Das geplante Freihandelsabkommen zwischen der EU und Kanada – kurz CETA – trifft bei einer Mehrheit der Österreicherinnen und Österreichern auf wenig Gegenliebe. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine aktuelle österreichweite Umfrage der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Europapolitik (ÖGfE).
73 Prozent der befragten ÖsterreicherInnen lehnen das Freihandelsabkommen zwischen der EU und Kanada ab, 11 Prozent stehen ihm positiv gegenüber. 16 Prozent können oder wollen zu dieser Frage nicht Stellung beziehen.
78 Prozent der Befragten fühlen sich „eher schlecht“ über die Inhalte von CETA informiert, 17 Prozent „eher gut“ (5 Prozent „weiß nicht/Keine Angabe).
Die aktuelle Diskussion über mögliche Vor- und Nachteile des Freihandelsabkommens stößt bei den ÖsterreicherInnen auf geteiltes Interesse: 51 Prozent zeigen sich daran „stark interessiert“, fast ebenso viele (45 Prozent) sind eher „weniger interessiert“ (4 Prozent „weiß nicht/Keine Angabe).
Fragt man die ÖsterreicherInnen nach ihrer generellen Einstellung zum Freihandel, so zeigt sich, dass auch hier die Skepsis überwiegt. 51 Prozent bezeichnen sich „eher als Gegner“, 31 Prozent „eher als Befürworter“. Ein hoher Prozentsatz (20 Prozent) beantwortete diese Frage mit „weiß nicht“ oder gab keine Angabe.
Die aktuelle Umfrage wurde von der Sozialwissenschaftlichen Studiengesellschaft vom 7. bis 13. September 2016 im Auftrag der ÖGfE durchgeführt. Befragt wurden österreichweit 508 Personen per Telefon (repräsentativ für die österreichische Bevölkerung ab 16 Jahre/Gewichtung nach Geschlecht, Alter und Bildung). Maximale Schwankungsbreite ca. +/- 4,5 Prozent. Differenz auf 100 Prozent aufgrund gerundeter Werte.

The prospect for a permanent debt competence of the European Commission
By: Georg Vobruba
NextGenerationEU (NGEU) is not the first EU bond programme of the European Commission, but it differs significantly from all its predecessors in terms of volume, earmarking, and issuance technique. The reactions on the capital market show great interest in bonds issued by the European Union, and this speaks for the continuation of the European Commission's debt competence as well as the formation of new institutions for its management. The expectation that NGEU offers an instrument against problematic developments in individual EU member states might work in the same sense, but nevertheless, EU community debt is not a panacea for all kinds of problems, argues the author of this Policy Brief. Against this background, he analyses the interests working towards a stabilisation of debt competence and the question of whether community debt could be the appropriate mode of financing for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

Progress has been made in all areas of the Green Deal, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reversing biodiversity loss and advancing the circular economy. However, Europe needs to show leadership and prove to the world that despite the pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine, it continues to pursue a socially just path towards climate neutrality by reinventing its model for a social market economy.
