Following lengthy negotiations, the S&D Group in the European Parliament secured cross-party support for a binding target of 35% share of energy coming from renewable sources by 2030.

Traceability of tobacco will contribute to health and undermine smuggling, say S&Ds

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

Brussels, 28 November 2017

Today Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament voted to urgently introduce an independent traceability system for tobacco products. Some members of the parliamentary committee on health and environment had introduced an objection that would have delayed the adoption of the traceability system, thus again benefiting the tobacco industry. The S&Ds want to guarantee full implementation by 2019.

It’s disgraceful that member states turn a deaf ear to citizens on glyphosate, say S&Ds

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

Brussels, 27 November 2017

The Group of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament today strongly criticised the decision by member states to extend the licence of glyphosate, a pesticide which the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer considers “likely carcinogenic to humans.”
The S&D Group strongly backed the demand by the European Parliament to just phase out glyphosate instead of renewing its licence.

S&D vice-president for sustainability Kathleen Van Brempt MEP said:
