Following the end of tough negotiations this morning between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission without an agreement on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the Socialists and Democrats reiterate their commitment to fight for a sustainable CAP, which improves social rights, brings strong economic development to farmers and rural communities, and fights against climate change.

S&D coordinator in the agriculture committee, Paolo De Castro MEP, said:

• EU representatives and connectivity industry experts debated policy requirements to ensure every European has access to gigabit speeds and 5G services by 2030.

Analysis of 14 company’s annual integrated reports by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) reveals that while there are clear opportunities in integrated thinking to help define purpose and understand value creation, the proliferation of reporting frameworks, recommendations and standards is making the task of writing an engaging and meaningful report more difficult.

The EU has set a goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and decided to raise its 2030 climate target to 55%. For this, the EU needs to transform its energy system. It is of paramount importance that it will become more efficient, affordable and interconnected. Hydrogen can play a pivotal role in the EU’s decarbonisation efforts and be at the centre of the energy system integration, supporting transport of renewable energy over very long distances and facilitating renewables storage from one season to another.
