A healthy environment for a good quality of life - The Green 10 top ten demands for the 2014 European Parliament elections

Europe is struggling to find its way out of multiple crises. Austerity measures in reaction to the economic crisis are causing untold human suffering.

This will help Europe create new jobs, regain competitiveness, address the climate crisis and improve quality of life within the limits of our planet.
