Europe's automotive industry is facing a growing crisis that could lead to the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs in the sector.
The EPP Group wants to ensure that driving remains affordable for everyone, not just for those who can afford expensive electric cars. To achieve this, Europe must be driven by economic realism and remain technologically neutral. If we do not, driving will become too costly for many Europeans, and we will lose countless jobs in the automotive industry to competitors like China.

Building Europe’s defence and support for Ukraine, stepping up border protection, a common European Health Union, help for farmers and stronger regional development are just some of the priorities EPP Group leaders set for the new five-year EU term during the July plenary of the European Parliament.
Despite a tough election campaign, the Group came out on top in the June European elections, which helped secure another term for both Parliament President Roberta Metsola and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

EPP Group Parliamentarians joined Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya in calling for more opposition support and more pressure on the Lukashenko regime.
In this podcast, we look at how the European Parliament event highlighted the plight of over 1,500 political prisoners in Belarus. These include Nobel Peace Laureate Ales Bialiatski and Tsikhanouskaya's husband, Sergei.

Figures on violence against women are shocking. Every day, two women are killed at the hands of a partner or family member in the EU, and sexual harassment affects one in two women.
In this episode of our "A Europe that Protects You" series, we delve deeper into the decisive steps the EU is taking to combat this pervasive issue.
We believe that criminalising gender-based violence everywhere in Europe, and to the same standards, is the first step towards this goal.
Hear from MEPs Frances Fitzgerald, Arba Kokalari, Elissavet Vozemberg, and Javier Zarzalejos, who spearheaded the EPP Group's efforts on this front, as they share valuable insights.
Additionally, activist Iliana Balabanova, President of the European Women's Lobby, sheds light on the current landscape across the EU. She also discusses the significance of recent milestones, including the EU's accession to the Istanbul Convention and the Directive on Combating Violence Against Women.

With the EU accounting for 14% of global trade in goods and around 38 million jobs in Europe depending on European exports, the importance of international trade cannot be overstated.
In this episode of the EPP Group podcast series ‘A Europe that Protects You,’ we look at global trade's impact on the EU regarding innovation, competitiveness and job opportunities. In this episode, however, we not only examine the effects of international trade on the EU, but also examine the EU's impact on international trade.
This is done through its smart trading agreements, which continue to set global benchmarks for environmental, social and health standards.

Over 70% of businesses in the EU lack staff with adequate digital skills, which hinders investment.
How can we fix the imbalance between unemployment, job vacancies and the skills needed to fill them? The first step towards bridging this gap is to offer further training programs for our workforce. Upskilling and lifelong learning are key parts of this transformation.
In this episode of the EPP Group podcast series “A Europe that Protects its People”, we discuss our vision of a Europe that works for everyone while ensuring EU competitiveness.
Hear more from our MEPs Axel Voss, Andreas Schwab, Dennis Radtke, Maria Walsh and Žiga Turk, Professor at the University of Ljubljana.

In addition, Dr Fatima Cardoso, Director of the Breast Cancer Unit at Champalimaud Clinical Center in Lisbon and member of the initiative Transforming Breast Cancer Together, sheds light on the needs of patients and carers.

How to combat organised crime in the EU?
Organised crime is a major threat to the internal security of the European Union and Europeans.
In 2019, criminal activities like drug trafficking, human smuggling and cybercrime cost the EU a staggering €139 billion. The EPP Group proposes a targeted strategy to 'follow the money' – freezing and confiscating criminal assets to hit organised crime where it hurts.
With over 5,000 organised crime groups operating in the EU, we want to equip Europol with sufficient resources to tackle terrorism, human trafficking and drug smuggling on the ground. The Agency should be given an extended operational role and become an operational 'Police Force' on the ground.
Every seized drug shipment and every disrupted criminal network brings us closer to a safer Europe.
With guests: Lena Düpont, Tomas Tobé, Vincze Loránt, Javier Zarzalejos and Europol Spokesperson, Jan Op Gen Oorth.
