European media freedom act
On 15 December 2023, the co-legislators reached a provisional agreement on a regulation establishing a common framework for media services in the internal market (European Media Freedom Act). The Committee on Culture and Education has endorsed the text which is now due to be voted in plenary in March. The EMFA is a historic step, as it will set the first EU-level rules on media freedom, pluralism and the protection of journalists.
European media freedom act
An independent media is a pillar of democracy and an important part of the economy, helping to shape public opinion and hold those in power to account. In recent years, however, there have been increasingly worrying trends across the European Union (EU), as documented in the annual rule of law reports by the European Commission, and by other tools such as the Media Pluralism Monitor. Tabled on 16 September 2022, the proposed European media freedom act (EMFA) would introduce a new set of rules to ...
Establishing an EU talent Pool
The problem definition and problem drivers in the impact assessment (IA) appear to be well-supported by evidence. The IA provides a well-structured analysis of the existing situation and the likelihood for the problem to persist. The IA identifies the initiative's general and specific objectives, which appear to be specific, achievable, relevant and time-bound, but not measurable, as recommended by the Better Regulation Toolbox 'S.M.A.R.T.' criteria. The IA does not define more detailed operational ...
Šport
Pristojnosti Evropske unije na področju športa so razmeroma nove, saj so bile pridobljene šele z začetkom veljavnosti Lizbonske pogodbe decembra 2009. EU je pristojna za razvoj z dokazi podprte politike, pa tudi za spodbujanje sodelovanja in upravljanje pobud v podporo telesni dejavnosti in športu po vsej Evropi. V okviru programa Erasmus+ je bila v obdobju 2014–2020 prvič na voljo posebna proračunska vrstica, iz katere se zagotavlja podpora projektom in mrežam na področju športa.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day: The fragility of freedom
'Auschwitz didn't appear from nowhere', remarked Marian Turski, Holocaust survivor and child prisoner in the Auschwitz death camp, in January 2020 at the solemn ceremony on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The former Auschwitz prisoner described the path from tiny hardships in everyday life and growing discrimination and persecution laws, to the genocide of Jews, the Holocaust. The consecutive stages of shrinking freedom can be summarised as 10 stages of genocide, in a process that could ...
Kultura
Dejavnosti Evropske unije na področju kulture dopolnjujejo kulturne politike držav članic na različnih področjih, med katere sodijo ohranjanje evropske kulturne dediščine, sodelovanje kulturnih ustanov različnih držav in spodbujanje mobilnosti ustvarjalcev na področju kulture. Na ta sektor vplivajo tudi določbe Pogodb, ki se ne nanašajo izrecno na kulturo.
Avdiovizualna in medijska politika
Avdiovizualna politika v EU je urejena s členoma 167 in 173 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (PDEU). Glavni zakonodajni dokument na tem področju je Direktiva o avdiovizualnih medijskih storitvah, ki je bila leta 2018 pregledana. Glavni instrument EU za pomoč temu sektorju, zlasti filmu, je sklop MEDIA v okviru programa Ustvarjalna Evropa. Listina o temeljnih pravicah Evropske unije določa, da se spoštujeta svoboda in pluralnost medijev.

Analysis of the European Disability Card The Proposed Directive: Shortcomings, Strengths and Opportunities
This study provides an in-depth analysis of the Proposal for a Directive establishing the European Disability Card and the European Parking Card for persons with disabilities, and outlines recommendations.
