Public Libraries 2020 (PL2020) is excited to celebrate Code Week 2017 at the European Parliament with a new interactive digital making experience. Following last year’s astonishing success, this year’s theme is “Smart Cities, Smart Citizens, Smart Libraries” – looking at how future technologies are interacting with libraries across Europe.

The economic and societal challenges faced by Europe must be turned in the right direction – a progressive direction – in order to reduce inequality as well as promoting growth. This is the main conclusion of a major PES conference entitled ‘Reinventing the European economy’, at which UN special advisor Jeffrey Sachs was the keynote speaker.

In his address to delegates gathered in Brussels, Mr Sachs said:

ECR MEP Sander Loones has welcomed the European Parliament's International Trade Committee's vote to update the anti-dumping duties which will provide clarity and protection to businesses.

The new rules passed by the committee today will ensure that anti-dumping import duties are placed when the price of the import has been significantly distorted from normal market value. This replaces a previous system where the duties were levied on whether the country had "market economy status".

After the success of this event, where more than one hundred participants including policy makers, customers, food and drink associations and flavour companies gathered together to know more about flavourings and their contribution to the future of food, other FlavourDays are flourishing around Europe.
