EU has done all it can on Brexit reassurances - question is now for the UK Parliament

Following the agreement on legally binding reassurances last night by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and UK Prime Minister Theresa May, S&D Group President Udo Bullmann, and spokesperson for Brexit Roberto Gualtieri said:

S&Ds condemn conservative give away towards the finance-industrial lobby

The S&D Group voted last night in the economic and monetary affairs committee against a narrow-gauged liberal-conservative proposal on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, while the Greens abstained as well as the EPP rapporteur. This regulation should establish the conditions and the framework to gradually create a unified classification system ('taxonomy') on what can be considered an environmentally sustainable economic activity in Europe.

Every day is Women’s Day for Socialists and Democrats!

The S&D Group is fighting every day of the year for progressive steps forward for women’s rights and gender equality. Today, on the International Women's Day, we will also speak out loudly on the streets for the direction we want to go: equal pay, equal rights on every level and no tolerance of violence. #All4Equality
 
Iratxe García-Pérez, S&D spokesperson on women's rights and gender equality, said:

We strike together!

On March 8 we will participate in all mobilizations, strikes and demonstrations.
On March 8 we will be on the European streets fighting against sexual discrimination in the workplace, which condemns women to precariousness and lower wages.
On March 8 in some countries, we will stop, in order to fight against male violence with laws and educational projects that are based on equality.

Breakthrough in Europe for sustainable investments

Under the new rules, financial industries will have to make transparent how they include environmental, social and governance risks and other factors in their decision making process for the first time. The report will also facilitate investments in sustainable projects across Europe.
