Debates

AFET

Given the controversy around Nord Stream 2 as well as Europe’s energy dependence on Russia, what stance should the EU take in order to ensure both a reliable and diversified supply of gas for all its Member States?

CULT

Regional and minority languages (RMLs) account for the linguistic diversity and belong to humanity's cultural heritage. Given that the non-respect for regional or minority communities' linguistic rights is qualified as racial discrimination, international organisations such as Unesco, the Council of Europe and the OSCE, are concerned with the risks RMLs face. What actions should the EU undertake to protect linguistic rights?

DROI

With Belarus being the last country in Europe to still apply the death penalty, what would be the means for the European Union to ensure the humane treatment of the death row inmates while promoting its abrogation?

ENVI

Taking into account that one in nine Europeans suffers from depression and 90% of suicides are caused by mental health disorders, how can the European Union ensure that people that suffer from such conditions receive quality treatment and support in workplaces and educational institutions?

INTA

Located between the Russian Federation and the European Union, Belarus is a potential trade connection between the two mega powers. What should the EU’s approach be to open up a new trade corridor, presenting a valuable opportunity for all parties?

LIBE

With debates over migration, refugees and freedom of movement under the spotlight, technologies are increasingly monitoring the movements of people. Today, security policies and the monitoring of human mobility are bounded to privacy issues and public concern. Given the ongoing migrant crisis, what stance should the EU take regarding border control and privacy matters?
