and supporting the green transition are just a few of the key pledges from the party groups ahead of the European Parliament elections taking place 6-9 June. Turning on the economic growth engine in the continent for the next five years appears to be a complicated task. The current output is little more than zero and the outlook for the next years appears to be stark, according to the IMF which states: "Europe's medium-term growth prospects have been declining for some time." The last five years ...

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...
