On 19 June the European Commission decided to register two European citizens' initiatives.
The ‘Air-Quotas’ initiative calls for a citizens’ carbon quota mechanism in each country that would encourage businesses to decarbonise through consumer demand. The organisers consider that it should cover all purchases of goods and services, starting with air transport.
The ‘Stop Destroying Videogames’ initiative calls for a requirement for publishers of videogames in the EU to leave such games in a functional (playable) state, so to prevent their remote disabling.
These initiatives are the sixth and seventh registered in 2024. The organisers have now six months to open the signature collection.
