An EU-wide labelling scheme on PFAS

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS) are often associated with us. To prevent the negative effects of PFAS on our health and the environment, an EU-wide labeling requirement should be introduced. This would allow us to know whether the products we use contain PFAS, and whether they pose a risk to our health or the environment. PFAS have been linked to health risks such as cancer and liver injury, and they also pollute the environment, including groundwater. Due to their longevity, they can cause significant damage to the environment. Despite the known health and environmental risks, nothing has been done to prevent the use of PFAS. Therefore, my appeal is for an EU-wide labelling scheme to be implemented to increase transparency. This would provide us with the necessary information to make informed choices about the products we use, and encourage manufacturers to seek alternative, safer ingredients. Ultimately, this would help protect both our health and the environment.

We need a stronger Eastern Europe for a stronger EU

A strong and united European Union can be achieved through mutual support and cooperation among all countries in the region, regardless of their current economic status.

In the European Union, there are 27 countries but not each of them are equally developed: if we look at Eastern Europe, most of the countries are still developing. A strong and united European Union can be achieved through mutual support and cooperation among all countries in the region, regardless of their current economic status. This change will make all countries in the European Union economically self-sufficient and will increase the value of the Euro in the world market.

Trustworthiness and reputational score for media outlets

If media outlets don't provide necessary sources of information or spread disinformation , they should be sued, and a jury should rate their trustworthiness and give the media outlet a reputational score that must be visible on the front page of their website.

Clickbait, misleading headlines and fake news are the undesirable products of today's social media and the instantaneous access to information thanks to the internet. The media's incentives to do journalism are in disarray, and the media's code of conduct has been broken – all caused by the necessity for the media to collect ad revenues with clicks in misleading headlines to viralize content using raged content and the decrease in fact checking and collection of sources due to the pressures to give 'the scoop'. To avoid this, we need a mechanism that enables media outlets to be sued on the basis of malpractice in their report of information specific articles or broadcasts. This should be done is accordance with a flexible but clear set of journalist rules. The flagged news media outlet should be judged by a specific media jury with enough time to assess the content, the use of the language, the sources and its impact in society. After its assessment, it can put a reputational toll on the news outlet for a certain period of time and of a certain value. This toll will modify the average reputational score of the outlet for the period established by the jury. The average reputational score of the news outlets needs to be visible on their web pages and in every news they produce as well as could serve as a parameter in social media algorithm to curtail the spreading of untrustworthy networks in social media. This way media companies will have an incentive to protect their reputational scores practicing good journalism and it will give the public more control and time to assess the fake news putting a public trust price on behaviors that mislead and misinform the public in a more transparent and accountable way.

Having rules does not imply that politicians are in control of them. The court system judge opposition politicians on the if they are corrupt, which is not the same as saying having laws that allow you to detain the opposition automatically transform you into an autocrat system. Media outlets should be held accountable in the same way as politicians, judged by an independent judiciary system, by clear an transparent means in a fair and rule base process and with the right to appeal to higher court of justices.

Iman  • 01 May 2023

Wow, that law to combat disinformation actually looks like an russian foreign agent’s law. Basically, you let the government to decide which media outlets are deemed “good” or which are “spreading disinformation”. Russia does this exact thing and labels any sort of media that opposes it as a foreign agent, discriminating based on a view point. If you are for a free Europe, this is not the way to go….

E-mobility EU common charging infrastructure

When it comes to the electrification of our mobility infrastructure, too much focus has been placed on electric vehicles (EVs) and the required EV charging infrastructure. However, e-bikes and e-scooters are 15 time more energy efficient than EVs  

When it comes to the electrification of our mobility infrastructure, too much focus has been placed on electric vehicles (EVs) and the required EV charging infrastructure. However, e-bikes and e-scooters are 15 time more energy efficient than EVs (meter*passenger/jules) as the car requires more energy to move unnecessary mass, moreover more than half of all the daily trips are less than 3 miles, thus easily sustituible for e-mobility options. Besides this remarkable advantages, there is little political interest in promoting and developing infrastructure for this efficient means of transport. We need an EU wide common docking and charging stations for light e-mobility vehicles, allowing every e-bike producer to design its e-bikes and scooters comply with EU docking and charging standards in every EU27 member states. This infrastructure will lead to an uptake in e-mobility, allowing private owners to secure and charge their e-bikes in the street, reduce the disarray of renting e-bikes and scooters in the cities by providing a designated docking space as well as reduce e-mobility companies operational costs, thus reducing prices and increasing consumers demand.

Why not in Japan? Why not in Australia? 

Europe is already a continent where people no matter their cultural background are welcome to live, study etc. Why don't we expand our cultural backgrounds to teach the rest of the world our values and what Europe really is? From Lapland to Siberia and from Mount Olympus to Mount Everest. Erasmus+ should be for all!

Support sustainable transport in Europe!

Encourage people to use more sustainable means of transport while traveling in Europe (Trains).  Europe is not that big, and it is pretty easy to travel in a sustainable way. I wonder why no initiative supports eco-friendly traveling (not only for young but for ALL Europeans), and flights are still a cheaper way to travel.

More focus on safety in schools all over the EU

A safety program should be made compulsory in all EU member states, with a standardized content covering all possible situations that students and teachers might encounter.

The issue of safety in schools and universities is a crucial aspect in the field of education, which does not receive nearly as much attention as it should. Considering the many factors that have the potential to disrupt the academic process and even have long-term effects on the people affected – ranging from natural disasters to acts of violence between students – it is very important to be knowledgable about the measures we can adopt in each situation in order to protect ourselves and others from harm, while creating a secure, pleasant and intellectually stimulating learning environment. Unfortunately, in many European countries, safety instruction in schools and universities is either completely absent, or treated as something optional, left at the discretion of each institution. Such a program should be made compulsory in all EU member states, with a standardized content covering all possible situations that students and teachers might encounter, preferably delivered through a mix of presentations and role playing.

EU’s Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 Needs Reform 

EU’s Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 Needs Reform   The suggestion of the strategy that 50:50 quotas are necessary to combat gender inequality since leadership positions must represent the demographic of the population is one which I find grossly undermining of our roles as individuals in society. It makes me question the perception of the intentions of men by the European Parliament itself. How can I confidently navigate the world as a woman when the strategies used to fight gender inequality only address surface-level outputs of misogyny and further propagate inequality?  It is my firm belief that there is a need for changing the approach to fighting gender inequality. Rather than focusing on artificially creating diversity in management and leadership positions, it is necessary to divert our attention to developing a strategy where gender equality is pursued on an individual basis rather than a legislative one. Equality of opportunity should be valued higher than equality of results, and ultimately the delegation of leadership and management positions should be based on merit and never gender.

Although I find this idea a bit difficult to concretize, I think that we could start by trains, since they seem to hold a very importante place for greener future. Therefore, the EU should think about rail connection between these countries and also supporting monetarily this type of constructions around countries if possible.

Jacques  • 10 May 2023

I am highly encouraged to take rail and I can't in europe — simply because of the price. If I book 3 months in advance sure, it's possible to find competitively-priced tickets for trains (i.e. Copenhagen > Stockholm). There are a number of mechanisms which could be implement, largely at the state level, following a directive (much like the NDCs for the Partis Agreement) to encourage the use of rail as opposed to planes:

- Increasing airport taxes + provide exemptions to rail companies and operators. However, additional rail capacity also needs to be considered with this — if
- Banning short-haul flights like France recently did, where rail was quicker than the the flight itself, as long as it was under two hours (from memory).
- The added complexity to this is that — whilst flying is absolutely one of the worst impacts an individual can have on the planet — how do we continue to deal with families that are spread out around the globe? So without a doubt, this would have to be done alongside an investment in renewable fuel and technological innovation for the aviation sector.

Supermarkets and DIY stores should be required to build multi-storey buildings to reduce wasted space and land sealing, while creating living space on the upper floors. Since such markets are often surrounded by parking lots, there should also be no problem with shading of surrounding buildings there. As this means additional costs for businesses, this should be subsidised by the EU.

Rights imply, or would like better, an individual’s obligations towards the state and society. The average age in the European Parliament should be lowered to hear people under the age of 25 by setting the age limit at 18 years. These people will follow the same political process, so there is no question of immaturity when someone is voted by almost 80.000 people in each. Rights are therefore only guaranteed by pluralism and the full potential of dialogue.

Setting up all deadlocks in a garden managed by the inhabitants.

This reflection follows a finding that I have been able to make today: a large part of our impasse is used as a car park. However, these areas are not very busy by cars, except in order to be able to park

This reflection follows a finding that I have been able to make today: a large part of our impasse is used as a car park. However, these areas are not very busy by cars, except in order to be able to park in front of the door, and they are naturally ‘easy’ to close to the car. Often concrete and poorly maintained our deadlock could become a real beehive of biodiversity. In addition to the environmental aspect of this project, this project would help to rebuild cohesion between neighbours, the gardens would be maintained by the inhabitants, tables and chairs could be installed there, as well as a collective compost. Thanks to the size of the deadlocks, other developments could be added, a marre, fruit trees, shelter for insects and birds, children’s games, a collective outdoor kitchens, and 1001 ideas from the heads of neighbours enthusiasted by the project!

Require software funded by public money to be open source

All software that is required in order to participate in society, such as bank ID apps, should be open source.

Transparency is an important facet of democracy, and we citizens deserve to understand what's going on and develop our own alternatives. For example, in Sweden there is a software called BankID that is used as an electronic ID card, but it is proprietary and only available on Apple, Microsoft, and Google's operating systems. This enforces their already strong oligopoly and hurts citizens who aren't conforming. An open source ID system could be ported by volunteers to any platform.

As far as democracy is concerned, it would be advisable to protect the institutions either at national or European level by taking as a criterion the equal treatment of all the countries of the Union – north and south. Countries such as Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, Spain, Portugal and possibly Croatia with Slovenia are therefore required to create an improved range of regional support to local competent bodies to replace older local government systems. To make it clearer, compare the Bundesländer (German federal states) and the regions of a Balkan country (e.g.. Greece). Do you think they have the same value? If so, then, as European citizens, we must recall the elements of each place, in order to defend the customs and customs of every citizen and to ensure real equality between residents in an urbanised society and a rural area. Only then will there be real social, democratic and ethical progress.

The balance between competitiveness and supply and the fight against climate change: the role of agriculture and livestock farming

For a long time, policies have prioritized competitiveness over strategic security (strategic chip industry or the reliance on Russian gas). At present, the EU does not have clear and robust legislation that enables it to compete on an equal footing with external producers. 

The EU has to face new challenges that break down the traditional policies carried out previously: for instance, policies have prioritized competitiveness over strategic security, which reflects in the strategic chip industry or the reliance on the Russian fossil fuels and gas. The EU’s complete dependence on industries located in Taiwan for complex chips is a result of the previous logic: chips were simply cheaper to import. But today’s reality and geopolitical tensions have revealed this cross-cutting sector on our economy to obtaining and storing energy from renewable resources. Thus, policies which used to focus solely on competitiveness are no longer working, generating a shift in the global paradigm to ensure security and supply of essential resources and products. This is now being translated into an extremely important field with a high impact on the environment: agriculture and livestock farming. At present, the EU does not have clear and robust legislation to enable it to compete on an equal footing with external producers. We must ensure proper internal competitiveness in our economic system, but I believe it is also necessary to ensure adequate and fair competitiveness with external sectors and more in an area like agrifood and the primary sector. The Union will have to face these challenges to strike a balance between competitiveness and supply and the fight against climate change. Incentivizing framing and agriculture in the EU will not only help mitigate environmental impacts, but also improve our health an animal welfare.

Reinforcing the EU's hard power

We currently live in an unpredictable world, where existential challenges arise unstoppably. International relations are entering a new era of continuous competition and conflict, and a unipolar world is no longer in place. This gives rise to a multipolar world. Regional powers are trying to shift the balance of power in their favor. As a result, it is time for the EU to rise up to the real security challenges that arise in the region. The only way, in my opinion, to respond to the upcoming disputes is by solidifying the EU's foreign policy and hard power. A renewed CFSP and CSDP must give way to real defensive capabilities that will give the EU the power to respond to military challenges autonomously in the future. Moreover, it is time to take seriously the concept of a European army. Even though nation-states' interests will always be the number one priority of member-states, we can never achieve a supranational model of governance, or true European solidarity, without accomplishing consensus in the most important matter for all, security and defense.

Promoting green roofing through EU programmes

Promoting green roofing through EU programmes can help achieve the Union's ambitious and necessary climate goals in a sustainable and biodiverse way by complementing solar panels.

Promoting green roofing through EU programmes can help achieve the Union's ambitious and necessary climate goals in a sustainable and biodiverse way by complementing solar panels. Look at large financial centres, residential blocks and even separate housing from at top-down view and you get a clear picture: A lot of potential surface area is left unused. Green roofing offers a (as the name says) green solution to putting all that potential to work. It produces O2 by taking CO2 out of the air, making cities more breathable while at the same time reducing their carbon footprint. Plant life already installed in public places has also shown that greener cities are more resistant to heat and flooding, since greenery absorbs less heat than concrete while on the other hand absorbing more water. Solar panels have proven to be a great use of the earlier mentioned free surface area. Although in order to work effectively (in the Northern hemisphere) these panels would optimally face South and be installed slanted to catch the most amount of sunlight. On top of that rare earth metals needed in solar panel production are mined in non-sustainable ways and make Europe more dependant of its trading partners. These down sides to solar panels are exactly why greenery on our roofs will be a perfect complementary factor: plant life can be put on any and all types of roof with adequate sunlight, and can be planted sustainably by adapting the choice of flora to local ecosystems. Solar panels have been made popular in large part due to subsidising schemes that made their initial high costs manageable for citizens and companies. The same course of action can be followed with green roofs, whose high installation costs (~€120/m2) are its biggest hurdle. More of an emphasis on this innovation in the EU’s Green Infrastructure project will be crucial.

As much as the development of AI is necessary in order to modernise and further evolve engineering sectors and even help with our daily lives – there is a point where AI must be controlled and have some form of limitations wether they be physical, intellectual or even moral when being used by the public. An example of this can be the use of AI generating art.

There is no health without sport

Our mission is to leave a less polluted planet for future generations than we all have found, highlighting once again the fundamental value of health. If we talk about health, we cannot ignore sport. We want to introduce an idea of sustainable sport that can be practised consciously and benefit the individual and its surroundings. We would like to create equipment to further raise awareness among the community, governments and organisations about the true concept of health, the real concept of practising sport and the true concept of safeguarding the ecosystem, knowing that sport cannot be practised in a compromised environment and that in turn it also undermines health.

Transport planning focused on rail.

The European Union must design a network (national and transnational) of transport, commercial and passenger, on which rail will be the main player. The advantages of rail are as follows: 1.Environmental friendliness than cars and ships, due to the use of electricity for its propulsion 2. As a track-based instrument it has the advantage of increased capacity. This means that it can carry more goods or passengers than the car while it has the possibility of moving within the hinterland as opposed to the ship. 3.Where it is technologically advanced, it shall also significantly prevail in terms of speed, except aeroplanes (train still gains in payload, though) 4. Still relatively cheap instruments compared to the benefits it provides to both society and the environment. 5. It unites remote settlements with urban centres, stimulates local economies and contributes to the development of tourism. The benefits of rail are numerous and it is difficult to name them together. Importantly, it is a form of transport that is energy green and very efficient and we all need to trust it. How will this be achieved? 1. Creation of standards and state-of-the-art rail networks, equal amounts, in all Member States. 2. Introduction of reduced fares compared to buses and airplanes and a 40% reduction in the ticket price for all travel for students. 3. Cutting red tape in transnational connections (commercial and passenger) . 4. Modernising the existing network, drawing up a new network and joining major European ports.

Public bodies should be prohibited from communicating exclusively through advertising funded platforms

When public bodies only communicate at the means of Meta and Twitter, it poses a democratic problem to our society.

Today, public social media discourse takes place predominantly on platforms under the control of private profit-oriented corporations such as the Facebook parent company Meta, Twitter or ByteDance. When public institutions communicate through these channels, they bring these non-democratic actors to the brights of digital communication. At the same time, it forces citizens to consume advertising in order to obtain public information. Thirdly, it makes European communication channels dependent on US and Chinese companies. Public bodies should therefore help create sustainable European communication channels by using open protocols (Matrix, Activiy Pub) and their own digital infrastructure (in the sense of the Fediverse).

It sets a precedent that to be involved with public bodies you need access to technology, it hinders free communication and forces persons to interact with private companies to be allowed their freedom. It's against the principle of the government being for the people and there should be non-private platforms mainted just as well if not better.

Aboveground and underground crosswalks.

Crosswalks should not be placed directly on roads - this puts pedestrians at risk of being hit by a car. Also cars have to stop if pedestrian wants to cross the road and again gain the crossing speed. This leads to higher exhaust pollution. If crosswalks would be underground or aboveground, then pedestrians would be much safer, and cars could run higher speed (like 70kmh instead of 50) polluting less CO2 and other toxic substances.

Crossings like this were common in the 1960s when there was a car paradise in the form of wide lanes, high speeds, etc. But now this has changed and there are a number of factors for this.
1) First, a city for people. The city should be comfortable for people, but not for cars.
2) Low mobility groups. About 30% of them are observed daily in any city, and these can be not only disabled people, but also cyclists. This is extremely inconvenient for them.
3) It is a myth that such transitions create security. As practice has shown, people simply cross the road and this creates more accidents.

This would create insecurity in any case, how would you solve the problem of security in underground passages?
