The Socialists and Democrats regret the decision taken by the European Parliament’s committee on budgets allowing the acquisition by the EP of a new building in Strasbourg. According to them, the newly built Osmose building is not fit for purpose. The Socialists and Democrats are convinced the Osmose building undoubtedly has hidden costs, which were not properly presented by the French authorities. These costs were not seriously taken into consideration by the other political groups who lobbied in favour of the project and voted today in its favour.

Today, the European Parliament has finally taken a strong stance in support of an EU Search and Rescue Mission, after years of the S&D Group pushing for a sustainable, reliable and permanent approach to search and rescue operations.

Today, thanks to the relentless efforts of the S&D Group, the European Parliament has pushed back against the boycott of the European People’s Party (EPP) by adopting its position on the Nature Restoration Law. This law stands as a critical component of the Green Deal, as well as of our commitment to fulfilling international obligations outlined in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

This evening, the S&D Group brought decisive support to build a majority in the EP’s committee on industry, research and energy for the approval of the deal on the Act in Support of Ammunition Production (ASAP). The Ammunition Act was agreed last week among the Member States, the European Parliament and European Commission.
