Is-sena 2017 ġabet magħha kemm progress kif ukoll ostakoli f’termini ta’ protezzjoni tad-drittijiet fundamentali. Ir-Rapport dwar id-Drittijiet Fundamentali 2018 tal-FRA jirrevedi żviluppi ewlenin f’dan il-qasam, filwaqt li jidentifika kemm il-kisbiet kif ukoll l-oqsma ta’ tħassib li jifdal.
European societies are not getting any younger! It is a simple truth we must face both about ourselves and Europe as a whole. In two generations, by 2080, those aged 65 or above will account for almost 30% of the European Union’s population.
The year 2017 brought both progress and setbacks in terms of rights protection. The European Pillar of Social Rights marked an important move towards a more ‘social Europe’. But, as experiences with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights underscore, agreement on a text is merely a first step. Even in its eighth year as the EU's binding bill of rights, the Charter's potential was not fully exploited, highlighting the need to more actively promote its use.
Din ilpubblikazzjoni tippreżenta l-opinjonijiet tal-FRA dwar l-iżviluppi ewlenin f’dawn l-oqsma tematiċi u taqsira tal-evidenza li tappoġġa dawn l-opinjonijiet. Meta tagħmel dan, hija tipprovdi ħarsa ġenerali kumpatta iżda informattiva tal-isfidi ewlenin tad-drittijiet fundamentali li qed tiffaċċja kemm l-UE kif ukoll l-Istati Membri tagħha.
