Use EU funds in a targeted way and in full

The Greens want to push in Brussels for a social and climate-neutral Europe and use the next EU budget framework for Berlin projects. The administration, businesses and civil society should become able to draw down all available EU money.

The EU gives money for projects in the regions. The Greens want to use this money better for Berlin. It should go to climate protection, research and transport links. The city offices should learn how to claim all of the money.

The party wants to exert influence through Berlin's representation in Brussels and the Committee of the Regions. EU money is to go to cross-border infrastructure, socially balanced climate protection and climate adaptation, and to research and future technologies. Regions should decide on the use of funds together with the organizations carrying out the projects. The administration is to get better at deploying funding so that the European Green Deal becomes a Berlin one. The platform accuses the CDU-SPD coalition of leaving millions in EU funding unclaimed.

Make settling in Berlin easier for EU citizens

The Greens want to make it easier for people from other European countries to get started in Berlin. Qualifications are to be recognized faster, dealings with authorities made simpler and digital, and the administration is to build up more expertise on Europe.

Many people from other European countries live in Berlin. The Greens want to make settling in easier for them. Offices should recognize their job qualifications faster. There should be enough language courses. Offices should work in a simpler and digital way.

The plan calls for quick recognition of training and professional qualifications, counseling free of discrimination, and enough practical language courses. A working group is to identify weak points in everyday dealings with authorities and propose solutions. To speed things up, the Governing Mayor and the district mayors are to sign a "Berlin Europe Pact." Administrative staff are to learn languages, use digital translation tools and hold regular exchanges with experts.
