Debates

AFCO

The future of EU-UK relations: After the start of the Brexit negotiations in June 2017, what measures and legal frameworks should be put in place to minimise the impact of the UK’s exit from the Union and how should the EU ensure a favourable outcome in the negotiations?

CULT

Linguistic diversity as a resource: With at least 130 languages across Europe at risk of extinction, what measures should the EU take in order to protect the multilingual heritage in Member States?

DROI

Marriage for everyone: Following the recognition of same-sex unions in Finland, Germany and Malta in 2017, how should the EU protect the rights of sexual minorities in its Member States?

ECON

The neverending Eurocrisis: After hitting rock bottom, Greece is finally showing signs of recovery that will allow it to exit the Excessive Deficit Procedure. Bearing in mind that the Eurozone still has a long way to reach financial stability, what steps should the EU take to protect the future of its common currency?

EMPL

Revolutionary tool for social benefits: In 2017, Finland started a trial to provide basic income as a source of social benefits for the unemployed, with the Netherlands also among those showing interest in the concept. What stance should the EU take in the introduction of the basic income within its Member States?

LIBE I

Cross-border working endangered: With various Member States reinstating border controls and suspending the Schengen Agreement due to the on-going refugee crisis, what steps should the EU take to secure the free movement of workers and a fully functioning internal market?

LIBE II

Consequences of the refugee crisis: Taking into account the current systems for relocation of refugees arriving into the EU, loudly contested by Member States as faulty and ineffective, what changes should the EU implement to create functioning policies that share the burden fairly among Member States whilst also respecting the rights of refugees?

TRAN

Changes in the air: A proposal for a common Aviation Strategy was initiated in 2015 to generate growth for the aviation industry and to tackle growing CO2 emissions. How can the EU smoothly implement proposed legislation that would prioritise the upkeep of environmental standards and affordable air travel, without compromising the global competitiveness of European airlines?
