The automotive industry has long been a cornerstone of Europe’s economy, providing over 13.8 million jobs and contributing significantly to the EU’s GDP.

Europe's automotive industry is facing a growing crisis that could lead to the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs in the sector. The EPP Group wants to ensure that driving remains affordable for everyone, not just for those who can afford expensive electric cars. To achieve this, Europe must be driven by economic realism and remain technologically neutral. If we do not, driving will become too costly for many Europeans, and we will lose countless jobs in the automotive industry to competitors like China. Tune in to our latest episode!…

EPP Group Parliamentarians joined Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya in calling for more opposition support and more pressure on the Lukashenko regime. In this podcast, we look at how the European Parliament event highlighted the plight of over 1,500 political prisoners in Belarus.

We also speak with a Belarusian youth who, like many others, fled twice: from Belarus to Ukraine, then to the EU because of the Russian invasion.…
Figures on violence against women are shocking. Every day, two women are killed at the hands of a partner or family member in the EU, and sexual harassment affects one in two women. In this episode of our "A Europe that Protects You" series, we delve deeper into the decisive steps the EU is taking to combat this pervasive issue. We believe that criminalising gender-based violence everywhere in Europe, and to the same standards, is the first step towards this goal. Hear from MEPs Frances Fitzgerald, Arba Kokalari, Elissavet Vozemberg, and Javier Zarzalejos, who spearheaded the EPP Group's efforts on this front, as they share valuable insights. Additionally, activist Iliana Balabanova, President of the European Women's Lobby, sheds light on the current landscape across the EU. She also discusses the significance of recent milestones, including the EU's accession to the Istanbul Convention and the Directive on Combating Violence Against Women. Tune in to learn more about our mission to build a safer European Union for everyone.…
With the EU accounting for 14% of global trade in goods and around 38 million jobs in Europe depending on European exports, the importance of international trade cannot be overstated. In this episode of the EPP Group podcast series ‘ A Europe that Protects You,’ we look at global trade's impact on the EU regarding innovation, competitiveness and job opportunities. In this episode, however, we not only examine the effects of international trade on the EU, but also examine the EU's impact on international trade. This is done through its smart trading agreements, which continue to set global benchmarks for environmental, social and health standards.…
Over 70% of businesses in the EU lack staff with adequate digital skills, which hinders investment. How can we fix the imbalance between unemployment, job vacancies and the skills needed to fill them? The first step towards bridging this gap is to offer further training programs for our workforce. Upskilling and lifelong learning are key parts of this transformation. In this episode of the EPP Group podcast series “A Europe that Protects its People”, we discuss our vision of a Europe that works for everyone while ensuring EU competitiveness. Hear more from our MEPs Axel Voss, Andreas Schwab, Dennis Radtke, Maria Walsh and Žiga Turk, Professor at the University of Ljubljana.…
Healthcare is a key concern across the EU27. In fact, two out of three Europeans would like to see a common European Health Union, according to a Eurostat survey. This would ensure quality care for all Europeans. In this episode of our "A Europe that Protects You" series, we delve into the major achievements of this legislative term and the EPP Group's unwavering commitment to keeping health at the top of the EU's agenda in the upcoming Parliamentary mandate. MEPs Tomislav Sokol, Dolores Montserrat, Peter Liese, Adam Jarubas, Maria Walsh and Maria da Graça Carvalho guide us through the Group's strategic vision to build a true European Health Union.

How to combat organised crime in the EU? Organised crime is a major threat to the internal security of the European Union and Europeans. In 2019, criminal activities like drug trafficking, human smuggling and cybercrime cost the EU a staggering €139 billion. The EPP Group proposes a targeted strategy to 'follow the money' – freezing and confiscating criminal assets to hit organised crime where it hurts. With over 5,000 organised crime groups operating in the EU, we want to equip Europol with sufficient resources to tackle terrorism, human trafficking and drug smuggling on the ground. The Agency should be given an extended operational role and become an operational 'Police Force' on the ground. Every seized drug shipment and every disrupted criminal network brings us closer to a safer Europe. With guests: Lena Düpont, Tomas Tobé, Vincze Loránt, Javier Zarzalejos and Europol Spokesperson, Jan Op Gen Oorth. Listen now!

Higher energy prices squeeze both consumers and businesses. This is due to a green transition toward renewable energy, and a drive toward an EU Energy Union with more dependable supplies from home and abroad. In this episode of the EPP Group podcast series ‘’A Europe that protects its people,’’ we talk to some key players in the European Parliament. They are helping shape Europe’s energy future aimed at securing affordable, renewable and reliable energy supplies. We look at the growing role of hydrogen, especially for energy-intensive industries, and the need for a more integrated energy grid across the EU27 to build a strong European Energy Union resistant to global and regional shocks.

We are only a few days away from the beginning of the COP28 in Dubai where the EU arrives leading the fight against climate change with over 30 laws that aim pushing us closer to achieving the Paris Agreement goals.

Almost 800 young people from all corners of Europe gathered in Brussels for EPP Group Youth Week. They attended topical workshops with experts and debated with MEPs and European Commissioners. They eventually suggested their own campaign on a topic they found crucial at the EU level. We spent some time with them and asked them what they see as the most significant issues in the EU. We also asked what changes they would like to see. From fantastic ideas about the future to a marriage proposal in the Hemicycle of the European Parliament - we've seen it all this week.

Irregular entries into the European Union rose about 20% in the first eight months of this year to over 230.000. Within that number the crossings across the central Mediterranean nearly doubled. The UN International Organization for migration lists 2800 dead or missing, mostly in the central Mediterranean so far this year. The situation is, obviously, very serious and we need a solution.

The European Union needs 10 billion euros more in emergency spending for Europe's recovery from the pandemic, strategic autonomy, the Ukraine war, migration and natural disasters, say EPP Group MEPs in this episode. The funding is to expand on the European Commission's nearly 66 billion-euro proposed top-up of the EU's budget through 2027. Recent fires, floods, a migration crisis have compounded the EU's challenges, and the additional support for Ukraine is needed before existing funding runs out at the end of the year. The EU27 leaders in the European Council will need to approve the extra funding, which MEP Jan Olbrycht of Poland calls "ambitious" and "realistic". Don't miss this episode!

In this podcast episode, we talk to them at a roundtable event in the European Parliament.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is speeding up what the EU has been trying to do for a long time: building a common defence. In this episode, MEPs Sara Skyttedal and Michael Gahler discuss how the EU is buying and building more weapons together to arm Ukraine, with a programme they negotiated in the European Parliament called EDIRPA – European Defence Industry through Common Procurement Act. The aim is to increase interoperability, boost innovation and jobs in Europe and save money through economies of scale. Don't miss it!

Lithium, graphite, cobalt, and nickel are just a few from the long list of Critical Raw Materials essential to today's technology and industry. They are needed for batteries, robotics, solar and wind power. According to current assessments, by 2040, we will need six times more of these minerals than today. But Europe doesn't have many of them; we depend on getting them elsewhere. So where do we get them? And how? In this episode, we talk to MEPs Hildegard Bentele and Tom Berendsen regarding the upcoming EU strategy on this subject. We also discuss the Critical Raw Materials Act. Don't miss it!

In a moving tribute to the victims of Soviet deportations, EPP Group MEPs join with victims and their relatives as well as a Ukrainian diplomat in the European Parliament to mark the Kremlin’s atrocities then and now. In this podcast, we hear the stories of how Stalin deported tens of thousands of East Europans to Siberia during and after World War II.

Recently, the Europol and Eurojust, in cooperation with several national authorities, cracked an international drug trafficking ring, allegedly led by the Italian Ndrangheta. 31 suspects were arrested, 3,8 million were seized. But this is only a drop in the bucket. The statistics show that only about 2% of proceeds from organised crime are frozen, and only 1% is confiscated. How can we do better? The EPP Group has proposed 50 actions to combat organised crime. We discussed them in this episode with MEPs Tomas Tobe and Jeroen Lenaers, both in the EP's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. Don't miss it!

The nature of labour market is changing significantly, many new skills will be needed, but we also see a gap in the market regarding some existing skills and professions. It's only logical to ask - is Europe's workforce future-proof? What are the skills that will be needed, and who should gain those skills?

About one in five children in Europe are victims of some form of sexual violence. That violence extends to the online world. In this episode we discussed how we can prevent online sexual abuse of children. How can we protect the young ones? How can we create a safer online environment for the new generations? Our guests: - MEP Javier Zarzalejos, rapporteur on the proposal for the Regulation to prevent and combat child sexual abuse; - Jean-Philippe Lecouffe, deputy executive director of Europol; - Antonio Labrador Jimenez, EU Commission's team leader on the fight against child sexual abuse.

The European Union's economy is heavily focused on international trade. For this reason, new trade agreements are often a topic of Brussels policies. Even now we see new potential agreements with the USA, Latin America, Australia, Asia... As our economy is going through the green and digital transition, we will need more and more critical raw materials. Can we get that through new trade agreements?

Ahead of the European Congress of Young Farmers, we talked to two of our MEPs - Michaela Šojdrová and Herbert Dorfmann - and Bram Van Hecke, President of the Flemish Groene Kring organisation.

A resolution in the European Parliament calls on the EU to brand Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. In this EPP Group podcast, we talk with MEPs Radosław Sikorski of Poland and Michael Gahler of Germany on the potential impact, such as redirecting frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine ravaged by the Russian invasion.

As of today, 15 November, many women in the EU will work for free until the end of the year - if we compare their salaries to their male colleagues doing the same job. The gender pay gap is still 13% - on average - and EU Equal Pay Day aims to raise awareness of this inequality that jeopardises women's economic independence. Anna Gumbau talked to Maria Walsh MEP, Sirpa Pietikäinen MEP and Mary Collins from the European Women's Lobby about the root causes of this inequality and what direction needs to be taken to tackle this persistent problem in our societies.

For the past 24 years, the EPP Group has had an active Working Group on Intercultural and Religious Dialogue. It’s the only Group within the European Parliament to have this. From understanding different cultures and religions to building trust and ultimately bringing people closer together – that is where the importance of this Working Group lies.

We are only a few days away from COP27 - the United Nations Climate Conference which will be held this year in Sharm el-Sheikh. And since last year's COP in Glasgow, the circumstances have changed significantly. We are witnessing a war, we are witnessing an energy crisis, and ultimately the rising cost of life and cost of doing business. Throughout 2022, the EU has been dealing with its Fit For 55 package which defines Union's climate goals and aims to put them into practice. Cutting carbon emissions, establishing social climate fund, raising the target for renewables... These are just some of the elements covered by the Fit For 55 package, but what is happening in the other regions of the world? Clearly, the EU cannot act on climate change alone, and that's why this COP will be so important. To discuss what we can expect from this year's Conference, in our new podcast episode Anna Gumbau had a talk with MEP Lidia Pereira, a member of the European Parliament's delegation to this year's COP.

It all started in 1993. with four basic freedoms - the free movement of goods, people, services and capital. And next year we are celebrating 30th anniversary of the EU's Single Market. In 2019 there was a study that showed that that GDP across the EU is nearly 10% higher because of this Single Market. So what are the concrete benefits that it brings us, all of us across the EU27?

What is Cohesion Policy? The simplest answer to this question would be - it's billions of euros in funding that the EU provides to develop regions, to correct imbalances and to make sure every part of the EU27 is developing. But since we're talking about billions of euros, given the current geopolitical situation and rising energy prices, we must ask - what can Cohesion Policy do in the context of the energy crisis?

The news of mobilisation order in Russia caused strong reactions around the world. Just as annexation of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. So how can Russia's annexation of four Ukrainian territories change the situation on the ground? What should EU countries do with Russians that want to escape mobilisation?

For this episode of our podcast, Chris Burns sat down for a talk with MEP Željana Zovko, the shadow rapporteur on the New European Bauhaus in the CULT Committee. This European Commission's initiative comes as a call for a sustainable future in line with the digital and green goals. The idea is to connect the world of culture and art with the world of technology and science to create pleasant, accessible, sustainable and energy-efficient living spaces. But, without the safety component, it just won't be enough.

The EPP Group podcast is back and ready to bring you closer to the European Union. In this first episode after the summer break, we focus on youth: what they need, what they expect from the EU and how they can help us build a better and forward-looking Europe in this changing world. Climate change, jobs, health, preserving peace and innovation are some of the topics Jack Parrock will walk us through, with testimonies from young Europeans.

The goal of the Paris Climate Accord was clear - to reduce CO2 emissions. The course was set on renewables. Russia’s unjustified war against Ukraine has accelerated the need for the EU to become independent from Russian fossil fuels. The EPP Group wants to move away from Russian oil and gas, while committing to climate goals and de-carbonising the economy. So how do we now reorient towards making and storing our energy? To get some answers, Chris Burns spoke to MEP Markus Pieper, the Rapporteur on the Renewable Energy Directive. Tune in to our latest episode!

With the inflation rate reaching a decades-record high, soaring heating and fuel costs, the cost of living is now a headache for everyone. What can we do to relieve citizens and businesses in Europe? With high energy prices, disrupted supply chains and the transition towards climate neutrality, how can our businesses endure these developments?

Last week's plenary vote on the "Fit for 55" package showed that there are differences between the different political Groups within the European Parliament on how to achieve the goal stated in the Climate Law. But the goal itself was never in question - to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by 2035. During that same plenary week, Chris Burns talked to a number of EPP Group MEPs involved in shaping this package, seeking a way to make it a win-win for people, the planet, jobs and businesses.

1 The Roots of Westminster Democracy and The Future of the European Parliament: a book by Paulo Rangel 36:41
In this week's episode, we will turn a few pages of a new book written by EPP Group Vice-Chair MEP Paulo Rangel. The book is called “On Parliament,” and it traces the history of the UK Parliament to tell a story about how an institution that virtually used to have no powers became one of the most powerful institutions. Which lesson can the European Parliament learn from this history? Which similarities can we find in these two parallel stories? Mr. Rangel was joined at his book launch by the President of European Parliament, Ms. Roberta Metsola, and RENEW MEP Guy Verhofstadt.

Thousands of EU citizens, local, national, European representatives, civil society and social partners’ organisations have spent the past year in discussions during the Conference on the Future of Europe. The result was a resolution that was this week adopted in the European Parliament. This resolution outlines most important changes, that people of EU want to see, as well as measures to achieve those changes. People have expressed that they want a stronger democracy, a true health union, better cybersecurity, more energy security, more ambitious climate policies... And much more than that. This podcast episode was recorded on the eve of the last Conference on the Future of Europe Plenary, as a conversation between EPP Group's Chairman Manfred Weber, and Georgina Wright, Director of Europe Program at Paris-based think-tank Institut Montaigne.

Artificial Intelligence has emerged as a strategic technology that has huge potential benefits. While discovering and harnessing these benefits, we must put the human being at the centre of that innovation. The EPP Group wants clear standards for this human-centred approach, as well as a harmonised, flexible and risk-based regulatory environment. The European Parliament set up a Committee on Artificial Intelligence in the Digital Age (AIDA) in 2020, and the Committee's job was to present a European Roadmap for AI.

The flaring up of tensions along the border between Poland and Belarus has dominated EU headlines. Poland has accused Alexander Lukashenko of encouraging thousands of migrants from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere to travel to Belarus and cross the border illegally into Poland. Though the number of people crossing into the EU is far below the numbers we saw in 2015, the freezing temperatures and violence along the border has attracted widespread attention and worry from the EU and elsewhere. Without a doubt, these events pose a significant challenge for the Union and its decision-makers. So what should the EU do?

Men die younger than women. This statistic is true for every country around the globe.

Even though the Polish Government says it doesn't want to see Poland leave the EU, its actions often tell a completely different story. Courts packed with politically eligible individuals, blatant disrespect for the primacy of EU law, controversial legislation and tribunal rulings. All this has forced the people of Poland to take to the streets, and has also caused friction between the Polish Government and the EU Institutions. During the last plenary session in Strasbourg, Prime Minister Morawiecki stood in front of the European Parliament and members of the Commission. We have recorded a recap of the recent tensions between Brussels and Warsaw with MEPs Radosław Sikorski and Jeroen Lenaers. Tune in!

In this week’s episode, our host Georgina Wright is joined by Lidia Pereira, a Member of the European Parliament since 2019 and President of the Youth of the European People's Party; Monika Grzegorczyk, a researcher at the Brussels based think tank Bruegel; and Marc Steiert, a researcher at the European University Institute in Florence. Throughout the discussion they raised some important points on youth unemployment, which has increased dramatically during the pandemic. According to a recent European Parliament report, 1,1 million young people aged 15 to 24 - and a further one million young people aged 25 to 29 - lost their jobs between the end of 2019 and the first quarter of 2021. So what could the EU do to help? Tune in! If you have a topic that you would like to hear discussed on this podcast, please get in touch via social media.

In this week's episode we are discussing the impact of the Farm to Fork Strategy. The European Commission proposed Farm to Fork and it is expected to set certain targets, including cutting pesticide use in half and reducing the use of mineral fertilisers by 20 percent. But - what will be the impact of these measures both on farmers and on consumers? Our host Chris Burns looked for the answer to this question with a Finnish farmer, Susanna Suonio, Herbert Dorfmann MEP and Prof. Dr. Christian Henning, who has done an actual study on the impact of the Farm to Fork Strategy.

In this week's episode, we are bringing you a talk about the future of EU-US relations. In light of the recent events in Afghanistan, but also in light of the AUKUS deal, the alliance between the USA, the UK and Australia, which involved a submarine deal worth billions that replaced a French deal on submarines, it's obvious that relations between Europe and the United States have taken a hit. Where might all this take us and what should we expect? Our host Chris Burns and MEP Radosław Sikorski engaged in an interesting discussion on the subject.

Female breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer. Over 355.000 women in the EU's 27 countries were estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. It amounts to 13,3 percent of all cancer diagnoses. In this podcast, you're going to hear from three women who are each playing a different but important role in the fight against breast cancer. Dr. Isabel Rubio is the Head of Breast Surgical Oncology at Clinica Universidad de Navarra in Madrid, Spain. She has a real insight into what's going on in hospitals right now. Barbara Wilson is a highly experienced senior HR professional and herself a breast cancer survivor. She set up an organisation in the UK called Working With Cancer, which is all about helping employees and employers deal with the issues that cancer raises in the workplace, providing all sides with education and support. And Deirdre Clune, a prominent Irish Member of the European Parliament who sits with the EPP Group. She's a leading figure in the Parliament's Special Committee on Beating Cancer. In this podcast, we're talking about screening and early detection, the effect COVID-19 has had on fighting cancer and what the EU's role is in all of it.

The latest developments in Afghanistan have, once again, urged another global discussion on security and defence. And while most will automatically think of NATO on this topic, we can't go on without asking - what about the EU? What about European defence? In our latest podcast episode, Georgina Wright sat down for a talk with MEP Arnaud Danjean, and Claudia Major from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. The three of them raised several important questions during their discussion - where and how should Europe stand in matters of defence?

Enlargement is often considered one of the EU's most powerful policy tools. But is it the right time for the EU to welcome new Member States? And what do citizens think about it? Are we ready? Especially given the fact that the EU is still recovering from several crises it has encountered over the past decade. In the latest episode of the EPP Group's podcast series 'What's next for the EU?', Georgina Wright discusses these exact questions with Karlo Ressler MEP, a Croatian politician, former adviser and Member of the European Parliament since 2019, and Joanna Hosa, Deputy Director of the Wider Europe Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

Hate speech online against women is a growing problem, which perpetuates and exacerbates gender inequality. In fact, 1 in 10 women in Europe have experienced some kind of cyber violence since the age of 15. And many of those who suffered it changed their habits in the online space by: censoring themselves online, opting out of participation and limiting their engagement in our societies. On this EPP Group podcast episode, Karen Coleman delves deeper into this problem to better understand: What is it? What causes it? What effect does it have on us? What can social networks & EU legislation do to eradicate hate speech online against women? She talks to - Roberta Metsola MEP, Sirpa Pietikäinen MEP, Councillor Yemi Adenuga, Founder of Sheroes Global, Asha Allen, Policy and Campaigns Officer at the European Women’s Lobby, Professor Sara De Vido, Law Professor at the University of Venice, expert on Legal Frameworks related to Violence Against Women, and Marisa Jiménez Martín, Director of Public Policy and Deputy Head of EU Affairs, Facebook - to answer these questions and give some solutions.

Defence research has laid the groundwork for some of our greatest technological leaps – including the modern Internet. However, in the past ten years, with the advent of deep-learning techniques, massive processing power, huge databases and near-real time information, AI has started to have profound implications for the defence world. Yet according to the European Defence Agency, few European Member States have a dedicated AI strategy for defence, instead just referencing defence in their national AI strategies. This means that joined-up thinking on this issue across the EU is challenging. Member States should work together to identify defence applications where AI can be truly helpful, where it might have incremental improvements and where we should be wary of using it. Jennifer Baker talks to MEP Riho Terras along with Estonian IT visionary Taavi Kotka, and Fabrice Pothier from Rasmussen Global.

Today, the European Union is facing many challenges, probably more than ever before. Inevitable changes are required to tackle the pandemic, the climate crisis, and to remain competitive in a world of turmoil. The EU has launched a new Conference on the Future of Europe, designed to ask the citizens what they want and what they expect from the EU. To keep up with the conference, the EPP Group has launched a new podcast series: 'What's next for the EU?' in which our moderator, Georgina Wright, Head of the EU Programme in the Paris-based think-tank Institute Montaigne, will talk about what Europe should look like in the future, with some prominent guests.

Data is the driving force behind innovation, particularly in Artificial Intelligence. But there are many different sorts of data – from commercial data, to personal data, big open source public data, to metadata – and how it is mined, managed and made useful has a huge impact on how successful the resulting AI programs will be. Getting access to the various types of data is a challenge that could potentially be overcome by EU guidelines. But at the same time, data flows freely globally and Europe cannot afford to become a walled garden. In the new episode of the EPP Group podcast, Jennifer Baker talks to MEPs Eva Maydell, Angelika Niebler and Christian Ehler about the challenges and potential solutions.

In 2016, more than half the child sex abuse material hosted globally was in Europe, so there is still some way to go to make children safe online. We look at the issues of cybercrime and digital literacy. Future generations must be able to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by digital technologies and this means teaching children how to protect themselves online, but also how to navigate the online world critically so they don't become prey to disinformation or conspiracy campaigns. We also need to tackle online child sex abuse. The dark web has allowed networks to proliferate in exchanging this material, and social media sites can often be a gateway for grooming vulnerable children. To discuss all this and the potential solutions, we are joined by MEPs Frances Fitzgerald and Sabine Verheyen and from Europol, Head of Operations of the Cybercrime Unit, Fernando Ruiz Pérez.

In a post-Brexit Europe, the idea is to reconnect European citizens with the decision-making process in Brussels and Strasbourg - to give the people their say in how the EU should function.

What more can Europe do to provide childhood cancer patients with the best treatment and care available, and support for survivors? In this new episode of our EPP Group podcast, we approach these questions in relation to the fight against paediatric cancer, from the main challenges young patients face, to the encouraging opportunities that the recently launched European Beating Cancer Plan will bring to beat this disease. Hear from the Polish Vice-President of the European Parliament, Ewa Kopacz, a former Prime Minister, Minister of Health and paediatrician. She discusses the need for specialised treatments that are developed to suit the needs of children, the lack of research, the long-term effects that young patients face into adulthood and the existing inequalities among EU countries on survival rates. Much remains to be done as regards the last point, especially when being born in Eastern Europe still means a 20% lower chance of surviving paediatric cancer compared to the rest of Europe. Furthermore, experts on childhood cancer, including Professor Jill Vassil, Board Member of the European Society of Paediatric Oncology; Dr Latimer, Managing Director of the Anti Cancer Fund and Professor Carmello Razzaghi, President-elect of the European Society of Paediatric Oncology, will give some clues about the steps that are necessary to improve the prospects for paediatric patients.
