Vote on ETS backloading and Fluorinated greenhouse gases

During the 19-20 June meeting ENVI members will vote on highly important files: one on the ETS backloading amendments that were tabled to the original Commission proposal after the plenary rejected it in April (Groote, S&D, DE) and another on the F-gases regulation(Eickhout, Greens/EFA, NL). proposing to reduce non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions. Both votes are essential for the overall EU target to reduce emissions by 80 95 % on 1990 levels by 2050 and thus slowing the rate of climate change.

A freeze on the auctioning of some CO2 permits to help boost investment was approved for a second time by Environment Committee MEPs on Wednesday after the full House narrowly rejected the measure in April. The committee proposes stricter conditions and advocates an earlier, predictable reintroduction of credits. MEPs also propose earmarking a portion of permit auction revenues for innovation.

Velkommen
 
Matthias Groote ENVI Committee Chair  
 

Velkommen til webstedet for Udvalget om Miljø, Folkesundhed og Fødevaresikkerhed (ENVI).
 
ENVI er med sine 69 medlemmer Europa-Parlamentets største udvalg. ENVI sørger for, at de europæiske borgeres bekymringer vedrørende miljø, sundhed og fødevaresikkerhed afspejles i lovgivningen på disse områder. Europa-Parlamentet har fået medlovgivende beføjelser på størstedelen af de områder, der drøftes i ENVI, hvilket gør det til et af de mest indflydelsesrige udvalg.
 
Inden for miljøpolitikken beskæftiger ENVI sig med spørgsmål, der rækker fra regulering af giftige kemikalier til beskyttelse af biodiversiteten i Europa. Udvalget arbejder desuden for fremme af et ressourceeffektivt og bæredygtigt Europa. Bekæmpelse af klimaændringer er et centralt element i udvalgets arbejde.
 
De seneste fødevareskandaler i medlemsstaterne har understreget behovet for bedre fødevaresikkerhed. ENVI kaster et kritisk blik på lovgivningen på fødevareområdet. Bedre forbrugeroplysning, f.eks. ved hjælp af klar og entydig varemærkning, er et hovedanliggende for ENVI.
 
Når det gælder folkesundhed, bestræber ENVI sig på at finde europæiske løsninger på sundhedsmæssige udfordringer. De seneste eksempler på dette arbejde omfatter sikkerhed af lægemidler og kosmetiske midler, bekæmpelse af forfalskede lægemidler og beskyttelse af patientrettigheder.
 
Vi håber, at dette websted vil give bedre indsigt i vores arbejde, og vi opfordrer dig til at skrive kommentarer til de emner, som interesserer dig.
