Today, Commissioner for the Internal Market Thierry Breton and 20 CEOs representing the European electrolyser manufacturing sector met in Brussels to pave the way towards achieving the objective of the REPowerEU communication of 10 mt of locally produced renewable hydrogen and 10 mt in imports by 2030.

S&Ds press for a European Mental Health Strategy to cope with a silent pandemic

An estimated billion people worldwide are suffering from a mental health disorder, of which an estimated 84 million are in Europe.

The ‘Dubai Uncovered’ revelations have exposed large scale money laundering and corruption through Dubai property that involves Russian oligarchs close to the Kremlin, and other persons convicted of crimes.

S&Ds: EU must support Moldova to cope with the consequences of Russian war against Ukraine

On the initiative of the Socialists and Democrats, the European Parliament today debated the best ways to support Moldova in the current challenging times. Since Russia invaded, more than 440,000 refugees from Ukraine crossed the border into Moldova, 100,000 of whom remain in the country. A huge effort for a country of just 2.7 million people. 

S&Ds: Ukrainian women fleeing the war must not fall into the hands of traffickers

Rape and sexual violence are being used as a ‘weapon of war’ by the Russian aggressor. Hundreds of Ukrainian women have been raped by Russian soldiers. Unfortunately, the risks for women of becoming the victims of violence does not end once they cross the border to seek refuge in the EU. Of the 5 million refugees, over 90% are women and children. Human trafficking is one of the greatest risks for them – even before the war, Ukrainians were the fifth most common victims of human trafficking to the EU.
