Podcasts about Eurobarometer

Things may look bleak for the European Union in the depths of winter, with challenges across the board: the threat of a trade war with the US, weakened political figures in Germany and France, European farmers menacing protests about the Mercosur deal, an uncertain outcome for the conflict in Ukraine, plus budgets being tightened for households and governments across the bloc. But despite or perhaps because of those threats, Europeans' sentiment is on the up: 51 percent of Europeans tend to trust the EU, the highest level since 2007; while 44 percent have a positive image of the bloc, a figure that's stayed more or less constant since 2010. Those figures are according to a recent Eurobarometer poll.

20 per cent of Irish people believe women make up or exaggerate sexual assault claims. While 13 per cent believe a woman who is assaulted while affected by alcohol or drugs is partially to blame. That's according to a new survey by Eurobarometer and we discussed these findings with Rachel Morrogh, Executive of Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

Another edition of our EU election series, on individual countries and regions in the EU: The Republic of Ireland is considered to be one of the most pro-EU member states, and the Eurobarometer poll that came out this spring bears that out: 67 percent of respondents said that the EU conjures up a positive image. But being pro-European does not necessarily mean supporting the traditional pro-EU parties in Ireland. Indeed, this election campaign has seen increased support for independent candidates. Is that trend related to the big social challenges that Ireland is facing - housing, and the cost of living?

With slightly more than a month to go till the European parliamentary elections, surveyors from our polling partner Europe Elects, are focusing on the performance of the political groups, the seats they may get in the parliament, and what are the main concerns of EU citizens.With anticipation of a higher voter turnout than in previous years, according to the last Eurobarometer before the elections,  EU citizens appear more aware and engaged than ever with EU affairs.To get a better understanding of the new data from our polling partner, Europe Elects, with us is Max Griera, Euractiv's network journalist.

In today's episode, two boats with migrants have been sent to Lebanon after they were in distress at sea on Wednesday trying to reach Cyprus. Amnesty sounded the alarm over reports of coastguard pushbacks while children were sick on board. Meanwhile, over 400 secondary school students were referred for drug treatment programmes over the past three years, MPs heard during a House education committee. Elsewhere, immigration and the economy are the biggest worries for around 40 per cent of Cypriots going into the EU elections while climate action, gender equality and diversity, and digitisation of the economy are bottom of the list of 13 potential concerns, the latest Eurobarometer revealed. All this and more in the Cyprus Beat briefing brought to you by the Cyprus Mail.

European elections represent a crucial moment: they give EU citizens a say in the political direction of the European Union. After declining ever since the first European direct elections in 1979, electoral turn out increased in the 2019 elections to reach 50.6 % largely due to youth participation (according to a post-election Eurobarometer survey). Echoing the 2019 motto 'This time I'm voting', the 2024 one might be: 'I did it again!' The 2024 European elections could be a turning point for youth engagement for several reasons. - Original publication on the EP Think Tank website - Subscription to our RSS feed in case your have your own RSS reader - Podcast available on Deezer, iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, YouTube Source: © European Union - EP

2024 ist es 20 Jahre her, dass Tschechien der Europäischen Union beigetreten ist. Dennoch sind die Tschechinnen und Tschechen zurückhaltend hinsichtlich der EU-Politik. Nur 28 Prozent aller Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner interessieren sich laut einer Studie von Eurobarometer für die bevorstehenden Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament. Damit ist Tschechien unter den Mitgliedsstaaten Schlusslicht. Warum identifizieren sich die Menschen hierzulande nicht mit der Europäischen Union? Weshalb denkt ein großer Teil der Bevölkerung, Tschechien sollte eine „zweite Schweiz“ werden? Warum wird in den tschechischen Medien in Zusammenhang mit der EU mitunter der Begriff „Diktat aus Brüssel“ benutzt? Und wie haben sich die Ansichten zur EU seit 2004 verändert? Antworten auf diese Fragen suchen wir mit dem Politikwissenschaftler Jiří Pehe, der Analytikerin Helena Truchlá, dem Sozialwissenschaftler Martin Buchtík, der Leiterin der Vertretung der Europäischen Kommission in Tschechien Monika Landmanová und mit Alexandr Vondra, der für die Bürgerdemokraten im Europaparlament sitzt.

A Clare developer has warned building costs will spiral if the tradesman shortage continues. It comes as a report by Eurobarometer has found that 60% of construction companies are having difficulties recruiting tradespeople and machine operators. Last year, the Department of Trade, Enterprise and Employment issued nearly 1,500 employment permits for roles in the construction sector and there have been almost 1,000 work permits issued in the first nine months of 2023. Ciarán Breen of Ciarán Breen Construction in Ennis says smaller projects will suffer as they won't be cost affective for contractors to take on.

The democratic information sphere is facing unprecedented strategic and systemic threats. The 'infosphere' - the online public space for debate where people not only express, but also inform themselves to make democratic decisions - is being eroded by foreign and domestic anti-democratic forces with a (geo-) strategic agenda. According to a flash Eurobarometer survey published in July 2022, 28% of respondents said they had been exposed to disinformation and 'fake news' very often or often in their recent past. - Original publication on the EP Think Tank website - Subscription to our RSS feed in case your have your own RSS reader - Podcast available on Deezer, iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, YouTube Source: © European Union - EP

Secondo il report Esma su costi e performance gli investitori privati pagano commissioni più elevate del 40% rispetto agli istituzionali, mentre il sondaggio Eurobarometer 2023 ci informa che il 45% dei cittadini europei non è convinto che i consigli ricevuti da parte degli intermediari finanziari siano pienamente nei loro interessi. Non dovrebbe quindi sorprenderci che solo il 17% dei patrimoni delle famiglie europee sia impiegata in attività finanziarie (Fonte Eurostat), una quota molto inferiore agli Stati Uniti per i quali il dato non ci viene fornito per carità di patria. Mentre la Commissione Europea cerca di correre ai ripari con la Retail Investment Strategy questo podcast continua a ripetere che grazie alla tecnologia e alla concorrenza degli operatori finanziari più innovativi i risparmiatori bene informati possono ottenere condizioni molto migliori rispetto alla media.La Finanza in Soldoni è un progetto multicanale che include Podcast Newsletter playlist sul canale Youtube di Massimo Famularo un libro disponibile nelle principali Librerie e Bookstore on lineSuggerisco anche la lettura delle "Storie di Tutti i colori più uno"Il mio Blog è MassimoFamularo.com

Less than half of Slovaks consider membership of the European Union to be a good thing. And what is the current financial situation of the Slovaks at a time of high energy prices? We will look at the results of the latest Eurobarometer survey. January's Stop the Waste campaign focuses on current trends in sustainable fashion. The authors of the appeal are specialists in environmental education and education from the Slovak Environmental Agency (SAŽP). How to take care of our wardrobes and why should we support slow fashion and local designers? Find out in today's show.

In today's episode, a crucial meeting between trade unions and employers' organisations has ended in deadlock over reinstating the cost of living allowance (CoLA), with the labour minister – acting as mediator –scrambling find the sweet spot by early next week amid the threat of widespread strikes. Meanwhile, doctors and nurses at state hospitals have decided to go on a two-hour work stoppage next week, in a bid to exert pressure for having certain collective agreements renewed. In a joint statement, the unions said they were taking the action because the state health services organisation had not kept up its obligations in drawing up a new collective agreement for staff. Elsewhere, the rising cost of living, poverty and migration are the biggest concerns among citizens in Cyprus, according to the latest Eurobarometer survey. All this and more in the Cyprus Beat briefing brought to you by the Cyprus Mail.

Dansker indtager en førsteplads. Denne gang dog ikke i ungdomsdruk, men i tilfredshed. Hvad er vi tilfredse over, kunne man med rette spørge. Jo, der er sikker mange ting, men Eurobarometer viser, at danskerne hører til de mest positive for EU's støtte til Ukraine. Hele 92 procent af danskerne er tilfredse og synes godt om, at EU støtter Ukraine. På EU-plan er det 74 procent. Men også det tal er højt, og det får parlamentets formand, Roberta Metsola til at udtale, at hun er meget glad for den tydelige opbakning EU's borgere yder.

In Europe's Beating Cancer Plan, the Commission announced a revision of the 2014 Tobacco products directive which also includes provisions for restricting the advertising and promotion of electronic cigarettes and refill containers. However, around four in ten (39%) respondents in a Eurobarometer published in February 2021 said they have seen advertisements or promotions for e-cigarettes, liquids or refill cartridges. In particular, those aged 15 to 17 were more likely to be exposed to online promotion in social networks or blogs (60% compared to 33% of those aged 18-24), but less likely to mention sales points (19% compared with 40%). In a recent interview, Italian MEP Alessandra Moretti told EURACTIV it has been “amply demonstrated” that new tobacco products can act as a gateway for a new generation of smokers, and that “the US Food and Drugs Administration has officially declared the dramatic spread of these devices among the young and very young to be an ‘epidemic'”. “Unfortunately, they are the means of hooking the new generations into nicotine addiction, since the old cigarette is no longer attractive to young people,” she said adding that this worrying attractiveness for young people and non-smokers needs an update of both European and Italian legislation. In its report on the application of the directive, the Commission underlined that the application of the advertising restriction “continues to be challenging, especially in information society services and on social media where young people are particularly exposed/targeted'. Protecting minors from vaping was one of the priorities included in the latest version of a responsible marketing code for the electronic cigarette presented by the industry association Independent European Vape Alliance (IEVA) in October. The Code was established by IEVA and other national associations. “Youth protection is the main objective of this code,” IEVA's president, Dustin Dahlmann, explained in a webinar to present the code. In other words, advertising should never be aimed at minors. “E-cigarette marketing is focused exclusively on adult smokers, no child or teenager should ever use an electronic cigarette,” Dahlmann stressed. Protecting youth While at the moment the number of minors smoking electronic cigarettes is quite low, in recent months, international studies have shown the rise of vaping among young people, webinar participants warned. Dahlmann stressed a certain tendency to ‘talk' in the media about electronic cigarettes without alerting to the fact that young teenagers smoke them, and that this

In today's episode, 94 per cent believe corruption in Cyprus is widespread, with political parties and the health care system seen as particularly vulnerable to abusing their power, according to a Eurobarometer survey published yesterday. Elsewhere, the health minister and epidemiologists decided not to impose tighter measures despite the increase in Covid-19 cases and hospitalisations. In other news, temperatures will hit 40C inland today, the met office said as it issued a yellow alert – the second in as many days – for extreme hot weather. All this and more in the Cyprus Beat briefing brought to you by the Cyprus Mail.

“Čo mne vadí je, že sa nepoučíme z vlastných chýb. Že sme videli, že veci v minulosti nefungovali, ale nepoučíme sa. Dopredu vidí málokto, tomu rozumiem. Ale, že sa spätne nevieme poučiť, to je troška škoda. Dnes nevieme, koľko ľudí máme hospitalizovaných v nemocnici. Neviem povedať, či nám klesá alebo stúpa počet hospitalizácií. Pri vrchole vlny je to dosť dôležitá vec. Nie je mi celkom jasné, ako to funguje, nám sa zmenili pred týždňom počty hospitalizácií o 400 až 500 ľudí. Neviem presne, ako sa v tom vyznať, a toto je jedna z vecí, ktorá mi veľmi vadí, lebo vieme, že to je dôležité a že sme na tom mali pracovať,” hovorí matematik Richard Kollár o omikronovej vlne, na ktorej vrchole zrejme práve sme, no presne to nevieme. “Bojím sa, že momentálne by sme mali nasledovať ostatné krajiny - aj tie lepšie aj tie horšie. Leto vyzerá zatiaľ veľmi dobre, ale spomeňme si na omikron. V novembri sme o ňom nevedeli a teraz je z neho najväčšia vlna, akú sme mali. Krajiny uvoľňujú čo najrýchlejšie, mali by sme ich nasledovať hneď, ako tá vlna odznie,” dodáva matematik Kollár. “Eurobarometer ukazuje, z čoho najviac ľudia v únii čerpajú informácie. Nič z tohto nevysvetľovalo očkovanie alebo neočkovanie v krajinách. Až kým sa nepozrieme na faktor, koľko ľudí verí svojim priateľom. Tam sa ukazuje, že čím viac ľudí dôveruje svojmu okoliu, bez ohľadu na to, či sú odborní alebo neodborní, tým menej sa očkujú. S každým percentom, o ktoré ľudia podľa prieskumu veria svojej susede viac ako vedcom, stúpa počet ľudí, ktorí sa nechcú očkovať,” hovorí Richard Kollár o vysvetlení, prečo niektoré štáty v únii majú oveľa horšie percento zaočkovanosti ako iné. Ako bude vyzerať leto? Kedy sa zaočkovať, keď už odznie vlna omikronu? Má ešte zmysel posielať celé triedy do karantény? A ako vníma hejt voči vedcom?

Die neue Folge fängt mit ein bisschen Medienkritik an. Danach geht es um die Unterhaltungsindustrie im Weltraum und wir enden bei Galaxienkillern! Ruth erzählt, wie man eine Galaxie umbringen kann und wo man dabei zusehen kann, wo so etwas im Universum gerade passiert. In “Neues aus der Sternwarte” erzählt Evi von ihrer Arbeit zur Wissenschaftskommunikation und wir plaudern ein wenig über die komplizierte Beziehung zwischen Österreich und der Wissenschaft. Fragen beantworten wir auch: Diesmal unter anderem über Planetenentstehung, müdes Licht und explodierende Sterne.

The tiny island of Malta is an overachiever in curbing the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Politico. Before the end of August, the Maltese government announced that 90% of the population over 12 years of age is fully vaccinated. This meant that the first phase of the vaccination programme was largely complete before rolling out boosters to vulnerable populations from mid-September. But it's not enough to say that vaccinating the population was easy because Malta is so small. Data from Eurobarometer surveys and the WHO show that vaccine hesitancy was not that uncommon before the pandemic. In the Eurobarometer survey, over a third said they believed in the conspiracy that viruses were produced in government labs in order to control the population - that's above the EU average. So how did Malta manage such a successful vaccination campaign? To find out, Daiva talked to public health and infodemic expert Prof. Neville Calleja and the vaccination programme's coordinator Steve Agius. In this episode, Eva and Daiva discuss what they learned. Our reporting is supported by IJ4EU and Alfred Toepfer Stiftung.

Quellenhinweisen und Links) findet ihr hier:https://apolut.net/die-demokratie-verraeter-von-ullrich-mies-und-annette-van-gesselMit seinem neuen Buch „Zombie-Journalismus“ liefert Marcus Klöckner die ultimative und bis dato hemmungsloseste Abrechnung mit dem Mainstream-Journalismus.Hinweis zum Beitrag: Der vorliegende Text erschien zuerst im „Rubikon – Magazin für die kritische Masse“, in dessen Beirat unter anderem Daniele Ganser und Hans-Joachim Maaz aktiv sind. Da die Veröffentlichung unter freier Lizenz (Creative Commons) erfolgte, übernimmt KenFM diesen Text in der Zweitverwertung und weist explizit darauf hin, dass auch der Rubikon auf Spenden angewiesen ist und Unterstützung braucht. Wir brauchen viele alternative Medien!Ein Standpunkt von Ullrich Mies und Annette van Gessel.Die Berichterstattung über COVID-19 ist die vorläufige Spitze einer bösartigen, tendenziösen, selektiven Arbeit der Mainstream-Medien. Viele Bürgerinnen und Bürger haben dies längst erkannt. Bereits 2015 gab die Hälfte der Befragten im sogenannten Eurobarometer, einer regelmäßigen Befragung im Auftrag der Europäischen Kommission, an, sie misstrauten der Presse. Das Thema „Vertrauensverlust der Medien“ griffen in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Autoren auf, beispielsweise Jens Wernicke unter dem Titel „Lügen die Medien?“, Michael Meyen in „Die Propaganda-Matrix“, Uwe Krüger in „Warum wir den Medien nicht mehr trauen“, Ulrich Teusch in „Lückenpresse“, Ullrich Mies in „Mega-Manipulation“, um nur einige zu nennen. Bei der Vielzahl der im Handel befindlichen Bücher zu Medien drängen sich einige Fragen auf: Warum bringt Rubikon am 24. August 2021 ein weiteres Buch zu diesem Thema auf den Markt? Und trifft das Buch „Zombie-Journalismus: Was kommt nach dem Tod der Meinungsfreiheit?“ von Marcus Klöckner dennoch auf eine interessierte Leserschaft? Ja, das wird es. Weil Klöckner die Thematik aus einem anderen Blickwinkel angeht und zudem einen satirischen Stil wählt, sodass seine Kritik oftmals mitten ins Schwarze trifft. Die Satire als Stilmittel ermöglicht eben eine ganz andere Wortwahl. Die darf dann auch einmal etwas drastischer ausfallen.Viele Leserinnen und Leser haben sich daran gewöhnt, zwischen den Zeilen zu lesen und regierungsfreundliche Berichterstattung zu enttarnen. Aber wer hätte erwartet, dass Journalisten aktuell nicht davor zurückschrecken, den Sinn bekannter Begriffe in ihr Gegenteil zu verkehren: „Gefangensein ist Freiheit. Überwachung ist Befreiung. Angst ist Glück“, so Klöckner. Bei einem solchen Niveau der Mainstream-Medien kann man ihre „Schreiberlinge“ nur noch als „Zombie-Journalisten“ bezeichnen.Und sollte ein Mediennutzer es wagen, die Wahrheiten der Redaktions-„Weisen“ in Frage zu stellen, dem rufen sie, so Klöckner, entgegen: „Die Realität ist: Leser, wir treten dir in den Arsch, wie es uns beliebt.“ Klöckner entlarvt die Journalisten als politische Agitatoren. Sie verkaufen ihrer Zuhörer- und Leserschaft ihr eigenes Weltbild als Krönung eines objektiven Journalismus. Vor allen Dingen sind sie dann nicht zimperlich, wenn sie Gegenwind bekommen. Dann langen sie richtig zu. Wir alle kennen bestens ihr Repertoire. Es reicht von Verschwörungstheoretiker, über Aluhutträger bis hin zum Antisemiten und Nazi. Da fragt Klöckner zu Recht: „Geht‘s noch?“Gerade in der Corona-Krise, seit etwa März 2020, wird einer kritischen Leserschaft eines immer deutlicher:Die Medien erweisen sich als Totalversager. Seit „Corona“ haben die Zombie-Journalisten systematisch die Angstpropaganda der Regierung mitgetragen und kräftig gegen die Gegner dieser Entwicklungen gehetzt.Diesen Totalausfall der Medien und Journalisten in der sogenannten Corona-Pandemie nimmt Klöckner zum Anlass, sich selbige „zur Brust“ zu nehmen. Nach seinem Buch „Sabotierte Wirklichkeit. Oder: Wenn Journalismus zur Glaubenslehre wird“ aus dem Jahr 2019 zerlegt Klöckner in seinem neuen Buch die gesamte Medienbranche und ihre journalistischen Zombies. Er präsentiert sie uns als bösartige Propaganda-Maschinerie wider Anstand und Fairness, bar jeder journalistischen Profession.In 24 Kapiteln weist Klöckner unter anderem nach, wie die „Zombies“ den Journalisten-Beruf schamlos für Regime-Agenden instrumentalisieren, wie sie die Lockdowns als „Freiheit für alle“ ausgeben, wie sie sich als denunziatorische „Fertigmacher“ derjenigen betätigen, die nicht „alles dicht machen“ wollen, wie sie penetrant und unverschämt all jene mit braunem Dreck bewerfen, deren Meinungen sie nicht ertragen können, und wie sie Grundrechte vom Wohlverhalten abhängig machen wollen.Zwar kämen Medien ihrer Aufgabe nach, ihre Leser oder Zuhörer über den permanenten Maßnahmenterror der Regierung zu informieren, gleichwohl ließen sie jede Anstrengung vermissen, sich mit diesen „Anordnungen“ kritisch auseinanderzusetzen. Klöckner schreibt:„Etwas weiter gedacht haben sich Medien allerdings zu einem verlängerten Arm, ja: zu einem Sprachrohr der Politik gemacht. Sie haben vom ersten Moment an politische Entscheidungen nicht nur mitgetragen, sie haben durch ihre wirklichkeitserzeugende Macht gewirkt wie ein Pseudo-Realitätsverstärker.“Ihre Hauptkompetenz liege darin, im Schulterschluss mit der Regierung Angst zu schüren. Alle Radio- und Fernsehsender, Zeitungen und Magazine seien Teil dieser gut geölten Desinformationsmaschinerie. Indem sie jede kritische Analyse scheuen wie der Teufel das Weihwasser seien sie selbst zu einer grundlegenden Gefahr für die Demokratie geworden.Bereits im Rahmen der Ukraine-Krise sei ein Selbstbeweihräucherungsjournalismus entstanden, der gerne gelobt und geliebt werden wolle, aber keine Meinung zuließe, die der eigenen veröffentlichten widerspricht. Und so sei es auch nur folgerichtig gewesen, dass diese Sorte Journalisten immer dann die Diskussionsforen schließt, wenn sich dort Menschen mit vom Regierungsnarrativ abweichenden Meinungen äußerten und dann auch noch qualifiziert. Dann liefen die „Kreativabteilungen der Realitätsfabrikationsdienststellen“ zur Höchstform auf, „um ihre Sabotage am öffentlichen Diskurs zu rechtfertigen“.Zombie-Journalisten missbrauchten ihren Beruf dazu, selbst Politik zu betreiben, sie seien zu Propagandisten mutiert…weiterlesen hier: https://apolut.net/die-demokratie-verraeter-von-ullrich-mies-und-annette-van-gesselUnterstütze apolut:IBAN: DE40 8506 0000 1010 7380 26BIC: GENODEF1PR2Verwendungszweck: apolutKontoinhaber: apolut GmbHVolksbank Pirna eG_Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/apolutflattr: https://flattr.com/@apolutTipeee: https://de.tipeee.com/apolutInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/apolut_netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/apolutTwitter: https://twitter.com/apolut_netOdysee: https://odysee.com/@apolut:a See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Wie geht es den Menschen in Europa nach mehr als einem Jahr in der Corona-Pandemie? Wie zufrieden sind sie damit, wie die EU auf die Krise reagiert, und wie steht es um das Image der Europäischen Union ganz allgemein? Welche Themen sind für die Europäerinnen und Europäer besonders wichtig? Antworten auf diese Fragen hat das Europäische Parlament in seiner neuesten Eurobarometer-Umfrage gesucht und gefunden. Regelmäßig lässt das Parlament diese Umfragen in allen 27 EU- Staaten durchführen um herauszufinden, wie die Bürger*innen das Handeln der EU und es Parlaments im Speziellen wahrnehmen, was sie erwarten und welche wichtigen Herausforderungen sie für die Union sehen. Die aktuelle Ausgabe steht dabei ganz im Zeichen der Corona-Pandemie und ihrer Folgen. Über die Ergebnisse sprechen wir mit Philipp Schulmeister, Leiter des Referats für Meinungsforschung im Europäischen Parlament.

The results of the latest Eurobarometer survey released on the 3rd of June show that consequences of the coronavirus crisis are increasingly felt for citizens. Most Europeans expect the EU institutions to focus on issues such as public health, fighting poverty, and supporting the economy in the face of the crisis. In this interview, Philipp Schulmeister, Head of Public Opinion Monitoring Unit in the European Parliament looked closely at the results of the survey and explained its prominent role in shaping the EU's policy. The interview was conducted by Karolina Zbytniewska, the editor-in-chief of EURACTIV Poland.

This week we note that the Swedish Skeptics' article from last week concerning Thomas Erikson's nonsense personality book “Surrounded by Idiots” has gotten some attention from other skeptics, among other things Pontus was a guest on the last episode of the Skeptic Zone podcast to talk about it. In history this week we talk about Desmond Morris and his role in the Aquatic Ape hypothesis and then Pontus Pokes the Pope about the fact that the two living popes are at odds regarding celibacy and also that the charity money from Peter's Pence goes straight into the coffers of the Vatican. In the news this week: Contrary to what you may have heard, Finland does not plan to go to a four-day working week, in Russia 800 science papers have been retracted and the Eurobarometer shows that EU citizens are concerned about climate change. Andrew Wakefield will screen the new film Vaxxed II at a public venue in Notting Hill, the Goop Lab will feature the Dutch “Iceman” Wim Hof, an Italian court has against scientific consensus ruled that mobile phones cause brain tumours and John Cook is publishing a comic book about climate change denial. We hope Skeptics will help translate it! We end by handing a Really Wrong Award to the UK Home Office and the Ministry of Justice for believing in lie detectors. Enjoy!

Junker: The Good, The Bad and The FunInspired by Junker writing the Politico newsletter on his last day in office. He was being a bit retrospective so we thought it would be a good opportunity to fawn over/shit on himThe GoodJunker was elected with the Spitzenkandidaten - where he was the EPP's lead candidate. Which compared to Mr Goldman Sachs (Barroso) was an improvement. Also look at the shit load of infographics they produced to show how cool they were: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/sites/beta-political/files/key_figures_for_the_eu_2014-2019_en.pdf?utm_source=POLITICO.EU&utm_campaign=56ef0a5c3b-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_11_29_05_42&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_10959edeb5-56ef0a5c3b-190266981 Some of that is fine/accurate... but certainly not all. Let's focus on the actual good stuff: Media accessibility: Junker did seem to actually want to engage with the public and make the EU more accessible. Come up a lot in the "fun section" but he made a lot of public appearances where he really tried to sell the EU as a good thing. The Euronews livestream thing was actually very watchable and earnest He did a reasonable job of selling the EU... while there are a lot of factors including the B word, it's notable that anti-EU sentiment from far right parties has lessened. Partly because it's been semi-not terrible under Junker. Mild independence from the national level government seems to have done it favours (they quote that Eurobarometer shows trust in the EU is generally higher than for national govs with some notable exceptions - UK, France, Greece) The FunThat handwritten tweet video he did https://twitter.com/QuickTake/status/1185073056148000768?s=20 The time he yelled at Channel 4 The little black book of enemieshttps://www.politico.eu/article/jean-claude-juncker-keeps-little-black-book-of-enemies/ That time he called Orban a dictator That time he held Tsipras' hand while walking out of the room That other time he held Orban's hand while walking out of the room All the slapping he did That hair thing he did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSCarR0UjDQ The League of Arab States - EU summit where he took a phone call on stage, then made a "my wife" joke. The other time he did that when at a photoshoot with Robert Fico but then said it was his wife first, then that it was Merkel second. That time he stopped Sky News from having an interview with him at a summit by constantly interrupting them about how great Sky News is and that it's always on in his house. The BadIn January 2017, leaked diplomatic cables show Juncker, as Luxembourg's prime minister from 1995 until the end of 2013, blocked EU efforts to fight tax avoidance by multinational corporations. Luxembourg agreed to multinational businesses on an individualised deal basis, often at an effective rate of less than 1%Uphold Marxist-Leninist-Junckerist thoughtEuropean Forum Alpbach in Austria. During his speech, Juncker, a supporter of Angela Merkel's open door response to the European migrant crisis, made news by telling the audience that **"borders are the worst invention ever made by politicians"** Upon hearing the news of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's death in December 2016, Juncker said, **"With the death of Fidel Castro, the world has lost a man who was a hero for many."** On 4 May 2018, Juncker attended and spoke at an event commemorating Karl Marx's 200th birthday.The MediumJunker was, for the EU establishment, to the left on migration: Calling for legal ways to migrate regardless of reasonhttps://www.dw.com/en/jean-claude-juncker-migrants-need-legal-ways-to-come-to-europe/a-41556151?maca=en-Twitter-sharinghttps://www.politico.eu/article/jean-claude-juncker-migration-calls-for-migrants-to-have-legal-ways-to-reach-europe/ Shitting on the whole dog whistle "Protecting European way of life" title for the new commissionhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/juncker-eu-protecting-our-european-way-of-life-immigration-job-title-a9102786.html (correctly) Blaming "several German speakers" (Kurz) for the slow movement at reforming EU migration policy.https://www.politico.eu/article/migration-europe-austria-juncker-sebastian-kurz-spar/ On the other hand it's not like he moved quickly during the surges... and his ideas might be for a complicated "skills" system https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45492746 The FunFrom the politico newsletter: "As everyone is debating the security of 5G networks, I am happy to rely on my trusty Nokia (not quite a 3310 but almost) to protect me from prying ears. That said, I do distinctly remember hanging up the phone after a lengthy conversation with my dear friend Bill Clinton, only to receive a phone call from Jacques Chirac a few moments later. Without a moment of pretense, Jacques asked me: “But why did you say that like that to Clinton, Jean-Claude?” Thanks for listening in, mon ami. Turns out, it’s not always the U.S. listening in on your phone calls."The BadThese are ones he acknowledges: Accession: promises were made, a country changed its name and Macron changed his mind Cyprus and the relationship with Turkey in generalThe FunJunker is an alcoholic if you believe his detractors. and by detractors I mean the British press. People may remember that David Cameron was very against Junker. His loss was part of the long saga of complaining for reforms and special treatment. Didn't do him any good inside his party for that whole leaving referendum thing https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/27/david-cameron-loses-jean-claude-juncker-vote-eu Maybe Junker is just a fun guy who knows how to party, David? Ever consider that? Why else would he have an Honorary Doctorate of the Miami University? https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-eu-juncker-schaeuble-idUKKBN0F647320140701 .. but also maybe not, there was also the "sciatica" thing at the Nato summit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44812352The BadThat time he installed his chief of staff Martin Selmayer as secretary-general of the commission, an enormous promotion. It gave a lot of weight to conspiracy theories that implied he was really pulling the strings all along https://www.politico.eu/article/martin-selmayr-monster-of-the-berlaymont-or-committed-european/

Za spadnutou jedno alebo dvojcentovou euro mincou sa niektorí ani nezohnú. Aj to je jeden z dôvodov, prečo ich Národná banka Slovenska dávať vyrábať každoročne také veľké množstvo. Až 55 percent zo všetkých na Slovensku (NBS) vydaných mincí má hodnotu jeden alebo dve centy. Je s nimi taká oštara, že podľa najnovšieho prieskumu Eurobarometer je 74 percent Slovákov za ich zrušenie. NBS už vypočítala, ako by sa po zrušení týchto mincí zmenili ceny. Adam Valček bol výsledky vyzvedať od šéfa výskumu NBS Martina Šustera. Zákon o zaokrúhľovaní cien však musí pripraviť ministerstvo financií, to skôr vyčkáva na Európsku komisiu a odkazuje, že obchodníci môžu zaokrúhľovať aj dobrovoľne.

Background: Life satisfaction is a cognitive and evaluative judgement of one’s outlook on life and an integral component of subjective wellbeing. There is a strong association between life satisfaction and mental and physical health, but it is currently unclear how environmental factors may influence life satisfaction. Our aim was to investigate the association between environmental factors and life satisfaction and to gain a better understanding of general life satisfaction statistics in the EU. Methods: We used a three-level mixed effects logistic regression model to examine the effects of sociodemographic, macroeconomic and environmental factors on life satisfaction using a large sample size from Eurobarometer surveys (n = 268,696) representative of 27 EU countries. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews between May 2014 and June 2015. Results: We found wide variation between countries, as well as between regions within the same country with regards to levels of life satisfaction. Having adjusted for individual sociodemographic factors, our analysis did not indicate statistically significant associations of mean temperature and precipitation with life satisfaction. However, there was a statistically significant association between environmental degradation and lower life satisfaction (OR = 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97–1.00). Consistent with existing literature, our results show statistically significant effects of sociodemographic factors such as sex, financial situation and employment on life satisfaction. Conclusions: Future research should extend analyses to a wider range of sociodemographic, macroeconomic and geographical variables to gain insight on all possible factors affecting life satisfaction to inform policy makers and ensure higher quality of life, and in turn better mental and physical health.

Predstavljamo rezultate obsežne raziskave o tem, kakšno je mnenje Slovencev in Slovenk o Evropski uniji. Pravkar objavljeno Nacionalno poročilo Eurobarometer razkriva, da smo zadovoljni...

Through its industrial policy, the European Union (EU) has been striving to create conditions conducive to increasing industry growth and competitiveness since 1992. European industry remains a cornerstone of the economy, providing one job out of five and is responsible for the bulk of EU exports and investment in research and innovation. Today, the aim of EU policy is to enable a successful transformation towards a digital, knowledge-based, decarbonised and more circular industry in Europe. To reach this goal, the EU supports, coordinates or supplements Member State level policies and actions, mainly in the areas of research and innovation, SMEs and digital technologies. In a recent Eurobarometer poll conducted for the European Parliament, more than half of EU citizens expressed support for increased EU action on industrial policy. Despite this, it is still the least understood policy area covered in the poll. Since 2014, efforts have been made in a number of areas, including investment (mainly through the European Fund for Strategic Investment, which supports industrial modernisation); digitalisation (for example setting up a number of research partnerships, or a growing network of digital innovation hubs); financing (making it easier for industry and SMEs to access public markets and attract venture funds); greener industry (for example through the revised 2030 emission targets, or measures on clean mobility); standardisation (bringing together relevant stakeholders to collectively develop and update European standards); and skills (mobilising key stakeholders to close the skills gap and providing an adequate workforce for modern industry). The European Parliament has called for ambitious policies in many of these areas. In the future, EU spending on key areas relevant to industrial policy is expected to rise moderately. The European Commission proposes to boost the share of EU spending on research, SMEs and key infrastructure, although not as much as Parliament has requested. In the coming years, policies are likely to focus on fairer global competition, stimulating innovation, building digital capacities and increasing the sustainability of European industry.https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document.html?reference=EPRS_BRI(2018)630309 Source: © European Union - EP

Do you avoid the news, perhaps because you feel you cannot rely on the news to be true? A March 2018 Eurobarometer poll suggested there is great concern among internet users in Europe about fake news: 85 % of respondents see fake news as a problem in their country and 83 % perceive it as a problem for democracy.

Blížia sa voľby do Európskeho parlamentu a najnovší Eurobarometer naznačil, že záujem o ne je na Slovensku znova minimálny. V máji budúceho roka k urnám zatiaľ plánuje prísť len 14 percent Slovákov, čo je v únii predposledná priečka. Ako si vysvetliť, že aj štrnásť rokov po vstupe, po troch predchádzajúcich voľbách do EP, je na Slovensku stále minimálny záujem rozhodovať o tom, kto nás bude zastupovať v Európskom parlamente?

Since the early 1990s, immigration has been a more important source of population increase in the EU than the natural change due to births and deaths, while in recent years Europe is facing a large inflow of refugees. At the same time, Eurobarometer opinion surveys reveal that immigration tops the list of challenges that EU citizens are most concerned about and therefore effective policies toward immigration are more important now than ever. How serious are Europe’s immigration challenges? What are the best experiences in integrating immigrants? What hurdles complicate the financial inclusion of refugees? What’s the impact of immigration on European labour markets, the economy and public finances? How effective is Europe’s response to the large inflow of refugees and how to best address the challenges of immigration?
