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.

Big win for our water! Under our lead, the EU Parliament just passed a law to slash pollution in rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Water quality is just as vital as quantity. By setting stricter standards, we’re protecting our ecosystems and securing cleaner drinking water for

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…
It’s nice to have a debate, Jeff. Only thing is, the average citizen doesn’t own the Washington Post or get to dictate what its journalists can write about. Not everyone can spend millions to influence campaigns or has access to preferential channels with elected politicians. The conversation…
Elon Musk could soon become the world’s first trillionaire. Based on SpaceX’s latest valuation, his fortune could reach around €912 billion ($1.05 trillion), pushing him past the trillion-dollar mark and therefore become the world’s first trillionaire. With that amount, we could fund Erasmus+…

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?✊
