Mental Health: Commissioner Kyriakides takes part in a debate with young people
Tomorrow, Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Stella Kyriakides, will discuss the topic of mental health with young Europeans during an event organised under the European Year of Youth 2022. In the EU, already before the COVID-19 pandemic, around one in six European citizens (around 84 million people) were affected by mental health issues. According to the Health At A Glance Report 2022, the share of young people reporting symptoms of depression in several EU Member States more than doubled during the pandemic and that almost one in two young Europeans reported unmet needs for mental health care.
The dialogue will be an occasion for young people to exchange on their experiences and provide suggestions and insights to move towards a new approach to mental health that truly delivers for all EU citizens. The participants come from all over the EU and Ukraine. Some have been affected by cancer, others are volunteering for organisations such as the Red Cross or work in the healthcare sector. The dialogue will also be attended by two representatives of the European Youth Forum.
In her State of the Union speech last year, President von der Leyen called for a new and comprehensive approach to mental health. This proposal responds to the Conference on the Future of Europe conclusions, which called for initiatives to improve the understanding of mental health issues and effective actions to address them. This dialogue is part of the consultation process and will feed into the upcoming Commission proposal. The dialogue will start at 14h30 and can be followed live via web streaming.

Road safety in the EU: fatalities below pre-pandemic levels but progress remains too slow
Today the Commission is publishing preliminary figures on road fatalities for 2022. Around 20,600 people were killed in road crashes last year, a 3% increase on 2021 as traffic levels recovered after the pandemic. This represents however 2,000 fewer fatalities (-10%) compared with the pre-pandemic year 2019. The EU and UN target is to halve the number of road deaths by 2030.
Contrasting trends across Member States
EU-wide, road deaths in 2022 rose by 3% on the previous year, not least as traffic levels recovered levels following the pandemic. Importantly, many of the gains achieved during the COVID-19 period (including a fall of 17% between 2019 and 2020) have not been lost. Compared with 2019, the number of deaths in 2022 fell by 10%.
However, progress has been very uneven between Member States. The largest decreases, of more than 30%, were reported in Lithuania and Poland, with Denmark also recording a 23% fall. By contrast, over the last three years, the number of road deaths in countries such as Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Sweden has remained rather stable or has risen¹ .
The overall ranking of countries' fatality rates has not changed significantly since prior to the pandemic with the safest roads in Sweden (21 deaths per one million inhabitants) and Denmark (26/million) while Romania (86/million) and Bulgaria (78/million) reported the highest rates in 2022. The EU average was 46 road deaths per million inhabitants.
Most affected groups
Based on available data for 2021 (detailed 2022 data is not yet available) across the EU, 52% of road traffic fatalities occurred on rural roads, versus 39% in urban areas and 9% on motorways. Men accounted for three out of four road deaths (78%). Car occupants (drivers and passengers) accounted for 45% of all road deaths while pedestrians represented 18%, users of powered two-wheelers (motorbikes and mopeds) 19% and cyclists 9% of total fatalities.
Within urban areas, the pattern is however very different with vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists and users of powered two-wheelers) representing just under 70% of total fatalities. Urban road user fatalities occur overwhelmingly in crashes involving cars and trucks and thus highlight the need to improve the protection of vulnerable road users.
While the increased share of cycling in the mobility mix in many Member States is extremely welcome, a serious cause for concern is the trend in the number of cyclists killed on EU roads. This is the only road user group not to see a significant drop in fatalities over the last decade, which is notably due to a persistent lack of well-equipped infrastructure. In 2022, for example, preliminary figures from France show a 30% increase in cycling fatalities compared with 2019.
Background
In 2018, the EU has set itself a 50% reduction target for road deaths – and, for the first time, also serious injuries – by 2030. This was set out in the Commission's Strategic Action Plan on Road Safety and EU road safety policy framework 2021-2030 which also lay out road safety plans aiming to reach zero road deaths by 2050 (‘Vision Zero').
Road safety has also been a core element of recent EU mobility policy initiatives including the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, the Commission proposal for a revision of the TEN-T regulation and the Urban Mobility Framework.
The EU is at the forefront of the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety, proclaimed by the UN for 2021–2030 in August 2020.
In the coming weeks, the Commission will present a package of proposals tackling road safety from a range of angles to make European roads safer still.

The 2022 figures are based on preliminary data for most countries and are subject to changes when the final data are released in autumn 2023. Estimates for 2022 cover the whole year and all roads and refer to deaths within 30 days but for the following countries they are based on partial data: Germany and Greece (each 11 months), Belgium and Hungary (each 9 months), Spain (rural roads), Netherlands (partial data; also, police-registered fatalities are under-reported by around 10-15%), Portugal (fatalities within 24 hours), Switzerland (6 months). No data for Liechtenstein for 2022.
Data for 2022 are compared with three time-periods: 2021 (the previous year), 2019 (the baseline year for the target of 50% fewer deaths by 2030) and the average of 2017-19 (to take account of fluctuations in small countries). The percentage changes in the table are based on the absolute number of fatalities, not the rate per million population.

Fisheries, aquaculture and marine ecosystems: transition to clean energy and ecosystem protection for more sustainability and resilience
Today, the Commission is presenting a package of measures to improve the sustainability and resilience of the EU's fisheries and aquaculture sector. It includes four elements: A Communication on the Energy Transition of the EU Fisheries and Aquaculture sector; an Action Plan to protect and restore marine ecosystems for sustainable and resilient fisheries; a Communication on the common fisheries policy today and tomorrow and a Report on the Common Market Organisation for fishery and aquaculture products.
The main objectives of the measures are to promote the use of cleaner energy sources and reduce dependency on fossil fuels as well as reduce the sector's impact on marine ecosystems. The proposed actions will be carried out gradually to help the sector adapt. A ‘Pact for Fisheries and Oceans' will also support the full implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in coordination with Member States and fisheries stakeholders, including fishers, producer organisations, regional advisory councils, civil society and scientists. The proposals also have at its heart making the sector an attractive job place for the younger generations.
Net zero emissions fisheries and aquaculture sector by 2050
The sector's current dependency on fossil fuels is not only environmentally unsustainable, but also makes it vulnerable to energy price increases. When fuel prices increased in 2021 and 2022, many vessels stayed in port and the sector required financial support as a large part of the EU fishing fleet was unable to cover operational costs. Aquaculture was similarly exposed to higher prices of both fuel and feed. The sector benefited from EU financial support.
The Commission is today proposing to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and aim towards climate neutral fisheries and aquaculture sector, in line with one of the ambitions of the European Green Deal to reach climate neutrality in the EU by 2050. It is proposing measures to support the sector in accelerating its energy transition, by improving fuel efficiency and switching to renewable, low-carbon power sources.
One of the key actions is an Energy Transition Partnership for EU Fisheries and Aquaculture. It will bring together all stakeholders, including in fisheries, aquaculture, shipbuilding, ports, energy, NGOs, national and regional authorities, to collectively address the challenges of the sector's energy transition.
The Commission will also work to close the gaps in the transfer of technology from research and innovation to application; to promote the development of skills among the workforce; and to improve the business environment, including in financing opportunities and awareness.
Protecting marine ecosystems for sustainable fisheries
Climate change, biodiversity loss and ocean pollution threaten the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture resources. The Commission is presenting a marine action plan to reinforce the CFP's contribution to the EU's environmental objectives and reduce the adverse impact of fishing activities on marine ecosystems, particularly through seabed disturbance, by-catch of sensitive species and effects on marine food webs. A healthy marine environment with healthy fish stocks and rich biodiversity is the only way to ensure a prosperous future for EU fisheries communities in the medium and long term.
The action plan contributes to delivering on the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and its commitment to legally and effectively protect 30% of our seas, with one third being strictly protected. To fulfil this goal, the Commission calls on Member States to take fisheries conservation measures to protect and manage marine protected areas (MPAs) effectively, with a clear timeline. These efforts should include the protection of fish spawning and nursery areas, the reduction of fish mortality rates and the restoration of core areas for sensitive species and habitats.
The plan also aims to reduce the impact of fishing on the seabed. Urgent protection and restoration of seabed habitats in MPAs is critical, given their significance as hotspots of EU marine biodiversity and the importance of blue carbon in marine habitats for tackling climate change. The Commission, therefore, calls on Member States to propose joint recommendations and take national measures to phase out mobile bottom fishing in all MPAs by 2030 at the latest and not to allow it in any newly established MPAs. First measures should be taken already by March 2024 for Natura 2000 sites under the Habitats Directive that protect the seabed and marine species.
The action plan also proposes actions to increase the selectivity of fishing gear and practices and to reduce the incidental catches of threatened species, setting a timetable to help Member States prioritise those species that require most protection.
As oceans and seas cover 71% of the Earth's surface and more than 65% of EU territory, today's action plan will also be part of the EU's contribution to the implementation of the recently agreed Kunming-Montréal biodiversity agreement .
‘Pact for Fisheries and Oceans' to help implement the common fisheries policy
The common fisheries policy continues to be the adequate legal framework to address the challenges that EU fisheries and the seas on which they depend are facing, giving the necessary stability to the fisheries sector and allowing the EU to lead by example in driving sustainable fisheries worldwide. The three main principles on which the policy is based are still relevant today: environmental, social and economic sustainability; effective regional cooperation; and science-based decision-making. However, several challenges remain for the CFP to be fully implemented, and faster and more structural transformation is needed to reduce environmental and climate impacts of fishing and aquaculture. This is necessary to restore a healthy marine environment and ensure food security, as well as to help the sector become more resilient, increase energy efficiency and contribute to climate neutrality quickly. This will help to save on fuel costs and thrive on green energy.
In order to establish a united vision for the future of the fisheries and aquaculture sector, to reconfirm the joint commitment to fully implement the CFP to launch discussions between fisheries managers and stakeholders on future-proofing the policy in terms of both social and environmental resilience, the Commission proposes a ‘Pact for Fisheries and Oceans', bringing together all stakeholders. The ‘Pact for Fisheries and Oceans' opens a new phase of dialogue and cooperation between the Commission and all fisheries stakeholders. It will build common understanding of the objectives to be achieved and help adapt the policy where necessary.
In 2020, there were 124,630 people employed in EU commercial fisheries and 57,000 in aquaculture. The common fisheries policy (CFP) aims to ensure long-term environmental, economic, and social sustainability for fisheries and aquaculture; the availability of food supplies; and a fair standard of living for fisheries and aquaculture communities.
Ten years after the reform of the common fisheries policy, the Commission is reporting on the functioning of the policy, as well as of the common market organisation. At the same time, it also takes the opportunity to set its vision for sustainable fisheries of the future.

We want to establish a ‘Pact for Fisheries and Oceans’ to work together with everyone to ensure sustainable and resilient fisheries, protect and restore our marine ecosystems, make the sector profitable and strengthen our food security in the long-term. We are proposing concrete actions to restore marine ecosystems and to reduce the impact of fishing activities on the marine environment, thus responding also to the commitments the EU made in the historic agreement reached at COP15 in Montreal on a new global biodiversity framework. We are also promoting an energy transition to help the sector adapt its vessels and equipment, improve working conditions and move towards renewable, low-carbon energy sources. We know this is a challenging task. For this reason, the transformation will be gradual and we will promote dialogue between all communities to lay the foundation for a resilient fisheries and aquaculture sector.
Virginijus Sinkevičius, Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries - 21/02/2023
Much of our economy depends on nature. Fisheries are quite possibly the sector where this link is most direct. Europe’s marine ecosystems and the fish, shellfish, algae, and plants that are part of them are crucial to the economic viability of fisheries. With these proposals we aim to build a sustainable relationship with our seas. The European Commission will work with local fishing communities, the aquaculture and fisheries sector and help them adopt sustainable practices, from reducing energy usage to using more selective fishing gear. As part of efforts to restore and protect nature, we also ask Member States to phase out bottom trawling in fragile areas. When we ensure the sustainability of fisheries we invest in the resilience and future of the sector and its workers. Working together, we can find the right balance and establish healthy marine ecosystems all over Europe.
Frans Timmermans, Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal - 21/02/2023

NextGenerationEU: Two years on since its adoption, the Recovery and Resilience Facility continues to be a central driver of the EU's green and digital transformation
The European Commission has today adopted a Communication marking the two-year anniversary of the creation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the key instrument at the heart of the EUR 800 billion NextGenerationEU recovery plan for Europe.
The Communication takes stock of the concrete results achieved so far through the RRF's unprecedented double-push for green and digital reforms and investments in Member States. It also outlines further steps for supporting the continued successful implementation of national recovery and resilience plans. The annexes to the Communication clarify certain technical aspects of the way in which the Commission assesses Member States' progress.
President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said: “Our recovery plan NextGenerationEU has become even more than a vital response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two years after the creation of the fund, we have already disbursed more than EUR 140 billion and we overachieved our initial investment targets for the green and digital transitions. Now, with Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine and a global energy crisis, the fund has become a key element of our Green Deal Industrial Plan. It will support our Member States on the road to net-zero, with the additional financial boost of REPowerEU. NextGenerationEU has proven to be a capable instrument to address many different challenges our Union is being confronted with. The transformative reforms through Member States' national recovery plans are key to modernize and strengthen our European Union. Speedy implementation should continue.”
Supporting the post-pandemic recovery while addressing new challenges
Since its creation two years ago, the RRF has had a transformative impact on Member States' economies, for instance driving reforms of the civil and criminal justice systems in Italy, labour market reforms in Spain, improving affordable housing in Latvia, promoting investments in offshore renewables in Greece and enabling the digitalisation of schools and businesses in Portugal.
These changes are being enabled by the RRF's unique design, which combines national plans for reforms and investments with common priorities and funding. When looking at Member States' recovery and resilience plans, we see that around EUR 203 billion of the total allocation contribute to measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. Around EUR 131 billion contribute to measures to digitally transform Europe's economies and societies. Around EUR 138 billion has been dedicated to social spending and policies for the next generation.
The RRF's design is steering a virtuous cycle of change, whereby the reforms put forward by Member States lay the ground for the subsequent investments set out in their recovery and resilience plans, as well as those driven by other EU funds, national funds and, crucially, the private sector. In the medium-term, the Commission estimates that the investments funded by NextGenerationEU could boost the EU's GDP by around 1.5% in 2024, and further stimulate job creation.
The RRF was established in the context of the COVID-19 crisis to support Member States' economic and social recovery. It has been a vital response to the pandemic-induced economic downturn. It has been delivering reforms and investments, fast-forwarding the green and digital transitions and increasing the Union's overall resilience. The RRF's implementation is now taking place in a very different context, marked by Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, high inflation, and an energy crisis.
Against this constantly evolving backdrop, the RRF has proven to be a highly agile instrument, able to address several newly emerging challenges. It therefore remains at the core of our efforts to address the priorities linked to the EU's energy security, industrial competitiveness, and the industrial transition to a net-zero economy.
Accelerating the implementation to deliver on the EU's priorities
To date, the Commission has disbursed over EUR 144 billion under the RRF, including both grants (EUR 96 billion) and loans (EUR 48 billion). Many more disbursements are expected as we move towards the second half of the RRF's lifetime. Member States should make their best efforts to fully use the opportunities provided by the RRF and deliver in line with the timelines they committed to in their plans.
In the Spring of 2023, Member States are expected to complement their recovery and resilience plans with REPowerEU chapters, to provide a joint response to the global energy crisis. The new or scaled-up reforms and investments included in the chapters, financed by the RRF's strengthened financial firepower of up to EUR 270 billion, will enable Member States to rapidly phase out the EU's dependence on Russian fossil fuels and accelerate the clean energy transition.
The REPowerEU-driven reforms and investments, which we encourage Member States to present as soon as possible, will also deliver on the synergies foreseen by the EU's Green Deal Industrial Plan. They will finance measures promoting the greening of industry, supporting EU net-zero industry projects, incentivising R&I zero emission breakthrough technologies and assisting industries in the face of high-energy prices, including through tax breaks.
Increasing transparency and stakeholder engagement to improve efficiency and predictability
The accelerated implementation of the RRF and the efficient delivery on its objectives go hand in hand with a high level of transparency on the functioning of the Facility. The Commission always strives for the utmost transparency, and has for this purpose set up the Recovery and Resilience Scoreboard, providing real-time information on the disbursements and progress made by Member States.
The REPowerEU Regulation further increases transparency by requiring Member States to publish information on the 100 largest final recipients for each national plan. It also strengthens the role of stakeholders – with a focus on local and regional authorities and social partners – most notably at the stage of preparing the REPowerEU chapters.
Today's Communication also presents two implementation tools to add predictability and transparency to the RRF. Outlined in the annexes to this Communication, the Commission is sharing its framework to assess the satisfactory fulfilment of milestones and targets when processing payment requests. It is also publishing a methodology to determine the amount to be suspended in case of a Member State's partial achievement of the milestones and targets related to a payment request. These tools come in addition to the Commission's guidance on the revision of the plans in the context of REPowerEU adopted on 1 February.
Next steps
Next year's mid-term term evaluation of the RRF will provide another opportunity to take stock and assess the progress made and lessons learnt from the implementation of the RRF.

“The Recovery and Resilience Facility continues to drive the transformation of Member States’ economies. Thanks to its forward-looking design, the RRF will also play a central role in revamping our energy systems and supporting net-zero industries in Europe. We are today setting out the path to a faster and more efficient implementation of the Facility in the period ahead. The Commission will be receptive to reasonable requests to update national plans, as long as a high level of ambition is preserved. We will also continue to be pragmatic in assessing whether milestones and targets are met. We are today also setting out how the Commission would adjust payments in the event that some milestones or targets are not met. Member States will then have six months to deliver fully on them.”
Valdis Dombrovskis, Executive Vice-President for an Economy that Works for People - 21/02/2023
“In the two years since the launch of the groundbreaking Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Commission has disbursed more than €144 billion to drive forward transformational investments and reforms. With RRF support, Member States are rolling clean energy infrastructure, digitalising schools, enabling the creation of more and better jobs and making it easier for firms to invest and grow. Building on the valuable lessons learned over the past two years, the Commission is today setting out how it will continue to support Members States in implementing their recovery and resilience plans. As part of this, we are publishing a transparent methodology for the partial suspension of payments, should this prove necessary.”
