Once a year, the EU gets a reality check. 🇪🇺👀

What changed? 📈 What didn’t? 🤔 And where do we go from here? 🧭

During the State of the European Union, the President of the European Commission looks back at the past year, sets out the priorities ahead and then debates them with Members of the European Parliament. 🏛️💬

Big questions. New priorities. Plenty to debate!

What should the EU be focusing on right now? 💡

Real or AI? 🤖 Soon, it should be easier to tell.

From 2 August, under new EU rules, anyone using generative AI professionally need to be clear about:
🎥 AI-generated content that could look real
📝 public-interest text created with AI and not reviewed by a person
💬 chatbots that interact directly with users

These rules apply to everyone from big brands and public organisations to content creators.

There are some exceptions, but the idea is simple: if AI is involved, people should know! 🕵️‍♀️

Wondering how to comply? The EU has created guidelines, a code of practice, and labelling icons to help you. Check the link in the comments.

Young Europeans aren’t quiet. They’re thinking about the future they want to build.

A future where moving out does not feel impossible, where finding a job is not a struggle and where climate change is not ignored.

In the European Parliament Youth Survey 2024, cost of living came first (40%) 💶, followed by climate and the environment (33%) 🌱 and jobs and the economy (31%) 💼. Healthcare 🏥, education 👩‍🎓 and housing 🏠 are close behind.

That is what’s on their minds. And it deserves to be on the agenda!

Every September, the EU has its “okay, so what’s the plan?” moment. 🤔

The Commission President takes the floor to say what the EU wants to fix, change and focus on next.

Then Parliament asks the follow-up questions: Is that enough? What about housing, jobs, climate, the cost of living? And who is being left out? ☝️

On 16 September, those plans get put to the test at the State of the European Union debate. 🇪🇺👩‍⚖️

We could have simply told you to visit the European Parliament. But that would have been too straightforward. 😎

One ambitious attempt to cross a very small amount of water 🌊 and one suspiciously smooth transition later ✨✌️, here we are.

If you’re in Brussels, discover the , explore the Parlamentarium and step inside the Hemicycle.

Just come and . Bye. 🇪🇺
