In today's episode of Policy Voices, host Catarina Vila Nova sits down with Sirpa Rautio, the Director of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). In this wide ranging interview on the state of fundamental rights in the EU, they talk everything from migration and asylum, DEI, security and defence, competitiveness, justice and the rule of law. They spoke just a few days after FRA published a landmark position paper on the creation of “return hubs” in non-EU countries for migrants who have been ordered to leave the EU. Sirpa Rautio warns that, where the “EU is taking action, you cannot have rights-free zones”. “We cannot accept that people are abused or mistreated, deported or returned, without adequate legal safeguards and without knowing their rights”, she said. On the rule of law, FRA's Director still trusts the “fairly strong infrastructures and legal frameworks in place” in the EU. The same cannot be said about the efforts to make the bloc more competitive vis-à-vis the United States. Here, Sirpa Rautio warned against rolling back commitments already made.

Hello, and welcome to episode 132 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. Another relatively quiet week overall, and I can assure you that is not a complaint. On sanctions, licensing changes in the UK, in addition to further designations, the US targets third-countries aiding Russia in its military action in Ukraine, while the UN raises the issue of sanctions-related justice. On bribery and corruption, the National Anti-Corruption Commission will think again about the robodebt references made to it, while on fraud, the SFO has made changes to fraud reporting. This week's financial crime news ends with a round-up of cybercrime news, where the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation has announced major action against malware attackers.A transcript of this podcast is available at www.crimes.financial, with links to the stories.

Rasismi on yhteiskunnallisesti merkittävä ongelma, ja sen vaikutukset voivat olla erittäin haitallisia niin yksilöille kuin yhteisöillekin. Rasismi voi olla joko tahallista tai tahatonta, mutta kun tiedostamme sen olemassaolon, voimme vaikuttaa omaan toimintaamme.Jaksossa keskustellaan rasismista meissä ja rasismin vaikutuksista sitä kokeviin. Psykologi Nina Lyytisen asiantuntijavieraana on Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitoksen tutkimusprofessori ja Helsingin yliopiston psykologian dosentti Anu Castaneda.

It's Pride Month in Germany and we are discussing the new Self-Determination Act, or “Selbstbestimmungsgesetz,” which will soon make it easier for transgender, intersex and non-binary teens and adults to legally change their names and gender.The new act, which takes effect in part on Aug. 1 and in full, on Nov. 1, will replace a costly, red-tape-laden law that's been in effect for more than 40 years. It also amends a 2018 law that only allows intersex people to legally identify as a third, non-binary gender.Host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson delves into the pros and cons of the new act with Finn Ballard and Malkina Vargas in Berlin, Miltos Pavlou of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, and Lasst Uns Sprechen.Produced by Eden Brockman

Diese Woche heißt es, Vorhang auf für: Beate Winkler. Beate Winkler war Direktorin der EU-Menschenrechtsagentur - "European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights". Heute ist sie Künstlerin. Prägend für sie war die Flucht ihrer Familie aus der ehemaligen DDR nach Westdeutschland. Damals war sie acht Jahre alt: "Ich habe mein Kindheitsparadies verloren und war plötzlich in einer Welt, die ich als sehr abweisend und kalt empfunden habe. Aber diese Zeit hat mir auch etwas geschenkt: Ich weiß, dass ich mich sehr schnell in die unterschiedlichsten SItuationen einfühlen und an sie anpassen kann, ohne mich dabei selbst zu verlieren." Prägend war außerdem ihre Position als Direktorin der EU-Menschenrechtsagentur. Sie war die erste Frau an der Spitze einer EU-Institution. Und prägend war auch das Danach: "Als Direktorin hat man irgendwann ein Ablaufdatum. Da war ich plötzlich mit Leere konfrontiert." Beate Winkler hat aus dem Umbruch eine Tugend gemacht: "Ich mir selbst zugehört. Und mich gefragt, was willst du eigentlich noch leben?"  Heute verbindet sie "Menschenrechts-Bein" und "Kunst-Bein". Und hält sich an die Kunst der Möglichkeit: "Wir haben viel mehr Möglichkeiten, als wir denken!"

Director of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, Michael O'Flaherty, talks about how AI continues to play an increasingly influential role in our daily lives, and how it's crucial that we prioritize transparency in its development. With AI systems making decisions that impact individuals and communities, we need to ensure that the algorithms and decision-making processes are easily understandable and free from bias. Furthermore, transparency helps build trust and accountability, ensuring that AI systems are held to ethical standards and are not used for malicious purposes. The benefits of a transparent AI development process are clear – it encourages more responsible use of AI and ensures that the technology is developed in a way that benefits everyone. Let's strive for a more transparent AI future, where we can trust the technology to make the right decisions for us. Check out more at: https://bit.ly/3WWmZxc

Gast: Désirée Sandanasamy, Rechtsberaterin bei ZARA; Moderatorinnen: Hannah Huber und Anna-Maria Hirschhuber; Musik: Christoph Schabl „I can't breathe“: rassistische Polizeigewalt gibt es leider nicht nur in den USA, sondern auch in Österreich. Das zeigt unter anderem ein Bericht der European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights aus 2021. Laut diesem werden hierzulande Schwarze Menschen fast doppelt so oft von der Polizei angehalten wie die weiße Bevölkerung. Österreich ist traurigerweise EU-weiter Spitzenreiter, wenn es um rassistisch motivierte Anhaltungen und Untersuchungen bei Privatpersonen geht. Trotzdem will sich die Polizeigewerkschaft nicht eingestehen, dass auch die österreichische Polizei ein strukturelles Rassismusproblem hat. Was Betroffene oder Zeug*innen bei und nach Erfahrungen mit rassistisch motivierten Amtshandlungen tun können und wo noch viel Aufholbedarf besteht, erklärt die heutige Podcast-Gästin und Expertin Désirée Sandanasamy.

A new report shows how the authorities in Iran can track and control protestors phones. An investigation by The Intercept news organisation has found that mobile phone coverage is being switched from a healthy 5G or 4G network to slow and clunky 2G coverage when protestors gather. This means they no longer can communicate using encrypted messages or calls on their smartphones and instead have to rely up traditional phone calls or SMS messages which can be intercepted and understood easily. This, according to the report is being done by a web programme. One of reports authors Sam Biddle, a journalist specialising in the misuse of power in technology, is on the programme. Policing the metaverse Imagine being attacked in virtual reality – will the experience be as traumatic as in real life? Perhaps not yet but in the near future if we are living as least part of our live in the Metaverse, crime will also be part of the virtual life. But currently there is little if no protection if a crime committed against our virtual selves. Now Europol – the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation – has published a report into Policing the Metaverse. Journalist Emma Woollacott has been reading the report and she explains the many perils that we could face and also how we need to act now to manage these crimes in the Metaverse. Hollyplus -a digital twin AI that sings anything you want to (even if you can't!) Imagine being able to sing any song you like – and in any language you choose – even in musical styles that you have never studied? That's now possible thanks to artist, musician and composer Holly Herndon. She has trained a computer algorithm to sing like her – the cloned voice can sing in any language or style she chooses – even extending her own vocal range. The project is called Hollyplus and the digital twin has just released its version of Dolly Parton's song Jolene. The real Holly explains how she's done this. The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Bill Thompson. Studio Manager: Sue Maillot Producer: Ania Lichtarowicz (Image: Protest in Iran. Credit: Getty Images)

The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) has chosen the island of Ireland for the first time as the destination for its 34th Annual Conference, entitled ‘Neart Le Chéile: Strength Together' in the Convention Centre, Dublin, from June 26 to July 1, 2022. Over 1,000 people from six continents will participate, as the not-for-profit aims to deliver worldwide coordination and cooperation among computer security and incident response teams. From Tonga to Tanzania, Greece to Guatemala, Australia to America, the participants from nearly 80 countries are the leading lights in their field. Governments, academia, and businesses, all have a critical agenda as cyber security issues continue to rapidly increase worldwide, and global coordination is now vital to make the internet safe for everyone. Google's Maddie Stone delves into the unknown during the conference, focusing on 0-day exploits used in the wild. A security researcher on Google Project Zero, she will disclose crucial insights and learnings from previously detected 0-day attacks – which occur when a cyber attacker abuses a vulnerability that was totally unknown – to help delegates defend organisations and society in future incidents. The five-day event will explore various themes with contributors from industry and academia, from notable organisations such as the World Economic Forum, National Police Agency from Japan, Amnesty International, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity. Other notable discussions on the agenda include the preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Games, analysis of the SolarWinds supply chain compromise, and lessons learned from supporting national responses to COVID-19. Brian Honan, CEO, BH Consulting and FIRST Annual Conference Programme Chair, commented: “Dublin, and Ireland, is a perfect setting to host leading experts in this area with the cyber security sector on a significant growth trajectory on the island. The recent State of Cyber Security Sector in Ireland 2022 report states that by 2030 the industry will be worth €2.5 bn GVA – an increase of €1.4 bn from 2021 – employing over 17,000 people. “This conference is critical for the global community of incident responders and security teams. After two years of pandemic uncertainty, we can all come together in person once more to tackle cyber security issues in a united fashion to create a fix and ensure organisations can continue to operate with limited disruption. Our theme, ‘Neart Le Chéile: Strength Together', is exactly how we, as experts, will beat the criminals and keep people safe from cyber security attacks going forward.” Chris Gibson, CEO, FIRST added: “The conference program this year is both intuitive and timely, with our keynoters' covering topics across the full spectrum of computer security – from the practical to the emotional. “As a membership organisation, we work to ensure that our Annual Conference brings as much value as possible. Over the five days, our goal is to inspire and empower participants to take new thinking and tools back with them to their everyday roles as they continue to defend people across the globe against cyber-attacks.” Cyber specialists must work together to tackle online crime, as many instances do not occur in isolation, or just in one geographical area. FIRST provides a unique platform for everyone to unite and work towards a safer cyber community for all. At the FIRST Conference participants will share goals, ideas, and information on how to improve global computer security, with delegates learning the latest security strategies in incident management, increasing their knowledge and technical insight about security problems and solutions, and gaining insights into analysing network vulnerabilities. Alongside numerous talks and panel discussions, the conference also features Lightning Talks, a Vendor Showcase and Exhibits, and networking opportunities. The full program can be a...

At the headquarters of the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA), President Higgins was briefed by Mr Mark Camilleri, Head of Management Centre & Head of Governance. Following this meeting, the President delivered a keynote speech on the issue of migration to an audience including EUAA guests, staff and students from the University of Malta including the Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies (MEDAC).

More than 1.7 million people have fled Ukraine so far, and the United Nations expects more than 4 million others will leave the country and need protection and assistance in the coming months. Those fleeing to neighboring countries, mostly women and children, have been met with an impressive voluntary and government mobilization to answer immediate needs. Similarly, European Union (EU) policymakers are organizing an unprecedented response, unanimously approving the first-ever activation of the Temporary Protection Directive that will provide immediate protection and rights, reduce pressures on national asylum systems, and enhance responsibility sharing. Questions remain, however, about how the directive will work in practice and how quickly it will be rolled out, in particular as European asylum agencies and migration authorities face a range of operational issues for the first time. They will need to set up a new process to register people, but also organize which agencies (including EU ones) and which funding mechanisms will be tapped to ensure adequate reception and emergency assistance. In the medium term, populations fleeing Ukraine will need access to affordable housing, education, the labor market, and health care. How can European countries with tight housing markets and overburdened health-care systems, yet simultaneously pressing labor shortages, plan for the more medium- and long-term needs of those displaced by the war? And how can Ukrainian diasporas be mobilized effectively in the response without being overburdened with untenable demands? This MPI Europe webinar features expert views from the European Commission's Asylum Unit Head Esther Pozo-Vera, Alexander Sorel from the European Union Agency for Asylum, Sophie Magennis from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Representation for EU Affairs, and MPI Europe's Hanne Beirens and Jasmijn Slootjes. They offered information and key facts on the implementation of the Temporary Protection Directive, prospects for the integration of displaced populations, and lessons from the 2015-2016 refugee crisis that could apply in the current context.

In 2016, as a response to the shortcomings revealed in the EU's migration management, the Commission presented a proposal to amend and expand the mandate of The European Asylum Support Office (EASO), also changing its name to the European Union agency for asylum to reflect its stronger powers. As part of the asylum reform package, the proposal was put on hold, but was then relaunched as part of the new pact on asylum and migration in September 2020. On 29 June 2021, the European Parliament and the Council reached a political agreement on the agency. In this podcast, we'll look at its changing role and extended powers to improve asylum management in Europe. - 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

The Spring 2021 trainees of the European Committee of the Regions could not conclude their Y-Factor project on the European Year of Rail without a special episode on the Connecting Europe Express in Brussels, and the European Youth Event in Strasbourg.  When the Connecting Europe Express train arrived in Brussels after crossing multiple European countries and dozens of cities, we were joined by Mr Josef Doppelbauer, the Executive Director of the European Union Agency for Railways, to reflect on the challenges and potentials of the railway sector in the near future.

Everyone likes to quote De Coubertin, the visionary founder of the modern Olympic Games: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part." But let's face it, when we compete, we all try to win.The US Cyber Games is no different; it is about competing and winning, but it is also about learning and promoting a different way of educating the future generation of cybersecurity professionals.  Everyone who participates in such an innovative event has something to learn, even the coaches themselves: from other teams, each other, and the competitors.The InfoSec complexity requires diversity and a wide variety of skills that no single individual can master on their own. And, just like in any other team sport, each one has a role to play to bring their nation to the highest step on the podium. And if that doesn't happen, yes, the important part rolls back yo taking part and, in this case, helping to fill the infamous workforce gap in cybersecurity. It is a win for society, no doubt about it.Enjoy this podcast.____________________________About the International Cybersecurity ChallengeIn the first International Cybersecurity Challenge, teams from across the globe will compete in a series of challenges such as web application and system exploitation, cryptography, reverse engineering, hardware challenges, forensics and escape rooms.About the US Cyber GamesThe US Cyber Games was founded by Katzcy, in cooperation with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

CyberSecurity is a really cool profession, there is room for many to join in, and the skills required are numerous and diverse. So why aren't we attracting enough people into this massively understaffed field?

Zwei Drittel der queeren Menschen ist am Arbeitsplatz ungeoutet. Aus Angst vor Diskriminierung, Ausgrenzung oder Mobbing. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine Studie der European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights aus 2020. Warum trauen sich auch in Deutschland so viele LGBTIQ* nicht am Arbeitsplatz out zu sein? Ist ein Outing im Job wirklich noch immer ein Problem? Francesco di Bari und Dr. Gesa Heinrichs engagieren sich bei OTTO im queeren Mitarbeitenden-Netzwerk MORE*. Gemeinsam mit aktuell rund 450 Unterstützer*innen setzen sie sich für die Interessen und die Sichtbarkeit von queeren Menschen in der Otto Group ein. Warum braucht es solche Netzwerke und was bringen sie wirklich? Macht eine Regenbogenflagge vor der Firmenzentrale ein Unternehmen „gayfriendly“? Wie Unternehmen die Akzeptanz von LGBTIQ* in Job und Gesellschaft unterstützen können und wann ein Engagement unglaubwürdig ist („Pinkwashing“), verraten die Gesa und Francesco im O-TON.

Rich and Carola tackle their most challenging EU Charter article yet, the one about Justice. The amount of silences, fumblings and ditherings demonstrate how much they feel out of their depth but, as loyal EU citizens (still),  they have a go. The dithering also does not stop Rich in criticising how our UK application of the law fails to meet these EU Charter standards and the blooper reel at the end shows that attaining justice in a European-wide context is simply hard to attain and even more difficult to explain….

Are governments across the world doing enough to combat the threat of anti-Semitism? U.S. State Department Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Elan Carr, British Member of Parliament for the Labour Party John Mann, and European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights Director Michael O’Flaherty, joined us on the AJC Global Forum stage to address this question. Listen as they share their insights on the dangers of rising anti-Semitism and the need to step up efforts to confront it.

Earlier this week, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights released its second survey on discrimination and hate crimes against Jews in the EU. The survey’s troubling results are a reminder of the pervasive problem of anti-Semitism in Europe. Katharina von Schnurbein, Coordinator on Combating Anti-Semitism for the European Commission, joins us to discuss the findings from this survey. Our second conversation is with AJC CEO David Harris, who joins us to share his insights on how European governments have reacted to anti-Semitism and the need to step up efforts to confront it.

The director of the European Union Agency on Fundamental Rights, Michael O’Flaherty, joins a discussion with Felice Gaer, a distinguished U.S. human rights jurist. Speakers: Felice Gaer, James Goldston, Michael O’Flaherty. (Recorded: Oct 25, 2017)

Mercredi 3 février 2016, direct à 15:00 et en rediffusion à 19h ICI POUR NOUS ECOUTER SUR LA WEBRADIO – DERNIÈRE EMISSION DE LA SAISON! Au sommaire de la rédaction francophone d’Europhonica en ce mois de juin 2016 : Le Parlement européen a-t-il fait avancer la transparence fiscale dans l’Union ? Suite à l’affaire Luxleaks sortie du bois fin 2014 et le très médiatique sandale des Panama Papers, les institutions européennes sont forcés de réagir. On ne s’habituera jamais au tricotage fiscale perçue par beaucoup de citoyens européens comme une spoliation. TAXE 2, une commission spéciale – à ne pas confondre avec une commission “d’enquête” car basée sur un principe consultatif – est censé composer le socle de future mesures réglementaires favorisant la transparence fiscale des entreprises, des particuliers, des états. Chronique. L’Europe et sa jeunesse dos-à-dos En décembre 2015, un jeune Européen de moins de 25 ans sur cinq était au chômage. Une génération que certains commencent à appeler “sacrifiée”, peu représentée dans les institutions, snobant les urnes, à la recherche de sa place dans la société.Que peut bien attendre cette génération de l’Europe? Entre envie d’apporter un changement et suspicion envers le politique, parole est donnée aux Européens de demain. Nos invités, Anne-Mailinh et Stéphane, étudiants à l’IEP de Strasbourg, ont participé à la réalisation du webdoc “Génération UE“, dans lequel ils questionnent cinquante jeunes sur leur identité européenne et leur vision de l’avenir.Pour échanger avec eux, un regard universitaire sera aussi porté sur cette question. Nouvelle proposition d’aide aux réfugiés en débat au PE, révolutionnaire ou cache misère ? Aider financièrement les pays d’origines des réfugiés, créer un corps de garde-cotes à l’échelle européenne ou encore une carte bleue pour permettre à certains réfugiés de travailler dans l’Union Européenne, autant de propositions faite hier par la Commission européenne. Une nouvelle proposition qui intervient quelques mois après un accord très controversé entre l’Union Européenne et la Turquie. Cet accord prévoit que pour une personne accueillit par l’Europe une personne sera envoyé en Turquie. Cet accord signé au début de l’année prévoit aussi de déboursé 3 milliards d’euro pour aider la Turquie. Ce premier accord a été beaucoup critiqué, par certaines ONG, mais aussi ici au Parlement. Alors la nouvelle proposition de la Commission est elle différente ? Est elle révolutionnaire ou un nouveau cache misère ? Notre invité en direct Nathalie Griesbeck, Groupe ALDE, membre de la Commission des libertés civiles, de la justice et des affaires intérieures Ainsi que des témoignages recueillis de Geneviève Garrigos, présidente d’Amnesty International France (AIF) et Michel Beis du FRA, European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights.
