Social climate fund

Lühitutvustus 01-06-2022

As part of the 'fit for 55' package, the Commission has proposed the creation of a social climate fund (SCF) to compensate vulnerable households, micro-businesses and transport users for some of the costs of the green transition. The fund would be financed primarily through the extension of the EU emissions trading system to cover the buildings and transport sectors. Members will debate the SCF during the June I 2022 plenary session.

Lennutransport: tsiviillennundusjulgestus

ELi teabelehed 01-07-2017

Lennundusjulgestuse (mitte segi ajada lennundusohutusega[1]) ülesanne on hoida ära kuritahtlikke tegusid õhusõiduki ning selle reisijate ja meeskonna vastu. 2001. aastal aset leidnud kohutavate rünnakute järel on EL võtnud tsiviillennunduse kaitseks vastu terve rea julgeolekueeskirju. Tekkivate riskide käsitlemiseks ajakohastatakse neid eeskirju regulaarselt. Liikmesriikidele on jäetud õigus kohaldada rangemaid meetmeid.

According to EU law, passengers have the right to a fixed level of compensation if their flight is cancelled or subject to a long delay. However, airlines can escape liability if they prove that 'extraordinary circumstances' caused the cancellation or delay. The Court of Justice of the EU has recently ruled that unexpected technical problems cannot count as 'extraordinary circumstances'.

After the Paris attacks of January 2015, the fight against terrorism and the phenomenon of foreign fighters is now higher than ever on the EU agenda, with a series of new measures being discussed, and existing ones refocused. In this context, the EU Passenger Name Record (PNR) proposal is once again in the spotlight. The current proposal dates back to 2011, but was rejected by the European Parliament's LIBE Committee in April 2013. However, given the new security context, and following numerous ...

Significant progress has been achieved during the last 20 years in creating a Single Market for Transports. European tourism is and will remain a vital component of the economy, with enormous economic potential. Both sectors suffer however from remaining barriers, gaps and market inefficiencies that create substantial costs and that could be addressed through further action at EU level. The gains that could be achieved from addressing the identified issues have been estimated at 8.6 billion euro ...

Updates to the EU rules on air passenger rights are currently under discussion. They are intended to clarify key principles and passenger rights that have given rise to disputes between airlines and travellers in the past.

In November 2007, the European Commission published a proposal on the use of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data for law enforcement purposes. This proposal is closely related to other instruments obliging air carriers to transmit passenger data to national authorities, including Directive 2004/82/EC and various agreements that were signed with third countries. The establishment of an ‘EU PNR system’ is presented as a tool in the fight against terrorism and organised crime, but will also be used to ...

Recent years have been marked by a growing demand of personal data for public security purposes. Access and protection of those data are climbing the transatlantic political agenda. They have raised tensions and fostered forms of cooperation. The possible conclusion of an international binding agreement on a common transatlantic framework on data protection would be a further and crucial step ahead. The scope of this study is to pave the way for launching a parliamentary debate on those issues. Therefore ...
