Make sports free from advertising and sponsoring
Published

Public Policy Proposal, Social policy - Social rights, Policy domain, Sports - Youth - Associative life, Audio-visual and Media, Equality, Type of action, Ecology - Sustainable Development, Scale at which decisions are taken, 2-Whole EU
The economic model of sports relies mainly on advertising and sponsoring by commercial companies. Sports are thus dominated by the narrow oligarchy of multinational sponsors and advertisers, whose purpose is to leverage the positive image of sport in our societies to sell their products or services. Sport is now a global business - whereas its spirit originally was, and should remain, that of a healthy leisure activity. This domination of sports by the economic interests of advertisers and sp...

Make sports free from advertising and sponsoring [stub]
Open to a working group

Public Policy Proposal, Social policy - Social rights, Policy domain, Sports - Youth - Associative life, Audio-visual and Media, Equality, Type of action, Ecology - Sustainable Development, Scale at which decisions are taken, 2-Whole EU
[This proposal is still a work in progress. Much more needs to be done, once the working group has reached its quorum] Prevent sports from being taken over by the economic interests of advertsing companies, in a radical way: prohibit advertising during sports events and around the broadcasting of sports events. Thereby, sports would use a much more distributed (and thus more democratic) business model, based upon entry tickets to stadiums, membership fees in associations and pay-per-view broad...

Establish a minimum, living wage in each EU Member State
Published

3-Member State, Social policy - Social rights, Equality, Macroeconomic and Monetary policy, 2-Whole EU, Work - Employment, Scale at which decisions are taken, Policy domain
In each Member State, one can define a "living wage", i.e. the wage necessary for a family of 4 to live decently: providing food, housing, clothing, education, healthcare, access to culture and a capacity for savings. I propose that: (1) a methodology be defined at EU level to establish such a living wage, mobilising the official statistical bureau, the consumer and tenants associations, the employers and the trade unions (2) in each EU Member State, these entities define such a "living wage...

Establish an Environmentally-Sustainable Living Wage as the minimum wage in each EU Member State
Open to a working group

Social policy - Social rights, 2-Whole EU, Macroeconomic and Monetary policy, Scale at which decisions are taken, 3-Member State, Equality, Policy domain, Work - Employment
In each Member State one can define a "Environmentally Sustainanable Living Wage (ESLW)". We propose that: (1) a methodology be defined at EU level to establish such an ESLW; (2) in each EU Member State and region, this methodology be used to define such a ESLW, according to the local infrastructure or housing costs; (3) the EU adopt per Directive this ESLW as the mandatory minimum wage in the Member State or region. The mode of implementation of this minimum wage would be left to national legis...

Border adjustment measures on carbon emissions rights
Published

Political domain, Ecology - Sustainable Development, Scale, Scale - Whole EU, Industry, Public Finance - Taxation
Imposing a price to carbon emissions in Europe (in the form of tradeable allowances or of a carbon tax) is detrimental to the external competitiveness of European energy-intensive industries. I propose to set up a border adjustment on the price of carbon: the importer pays the internal tax, the exporter is being refunded.

Fix the failures of the Emissions Trading System (ETS) with Border Adjustment Measures on carbon emissions prices
Censored

Political domain, Ecology - Sustainable Development, Scale, Scale - Whole EU, Industry, International relations - Trade agreements, Public Finance - Taxation
Imposing a price to carbon emissions in Europe (in the form of tradeable allowances or of a carbon tax) is detrimental to the external competitiveness of European energy-intensive industries. We propose to set up a border adjustment on the price of carbon: the importer pays the internal tax (or purchases emissions allowances), the exporter is being refunded (or sells emissions allowances). The proposed policy is WTO-compatible and relies on well-proven institutions (e.g. VAT) and technologies....

Support the development of thermal solar energy with high, guaranteed feed-in tariffs for heat
Published

Policy domain, 3-Member State, Networks: Energy - Transport - Telecommmunications, 2-Whole EU, Scale at which decisions are taken, Science - Technology - Innovation, Ecology - Sustainable Development
The only renewable energy that does not take off in Europe is thermal solar energy: solar panels to collect heat for domestic uses (hot water, heating, even air conditioning!). It should however be strongly supported: its yield is excellent, and (contrary to photovoltaic and wind), it stores its output very simply in the form of hot water. Domestic heating and hot water count as major sources of energy consumption (>25% of the total - to be confirmed), so that replacing the current use of fossi...
