Social climate fund
As part of the 'fit for 55' package, the Commission has proposed the creation of a social climate fund (SCF) to compensate vulnerable households, micro-businesses and transport users for some of the costs of the green transition. The fund would be financed primarily through the extension of the EU emissions trading system to cover the buildings and transport sectors. Members will debate the SCF during the June I 2022 plenary session.
Въздушен транспорт: сигурност на гражданското въздухоплаване
Сигурността на въздухоплаването (която не следва да се бърка с безопасността на въздухоплаването[1]) има за цел предотвратяването на злонамерени действия срещу въздухоплавателни средства и техните пътници и екипаж. След ужасните нападения от 2001 г. ЕС прие набор от правила за сигурност за защита на гражданското въздухоплаване. Тези правила се актуализират редовно в отговор на променящите се рискове. Държавите членки си запазват правото да прилагат по-строги мерки.
Court of Justice rules on passenger compensation for flight delays
According to EU law, passengers have the right to a fixed level of compensation if their flight is cancelled or subject to a long delay.

The Court of Justice of the EU has recently ruled that unexpected technical problems cannot count as 'extraordinary circumstances'.
The proposed EU passenger name records (PNR) directive: Revived in the new security context
After the Paris attacks of January 2015, the fight against terrorism and the phenomenon of foreign fighters is now higher than ever on the EU agenda, with a series of new measures being discussed, and existing ones refocused.

The Cost of Non-Europe in the Single Market for Transport and Tourism
Significant progress has been achieved during the last 20 years in creating a Single Market for Transports. European tourism is and will remain a vital component of the economy, with enormous economic potential. Both sectors suffer however from remaining barriers, gaps and market inefficiencies that create substantial costs and that could be addressed through further action at EU level. The gains that could be achieved from addressing the identified issues have been estimated at 8.6 billion euro ...

Towards a European PNR system ? Questions on the Added Value and the Protection of Fundamental Rights
In November 2007, the European Commission published a proposal on the use of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data for law enforcement purposes. This proposal is closely related to other instruments obliging air carriers to transmit passenger data to national authorities, including Directive 2004/82/EC and various agreements that were signed with third countries. The establishment of an ‘EU PNR system’ is presented as a tool in the fight against terrorism and organised crime, but will also be used to ...
Data Protection from a Transatlantic Perspective : the EU and US Move towards an International Data Protection Agreement ?
Recent years have been marked by a growing demand of personal data for public security purposes. Access and protection of those data are climbing the transatlantic political agenda.

The possible conclusion of an international binding agreement on a common transatlantic framework on data protection would be a further and crucial step ahead. The scope of this study is to pave the way for launching a parliamentary debate on those issues. Therefore ...
