Bring health and safety rules into the 21st century to better protect European workers, S&Ds demand from EU Commission

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

Today, the European Parliament will debate and vote the Vind report on health and safety at work. The Socialists and Democrats have been spearheading ‘vision zero’ to ensure that no more workers die from work-related illnesses, including cancer, accidents and psychosocial risks. As working from home has become daily life for millions of Europeans, the EU must up-date its health and safety rules to take into account new risks for health and mental well-being.

S&Ds welcome the European Commission’s plan for greater independence from Russian gas and more energy security

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

The S&Ds welcomed the European Commission’s idea to propose an obligation for all EU member states to have all gas reserves 90% full on 1 October of each year. According to the S&D Group, who has long been calling for such a measure, this would be crucial to avoid price volatility every heating season. The Socialists and Democrats also called on the Commission to elaborate a plan to get rid of Russian fossil fuel supplies and make sure the necessary infrastructure for alternative sources is in place throughout the EU.

Hydrogen Accelerator must replace, repurpose and reinvest

Now is the moment for the EU to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen technologies by replacing, repurposing, and reinvesting.

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

The Socialists and Democrats welcome the European Commission’s proposed Directive to combat violence against women and domestic violence, presented today on International Women’s Day.

Although the S&Ds would have preferred a more comprehensive law, covering all forms of gender-based violence and implementing the standards of the Istanbul Convention, they consider today’s proposal a big step towards eradicating violence against women, a key S&D demand for over a decade now.

Wealthy Russians linked to Putin must be stripped of all rights bought through investment schemes
