Zusammenfassung The COVID-19 pandemic shone a light on the growing importance of digital health technologies, both to enable remote
medical care and to facilitate the health response from international, national and local authorities. The European
Commission's May 2022 proposal for a regulation on a European health data space aims to improve individuals'
access to and control over their electronic personal data (primary use), while facilitating data re-use for the good of
society across the EU (secondary use). The proposal establishes a set of rules, infrastructure and governance
mechanisms to promote the primary and secondary use of electronic health data, while ensuring data protection and
strengthening cybersecurity. The Commission expects the initiative to have a broad socio-economic impact. Its
success is thought to depend not only on the capacity to implement the legal base effectively, but also on broader
conditions such as EU-wide connectivity, social trust and digital skills. The European Parliament's Committees on Civil
Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) and on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) adopted
their joint report on 28 November 2023. The Council adopted its general approach on 6 December 2023. Parliament
voted the report in plenary on 13 December. ENVI and LIBE endorsed the agreement resulting from interinstitutional
negotiations on 9 April 2024. It is due to be put to the vote during the April II 2024 plenary session. Third edition. The

Cross-border exchange of information on road safety-related traffic offences

Zusammenfassung Road safety has improved significantly in the EU, with the number of road fatalities falling by more than 60 % in the last
20 years. However, improvements in road safety fell short of the EU goals of decreasing the number of road deaths by
50 % between 2001 and 2010, and by an additional 50 % between 2011 and 2020. Directive (EU) 2015/413 facilitating
cross-border exchange of information on road safety-related traffic offences – the Cross-border Enforcement (CBE)
Directive – is one of the pillars of the policy framework to improve road safety in the EU. It aims to help improve road
safety by tackling the relative impunity of non-resident drivers. The revision, announced in the European Commission's
sustainable and smart mobility strategy in 2020, seeks to address key shortcomings in existing rules. According to
Commission estimates, 40 % of cross-border offences are committed with impunity, either because the offender is not
identified or because the fine is not enforced. The Commission tabled its proposal to revise the CBE Directive on 1
March 2023 as part of the road safety package. In the European Parliament, the file was assigned to the Committee on
Transport and Tourism (rapporteur: Kosma Złotowski, ECR, Poland). Following interinstitutional negotiations, the
Parliament and Council negotiators reached a provisional agreement on the final wording of the text on 12 March
2024. This must now be formally approved by the Parliament and Council. Third edition. The 'EU Legislation in
Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.

The EU's digital trade policy
Art der Veröffentlichung Briefing

Verfasser JUTTEN Marc
Politikbereich Internationaler Handel
Zusammenfassung Digital trade has become a key element in the EU's trade policy. Every modern trade agreement that the EU has
concluded contains a dedicated digital trade chapter. The digital trade provisions in EU trade agreements have evolved
over time, which reflects the increasing role digital trade plays today in the world economy. While there is no clear
measurement of digital trade yet, the OECD estimates nevertheless that digital trade represents around 25 % (in 2020)
of total trade. The EU, as the world's largest exporter and importer of digitally deliverable services, has a strong market
position. Therefore, the development towards more digital trade provides opportunities for European consumers and
the economy. In order to exploit the full potential of digital trade, it is essential to overcome fragmentation and set
international standards and common digital trade rules. The EU aims to shape digital trade rules at the WTO and
through free trade agreements. Moreover, the EU's digital trade policy is an important instrument for its green and
digital transition. The European Commission stated in its 2021 'Trade Policy Review – An Open, Sustainable and
Assertive Trade Policy' that the Union's (multilateral and bilateral) trade policy – as a priority – should support Europe's
green and digital agenda and pursue the objective of ensuring a leading position for the EU in digital trade. The key
difference between digital trade and traditional trade is the prominence of cross-border data flows. The free flow of
data is key for economic growth and can increase the benefits from digital trade. However, certain data are considered
'sensitive' and require protection and/or specific processing conditions. The absence of comprehensive, binding
multilateral rules specifically for cross-border data flows and privacy is challenging. That is why 87 WTO Members,
including EU Member States, are currently engaged in e-commerce negotiations at the WTO. Most recently, the EU
started to strengthen its digital ties with like-minded partners. In April 2023, the Council of the EU authorised the
Commission to open negotiations on digital trade principles with Singapore and the Republic of Korea.

Zusammenfassung Overall, the IA describes the scope of the problem sufficiently well, and explains briefly, but convincingly, the need for
EU action, although proportionality does not appear to have been dealt with in any depth. The IA does not define any
operational objectives, which would illustrate what the deliverables of the specific policy actions are, although it
identifies monitoring indicators for the specific objectives. The sufficient range of retained policy options is structured
according to increasing levels of regulatory intervention, and appears to be convincing. However, the IA would have
benefited from providing a more user-friendly description of some of the envisaged measures. On the whole, the IA
appears to have analysed aspects of the economic impact satisfactorily, while the analysis regarding environmental
impacts is very limited, although this appears justified based on the problem definition and the objectives identified. As
regards social impacts, the IA quantifies the benefits, expressed in terms of savings in health expenditure, for
healthcare providers, patients, researchers and innovators. The analysis regarding the impact on SMEs is rather weak,
not least considering that 95 % of the companies operating in the medical technologies sector are SMEs. The analysis
of the impact on innovation is not dealt with comprehensively, whereas this would perhaps have been warranted
considering that increasing innovation in health products and services is part of the general and specific objectives,
while the analysis regarding competitiveness is almost non-existent. The IA appears to have addressed the RSB's
comments only partially. The proposal appears to be consistent with the analysis carried out in the IA as regards the
envisaged measures included in the preferred options.

Law applicable to the third-party effects of assignments of claims
Art der Veröffentlichung Briefing

Verfasser DELIVORIAS Angelos
Politikbereich Finanz- und Bankenangelegenheiten | Wirtschaft und Währung
Zusammenfassung The assignment of a claim refers to a situation where a creditor (the assignor) transfers the right to claim a debt from
the debtor to another person (the assignee) who then becomes a creditor vis-a-vis the debtor (replacing in this role the
original creditor). This mechanism is used by companies to obtain liquidity and access credit. At the moment, there is
no legal certainty as to which national law applies when determining who owns a claim after it has been assigned in a
cross-border case. The new rules proposed by the Commission will clarify which national law is applicable for the
resolution of such disputes. As a general rule, the law of the country where assignors have their habitual residence
applies, regardless of which Member State's courts or authorities examine the case. This proposal will promote cross-
border investment and access to cheaper credit, and prevent systemic risks. Both Parliament and Council have
adopted their positions, and the proposal is currently the subject of trilogue negotiations. Second edition. 'EU

Roaming Regulation review

Zusammenfassung The Roaming Regulation established the 'roam like at home' (RLAH) rule that mandated the end of retail mobile
roaming charges as of 15 June 2017 in all EU Member States and EEA countries. The regulation is currently in force
until 30 June 2022. The application of the RLAH rule has been a success, boosting the use of mobile devices while
travelling to other EU/EEA countries. For instance, the use of data roaming increased 17 times in the summer of 2019
compared with the summer preceding the abolition of roaming surcharges. Nevertheless, five years after its
implementation, the Commission needed to review the Roaming Regulation, with a view to extending the roaming
market rules for a further 10 years. The Commission also sought to continue lowering wholesale roaming charges,
improve the quality of roaming services, and provide access to all available network generations and technologies,
including free access to emergency services, and information on any cost incurred in accessing value added services.
Within the European Parliament the file was allocated to the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE). The
committee report was adopted on 14 October 2021, and the mandate for trilogue negotiations approved in plenary the
following week. For its part, the Council agreed its position on 16 June 2021. The co-legislators reached a provisional
agreement on the text on 9 December 2021. According to the final text, which was published in the Official Journal of
the EU on 13 April 2022 and enters into force on 1 July 2022, the RLAH regime will be renewed for a further 10 years.

Zusammenfassung Regarding health data, its availability and comparability, the Covid-19 pandemic revealed that the EU has no clear
health data architecture. The lack of harmonisation in these practices and the absence of an EU-level centre for data
analysis and use to support a better response to public health crises is the focus of this study. Through extensive desk
review, interviews with key actors, and enquiry into experiences from outside the EU/EEA area, this study highlights
that the EU must have the capacity to use data very effectively in order to make data-supported public health policy
proposals and inform political decisions. The possible functions and characteristics of an EU health data centre are
outlined. The centre can only fulfil its mandate if it has the power and competency to influence Member State public-
health-relevant data ecosystems and institutionally link with their national level actors. The institutional structure, its
possible activities and in particular its usage of advanced technologies such as AI are examined in detail.

International transfers of personal data

Politikbereich Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts
Zusammenfassung In its July 2020 Schrems II ruling, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) invalidated the European
Commission's US adequacy decision on account of insufficient US data protection standards. Drawing from the
judgment, personal data may – in principle – only be transferred to a third country outside the EU/European Economic
Area if the third country ensures an 'essentially equivalent' level of data protection to that of the EU, or if
supplementary measures are deployed to compensate for the lacunae in protection. With the United Kingdom (UK)
becoming a third country within the meaning of EU data protection law, the convenient and cost-effective continuation
of EU–UK data flows will depend on the adoption of the (already controversial) draft adequacy decisions concerning
the UK. During its May plenary session, Parliament is due to debate resolutions on, respectively, the Schrems II ruling,
and on UK data adequacy, i.e. the country's level of data protection.

Zusammenfassung The Roaming Regulation established the ‘Roam-Like-At-Home’ (RLAH) rule that mandated the end of retail roaming
charges as of 15 June 2017 in the EU. The Regulation will be in force until 30 June 2022. In 2021, the European
Commission would review the Regulation, assessing its effects and the need to prolong it. The analysis of the Body of
European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) shows that a regulatory intervention is still necessary to
ensure the EU citizens can continue to benefit of the RLAH rule.

Single market information tool (SMIT)

Verfasser KARAKAS Cemal
Politikbereich Binnenmarkt und Zollunion
Zusammenfassung Competition and consumer protection in the single market are often undermined by price discrimination based on
residency. While many market players do not cooperate with the Commission, for instance not disclosing their pricing
structure, Member States often do not have the means or the tools to collect and deliver the required information to the
Commission. The SMIT proposal would provide the Commission with powers such as to request business-related
information (e.g. cost structure or product volumes sold), and to address market failures in a more efficient way. The
SMIT, however, has raised some criticism in the Council and EP, inter alia, because of the Commission’s choice of the
legal basis for the proposal. Parliament’s Legal Service stated in an opinion that the correct legal basis for the
Commission proposal is Article 337 TFEU: a legal basis which gives no legislative role for the EP. On 12 July 2018, the
IMCO committee adopted a report which would amend the proposal’s legal basis. The JURI committee subsequently
adopted an opinion stating that the Commission proposal goes beyond the powers available under the proposed
revised legal basis. The report was initially due to be voted in plenary in October 2018, but was taken off the agenda.
As the parliamentary term has concluded, the report has now lapsed. The European Commission withdrew this
legislative proposal on 29 September 2020. The procedure has thus ended.

Zusammenfassung In its July 2020 Schrems II judgment, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) declared the European
Commission’s Privacy Shield Decision invalid on account of invasive US surveillance programmes, thereby making
transfers of personal data on the basis of the Privacy Shield Decision illegal. Furthermore, the Court stipulated stricter
requirements for the transfer of personal data based on standard contract clauses (SCCs). Data controllers or
processors that intend to transfer data based on SCCs must ensure that the data subject is granted a level of
protection essentially equivalent to that guaranteed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU
Charter of Fundamental Rights (CFR) – if necessary with additional measures to compensate for lacunae in protection
of third-country legal systems. Failing that, operators must suspend the transfer of personal data outside the EU.

Zusammenfassung On 14 September 2016, the European Commission proposed an updated regulation on the Body of European
Regulators of Electronic Communications (BEREC). The proposal aims at transforming BEREC into a fully fledged
agency. The Commission proposes allocating new tasks to BEREC and granting it legally binding powers. New tasks
include providing guidelines for national regulatory authorities (NRAs) on geographical surveys, developing common
approaches to meet end-user interests, and also developing common approaches to deliver peer-reviewed opinions on
draft national measures (e.g. radio spectrum assignments) and on cross-border disputes. In June 2018, Parliament
and Council found a compromise in trilogue. The BEREC office will have legal personality, but not BEREC itself, which
remains a body of NRAs. Parliament and Council also agreed on giving new tasks to BEREC and on moving from
simple majority to two-thirds majority for key decisions of the Board of Regulators and of the Management Board. The
final act was signed on 10 December 2018, and entered into force on 20 December 2018. Fourth edition. The ‘EU

Zusammenfassung One of the 16 key elements of the Commission’s digital single market strategy, presented in 2015, was a legislative
proposal to facilitate the free flow of non-personal data. The mid-term review of the digital single market in 2017
identified the data economy as one of the top three priority areas in the second half of the strategy’s implementation. It
found the European data economy could grow 18-fold, given favourable policy and legislative conditions, representing
4 % of EU GDP by 2020. On 13 September 2017, the Commission tabled a proposal for a regulation aimed at
removing obstacles to the free movement of non-personal data across borders. It focuses on removing the
geographical restrictions on data storage in the internal market, a move long demanded by stakeholders. In addition,
the Commission proposes self-regulation to facilitate switching cloud-service-providers for professional users. Other,
less widely agreed aspects, such as access rights and liability were left for future proposals. The European Parliament
adopted the legislation on 3 October 2018 and it was approved by the Council of Ministers on 9 November. The
regulation was signed by both institutions on 14 November and published in the Official Journal on 28 November. It will
be directly applicable in all Member States from 18 June 2019. Fourth edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’

Zusammenfassung As part of the ‘compliance package’, the Commission intends to provide a single digital entry point to offer easy and
efficient online access for businesses and citizens, comprising: (1) information about Union and national law and
administrative requirements, (2) procedures, such as company registration, and (3) services providing assistance upon
request. The portal would serve start-ups and growing companies, as well as helping companies conducting business
in another country. Access to these services would be non-discriminatory, i.e. citizens and businesses from other
Member States would have full access to the information and services, and this not only in the language used in the
country in which they want to do business. The proposal builds on several existing schemes, such as single points of
entry at national level; these cover only a few fields, are not always interconnected, suffer from being little known and
are therefore underutilised. In May 2018, trilogues concluded with a provisional agreement, which was then confirmed
by both Parliament and Council. The final act was signed on 2 October 2018.

Zusammenfassung This study forms part of a wider-ranging project which seeks to lay the groundwork for comparisons between legal
frameworks governing the right to respect for private life in different legal systems, and between the ways in which the
systems address the challenges that the ‘digital age’ poses to the exercise of that right. It analyses, with reference to
the United Kingdom, the legislation in force, the most relevant case law and the nature of the right to respect for private
life. Chapter 2 describes the concept of a right to respect for private life as it is recognised in UK legislation. This
section of materials is subdivided into two parts. The first part outlines statutory protection for privacy interests,
including the recently enacted Data Protection Act 2018 that gives domestic effect to the General Data Protection
Regulations. The rest of chapter 2 discusses the most prominent set of statutory restrictions or qualifications upon the
right. Privacy interests are thus revealed to be limited in the interests of national security and the prevention,
investigation and detection of crime including crimes connected to the sexual abuse of children and young persons.
Particular sets of laws authorise interception, examination and retention of digital online communications. Relevant
obligations imposed on ISPs and telecommunications companies are described as are safeguards against unlawful
forms of intrusion into these communications. Chapter 3 provides an overview of relevant jurisprudence in privacy
related matters. A central focus of this chapter is the relatively recently developed tort of misuse of personal
information. An evaluation of the overall state of UK law is offered in chapter 4. Finally, the conclusion identifies some
privacy-related issues that are likely to arise in the near future.

existing one (Regulation No 45/2001). The aim is to align it to the 2016 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
that has been fully applicable since 25 May 2018. Interinstitutional trilogue meetings, in which debate focused on also
applying the regulation to operational data of EU bodies carrying out law enforcement activities, brought an agreement

EU-Bürger als ausreichend erachtet wird. In dieser Studie werden die wichtigsten Verbesse-rungen des
Datenschutzschilds (im Vergleich zu seinem Vorgänger) sowie die kritischen Reaktionen auf die neue Vereinbarung
erörtert. Die erste gemeinsame jährliche Überprüfung fand im September 2017 statt, zu der sowohl die Kommission
als auch die Artikel-29-Datenschutzgruppe eigene Berichte veröffentlichten. Einige Fortschritte sind zwar erkennbar,
doch es bleiben einige Bedenken bestehen. Außerdem haben sich unter anderem aufgrund des Skandals um
Facebook/ Cambridge Analytica neue Herausforderungen in Bezug auf den Datenschutzschild ergeben, wie das
Europä¬ische Parlament in seiner jüngsten Entschließung festgestellt hat.

Zusammenfassung This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional
Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee, provides an overview of the Prüm regime. It first considers the
background of the Prüm Convention and Prüm Decision. The subsequent two chapters summarize the Prüm regime in
relation mainly to DNA data looking at value and shortcomings; and ethical, legal and social implications of forensic
DNA typing and databasing in relation to the Prüm regime. Finally, based on the analysis, it provides the policy
recommendations.

Zusammenfassung In order to avoid conflict with the freedom to conduct a business and the freedom of contract the wording of article 4(1)
should be amended and be addressed to the Member States;
• The proposal underplays that information security has a legal dimension to it, notoriously so because member states’
national security activities operate outside the scope of EU law;
• The principle aversion against locality that emanates from the proposal may not be fully aligned with state-of-the-art
technology where multiple data mirrors geographically distribute a dataset. For example, one local mirror is advisable
for business continuity in the event of a disruption of transmission infrastructure;
• Not all non-personal data is created equal; from the stream of non-personal data that is for example generated in the
Internet of Things (IoT) data necessary to control real world devises should in addition be locally accessible;
• Whithout contradicting the philosophy behind the free flow of non-personal data proposal this briefing presents
examples for interventions that should be justifyable on grounds of public policy or the protection of health and life of
humans, animals or plants.

Zusammenfassung Data is not static in a personal/non-personal classification – with modern analytic methods, certain non-personal data
can help to generate personal data – so the distinction may become blurred. Thus, de-anonymisation techniques with
advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and manipulation of large datasets will become a major issue.
In some new applications, such as smart cities and connected cars, the enormous volumes of data gathered may be
used for personal information as well as for non-personal functions, so such data may cross over from the technical
and non-personal into the personal domain.
A debate is taking place on whether current EU restrictions on confidentiality of personal private information should be
relaxed so as to include personal information in free and open data flows. However, it is unlikely that a loosening of
such rules will be positive for the growth of open data. Public distrust of open data flows may be exacerbated because
of fears of potential commercial misuse of such data, as well of leakages, cyberattacks, and so on.
The proposed recommendations are: to promote the use of open data licences to build trust and openness, promote
sharing of private enterprises’ data within vertical sectors and across sectors to increase the volume of open data
through incentive programmes, support testing for contamination of open data mixed with personal data to ensure
open data is scrubbed clean - and so reinforce public confidence, ensure anti-competitive behaviour does not
compromise the open data initiative.

Constitutional Affairs at the request of the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI-Committee), is a contribution to the
workshop on "Text and data mining" held on 22 February 2018 in Brussels. It provides an analysis of the
Commission’s Proposal (which introduces in Article 3 a mandatory exception to copyright allowing to carry out text and
data mining of protected works), assesses its positive and negative impacts and provides some suggestions for
possible improvements. Advantages of introducing an “open clause” on top of an enumerated list of exceptions to
address some of the related problems are also reviewed.

Zusammenfassung In an increasingly data-driven and information-rich socio-economic context, the potential of predictive text and data
mining (TDM, sometimes also referred to as text and data analysis) lies in particular in facilitating the processing,
recombining, and extraction of further knowledge from large amounts of data and text, thus allowing the identification
of patterns and associations between seemingly unrelated pieces of information.
To place things in context, according to an IBM marketing study, 90 percent of the data in the world today has been
created in the last two years alone. Every day, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created, and it is expected that such
growth rate will continue at an even faster pace in the future.
In this sense, the analogy made with the physical universe appears apt: it is expected that by 2020 the digital universe
– which consists of data created and copied annually and is doubling in size every two years – will contain nearly as
many digital bits as there are stars in the universe.

Zusammenfassung This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact
assessment (IA) accompanying the above Commission proposal (the proposal), submitted on 13 September 2017 and
referred to Parliament's Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO). The creation of a connected
digital single market is one of the ten priorities identified by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in his political
guidelines for the Commission at the start of his mandate. In its digital single market strategy (DSM), the Commission
stated that 'Any unnecessary restrictions regarding the location of data within the EU should both be removed and
prevented' and committed to proposing an initiative to tackle restrictions on the free movement of data and unjustified
restrictions on the location of data for storage or processing purposes. The challenges to the data economy are also
specifically discussed in the 2017 communication on building a European data economy, which recognises that
'unjustified restrictions on the free movement of data are likely to constrain the development of the EU data economy
[and] impair the freedom to provide services and the freedom of establishment stipulated in the Treaty'. The aim of the
proposal is to remove geographical restrictions on the storage of non-personal data in the internal market and to
facilitate switching between cloud service providers and the porting of data. It is meant to complement the 2016
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which provides a single set of rules for the protection of personal data and
provides the basis for the free flow of such data. Thus, for the purposes of the proposal, data is defined as 'data other
than personal data as referred to in' the GDPR. The Commission seeks to build upon the existing applicable legal
framework that regulates the internal market for data services (E commerce Directive, Services Directive,
Transparency Directive), and pursues a high level of cybersecurity in the EU (NIS Directive), while at the same time
remaining consistent with the existing provisions.

Zusammenfassung Currently, EU company law is partially codified in Directive (EU) 2017/1132 relating to certain aspects of company law.
Harmonisation of EU company law is a prerequisite for deploying a fully-fledged digital single market enabling all
operators, in particular SMEs, to draw on the potential of the digital economy and to eliminate unnecessary barriers,
while safeguarding their rights and providing legal and cyber security. Despite the recent codification and recently
amended other pieces of EU company law, problems linked with legal certainty, administrative burden, unnecessary
costs for companies resulting in lack of transparency or ineffective protection of companies, still remain. These points
were noted and underscored several times by the European Parliament. The European Commission is expected to
publish a legislative proposal on an EU company law package on 16 January 2018, potentially addressing
digitalisation, cross-border mergers, divisions and conversions, as well as rules on conflict of laws related to company
law.

Zusammenfassung 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.

Zusammenfassung The European single market for payments is based on the idea of providing safer and more innovative payment
services across the EU. To this end, the European institutions are working on establishing rules and tools to make
payment services easier and to foster competition. The aim is to guarantee common standards in all Member States,
efficient, faster and diversified types of payment, and consumer protection. The EU has already put several legislative
tools in place, has established common criteria and requirements, and provided alternatives (such as e-money) to
'traditional' payment channels. 'Payment services' mean those defined by the EU legislation in the field, and cover
common tools and standards for cross-border payments (SEPA), and also e-money services. This Implementation
Appraisal deals with cross-border payments and, more specifically, with Regulation (EC) No 924/2009 in the context of
the planned European Commission review. Eight years after its entry into force, the Commission has announced its
intention to extend its scope to non-euro currencies.

Zusammenfassung 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 creation of a deeper and fairer single market is one of the ten main
priorities of the Juncker Commission. To this end, the Commission proposed a new single market strategy in 2015.
One of the key areas of the single market strategy’s targeted actions is dedicated to a smart enforcement strategy and
the culture of compliance and is entitled ‘Ensuring practical delivery’. Within this area, the strategy announced, among
other actions, ‘a regulatory initiative on a market information tool for the Single Market, enabling the Commission to
collect information from selected market players’ (Single Market Strategy, p.16). It is this 'Single Market Information
Tool' (SMIT) that is the subject of the Commission proposal. Two other initiatives were proposed by the Commission
alongside the SMIT on 2 May 2017 as part of the compliance package: a regulation establishing a single digital
gateway and an action plan on the reinforcement of the SOLVIT tool .

Zusammenfassung Digital technologies, taken as a broad generic category of technological inventions and applications, fall under a rare
kind of ‘disruptive technologies’ that can radically change existing economic sectors, enable new modes of work,
production and consumption and trigger broader societal transformations. To make apt policy decisions, there is a
distinct need to understand what these technologies and their effects actually are and how they may develop over
time. This study attends to this need in particular with regard to the implications of digital technologies for EU’s external
trade policies. It accentuates the critical importance of data and cross-border data flows for the emergent digital
economy and underscores the need to appropriately address them with a calibrated and more proactive positioning of
the EU in international trade venues.

Zusammenfassung In January 2017, the Commission tabled a proposal for a regulation on privacy and electronic communications which
would replace the current 2002 e-Privacy Directive. The main objectives of the review are: enhancing security and
communications confidentiality; defining clearer rules on tracking technologies such as cookies; and achieving greater
harmonisation among Member States. Stakeholders are divided on certain issues, including on the basic need for a
new measure to protect confidentiality in e-communications. Some national parliaments have made comments on the
proposal, and discussions are progressing in Council. In the European Parliament, rapporteur Marju Lauristin (S&D,
Estonia) presented a draft report to the Civil Liberties Committee on 21 June 2017, and this is expected to be voted in
October 2017.
