Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing

Riassunto Political advertising is central to influencing how people vote, and may affect citizens' perceptions of the legitimacy of
their own political system, particularly when published in the run-up to elections. Rules governing political advertising
are therefore key to guaranteeing citizens' fundamental rights and the integrity of democratic processes. So, it is not
without reason that regulating political propaganda during electoral periods is one of the common focal points of
electoral law. However, traditional rules on campaigning may either be ineffective or difficult to enforce in an online
environment where new techniques are used to target potential voters with tailored political messages based on large
amounts of personal data revealing their sensibilities and vulnerabilities. To address the new challenges posed by
online electoral campaigns, the European Commission presented a proposal that aims to build a harmonised set of
rules on transparency and targeting of political advertising, and would apply to both online and offline political
advertisements. The proposal is currently under discussion by the European Parliament and the Council through the
ordinary legislative procedure. In the Parliament, the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO)
is responsible for the file. The rapporteur presented his draft report to the committee on 16 June 2022. First edition.

Riassunto During the May I plenary session, Parliament is expected to vote on a legislative-initiative report proposing to repeal
the 1976 European Electoral Act and replace it with a new Council Regulation on the election of the Members of the
European Parliament (MEPs) by direct universal suffrage. Since the first European elections in 1979, the rules
applying to the election of MEPs combine the common principles established in the European Electoral Act, as
modified in 2002, and the different national rules implementing them. As a result, important elements of the electoral
procedure remain in the hands of the national legislatures and there is no harmonisation across the Member States.
Following the proposals in Parliament's (26 November 2020) resolution on stocktaking of European elections, the
report proposes to further harmonise the rules applicable to European elections in areas such as the age for voting or
standing as a candidate; postal voting; the electoral calendar for European elections; the principles applicable to the
selection of candidates, including from a gender perspective; and the electoral threshold. In addition, the report
proposes to establish a common electoral system and procedure for the election of 28 MEPs in a Union-wide
constituency comprising the territory of all the Member States. Once finalised by Parliament, the proposal is
transmitted to the Council for its adoption, with the EP required to consent to the final text. First edition. The 'EU

Riassunto Le norme applicabili alle elezioni europee non sono uniformi in tutta l'Unione. Gli Stati membri applicano norme
elettorali nazionali diverse, anche se tutti devono rispettare i principi comuni stabiliti nell'Atto elettorale europeo del
1976. Il Parlamento prevede di sottoporre a votazione nella tornata di maggio I un'iniziativa legislativa che propone di
abrogare l'atto elettorale europeo con un nuovo regolamento del Consiglio che armonizza ulteriormente le norme
applicabili alle elezioni europee, anche attraverso la creazione di una circoscrizione elettorale a livello dell'Unione.

Riassunto This is the fourth briefing within a series exploring citizens' expectations and recommendations in the context of the
Conference on the Future of Europe, and presenting the European Parliament's response. The briefing focuses on
citizens' proposals relating to EU common values, especially the rule of law. Citizens have placed EU values, including
democracy, the rule of law and the protection of human rights, at the core of a common European identity, and
discussed ways to enhance and protect these values. They have highlighted the need to deepen people's awareness
and understanding of these values, and encourage dialogue on them. They believe that democratic culture and respect
for fundamental rights and the rule of law should be strengthened, and that Member States' performance should be
monitored closely against the benchmark of EU values. They have called for the procedure under Article 7 of the
Treaty on European Union (TEU) to be made more effective, and for the General Conditionality Regulation to be
applied without delay. Parliament's resolutions and input to the legislative process leading to the adoption of the
General Conditionality Regulation are largely in tune with citizens' sentiments. Parliament has called repeatedly for the
establishment of a comprehensive EU pact on democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights. In its feedback to the
Commission's annual rule of law reports, Parliament has called for more country-specific recommendations with a clear
blueprint for action. Parliament has been very critical of the Commission for unnecessarily delaying the application of
the General Conditionality Regulation. It has also firmly upheld the primacy of EU law: the cornerstone of the rule of
law in the EU and the key prerequisite for EU integration.

Parole chiave cittadino dell'UE | conferenza europea | Europa dei cittadini | movimento europeo | visione dell'Europa
Riassunto The Conference on the Future of Europe was designed to give the general public a say about their vision for the EU,
by means of a multilingual digital platform and citizens' panels. The panels are transnational forums, gathering citizens
from the EU Member States to discuss their vision for the future of the Union and make recommendations on how the
EU could be improved. The resulting proposals are diverse but constructive. They include interesting, sometimes
ambitious, suggestions for the future and in many respects are geared towards building a more efficient, integrated
Union that is closer to its citizens. This briefing focuses on the recommendations made by Panel 2 (European
democracy / values, rights, rule of law and security), and recommendations uploaded onto the multilingual digital
platform (under European democracy). The latter are predominantly constitutional and institutional in nature and
therefore tackle broader issues, such as reform of the EU institutional set-up, improvements to the EU decision-making
process, closer cooperation among Member States and a stronger European Parliament. In many respects, the
overview given in this briefing shows how Parliament has been very active in making proposals and endorsing
changes in almost all the fields where citizens have expressed the need for the EU to take action. While the citizens'
panels have been an interesting and innovative exercise in participatory democracy, the outcome of the conference
has still to take shape, and will be captured in a final report to be issued when its work ends in spring 2022. This is the
first in a series of briefings that will look at citizens' expectations and recommendations in the context of the
Conference on the Future of Europe, and the European Parliament's response.

Riassunto The authorisation of the first Covid-19 vaccines by the European Commission in December 2020 dovetailed with EU
Member States' efforts to roll out mass vaccination campaigns to halt the spread of the coronavirus. Amid rising
numbers of Covid-19 cases and fears surrounding what might be the impact of the Omicron variant, those efforts were
renewed at the end of 2021, including the roll-out of booster doses and vaccines for children. However, despite
progress in some Member States, as of March 2022, only 72 % of the EU population is fully vaccinated (primary
course). Low vaccination rates have sparked debates around how to increase vaccine uptake. On 1 December 2021,
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said it was time for the EU to 'think about mandatory
vaccination'. Two weeks later, the European Council reiterated the 'vital importance of vaccination in the fight against
the pandemic', suggesting the need to step up vaccination campaigns and address vaccine hesitancy. Although there
is no common approach to mandatory vaccination against Covid-19 at EU level, some Member States are trying to
increase vaccine uptake among their populations by making vaccination compulsory. For the time being, only three
Member States are imposing a vaccination mandate on all adults (Austria) or on specific age groups (Greece and
Italy), although Austria has just decided to postpone the application of the obligation. Other Member States require
certain categories of workers, e.g. in healthcare or public services, to get vaccinated so as to be able to continue
exercising their professional activities (Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Latvia and Hungary), or allow employers to
impose such a mandate on their employees (Estonia and, until 6 March 2022, Hungary). Finally, in some other
Member States, access to certain public spaces is only possible for those fully vaccinated or having recovered from
Covid-19 (Germany, France, Italy and Latvia). This briefing looks at the experiences of selected Member States
imposing compulsory vaccination for Covid-19 and analyses the EU legal framework applicable to those national rules.

Parliaments in emergency mode: Lessons learnt after two years of pandemic

Riassunto The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 presented parliamentary institutions around the world with a
new and unprecedented scenario. Parliamentary rules of procedure in representative democracies are commonly built
upon the principles of pluralism, deliberation and transparency, aiming to provide an arena in which representatives of
the people have the opportunity to publicly confront each other's points of view in a free and fair setting. It is, therefore,
safe to say that ordinary parliamentary practice and procedures are essentially incompatible with measures seeking to
minimise social contacts and discourage − or directly forbid − mass gatherings. As a logical result of the adoption of
the first restrictive measures aiming to limit the spread of the virus adopted in EU Member States in the first months of
2020, parliaments followed suit and implemented specific measures aiming to ensure the continuity of parliamentary
business while limiting the spread of the virus and protecting the health of their members and staff. In the early days of
the pandemic, the European Parliament, together with some other EU national parliaments rushed to digitalise
parliamentary activities in an attempt to ensure that all members could take part in parliamentary proceedings despite
the crisis situation. Some EU national parliaments opted to adopt decisions with a reduced number of members and
others decided to adopt social distancing measures, while at the same time ensuring that all members could continue
to take part in parliamentary activities. Nearly two years on from the beginning of the pandemic and with Covid-19
infection rates spiking all over Europe due to the Omicron variant, it is time to take stock of the lessons learnt from this
health crisis from the point of view of parliamentary law. In this vein, this publication updates a previous briefing of April
2020 and analyses the modifications in the working methods of the European Parliament and selected EU national
parliaments throughout the pandemic, aiming to show the advantages, but also the possible drawbacks of the new
practices.

Riassunto The European Parliament has been trying to strengthen its powers to conduct in-depth investigations into
contraventions or maladministration in the implementation of Union law since 2012, but has so far failed to gain the
consent of the Commission or Council for the modification of the legal framework applicable to its committees of
inquiry. These powers may also be discussed as part of the Conference on the future of Europe. Analysing the scope
and functioning of Parliament's committees of inquiry, this publication offers an insight into the controversy surrounding
the negotiations concerning Parliament's proposal for a new regulation on the right of inquiry.

Settore di intervento Democrazia UE, diritto istituzionale e parlamentare
Riassunto Hearings are used by parliamentary committees as a way to obtain evidence on specific subjects to inform their work
and as public forums to give citizens access to information on policy issues. Committee hearings take different forms
depending on their specific purposes. Oversight and legislative hearings are frequently used to hold the executive to
account and to inform parliaments' choices as regards proposed or adopted legislation. Investigative hearings, usually
held in the context of parliamentary inquiries, often have distinctive features, with some parliaments granted the right to
summon witnesses and take testimony under oath. Finally, some parliaments have relevant appointment powers as
regards key positions in the executive or the judiciary and may use pre-appointment hearings to test the suitability of
candidates or extract commitments from them. The European Parliament's committees frequently organise public
hearings with experts for oversight and legislative purposes. They also hold public hearings on European citizens'
initiatives, once a given initiative has gathered the necessary public support. Also relevant in the European
Parliament's committee work are pre-appointment hearings, in particular those held as part of the procedure for
appointing the members of the European Commission. European Parliament committees of inquiry can also invite
different categories of witnesses to provide evidence. US Congressional committees, meanwhile, hold oversight,
investigative, legislative and confirmation hearings, the latter being peculiar to the Senate, as the President has the
power to nominate people to key positions in the executive and judiciary branch 'with the advice and consent of the
Senate'. In the context of the ongoing internal discussion launched by the President of the European Parliament, David
Sassoli, on how to make the Parliament a more resilient and effective institution in the wake of the coronavirus
pandemic, this Briefing provides an overview of how committee hearings are organised and conducted in both the
European Parliament and the US Congress.

Riassunto The Return Directive is the main piece of EU (European Union) legislation governing the procedures and criteria to be
applied by Member States when returning irregularly staying third-country nationals, and a cornerstone of EU return
policy. Taking into account the decrease in the EU return rate (from 45.8 % in 2016 to 28.9 % in 2019) and following
European Council and Council calls to review the 2008 legal text to enhance the effectiveness of EU return policy, in
September 2018 the Commission proposed a targeted recast of the directive aiming to 'reduce the length of return
procedures, secure a better link between asylum and return procedures, and ensure a more effective use of measures
to prevent absconding'. In the 2014-2019 parliamentary term, whereas the Council reached a partial general approach
on the proposal, the European Parliament did not reach a position. A draft report was presented to the Committee on
Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) but was not adopted. After the 2019 elections, Parliament decided to
resume work on the proposal. A new draft report was published on 21 February 2020, but it was not presented in the
LIBE committee until 10 September 2020 on account of delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The deadline for
tabling amendments expired on 23 September 2020 and the LIBE committee is currently considering the 754
amendments tabled. Third edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the

Riassunto This study examines the normative response of the 27 EU Member States during the first phase of the Covid 19
pandemic (March to mid June 2020) and parliamentary oversight over the measures adopted. The study reveals that
Member States' normative responses to the pandemic were generally efficient, as very few of them were not
preventively equipped with a set of rules enabling the national authorities to adopt the containment measures needed
to address the first peak of the health crisis, and because the Member States lacking those normative tools were able
to adopt the necessary empowering legislative acts quickly. The study also reveals that all EU national parliaments
played some role in the management of the pandemic, either through the supervision of the measures adopted by the
executive to contain the spread of the virus or through the exercise of their ordinary legislative and budgetary powers
to provide the government with the normative tools needed to address the pandemic.

Riassunto On 26 August 2020, Commissioner Phil Hogan tendered his resignation to the President of the European Commission
following controversy over his participation in an Oireachtas (Irish Parliament) Golf Society dinner attended by more
than 80 people, despite the applicable Irish public health guidelines adopted to contain the spread of Covid-19 limiting
gatherings to a fraction of that number. In addition, questions were raised as to whether he had complied with
applicable restrictions on movements after his arrival in Ireland. Although President Ursula von der Leyen had not
formally requested his resignation, she accepted it and thanked Commissioner Hogan for 'his tireless and successful
work' during the current mandate as Trade Commissioner and in his previous mandate as Agriculture and Rural
Development Commissioner. Consequently, the procedure to replace him has started, with President von der Leyen
requesting that the Irish government propose both a female and a male candidate. On 4 September, the Irish
government proposed two candidates to replace Phil Hogan: Mairead McGuinness, current European Parliament First
Vice-President, and Andrew McDowell, a recent European Investment Bank Vice-President. On 8 September,
President von der Leyen announced she had chosen Mairead McGuinness, and that she would take over financial
services, financial stability and the capital markets union from Valdis Dombrovskis. The latter would take the trade
portfolio permanently (having already taken it temporarily in the meantime), while continuing in his role of Executive
Vice-President. Parliament is now expected to organise hearings with both.

Riassunto With the first case of unknown pneumonia reported in the province of Wuhan (People's Republic of China) on 31
December 2019, within few weeks the coronavirus (Covid-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health
Organization on 30 January 2020. Since then it has spread to most corners of the globe. While the health threat it
poses and the challenge it represents for human health is paramount, no less important is the strain it puts on the legal
order. For most of the affected countries, in particular in the EU, this outbreak is posing unprecedented institutional
challenges and has obliged institutions and governments to adopt strict measures affecting citizens' rights in a way
unparalleled since the Second World War. While some Member States' constitutions include mechanisms allowing for
recourse to a 'state of emergency' or the entrustment of special powers to specific institutions, other Member States'
legal orders do not, either for historic reasons or owing to institutional tradition. Crucial aspects of the exercise of public
powers under a pandemic threat include not only the extent of the measures adopted, but also their legitimacy, raising
the question of their duration and of the degree of parliamentary oversight. This briefing is the first in a series intended
to offer a comparative overview of the institutional responses adopted in different Member States, in the light of i) the
constitutional framework for the state of emergency or legitimation of the emergency legislation ii) the specific
measures adopted, iii) the extent of the parliamentary oversight exercised over the measures adopted. This first
briefing, therefore, offers an overview of the responses to the coronavirus pandemic in Belgium, France, Germany,
Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain.

Riassunto The coronavirus pandemic has been accompanied by a huge array of public measures aiming to protect against and
mitigate the consequences of the virus. While citizens have had to adjust to weeks of lockdown in their homes as a
consequence of the emergency measures adopted by Member States, public institutions have been forced to move
quickly to adapt their ways of working to a new and unprecedented scenario. These changes are particularly
challenging for parliamentary institutions, as their functioning is based on the principles of pluralism, deliberation and
transparency. How can decisions be adopted on the basis of those principles if many members cannot attend
parliamentary sessions owing either to the restrictions on freedom of movement and bans on public gatherings in
virtually all Member States, or to personal health concerns? National parliaments in the EU have adopted a variety of
approaches to address this challenge. Some have gone entirely digital, using remote technology to ensure all
members can take part in parliamentary work, including voting. Others have opted to adopt parliamentary decisions
with a reduced number of members while ensuring the balance of power between their different political groups. Some
others, finally, have decided to adopt social distancing measures, allowing members to continue with their
parliamentary activities from different rooms of the parliament premises or from another location entirely. Given the
particular difficulties in travelling between Member States, the European Parliament opted for the first solution, holding
its first ever digital plenary session, in which Members voted remotely using a new electronic voting procedure, on 26
March 2020.

Riassunto Nel 2018 la Commissione ha adottato una proposta di nuovo regolamento relativo alla guardia di frontiera e costiera
europea (EBCG). Uno dei numerosi obiettivi della proposta riguardava l'integrazione del sistema relativo ai documenti
falsi e autentici online (FADO) nel quadro dell'EBCG. I colegislatori hanno già adottato il nuovo regolamento
sull'EBCG, ma hanno deciso di adottare un atto giuridico distinto per istituire il quadro giuridico del sistema FADO. Il
Parlamento dovrebbe votare sull'accordo negoziato con il Consiglio durante la tornata di febbraio.

Riassunto On 27 November 2019, the European Parliament is expected to vote on the von der Leyen Commission as a whole.
This would be one of the final steps in an investiture process that started in May 2019, following the European
elections. If the Commission obtains Parliament's consent – by a majority of the votes cast by roll call – the European
Council will then appoint its members by qualified majority, finally allowing the new Commission to take up its duties,
expected to be on 1 December 2019.

Riassunto This briefing is one in a set looking at the Commissioners-designate and their portfolios as put forward by Commission
President-elect Ursula von der Leyen. Each candidate faces a three-hour public hearing, organised by one or more
parliamentary committees. After that process, those committees will judge the candidates' suitability for the role based
on 'their general competence, European commitment and personal independence', as well as their 'knowledge of their
prospective portfolio and their communication skills'. At the end of the hearings process, Parliament votes on the
proposed Commission as a bloc, and under the Treaties may only reject the entire College of Commissioners, rather
than individual candidates. The Briefing provides an overview of key issues in the portfolio areas, as well as
Parliament's activity in the last term in that field. It also includes a brief introduction to the candidate.

Riassunto Le audizioni dei Commissari designati dinanzi alle commissioni del Parlamento europeo sono un passaggio necessario
per consentire al Parlamento di decidere se approvare o respingere il Collegio di Commissari proposto. Ciascun
Commissario designato deve essere ascoltato in un'audizione dedicata, cui partecipano una o più commissioni
parlamentari, dopo aver risposto a un questionario scritto e presentato la propria dichiarazione di interessi. Nelle
precedenti audizioni, le principali critiche espresse sono state la mancanza di conoscenze specialistiche da parte dei
candidati riguardo al portafoglio, la vaghezza delle risposte e la riluttanza ad assumere impegni, l'esistenza di possibili
conflitti di interesse in relazione al portafoglio assegnato e le preoccupazioni in merito all'integrità del candidato.
Dall'investitura del 2004 in poi, il Parlamento europeo si è avvalso del proprio ruolo nella nomina della Commissione
per esercitare pressioni finalizzate alla sostituzione di alcuni candidati controversi e all'adeguamento di determinati
portafogli, sebbene il Parlamento abbia soltanto la facoltà di rifiutare o accettare il Collegio nel suo insieme. Mentre
alcuni esperti mettono in guardia rispetto all'eccessiva politicizzazione delle audizioni, altri accolgono con favore
l'accresciuta responsabilità della Commissione nei confronti del Parlamento e vedono il rafforzamento del legame
politico tra le due istituzioni come un ulteriore passo verso una maggiore democratizzazione del processo decisionale
dell'UE. Le audizioni sono diventate fondamentali in vista dell'obbligo della Commissione di rendere conto al
Parlamento e stanno acquisendo importanza come strumento che consente al Parlamento di svolgere un ruolo più
incisivo nella definizione dell'agenda a livello dell'UE. La presente è una versione ulteriormente aggiornata e ampliata
di un briefing del 2014 di Eva-Maria Poptcheva.
