Debates

AFCO I

In light of potential BREXIT and specifically the upcoming UK's EU referendum that will decide the future of the United Kingdom in the European Union, what steps should the EU take in order to avert similar phenomena in the future and henceforth preserve the integrity of the Union?

AFCO II

Separatist movements within the EU: From the Catalans in Spain, to the Scots in the UK – given the lack of common stance and legislature within Member States on the subject, what approach should the EU take towards the possible cases of secession and the membership status of thereby formed areas?

AFET

With Turkey sending the 2015 Annual Progress Report by European Commission back to the European Parliament, how should the EU address the on-going violations of human rights and press freedom in Turkey while maintaining the cooperation required to tackle the refugee crisis?

FEMM

Fighting the bias of the past and the present: With the still defining last generation's perception of gender roles and the ever-existing glass ceiling in the labour market, what stance should the EU take regarding the issue of gender roles and gender-based discrimination in Europe?

INTA

Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership: A potential for growth of the trade volume between the EU and the US. Considering the raised concerns about transparency, food safety and worker’s rights, how should the EU position itself in the last round of TTIP negotiations?

LIBE

Keeping in mind the highly criticised anti-Islam caricatures, Jan Böhmermann being taken to the court in Germany for harshly satirising Turkish President Erdogan and the recent ruling of the European Court of Human Rights on genocide denial, what steps should the EU take to balance the protection and restriction of the freedom of speech?

SEDE

A joined battle against terrorism: From Paris through Ankara and Istanbul to Brussels, the recent terrorist attacks highlighted the rising threats to security of the European nations. What counter-measures should the EU and Member States take whilst ensuring both maintaining the sovereignty of all the countries, and secure Europe?
