Follow us(opens in a new tab)How did China get its head start in e-commerce? What can be done to better protect 🇪🇺 consumers? How do digital trade & logistics innovations shape consumer access and choice? @SchaldemoseMEP and @PJouvet are on a mission to answer these questions. S&D Times – Weekly Update. This week's highlights…
There can be no compromise between the protection of children online from sexual abuse and the e-privacy of citizens. Any claims suggesting that one must come at the expense of the other are misleading and made in bad faith. No trade-off for S&Ds: Safeguarding children’s…
✅ APPROVED - The 🇪🇺 Parliament approved today the first ever EU Directive on fighting corruption. This is a breakthrough and a victory for European citizens and the rule of law. The Directive sets out common, ambitious rules to prevent, detect and sanction corruption crimes.
Today, we voted in favour of a strong EP mandate for trilogue negotiations on the EU–US tariff deal, addressing the significant shortcomings of the unbalanced Turnberry deal. This is not a green light for the final agreement. @berndlange @brandobenifei EU–US trade: Green light for negotiations, but no…

Europe needs migration, and it needs a solid system to manage it. Today, conservatives in the European Parliament are working behind the scenes with the far-right on controversial policies like the Return Regulation. But, it wasn’t always that way. In the last mandate, we worked with other pro…
No child should wake up every morning to go to work. Children belong in classrooms, learning, growing, and playing with their friends, not carrying tools, harvesting crops, or working long hours to help their families survive. Yet, according to the latest estimates from the International Labour…
What should be “celebration of togetherness” has a vetting process. The World Cup should unite the globe around the most popular sport. So many are excited about the opportunity for cultures to collide and memories to begin. But Trump’s America, prioritising corporate greed and reprehensible…
There is no place for the dehumanisation of workers and migrants in Europe. Behind every punnet of strawberries, there are human beings. Workers who harvest our food under the scorching sun, often for just a few euros an hour, living in degrading conditions without access to basic services,…
On World Oceans Day, Europe is stepping up. And Trump’s USA? Abandoning its responsibilities. As the US dismantles key ocean monitoring infrastructure, the European Union is choosing a different path: investing in knowledge, innovation and long-term capacity through initiatives such as OceanEye…

Islands and coastal communities are an integral part of our society and economy, with very specific needs. None of them can come to life without strong, dedicated funding for them for cohesion policy, fisheries and maritime affairs in the next EU pluriannual budget 2028-2034. @chahim.bsky.social
We're stronger when we stand together. Not just in Europe, but all over the world. Together with partners, we're laying the groundwork for a progressive mobilisation that stands the test of time. One that stands strong in the face of today's many chellenges. Are you with us?✊
