Der mehrjährige Finanzrahmen aus Sicht des Europaparlaments: derstandard.at/story/3000000…

Wird der EU-Haushalt gekürzt, dann verliert Europa

Die EU soll mehr leisten, bei gleichen Mitteln – das kann nicht funktionieren. Es droht ein gespaltenes Europa, das nicht in Sicherheit und Wohlstand investieren kann. Welcher Staat will das wirklich?

Summer means more journeys by rail across Europe. To help make future cross-border trips smoother, Parliament has adopted new rules to improve railway capacity coordination.
Infographic titled "Rail passenger journeys per capita in 2024" displaying European countries as illustrated train icons arranged in descending order by annual rail journeys per person. Luxembourg leads with 46.2 journeys per capita, followed by Austria (35.6), Denmark (35.2), Germany (35.1), Hungary (31.9), Sweden (23.9), the Netherlands (20.9), Portugal (20.5), France (19.2), Czechia (17.5), the EU average (16.8), Finland (15.0), Italy (14.3), Spain (14.2), Slovakia (13.3), Poland (10.9), Latvia (10.4), Ireland (9.4), Slovenia (7.4), Croatia (6.4), Estonia (5.8), Romania (3.7), Bulgaria (3.3), Lithuania (1.8), and Greece (1.4). A note at the bottom states that Belgium's data are confidential and Cyprus and Malta have no railways. The European Parliament logo appears in the bottom-right corner. Source: Eurostat (2024).

Landed! 🇪🇺✈️ The new agreement on air passenger rights has just been voted by an overwhelming majority in @Europarl_EN. This brings greater certainty to the aviation sector, stronger passenger rights, and easier travel across Europe. Proud of the work done by all MEPs, especially Rapporteur @AndreyNovakov and @EP_Transport Vice-Chair @VSinkevicius, whose determination and commitment made this result possible. – at Strasbourg, France

Done and delivered 🇪🇺🇺🇸 @Europarl_EN has just approved the EU–US trade deal. We promised certainty, clarity and predictability for businesses, workers, consumers and investors on both sides of the Atlantic. And today we have done just that. This is more than a trade deal. It is an investment in the future of the EU–US partnership and our continued strong transatlantic bond. Thank you to @BerndLange for leading the @Europarl_EN team throughout this process.
