ENVI I

Mental Health Depression, schizophrenia, suicidal thoughts: According to the UN health agency report, Europe rates highest when it comes to suicide related deaths.

ENVI II

Common Drug Law: With cannabis becoming legal in parts of the world and European countries considering the legalisation of cannabis for recreational use how can the EU ensure a common policy/guideline to protect the liberties of its citizens?

LIBE

Securing the rights of immigrants: Recently approved legislation in Denmark among other acts imposes doubled penalties for crimes committed in designated low-income, predominantly Muslim areas, and has been criticised as xenophobic and discriminatory on the basis of religious beliefs. As many European countries are struggling with the integration of refugee communities, how can the EU ensure its goals of fundamental human rights and freedom while respecting the Member States' sovereignty?
