The circular economy aims to break away from the traditional linear 'take make use dispose' model by keeping resources in circulation for as long as possible.

Resilience of the Banking Union’s Non-Cash Payment Systems

This briefing reviews the two papers and puts forward the main lessons they offer.

Zdrowie publiczne
Unijna polityka zdrowia publicznego ciągle się rozwija. Katalizatorem wielu działań w tej dziedzinie była pandemia COVID-19. UE stawiła czoła wyzwaniom w tym obszarze – przez rozwiązywanie zarówno obecnych, jak i przyszłych problemów w ochronie zdrowia, budowanie odporności na transgraniczne zagrożenia zdrowotne, realizowanie europejskiego planu walki z rakiem (lepsze badania przesiewowe i środki zapobiegawcze), rozwój strategii farmaceutycznej dla Europy (zapewniającej pacjentom w UE terminowy i ...
Sport
UE uzyskała kompetencje w dziedzinie sportu na mocy traktatu lizbońskiego, który wszedł w życie w grudniu 2009 r. Od tego czasu odpowiada za opracowanie polityki opartej na przesłankach empirycznych, za wspieranie inicjatyw w dziedzinie współpracy i zarządzania z korzyścią dla aktywności fizycznej i sportu w całej Europie. Specjalne środki finansowe na sport wprowadzono po raz pierwszy w ramach pierwszego programu Erasmus+ (2014–2020) i kontynuowano w kolejnych edycjach programu.
