Grußwort des Bürgermeisters zur Veranstaltung Model European Parliament (MEP)

Liebe Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer des Model European Parliament,

ich freue mich sehr, Sie zur Sitzung des Model European Parliament (MEP) vom 16. bis 19. Jänner 2025 in Salzburg begrüßen zu dürfen. Es ist uns eine Ehre, dass diese wichtige Veranstaltung in der Stadt Salzburg stattfindet und durch seine Einzigartigkeit einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur Demokratiebildung unserer Jugend leistet.

Gerade in Zeiten von Konflikten auf dem europäischen Kontinent ist der europäische Gedanke wichtiger denn je. Das Model European Parliament bietet jungen Menschen seit 1994, und damit bereits vor dem österreichischen Beitritt zur EU, die Möglichkeit, ein tiefes europäisches Bewusstsein zu entwickeln. Durch die Beschäftigung mit großen europäischen Themen und das gemeinsame Erarbeiten von Lösungsansätzen gewinnen die Teilnehmer:innen wertvolle Einblicke in den europäischen Integrationsprozess.

Ich wünsche Ihnen allen viel Erfolg und spannende Diskussionen. Möge dieses Treffen in Salzburg dazu beitragen, die gemeinsame europäische Identität zu stärken und dem Europa von morgen den Weg zu weisen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Bernhard Auinger

Bürgermeister der Stadt Salzburg

Committees & Issues

1 Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO)

The question of tech monopolies

Recently, the European Union has started to issue heavy fines and changing regulations to crack down on monopolistic tactics of several tech and social media companies that prevent competition and deliberately limit the choices and opinions of consumers.

How can the Union further protect consumers and tech companies alike from unfair competition by multi-billion corporations while also ensuring that it does not breach free market laws and non-governmental intervention?

2 Committee on Transport/Committee on Environment and Public (TRAN/ENVI)

The question of reducing the CO2 emissions from the transportation sector

Almost a quarter of the EU’s carbon dioxide emissions come from the transportation sector.

What measures need to be taken to reduce the emissions in transportation?

3 Committee on Employment (EMPL)

The question of skills mismatch in the European Union

The issue of skills mismatch in the EU’s internal market has been increasing. According to OECD reports, approximately 80 million European workers possess skills that are incompatible with their jobs, leading to either overqualification or underqualification.

How can educational policies across the EU adapt to the changing environment of the EU’s internal market? What changes can be introduced to schools and universities to ensure an effective absorption into the job market?

4 Committee on Public Health (SANT)

The question of digital technology’s impact on EU citizens’ mental health

Digital technology has become an increasingly big part of our personal and professional lives, as well as of our health care systems. Developments and technologies such as social media, electronic health records, apps, Artificial Intelligence (AI), telehealth and games all bring new opportunities and risks to mental wellbeing and the mental health care field. The impact of these risks and opportunities is likely to be unevenly distributed across the population.

How can the EU provide the necessary measures to minimize negative impact of digital technology and promote positive opportunities in an equal and inclusive way?
