Images of barbed wire fencing between Hungary and its neighbours, migrants storming the Eurotunnel - it’s all become familiar, so quickly, and with a shocking interpretation of EU human rights standards by some states. Overwhelmed, politically and emotionally, Europe’s political leadership is struggling to find an effective response to the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing North Africa and the Middle East.

So what can really be done by the EU institutions (Commission, Parliament, specialized agencies) and by the member states with the more than one million immigrants and refugees who have already arrived this year in EU states?

Euranet Plus and Radio România, public service, the Romanian Euranet Plus member, discussed the crisis in a bilingual debate moderated by journalist Luoana Plesea of Radio România (in Romanian) and Brian Maguire of the Euranet Plus News Agency in Brussels (in English). Students from the campus radio stations affiliated to Euranet Plus from Romania (UBB Radio, Cluj-Napoca) and Spain (Universidade de Vigo) also joined the debate.

The Euranet Plus debate with MEPs and judicial experts asked if EU citizens really enjoy the right to fair justice within EU borders. What are the limits to a right to a fair trial, and justice in general? Is the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty fully respected in all the 28 Member States? Are the basic rights of suspects and accused persons sufficiently protected in the EU? Panelist also assessed a potential calendar for the proposed EU Directive on fair trial rights.

The debate was jointly produced by Euranet Plus and RTV SLO, public service, the Slovenian Euranet Plus member station, and hosted by RTV SLO's journalist Breda Čepe (in Slovenian) and Brian Maguire of the Euranet Plus News Agency in Brussels (in English).

How can the regional level bring the citizens closer to the EU and answer their needs despite the pan-European interests represented in the European cohesion policy?

This Citizens’ Corner was produced in partnership with Radio România, a member of the Euranet Plus network.

Images of barbed wire fencing between Hungary and its neighbours, migrants storming the Eurotunnel - it’s all become familiar, so quickly, and with a shocking interpretation of EU human rights standards by some states. Overwhelmed, politically and emotionally, Europe’s political leadership is struggling to find an effective response to the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing North Africa and the Middle East.

So what can really be done by the EU institutions (Commission, Parliament, specialized agencies) and by the member states with the more than one million immigrants and refugees who have already arrived this year in EU states?

Euranet Plus and Radio România, public service, the Romanian Euranet Plus member, discussed the crisis in a bilingual debate moderated by journalist Luoana Plesea of Radio România (in Romanian) and Brian Maguire of the Euranet Plus News Agency in Brussels (in English). Students from the campus radio stations affiliated to Euranet Plus from Romania (UBB Radio, Cluj-Napoca) and Spain (Universidade de Vigo) also joined the debate.

Are the EU citizens well informed about the measures taken by the EU? What have we learned from recent scandals in Europe, such as the horse meat scandal? And what about the national states – what do they do to offer their citizens good food? It is these vital questions that were discussed during the Citizens’ Corner debate, which featured MEPs involved with food safety, students from the Euranet Plus campus radio network and EU citizens who raised their concerns and question.
