EUROPEAN YOUTH PRESS..newsletter

 

Newsletter December 2024

Dear young media makers, As we approach the end of an exciting year, our community has been buzzing with activity and growth! We are thrilled to have welcomed our new board members, who are already bringing fresh perspectives and energy to the European Youth Press. Our "InclusiveMediaMatters campaign has been at the heart of our efforts this year, promoting inclusive media practices and encouraging young Europeans to contribute to a more diverse and representative media landscape. Additionally, the FOMO event in August, held in Slovakia, brought excellent workshops and lectures to participants and representatives of our member organisations. These sessions provided valuable insights on key topics and further strengthened the network of youth-led organisations, enhancing our shared knowledge and commitment to impactful action.  We also want to remind you about the open call for Treasurer, Advisory Board Member and new EYP Member Organisations! This is a fantastic opportunity to support the growth of European Youth Press and help steer our organisation toward even greater success. Looking ahead, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for our upcoming initiatives, and we’re grateful to all of you who have been part of our journey in 2024! Happy reading, EYP Executive Board

Foreword

Dear readers, Since our last newsletter, the new von der Leyen Commission has started working on the key priorities for the mandate, including food security, water, and nature. Commissioner Kadis has already held key meetings with stakeholders, including the Advisory Councils.  We are finishing the year with the 2025 fishing opportunities agreements. On the basis of Commission proposals, EU Member States’ fisheries ministers have concluded unanimous agreements for the Mediterranean & Black seas, as well as for the Atlantic and the North Sea.  We also managed to reach agreements with Norway, the UK – as well as trilaterally.  We negotiated on behalf of the EU the final rounds of the year for some regional fisheries management organisations – with the annual meetings of both ICCAT and NEAFC.  The EU regrets the lack of conclusion of new global plastics treaty but we will continue advocating for a global solution that is badly needed for our ocean. I would like to thank the 12 000 volunteers who took part in our #EUBeachCleanup campaign to fight marine litter.  Finally, I would like to wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season!  Warm regards,  Charlina Vitcheva, Director-General  Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries @vitcheva_eu
