COMMITTEE ON CULTURE AND EDUCATION

Broadening European exchange How can the flagship initiative ldquoYouth on the Moverdquo be made more accessible to young people who have limited financial capaci-ty and who come from less advan-taged educational backgrounds

Some people believe that low literacy is a concern confined to third-world countries However is it Europe has been assumed to be fully literate yet around 55 million people aged between 16 and 65 cannot read and write properly ldquoone in five European 15-year-olds and almost one in five adults lack the literacy skills required to successfully function in a modern societyrdquo

Donrsquot you think we should all know about this

ldquoIf education alone cannot transform

society neither can society change

without itrdquo

- Paulo Reglus Neves Freire

How will we promote a culture of lifelong

learning

bull We give people a reason to learn

bull We break down barriers to learning

bull We help people kick start the learning process

Any time is a good time to learn

Every teacher plays a role in the success of young pupils in education

To motivate and provide students with a broad scope of knowledge teachers should have a wider range of specialized content Besides fulfilling educational goals teachers have to encourage pupilsrsquo creativity However if so wouldnrsquot more time be required If we wish to give equal attention to different approaches to learning why not have more teachers in the classroom Every child should have an equal opportunity to education despite economic status special education needs migrant or even ethnic

minority background

ldquoThe refugee crisis has put education systems under extreme pressurerdquo

International migratory flow has accelerated and diversified during the last decades becoming more and more complex How does the share of immigrants in schools affect the classroom performance of non-immigrants Can education help to combat anti-immigration

mentalities by favouring and adopting a process of integration

1) Immigrants are less educated than natives however there is great diversity across countries These differences point to the fact that the policies required to facilitate the integration of immigrants may have

to vary across countries

2) While first generation immigrants will be almost entirely educated in their country of origin and not their host country child immigrants and second generation immigrants typically join the education

system of their host country

Therefore educational institutions play an important role in bridging the gap in the education system

Immigrant integration can be enhanced byUsing free pre-school programs

Recruiting teachers with an immigrant background ndash establishing positive role models

Better educated individuals are generally more open have a stronger preference for cultural diversity and a favourable attitude towards

immigrants

It is crucial to make students experience the joy of under-standing If schools take on the responsibility of adopting a welcome open attitude to immigrants this will positive-ly influence the attitudes of students and those within the community Helping to ease the integration of immigrants on a wider scale Naturally young people with limited finan-cial capacity and from less advantaged educational back-grounds will acquire a sense of integration and self-determi-nation which will positively impact them throughout life Yes education is definitely the key to success be-cause I am you are we are Youngsters on the Move

Nevertheless hostility towards immigrants may result in a poor attainment preventing learners from acquiring further skills

Thus year after year problems go unsolved Education becomes an opportunity not fully grasped and young pupils risk drop-

ping out of school at the very first chance they getIs education indeed the silver bullet for the next generation

Tiny wobbly baby steps towards Education and Training in Europe 2020

COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC AND MONETARY AFFAIRS

A new industrial revolution With the industrial sector forming the backbone of many European economies how can Europe and the different economies of its Member States achieve renewed investment and growth in industry

The future of EU industry system

The establishment of an ldquoIndustrial policy for globalization erardquo is one of the seven 2020 goals Therefore we must re-think the current status of the European industry due to its comparatively low standards of research and development when compared to other super economies and crucial differences within the Union itself Today European industries face challenges that do not allow them to achieve their full potential and will not allow them to achieve the 2020 goals

02

Servitisation is the process of changing the way manufacturing companies see themselves in the market

This process has seen a substantial rise in the past decade Manufacturing firms can now extend their portfolio to offer services creating a boost in the dynamics behind the de-industrialisation we are facing today This shift towards services aims to increase competitiveness at both local and global market level whilst acquiring additional revenues which will become more stable over time Looking at the statistics we can clearly observe the advantages that servitisation has brought to certain manufacturing companies

bull Compared to pure goods producers servitised firms are 35 percent more profitable bull Manufacturing firms in which services account for less than 10 of their production sales are twice the size of pure goods producers

Share of services in industry output

The graphic along with the different markets studied offers clear examples of the influence of services On the one hand the demand for mechanical and electrical equipment has caused an increase in the use of services for installation and maintenance help Yet on the other hand the market for wood paper and printing services has decreased due to the decline in demand for such materials This suggests that each market must be considered individually when figuring out the best approach to making each industry as successful as possible

The European industrial world is changing and itrsquos now time to find new approaches to get the most from the current market Will servitisation have a significant importance in the industrial market future

lsquolsquoMy motto will be ldquoaccelerate and integraterdquo We need to accelerate the implementation of concrete actions to

support a comepetitive industrial economy And we have to better integrate competitiveness in all policy areas at all

levels of governmentrdquo

-Elzbieta Bienkowska European comissioner for the Internal Market

The solution for the dilemma facing the European industry will never be straightforward As is the opinion of the European commissioner for Industry several areas exist which must be reviewed and rethought with the aim of achieving a more competitive industrial economy In her speech the commissioner reminded the industry that they must find new ways of conducting business innovating their system and investing in new technologies whilst bearing in mind climate changes and environmental issues

COMMITTEE ON INDUSTRY TRADE AND ENERGY

Smart cities for smart growth How can innovative urban development meet the challenges of increasing urbanisation and sustainability within and beyond the scope of Europe 2020

Smart cities for 11 billion people Mitchell Joachim at

TEDxBerlin

In this very interesting and captivating speech from the acknowledged innovator in ecological urban design and architecture Mitchell Joachim we learn more about the possibilities of smart cities and their effects on society and citizenrsquos lifestyles In this TEDx talk the expert provides different examples of how innovation starts and how we can begin thinking differently about the way we build our cities in order to successfully combine evolution and ecology

03

A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make use dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible extract the maximum value from them whilst in use then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of

each service life

Technology is vital in the development of Smart Cities There are many possible means of incorporating technology into our everyday lives For example the concept of the Internet of Things the network of physical objectsmdashdevices vehicles buildings and other itemsmdashembedded with electronics software sensors and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data 1

However therersquos more to smart cities than simply technology From green fea-tures to safety and security there are many more factors that make a city smart

Circular economy a key concept

A smart growing city is by definition environmental-ly friendly which makes the circular economy a key concept

This definition can be looked up at the website of the Waste amp Resources Action Programme (WRAP) which is a registered charity that helps communities to achieve a circular economy whilst helping businesses and individuals to reduce waste develop sustainable products and use resources efficiently Effective resource management is crucial to the establishment of a sustainable and green economy The circular economy promotes waste reduction a greater resource productivity increases competitiveness and also reduces the environmental impacts of production and consumption so

COMMITTEE ON CIVIL LIBERTIES JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS

The future of Schengen How can Europe safeguard its principle of free movement while adequately reacting to the new challenges of the migration and refugee crisis

The Refugue Crisis Fixing Borders Is Not Enough

The article from the Centre of European Reform attempts to find a new strategy in reference to the current refugee crisis Should we use the existing strategy or come up with a totally new one The author states that a large number of immigrants are solely moving countries for economic reasons It is important to see the difference between an economic and lsquogenuinersquo refugee How can we distinguish between the two whilst remaining neutral And who decides how we do this Since poverty alignment should not be an overlooked explanation for immigration

On the other hand is it right to close the boarders to economic refugees Europersquos economy remains far more stable than the majority of countries that refugees are coming from Europe has to realise that 99 of the refugees are living lives full of hardships Such lives as lived by a 13-year-old refugee from Lebanon who started crying in front of the German chancellor Angela Merkel speaking the following words ldquo It is terribly painful to see others really enjoying life when you canrsquot enjoy life yourselfrdquo She is not alone in feeling this way Not in the slightest

ldquoWe need a strong European approach on migration And

we need it nowrdquo

Jean-Claude Juncker 23 August 2015

Is the Schengen dream of Europe without borders becoming a thing of

the pastThis article tells a personal story which shows the benefits of the Schengen area for Europeans but also telling the fears of people concerning the ongoing crisis ldquoIt was an ideal that all these countries would unite and be the same and equalrdquo Rainer Maring sighed ldquoBut Europersquos not working right Now all of this is put at risk Wersquore going backwards There are lots of calls to close down the borders Itrsquos all going wrongrdquo How can we ensure that we keep our borders open Nicolas Sarkozy the ex-president of France already declared ldquoSchengen is deadrdquo If we close our borders again will we take a trip back in time or is this a necessary step towards a better future The Greek border is an particular crisis because it is the main entrance into Europe for refugees Will it be enough to close only the Greek borders or will the refugees find alternative entrances to Europe Especially with the most desired destinations for refugees being Germany Sweden and Hungary1

ldquoWe will never erect any fences any wallsrdquo

Aleksander Vucic 26 August 2015

Brussels attacks Can Europe keep its open borders

This article stresses the effect that the terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels had on national security levels Belgium for example rein-troduced boarder controls Furthermore the author highlights that the advantage of open borders is not solely economic Open boarders allow for cultural exchange Do we want to leave all this behind Or should the EU work on a concept that allows open borders and in-stead solves the problems the refugee crisis is causing It is also unsure that we will achieve more effective security by closing our borders

Where are they coming from and where do they go

Seeing all these statistics evokes a range of different emotions From fear to anger to being overwhelmed by the high number of peo-ple who had to leave their whole life behind them in order to be-come ldquoEuropeanrdquo Does their life not have as much worth as ours Do we have the right call a country our territory and deny oth-ers access despite them needing support and acceptance their own homes having been destroyed Is this more of a moral debate

COMMITTEE ON LEGAL AFFAIRS

Investing in a knowledge society How should the EU balance upholding intellectual property rights with the access to knowledge for education culture and research

Intellectual Property Rights protection is involved in everything around us Whether you realise it or not you have certainly encountered it From jokes on Tumblr about Taylor Swift suing everyone to the medicine we take when we have a headache everything involves Intellectual Property protection Naturally it has both a positive and a negative side It is the committeersquos goal to find ways to create a balance between the two

are made on a national level but since the trade market is becoming more and more international with each day there are growing numbers of problems Furthermore considering the fact that a vast amount of big companies are multinational any IPR infringement problems that might occur need to be solved at an international levelPA

Two sides of the coin

These videos show two different perspectives on the topic The first one being a CEO and Inventor explaining the importance that a strong patent system had in his particular case The second one a TED talk offers the counter view that focuses on the problems that patents create in the medical field by preventing the creation of cheaper versions of the medicines

So which is more important economic growth or access to valuable often lifesaving information If we put it this way it seems obvious that the IPR protection is less important than saving a life However that doesnrsquot mean that the patents copyrights and trademarks should be banned completely as this would increase the unemployment and poverty rates So is there a way to balance the two Are there possible solutions for special cases that IPR effects such as the one described in the medical field

What does the media have to say about this

This article explains the faults that exist in the current patent sys-tem according to the author The author explores the idea of abolishing patenting altogether but having been proven ineffec-tive it also shows what is wrong and how that could be changed

Breakthroughs brought to you by IPR This infographic should give you an idea

of the part that IPR protection systems play in innovation and progress It shows the breakthroughs and the profits gained (shown in the GDP per capita) thanks to the existence of patents and trademarks

What Who Why Ben Wallis answers

In this interview Ben Wallis a Consumers In-ternational Coordinator discusses several as-pects of the topic at hand She speaks of the problems and benefits of patents explains the disadvantages of a strict IP protection sys-tem and shows the interests of consumers and industries in keeping or banishing patents

It might give you a simpler more acces-sible approach to the topic to better help you understand different aspects to it

Why it matters The following graphs show the correlation between the num-ber of Patents and the GDP throughout the years (2000-2014) in the countries of France UK and Germany The lines are continuously parallel showing the positive influ-ence of the Patents on the economy From this we can con-clude the importance that IPR intensive companies have on the economy and the influence their use has on cre-ating employment This supports the argument that the abolishment of Patents and other forms of IP protection would have a significantly large negative impact on the economy

In conclusion there are two main conflicts at stake

bull The conflict between the preservation of intellectual property by the authors and the stagnation of progress and innovation caused by the lack of access to the information that is patented

bull The lack of harmonization of patent legislation across

the EU

Considering all of the information given to you the various perspectives and insights what do you think could be done to solve the existing problems Who should be prioritized the inventors or the consumers or is the possibility to find a com-

promise an achievable solution

COMMITTEE ON EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS

Equal opportunities or equality of result In how far should Europe make an effort to reduce the growing wage and income inequality whilst keeping in mind its aim of lifting 20 million people out of risk of poverty and social exclusion

Income inequality is a significant issue facing todayrsquos society that effects almost every country in the world The staggering difference between the rich and the poor has serious consequences on society and the number of people at risk of poverty and social exclusion is on the rise This disparity has become more and more apparent In both developed and developing countries the poorest half of a country representing only 10 of its wealth Also it is proven by the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report of 2012 that the richest 300 people on earth have the same amount of money as the total owned by the poorest 3 billion people The same report states that some countries in the world are 80 times richer than others So considering the differences of the economic and political systems between countries what can be done to balance such inequalities

On September 15th 2015 the European Federation of Academies of Sci-ences and Humanities (ALLEA) the European Science Foundation (ESF) and the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) gathered to de-bate the rise of income inequality in EU countries For example a pro-

posed solution discussed in this meeting was the taxation of the richest individuals Af-ter this debate the partici-pants unanimously conclud-ed that this issue is not being properly addressed by the Member Statesrsquo governments If this is the case the prob-lem of income inequality will not be solved and equality will

not be achieved How can we encourage Member States to pay more at-tention to this issue Recent events such as the reports on tax avoid-ance by multinational companies (eg IKEA and Starbucks) and the role of offshore companies concerning the Panama Papers affair have once again underlined that there is far too much room for improvement

In 2012 Eurostat released a video explaining that the definition of poverty inside the European Union can differ greatly since all the Member Stateslsquo and its individuals have different perspectives This is due to unavoidable cultural differences in each Member State But is this really as simple as Eurostat makes it seem What do you think is poverty a product of cultural differences Letrsquos take a closer look

06

First off the poor acting of the ldquojournalistldquo and her ldquofriendldquo is completely ridiculous Do we really need a ldquoplotldquo to ex-plain poverty in the European Union This video is far too light-hearted when taking into account the issue they are discussing poverty not exactly material for small-talk It makes poverty look like a joke rather than the real issue it is

The only redeeming quality of this video is the fact that per-ception of poverty is highlighted to be relative to the society in which a person lives in Imagine you live in a neighbourhood where there is no sign of poverty you would see poverty as a pressing issue However if you lived in a less ldquoaffluent part of townrdquo where you witness poverty all around you you would be unavoidably aware of itrsquos presence With only this to commend Eurostatrsquos video on you could say lsquonice tryrsquo and suggest the EU should address this widespread problem appropriately and justly

Taking all of this into account what measures can be tak-en to tackle the lack of serious action regarding this issue What could be done in regards to both nation-al and global taxation policies We are curious what EM-PLrsquos stance on the topic of inequality is looking like

COMMITTEE ON THE ENVIRONMENT PUBLIC HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY

Sustainable growth on global markets After the agreements of the COP21 Summit in Paris have paved the way for a global climate deal how can Europe push for a global emission trading scheme

bullAim for greenhouse gas emissions to peak as soon as possible bullRapid reductions to achieve a balance between emissions from human activity and the amount that can be retained in the atmosphere

bullDeveloped countries must continue to take the lead in the reduction of greenhouse gases

bullDeveloping nations are encouraged to enhance their efforts and move over time to cut emissions

bull Keep warming ldquowell below 2 degrees celsiusrdquo

bull Continue all efforts to limit the rise in the temperature to 15 degrees celsius

07

The Paris Agreement represents the first step towards a greener planet The Parties agreed on an ambition cycle a set of goals timeframes and commitments designed to ensure that Parties

regularly strengthen their commitments Governments aim to lower global warming to below 2ordmC meanwhile providing finance to poor nations to help them cut emissions and cope

This video explains in a simplified way all the negotiations that took place in Paris The COP21 Conference in Paris was a major step forwards to ensure a sustainable future The previous conferences did not have the same success Furthermore the COP21 will give several countries the opportunity to work together towards a greener and more sustainable future energy-wise environmentally and economically

Al Gore is an American politician and environmentalist who served as the 45th Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton Despite several less optimistic projections for the future Al Gore presents a different perspective on the matter showing that embracing green solutions is becoming cheaper and cheaper as well as more efficient to implement Is the green future closer than we have been imagining

EUROPEANSrsquo VIEW ON EUROPE 2020

45 consider that the EU ldquois going in the right direc-tion to exit the crisis and face new global challengesrdquo

25 consider that it is going in the wrong direction23 believe that the EU is going in neither the right nor the wrong direction7 expressed no opinion on Europe2020

Source European Commission Europe2020 Report (Standard Eurobarometer 81 Spring 2014) Pages 13-18

ldquoOn March 5 the European Commission launched the first step in reviewing the Europe 2020 strategy The mid-term review is designed

to take stock of the progress made so far in achieving the goals and targets of Europe 2020 and to set the pace for possible re-enforcement

or adaptation of the strategy As people continue to struggle with the impact of the financial and economic crisis we need the European Union Institutions and member states to honour the

commitments they made in 2010rdquo

With 4 years left until the deadline the objectives the EU set with this programme in nearly all categories still have not been met Reviews such as these are crucial By periodi-cally reviewing its general progress we are facilitating anal-ysis and reflection on the evolution of the measures being taken and therefore promoting improvement However af-ter all the analysis and reflections that have been made we can conclude that failure is imminent A change of measures may be the only chance this programme has to ever prevail

Furthermore the answer lies in the upcoming genera-tions The youth need to step in and demand a different ap-proach How should we prioritize our goals What needs to be reformed How will we prevent Europe2020 from shar-ing the same fate as itsrsquo predecessor The Lisbon Strate-gy And last but not least Where should the budgets go to
