S&Ds criticise the two-face approach of EU member states on emissions and climate change

S&D - Socialists and Democrats
Socialists and Democrats are strongly committed to delivering on the promises made in Paris at the COP 21 UN summit on climate change.

Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption in Europe and therefore making them efficient is crucial, both to save money and to achieve the EU 2030 energy and climate goals. Today the European Parliament adopted the final deal with the EU Council for a new directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings.

Kamall: Macron's proposals risk a return to a 1950s agenda

ECR Group - European Conservative and Reformist Group

Emmanuel Macron's reform proposals risk returning the European Union to an outdated agenda of political integration, European Conservatives and Reformists group Co-chairman Syed Kamall warned today. 

Responding to the French President's address to the European Parliament, Mr Kamall said that while agreeing on the need to shake up the EU, the ECR Group could not support future plans for a bigger budget, harmonised corporate taxes, a unified social policy, a common asylum policy or a European minister of finance.
