Join the process ! At a time when the most crucial questions are transforming our societies, parity is a radical solution The General Recommandation 40 adopted by the CEDAW Committee is the major instrument for global and sustainable change in line with the implementation of the Beijing 30 Platform. The equal and inclusive representation of women in all decision making processes is now operational in its official version . We propose a radical change towards parity based on parity 50/50 by 2030 as a starting point to build the world differently.

🇪🇺 Fruitful meetings with the European Commission on Safe and Sustainable by Design ! Today, IFRA had the opportunity to meet with the European Commission services to present key policy recommendations for the upcoming EU mandate 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣-2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣9️⃣, building on insights from the sector’s recently completed case study on Safe and Sustainable by Design (#SSbD). Key takeaways: 🤝 Strengthening #dialogue: It’s essential to foster stronger platforms for collaboration between industry and regulators to improve safety and sustainability assessments of chemicals. This dialogue must be reinforced in the upcoming mandate. 🔬SSbD framework: While the draft SSbD framework (currently being tested) provides a solid foundation, it will require significant refinement to make it less resource-intensive, enabling all companies, especially #SMEs, to adopt it early in the innovation process. 🔄 Holistic approach on chemicals assessments: A comprehensive approach is crucial, incorporating both #hazard and #exposure assessments alongside sustainability criteria. ♻️ Data challenges: #Data availability, sharing, access, and #transparency remain critical challenges, particularly for #sustainability assessments. 🔊 #Collaboration is key as we move forward into the next EU mandate, ensuring that regulatory progress aligns with the pace of scientific advancements and the need for robust data. With The International Fragrance Association (IFRA), Chaima Elyahmadi, Annika Batel & Giovanni Colombo

Many thanks to Maive Rute, DG GROW Deputy Director General, for the interesting meeting. Indeed, we explored the three dimensions of sustainability and the active role DG GROW is playing on all three. We also talked about ESPR and DPP with Michele Galatola - and the role that the new upcoming legislation could play in helping consumers to make environmental friendly choices. We also mentioned with Alexis Basiaux the relevant role of standards in ensuring a cyber secure world.

1/2 The gathering of over 100 people experiencing poverty in Europe right after the #EUelections last week felt like a meeting of storytellers and scientists, of pattern observers with a strong message based on the common denominator of their own lived experiences. Their power is in their ability to tell stories that are local and spot the patterns that are #European, to talk about the way things are, and what is coming. Much more than consultants sweeping in to do clipboarded analyses, these are the true experts. But they're not being listened to. It is so odd that the practice of the European Commission and its member states is still to 'consult' (sometimes) groups of people on the frontlines of poverty and inequality, but not to actually involve them in the design of the policies that have to work for them. Policies on #homelessness, on #childpoverty, on minimum income schemes, on how #digitalisation is creating yet more #exclusion because its becoming impossible to get a bus without a bank card. I had to work hard to hold back tears a few times. When the woman from Austria asked 'when are we going to invest in peace?'. Or the Swedish woman who asked the Commission representative 'how can we get you to trust us?' Or the Belgian man who told the story of his life on the street, and his long journey of empowerment that brought him to speak on a panel questioning European politicians. Mostly the look on his face. One of those on the panel, Olivier De Schutter, the UN Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty, reminded us that Greece has a 153% GDP to debt ratio and needs to get to 60% in the next years (according to our economic rules in Europe). They will do that by cutting on things like social welfare and housing. People will suffer. In Belgium its 108% and it will have to save 27 billion Euro. Where will that come from? The not so funny thing is that social spending is exactly the thing that could help build a state of rights and trust and care and undercut the far right. But that's not whats happening. The next round of decisions to cut social spending will provoke a million stories of misery that are man-made. The decisions will be taken by politicians that we vote for, based on 'experts' who work with a logic of 'efficiency' and growth, not humanity, not redistribution. And the cycle keeps turning. It doesnt seem to matter if the governments are far right, centre right (though the definition of that has shifted) or centre left (ditto). Peoples' welfare, climate action, nature protection are sacrificed continually in the name of #growth, that doesn't trickle down. As De Schutter said, 'many do not benefit from economic growth. They dont feel heard or understood. Scholz in Germany campaigned on 'respect' for good reason. He was afraid of the rise of the far-right AFD that is happening because of all this.' If you listen to people, respect them, involve them, it could be so different. EAPN - European Anti Poverty Network #hope #systemicchange

🇪🇺 Take a look at the latest European Commission report,  "Emerging Digital Technologies in the Public Sector: The Case of Virtual Worlds", with the crucial contribution of our member Nicolas Blanc (CFE-CGC). https://lnkd.in/dfpEKarB 🔵 CEC European Managers’ members are at the forefront of addressing the intertwined challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and leadership. The recommendations in the European Commission's report include a socio-technical approach that addresses the interplay between people, industry, governance, and infrastructure. Regarding the role of leaders and managers, the report recommends producing and disseminating a set of toolboxes to help them with the digital transition.

Delighted that we British Irish Chamber of Commerce have launched our European Election Priorities Paper. Some points we'd like respective candidates consider include:   1.     Embrace a Global Trade Agenda. Candidates who represent Ireland should reject the growing trend of isolationism. Free and fair trade opens up new markets for exporters, gives consumers greater competition and options at home, it creates jobs and fuels innovation. 2.     Advocate for an EU – UK SPS Agreement. Agri-food products invoke the greatest levels on checks and inspections. These trade barriers are bad for consumers, farmers and retailers. A comprehensive SPS Agreement would address many of these barriers. 3.     Champion Framework Programme Funding The Chamber is urging MEPs to champion the budget for Framework Programme 10. The Chamber calls for an ambitious, ringfenced budget to deliver world-class research and innovation to solve global challenges and to increase the EU’s competitiveness. Furthermore, the UK’s association to FP 10 should be fast tracked.   4.     Support the Completion of the Capital Markets Union (CMU) The completion of the CMU should allow SMEs to have greater access to liquid capital markets to help fund the transition to a ‘green’ and ‘digital’ economy. The development of the CMU would only be effective if there is a streamlined approach to supervision and regulation across the EU.   5.     Reduce Bureaucracy – Create an EU Commissioner for SMEs   80% of Irish legislation originates from the EU, therefore it is important that it is understandable, implementable, and not contradictory. Excess bureaucracy is a costly burden on businesses and consumers alike and the EU has a reputation for bureaucratic entanglements. Amongst other things, a new SME focused Commissioner could be tasked with reducing unnecessary bureaucracy.   6.     Lead the Acceleration to Net Zero   To achieve this, we need to grow interconnection between Member States and the UK, the electrification of transport systems, and acknowledge the important roles of solar, green hydrogen, the Wind Power Package and the development of biomethane as an alternative source of energy.   7.     Support a potential UK request to link the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) with the UK ETS. Linking of carbon pricing is advantageous to both the EU and UK by increasing the pool of purchasers and sellers of Co2 permits and enhancing efficiencies for both the EU and UK markets.   8.     Protect the interests of Ireland’s Agri-food Sector   The CAP for over 60 years has supported Irish farmers and is critical in ensuring a balance between affordability of food and maintaining farm incomes. In Ireland, over a third of all emissions are derived from the Agri-food sector. Therefore, the onus of the green transition has a disproportionate impact on the sector and should be acknowledged through additional supports for Ireland in the next round of CAP negotiations.

🔸On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we reaffirm the commitment of Expertise France and the European Commission to end gender-based violence and promote gender equality. 🔸The #EUFunded #GenderFlagship project is one of many initiatives supporting public authorities with practical tools to address these challenges. This week, we’re hosting a workshop in Strasbourg with leading experts from around the world to provide participants with actionable strategies for improving governance and policymaking. ➡️The recent adoption of the EU Directive on violence against women and domestic violence is a key milestone in our collective efforts. Gender-based violence not only affects individuals but has wide-reaching economic consequences, costing the EU an estimated €289 billion each year. 🟰Equality is a smart investment. Through gender-responsive budgeting, we ensure that public resources are allocated effectively to meet the needs of all. Our workshop will focus on equipping authorities with the skills to implement these approaches and drive sustainable change. 🇪🇺The project is funded by the European Commission through the #TSI - Technical Support Instrument - and implemented by Expertise France. With the support of the European University Institute (EUI) and the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), we are working to transform strategic objectives into tangible and sustainable results that shape governance.
