Open Day - Europe Day, 4 May 2024 - European Parliament in Brussels
Today, the 🇪🇺 Parliament votes on new rules that promote consumers’ right to repair. As leading negotiators, we have shown our commitment to extending consumers’ rights whilst protecting the environment. 👏👏 @repasi ‘Right to repair’: S&Ds extend consumers’ rights…

@IratxeGarper @profMarekBelka @negrescuvictor @a_jongerius @woelken Let us face the future with confidence and ambition! We are not here to avoid our decline. We are here to lead the European Union into a new era of global progress. We'll keep on fighting for a better EU, because it is the best thing to happen to our lives. @IratxeGarper
@IratxeGarper @profMarekBelka @negrescuvictor @a_jongerius @woelken Today, the fear and the hatred instilled by the far-right have infiltrated the EPP in many govts, and in the 🇪🇺Parliament, says @IratxeGarper. We cannot fall into complacency or inaction. There are too many people living in poverty, out of work, without a decent wage or home.
@IratxeGarper @profMarekBelka @negrescuvictor @a_jongerius @woelken As our parliamentary mandate comes to an end, we look back at we've accomplished together in the face of unprecedented challenges, like the pandemic, climate change and the war in Ukraine. Citizens will now have to decide with their votes on the Europe they want - @IratxeGarper

Plot twist: they are, but the packaging lobby tried to convince us bananas needed an extra layer. We fought back against their unsustainable opposition, and secured a majority in the European Parliament and in the EU Council to support a crucial reform on packaging waste. Packaging waste in the…
Europeans don’t want products made in sweatshops or by forced labour in our shops. For a long time companies have freely sold goods on the European market with hugely unethical supply chains around the world. But this mandate, we’ve had two huge wins - the Due Diligence Directive and the Forced…
Do you remember your first time? 🗳 For 21 million young Europeans, the upcoming EU elections on 6-9 June will be their very first democratic ballot. Just like that first beer, or first kiss, casting your first vote is not a mere thing. It’s a milestone moment in the life of any citizen who…
Finally! After a decade of calls and efforts, next week, the European Parliament will vote on the EU’s first-ever law to combat violence against women. It’s the first time that the European Union will have the legal tools to combat gender-based cyber violence, like cyberstalking and cyber-flashing…
What about you? What do you care most about? This 6-9 June, don’t let others decide what’s important for you. The European election is your chance to help shape the future of the European Union. It’s your vote. Use it! #Useyourvote
