- Description
- More than 16 million tonnes of bottles, bags and other plastic packaging waste
were generated in the EU in 2021.
This ever-increasing number heavily contributes to environmental pollution. New EU rules aim to reverse
this trend by:
♻️ Setting packaging reduction targets for EU countries
♻️ Banning many types of single-use plastic packaging, e.g. for certain fresh fruit and vegetables
♻️ Requiring plastic packaging to include a minimum percentage of recycled plastic
And introducing other measures to reduce, reuse and recycle packaging waste.

- A month ahead of the 2024 European elections, the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, wants us all to keep in mind that decisions taken by her peers have a direct impact on our daily lives.
On 6-9 June people across Europe will elect 720 lawmakers to represent them in decision-making at the European Union level for the next five years.
“This Parliament gets to decide on a lot of things that matter to your daily life. Do not let anybody choose for you", she stressed in this interview.

Researchers and NGOs all over Europe are studying ways to make societies more resilient to crises and to foreign actors trying to interfere in our democratic processes.
Two such researchers are Julia from the Clingendael Institute for International Relations in the Netherlands and Katarina from the Centre for Democracy & Resilience at the GLOBSEC Policy Institute in Slovakia. They specialise in the Western Balkan states and EU accession countries like Ukraine.
The European Parliament backs legislation helping promote this kind of research and recognises the importance of independent bodies. Learn more about how Parliament is fighting the threats to EU democracy here: https://europa.eu/!rg6kY7.

- Description
- Parliament will vote on a reform of the EU’s asylum and migration rules. The new rules will ensure responsibility sharing among EU countries in the management of migrant arrivals, a more efficient response in case of crisis, and a respect of fundamental rights.
The EU has been working on a New Pact on Migration and Asylum and in February 2024 Parliament and the Council reached a provisional agreement to revamp the EU’s asylum and migration laws.
The pact sets out improved and faster procedures throughout the EU’s asylum and migration system. It revises the Dublin regulation, which determines the country responsible for processing each asylum claim.
The new system sets different types of contributions from EU countries, ranging from the relocation of asylum seekers from the country of first entry, to the returning of people deemed to have no right to stay. The new system is based on solidarity and flexible forms of support, which could becom...

- Have you ever felt like shying away from a discussion because the tone was too aggressive and your opinion seemed to get lost between extreme statements?
This is what usually happens when the most extreme points of view are artificially boosted.
By polarising the debate, disinformation spreaders want to make us believe that the differences between us are much greater than they really are and make it difficult to make compromises and reach solutions.
Watch this video to see how this is done and how you can avoid falling into this trap.
