The biomethane sector will deliver 20% of current EU gas imports from Russia by 2030

Brussels, 8 March 2022 - The European Commission communication REPowerEU released today is a decisive step towards the rapid development of the biomethane industry in Europe. “Europe needs to urgently diversify and reduce its dependence on Russian gas whilst stepping up on the ambition for the climate targets.

Europe wants more renewables to increase its energy security

Today the European Commission presented new measures in response to the rise in electricity prices across Europe. The measures are strongly influenced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Commission wants Europe to accelerate renewables deployment to increase energy security and in particular reduce its dependency on fossil fuel imports from Russia. 

Put people at the heart of economic policies, S&Ds demand from Commission as they call for reform of outdated fiscal rules

The Socialists and Democrats call for fundamentally reorienting the European Semester away from the austerity matrix to putting the wellbeing of people first. Driving the transformation towards sustainable development requires a new governance approach and new rules and instruments: a Sustainability Pact.

Irene Tinagli, Chair of the economic and monetary affairs committee and S&D MEP responsible for the European Semester, said:

Bring health and safety rules into the 21st century to better protect European workers, S&Ds demand from EU Commission

Today, the European Parliament will debate and vote the Vind report on health and safety at work. The Socialists and Democrats have been spearheading ‘vision zero’ to ensure that no more workers die from work-related illnesses, including cancer, accidents and psychosocial risks. As working from home has become daily life for millions of Europeans, the EU must up-date its health and safety rules to take into account new risks for health and mental well-being.

S&Ds welcome the European Commission’s plan for greater independence from Russian gas and more energy security

The S&Ds welcomed the European Commission’s idea to propose an obligation for all EU member states to have all gas reserves 90% full on 1 October of each year. According to the S&D Group, who has long been calling for such a measure, this would be crucial to avoid price volatility every heating season. The Socialists and Democrats also called on the Commission to elaborate a plan to get rid of Russian fossil fuel supplies and make sure the necessary infrastructure for alternative sources is in place throughout the EU.

Hydrogen Accelerator must replace, repurpose and reinvest

Switching gear towards a rapid energy transition has never been more important. Hydrogenewables – the combination of clean hydrogen and renewable electricity – can cooperatively renovate our energy system and reduce the EU’s dependency. They deliver a more resilient EU energy system, reduce EU’s consumption of fossil fuels, and ensure security of supply. Now is the moment for the EU to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen technologies by replacing, repurposing, and reinvesting.

Stop violence against women and domestic violence!

The Socialists and Democrats welcome the European Commission’s proposed Directive to combat violence against women and domestic violence, presented today on International Women’s Day.

Although the S&Ds would have preferred a more comprehensive law, covering all forms of gender-based violence and implementing the standards of the Istanbul Convention, they consider today’s proposal a big step towards eradicating violence against women, a key S&D demand for over a decade now.
