D01094 We should subsidize higher education institutions in favor of Though we have been establishing national-level institutes for the past 40 years, we haven’t been investing to maintain their standards. Funds are needed for quality education. Even the top Indian institutes lack proper infrastructure, labs, resources, etc. And even whatever is available is just for the sake of passing the students in the examination and sitting idle the rest of the time. 1 0 1

E01020 Companies should pay for the environmental damage cause by their products in favor of If all costs, including CO2 emissions of the production, the extraction of resources and its consequences for the region (environment and humans), ecosystem damage, recycling of the waste, and so on and so forth would be monetized and internalized in the costs of the products, many of our problems would be solved. It would simply make the more environmentally friendly products cheaper than the others and their production economically smarter. 1 0 1
E01060 Intensive livestock farming should disappear in favor of The current subsidies with a modular system of incentives should be replaced, as that empowers farmers to choose environmentally, socially, and financially responsible and sustainable solutions that are already available - like natural sequence farming, regenerative agriculture, permaculture, etc. 1 0 1
E01061 Intensive livestock farming should disappear in favor of In Germany, 60% of the land is used for animal feed. In determining how much subsidy a holding receives, the area of the holding is decisive. In other words, a lot of land, a large amount of subsidy. This results in cheap animal feed and, ultimately, intensive livestock farming. Thus, if the state subsidises animal feed and livestock farming on the basis of their size and not on the basis of sustainability and animal welfare, the concept of intensive livestock farming will be supported. 1 0 1
E02009 Cohesion funds should be provided directly to cities and regions in favor of The cohesion funds have become a mechanism for local oligarchs and political elites to maintain their power and influence within national contexts, thus resulting in utilizing EU funds for their own personal or political gains and withholding the benefits from the people in cities and regions. 0 0 1
E02010 Cohesion funds should be provided directly to cities and regions in favor of An increased percentage of funds dedicated to cities and regions that are controlled and distributed from the EU institutions directly to the local administrations can bypass the national systems which enable the political dependency in the first place. 0 0 1

E02017 Immigrants should integrate through work in favor of I work on a programme in Ireland to help migrants, refugees and asylum seekers get employment and integrate. The qualifications, skills, experience and resilience they bring is amazing and so valuable to employers and the country. There is far too much focus on negative aspects of migration, much of it based on incorrect stereotypes. Migration brings lots of positives to countries but we need to be open to them. 1 0 1
E02029 Immigrants should receive help from the EU through integration programs in favor of Working in sectors in ample need of workers, such as the agricultural fields, will help to integrate immigrants once their situation has been legalized. And above all, education is needed, an intensive integration education both in the language (of course) and also culture: history, philosophy, literature, etc. 1 0 1
E02049 The European Union should support and integrate immigrant people to ensure that they live with dignity and equality with all European citizens in favor of Europe is more than rich enough to welcome many immigrants and if they are permitted to work, they will even generate their own income and benefits for the country they arrive in. 1 0 1
E02058 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment in favor of Across the EU, young people are continuing to face a number of significant challenges to enter and get a stable position in the labor market. They do not easily obtain good quality jobs with decent wages and are still faced with significant exclusion from regular employment, good-quality education, training opportunities as well as adequate inclusion and coverage in the national social protection systems. Young women and migrants are particularly affected. So we need a fairer migration policy but also consider migrant needs (and challenges) in other policy areas. 1 0 1
E02060 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment in favor of In the EU labor market we will need more workers from outside Europe to continue the level of economic activities we are planning. 1 0 1

E05002 The EU should focus more on ensuring the success of the internal market, and on improving its competitiveness in favor of Whenever you find yourself in crisis, and the EU is in crisis, it is a good idea to return to core business.

E05005 The EU should implement a common pension fund in favor of The EU has some rules on how social security systems are coordinated (Regulation 883/2004/EC). EU rules ensure that the pension rights accrued in each country are added together and paid out by the pension insurance institution of the Member State of affiliation. But the bureaucratic nightmare is probably just as guaranteed. A better solution would be a transparent and digital platform that collects pension entitlements from all EU member states. That way, every citizen would have an overview of his or her pension entitlements at all times, not just until when they are due. 0 1 1
E05010 The EU should equalize the retirement age for all Europeans. in favor of The standardized retirement age would not only be fairer in an open market, but it would also (and even more so in the future) prevent any complexities with being paid their retirement for those who have made their contributions in different Member States throughout their lives. Even though there is to be at least a central system for this (a step in the right direction), one will only receive a share of one's retirement from a particular Member State once one reaches the retirement age of that Member State. 1 0 1
E05012 The EU should improve public management and anti-corruption mechanisms in favor of Bad governance, unreasonable spending, and corruption are damaging and unsustainable which means, we can't afford to leave them alone if we want to have a future. 0 1 1

E05101 EU countries should slightly reduce health insurance contributions for all citizens who do not use tobacco products in favor of I think increasing taxes on tobacco could do a similar thing.

E05115 The EU needs a more rational Green Policy in favor of It shouldn't be the European families who pay for the damage caused by multinational corporations. 0 0 1
E05116 The EU needs a more rational Green Policy in favor of Raising prices in the energy sector cannot be the solution in the fight against climate change. The European Commission allows international firms to increase their prices, and as a result, household costs are rising at an incredible rate. The EU should definitely revoke these decisions, and instead of placing the burden on its own citizens, it should instead support them to lead a more sustainable way of life. The green transition should not be a heavy burden borne on the average citizen’s shoulders 0 0 1
E05120 We need to move towards drug reform, which will change our outdated drug policy. in favor of Tax revenues generated by cannabis could be redirected towards education in poor neighborhoods (increasing teachers' pay in these areas, reducing the number of teachers per class) in order to give these populations a better future. But unlike in the Netherlands, production should also be legal and highly regulated by the state. 1 0 1
E05126 The EU needs a European research center in favor of During the pandemic, the EU was unable to produce a vaccine on its own, mainly due to the fact that not enough money is invested in research within its different member states. Gathering the strength of the 27 member states in research and health could be a real asset for the EU and its citizens, but also for its influence overseas and its independence. 0 1 1
E05145 The EU needs a European research center in favor of I think the problem in the EU is the incompetence to establish inventions in the market. There are lots of inventions that are made and funded by public EU research facilities brought into the market by small startups. In the end, they are picked like ripe fruits by the US or Chinese companies where the big money is made. 1 0 1
E05154 Public transport in EU cities should be free in favor of I think the EU should subsidies troubled cash-strapped cities to reduce ticket prices or completely remove any charges so that people are vivisected to hop on the bus rather than in the car. As I student, I would have been in the city center a lot more and spent money around the shops if I could afford the bus fair in the first place. 0 0 1
E06064 Every human has the right to receive reliable information about the movement and distribution of public funds in favor of We pay taxes and we have the right to see where our money goes.

E07180 There should be better EU relations with Russia in favor of Distance is very important when trading. Security is even more important in relation to distance. It is without thought to escalate conflict and it is not in the interest of Europe. Russia has centuries of history with European allies. It is in the interest of Europe to not leave Russia solely to China. We can all prosper. 0 0 1
E07239 Serbia should join the EU. in favor of The EU should continue its enlargement to the Western Balkans to further its own interests, and to bring stability and prosperity to the region. Serbia should have joined long ago. 0 0 1
E07276 The EU will dissolve within 10 years unless reformed in favor of Large bureaucratic organizations such as the EU are the product of the industrial age and unfortunately, without significant reforms, they will not survive the digital age. The digital age leads to decentralization and cost-efficiency such as a decentralized flow of information (e.g. Internet) and money (e.g. Bitcoin) without the need for centralized control which is very expensive to maintain (i.e. EU). 1 0 1
E08001 The EU should extend the model of Pooling & Sharing European military resources beyond air transport. in favor of Pooling & Sharing increases the size, availability, the diversity of specific military resources but decreases their global cost at the same time 1 0 1
