Cuireann an Coimisiún Straitéis AE den chéad uair i láthair maidir le hantisemitism a chomhrac agus beatha Ghiúdach a chothú

The European Commission has presented the first-ever Straitéis an AE maidir leis an bhfrith-Sheimíteachas a chomhrac agus an bheatha Ghiúdach a chothú. With antisemitism worryingly on the rise, in Europe and beyond, the Strategy sets out a series of measures articulated around three pillars: to prevent all forms of antisemitism; to protect and foster Jewish life; and to promote research, education and Holocaust remembrance. The Strategy proposes measures to step up cooperation with online companies to curb antisemitism online, better protect public spaces and places of worship, set up a European research hub on contemporary antisemitism and create a network of sites where the Holocaust happened. These measures will be reinforced by the EU's international efforts to lead the global fight against antisemitism.

Uachtarán an Choimisiúin Eorpaigh, Ursula von der Leyen dúirt: “Today we commit to fostering Jewish life in Europe in all its diversity. We want to see Jewish life thriving again in the heart of our communities. This is how it should be. The Strategy we are presenting today is a step change in how we respond to antisemitism. Europe can only prosper when its Jewish communities feel safe and prosper.”

Vice-President for Promoting our European Way of Life, Margaritis Schinas seo a leanas: “Antisemitism is incompatible with EU values and with our European way of life. This strategy – the first of its kind - is our commitment to combat it in all its forms and to ensure a future for Jewish life in Europe and beyond. We owe it to those who perished in the Holocaust, we owe it to the survivors and we owe it to future generations.”

I dtreo Aontas Eorpach atá saor ó fhrith-Sheimíteachas

The Strategy sets out measures focusing on: (1) preventing and combating all forms of antisemitism; (2) protecting and fostering Jewish life in the EU; and (3) education, research and Holocaust remembrance. These measures are complemented by the EU's international efforts to address antisemitism globally.

I measc cuid de na príomhbhearta sa Straitéis tá:

• Gach cineál frith-Sheimíteachais a chosc agus a chomhrac: Measann naonúr as gach deichniúr Giúdach go bhfuil méadú tagtha ar fhrith-Sheimíteachas ina dtír, agus measann 85% gur fadhb thromchúiseach é. Chun aghaidh a thabhairt air sin, shlógfaidh an Coimisiún cistí an AE agus tacóidh sé leis na Ballstáit a gcuid straitéisí náisiúnta a dhearadh agus a chur chun feidhme. Tacóidh an Coimisiún le gréasán a chruthú ar fud na hEorpa de bhratacha agus d’eagraíochtaí Giúdacha iontaofa chun deireadh a chur le fuathchaint mhídhleathach ar líne. Tacóidh sé freisin le forbairt a dhéanamh ar insintí a chomhrac in aghaidh ábhair fhrith-Seimíteacha ar líne. Comhoibreoidh an Coimisiún le cuideachtaí tionscail agus TF chun taispeáint agus díol mídhleathach siombailí, cuimhneacháin agus litríochta a bhaineann leis na Naitsithe ar líne a chosc.
• Beatha Ghiúdach san AE a chosaint agus a chothú: 38% of Jews have considered emigrating because they do not feel safe as Jews in the EU. To ensure that Jews feel safe and can participate fully in European life, the Commission will provide EU funding to better protect public spaces and places of worship. The next call for proposals will be published in 2022, making available €24 million. Member States are also encouraged to make use of Europol's support regarding counter terrorism activities, both online and offline. To foster Jewish life, the Commission will take measures to safeguard Jewish heritage and raise awareness around Jewish life, culture and traditions.
• Oideachas, taighde agus Cuimhneachán Uileloscadh: Faoi láthair, níor chuala Eorpach amháin as gach 20 trácht ar an Uileloscadh. Chun an chuimhne a choinneáil beo, tacóidh an Coimisiún le gréasán áiteanna a chruthú inar tharla an tUileloscadh, ach nach bhfuil ar eolas i gcónaí, mar shampla áiteanna folaithe nó ionaid lámhaigh. Tacóidh an Coimisiún freisin le líonra nua Ambasadóirí Óga Eorpacha chun cuimhneachán an Uileloscadh a chur chun cinn. Le maoiniú ón AE, tacóidh an Coimisiún le cruthú mol taighde Eorpach ar fhrith-Sheimíteachas comhaimseartha agus ar shaol na nGiúdach, i gcomhar leis na Ballstáit agus leis an bpobal taighde. Chun aird a tharraingt ar oidhreacht na nGiúdach, iarrfaidh an Coimisiún ar chathracha atá ag cur isteach ar an teideal Príomhchathair Chultúir na hEorpa aghaidh a thabhairt ar stair a mionlaigh, lena n-áirítear stair phobail na nGiúdach.

The EU will use all available tools to call on partner countries to combat antisemitism in the EU neighbourhood and beyond, including through cooperation with international organisations. It will ensure that EU external funds may not be misallocated to activities that incite hatred and violence, including against Jewish people. The EU will strengthen EU-Israel cooperation in the fight against antisemitism and promote the revitalisation of Jewish heritage worldwide.

Aiseolas

Na Chéad Chéimeanna Eile

The Strategy will be implemented over the period 2021-2030. The Commission invites the European Parliament and the Council to support the implementation of the strategy and will publish comprehensive implementation reports in 2024 and 2029. Member States have already committed gach cineál frith-Sheimíteachais a chosc agus a chomhrac trí straitéisí nó bearta náisiúnta nua faoi straitéisí náisiúnta atá ann cheana agus/nó pleananna gníomhaíochta chun ciníochas, seineafóibe, radacú agus antoisceachas foréigneach a chosc. Ba cheart straitéisí náisiúnta a ghlacadh faoi dheireadh 2022 agus déanfaidh an Coimisiún measúnú orthu faoi dheireadh 2023.

cúlra

This strategy is the EU's commitment to a future for Jewish life in Europe and beyond. It marks the Commission's political engagement for a European Union free from antisemitism and any form of discrimination, for an open, inclusive and equal society in the EU.

Tar éis Fundamental Rights Colloquium on antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred, in 2015, the Commission appointed its first-ever Coordinator on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life. I mí an Mheithimh 2017, rinne an European Parliament adopted a resolution on combating antisemitism. In December 2018, the Council adopted a Declaration on the fight against antisemitism. In December 2019, the fight against antisemitism became part of the portfolio of the Commission Vice-President for Promoting our European Way of Life, signalling the intention to address it as a crosscutting priority. In December 2020, the Council adopted a further Declaration centered on mainstreaming the fight against antisemitism across policy areas.

Many of the policy areas linked to combating antisemitism are primarily national responsibilities. However, the EU has an important role in providing policy guidance, coordinating actions by Member States, monitoring implementation and progress, providing support via EU funds, and promoting the exchange of good practice between Member States. To this end, the Commission will make its existing ad hoc Working Group on combating antisemitism into a permanent structure, bringing together Member States and Jewish communities.
