Research for REGI Committee: Cohesion Policy Calendar (2021-2027 and 2014-2020 Programming Periods) Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data18-11-2021 AutoreHAASE Diana Settore di interventoSviluppo regionale | Valutazione del diritto e delle politiche nella pratica Parole chiave coesione economica e sociale | commissione PE | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | politica regionale dell'UE | relazione interistituzionale (UE) Riassunto The implementation timetable for cohesion policy is defined largely by its legislative framework. In order to be able to plan parliamentary work and exercise systematic scrutiny of policy implementation and of the Commission’s work, it is essential to have an overview of the timing of different steps in policy implementation in the coming years. This type of briefing was first published (and subsequently updated) in 2014 covering the 2014-2020 programming period. The current version is the first in the row that includes the policy actions of the 2021-27 period, while still indicating the last steps of the 2014-20 period. It includes a detailed (but non-exhaustive) timetable of policy actions in the second half of 2021 and in 2022, together with an overview of major actions for the remainder of the programming period, from 2023. Briefing EN Horizon Europe: Framework programme for research and innovation 2021–2027 Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 02-07-2021 Autore WILSON Alex Benjamin Settore di intervento Politica di ricerca Parole chiave CEEA | cooperazione scientifica | diffusione delle innovazioni | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | formazione professionale | innovazione | politica di ricerca dell'UE | programma quadro di ricerca e sviluppo | proposta (UE) | ricerca nucleare | ripartizione del finanziamento dell'UE | sicurezza nucleare | studio d'impatto Riassunto In June 2018, the European Commission proposed a total budget allocation of €100 billion to finance science, research and innovation projects during the 2021-2027 period, of which the vast majority, €94.1 billion in current prices, would be allocated to the Horizon Europe framework programme. The main aims are to strengthen science and technology, to foster industrial competiveness, and to implement the sustainable development goals in the EU. Horizon Europe introduces new features such as the European Innovation Council, missions to promote research results, and new forms of partnerships. Horizon Europe also aims at reducing administrative burdens and promoting the concept of open science. More operational synergies are expected through better linkage with other EU programmes. In March 2019, Parliament and Council reached a partial agreement on most aspects of Horizon Europe. However, the financial aspects were only settled in December 2020 as part of the broader MFF negotiations, together with the sensitive issue of third-country association. The final text was adopted in April 2021 and entered into force retroactively from 1 January 2021. Third edition of a briefing originally drafted by Cemal Karakas.

Briefing EN European Defence Fund: Multiannual financial framework 2021-2027 Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data02-07-2021 AutoreKARABOYTCHEVA Miroslava Kostova Settore di interventoIndustria Parole chiave bilancio della difesa | cooperazione militare | cooperazione UE-NATO | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | fondo (UE) | politica di sicurezza e di difesa comune | politica europea di difesa | programma d'azione | programma dell'UE | proposta (UE) | relazione | ricerca e sviluppo | sicurezza europea | Stato membro UE | sviluppo industriale Riassunto In June 2018, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal on a European Defence Fund, including a budget allocation of €11.5 billion in constant 2018 prices for the 2021-2027 period. The proposal aimed to streamline and simplify the set-up in place at the time by integrating the Preparatory Action on Defence Research (research window) and the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (as one part of the capability window) into a single Fund. The main aims of the Fund would be to foster the competitiveness and innovativeness of European defence and to contribute to the EU's strategic autonomy. In this regard, the Fund would inter alia support collaborative industrial projects; co finance the costs of prototype development; encourage the participation of small and medium- sized enterprises; and promote projects in the framework of permanent structured cooperation. Synergies were expected with other EU initiatives in the field of cybersecurity, maritime transport, border management, Horizon Europe, the space programme and the European Peace Facility. In April 2019, after several trilogue meetings, Parliament and Council reached a partial agreement on the Fund, covering the content, but not, among other things, budgetary issues. Parliament adopted its position at first reading in April 2019. A provisional political agreement on the outstanding issues was reached in December 2020. The Council adopted its first-reading position in March 2021 and the Parliament adopted the text at second reading on 29 April. The final act was published in the Official Journal on 12 May.

Own resources of the European Union: Reforming the EU's financing system Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data09-06-2021 AutoreD'ALFONSO Alessandro Settore di interventoAdozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Bilanci Parole chiave bilancio generale (UE) | dazi doganali | decisione (UE) | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | gestione finanziaria | IVA | politica di bilancio | procedura di bilancio | quadro finanziario pluriennale | risorse proprie Riassunto On 1 June 2021, the decision that reforms the financing system of the EU budget entered into force, following its ratification by all Member States. It introduces three significant innovations in the own resources system, applying retroactively from 1 January 2021. The maximum level of resources that can be called from Member States permanently rises from 1.20 % to 1.40 % of EU gross national income (GNI). A temporary increase in the own resources ceiling, worth a further 0.60 % of EU GNI, is devoted exclusively to the financing of Next Generation (NGEU), enabling the Commission to borrow resources on an unprecedented scale on the capital markets, with a view to financing the recovery. A national contribution linked to non-recycled plastic packaging waste is introduced, the first new EU own resource to be created since 1988. In addition, Parliament pushed for a broader reform of the financing system underlining that the introduction of a basket of new own resources should cover at least the repayment costs of NGEU (for both principal and interest). Parliament managed to include a detailed roadmap for the introduction of various additional new own resources by 2026 in the interinstitutional agreement on budgetary matters with the Council and the European Commission. Envisaged resources are linked to EU policies on climate and the single market. Fourth edition.

Briefing EN New European Commission communication on Better Regulation: Joining forces to make better laws Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 28-05-2021 Autore ANGLMAYER Irmgard | VETTORAZZI STEFANO Settore di intervento Diritto UE: sistema e atti giuridici Parole chiave Commissione europea | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | iniziative di regolamentazione | relazione | trasparenza del processo decisionale Riassunto Better Regulation ensures that EU policies and laws are prepared in an open, transparent manner, informed by the best available evidence and backed by comprehensive stakeholder involvement so that they achieve their objectives at minimum cost. It is a dynamic agenda that has gradually evolved in the European Commission since the early 2000s. Today's Better Regulation agenda covers the whole policy cycle. It was shaped under the Juncker Commission presidency, which formally declared it a priority, with the aim of strengthening the effectiveness, transparency and accountability of its actions across all policy areas. The comprehensive Better Regulation package of 2015 presented a strategy, guidelines and a toolbox, and established the Regulatory Scrutiny Board as the Commission's regulatory oversight body. It also paved the way for the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-Making (IIA-BLM) concluded by the Commission, Parliament and Council in April 2016, and which, inter alia, defines their respective roles and responsibilities in the regulatory process. Following a revision in 2017, the Commission took stock of the Better Regulation agenda in 2019, concluding that in a post-fact world, evidence-based policy-making remains an imperative. The long-awaited new Commission communication, adopted on 29 April 2021, draws lessons from the Better Regulation stocktaking review. At the same time, it sets out a policy-making framework that aims at supporting post- crisis recovery and the twin digital and green transformation, in line with the Commission's intention to advance the Better Regulation agenda further, with 'future-proof legislation that can stand the test of time'. Briefing EN The role of the European Council in negotiating the 2021-27 MFF Tipo di pubblicazione Analisi approfondita Data09-04-2021 AutoreDRACHENBERG Ralf Settore di interventoBilanci | Coronavirus | Democrazia UE, diritto istituzionale e parlamentare Parole chiave autorizzazione di bilancio | bilancio dell'UE | competenza istituzionale (UE) | Consiglio europeo | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | politica di bilancio | quadro finanziario pluriennale | spesa dell'UE Riassunto To assess the role of the European Council in the process of the adoption of the multiannual financial framework and its evolution over time, this paper provides a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences between the European Council's involvement in the 20142020 and 20212027 MFF negotiations. An additional content analysis of EU leaders' Twitter communication on the MFF focuses in particular on key moments in the European Council's decision-making process. The 20212027 MFF negotiations provide yet another example of the ways in which EU leaders not only intervene in the parts of the policy cycle envisaged for the European Council in the Treaties, but extend the scope of their involvement and influence, to areas where this is expressly prohibited by the Treaties, such as regarding legislation. The European Council's involvement in legislative matters against the letter of the Treaties can be considered both as 'déjà vu' and as a further evolution of its involvement.

Water reuse: Setting minimum requirements Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 20-04-2020 Autore HALLEUX Vivienne Settore di intervento Adozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Ambiente Parole chiave acque di scarico | consumo idrico | distribuzione idrica | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | fabbisogno idrico | irrigazione | proposta (UE) | protezione dell'ambiente | risorse idriche | sanità pubblica | trattamento dell'acqua | utilizzazione dell'acqua Riassunto Although freshwater is relatively abundant in the European Union (EU), water stress occurs in many areas, particularly in the Mediterranean region and parts of the Atlantic region, with environmental and economic impacts. In May 2018, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a regulation setting EU-wide standards that reclaimed water would need to meet in order to be used for agricultural irrigation, with the aim of encouraging greater use of reclaimed water and contributing to alleviating water scarcity. The Commission estimates that the proposal could increase water reuse in agricultural irrigation from 1.7 billion m³ to 6.6 billion m³ per year, thereby reducing water stress by 5 %. The European Parliament adopted its first-reading position on 12 February 2019, and the Council agreed on a general approach on 26 June 2019. Trilogue negotiations concluded with a provisional agreement on 2 December. The agreed text, endorsed by the ENVI committee on 21 January 2020, was adopted at first reading by the Council on 7 April. It now returns to the Parliament for final adoption at second reading. Second edition of a briefing originally drafted by Didier Bourguignon.

Briefing EN Parliament's right of legislative initiative Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 12-02-2020 Autore KOTANIDIS Silvia Settore di intervento Democrazia UE, diritto istituzionale e parlamentare | Diritto UE: sistema e atti giuridici Parole chiave competenza istituzionale (UE) | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | iniziativa legislativa | potere d'iniziativa | potere legislativo Riassunto The European Commission has a near monopoly on legislative initiative in the European Union (EU), with special initiative rights for other institutions applying only in certain specific cases. However, the European Parliament and the Council may invite the Commission to submit legislative proposals. Whilst this 'indirect' initiative right does not create an obligation on the Commission to propose the legislation requested, the Treaty of Lisbon codified the Commission's obligation to provide reasons for any refusal to follow a parliamentary initiative. Against this backdrop, some argue that Parliament could take the Commission to the Court of Justice of the EU if it fails to justify a negative decision. Others see Parliament's increasing participation in overall political planning – particularly through negotiations on the Commission's annual work programme (CWP) – as a further channel for Parliament to increase its influence on EU legislation. It is thus argued that the increased role of Parliament in the legislative procedure should have reduced the need for its Members to make use of legislative initiatives. Notwithstanding that, there is a trend towards greater use of formal parliamentary legislative initiatives to assert greater influence on the political process. Most recently, in her inaugural address in July 2019 and in her Political Guidelines, the then newly elected President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, pledged to strengthen the partnership with the European Parliament, inter alia, by responding with a proposal for a legislative act whenever Parliament, acting by a majority of its members, adopts a resolution requesting that the Commission submit legislative proposals. She added that this commitment would have to be in full respect of the proportionality, subsidiarity and better law-making principles. President von der Leyen also declared herself supportive of moves towards recognition of a right for Parliament of legislative initiative. This briefing is an update of a European Parliament Library briefing from 2013, by Eva-Maria Poptcheva. Briefing EN Multimedia European Parliament’s legislative initiative European business statistics Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 15-01-2020 Autore DELIVORIAS Angelos Settore di intervento Problemi economici e monetari Parole chiave elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | formalità amministrativa | impresa | metodo statistico | raccolta dei dati | scambio d'informazioni | semplificazione legislativa | statistica economica | statistiche dell'UE Riassunto In the context of the work of reviewing the fitness of current regulations (REFIT), the Commission has decided to amend Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 and repeal 10 legal acts in the field of business statistics. The aim is to reduce the administrative burden for businesses, especially SMEs, and to put an end to legal fragmentation in the field of European business statistics. The Commission is proposing to establish a common legal framework for the development, production and dissemination of European statistics related to business structure, economic activities and performance, as well as on international transactions and research and development activities in the EU economy; and for the European network of national statistical business registers and the EuroGroups Register. The regulation includes provisions covering business registers, the data sources to be used, and the exchange of confidential data for the purpose of intra-Union trade in goods statistics. The final act was signed on 27 November 2019 and published in the Official Journal on 17 December 2019. It will apply from 1 January 2021, with the exception of certain articles, which will apply from 1 January 2022. Second edition.

The powers of the European Parliament Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data04-11-2019 AutoreTILINDYTE-HUMBURG Laura Settore di interventoDemocrazia UE, diritto istituzionale e parlamentare Parole chiave accordo (UE) | bilancio dell'UE | Commissione europea | competenza istituzionale (UE) | controllo parlamentare | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | nomina dei membri | Parlamento europeo | relazione interistituzionale (UE) | storia dell'Europa Riassunto Since its inception in 1951, the European Parliament has come a long way. Initially a consultative body composed of delegations of national parliaments, it became a directly elected institution, obtained budgetary and legislative powers, and now exercises influence over most aspects of EU affairs. Together with representatives of national governments, who sit in the Council, Parliament co-decides on European legislation, in what could be seen as a bicameral legislature at EU level. It can reject or amend the European Commission's proposals before adopting them so that they become law. Together with the Council of the EU, it adopts the EU budget and controls its implementation. Another core set of European Parliament prerogatives concerns the scrutiny of the EU executive – mainly the Commission. Such scrutiny can take many forms, including parliamentary questions, committees of inquiry and special committees, and scrutiny of delegated and implementing acts. Parliament has made use of these instruments to varying degrees. Parliament has the power to dismiss the Commission (motion of censure), and it plays a significant role in the latter's appointment process. Parliament has a say over the very foundations of the EU. Its consent is required before any new country joins the EU, and before a withdrawal treaty is concluded if a country decides to leave it. Most international agreements entered into by the EU with third countries also require Parliament's consent. Parliament can initiate Treaty reform, and also the 'Article 7(1) TEU' procedure, aimed at determining whether there is a (risk of) serious breach of EU values by a Member State. Briefing EN How EU Treaties are changed Tipo di pubblicazione In sintesi Data 20-09-2019 Autore TILINDYTE-HUMBURG Laura Settore di intervento Diritto UE: sistema e atti giuridici Parole chiave elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | revisione del trattato (UE) Riassunto The EU's founding Treaties have been revised by the Member States in numerous rounds of reforms. Such Treaty revision is a way to ensure that EU primary law evolves, adapts, and responds to new developments and changing needs. The last comprehensive Treaty reform dates back to the Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on 1 December 2009. While another comprehensive Treaty change is not yet on the agenda, the recent debates on the 'Future of Europe' triggered a number of reform proposals, some of which would necessitate revision of the EU Treaties. Such revision is governed by Article 48 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), which provides for two main procedures: the ordinary and the simplified revision procedures. The former applies to the TEU, to the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) and to the Euratom Treaty; the latter only to part of the TFEU. In sintesi EN CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data30-08-2019 AutoreERBACH Gregor Settore di interventoAdozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Ambiente | Trasporti Parole chiave accesso all'informazione dell'UE | accordo internazionale | automobile | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | inquinamento automobilistico | lotta contro l'inquinamento | meccanica generale | proposta (UE) | quota di emissione dell'UE | veicolo a motore | veicolo industriale Riassunto In May 2018, the Commission proposed a regulation setting the first-ever CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles in the EU, as part of the third mobility package. It would require the average CO2 emissions from new trucks in 2025 to be 15 % lower than in 2019. For 2030, the proposal sets an indicative reduction target of at least 30 % compared to 2019. Special incentives are provided for zero- and low-emission vehicles. The proposed regulation applies to four categories of large trucks, which together account for 65 %-70 % of CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. The Commission proposes to review the legislation in 2022 in order to set a binding target for 2030, and to extend its application to smaller trucks, buses, coaches and trailers. In the European Parliament, the proposal was referred to the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, which adopted its report on 18 October 2018. Parliament voted on the report on 14 November. Trilogue negotiations were concluded on 18 February 2019 with an agreement that sets a legally binding 30 % reduction target for the average fleet emissions of new trucks by 2030. The Parliament adopted it during the April II 2019 plenary session, and the Council on 13 June. The Regulation was published in the Official Journal on 25 July and entered into force on 14 August 2019. Briefing EN 13-12-2021 Fonte : © Unione europea, 2021 - PE 4
Ensuring more transparent and predictable working conditions Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 26-08-2019 Autore KISS Monika Settore di intervento Adozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Occupazione Parole chiave condizioni di lavoro | consultazione pubblica | contratto collettivo | contratto di lavoro | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | informazione dei lavoratori | licenziamento | periodo di tirocinio | politica dell'occupazione dell'UE | proposta (UE) | studio d'impatto Riassunto An employer's obligation to inform employees of the conditions applicable to their contracts is regulated by Directive 91/533/EEC. Major shifts in the labour market due to demographic trends and digitalisation, spawning a growing number of non-standard employment relationships, have made it necessary to revise this directive. The European Commission therefore came forward with a proposal for a directive aimed at updating and extending the information on employment-related obligations and working conditions, and at creating new minimum standards for all employed workers, including those on atypical contracts. In the European Parliament, the Committee for Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL) considered the proposal and adopted a report focusing in particular on the scope, on employees' working hours, on the conditions for making information available to them, and on employers' responsibilities. Following trilogue negotiations, the European Parliament and the Council reached an agreement on the content of the draft legislation. The final act was signed on 20 June 2019 and published in the Official Journal on 11 July 2019. Member States have until 1 August 2022 to take the necessary measures to comply with the new directive.

Briefing EN Impact Assessment and European Added Value work during the eighth legislative term, 2014-2019 Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 03-07-2019 Autore HILLER WOLFGANG Settore di intervento Democrazia UE, diritto istituzionale e parlamentare | Diritto UE: sistema e atti giuridici | Recepimento e attuazione del diritto | Valore aggiunto europeo | Valutazione d''impatto ex ante | Valutazione del diritto e delle politiche nella pratica Parole chiave elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | elaborazione delle politiche | legislazione | studio d'impatto Riassunto The responsibility for better law-making is shared between the European Union institutions. In recent years Parliament has developed its own instruments to guarantee proper and independent assessment and to support parliamentary committees in their work. The concept of impact assessment is applied throughout the whole policy cycle – on both an ex-ante and an ex-post basis – from the design of legislation through to its implementation, evaluation and revision. The European Parliament also advocates a proper assessment of European added value, in terms of what savings will result from a European solution and if supplementary costs would arise in the absence of a European solution. This briefing provides a look back over five years’ experience in support of better regulation for the benefit of citizens. Briefing EN Continuation of work in progress from last term Tipo di pubblicazione In sintesi Data 28-06-2019 Autore GROSEK Kristina Settore di intervento Democrazia UE, diritto istituzionale e parlamentare Parole chiave elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | elezioni europee | mandato elettivo Riassunto With European elections held on 23-26 May 2019, the eighth parliamentary term formally ends on 1 July 2019, a day before the constituent part-session of the newly elected Parliament. Despite the efforts of the co-legislators, agreement could not be found on a number of legislative proposals before the end of the parliamentary term, and these form a major part of the business that needs to be picked up again in the new term. In order to ensure continuity in its work, therefore, Parliament has adopted rules on how to deal with unfinished files. In sintesi EN Amending the bank resolution framework – BRRD and SRMR Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 28-06-2019 Autore STAMEGNA CARLA Settore di intervento Adozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Problemi economici e monetari | Questioni finanziarie e bancarie Parole chiave elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | gestione del rischio | impresa in difficoltà | istituto finanziario | norma tecnica | regolamentazione finanziaria | rischio finanziario | solvibilità finanziaria | Unione bancaria dell'UE Riassunto In May 2019, the European Parliament and the Council adopted the proposals amending the EU legislative framework on bank resolution, consisting of the Banking Recovery and Resolution Directive, and the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation. Resolution is the restructuring of a bank which is failing or likely to fail, aiming at safeguarding continuity of the bank's critical functions, preserving financial stability and minimising rescue costs to taxpayers. The adopted amendments incorporate into EU law the Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity standard, set at international level to improve large financial institutions' capacity to absorb losses and recapitalise in case they are placed in resolution. The new legislative texts were published in the Official Journal on 7 June 2019, and come fully into force on 28 December 2020. Briefing EN 13-12-2021 Fonte : © Unione europea, 2021 - PE 5
EU fertilising products Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 26-06-2019 Autore HALLEUX Vivienne Settore di intervento Adozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Agricoltura e sviluppo rurale | Mercato interno e Unione doganale | Protezione dei consumatori | Sanità pubblica Parole chiave ammendamento del terreno | autorizzazione di vendita | cadmio | concime | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | industria dei fertilizzanti | marcatura CE di conformità | norma ambientale | riciclaggio dei rifiuti Riassunto Fertilising products are used to improve plant growth, mainly in agriculture, enabling higher crop yields. However, they are associated with some challenges as regards security of supply, the environment and health. Although the 2003 Fertilisers Regulation, which aimed at ensuring an internal market in fertilisers, has been effective, it mainly addresses mineral fertilisers and deters the introduction of new types of fertilisers. In March 2016, the Commission put forward a legislative proposal on fertilising products, as announced in the circular economy action plan. The proposal modernises the conformity assessment and market surveillance in line with the ‘new legislative framework’ for product legislation, covers a wider range of fertilising products (including those manufactured from secondary raw materials), and sets limits for the presence of heavy metals and contaminants in fertilising products. After completion of the legislative procedure, the final act was signed on 5 June 2019. The regulation will apply in full from 16 July 2022.

Briefing EN Single-use plastics and fishing gear: Reducing marine litter Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 17-06-2019 Autore HALLEUX Vivienne Settore di intervento Adozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Ambiente Parole chiave bene non durevole | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | gestione dei rifiuti | impatto ambientale | industria della pesca | inquinamento marino | lotta contro l'inquinamento | materia plastica | politica ambientale dell'UE | proposta (UE) | protezione dell'ambiente | rifiuti | studio d'impatto Riassunto Most of the plastic in our oceans originates from land-based sources. On European beaches, plastics make up 80-85 % of marine litter, which is considered a major threat to marine and coastal biodiversity. Marine litter also costs the European Union economy an estimated €259 million to €695 million per year. In May 2018, the European Commission put forward a legislative proposal seeking to address the issue of marine litter from plastics. The proposal would introduce a series of measures regarding the top 10 single-use plastics found on European beaches, as well as fishing gear, with a view to reducing their impact on the environment and ensuring a functional internal market. After completion of the legislative procedure, the final act was signed by the presidents of the co-legislators (European Parliament and Council) on 5 June 2019, and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 12 June 2019. Member States have two years (i.e. until 3 July 2021) to transpose the new directive into national law.

As part of a broader process to maximise their use, the Commission presented legislative proposals for two regulations in December 2017 (amended in June 2018), establishing an interoperability framework between EU information systems on borders and visas, and on police and judicial cooperation, asylum and migration. After completion of the legislative procedure at first reading in the Parliament and in the Council, the final acts were signed by the co-legislators on 20 May 2019 and published in the Official Journal two days later. Both acts came into force on 11 June 2019. The new rules aim to improve checks at the EU’s external borders, allow for better detection of security threats and identity fraud, and help in preventing and combating irregular migration.

The power of the European Parliament: Examples of EP impact during the 2014-19 legislative term Tipo di pubblicazione Analisi approfondita Data30-04-2019 Autore esterno DG, EPRS; Settore di interventoDemocrazia UE, diritto istituzionale e parlamentare Parole chiave analisi delle informazioni | competenza del PE | controllo parlamentare | diffusione di informazioni sull'UE | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | mandato elettivo | Parlamento europeo | recesso dall'UE | relazioni dell'Unione europea | revisione del trattato (UE) | scarico del bilancio | strategia UE Riassunto As the only European Union institution elected directly, the European Parliament is at the heart of representative democracy, the foundation upon which the EU is built. Since its creation, the Parliament’s powers have evolved significantly, transforming it into a full-fledged legislative body and forum of discussion and engagement, whose influence is felt in virtually all areas of EU activity. This paper provides an overview of the European Parliament's main powers, demonstrating how they interact, and illustrating through practical examples from the most recent parliamentary term (2014-2019) the various ways in which the Parliament uses those powers in its daily work. Analisi approfondita DE, EN, FR Cross-border euro transfers and currency conversions: A step forward in favour of the single market Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data29-04-2019 AutoreSPINACI STEFANO Settore di interventoAdozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Problemi economici e monetari Parole chiave automazione del sistema bancario | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | istituto finanziario | mercato unico | pagamento | pagamento intra UE | proposta (UE) | regolamentazione finanziaria | relazione | servizi finanziari | spese bancarie | zona euro Riassunto Cross-border payments are crucial for the integration of the EU economy, and play an important role in ensuring that citizens and enterprises from all EU Member States enjoy the same rights offered by the single market. Since the introduction of the euro, the EU has launched various initiatives to reduce the cost of cross-border transactions, among them a set of single euro payments area (SEPA) standards, regulations on cross-border payments, and the Payment Services Directives. Nevertheless, cross-border euro payments made in non-euro-area Member States are still subject to high fees. Furthermore, when paying with a card or making an ATM withdrawal in a country using a currency other than the euro, it is almost impossible to know exactly how much it is going to cost. On 28 March 2018, the European Commission presented a proposal for a regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 924/2009 on cross-border payments. Working through the legislative process, Parliament and Council reached agreement on an amended text, published in the Official Journal on 19 March 2019.

The initiative is proceeding in steps. The first proposal, submitted in May 2016, covered 13 priority chemical agents. The current (second) proposal addresses a further seven agents. Broad discussions with scientists and the social partners fed into both proposals. On the whole, trade unions and employers welcomed the current proposal. Trilogue agreement was reached on 11 October 2018. As proposed by the European Parliament, diesel engine exhaust emissions were included in the scope of the directive. After completion of the legislative procedure, the final act was signed by the presidents of the co-legislators on 16 January 2019. Directive (EU) 2019/130 entered into force on 20 February 2019 and is to be transposed into national laws within two years, by 20 February 2021 at the latest. Third edition.

Reform of the Qualification Directive Tipo di pubblicazione Briefing Data 20-02-2019 Autore RADJENOVIC Anja Settore di intervento Adozione della legislazione da parte del PE e del Consiglio | Spazio di libertà, sicurezza e giustizia Parole chiave diritto d'asilo | diritto di soggiorno | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | politica migratoria dell'UE Riassunto The current refugee and migrant crisis in Europe has called into question existing EU legislation on asylum, in particular the criteria according to which applicants for international protection can qualify for refugee or subsidiary protection status, as recognised in the Qualification Directive. Although national asylum rules are more closely aligned than they were, major differences in approach persist across the EU. This can lead asylum-seekers to claim refuge in Member States whose asylum systems appear to be more generous, rather than in the Member State officially responsible for their asylum applications. The Commission's proposal of 13 July 2016 proposes to replace the Qualification Directive with a regulation, setting uniform standards for the recognition of people in need of protection and for the rights granted to beneficiaries of international protection. Although Parliament and Council negotiators reached provisional agreement on the text in June 2018, this has not been confirmed by the Council, with further steps as yet to be determined.

The overarching goal of the proposal was to bring about a balance between competitiveness and consumer protection. It therefore aimed to introduce flexibility when restrictions only applicable to TV are no longer justified, promote European films, protect minors and tackle hate speech more efficiently. The proposal also reflected a new approach to online platforms. Following adoption of the revised directive, EU Member States now have to bring the new rules into national law by 19 September 2020.

The fund was subsequently modified in 2009 to cover major structural changes triggered by the economic and financial crisis. The rules of the EGF are laid down in EU Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013, which stipulates that the fund will continue to be financed until 31 December 2020. In May 2018, the European Commission submitted a proposal to reform the EGF and maintain it as a special instrument outside the MFF ceiling. The proposal introduces modifications to the eligibility criteria, the co-financing rules and the mobilisation procedure. The report was voted in the EMPL committee on 27 November 2018, and the report is due to be debated in plenary in January 2019, with a view to finalising Parliament's position for trilogue negotiations.

Financing bank resolution: An alternative solution for arranging the liquidity required Tipo di pubblicazione Analisi approfondita Data21-11-2018 Autore esterno W.P. De Groen, CEPS Settore di interventoProblemi economici e monetari | Questioni finanziarie e bancarie Parole chiave banca centrale | controllo della liquidità | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | gestione del rischio | impresa in difficoltà | istituto finanziario | norma tecnica | regolamentazione finanziaria | rischio finanziario | solvibilità finanziaria | Unione bancaria dell'UE | zona euro Riassunto Liquidity in resolution is one of the unresolved elements of the Single Resolution Mechanism. Currently, with the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) and the Eurosystem, there are two potential sources of liquidity in resolution, which both have clear limitations in use and amounts. Straightforward solutions to give the SRF and/or Eurosystem more firepower in resolution go against the main objectives of the resolution mechanism (i.e. breaking the sovereign-bank nexus and avoiding use of taxpayers’ money). This paper proposes an ECB liquidity facility with an SRF-guarantee as an alternative solution for banks in resolution. The funds available should be broadly sufficient to address potential liquidity needs for resolution tools. The proposed solution primarily requires agreement on the ESM-backstop for the SRF, a firmer commitment for (possible) future contributions for the SRF as well as a change to the current emergency liquidity assistance or introduction of a new dedicated Transitional Liquidity Assistance by the Eurosystem.

The first is whether the provision of Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) on an individual bank basis should be centralised within the European Central Bank (ECB) and the second is whether existing liquidity financing arrangements are fit for the role. The paper argues that ELA centralisation would not require Treaty amendment and that a liquidity backstop is needed. However the latter cannot be provided by the ECB due to the prohibition of monetary financing and other Treaty and EU law requirements. The choice of the EU entity which should be entrusted with the specific mandate will largely depend on the characteristics the facility would take. The paper considers such characteristics and analyses which authority may best fit that role. The paper also suggests that a well-structured facility could have a positive broader macroprudential impact, and that a fine balance needs to be struck between the risk of moral hazard and the beneficial effect this facility may have on market confidence. Analisi approfondita EN How to provide liquidity to banks after resolution in Europe’s banking union Tipo di pubblicazione Analisi approfondita Data14-11-2018 Autore esterno Maria Demertzis, Inês Gonçalves Raposo, Pia Hüttl, Guntram Wolff (Bruegel) Settore di interventoProblemi economici e monetari | Questioni finanziarie e bancarie Parole chiave controllo della liquidità | elaborazione del diritto dell'UE | gestione del rischio | impresa in difficoltà | istituto finanziario | norma tecnica | regolamentazione finanziaria | rischio finanziario | solvibilità finanziaria | Unione bancaria dell'UE Riassunto Banks deemed to be failing or likely to fail in the banking union are either put into insolvency/liquidation or enter a resolution scheme to protect the public interest. After resolution but before full market confidence is restored, the liquidity needs of resolved banks might exceed what can be met through regular monetary policy operations or emergency liquidity assistance. All liquidity needs that emerge must be met for resolution to be a success. In the euro area, this can only be done credibly for systemically important banks by the central bank. We discuss how to establish guarantees against possible losses in order to allow liquidity provisioning in times of resolution.

It would nevertheless have gained by including a more detailed explanation behind the merger of the two financing windows, as well as a more detailed analysis of impacts. Finally, the lack of more specific objectives appears to have weakened the analysis of monitoring mechanisms and it is unclear how stakeholders' views have fed into the analysis.

In the first part we argue that risks to bank lending mainly stem from the transmission of external monetary policy effects that may not be aligned with ECB policies. The second part of the paper therefore offers some ideas on the need to moderate spillover effects from outside monetary policies or events. We also review how far new prudential policies, regulatory measures and/or policies can be used to mitigate those unfavourable risks.

We clarify the notion of excess liquidity and highlight that its current level is primarily the result of European Central Bank asset purchases. Overall, we conclude that financial stability risks in the euro area are low, but increased home bias and housing prices necessitate full attention from macroprudential authorities. Monetary policy tools are anyway ill-suited to fostering financial stability objectives.

The proposal seeks to provide an enabling framework for a market-led development of SBBS, thus encouraging banks and investors to diversify their holdings of euro area bonds. The proposal is meant to address a weakness that appeared during the aforementioned crises, when banks' high exposure to their sovereigns' own debt, coupled with deteriorating creditworthiness of those sovereigns, led to balance sheet strains for banks. This in turn put pressure on government budgets, thus creating mutual contagion and financial instability. The procedure is currently at the initial stage in the European Parliament and the Council.

While the number of posted workers continues to increase significantly, problems such as unfair practices and unequal remuneration persist. In addition, the correct balance between the freedom to provide cross-border services and the social rights of workers is needed, and moreover, needs to be adapted to today's labour market situation. The targeted revision of the Posting of Workers Directive (96/71/EC) proposed by the Commission intended to bring changes in three main areas: the remuneration of posted workers (making it equal to that of local workers, even when subcontracting), more coherent rules on temporary agency workers, as well as long-term posting. The agreement reached in trilogue negotiations states that long-term posting (with labour law provisions of the host country to be applied) starts after 12 months (with a possible extension of six months). The overall amount of remuneration received by a posted worker must meet the level of remuneration in the host Member State (without the reimbursement of the worker's expenses) which must be published on a single national website. Host Member States can accord to posted workers the coverage of representative collective agreements in all sectors, and they must protect them against fraudulent posting. The Parliament approved the text on 29 May 2018, the act was adopted by the Council on 21 June 2018 and the final act was signed on 28 June 2018. Member States have until 30 July 2020 to transpose the measures of the directive and apply them in their national law. Sixth edition.
