2 YEARS. REAL RESULTS. With the new European rules, the EPP Group ensured a coordinated approach to asylum and migration within the European Union. This enables us to make an effective distinction upon arrival at the external border, helping those who genuinely need protection and arranging for the swift return of those from safe countries. #PeopleFirst

RT by @EPPGroup@respublicae.eu: We've been clear from the very beginning: children's safety comes first. We need a Europe that protects them. Today, we delivered. The Council's agreement on the interim child sexual abuse material regulation closes the legal gap that left children unprotected online for months.

"The Electrification Action Plan sends a positive signal for reducing Europe’s high electricity prices through promising measures on network codes, grid charges, and flexibility. Electricity must become cheaper to realize a switch away from fossil fuels. The EU must do everything that makes sense within a market-based economy to achieve this goal," says Christian Ehler MEP.

Today, the European Parliament adopted its position on the new Return Regulation, marking a decisive step towards restoring control over migration in Europe and complete the final pillar of the Pact on Migration and Asylum.
The adopted mandate reflects the EPP Group's commitment to a fair but firm migration policy ensuring that those who do not have the right to stay in the EU are returned effectively.

Europe needs responsibility, not political games!
The EPP Group delivers on its promises and on migration.
Today, the European Parliament adopted a clear position for a credible and efficient return policy.
It is deeply regrettable that the Socialists could not support a balanced and pragmatic approach, especially when their own governments have already agreed to these measures.
Without enforcing return decisions, there is no credible migration policy.

Politics is about people before anything else. Every decision we make is guided by the same Christian Democratic values that have shaped Europe for generations. Security is one of those principles that remains more relevant than ever. It means more than feeling protected. It’s what gives us the confidence to live freely. And freedom can only flourish where people feel safe in their homes, in their communities, and secure in their future. What makes you feel safe in today's Europe?
