Support for Ukraine - Caution on Swiss immigration referendum - European rail network - EU-wide emergency call system.

27.02.2014

The European Parliament, supported by the EPP Group, calls for the support of Ukraine to help its democratic transition, approves legislation to establish a single market for rail travel in Europe, and a European system for emergency calls, or eCall, using the number 112. The EPP Group, in a debate on the Swiss referendum calling for tougher immigration controls, urges a time of reflection. But it also says to remain firm on Europe’s stand on free movement inside the Schengen visa-free zone.
