THE WHITE HOUSE in Washington seems far away as you look out at icebergs from the seaside town of Nuuk in Greenland, but Donald Trump’s sabre-rattling is never far from people’s lips, as I discovered on a visit there last month. I travelled to Greenland in my capacity as co-chair of the European Green Party. Our delegation included Green and European Free Alliance MEPs from many European countries.

My family WhatsApp messages started coming through from Los Angeles last Wednesday evening. My sister-in-law in South Pasadena fled with her family to San Diego to escape the approaching wildfires. Someone who had worked with my sister has lost her home to the fires, as has the mother-in-law of a neighbour from Dublin. As I write, the death toll is 24 people, and is likely to rise. Meanwhile the red and orange imagery on our screens looms large.

Question for written answer E-000867/2024to the CommissionRule 138Ciarán Cuffe (Verts/ALE), Grace O'Sullivan (Verts/ALE)Insufficiently strong protections and rights are afforded to persons with disabilities under EU law, such as there being no right to travel end-to-end with their mobility equipment. This can mean being denied boarding or mobility equipment being put in the hold, where it can be damaged. To make matters worse, damage to this equipment is then also insufficiently compensated.

Question for written answer E-000611/2024to the CommissionRule 138Ciarán Cuffe (Verts/ALE)The EU should be a manifestation of fairness and equality, including within its institutions.

In the first instance, there is a distinct lack of minority groups reflected in the staffing of the EU institutions.

Dublin Airport authority (DAA)’s creates an unacceptable level of exposure to noise and air pollution for north Dublin residents, and facilitates a massive expansion in aviation emissions. Astonishingly, the plan contains no proposals to reduce or mitigate these impacts in the surrounding areas. It is an affront to the affected communities, and Ireland’s climate efforts. It must be rejected.
