These threats must be addressed to protect valuable sites and preserve them for future generations. Research on climate change is not a novelty, but climate change as it relates to cultural heritage is a relatively new area of exploration and policy. The ...

On 15 December 2023, the co-legislators reached a provisional agreement on a regulation establishing a common framework for media services in the internal market (European Media Freedom Act).

Šport je oblasť, v ktorej sú právomoci EÚ pomerne nové. EÚ ich získala až nadobudnutím platnosti Lisabonskej zmluvy v decembri 2009. EÚ je zodpovedná za tvorbu politiky založenej na dôkazoch a za posilňovanie spolupráce a riadenie iniciatív na podporu športu a fyzickej aktivity v celej Európe. Na podporu projektov a sietí v oblasti športu bol po prvýkrát vytvorený osobitný rozpočtový riadok v rámci programu Erasmus+ (2014 – 2020).

'Auschwitz didn't appear from nowhere', remarked Marian Turski, Holocaust survivor and child prisoner in the Auschwitz death camp, in January 2020 at the solemn ceremony on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Audiovizuálnu politiku v EÚ upravujú články 167 a 173 Zmluvy o fungovaní Európskej únie (ZFEÚ). Kľúčovou súčasťou právnych predpisov v tejto oblasti je smernica o audiovizuálnych mediálnych službách, ktorá bola revidovaná v roku 2018. Hlavným nástrojom EÚ na podporu tohto odvetvia (predovšetkým filmového priemyslu) je podprogram MEDIA, ktorý je súčasťou programu Kreatívna Európa. V Charte základných práv Európskej únie sa požaduje rešpektovanie „slobody a plurality médií“.

This study provides an in-depth analysis of the Proposal for a Directive establishing the European Disability Card and the European Parking Card for persons with disabilities, and outlines recommendations. This Proposal represents an important stepping stone to promote free movement of persons with disabilities. It is based on mutual recognition of disability status, but does not harmonise disability assessments. It would ensure that holders of the cards may avail of disability benefits in a range ...
