Trump's unilateral and reckless move to pull out of Iran nuclear deal requires a bold European answer

After a very regrettable and irresponsible decision made by President Trump to pull-out the US from the Iran Nuclear Deal, the S&Ds called during today’s debate in the European Parliament to do whatever possible to keep this deal in place and protect the European companies from American sanctions. As Trump puts transatlantic relations under additional strain, the EU must stand firm and united, and defend the respect for international norms.
 
Victor Boştinaru MEP, S&D vice president responsible for the foreign affairs, said:

Historic agreement! Welcome Northern Macedonia!

The S&D Group welcomes the agreement reached today by the Prime Ministers Tsipras and Zaev on the long lasting name issue. We expect that this will clear the way for the opening of accession talks with the Republic of North Macedonia at the 28-29 June EU summit and enable the relations between both neighbours to thrive.
 
S&D Group president Udo Bullmann said:
 

Conservatives must not only talk pro-European, they must act pro-European too, says Bullmann

On the occasion of the plenary debate on the preparation of the EU leaders' meeting later this month, the president of the Socialists and Democrats Udo Bullmann, said:
 

June EU Summit must deliver concrete steps towards deepening the Economic and Monetary Union, say S&Ds

The Socialists and Democrats called today on EU leaders to put forward a concrete and detailed plan to reform the eurozone, during a debate in the plenary session in Strasbourg.
 
S&D MEP Roberto Gualtieri, chair of the economic and monetary committee in the European Parliament, stated:
 

Historic meeting between Trump and Kim, but whether it goes beyond the photo-ops remains to be seen

Socialists and Democrats welcome the very first meeting between the leader of North Korea Kim Jong-un and the US President Donald Trump that took place today in Singapore. We have always said that dialogue and diplomacy are the best instruments to defuse tensions and we support the efforts for the complete denuclearisation of North Korea and the peace treaty for the Korean Peninsula. Yet, whether this historical meeting will succeed and go beyond the photo-ops remains to be seen.

EU Energy Efficiency Legislation Falls Short of Proper National Implementation New Cogeneration Study Reveals

Aircrafts and drones will fly safer in the future, says S&D MEP Gabriele Preuss

After almost two years of negotiations, the European Parliament today will vote on a new European Aviation Safety Agency Basic Regulation (EASA Regulation). S&Ds insisted on the need to improve workers’ rights in the sector and also to establish clearer rules for the flying of drones.
 
The Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament introduced amendments to fight exploitative employment models in low-cost airlines, where pilots and cabin crew are under pressure and thus could be limited in their authority to take safety relevant decisions.

Lorries and buses should also contribute to less emissions and better air quality, say S&Ds

The EU is committed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030, and road transport must make a relevant contribution to this target. This is why today the plenary in Strasbourg will vote on a report drafted by S&D MEP Damiano Zoffoli aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles.
 
A system to monitor and report on CO2 emissions from, and fuel consumption of, new heavy-duty vehicles will be introduced in the EU in order to allow for the implementation of the measures comprised in the Mobility Package.
