Debates

CRIM

Illegal drug trade in the EU is estimated to be worth as high as 100 Billion dollars. Following the adoption of the 2013-2020 EU Drugs Strategy, what additional measures should European Institutions take to help Member States in the fight against illegal drug markets run by organised crime groups?

DROI

Europe’s external wall: almost three years after the adoption of the Dublin III regulations, how should Europe respond to the perils of illegal immigration and improve living conditions for asylum seekers whilst addressing fair burden-sharing amongst Member States?

FEMM

Although much progress has been achieved in including women into the realm of politics, the vast majority of parliamentarians in most states’ national assemblies are male. In order to influence the gender balance within their parliaments, should European States establish gender quotas for political bodies on the national level or take other appropriate action?

ITRE

The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change set the goal of "holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below two Degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels". What role, if any, should nuclear power play in reaching this goal and ensuring a sustainable and reliable energy supply for Europe?

JURI I

A recently launched popular initiative demands that obligations of international law should only be subordinate to the Swiss constitution and Swiss domestic law. Bearing in mind the impact this may have on the authority of the European Court of Human Rights, should every European country be free to decide on the relation between its domestic and international law?

JURI II

From straight-out bribing to arrangements with high profiled public officials: After the recent scandals of high-level corruption in both private and public sector, which steps should the EU and its Member States take towards more transparency and accountability?

LIBE

Learning from our mistakes: considering Europe's history of integrating immigrants into society, which steps should Member States be taking to successfully integrate immigrants into society, both regarding logistics and tackling existing xenophobia amongst citizens?
