This is the reason that more than 80% of engineers are unemployable and the figures are even worse for the non-engineers. 1 0 0 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 D01095 We should subsidize higher education institutions in favor of Today no problem has a single solution and no new technology is related to a single discipline. We need multiple inputs from multiple disciplines and our institutes have failed in doing so. 1 0 0 D01096 We should subsidize higher education institutions in favor of Indian students perform brilliantly when they go to different countries in the field of research. It means that we don’t lack talent, we lack infrastructure and a healthy environment for our sharp minds. 1 0 0 D01097 We should subsidize higher education institutions in favor of We haven’t been paying our teachers on the scale of what their counterparts earn in other countries. As a result, people are reluctant to the idea of teaching as a career. We have also failed to lure successful foreign faculties to our institutes. 1 0 0 D01102 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming against Achieving excellence in anything takes time. Through graduation, students gain so much knowledge in the relevant field. So, it’s easier for employers to train these students for the industrial requirements. 1 0 0 D01103 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming in favor of Any skill can be learned and mastered even if we do not have a degree in that. And programming is no exception. 1 0 0 D01104 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming in favor of Even if someone has a degree in IT, they have to learn so many things to get into the IT job, because there is a gap between the industrial standards and the skills that are taught in Engineering colleges. Moreover, as technology is constantly evolving, even if someone has prepared themselves for the industrial standards in their graduation, they have to learn new technologies continuously to stay relevant in the job market. So, as the learning curve will be there even for IT students, students from non-IT backgrounds can also learn these things and can get into IT jobs. 1 0 0 D01105 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming in favor of The number of IT jobs is increasing at a rapid rate due to the tech revolution. So, there will be more jobs in the IT field. And if the recruiters are very strict about the degree, they may miss a large pool of talent, who are of a non-IT background.  1 0 0 D01106 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming in favor of Now, we have so many online course platforms through which we can learn almost any skill from experts. We can also get certificates if we pass the tests. So, as Tim Cook said a 4-year degree seems old and traditional.  1 0 0 D01107 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming in favor of In many of India’s engineering colleges, we can easily pass the subjects even if do not have much knowledge in those subjects. That is the reason many companies are not able to find suitable talent even if there are so many eligible graduates. So, the willingness to become an expert in the field is more important than a degree.  1 0 0 D01108 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming against If a student from non-IT background chose to start a career in the IT field, the efforts they put into graduation will go in vain. 1 1 0 D01109 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming against Even though the new programming languages are replacing the old ones, the basic concepts are the same for almost all the programming languages. So, the one who has a degree in coding will have an advantage over the student from a non-IT background. 1 0 0 D01110 IT recruiters should consider skills instead of a degree in programming in favor of People switch careers even after working in one field for several years because our interests do change. So, when someone can do this while having so many personal responsibilities, it is much easier for youngsters to learn a new skill.  1 0 0 D01111 We should adapt the viable pay incentive scheme in favor of Variable pay definitely increases the productivity of employees. High-performing individuals feel well-compensated and rewarded for their efforts, while the under-performing ones also feel motivated to improve. 1 0 1 D01112 We should adapt the viable pay incentive scheme in favor of In variable pay schemes, the employees feel content and motivated with their work. They feel that they are an active part of the organization, the organization recognizes them as a part of its growth and values their efforts. 1 0 1 D01113 We should adapt the viable pay incentive scheme in favor of Variable pay helps in retaining valuable employees. This helps in retaining good talent for long periods of time and thereby, less spending on hiring new talents. This provides stability to the organization. 1 0 0 D01114 We should adapt the viable pay incentive scheme against It has been seen that it is difficult to retain employees in lean times when they are on variable pay schemes. Workers who receive commissions do well when business is good, but they do poorly when business is bad. In times of slow business, even top salespeople might have difficulty making enough sales to earn a decent living. If the market is slow and commissioned workers can’t earn enough, they may look for other employment opportunities. In lean times, fixed wages can be more effective at keeping employees from leaving for other opportunities. 1 0 1 D01116 We should adapt the viable pay incentive scheme against Mostly, sales jobs have a variable component. This might negatively impact the employee’s attitude towards customers. They may force the customers irrationally just to make profits for themselves. They might overstate the price to the customers just to make more profit. Whereas, an employee with a fixed salary would maintain healthy and positive relations with the customers, striking the right balance in their approach. 0 0 1 D01128 Artificial intelligence brings more harm than good in favor of We have started losing our basic human habits and instincts, and are actually governed by devices and apps. 1 1 0 D01140 The world does not need religion anymore in favor of Religion has served its purpose of uniting people, setting up structures in society, and developing trust and cooperation. But in the 21st century, we are thriving towards objective realities, and religion is an inter-subjective reality and now the only thing it does is create differences in the world, brainwash people, develop animosity for other beliefs, and provide rituals that are just shortcuts to becoming a good person. (A Muslim may pray 5 times a day; a Hindu may pray daily for hours in temples; a Christian may go to church every day, but still, be involved in immoral activities). 1 0 0 D01141 The world does not need religion anymore in favor of In the past, every unknown thing dealt with religious beliefs. But now Science & Technology has taken over everything. We know the reasons for drought, earthquakes, windstorms, etc. they are scientific phenomena and not the wrath of gods anymore. 1 0 0 D02013 We should forbid neo-banks against Due to their technological nature, neo-banks do not need any physical bank branches, which helps them save on overhead costs (the cost of running the business). Thus, neo-banks are able to offer lower fees and higher interest rates on checking and savings accounts to customers. 1 0 1 D02014 We should forbid neo-banks in favor of People don’t trust neo-banks as much because they don’t have a physical presence, which makes them a risk for customers in case of any issues or challenges. In-person customer service may appear more trustworthy to customers. 1 0 0 D02015 We should forbid neo-banks in favor of Tech literacy is still very low in India. Traditional banks can meet the banking requirements of less tech-savvy customers or people in rural areas of the country who prefer face-to-face interaction with the manager. 1 0 1 D02016 We should forbid neo-banks in favor of Commercial banks help to create credit, which leads to increased production, employment, and consumer spending, all of which help to grow the economy. 1 0 0 D02017 We should forbid neo-banks against Since neo-banks are completely digital, they operate 24 hours a day and their services can be accessed at any time. They are easy to access from anywhere through a smartphone. 1 1 0 D02019 5G services should be available across India in favor of 5G in banking will bring much-needed financial inclusion to India’s rural and remote populations, for whom access to a physical bank is not possible. 1 1 0 D02020 5G services should be available across India in favor of The low latency of 5G will enable the inclusion of education in remote areas of India, where children will be able to access good quality education at home without any network lag between them and their favorite tutor. Also, 5G will make it possible to use new-age technologies like AR and VR for more immersive learning in schools and colleges. 1 0 0 D02021 5G services should be available across India in favor of 5G will vastly increase the number of networks that can be connected, handling up to a trillion Internet of Things terminals, which will enable machines and humans in a factory to communicate with each other seamlessly, making the business more efficient and reducing the possibility of error. 1 0 0 D02022 5G services should be available across India in favor of The government will be able to improve its governance and give a boost to its digital India initiative, which aims to ensure the government’s services are made available to citizens electronically, making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. 1 0 0 D02032 Social media is making us less social in favor of A few people now have social anxiety due to not having enough face-to-face interactions. When we avoid talking to people for a long time, automatically we develop a fear to involve in small talk. 1 0 0 D02034 Social media is making us less social in favor of In the book “iGen”, it was mentioned that in the next decade we may see more young people who know just the right emoji for a situation — but not the right facial expression. This can become true if we prefer virtual life over real life. 1 0 0 D02036 NEET exam should be banned against NEET exam standardizes the entrance criterion for medical education across the country. As a high score is required to get into government medical colleges, the exam ensures meritocracy. 1 0 0 D02037 NEET exam should be banned against But every year, less than 20% of the students are passing the exam. By this, it is evident that the quality of medical education in other countries where Indian students are studying is not at par with the medical education in India. So, it is very important to take steps to provide affordable and high-quality medical education in India. 1 0 0 D02038 NEET exam should be banned in favor of As the exam requires additional study, coaching centers are taking advantage of the situation and are charging lakhs of rupees for the coaching for the NEET exam. So, due to this, students who cannot afford the coaching are at a disadvantage. 1 0 0 D02039 NEET exam should be banned in favor of Students work hard to score well in class 12 exams, but all that hard work is not recognized. And only the NEET score is considered for entry into medical college, which is very unfair. Moreover, the NEET exam is mainly based on the CBSE curriculum. So, state board students have to study additional things to get a good score on the exam. 1 1 0 D02040 NEET exam should be banned in favor of A high score in the NEET exam is required to get admission to government medical colleges in India. It costs approximately Rs.1.25 crores to study in private medical colleges in India. So, many students are forced to go to other countries such as China, Ukraine, Russia, the Philippines, etc. to pursue medical education. In those countries, medical education costs around Rs.35 lakhs. Moreover, they allow students with low NEET scores, but above cut-off marks. 1 0 0 D02047 Companies should fight moonlighting against Some people moonlight to pursue their passion when the earnings from their passion cannot replace the salary from their main job. Several entrepreneurs take this route and leave their jobs once they earn enough from their new ventures. 1 0 1 D02048 Companies should fight moonlighting against As per a study published by the Academy of Management Journal in 2021, moonlighting can provide a sense of control and motivation, which can improve the productivity of employees. 1 0 1 D02050 Companies should fight moonlighting against Moonlighting can help in upskilling. A few people want to learn new skills apart from what they are working on in their primary job. This can help them in developing expertise in their field. Some might get bored with monotonous jobs and hence take up second jobs to learn new skills and thereby make their days exciting. 1 0 0 D02051 Companies should fight moonlighting in favor of Companies fear information and sensitive data theft and the possibility of sharing it with their rival companies. 1 0 0 D02052 Companies should fight moonlighting in favor of Some managers are worrying that the employees who moonlight may not be productive in their primary job due to fatigue and increased stress. There are also concerns about working for other companies during the office hours of my primary job. 1 0 0 D02053 Companies should fight moonlighting in favor of In general, companies provide several benefits to employees such as provident fund, health insurance, etc. So, they feel it is unfair when their employees focus their energy and time on a second job, which doesn’t provide any of those benefits. 1 0 0 D02071 We should stop using cash in favor of A cashless economy saves so much money for governments because printing money, and sending the money to banks requires money and human resources. The need to purchase or rent land for ATMs will also be eliminated. International payments will also be easier because there is no need to exchange currency. 0 0 1 D02076 We should stop using cash against Technical issues in banking can halt access to our money. This can interfere with our daily lives. 0 0 1 D02079 All countries should take responsibility for accepting refugees in favor of All countries should share the responsibility for refugees. Resettlement of the refugees should be done without much delay. They should be provided with skill development courses and employment opportunities to help them in living a dignified life. 1 0 0 D02080 All countries should take responsibility for accepting refugees in favor of A weak global response is worsening the situation of refugees. The international community should help in rebuilding the war-torn countries, where refugees are coming from, so that safe and dignified returns are possible for refugees. Refugees should not be forcibly sent to their home countries. 0 1 0 D02082 We should have psychological counseling in educational institutions in favor of In general, a few teachers punish students, who are not scoring well in exams but they do not even try to understand whether they have any learning disabilities. This causes self-esteem issues in students. Psychologists can detect these learning disabilities and can detect these issues and can collaborate with teachers to draft teaching strategies that are suitable for students with learning disabilities. 1 0 0 D02083 We should have psychological counseling in educational institutions in favor of Many students struggle with several issues such as anxiety, self-esteem issues, trouble forming friendships, etc. Guidance and support are very important to help them overcome these problems. So, educational institutions should have mental health professionals to help students. 1 0 0 D03001 We should have psychological counseling in educational institutions in favor of Some students do not even understand what they are going through, they may not even know how to ask for help. Having a counselor at their educational institution will help them a lot in understanding their issues. Moreover, they will learn how to ask for advice and help. 1 0 0 D03007 College education should be free for everyone in favor of When college education is free, the number of graduates will drastically increase. At present, many people do not have access to higher education. So many students are not joining colleges due to the financial status of their parents. Free education will be very helpful for them. 1 0 0 D03008 College education should be free for everyone in favor of At present, the rich are getting richer and poor people are getting poorer. A free college education will reduce social inequality too because as everyone can study and learn the skills in college, everyone will have an equal opportunity to settle in the career of their choice. 1 1 0 D03010 College education should be free for everyone in favor of There is a shortage of skilled workers in many countries. When college education is free, this problem will be solved. 1 0 0 D03011 College education should be free for everyone against At present, private investments in education led to improvement in the quality of education. Without the commercialization of education, the quality of education may not improve much. 1 0 1 D03012 India should have 'One Nation - One Election' policy in favor of Less disruption to public life, less road traffic, and less loss to our economy. As all the government staff can be used at a single time, we can also increase vigilance, and factors like black money, booth capturing, etc. can be reduced. 1 1 0 D03013 India should have 'One Nation - One Election' policy against Holding both elections together will also mean mixing up the national issues with those of the state. The national issues would overpower the state which in turn would get less priority from the politicians. 0 1 0 D03014 India should have 'One Nation - One Election' policy against When state elections are conducted along with the center the regional parties may get marginalized because the same party getting majority in the center may get votes in the state as well. 0 1 0 D03015 India should have 'One Nation - One Election' policy against Frequent elections in the country will bring politicians back to the public frequently whereas cutting down on elections would mean making them lazy for the rest of the term and suddenly becoming overactive during the election year. 1 0 0 D03032 India should accept Rohingya refugees in favor of Rohingyas have their own set of ethnicity and culture. By accepting them, we will just be adding more culture to the already-vast culture of India. 0 1 0 D03034 India should accept Rohingya refugees in favor of Acceptance of the Rohingyas will definitely throw a good impression of the hospitality of our country to the foreign land. This will improve India’s chances to secure permanent membership in United Nations Security Council (UNSC). 0 1 0 D03038 Marital rape should be criminalized in India against The most misused law in the Indian judicial system is Section 498A, which allows women to file a case on a husband and his family in case of dowry harassment. Many women are using this law to extort money and property from their in-laws. If the law on marital rape comes into effect, many innocent men will be at threat. 0 0 1 D03039 Marital rape should be criminalized in India in favor of Sexual violence violates human rights, irrespective of the relationship between the criminal and the victim. IPC 375, which criminalizes rape, discriminates against married women for using the section on their husbands. Though one can file a case under the domestic violence act for marital rape, not terming marital rape as a crime will deter the victims from filing cases. Every law on the planet is prone to be misused. That doesn’t mean that we should not have laws in order to avoid false cases. 0 1 0 D03041 Cryptocurrencies should be legalized against There will be no sense of security. We cannot sleep peacefully because the cryptocurrency’s value keeps on fluctuating. Standard currencies fluctuate too, but not as high as cryptocurrencies. If the value of standard currency falls, we can still afford to live in our country, because the fall of currency value impacts all fields. For example, if the prices of groceries rise, so do our salaries. But if the value of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin falls, we will lose our hard-earned money. 0 0 1 D03042 Cryptocurrencies should be legalized in favor of The future belongs to technology. Cryptocurrencies make peer-to-peer financial transactions a lot easier. This currency can be sent from any part of the world to any part of the world. Hence there will be no struggle of exchanging currencies like Dollars for the Rupee etc. While traveling the world, there will no hurdle of exchanging our currencies with local currencies. 1 0 0 D03054 Kids' reality shows should be banned against Reality shows give opportunity for children to bring out their hidden talents and to train their skills. It gives them a sense of purpose and direction from a very young age. The present education system doesn’t include other career options such as singing, acting, dancing, games, etc. Reality shows closes this loophole in the education system. 1 0 0 D03055 Kids' reality shows should be banned in favor of Reality shows put enormous pressure on participants to perform well every time. Children cannot handle this stress, and this may cause mental health issues. Almost all reality shows involve the process of eliminating participants one by one at each level. Facing defeat in front of everyone is not that easy for children. This may put an emotional toll on children. 1 0 0 D27004 We can rely on Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoins against If value of standard currency falls, we can still afford to live in our country, because the fall of currency value impacts all fields.

For the year 2017-18, India's imports from China are worth $76.2 billion dollars, whereas India's exports to China are worth $33 billion dollars. So, there is a need to reduce this trade deficit. 1 0 0 D27051 Chinese products should be banned in India in favor of Imports from China are hurting the businesses of Indian manufacturers, especially Medium Small & Micro Enterprises (MSME) sector.

Producers and directors are pushing star kids to launch in their movies, failing to judge their acting skills and screen presence. This leads to flop movies and a loss of quality and standards of the Indian cinemas. 1 0 0 D27096 Nepotism exists in Bollywood against Star kids also have an upbringing which is surrounded by the Bollywood industry. This gives them an advantage of getting adjusted and having a clearer overview of the industry. This might help them learn faster and do better which an outsider might not be able to. 1 0 0 E01002 Electric cars are not a solution to air pollution in favor of It would be smarter and cheaper to develop and encourage limited speed, low consumption shared thermal cars, and abandon the myth of owning a car. 1 0 0 E01013 Biogas plants should be assessed on the basis of their efficiency in favor of Maize biogas plants need more energy to operate than they supply.

It would simply make the more environmentally friendly products cheaper than the others and their production economically smarter. 1 0 1 E01021 Companies should pay for the environmental damage cause by their products in favor of In a capitalist system in which all environmental and social and health costs of everybody affected would be internalized in the pricing of a product, the market could solve most problems. 1 0 0 E01022 Businesses should buy unused emissions by reforesting, restoration, or conservation of habitats sequestrating carbon in favor of This would strengthen the carbon sinks across Europa. 1 0 0 E01030 Gas and nuclear power should be supported with money from European countries against If we continue investing in climate and environmentally damaging, regressive, and immensely expensive nuclear power plants or technologies is a mockery of the world and a waste of money and time that we can use for sustainable investments and transformations. 0 0 1 E01039 Electric cars are not a solution to air pollution against It's by no means irrelevant what kind of cars people use; 25% renewable + 25% nuclear + 50% combustible is better than 100% combustible gasoline. 1 0 0 E01053 The best way to save the world from climate change and protect the environment is to encourage everyone to start with themselves and look at what things they can do to help with this problem against This idea is what we have been doing for the last 30 years. It did not produce sufficient results to justify continuing on this path. It is just saying, that problem will solve itself. This proposition is harmful and does not stand on any data that could justify it. 1 0 0 E01054 The best way to save the world from climate change and protect the environment is to encourage everyone to start with themselves and look at what things they can do to help with this problem against It is not about blaming others. It is about seeing the situation as it is. Recognizing patterns, reasons, and consequences of our behavior. We do not make our choices in a vacuum. If it is easier and cheaper to live not sustainably, people will do it, even if they are conscious of the consequences. 0 0 1 E01055 The best way to save the world from climate change and protect the environment is to encourage everyone to start with themselves and look at what things they can do to help with this problem against We should arrange our cities, our economy, and politics so that it is easy for people to behave ecologically responsibly.

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 E01074 Devices with batteries should be designed so that batteries can be replaced in favor of And not just the batteries. The EU should have an overall policy with a clear goal to restrict and reduce planned obsolescence. 1 0 0 E01084 Climate neutrality can be achieved only by nuclear energy in favor of if we want stable, reliable energy grid we need a nuclear energy source. Solar energy and wind are not reliable, need a lot of batteries, and can not be a sole solution for the energy grid. 1 0 0 E01091 Europe should put a GreenTax on top of all imports from highly polluting countries in favor of taxation seems to be the only real way to incentivize other countries less worried about climate change to work on it 1 1 0 E01111 We need stricter and homogeneous environmental legislation across the EU in favor of As the sustainability goals of the UN contain working conditions, human rights, environmental & climate issues together with questions of governance, they are ideal to incentivize sustainability in all sectors and fend off unsustainable practices and competition. 1 0 0 E02002 A coordination hub should be set up with representatives of institutions that can act to facilitate the integration of refugees in favor of Such a hub could also have a bridging role between local necessities and opportunities at the EU level, such as project funding. 1 0 0 E02006 British people who are residents in an EU country should have EU-wide rights in favor of I think this is a good idea, but unfortunately it's framed as a British/brexit issue. However, the wider concept of a common EU visa / migration system is a compelling one. Harmonising the system to a common visa regime offers many advantages. 1 0 0 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 E02011 Equal pay for equal work should apply as a principle in the country in which you work, regardless of where you come from in favor of This will add to the transparency and fair competition. Insincere employers shouldn't have an advantage, and in essence, it would be beneficial for all EU members, not just the workers. 0 0 1 E02015 European Union should help young people to train in refugee countries in favor of This should help to tackle the causes of lack of prospects and absconding from these countries in order to increase the willingness of young people to stay in their homes 1 0 0 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 E02021 Immigrants should receive help from the EU through integration programs in favor of It's only anecdotal evidence, but I have noticed in the high schools in my area that the children from migrants are more able to participate in after-school activities when their language is developed further. Children, of course, still go to school on a daily basis, which means that they automatically are taking part in language lessons. However, seeing the positive results in language learning in these children, I can imagine that their parents would benefit in the same way if they were given the opportunity to follow language lessons (ideally low-budget/free). 1 0 0 E02023 Immigrants should receive help from the EU through integration programs against No, Europe is not a colony. Immigration has been devastating. Public EU officials who support immigration should be named and the European people must be given a democratic opportunity to remove them from positions of power and influence. 0 1 0 E02024 Immigrants should receive help from the EU through integration programs against We have millions of poor true Europeans that we can help, why help migrant who have nothing in common with us? 1 0 0 E02025 Immigrants should receive help from the EU through integration programs in favor of Most of the time migrants have trouble fitting into society because of the language barrier and hate. Providing them with language lessons could reduce the tensions around migration, and improve the migrants' integration. 1 0 0 E02026 Immigrants should receive help from the EU through integration programs in favor of Knowledge of the host country's language is essential for integration. When migrants understand the local language, studies show that their values tend towards those of the host countries over time. 1 0 0 E02027 Immigrants should receive help from the EU through integration programs in favor of It is essential that European principles and values are taught to migrants, including an explanation of the reasoning behind these principles and values. It would be best that this is provided both in the person's mother tongue and in the language of the host country. 1 0 0 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 E02032 Migrants should be housed in EU bureaucrats' neighborhoods in favor of EU bureaucrats who have enabled immigration must be named and a democratic process for removing them from power must be put into place. Democracy must prevail over this multicultural fascism. 0 1 0 E02034 NGO boats should have an government representative on board to make sure they aren't people trafficking against NGO boats should be forbidden, only Frontex should intervene to bring them home 0 1 0 E02037 The EU leadership must enter into strong agreements with the countries where immigrants come from, in order to retain them in their countries against If we want to uphold to our standards and what the EU represents, we shall help those immigrants and give them the tools to help us make our homes better and multicultural so when the chance is presented they can then have a way to help their countries. Simply blocking them out of our region and neglecting them won't solve anything. We will only make unnecessary enemies. 1 0 0 E02038 The EU needs a reorientation of migration and asylum policy against The World, in particular Africa and the Middle East, is experiencing a huge population explosion. They seem not to be able to cope with it as China did. Who is going to take all these millions of refugees which result from it? Also, consider that the integration of one non-western immigrant costs 167.000 euros. If the EU intends to survive it has to stop more or less all migration. 0 1 0 E02039 The EU needs s common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment in favor of We need to ensure fair redistribution of refugees across Europe and ensure better integration of refugees and applicants for international protection into the workplace. More concrete and fairer European policy on economic migration, to establish legal channels for entry and to foster an integration policy based on respect for rights and equal treatment of both local and migrant workers, as a key tool to address the social impact of migration flows. 0 1 0 E02040 The EU needs strong advertising and recruitment strategies for students and qualified employees in favor of The EU should attract the world's most talented and most entrepreneurial. There was an attempt to reform the blue card directive by the Junker commission in order to create a new streamlined EU-wide visa category, similar to the short-lived Schengen visa. The holder of the new blue-card-like visa would have the entire EU labor market at their disposal. 1 1 0 E02041 The EU needs strong advertising and recruitment strategies for students and qualified employees in favor of The EU has, for too long, seen a net exodus or brain drain of highly qualified people. 1 0 0 E02042 The EU needs strong advertising and recruitment strategies for students and qualified employees in favor of Compared to most anglophone countries, Europe has been quite timid in attracting talent across the globe. Too few people know of and make use of the EU Blue Card. The EU is a destination of choice for migration and refugees from developing and some neighboring countries. 1 0 0 E02043 The EU should have common taxation and social policy in favor of The future is 'work mobility'; thus we need to simplify taxation, enhance remote working opportunities, and enable inter-country recruitment for companies. 1 0 0 E02044 The EU should have open borders with poor countries against Many migrants simply refuse to fight to change things in their own countries. Once a migrant told me 'I want what you have, why should I sweat to build it back in my country when here it's ready to be taken?' No thanks. 1 0 0 E02045 The EU should have open borders with poor countries against If we need work force, we should look for Europeans to come, not for Afrikans, Arabic, and Muslims. 1 0 0 E02046 The EU should have open borders with poor countries in favor of People born in Africa or poor countries look for a better place for their kids to grow up, where there is no war, and where there is food, good education, and health systems. 1 0 0 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 E02052 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 It is necessary that member states better share the efforts of receiving asylum seekers upon arrival at EU borders and do not leave this responsibility to frontline countries. The EU should develop a joint approach to support the frontline countries to assure that asylum seeker are provided adequate care, assistance, and protection upon arrival and are quickly distributed evenly throughout the EU for status determination. 1 1 0 E02055 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment against More illegal and legal migration will lead to more unemployment, lower wages, more insecurity, and less sustainable social systems. 0 0 1 E02057 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment against I disagree, each country must be sovereign to establish its migration policy and no EU quotas should be accepted. 0 1 0 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 E02061 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment in favor of There is a need for a balance between solidarity and responsibility. A reform of the Dublin system is needed, but the revision work has not moved an inch since 2019. There have been attempts of making progress in adopting a common European asylum system and forming an EU-wide resettlement system with sufficient financial incentives, while also stressing its aim to closely monitor migration routes and maintain situational awareness. This issue should be enhanced on a European level, as we never know when there will be a new crisis at our hands, this time caused by climate change and environmental disasters forcing people to go into diaspora and search for a safe haven. 0 1 0 E02062 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment against The EU should treat economic migrants with more vigilance. They cannot be the solution to the aging European population. We need more focus on border control to curb illegal migration. 1 1 0 E02064 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment in favor of Migrant workers are overrepresented in the most precarious jobs, they are too often underpaid, they work under intolerable working conditions, and live in horrendous housing facilities. Workers are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. And they continue to encounter inhumane working and living conditions because effective enforcement is lacking. Trade unions are often not allowed on worksites with precarious jobs and migrant workers can therefore not adequately be informed about their labor and trade union rights. Third-country nationals are even more vulnerable than EU migrant/mobile workers. 0 1 0 E02065 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment in favor of Although there is an immense increase in the number of TCN migrant workers, there is no adequate policy in protecting their rights. Anyone in Europe should be entitled to the same worker’s rights, no matter where they come from. As migration is an issue that is dealt with by all countries, we must find a common answer at the EU level. 0 1 0 E02068 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment against Each country must have the right to choose based on a democratic vote, how many immigrants they want to accept. The question of immigrants depends on each country's reality and culture: this must be managed at the local level. 0 1 0 E02069 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment against We should not bring the problem to Europe, but we should rather help where it is needed in their region! 0 1 0 E02070 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment against Giving immigrants more rights will lead to the forced displacement and eventual erasure of indigenous Europeans. This is criminal. If what's happening to the Uyghurs and Tibetans in China is genocide then so is this. This idea proposal is not grassroots, it's astroturfed lies to hide the fact that our migration policies are totally undemocratic and forced onto native Europeans. 0 1 0 E02072 We need a common migration and asylum policy, based on respect for rights and equal treatment against The nations must have the final say regarding whom they want to allow to live on their sovereign territories. 0 1 0 E02073 We need to change the immigration policy to prevent illegal crossing against Mass immigration is the biggest existential threat to the EU. The UNCHR has already 70 million registered refugees, mainly from Africa and the ME. In Africa 400 million like to come to the EU. Almost all people are without a useful education. There is no other solution than an, almost, total stop to immigration. 1 0 0 E02076 We need to develop partnership between the EU and the AU (African Union) in favor of The migration pressure from Africa towards Europe results from a significant difference in perceived quality of life. It is in the interest of the EU and its member states to reduce that difference by working with the AU to level up and develop African nations. 1 0 0 E03003 The European Union should implement a EU wide carbon tax in favor of Yes, and it should be payed out to every citizen of the EU. Those people with a lower CO2 footprint - typically lower income family - would greatly benefit from it and be incentivized to invest in cleaner energy, heating etc. 0 0 1 E03009 The EU should promote organizations that teach the national language via Esperanto in favor of Esperanto should be promoted as an international lingua franca. Esperanto is an efficient and expressive means of cross-cultural communication, allowing high degrees of inclusion. 1 0 0 E03010 The European Union's asylum system needs to implement its humanitarian principles in favor of Give those who want to come a fair & secure possibility to do so & send those back who really damage your society. Give training, support, opportunities. My guess is that most will pay back with their contributions. 1 0 0 E03011 The European Union's asylum system needs to implement its humanitarian principles in favor of We already have successful programs for students from refugee camps. Enhance that. 1 0 0 E03029 We need integrated rail transport systems, agreements between various railway operators and a simple and accessible search engine in favor of Take as example airplanes - how so, that it is so common to be able to search for tickets using one of many webpages or apps, but we actually cannot do the same for trains? Trains are more ecological. 1 0 0 E03030 There should be an EU citizenship against If we do have an EU citizenship we will have an EU country and EU already proved to be no good dealing with problems and is extremely undemocratic and not listening to the people. 1 1 0 E03032 We need integrated rail transport systems, agreements between various railway operators and a simple and accessible search engine in favor of There are countries like Greece to which to my knowledge is no train connection from other EU countries at all. That should be a top priority for the EU! 1 0 0 E03039 We need integrated rail transport systems, agreements between various railway operators and a simple and accessible search engine in favor of This would help to plan the most efficient and economical itinerary 1 0 1 E03040 The European Union should implement a EU wide carbon tax in favor of Yes, but the tax should be progressive per capita. This will ensure that we tax mostly overuse of resources and avoid increasing wealth inequality of the poor. 0 0 1 E03051 The European Union should enforce the energy transition in its member states in favor of why should every country in the EU be sovereign in energy production? Within the countries also not every region is sovereign in this sense. We need to take advantage of the geographic potentials of the european continent for pragmatic solutions 1 1 0 E03063 The European Union should hold a referendum to decide on immigration in favor of Absolutely right! If the eurocrats cared about what the people want, they'd ask them. 0 1 0 E03066 The European Union's asylum system needs to implement its humanitarian principles in favor of We should think of more opportunities to enter the EU legally. Many people come illegally, because we refuse them opportunities to come, stay a while for work or education and maybe go back later. People die because of that nonsense. 1 0 0 E03067 The European Union's asylum system needs to implement its humanitarian principles in favor of I recently read that especially African families tend to send their smartest, best educated youngsters abroad to improve the family situation. These people are desperately needed both for the future of their home countries and for our future. We need skilled & educated people in many sectors, but sends such people back to their home countries, because they were unfortunate enough to be refugees. 1 0 0 E03077 We need integrated rail transport systems, agreements between various railway operators and a simple and accessible search engine in favor of It has to work like with air travel: Book a coherent journey from A to B operated by different companies, and be sure that if something goes wrong, there will be a solution (rebooking, ...). 1 0 0 E04002 We need to invest in nuclear energy against Nuclear energy simply is too expensive and hence economically not viable. According to the researchers at RethinkX, we will see a clean energy disruption in the next ten years which will leave investments in oil, coal and nuclear stranded. 0 0 1 E04020 Immigrants should learn the language of their host country. in favor of Helping migrants learn the language and culture of the country they are living in are critical to successful integration. Language and norms of the job market and workplace should also be built in. 1 0 0 E04023 We need an inclusive language for all citizens of the world: the Esperanto. against If there are language problems, we need to work on national integration systems, e.g. in France where English is being thought in French. language. 1 0 0 E04025 We need an inclusive language for all citizens of the world: the Esperanto. against English is ideal as it is spoken internationally as the language of commerce, travel, and political exchange. Esperanto isn't. 1 0 0 E04028 We need better ways of migration. in favor of Migration is part of being human and has always happened throughout history. 1 0 0 E04034 Europe is getting older and should be open to more migration from Asia, and southeast Asia. in favor of We need to accept more immigrants to combat the aging of the European population. Immigrants do also grow old but before then they generally have children. 1 0 0 E04043 We need legal ways of migration. against Migrants have a complete lack of critical thinking. 1 0 0 E04054 The European Union should be harder towards irreparable migrants, those who do not value their lives in peace, security, and prosperity. against Migrants have an enormous amount to offer in energy, new ideas, and cultures. Why this emphasis on imaginary 'takeovers'? 1 0 0 E04070 We need Integrated migration and border policy. against Migration has totally gotten out of control. The EU refuses to see the magnitude of it. Hundreds of millions like to migrate. All people without the right language and fitting education. The massive numbers of immigrants threaten the existence of EU societies, through crime, poverty, and housing shortage. 0 0 1 E04071 We need Integrated migration and border policy. against Refugees can obtain a visa at an Embassy in one of the 54 African countries. All other immigrants must be returned within a week of arrival. 0 1 0 E04082 There should be no immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries in favor of I am happy to see that the ide of haling all immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries is still going strong. This message needs to be communicated to Brussels very clearly. 0 1 0 E04083 We do not want immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries in favor of No more non-European immigration. The native Europeans have said NO. 0 1 0 E04090 We do not need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries against Migration has been a fact of history and successful societies have found ways to turn migration into strength. In our case in order to alleviate the current challenge in the long term we need to alleviate migration pressure by making it attractive for migrants to stay put and help develop their own countries. Such a helpful project, a European Marshal Plan for Africa would be a good project to invest in. The long-term return on investment would be more than financial: A friendly neighbor continent, good relationships, access to the African market, and natural resources. That is not a short-term fix. And there is no short-term fix. We have to play the long game! 1 0 0 E04097 We don't need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries. in favor of We should halt all immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries into the EU. However, if we want to stop this immigration, we must stop its causes. Indeed, it is war, poverty, and European, Chinese and American neo-colonialism that make the people of African and Middle Eastern countries flee to Europe. So Europe must finally take responsibility and protect these countries from corruption, war, and neo-colonialism and help them to start their economy. 1 0 0 E04103 There should be no illegal migration in favor of We must stop all loopholes - for example automatically rejecting asylum claims of anyone who enters Europe illegally. 0 1 0 E04105 There should be no immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries against In Conclusion, we should say: 'Europeans go home. Go home, leave every part of the world where we are making business, exploiting cheap labor, rare minerals, selling arms, invading foreign countries and exporting democracy, etc. ' 0 0 1 E04108 We do not need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries. in favor of There's nothing wrong with not wanting your continent to become chaos and putting your people first, every civilization in this world takes that idea as self-evident. We need to negotiate Remigration deals with the 3rd countries to send their nationals back and we need to use Frontex to push back any migrants coming to our borders. 0 1 0 E04110 The EU should immediately end the refugee deal with Turkey. against Immigration should not be part of humanitarian aid. Humanitarian aid should be delivered directly to Africa / Asia. The Turkey deal should eventually be abolished. 1 0 0 E04112 Humanitarian organizations should be financially responsible in relation to illegal immigration. in favor of A humanitarian association that helps a migrant to enter the EU illegally, should be required to provide financial support in dignified conditions. 0 0 1 E04121 We don't need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries. in favor of Our Europe continent is in debt and doesn't have the resources to care for people who have never paid taxes and continue to disregard our laws! We have enough poor people in Europe already and we need to take care of them! 0 0 1 E04124 We need an inclusive and pluralistic European society against Europe is full and cannot accept more illegal migrants. Those persons must be sent back and have to ask for approval from their state of origin. 0 1 0 E04128 There should be 6 concrete proposals for migrants on the Balkan route. in favor of The proposal of the Sardines to reform EU asylum policy is an excellent proposal, well and thoroughly written. 1 0 0 E04130 We need a better distribution of refugees against The key to successful immigration depends upon the possibility of employment. So EU members are to decide whom they want to admit. 0 1 0 E04140 There should be no illegal migration in favor of This is just evidence. Immigration will be one of the most difficult topics in the next decades (or even years) due to the insane demographic rates the world is suffering nowadays, so immigration has to be closely monitored and all illegal immigration has to be blocked. 0 1 0 E04144 We need a single immigration policy. in favor of We do need migrants, from an ethical and practical point of view. Europe is old and archaic in most of its practices. Innovation is failing and the best we can do is defend the status quo and the old people in power. 1 0 0 E04148 We need a better EU migration policy. in favor of The EU is driving in the dark with the lights switch off. 1 0 0 E04157 There should be no immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries in favor of Marvelous to see this idea of halting immigration receive the most endorsements on the migration topic. This is really not going according to plan for the globalists! 1 1 0 E05001 We need an inclusive and pluralistic European society in favor of Complex problems are faced by deepening study, not by pretending they don't exist. 1 1 0 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. And in the case of the EU, the core business is economy, trade, and security. That's where the focus should be. 1 0 1 E05003 The EU should focus more on ensuring the success of the internal market, and on improving its competitiveness in favor of The more dynamic the economy, the stronger the innovation and worldwide influence the EU will have, including soft power. 0 1 0 E05004 The EU should focus more on ensuring the success of the internal market, and on improving its competitiveness in favor of The Covid-19 pandemic showed us that the European Union is not able to come up with technological innovations that could strengthen our economic position. 1 1 1 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 E05013 The EU should improve public management and anti-corruption mechanisms in favor of The EU needs to focus on simplifying and standardizing European processes and procedures associated with public management and creating efficient and effective anti-corruption mechanisms. This will reduce the financial resources to be made available to the most relevant areas of intervention at the EU, country, and regional Levels. 1 0 1 E05016 The EU should put more pressure on the non-euro area member states to adopt the single currency against There is a reason why these states don't want to join the common currency: their economies are more flexible and doing far better without it. If we really want more countries to start using the euro, we need to make the euro better, not pressure or force others into our inefficient system. 1 0 0 E05018 The EU should equalize the retirement age for all Europeans. against Retirement is often funded by taxes and taxes are decided by each member state. So each member state should also be the one who decides how those taxes are spent. For some countries, a retirement age of 65 may be unaffordable or undesirable, while for others it may not. 0 1 0 E05019 Food health and industry companies should be located within the EU in favor of The COVID crisis has shown, that we are very vulnerable. Critical industries must stay in Europe. Infrastructure in the EU especially critical infrastructure must remain under full and absolute European control. 0 1 0 E05020 Food health and industry companies should be located within the EU in favor of It will bring the EU more jobs, less unemployment, and more added value. 1 0 1 E05025 Catalan should be an official language of the European Parliament in favor of There are languages that are spoken by fewer people and are official 1 1 0 E05026 We need to ensure improvements to the European Union's decision-making processes with increased transparency and accountability against The European Parliament in its current form is completely inadequate at representing the interests of all citizens, including the labor force. I cannot agree to give it more power until it is ensured that the MEPs are more responsive to their constituents. Electing them from individual election districts (not lists) and reducing their mandate to 2-3 years would be a good first step. 1 0 0 E05027 We need to ensure improvements to the European Union's decision-making processes with increased transparency and accountability in favor of Real democracy cannot do without economic democracy. If the major decisions about our future life (investments, inventions, production) are made outside social control, then there is no real democracy. Without proper social consultation, there is no prospect for a fair Europe. 0 1 0 E05028 The president of the European Commission should be elected by the people of the EU in favor of The undemocratic nature and perception of the presidency and the commission were used very effectively during the Brexit referendum campaign to change the minds of even the most reasonable pro-EU and anti-Brexit voters as EU political representatives were already remote and inaccessible to many people, with unrecognized names, faces, and campaign points. 1 1 0 E05029 The president of the European Commission should be elected by the people of the EU in favor of Having leaders with great power across Europe that nobody directly voted for is of great concern. Unless the EU radically democratizes the presidency (creating the position which failed several referenda) as well as the commission, it will be used again and again to stoke anti-EU sentiment. 1 0 0 E05030 The EU should set up physical offices, where citizens can address their concerns about Europe in favor of As we are transitioning into a more extensive digital age every day we still should not forget that as we age it gets harder to be quick with digital news, information, and advances in society. Therefore even right now our current older generations and future older generations need a physical touch point where competent people would be able to introduce on the spot what that one person as a citizen of the European Union can do that exact day to influence the benefit of Europe and their country. 1 0 0 E05034 The European Union needs to equip itself with the institutional and legal tools to resolve democratic conflicts on sovereignty within its own borders. in favor of In order to promote European peace, prosperity, and precious diversity, a different administration system is needed: a federal Europe, based on a democratic federal constitution instead of anarchy-provoking EU treaties. 0 0 1 E05036 There can be no real European democracy without the autonomous fiscal power of the EU. against No. If the parliament was given free rein to start taxing people directly, they would of course abuse this power to fund their own pet projects because MEPs want to feel important and increase their own power above all else. It's good that the member states (via council decisions) can explicitly decide the size of the EU budget. And until the democratic deficit and other systemic problems in the EU are fixed, it's good that the budget is kept at 1-2% of the total EU GDP. 0 1 0 E05037 The EU must be confederal and not federal against We need a real and effective European democracy, therefore, a European Federation. 1 1 0 E05039 We need to strengthen the participation of citizens in the design and processes of the EU against First, we should empower people more: put an emphasis on education and build a control mechanism for internet propaganda, e.g. force transparency on which content is truly human and which is sponsored or created by organizations and companies. Second, we should criminalize deliberate misinformation properly. Third, we should restructure the representation of people in the European Union. After all the above-mentioned, we can think about establishing a more binding role of petitions to the European Parliament. 1 0 0 E05040 We need a common EU TV channel free of charge for people in all Member States in favor of The language barrier and a weak influence on local thinking, allow local propaganda to pass on distorted and untrue information about what is happening in the EU to their citizens. Local governments have easy work to appropriate the positive things that the EU has achieved and, conversely, seduce its own failure on 'European bureaucracy'. 0 1 0 E05042 The EU should be involved in the creation of a media-funding framework against In other words, EU (taxpayer)-sponsored propaganda. 0 0 1 E05043 The federal features of the European Treaties need to be strengthened. in favor of We must move towards full co-decision power for the European Parliament and the abolition of unanimity for climate, energy, social affairs, and taxation policies. 0 1 0 E05044 The federal features of the European Treaties need to be strengthened. in favor of There is a lack of security and defense policy that can realistically be achieved by strengthening the Euro body as the 28th European army. 0 1 0 E05046 The president of the European Commission should be elected by the people of the EU against How would the candidates be selected? One per country? That just makes it a tight race between the two countries with the largest population (assuming one vote per person). Why would e.g. a Greek person vote for a Swedish candidate? How would even a Swedish candidate campaign in such a way as to appeal to Greek voters? 0 1 0 E05047 The European Union needs to equip itself with the institutional and legal tools to resolve democratic conflicts on sovereignty within its own borders. in favor of Europe was composed of 13 countries in 1870 and 23 in 1914. Maybe it's time to change borders without bloodshed. 1 0 0 E05048 The president of the European Commission should be elected by the people of the EU against In Germany, the President of the Executive is not elected by the people directly either. The reason for this is the horrible experience during the Third Reich. The Parliament - as the only constitutional institution being directly elected - has a stronger stand if the President is not elected directly. However I definitely support, that the Parliament becomes stronger and more influential. 1 1 0 E05049 EU citizens should be allowed to direct vote for more decisions against Direct democracy is too open to manipulation by populists and malefactors via social media. A transparent representative democracy with a solid lid on lobbyism is to be preferred. 0 1 0 E05050 Council meetings should be open to the public and the press in favor of Transparency is the first key to real democracy. Although today, Council meetings are partially live-streamed, most of the meetings are behind closed doors. This is an especially big problem with the Eurogroup and Eurosummit, which are shady informal meetings. Or think about all the meetings between diplomats (Coreper) and civil servants (working groups and committees), where ±90% of decisions are made, for the Council to be rubberstamped. Meetings that most citizens don't even know about. 0 1 0 E05052 The European Union needs to equip itself with the institutional and legal tools to resolve democratic conflicts on sovereignty within its own borders. in favor of We live in the XXI century. We do not want any repression of peripheries by their state center. Within the European Union, we should welcome the blessing of decentralism and localism, including the self-determination of stateless peoples and stronger autonomies within confederal agreements. If not in Europe, where? If not now, when? 1 0 0 E05053 The EU should synchronize national elections in favor of The only thing Europeans don’t do together is politics. This is because national parties - not EU parties - run the show within and across Europe. After 70 years of integration, the EU lacks a European party system capable of fostering a genuine transnational space of political debate and dialogue where citizens can understand, influence, and participate in decision-making affecting their common interests as Europeans. This must change. 0 1 0 E05054 The EU should synchronize national elections in favor of The political composition of the European Council - and therefore the EU’s political center of gravity - continuously changes during the EU political cycle, thus preventing clearer government majorities to emerge within these two European Councils. 0 1 0 E05055 The EU should synchronize national elections in favor of National elections synchronization would finally make it possible to strengthen the effectiveness of the Council of the EU, by eliminating the blockages caused by the constant renewal of Ministers, which considerably slows down decision-making. 1 0 0 E05056 The EU should synchronize national elections in favor of Synchronizing national elections would allow European citizens to engage in major pan-European campaigns. 0 1 0 E05060 We need to ensure improvements to the European Union's decision-making processes with increased transparency and accountability in favor of Decision-making is today made unilaterally minding short-term economic interests and employers' demands. We need a social, progressive policy in the EU. 1 0 0 E05062 Council meetings should be open to the public and the press against It would render the meetings useless since they would only be able to express official statements and instead negotiate new ideas without pressure. 1 0 0 E05064 We need to ensure improvements to the European Union's decision-making processes with increased transparency and accountability in favor of Europe needs a proper parliament including a right to initiative combined with strong involvement of social partners, e.g. through European Social Dialogue or the partnership principle in regional funds. 1 1 0 E05066 Voting for European Parliament Elections should be mandatory against High voter turnout is usually desirable, but it's a symptom, not the root cause. Forcing people to go to the polls doesn't mean they will make more informed choices. Besides, voter turnout is a good metric that tells us where the potential problems of voter disenfranchisement are which is the first step to addressing them. 1 0 0 E05068 The European Union needs to equip itself with the institutional and legal tools to resolve democratic conflicts on sovereignty within its own borders. in favor of Self-determination is a basic collective human right. Catalans practiced this right in 2017. Since then the Catalan Republic is kidnaped by Spanish lawfare, with the elected president Puigdemont in exile within Europe and more than 3000 Catalan activists suffering political persecution as a consequence. Ignoring this conflict within the core of Europe by European Institutions can undermine the EU at its very start. If you sincerely believe in human rights, recognize the Catalan Republic officially. This crucial step will enforce European democracy, the Democracy of Citizens that feel free and respected within European borders. 1 0 0 E05072 The European Union needs to equip itself with the institutional and legal tools to resolve democratic conflicts on sovereignty within its own borders. in favor of Every nation with its own language and culture, which demands the same status as a sovereign nation within Europe, must have the right to be recognized and respected by people and other member nations/states. 0 1 0 E05074 The president of the European Commission should be elected by the people of the EU against The European Commission has to be independent. It is not allowed to take instructions from any country, lobby group, or anyone else. An elected head of the Commission would make nonsense of the principle of independence that is vital to the trust in the Commission's job. He or she would be beholden to the group that elected him or her and make the job impossible. 1 0 0 E05081 The European Union needs to equip itself with the institutional and legal tools to resolve democratic conflicts on sovereignty within its own borders. in favor of In a democracy, people have the right to decide on any issue that affects their lives. If more than half of the inhabitants of a region want to form an independent state, they have the right to do so. Going against it is going against the will of the majority of citizens, and therefore, against the very essence of democracy. 0 1 0 E05082 The president of the European Commission should be elected by the people of the EU in favor of European political parties should be independent of national parties. There should be primaries open for the citizens to choose the candidate, it would increase citizen participation and involvement in EU politics. 0 1 0 E05083 The President of the European Commission should be directly elected by direct universal suffrage against I don't think the EU needs the same problem as France where the elections are just about which guy people should select and which candidate looks the best to handle the position. 1 0 0 E05088 There is a necessity for a European framework for the free movement of intensivists in favor of The pandemic has put European Intensive Care Units (ICUs) under extreme pressure. The most important lesson learned early on in the chaos of the pandemic was that equipment and medicines are necessary to save lives, but without adequately trained human resources, these elements are irrelevant. Ventilators don’t operate themselves. We saw patients in very critical condition being moved away from their families from one Member State to another to receive treatment while allowing the doctors to move would be much more efficient and less life-threatening for the patients. 1 0 0 E05089 EU needs an action plan against digital addiction against Technology brings people together when they are distant, accelerates bureaucratic procedures, it allows us to work from home or from any country in the EU or outside. It allows for an immense flow of information to be easily accessible to us. As long as people do not want to do illegal online activities, it is each person’s individual decision what to do with their own online time or how much time they might want to be online. 1 0 0 E05098 The EU government should encourage people to eat less meat against Horrible idea. Next, you will limit water or air?! This is not the way to move on climate change. You can do much more via mass politics and not focus on individuals or limit their freedoms. If you want to stop eating meat, do so, I won't. 0 1 0 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. But then we would also have to increase the contributions to health insurance for people who overeat sugar, use sunbeds, etc., to be fair. 0 0 1 E05102 Pay-as-you-go public health insurance funds should only be used for the most serious illnesses against This only works if you're young and healthy, otherwise, you're a bad risk for private health insurance and it will become even more expensive 0 0 1 E05107 Rural areas should become more attractive for life and work in favor of It seems like a no-brainer to say something like this, but actually the way, we handle soil, must change massively to halt the climate crisis and mitigate its consequences. Thus we need to recultivate and restore abandoned and contaminated places and shift agriculture to regenerative agriculture or restoration agriculture. We need to stabilize family farms and make them ecologically, financially, and socially sustainable. We need between big and medium-sized farms and also highly productive smallholder farms and wildlife reservoirs. This all depends on a lot of labor, engaged people, and legal and conceptual infrastructure. Having all this in place will foster urban areas as well. 1 0 0 E05108 Rural areas should become more attractive for life and work in favor of If rural areas are to become more attractive to live in and work, it is essential to bet on innovation and the creation of quality jobs 1 0 0 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 E05121 Public transport in EU cities should be free in favor of I think a very good transportation system within European cities is very much desirable. There is not enough space for many parking lots anyway, electro-cars won't be able to replace common cars, and urban spaces have to become greener. In order for many people to accept that the use of cars will have been a thing of the past, they should be offered very good alternatives in the future and, hopefully, appreciate green mobility through good public transport within urban areas. 1 0 0 E05122 Public transport in EU cities should be free in favor of The incentive to provide free public transport in European cities in the future would make it easier for people, especially in the cities, to accept and appreciate that there will be fewer and fewer cars. People who benefit from current examples are happy about it. 1 0 0 E05124 We need a European Clinical Registries Platform in favor of A common digital platform where data will be recorded in an anonymized way could also be very helpful for the future not only in case of new pandemic situations. However, as data itself has a market value and as we have learned about the global interdependency in an emergency situation e.g. with vaccines, no company should capitalize on this data. The data should be accessible for public research and used for monitoring public health e.g. by European institutions 1 0 0 E05125 The EU needs a European research center in favor of it would help to further unite the nations. 1 0 0 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 E05133 Alternative medicine should be more accepted in favor of Traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine is a safe and efficient way to improve well-being, and happiness and prevent illness. Also, an innumerable amount of people have got significant palliation or even total cure in cases, which the official health care system, unfortunately, couldn't help. This is clearly an area, where countries, civilizations, and schools of thought could learn a lot from each other. 1 0 0 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 E05148 Coronavirus protection should be advertised on TV and social media against That's a terrible idea. The government propaganda machine is already going at full steam. Do you have any idea what the psychological impact of these kinds of messages is when you blast them at people all day every day for over a year? Depression, suicides, and domestic violence are all the consequences of living in a hopeless and high-stress environment for a protracted period of time and are at record levels throughout Europe. In this entire covid crisis the so-called 'health experts' have consequently ignored the fact that your mental state has a direct influence on your health. i.e.: If you're stressed out, you're more likely to get sick. Instead, they have willfully created panic. Just like your ad would. 1 0 0 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 E06007 The EPPO’s jurisdiction should be extended to all member states in favor of The EU must take a strong position against corruption and be in favor of an independent, supranational proscecutor that is the EPPO. 0 1 0 E06008 The EU should enforce the obligation to respect the Rule of Law within its borders against The European Union is not a country and we must respect other countries' electoral choices. 0 1 0 E06011 The EU needs more effective policies to combat online hate speech against I have advice on how you can defend against anything on the Internet. Turn it OFF. And one more piece of advice, try to study something about freedom and responsibility, they are not just mere words. Plato, Socrates, Hayek, Borovský, Auberon Herbert, Herbert Spencer, Roger Scruton, Ronald Reagan (speeches), Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson ... There are texts thousands of years old and also recent books ... you can start anywhere you wish ... 1 0 0 E06020 The EU should enforce the obligation to respect the Rule of Law within its borders in favor of Current concerns about rule of law infringements are simply being brushed off as 'national matters'. If this continues, how can the EU assume authority to promote democracy abroad? More strict and enforceable minimum standards must be introduced, under clearly increasing penalties for non-compliance. If shared values and democracy are indeed a requisite to be a part of the EU, then continued adherence should be a precondition to remain a part of it. 1 1 0 E06026 The EU should ensure a free, independent, and functioning judiciary in its Member States against The administration of justice is a member state competence. Shadowy attempts by federalist institutions to enhance their influence at the expense of the sovereign member states are contrary to the letter of the EU Treaties, counter-productive, and have contributed greatly to the crisis of the EU by alienating national institutions. This is especially the case for courts. Several member states' high courts have declared the ECJ ultra vires (acting beyond its powers). This lawlessness on the part of federalist institutions must stop with immediate effect, and we must reaffirm the principles of subsidiarity and conferral. 1 0 0 E06027 The EPPO’s jurisdiction should be extended to all member states against It is unacceptable. Every nation has the right to organize its own prosecution system and no foreign prosecutor should be allowed to operate in independent states, it is a threat to the sovereignty of the member states. 0 1 0 E06045 The EU should enforce the obligation to respect the Rule of Law within its borders against The EU has no business 'promoting democracy' anywhere beyond its borders. Have we not seen sufficiently clearly in the past two decades where 'democracy export' leads?! Freedom bombs and human suffering everywhere. No, the EU must fully respect the sovereignty and national characters of all nations of this world. And that includes its own member states. The EU must immediately return to the letter of the EU treaties, and reaffirm in the strongest term the principles of conferral and subsidiarity. 0 1 0 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. It’s very easy to implement through an online platform same as digital banking, but for the state. This will stamp out corruption and thereby free up a huge amount of money that we can spend on the needs of the population. 0 0 1 E06075 The EU needs more effective policies to combat online hate speech in favor of Yes, the European Union needs effective policies to combat online hate speech and these need to be regularly updated as technology evolves and to take into account worldwide learning on how to effectively combat online hate speech. 1 0 0 E06078 Ideology should be aimed at popularizing the best human qualities and stopping everything that is directed against a human in favor of This will create conditions for the development and education of a Human with a capital “H”, cultivating moral values in each person and society. We should prohibit propaganda of violence, condemnation, and denunciation of any form of division, aggression, and anti-humane manifestations 1 0 0 E06091 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of The situation of young people is difficult. Temporary jobs, precarious contracts, civic contracts replacing regular employment, forced self-employment, lack of basic social protection, and even age-discriminatory practices (also on the basis of age) are still the norm for millions of young people who are trying to make their way in the labor market. They need urgent help! 1 0 0 E06092 Esperanto should replace English as the first foreign language in schools and universities in favor of Esperanto is politically neutral: it is not used by any European nation. Although there is some culture connected to the language, there is no political or economic power imposing it. Also, where English is connected to the US, Canada, Australia, and other countries, Esperanto would be a truly European language. 1 0 0 E06093 Esperanto should replace English as the first foreign language in schools and universities in favor of To build a common European understanding and to create a European identity, we need our own common language. 1 1 0 E06094 Esperanto should replace English as the first foreign language in schools and universities in favor of Esperanto is linguistically neutral: The language was created with the principle of internationality in a European context. It’s democratic: There are no native speakers of Esperanto, or better yet not any monolingual speakers of Esperanto. Everyone has to learn it as a second language. As a result of this nobody will have an advantage over others and nobody can feel like a 'stranger' since nobody can feel like a 'native'. Everyone is respected regardless of their origin and not discouraged from learning the language. 1 0 0 E06095 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of I agree. Young people should have a voice in policymaking. Regulation needs to reduce forms of precarious work. It is time to expand collective bargaining coverage to all forms of work. It is essential to introduce a right to decent housing and policies capping rents and limiting property market speculation. we urgently need investment to achieve this. Youth is the future, we have to take care of it. 1 1 0 E06097 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of A lot of programs nowadays sound really good on paper, but there always is someone bending the rules. There needs to be outside monitoring in every youth program of that sort 1 0 0 E06098 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of We see this problem in many countries and the situation is getting worse - the pandemic, also, took its toll. Stable quality jobs and adequate social protection are necessary if we don't want to see a great strain on social systems in the long term. 1 0 0 E06099 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of To prevent precarious conditions, we must put in place quality standards, they must be binding for all jobs created under EU and National recovery plans. Better monitoring and trade union involvement are needed to assess and report youth unemployment and NEET rates. At the moment these numbers hide forced mobility, involuntary part-time employment, and work in a grey and informal economy. Urgent measures are needed to fight youth unemployment and precarious working conditions in sectors where young people are overrepresented (tourism; gig economy…). 1 0 0 E06100 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of I agree. Stable, quality jobs and adequate social protection for everyone are necessary. Trade unions have many proposals to achieve more equal and inclusive labor markets. This goes hand in hand with policies to promote more equal, sustainable, and inclusive societies. 1 0 0 E07001 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of We cannot afford a lost generation, so we need to invest in quality jobs and young people for our future! 1 0 0 E07002 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of The problem of youth employment has been there for a long time but was underlined again during the pandemic. Many young people are forced to move to a different country in order to find work. 1 0 0 E07004 All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people in favor of All workers and unemployed should have access to social protection, including young people. It is embedded in the core principle of the European Pillar of Social Rights, but those high and lofty principles must become a reality for all workers, old and young! 1 0 0 E07005 Imprisonment of foreign criminals should be carried out in their country in favor of Integration and immigration in a host country require a lot of effort 1 0 0 E07006 Imprisonment of foreign criminals should be carried out in their country in favor of This will relieve the European prison system. This would encourage many migrants to take responsibility for the laws of the host countries. 1 0 0 E07009 The EU needs tougher border protection against Building walls is a sign of fear and weakness. 1 0 0 E07014 There should be a common EU migration and asylum policy against A common policy is a completely wrong solution. It will only lead to the fact that the system will be fully implemented on the terms of Sweden and Germany, who support open borders, and will bring down the entire EU and the traditional welfare states. 1 0 0 E07016 The fear of migration is a fear of the unknown and is exacerbated. against Fear of the unknown is normal behavior. It has saved our race since ages starting when mankind was a simple monkey among others. 0 1 0 E07018 There should be no immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries. in favor of Halt all immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries into the EU. 0 1 0 E07022 We do not want immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries in favor of No more non-European immigration. The native Europeans have said NO. 0 1 0 E07027 There should be a stronger partnership between the EU and the African Union in favor of Maybe while helping economic integration in Africa to happen, we will discover that we could go further in our own EU development. We could foster transnational companies which operate on both continents but not primarily the very big ones. I think of companies that supply solar power solutions to rural areas or microcredit banks. Create platforms where best choice and best practice solutions can evolve. This way, we can establish a single common market. 1 0 0 E07032 There should be no immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries in favor of European citizens are the future of Europe! 1 0 0 E07033 There should be 6 concrete proposals for migrants on the Balkan route. in favor of The proposal of the Sardines to reform EU asylum policy is an excellent proposal, well and thoroughly written. 1 1 0 E07034 We do not need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries against Just arguing to keep migrants out is very shortsighted and unhistorical. By keeping migrants out, migration pressure will not abate. So what do you suggest for next year, 10 years from now? 1 0 0 E07035 We do not need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries against Migration has been a fact of history and successful societies have found ways to turn migration into strength. In our case in order to alleviate the current challenge in the long term we need to alleviate migration pressure by making it attractive for migrants to stay put and help develop their own countries. Such a helpful project, a European Marshal Plan for Africa would be a good project to invest in. The long-term return on investment would be more than financial: A friendly neighbor continent, good relationships, access to the African market, and natural resources. That is not a short-term fix. And there is no short-term fix. We have to play the long game! 1 0 1 E07038 We need a better EU migration policy in favor of his is the issue in politics and public sector policy making. No objectives are to be pursued. No problems to be solved. I guess it is the nature of the beast. Balancing conflicting interests. 1 0 0 E07045 There should be a stronger partnership between the EU and the African Union in favor of With highly subsidized agricultural products the EU destroys local markets in African countries. This procedure should be stopped as soon as possible. EU agricultural subsidies should be replaced with incentives and support for a sustainable transition. The earlier we abandon these unfair and highly unsustainable subsidies the better for our own future health, social development, and climate future. Also, this will lead to a better relationship with African Union and enable better livelihoods for African farmers and citizens, 1 0 0 E07048 The EU must use its weight as a united global player in trade policy and put an end to foreclosure in favor of For Europe to act outwardly as a unit, we must first look inward. At the psychological level, how can we create a European home market? What does it take, for example, for a resident of Spain to think of Czech printers as a local product? Will it be possible to reach an agreement on Europe's historical events and interpret them to everyone's satisfaction? This process will take some time. 0 1 0 E07051 We need a single immigration policy. against What we are now seeing are the first waves of a human tsunami. In sub-Saharan Africa, over years the population will have grown to 2,0 billion. That is more than the people who live in the EU and US today. At the same time, the Population in the EU is shrinking. When we keep the border open the EU as a viable society will disappear. Not much of a future for the young Europeans. 1 0 0 E07052 We need a better distribution of refugees against The key to successful immigration depends upon the possibility of employment. So EU members are to decide whom they want to admit. 1 1 0 E07053 We need a better distribution of refugees against Illegal immigrants have to be returned to UN refugee camps. 1 0 0 E07059 The EU should strengthen development cooperation. in favor of Europe as a whole is the world’s leading donor. The European Union should strengthen the development cooperation action, focusing on inclusive development 1 0 0 E07062 We do not need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries. in favor of There's nothing wrong with not wanting your continent to become chaos and putting your people first, every civilization in this world takes that idea as self-evident. We need to negotiate Remigration deals with the 3rd countries to send their nationals back and we need to use Frontex to push back any migrants coming to our borders. 0 1 0 E07063 The EU should immediately end the refugee deal with Turkey. against The EU leadership fails to carry out its fundamental duties: guard its border and protect its own people. Even 30 years after Schengen was introduced. 1 0 0 E07064 The EU should immediately end the refugee deal with Turkey. against Immigration should not be part of humanitarian aid. Humanitarian aid should be delivered directly to Africa / Asia. The Turkey deal should eventually be abolished. 1 0 0 E07074 We don't need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries. in favor of It is time, to be honest about this! Europeans have the right to self-determination like every other country out there! This is OUR home and a home for everyone is a home for no one. 0 1 0 E07078 There should be a federal Constitution for a European Federation in favor of People are willing to volunteer change in relation to involuntary inflicted changes, such as technology, economy, and climate. With this in mind, I hope a European Constitution will be long-lasting and help the people. We have to react to the circumstances and start fast. 1 0 0 E07079 There should be a stronger EU on the world scene in favor of EU should show more strength when dealing with foreign powers. In addition, there should be a vision about where we want to go in the long term with the EU, and this is in an increasingly complex (and sometimes hostile) world. 1 0 0 E07086 There should be no immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries in favor of I am happy to see that the ide of haling all immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries is still going strong. This message needs to be communicated to Brussels very clearly. 0 1 0 E07092 Europe should establish a common Army across Europe in favor of An EU army independent from NATO and its US commanders is critical to strategic autonomy and avoiding being dragged into destructive US wars in the Middle East like in the past. 1 1 0 E07094 We need a better distribution of refugees. against If you want migrants, invite them into your home. 1 0 0 E07103 There should be a better post-Brexit European Alliance against The EU and its member states have already various partnership or neighborhood programs for Non-EU states. 0 1 0 E07105 We need a single immigration policy. in favor of We do need migrants, from an ethical and practical point of view. Europe is old and archaic in most of its practices. Innovation is failing and the best we can do is defend the status quo and the old people in power. 1 0 0 E07107 The EU should join NATO in favor of It would be easier if the EU joined NATO. The internal rivalry between the single EU states would stop. Also, the issue of a legitimate European army would be solved. However, I am not sure how this would work out in legal terms. Federations have already joined NATO, rather than individual states, but what would be the status of the EU? 0 1 0 E07110 There should be a European Common Defence and Security Alliance in favor of We need to revisit the idea of a defense union that is independent of NATO. National armies of EU states should be able to cooperate. This includes the same equipment, the same training and the same battle language. 1 0 0 E07113 The EU should conclude an agreement with the United Kingdom and create together a European pillar of NATO against Forty years of UK membership in the European Union have clearly proven that it is not a good idea to conclude agreements with England. 1 0 0 E07116 The European Parliament should be dissolved and replaced with a global government. against We certainly need levels of government at the global, regional, and local levels. Equally, we absolutely need democracy at the global, regional, and local levels. Neither the European nor the national and regional parliaments should be abolished because of the need for global governance for the planet. 0 1 0 E07118 The European Parliament should have more powers, so Europe can stand against other world powers. against The European Parliament has developed avenues for a common foreign and defense policy and should exercise its role this way. Also, there are prerogatives of a parliament to guide and control the external policies of the EU. 0 1 0 E07121 There should be a stronger partnership between the EU and the African Union in favor of Africa has a lot of bright young people with sometimes incredible ideas. If these young people create for example remote learning opportunities for African students, we should not only sponsor such projects but make exchange possible for young people in Europe to create similar items for example to foster MINT skills throughout Europe. Give more opportunities for young people from both sides to meet, exchange, and ventilate new ideas. 1 0 0 E07123 There should be no immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries in favor of Marvelous to see this idea of halting immigration receive the most endorsements on the migration topic. This is really not going according to plan for the globalists! 0 1 0 E07126 The EU should recognize Taiwan as an independent sovereign state in favor of Recognizing Taiwan as a sovereign state coordinated act of the EU, USA, Japan, and Australia. That will make any retaliation from China much more difficult. 1 0 0 E07128 The demographic decline should be stopped. in favor of The EU is in demographic decline. At the start of the 19th century, Europe accounted for 15% of the world's population. By 2050, it will be 5%. 1 0 0 E07129 The EU should use promote institutions to improve the relationship between Eastern and Western Europe. against Europe has more than enough ideological disputes within its own borders. We must settle those first - by falling back on a previous, more classical liberal position that was uncontroversial for most of our citizens. Countries outside the EU must deal with their own problems as best they can. Less interference from Europe is the order of the day, not more. 0 1 1 E07132 We need an inclusive and pluralistic European society in favor of Complex problems are faced by deepening study, not by pretending they don't exist. 1 0 0 E07134 We don't need immigration from non-European or non-first-world countries. against What are you 5? And what do you mean by first-world? Should we create a task force just to understand what countries are to be considered the first world? Is it the money? The religion? The food? Their political system? And then reevaluate each year? This comment is plain ignorant. 1 0 0 E07136 Foreign Policy at the EU level should be based on absolute majority, not unanimity in favor of Without a change in the voting procedure, Europe will not be capable of doing much in this world. 1 0 0 E07138 The EU must take the lead for the Middle East. in favor of I would like to strongly support the need for Europe to gain back an active role in the diplomatic efforts to try to stabilize the Middle East and in particular to find a just and fair solution to the Israel - Palestine conflict. I remember that the European Union - with the Venice Declaration of June 1980 - played a key role in pushing the Palestinians to the table of negotiations. That text was much criticized at that time, but with the benefit of insights, it was right! Europe has become more and more marginal in the peace process and this has contributed to a much-aggravated situation where problems are even more difficult to resolve than 40 years ago and create room for despair and violence. 0 1 0 E07143 We need Integrated migration and border policy. against Refugees can obtain a visa at an Embassy in one of the 54 African countries. All other immigrants must be returned within a week of arrival. 0 1 0 E07145 There should be a single EU policy. in favor of The EU should be a global actor. Merge all Foreign affairs departments from member states into a coordinated European network for international policy and intelligence. 0 1 0 E07149 Foreign Policy at the EU level should be based on an absolute majority, not unanimity. against Abolishing the veto right in the current EU foreign policy voting procedure will be the death of European solidarity. It would turn Europe into a polarized entity much like the American system and would firmly divide the European community on every issue. 0 1 0 E07150 Foreign Policy at the EU level should be based on an absolute majority, not unanimity. against Abolishing the veto right in the current EU foreign policy voting procedure will only serve larger nations in the union and small member states would lose all their power and slowly turn into puppets of the larger nations instead of equal partners 0 1 0 E07153 The 19 June plenary meeting of the European Conference should mark a first step in the direction of a stronger and more united EU in the world in favor of We need the United States of Europe. A European army, strategic autonomy, and acting as one. To the future of Europe must belong its capacity to act as a global player. 1 1 0 E07154 We need to build up European Defence while remaining in NATO in favor of Europe’s sovereignty and credibility are at this price. The burden of European defense cannot rest on the back of a small number of countries and potential conflicts are increasing. 0 1 0 E07157 The European Union has no other choice than to reject all immigration, except for workers they need. in favor of Africa and the Middle East have the highest birthrate in the World. Africa has up to 7 children per woman. The EU has 1,55. It is this high birthrate that keeps them poor. There is almost nothing the EU can do about it. 1 1 1 E07159 Foreign Policy at the EU level should be based on an absolute majority, not unanimity. against Changing the EU foreign policy voting procedure will cause serious problems. 1 0 0 E07163 The EU should be a permanent member of the UN Security Council. in favor of It is a good idea that France should coordinate its positions on the UN Security Council with the EU or leave its seat to the EU entirely. This way foreign policy decision-making within the EU can be made more straightforward. 1 1 0 E07172 The Western Balkans should join the EU immediately in favor of I opt without a that the Balkan countries should be EU members, so their membership status helps them evolve. We have great examples in Romania and Bulgaria, and going back to the eighties, to Spain and Portugal. Those countries started to truly develop when they joined the EU. Besides, as you stated, the Balkan countries have made huge efforts in the last years to approach the EU. 1 0 0 E07173 We need an integrated migration and border policy. in favor of The EU member states need to lift together instead of trying to push the burdens onto each other or external nations. 1 0 0 E07179 Immigrants should learn the language of their host country. in favor of Helping migrants learn the language and culture of the country they are living in are critical to successful integration. Language and norms of the job market and workplace should also be built in. 1 0 0 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 E07183 We need an inclusive language for all citizens of the world: the Esperanto. against If there are language problems, we need to work on national integration systems, e.g. in France where English is being thought in French. language. 1 0 0 E07185 We need an inclusive language for all citizens of the world: the Esperanto. against English is ideal as it is spoken internationally as the language of commerce, travel, and political exchange. Esperanto isn't. 1 0 0 E07189 Esperanto should be the common language for the European Union. in favor of 'Natural' languages were never designed to be used for international communication. They reflect their own cultures and are perfect for use in their own communities, but the international language has different requirements. Esperanto has been specifically designed for this purpose, as an auxiliary language, one that can bring people together. It needs serious consideration! 1 0 0 E07190 The EU should be a permanent member of the UN Security Council in favor of The idea that France should coordinate its positions on the UN Security Council with the EU is good because it does not request any specific UN decision (i.e recognizing the EU as a 'State'). It is enough that an internal EU-France agreement determines that the representative of France (appointed by agreement between France and EU) will now represent the EU (with veto right), and at the same time all other EU Member States will reinforce this representation by delegating their best specialists and put their own representation in vacancy. 1 1 0 E07191 The EU should be a permanent member of the UN Security Council in favor of It should be the common goal of EU diplomacy to change the workings of the UN as it is. The security council is a relict of the emerging post-WW2 order and the influence of the Cold War. 1 1 0 E07193 We need better ways of migration. in favor of Migration is part of being human and has always happened throughout history. 1 0 0 E07194 We need better ways of migration. in favor of The EU needs a humane, civilized, and legal way to manage migration, whether it is for economic reasons or to seek international protection. 1 0 0 E07196 The EU should strengthen its ties with Ukraine and prepare an EU membership of Ukraine. in favor of If people make a revolution for our system and values, we must support them. It is the Ukrainian people who decide their future, not Russia. In order to support them we need a European army and a common foreign policy. 1 1 0 E07197 We need a stand-alone European army. in favor of Turkey is encroaching on EU territory, Russia is sending its army to the Ukrainian border, and what can we do? Nothing, because nobody is taking us seriously. Our threats are empty and get ignored, and our diplomacy is weak. It's time for the EU to be recognized as a strong force that can and will protect its people and its interests. 1 0 0 E07198 We need a stand-alone European army. in favor of A European army is not only needed to attack and defend but to give weight to European words. 0 1 0 E07205 The Commission should take care of the administration of camps where migrants and asylum seekers are kept. against All refugee camps should be closed. And illegals moved back to the last country they left. 0 1 0 E07211 There should be a reform of EU trade and investment policy and a relaunch of global multilateralism in favor of The EU should be able to contribute to a relaunch of global multilateralism, through a profound reform based on democracy and peace, solidarity, and respect for human, social, and environmental rights. 1 0 0 E07215 The EU should change its internal structure. in favor of Expansion by many dissimilar members and in particular the implementation of the EURO has made the EU unmanageable. The EURO is too strong for the less competitive members and is therefore unsustainable. 1 0 0 E07217 Every young European should be asked to go live in another country for 1 year at least against If young Europeans are living abroad they will feel racism on their own in the country they are living in. 1 0 0 E07219 Foreign Policy at the EU level should be based on an absolute majority, not unanimity against Each country should keep its power, which is ensured through the current unanimous voting process in the European Union. 0 1 0 E07224 There should be a president for the EU elected by the people. in favor of We need one single president of the Commission that will chair the Commission and the Council. I wonder though how the president of the EU Parliament would be involved in this structure. 1 1 0 E07227 The EU needs a single market for news in favor of We have a deficit in democracy in the EU because of the lack of coverage of European affairs in our media. It's also the reason why people don't know much about the EU and don't understand how it benefits us all. 1 0 0 E07228 Foreign Policy at the EU level should be based on absolute majority, not unanimity in favor of The unanimous vote is the cause of European stagnation. Foreign and security policy requires speed. Unanimity should be replaced with a qualified majority. 1 1 0 E07232 The EU should reduce its influence on its member states. against We can have a strong federal Europe that will protect the rights of individuals and communities, that will have the power to tackle the climate emergency, and stand up to other superpowers. Let's go forward and make the EU the shared home that we all want to live in, that can lead the world in dealing with the problems we face on our planet. 1 1 0 E07233 Europe needs an energy partnership with Africa. in favor of Only if Europe has an energy partnership with Africa Europe will be able to produce enough clean energy. The EU should develop fair cooperation with the African Union and also offer Africa an alternative to the geopolitical attempts of other powers to establish themselves as global hegemons. 1 1 0 E07237 The European Union should visible on the facades of the embassies and consulates of European countries. in favor of The European flag should be systematically displayed, in addition to the national flag, on any facade of an embassy or consulate of a European country. This would enhance the image of the European Union in addition to synergies like the pooling of support services. This approach could accompany the construction of common structures and policies in the field of foreign affairs. 0 1 0 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 E07242 The European Union should be harder towards irreparable migrants, those who do not value their lives in peace, security, and prosperity. against Migrants have an enormous amount to offer in energy, new ideas, and cultures. Why this emphasis on imaginary 'takeovers'? 1 0 0 E07243 The EU should be a permanent member of the UN Security Council. in favor of France should offer its seat on the UN Security Council, so European interests are represented. 1 1 0 E07248 The EU should play a major role in a multipolar world against Democracy and civilization are the essences of Europe and the EU must uphold those values. For me, the word civilization is also to be civil, which in some way is the opposite of being militarized. The EU should not be a superpower. Nuclear detergence should be enough. 0 1 0 E07249 The EU should play a major role in a multipolar world against There is enough environmental task to handle and Europe have had its wars. But to streamline our powers and therefore try to save huge amounts of money is a no-brainer. 1 0 1 E07251 Foreign Policy at the EU level should be based on an absolute majority, not unanimity. in favor of Giving small countries 'veto rights' is a recipe for disaster that will keep the European Union separated and weak instead of united and reliable in policy making. 1 1 0 E07252 We need a plan for receiving asylum/migrants. in favor of According to Mrs. Ngozi Okonjat, African countries follow the example of the Asian Tigers. 0 1 0 E07257 Norway and Iceland should be invited to the European Conference in favor of Norway and Iceland can provide their external point of view toward EU policy at the conference. But why only Norway and Iceland? Why not Switzerland? Why not the recognized candidates? And maybe even UK! I'm sure there are many lessons to learn from their experience in the EU and from the Brexit 0 1 0 E07258 There should be a reform of EU trade and investment policy and a relaunch of global multilateralism. in favor of Both, a reform of EU trade and investment policy and a relaunch of global multilateralism are overdue. 0 1 0 E07259 We need legal ways of migration. against Migrants have a complete lack of critical thinking. 1 0 0 E07260 We need legal ways of migration. against Migrants willingly risk their lives. 1 0 0 E07261 We need legal ways of migration. against Migrants depend on other countries' social systems. 1 0 0 E07264 The EU should decide its role in a multipolar world in favor of The European Union is doing amazingly well in relation to the enormous bad publicity it is receiving from all sides. And as if that were not enough in itself, very large countries from around the world are doing constantly dividing work between member states. As all successes start in your head, perhaps some attention should be allocated to the media. The EU has a clear chance to become one of the major poles of this multipolar world order. 0 1 0 E07267 There should be a new EU foreign policy. in favor of The stated proposal for a new EU foreign policy is very well thought through. 1 0 0 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 E07278 There should be a small council of people from all over the world, and identify the problems of every country and solve them. against Europe should represent its own interests. 0 1 0 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 E08002 The EU should extend the model of Pooling & Sharing European military resources beyond air transport. in favor of Pooling & Sharing integrates military capabilities at the European level and creates a European culture in the military sector. 1 1 0 E08003 The EU should integrate the armed forces of its member states in favor of I am all for the creation of a European army, but for that, the question of the command of this army must also be resolved. And this is where the idea of a European Security Council is very interesting and deserves to be pushed. 0 1 0 E08004 The EU should integrate the armed forces of its member states in favor of I am in favor of a possible army, but I would like to see it combined with social services and reconstruction. So NGOs and development cooperation must be involved. An army that can fight must also be able to build. We therefore also need a civilian army in Europe. I would also like an army consisting of civilians in uniform, in the same way as the German army. Please also take into account the right to refuse orders due to conscientious objection, also as in the German army. 1 1 0 E08005 The EU should integrate the armed forces of its member states in favor of Absolutely right. Europe needs an army for continental defense. Conscription must be introduced at the European level. The army must have the most modern weapons to deter Russia, Turkey, and China. 0 1 0 E08008 The EU should integrate the armed forces of its member states in favor of In principle, I would be in favor of a European army, but I would tie it to a reform of European decision-making (majority or 2/3 majority). An army is worth nothing if the members cannot agree or if a single country uses it as a means of pressure to push through its own interests. 0 1 0 E08009 The EU should integrate the armed forces of its member states in favor of I agree with your idea. But it is a long and arduous way to reach the goal. What's the point of building a skyscraper without a foundation? What I mean by that: First the EU needs a unified foreign policy and only then a common and united army. 0 1 0 E08015 The EU should integrate the armed forces of its member states in favor of A European army is not a controversial idea, but a question of what integration of the armed forces of the member states means and what an army is in general. EU action on security and defense must extend to vigilance, openness, and transparency in economic, financial, fiscal, and social infrastructures. A European or joint - ideally worldwide - army is not a hierarchy, but an idea of common values, in the sense of human rights and strategic and coordinated action as well as socio-economic prosperity for all, without environmental pollution. But ordinances, decrees, etc. are a kind of 'silent mail' and can falsify the legal goals and values, as can reports and statistics. 1 0 0 E08016 The EU should integrate the armed forces of its member states in favor of On the one hand, we have Russia killing countless Ukrainians and committing sabotage in Britain and the Czech Republic, and on the other hand, we have reluctant United States that is switching between isolationist and interventionist policies every 4-8 years. I stand convinced, that in order for the European Union to move forward, it must begin to introduce measures for the security of both, the current member states as well as the future member states that are endangered due to foreign aggression and bring the responsibility of continental safety firmly in our own hands. If Europe is to find the peace it must have the means to create peace by being able to protect itself against hostile foreign influences. 1 1 0 E08020 The EU should integrate the armed forces of its member states in favor of The EU cannot endlessly lean on America or NATO. America has proven to be fickle and NATO has its own problems, such as Turkey, which is outside the EU and has threatened Greece. The EU needs its own independent solution. 0 1 0
