European Institute for Gender Equality’s Post

EC Commissioner candidates - sharing with you, other EU enthusiasts: if you, like me, thought this was merely a repetition of the Mission Letters... ...then think again. 💡 Each overview-document lists relevant legislative texts for the Commissioner candidates' briefs along with recent developments. Useful if you are: ✅ checking out a new topic of EU activities that you are not so familiar with or ✅ want to see what is relevant for the new posts (such as defense or housing)

🔴 According to the latest rumors these are the projected chairmanships of the European Parliament committees. They are based on the D'Hondt method. Below is the table outlining the expected appointments by political groups ⤵️

🚴♀️ Important developments from the European Commission! The focus on sustainable mobility, climate neutrality, and innovation is growing stronger, and cycling must be at the heart of Europe’s green transition. 🌍 If the European Commission wants to tackle the development of sustainable mobility, they should take inspiration from our manifesto. A world-class European cycling industry and sustainable mobility in 10 steps. By prioritising cycling in EU policies, we can collectively work toward a cleaner, healthier future for all. Read our Manifesto now: https://lnkd.in/dhugsN82 🙌 Let’s join forces to make cycling a key pillar of the EU’s green agenda! #CyclingIndustriesEurope #CyclingIndustries #Cycling #EuropeanCommission #Europeanpolitics #SustainableMobility

Important news regarding the EU MDR / IVDR and one to keep an eye on for future developments over the forthcoming weeks. Whereas we all agree patient safety is paramount we need the European Regulatory Framework (EU MDR / IVDR) to be practical, pragmatic, risk based and to facilitate innovation for not only well-established Medical Device Manufacturers but vitally for SMEs and StartUps (an area I am passionate about) for all our benefit.

Watch the fourth Parliament session here

🔔 Today, European Parliament committees are holding their constitutive meetings to elect their chairs and vice-chairs. Political groups often use the d'Hondt method to distribute the posts of chairs and vice-chairs of committees among themselves by informal agreement. This proportional distribution must then be confirmed with a majority vote in each committee 🗳️ Why do both the Parliament and EU countries use the d'Hondt method? What results does it tend to achieve? Read our briefing to find out ➡️ https://europa.eu/!qct3cR

In today's world, technology is evolving at an unprecedented rate, demanding our concerted efforts to stay abreast with the latest applications and systems. Even the applications and systems we are implementing are changing as we implement them! The realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming even more quickly- sigh!!! leaving many of us in a perpetual state of playing catch-up. To navigate this fast-paced environment, I've observed several institutions taking proactive steps by establishing dedicated AI change teams to adapt AI advancements and new technologies more quickly. How has your organization adapted to keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of AI and technology? Mikaeli Jesang, CIA® Gideon Gutu DUKE KEANA Kibugi Kamau Kigundu, MBA Pravin S.

Mmmm full marks for these courageous young ( first time ? ) UK MPs for having the guts to speak out about the elephant everybody knows is in the room As UK identity day by day becomes more of a “cultural identity” rather than a racial one ( according to.several recent surveys) , perhaps Brentry is moving from a yes / no debate to a “how ? “ Without the deviciveness of another fraught and spurious referendum The UK was bult on a system to elect MPs who pass laws by democratic majority If the outstanding MPs here gather similar sensible voting colleagues then Sir Kier Starmer , a man wh observes supports and follow the law , really has the path eased and plotted If the majority of Labour MPs who have a majority, dynamically observe its time to reverse the Brexit decision, the Parliamentry path exists No buses , no jingo , no take control catch phrases Resulting in inflation , “90 days” , visas , restricted markets queues, and few promised trade gigadeals Etc etc There is no shame in an about turn here Onlookers applaud courage Courage is a UK DNA when things need to be put right Lets see if Labour MP. colleagues put people or politics first Budgets which just tinker are going to kick the ball fown the road in a tense and overstretched context Yes the EU isnt perfect No But here the UK could add energy for change ( Draghi style? ) in a resulting negotiation to produce a giant win win outcome Britain enters on condition of a reformed EU A big hand in redesigning success for all
