15/05/2020 (Agence Europe) – The European Commission decided, on Friday 15 May, to register two new European Citizens' Initiatives entitled ‘Start Unconditional Basic Incomes (UBI) throughout the EU’ and ‘Freedom to share’. The Commission considers both initiatives to be legally admissible as they met the necessary conditions. At this stage, it has not analysed the substance of these initiatives. The first ECI aims to establish the introduction of unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU. The other aims to legalise sharing - via digital networks, for personal use and for non-profit purposes - of files containing works and other material protected by copyright, related rights and ‘sui generis’ database rights.
