This Saturday January 19th will mark 10 years that the EU Commission has failed to publish ‘nutrient profiles’, as required by law. This important tool would stop the food industry from making unhealthy foods and drinks looking healthier than they are.

Today’s decision is an important milestone to lower the cost of driving – with projected fuel savings of up to thousands of euros over the next decade – and push car makers to place low-emission and fuel-efficient cars on the market.

Today, negotiators from the European Parliament and Member State governments concluded a deal to open up broadcasters’ TV programmes, series and news content for online viewers living in another EU country. The deal is limited to ‘news and current affairs’ programmes as well as fully financed own productions from the broadcaster. This constitutes a weakening of the original European Commission proposal which did not limit the type of productions affected by this law.

Today, the European Parliament voted in plenary to make risk assessment in the food chain more transparent.
