Rapid steps towards a digital green certificate Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 22-04-2021 Autor Niestadt Maria Ámbito político Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia | Salud pública | Transporte | Turismo Palabra clave certificado sanitario | ciudadano de la UE | control fronterizo | control sanitario | enfermedad por coronavirus | epidemia | frontera interior de la UE | libre circulación de personas | propuesta (UE) | vacunación Resumen In March 2021, the European Commission put forward a legislative proposal on a 'digital green certificate' that aims to facilitate free movement within the EU. The certificate would be available for Union citizens and their family members to indicate that they have either received a Covid-19 vaccine, had a recent negative test result, or have recovered from Covid-19. The proposal is complemented by another legislative proposal, which ensures that same rules apply to third- country nationals in the EU. With a view to the introduction of the certificate by summer 2021, the European Parliament decided to discuss the proposal under the urgent procedure. The Council has already agreed a mandate for negotiations. Parliament is expected to adopt its position during its April 2021 session so that interinstitutional negotiations can start as soon as possible thereafter in order to have the framework in place by summer 2021. De un vistazo EN Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 21-04-2021 Autor SHREEVES Rosamund Ámbito político Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia Palabra clave ciudadano de la UE | democracia participativa | derecho del individuo | derechos humanos | fondo (UE) | igualdad de trato | marco financiero plurianual | programa de la UE | propuesta (UE) | sociedad civil (movimientos de opinión) Resumen Given the extent of inequality and discrimination, challenges to fundamental rights and citizens' lack of awareness of the rights they enjoy, the EU institutions have recognised the importance of funding to protect core EU values and fundamental rights, support civil society organisations and sustain open, democratic and inclusive societies. In May 2018, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a regulation establishing a new Rights and Values programme as part of the new 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). An early second-reading agreement was reached with the Council in trilogue negotiations, which is now expected to be voted by Parliament during the April 2021 session. De un vistazo EN Digital green certificate Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 26-03-2021 Autor Niestadt Maria Ámbito político Coronavirus | Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia | Salud pública | Transporte Palabra clave certificado sanitario | ciudadano de la UE | control fronterizo | control sanitario | enfermedad por coronavirus | epidemia | frontera interior de la UE | libre circulación de personas | propuesta (UE) | vacunación Resumen On 17 March 2021, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a regulation on a 'digital green certificate' allowing for safe and free movement of EU citizens during the pandemic, and an accompanying proposal covering third-country nationals legally staying or residing in the EU. The certificate would provide proof that the person has been vaccinated, give results of Covid-19 tests and/or information on the acquisition of antibodies. The aim is to help restore free movement of people in the EU. On 25 March 2021, the European Parliament decided to accelerate work on the Commission proposals, using the urgent procedure. De un vistazo EN Schengen Borders Code Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 26-03-2021 Autor AHAMAD MADATALI HANNAH NAFIZE Ámbito político Evaluación de la legislación y las políticas en la práctica Palabra clave Acuerdo de Schengen | ciudadano de la UE | control fronterizo | cooperación transfronteriza | enfermedad por coronavirus | epidemia | extranjero | frontera exterior de la UE | frontera interior de la UE | reglamento (UE) Resumen Presently, the Schengen Area is confronted with a different reality than in 2016, when the European Parliament and Council approved Regulation (EU) 2016/399 (as codification of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 and its subsequent amendments), establishing a Union Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code). As stated in the Commission Work Programme of 2021, the current health crisis and pandemic, and recent developments - related to security concerns and the arrival of refugees -, have exposed the EU’s need to strengthen its crisis preparedness and management of cross-border pressures, as well as keeping the Schengen legislation updated, making it suitable to endure the test of time.

The role of Points of Single Contact (PSCs) and other information services in the Single Market (At A Glance - Study In Focus) Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 09-11-2020 Autor externo Pau SALSAS-FORN et al. Ámbito político Mercado interior y unión aduanera | Protección de los consumidores Palabra clave acceso a la información de la UE | acción de la UE | campaña de sensibilización | ciudadano de la UE | cooperación administrativa | difusión de la información de la UE | formalidad administrativa | informe de investigación | libre prestación de servicios | mercado único | procedimiento administrativo | reglamento (UE) Resumen This At A Glance summarises the key findings of the original study, which analysed the role and development of Points of Single Contact and other information services. The study reviewed recent policy documents, and identified a range of weaknesses for the provision of contact points. The main recommendations were to improve monitoring (using the indicators and the Single Market Scoreboard) and make use of infringement proceedings in case of non-compliance. The actions could be built on the instruments available under the recent Single Digital Gateway Regulation. This document was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO). De un vistazo EN EU and UK citizens' rights after Brexit: An overview Tipo de publicación Análisis en profundidad Fecha 18-06-2020 Autor CIRLIG Carmen-Cristina Ámbito político Asuntos exteriores | Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario Palabra clave acuerdo (UE) | ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | derecho del individuo | elecciones europeas | extranjero | libre circulación de personas | periodo transitorio (UE) | Reino Unido | retirada de la UE Resumen This EPRS paper analyses the implications of Brexit for the rights of both European Union and United Kingdom citizens and provides an overview of the rights protected by the Withdrawal Agreement, which entered into force on 1 February 2020, as well as of the national measures envisaged by the UK and the EU Member States to give effect to the relevant provisions thereof. As a result of the UK leaving the EU and becoming a third country, UK citizens are no longer EU citizens and they will therefore lose a series of rights based on EU citizenship once the transition period provided for in the agreement expires. Currently, UK and EU citizens may still move to the EU and the UK respectively, under the applicable EU rules. Beyond the end of the transition period, the agreement guarantees the rights of EU and UK citizens who had made use of their freedom of movement rights by the end of 2020. Análisis en profundidad DE, EN, FR Repatriation of EU citizens during the COVID-19 crisis: The role of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 01-04-2020 Autor PRPIC Martina Ámbito político Coronavirus | Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia Palabra clave ciudadano de la UE | enfermedad por coronavirus | epidemia | Estado miembro UE | migración de retorno | protección civil Resumen According to official estimates, the COVID-19 crisis has left more than 200 000 EU citizens stranded outside the borders of the EU. EU Member States have been making great efforts to retrieve them, often with the help of the EU. The priority has been to return EU citizens by using commercial flights, but as the conditions continue to worsen, other resources have had to be utilised. EU Member States can activate the EU Civil Protection Mechanism to facilitate the repatriation of their and other EU citizens, if the Emergency Crisis Response Centre assesses that there is no better way. So far, at least 15 countries are reported to have requested the help of the Civil Protection Mechanism, using it to organise flights co-funded with EU funds, and so far repatriating 4 382 EU citizens (and 550 others), first from China, and then from a wide range of countries, including Cape Verde, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Georgia, Japan, Morocco, the Philippines, Tunisia, the USA and Vietnam. More flights are scheduled to bring people back from other locations. The EU Civil Protection Mechanism has been used more than 300 times to respond to disasters since its establishment in 2001. All the EU Member States, together with Iceland, Montenegro, Norway, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey, participate in the Mechanism, but it can also be activated by any country in the world and by certain international organisations. Once the Mechanism is activated, a number of steps follow. The Emergency Crisis Response Centre, as part of the Mechanism, decides on the best response and coordinates it. The EU funds up to 75 % of the costs of the deployment of resources. The 2019 upgrade of the Mechanism boosted the joint capacity for responding to disasters, including medical emergencies. It created rescEU, a reserve of capacities, which has now been augmented to include a stockpile of medical equipment for the COVID-19 response, 90 % of which is funded by the EU. On 27 March 2020, the Commission proposed to further boost the budget for repatriation and for the rescEU stockpile. Briefing EN 30-12-2021 Fuente : © Unión Europea, 2021 - PE 2
EU policies – Delivering for citizens: Youth empowerment Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 28-06-2019 Autor CHIRCOP Denise Ámbito político Cultura Palabra clave ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | difusión de la información de la UE | estrategia de la UE | identidad europea | joven | paro juvenil | política de la juventud | resumen | sondeo de opinión | trabajo de jóvenes Resumen The proportion of young people (15-29 years old) in the general EU population is declining. On the whole, young people have a higher level of education than older adults, and youth unemployment rates have begun to decrease. Nevertheless, young people are still more exposed to poverty and social exclusion than other sections of the population. They are less prone to put their health at risk than previous generations. For instance, fewer young people smoke, get drunk, or become involved in a road accident than previously, but young people are still over-represented among those who are injured in road accidents. Obesity due to bad eating habits and lack of physical exercise is still an issue. Young people are also less likely to vote, or stand for election than older adults, but in recent years there has been a slight increase in interest in politics, political action and volunteering. Almost 80 % of young Europeans identify themselves as European citizens. In a Eurobarometer survey published in 2018 they placed education, skills and the environment at the top of a list of priorities for the EU. The European Union is engaged in helping Member States address young people's needs and aspirations through a youth strategy which covers areas such as employment, entrepreneurship, social inclusion, participation, education, training, health, wellbeing, voluntary activities, the global dimension, creativity and culture. The strategy is backed by a number of funding programmes that are specifically focused on young people, most notably the Youth Employment Initiative, Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps. It also draws from funds directed at other specific policy areas. EU action in the area of youth empowerment is best known for the mobility opportunities it has created, in particular through Erasmus. Future challenges include reaching a wider spectrum of young people, especially those from disadvantaged and hard-to-reach groups, making the results of the consultative process, known as youth dialogue, more tangible, and improving synergies between policy areas for greater effectiveness. This is an update of an earlier briefing issued in advance of the 2019 European elections. Briefing DE, EN, FR Multimedia Youth empowerment Is transparency the key to citizens’ trust? Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 11-04-2019 Autor BAUER Elisabeth | THIEL Marie Ámbito político Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario Palabra clave campaña electoral | ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | cooperación interinstitucional (UE) | democracia participativa | democracia representativa | elecciones europeas | Estado de Derecho | grupo de interés | sondeo de opinión | transparencia del proceso decisorio Resumen Trust in political institutions is a key element of representative democracies. Trust in the rule of law is also the basis for democratic participation of citizens. According to the spring 2018 Eurobarometer survey of public awareness of the EU institutions, 50 % of respondents indicated they trust the European Parliament, which represents a 34 % increase since the beginning of the 2014-2019 legislative term. A transparent political decision-making processes has become a common objective to help strengthen citizens’ trust in policy-makers and enhance the accountability of public administrations. In this regard, regulation of lobbying (the exchange between policy makers and stakeholders), and bolstering the integrity of this process, is often considered a vital ingredient. Public expectations for increased transparency of the exchange between policy-makers and interest representatives varies from one political system to the next, but it has increasingly become a topic of debate for parliaments across Europe, and a regular demand during election campaigns.

La propuesta pretende poner coto al uso de documentos fraudulentos, que terroristas y delincuentes pueden utilizar para entrar en la Unión desde un tercer país.

Technology and social polarisation Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 07-03-2019 Autor BOUCHER Philip Nicholas Ámbito político Democracia | Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario | Planificación prospectiva | Politica social | Política de investigación | Protección de los consumidores Palabra clave ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | comunicación de masas | democracia | desinformación | impacto de la tecnología de la información | medios sociales | pluralismo de los medios de comunicación | populismo | profesión de la comunicación | propaganda electoral | propaganda política Resumen With the Cambridge Analytica scandal, it became clear how technologies such as social media and techniques such as psychological profiling can be combined in election campaigns with worrying effects. Personalised political messaging is highly automated. It starts and ends with social media, which provides both the data for categorising users and the medium for targeting them with personalised messages. Messages might be designed to favour a particular candidate or to encourage widespread discord and mistrust. In either case, it could lead to more polarised societies in which citizens share less common ground and are less understanding of those with different political ideologies, attitudes to populism, or perspectives on specific topics such as immigration. These same technologies and techniques also shape trends in news production and consumption. As newspaper sales dwindle, outlets increasingly rely upon ad-revenue generated by clicks, making extensive use of social media platforms and user profiling. Public debate increasingly occurs via these social media platforms in which citizens, politicians, companies and bots communicate directly to each other without the traditional filters of journalistic standards and editorial oversight. It has been suggested that, where citizens increasingly rely on such platforms for news, they risk entering so-called ‘filter bubbles’ in which they are exposed to a narrow range of perspectives oriented around their own profiles, shielded from contrasting views, in a broad trend that could also lead to more polarised societies. In this context, STOA launched two studies to explore the mechanisms by which these technologies and techniques may foster polarisation in Europe. One study approached the question with reference to trends in the production and consumption of news media, while the other focussed on trends in political campaigning and communication strategies. Briefing EN Revisión de la Iniciativa Ciudadana Europea Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 06-03-2019 Autor TILINDYTE-HUMBURG Laura Ámbito político Adopción de legislación por el PE y el Consejo | Derecho de la UE: sistema jurídico y actos legislativos Palabra clave ciudadano de la UE | cooperación interinstitucional (UE) | democracia participativa | Iniciativa Ciudadana Europea | petición | poder de iniciativa | propuesta (UE) Resumen La Iniciativa Ciudadana Europea (ICE) existe desde hace casi siete años y ahora las normas que rigen su funcionamiento son objeto de revisión. Tras las negociaciones interinstitucionales, el Parlamento y el Consejo alcanzaron un acuerdo provisional sobre la propuesta de la Comisión de revisión de la ICE. Ese acuerdo requiere ahora la aprobación formal de los colegisladores, y se prevé que el Parlamento Europeo someta a votación la propuesta en su período parcial de sesiones de marzo I. De un vistazo ES, DE, EN, FR, IT, PL Citizenship by investment (CBI) and residency by investment (RBI) schemes in the EU Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 17-10-2018 Autor SCHERRER Amandine Marie Anne | THIRION Elodie Ámbito político Asuntos económicos y monetarios | Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia Palabra clave ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | competencias de los Estados miembros | derecho de residencia | Estado miembro UE | extranjero | familia | inversión directa | inversión extranjera | libertad de circulación | política de visados de la UE | seguridad europea Resumen This study analyses the state of play and issues surrounding citizenship and residency by investment schemes (so- called ‘golden passports’ and ‘golden visas’) in the EU. It looks at the economic social and political impacts of such schemes and examines the risks they carry in respect of corruption, money laundering and tax evasion.

Security of ID cards and of residence documents issued to EU citizens and their families Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 13-07-2018 Autor EISELE Katharina Ámbito político Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia | Mercado interior y unión aduanera | Seguridad y defensa | Transporte | Turismo Palabra clave Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea | ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | datos personales | derecho de residencia | documento de identidad | estudio de impacto | extranjero | frontera exterior de la UE | libertad de circulación | libre circulación de personas | propuesta (UE) Resumen Currently, there are at least 86 different versions of ID cards, and 181 types of residence documents in circulation in the EU. The format and minimum standards for ID cards and residence documents is not regulated on EU level. In order to strengthen the security features of ID cards and residence documents of EU citizens and their non-EU family members, the European Commission published a legislative proposal. The impact assessment accompanying this proposal clearly explains the problems currently encountered, and proposes adequate solutions. The Commission used different sources to substantiate the impact assessment and also undertook several stakeholder consultation activities. However, it is not systematically indicated which stakeholder group prefers which specific option. At times the impact assessment displays a lack of quantification, about which the Commission is open. More detailed information on the safeguards regarding the fundamental rights impact would have been desirable. Briefing EN Brexit Literature Update 02/2018 Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 21-02-2018 Autor HULME BENJAMIN | PAPAGEORGIOU IOANNIS Ámbito político Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario | Derecho de la UE: sistema jurídico y actos legislativos Palabra clave ciudadano de la UE | derecho del individuo | extranjero | Irlanda | mercado financiero | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | país tercero | política de medio ambiente | Reino Unido | relación bilateral | retirada de la UE Resumen Following a relevant request by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs has been compiling, on a regular basis, academic and scholarly material related to the process of, and the negotiations on, the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. Since the June 2016 referendum in the UK, Brexit- related literature has grown significantly and it is probably going to expand further in the future. Thus, this compilation is far from exhaustive; rather, it identifies some of the more useful articles, taking into account, in particular, the following elements: •Scholarly rather than a journalistic character of the publication •Originality and interest •Recent publication •Be of interest for the EU •Constitutional or institutional relevance.

The Brexit process: Moving to the second phase of negotiations Tipo de publicaciónBriefing Fecha 20-12-2017 AutorCIRLIG Carmen-Cristina | POPTCHEVA Eva-Maria Alexandrova Ámbito políticoDemocracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario Palabra claveciudadano de la UE | Estado miembro UE | extranjero | frontera exterior de la UE | Irlanda | Irlanda del Norte | migración familiar | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | país tercero | pérdida financiera | Reino Unido | retirada de la UE | seguridad social Resumen The first phase of Brexit talks between the EU and UK negotiating teams needed six rounds of discussion over seven months. Finally, on Friday 8 December, an agreement in principle on the three priority issues – citizens’ rights, a financial settlement and Northern Ireland – was reached. The European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, and the UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, endorsed a joint report setting out a common understanding on the future withdrawal agreement. Whilst a number of specific aspects are still under discussion, the European Council decided on 15 December that 'sufficient progress' had been achieved on the first-phase priority issues, and that negotiations could move on to the second phase – on transitional arrangements and the future EU-UK relationship – provided the commitments from the joint report are fully translated into the draft withdrawal agreement. For the transitional period, the European Parliament and the European Council have made clear that all existing Union regulatory, budgetary, supervisory, judiciary and enforcement instruments and structures must apply, including the competence of the Court of Justice of the European Union, but with no UK participation in decision-making, since it would no longer be a member of the EU. Exploratory discussions on the framework for the future relationship will begin only after the adoption by the European Council of additional guidelines in March 2018. The UK has still to clarify its position on the type of trade deal it seeks with the EU.

The European Council (EU-27) of 15 December will decide whether sufficient progress has been achieved in order to proceed to the second phase of negotiations. De un vistazo EN The political crisis in Venezuela Tipo de publicaciónBriefing Fecha 07-12-2017 AutorGOMEZ RAMIREZ Enrique Ámbito políticoAsuntos exteriores Palabra claveciudadano de la UE | crisis política | escasez de alimentos | libertad de opinión | oposición política | papel internacional de la UE | Parlamento nacional | situación económica | situación política | situación social | sociedad civil (movimientos de opinión) | tipo de cambio | Venezuela Resumen In December 2015, the results of elections to the Venezuelan National Assembly saw the Democratic Unity Roundtable coalition (MUD) prevail by a wide majority over the ruling Socialist Unified Party of Venezuela (PSUV) of President Nicolás Maduro. Since then, Venezuela has faced increasing political crisis. Initiatives by the duly elected Parliament have been systematically blocked, first by the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) and the National Electoral Council, and since August 2017 by the new National Constituent Assembly, which has taken over most of the Parliament's legislative powers. Two attempts at dialogue between the Venezuelan government and the opposition, promoted by international mediators, have so far failed to break the deadlock. The economic and social situation in the country is far from improving, and the number of Venezuelan asylum-seekers abroad has risen exponentially. Nevertheless, regional elections were finally held on 15 October 2017 – with a PSUV victory in 17 of the 23 Venezuelan states, amid accusations of fraud from the opposition – and the government has promised to go ahead with the presidential elections due in 2018. This is an update of a briefing published in October 2017. Briefing EN 30-12-2021 Fuente : © Unión Europea, 2021 - PE 6
UK Withdrawal (‘Brexit’) and the Good Friday Agreement Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 22-11-2017 Autor externo Dr. David PHINNEMORE Dr. Katy HAYWARD Ámbito político Comercio internacional | Cultura | Empleo | Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia | Protección de los consumidores | Transporte Palabra clave Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea | ciudadano de la UE | coexistencia pacífica | control fronterizo | cooperación económica | dimensión transfronteriza | extranjero | frontera exterior de la UE | Irlanda | Irlanda del Norte | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | país tercero | política de visados de la UE | Reino Unido | retirada de la UE Resumen Upon request by the AFCO Committee, the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs commissioned this study on UK withdrawal and the Good Friday Agreement (the ‘Agreement’). It provides an overview of the Agreement and an assessment of the potential challenges posed to its implementation by ‘Brexit’. In particular, it examines ways in which – through differentiation and ‘flexible and imaginative solutions’ – the Agreement can be upheld and the context for its effective implementation maintained. Estudio EN Single digital gateway Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 10-10-2017 Autor EISELE Katharina Ámbito político Mercado interior y unión aduanera Palabra clave acceso a la información | ciudadano de la UE | cooperación administrativa | empresa | estudio de impacto | flujo transfronterizo de datos | formalidad administrativa | intercambio de información | mercado único | propuesta (UE) | servicio | sistema de información Resumen This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the above proposal, submitted on 2 May 2017 and referred to Parliament's Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection. The initiative seeks to reduce as much as possible the additional administrative burden that EU citizens and businesses face when they expand their activities to other Member States. To achieve this, the IA explains that the single digital gateway should provide access to the national rules, requirements and procedures that citizens and businesses from other Member States need to know about and comply with. To assist the user with this journey, the gateway should cover three layers, namely information, procedures and assistance services. The REFIT Platform Government Group confirmed the significance of a 'user journey approach' (IA, p. 5). The proposal on the single digital gateway is one of the initiatives falling under the Commission's 2015 single market strategy. The proposal also forms part of the 'compliance package', which, alongside the single digital gateway, sets out a single market information tool and the SOLVIT action plan. In addition, the REFIT Platform (consisting of business stakeholders and Member State representatives) published an opinion in June 2016 recommending the establishment of a single entry point with clear information and coordinated services for businesses in each Member State to assist companies operating in the single market, and the definition of minimum common quality criteria for content.

Since then, annual celebrations of this day have been held to promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe. The European Parliament has consistently acted to support endangered languages and linguistic diversity in the EU, calling on the EU and the Member States to commit resources to their protection and promotion.

Brexit negotiations - Progress to date Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 15-09-2017 Autor CIRLIG Carmen-Cristina Ámbito político Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario Palabra clave acuerdo comercial | ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | frontera exterior de la UE | Irlanda | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | país tercero | pertenencia a la Unión Europea | reglamentación aduanera | Reino Unido | retirada de la UE | tratados europeos | Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea Resumen Since their official launch in June 2017, three rounds of negotiations on the United Kingdom's (UK) withdrawal from the European Union (EU) have been held. So far, the EU and UK have discussed the priority issues of citizens' rights, the financial settlement and the Irish border, but disagreements and ambiguities persist. After the third round, 'no decisive progress' was reached, according to Michel Barnier, the EU chief negotiator, which is likely to impede any advance to the second phase of talks in October, on transitional arrangements and the future EU-UK partnership, including trade relations.

This note offers links to recent commentaries and reports published by major international think tanks and other organisations on EU-UK negotiations and on the implications of Brexit more widely. Briefing EN The Brexit negotiations: Issues for the first phase Tipo de publicación Análisis en profundidad Fecha 22-06-2017 Autor D'ALFONSO Alessandro | MCELDOWNEY James | POPTCHEVA Eva-Maria Alexandrova | TILINDYTE-HUMBURG Laura Ámbito político Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario | Derecho de la UE: sistema jurídico y actos legislativos | Presupuesto Palabra clave ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | demanda de empleo | Derecho de la seguridad social | derecho de residencia | extranjero | frontera exterior de la UE | Irlanda | Irlanda del Norte | libre circulación de personas | Reino Unido | residencia de estudiantes | retirada de la UE | sistema sanitario | transferencia de derechos de pensión Resumen Negotiations on the arrangements for the UK's withdrawal from the EU started on 19 June 2017. The European Commission is negotiating on behalf of the EU, on the basis of the European Council guidelines and the mandate given to it by the Council. The European Parliament, for its part, has laid down key principles and conditions for its approval of a UK withdrawal agreement. Three key priorities are set to dominate the first phase of the negotiations (with the future relationship between the EU and the UK being left to a second phase). These are: citizens' rights for EU-27 citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU-27; the settlement of the UK's financial obligations; and ensuring the Northern Ireland peace process is not compromised. This paper looks at the EU negotiating position and the major issues raised under those three priorities to date. Análisis en profundidad DE, EN, FR 30-12-2021 Fuente : © Unión Europea, 2021 - PE 8

In particular, it first looks at the changes that Brexit will determine in relation to voting rights, the right to petition, the right to apply to the European Ombudsman and the European Citizens’ Initiative. It then focuses at length on the way Brexit will affect UK citizens in the EU-27, and EU citizens living in the UK. In this respect, it considers challenges and risks for both citizens who have resided in the EU- 27 or the UK for less than 5 years, and for those who have already acquired the right to permanent residence at the time of Brexit.

Tras la supresión gradual de las fronteras interiores conforme a los Acuerdos de Schengen, se adoptó la Directiva 2004/38/CE relativa al derecho de los ciudadanos de la Unión y de los miembros de sus familias a circular y residir libremente en el territorio de los Estados miembros. A pesar de la importancia que reviste este derecho, diez años después de la expiración del plazo fijado para ello, subsisten importantes obstáculos a la aplicación de las disposiciones de la Directiva.

It is an essential factor in the formation of a European identity. European citizenship exists as a complement to citizenship of a Member State. The main difference between the two is that the rights that citizens enjoy as a result of European citizenship are not matched with duties.

The research analyses the post-Brexit political developments in the UK, the various parameters that should be taken into account, by both the UK government and the 27, in view of the Article 50 negotiations and the possible shape of the final deal and the future economic relationship, taking into account the EU obligations and the constraints of Theresa May’s government. Análisis en profundidad EN Major changes in European public opinion towards the EU since1973 - 2015 Edition Tipo de publicaciónEstudio Fecha 05-02-2016 AutorNANCY Jacques Ámbito políticoDemocracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario Palabra claveciudadano de la UE | estadística de la UE | Europa de los ciudadanos | funcionamiento institucional | historia de Europa | identidad europea | institución comunitaria | opinión pública | pertenencia a la Unión Europea | política de la UE | recesión económica | reseña histórica | situación de la Unión Europea | situación económica Resumen This desk research focusses on the major shifts in European public opinion towards the European Union since 1973, when Eurobarometer was created by Jacques-René Rabier. The results are presented in a timeline and illustrate the evolution of citizens' opinion in the key phases of the Union's institutional, political, economic and social development. This is the second edition of the 2014 Desk Research, updated with results of the 2015 Parlemeter. The main findings on the evolution of public opinion in the last 40 years from 1973 to 2014 show that it has gone up and down, notably in response to financial, economic and social crises. The major institutional and political staging-posts in the EU's development have generally improved the perception of the EU. This is particularly true of enlargements and elections to the European Parliament. This analysis shows the overriding influence of the economic and social context on public opinion. This is very well illustrated by the financial and economic crisis which began in 2008, prompting a sharp decline in indicators of support for the EU. However, even in this context of crisis, results show that Europeans remain committed to Europe when it comes to basic EU values.

Six EU Member States deprive their nationals permanently resident abroad of the right to vote in national parliamentary elections. They also deprive such citizens residing in a third country of the vote in European elections, and two of them even when their nationals live in another EU Member State. Citizens disenfranchised in their country of origin often face exclusion from political life at national level in both their country of origin and of residence. In the case of citizens living in another EU Member State, the disenfranchisement rules could even amount to an infringement of their freedom of movement and residence under EU law. Solutions discussed include a Treaty change to allow EU citizens to vote in national parliamentary elections in their host Member State or to be able to choose between voting there or in their Member State of nationality. A more realistic solution envisages the abolition of disenfranchisement rules in those six Member States concerned, although such calls from EU institutions have found very limited favour in the six concerned.

The US Legal System on Data Protection in the Field of Law Enforcement. Safeguards, Rights and Remedies for EU Citizens Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha15-05-2015 Autor externo Francesca Bignami (George Washington University Law School, Washington, USA) Ámbito político Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia Palabra clave atentado contra la seguridad del Estado | ciudadano de la UE | comunicación de datos | espionaje | Estados Unidos | fuentes del Derecho | investigación judicial | protección de datos | protección de la vida privada | recogida de datos | sistema judicial Resumen Upon request by the LIBE Committee, this study surveys the US legal system of data protection in the field of federal law enforcement. It reviews two principal sources of US data protection law, the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution and the Privacy Act of 1974. It also considers the legally prescribed methods of data collection, together with their associated data protection guarantees, in ordinary criminal investigations and national security investigations. Throughout, the study pays special attention to the rights afforded to EU citizens. Estudio EN 'Foreign fighters' - Member States' responses and EU action in an international context Tipo de publicaciónBriefing Fecha 05-02-2015 AutorBAKOWSKI Piotr | PUCCIO Laura Ámbito políticoAsuntos exteriores | Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia Palabra claveCarta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea | ciudadano de la UE | competencia extraterritorial | cooperación policial | cooperación policial (UE) | Derecho penal | Estado miembro UE | Estados Unidos | nacionalidad | recogida de datos | sanción penal | seguridad europea | servicio secreto | terrorismo | viajero Resumen As the hostilities in Syria and Iraq continue and terrorism activities worldwide seem to be on the rise, EU Member States are increasingly confronted with the problem of aspiring and returning 'foreign fighters'. Whereas the phenomenon is not new, its scale certainly is, which explains the wide perception of these individuals as a serious threat to the security of both individual Member States and the EU as a whole. The problem has been addressed within international fora including the United Nations, which in 2014 adopted a binding resolution specifically addressing the issue of foreign fighters. The EU is actively engaged in relevant international initiatives. Within the EU, security in general and counter-terrorism in particular have traditionally remained in the Member States' remit. The EU has however coordinated Member States' activities regarding the prevention of radicalisation, the detection of suspicious travel, criminal justice response and cooperation with third countries. The EU is seeking to strengthen its role given the widely shared feeling of insecurity in the wake of recent terrorist attacks. Existing and new paths for EU action are being explored, including the revived EU passenger name records (PNR) proposal. Individual Member States have stepped up their efforts to address the problem using various kinds of tools including criminal law, administrative measures and 'soft tools', such as counter-radicalisation campaigns. The Member States most affected have also cooperated with each other outside the EU framework. The United States has a particularly developed counter- terrorism framework now being used to deal with foreign fighters. Since 9/11, the EU and the US have cooperated on counter-terrorism despite different philosophies on issues such as data protection. Briefing EN 30-12-2021 Fuente : © Unión Europea, 2021 - PE 11
Disenfranchisement of EU citizens resident abroad - Situation in national and European elections in EU Member States Tipo de publicación Análisis en profundidad Fecha 10-12-2014 Autor POPTCHEVA Eva-Maria Alexandrova Ámbito político Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario Palabra clave Alemania | Chipre | ciudadano de la UE | ciudadanía europea | Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos | Derecho de la UE - Derecho nacional | derecho de voto | Derecho electoral | Dinamarca | elecciones europeas | elecciones generales | elecciones nacionales | Irlanda | libre circulación de personas | Malta | privación de derechos | Reino Unido Resumen The right to vote in elections is a fundamental right common to the constitutional traditions of the Member States, and recognised in the EU Treaties as intrinsically related to the right of political participation which, for its part, provides democratic legitimacy to those exercising public power. This right is not absolute though and is subject to restrictions. The decision of who is conferred the right to vote in national and also in European elections lies with states. Six EU Member States deprive their nationals, under varying conditions, of the right to vote in national parliamentary elections due to residence abroad, both in other Member States and in third countries. These same six Member States also disenfranchise their nationals in European elections, if they live permanently in a third country, and two of them even do so in respect of nationals resident within the EU. 'Disenfranchisement' due to residence abroad can be a result of minimum residence requirements in the country in which elections take place as well as of losing electoral rights due to time spent abroad. The lack of facilities to vote from abroad, while rendering the exercise of voting rights difficult, does not amount to their loss as such.Disenfranchisement is based on the assumption that expatriates are not affected by the political decisions taken in their country of nationality and that they are not able to cast a meaningful vote due to lack of knowledge of the political reality there. Globalisation and improved communication means have however induced a tendency towards enfranchising expatriates. Citizens deprived of their right to vote in national elections in their country of nationality often face exclusion from political life at national level in both their state of residence and their state of origin since EU Member States (and more so third countries) do not generally provide any right to vote in national elections to non-nationals. Whilst the European Court of Human Rights saw no infringement of Convention rights from disenfranchisement rules, the loss of electoral rights for citizens who move to another EU Member State could be seen as an infringement upon the freedom of movement under EU law, since it could potentially stop EU citizens from exercising their free movement rights. Different solutions have been discussed. Actions at EU level include a possible infringement procedure against those Member States who disenfranchise their nationals resident elsewhere in the EU, as well as a Treaty change to include a voting right for EU citizens in their host Member State or the right to choose to vote in national elections either in their Member State of nationality or in the host Member State. Another proposal, which is more realistic in the short term, is to convince Member States to enfranchise nationals living in another EU Member State or at least to enhance the conditions for them to preserve their right to vote.

With pilot volunteers already on the ground, adoption of the proposed regulation will ensure the initiative maximises its contribution to EU aid objectives. De un vistazo EN Switzerland Votes ‘Against Mass Immigration’: How Can the EU Respond?

As the EU incorporated new Member States, the bilateral agreements with Switzerland were extended to new EU countries. The Swiss government has already applied a ‘safeguard clause’ to limit the longterm residence permits for EU citizens. The Swiss authorities must implement the referendum within three years. The EU may choose among different courses of action, which would involve the European Parliament to different degrees. The seven linked agreements could be terminated… or suspended. Negotiations on the wider institutional framework for bilateral relations may also be frozen. The referendum confirms the need for a new framework.
