Résumé On 18 June 2018, the Commission put forward a proposal for a regulation establishing a Customs programme for
cooperation in the field of customs over the 2021-2027 MFF period, a successor to Customs 2020. The programme's
main objective is to fund actions aimed at strengthening the customs union. On 15 December 2020, the co-legislators
reached agreement in trilogue. The Council adopted its first-reading position on 1 March 2021. On 8 March 2021,
IMCO – the committee responsible for the file in the European Parliament – adopted its recommendation for second
reading of the Customs programme by the Parliament. The Parliament voted to adopt the first-reading position without
amendments on 10 March 2021, and the final act was signed the following day. The regulation was published in the
Official Journal on 15 March 2021 and entered into force immediately, and with retroactive application as of 1 January
2021. First edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative
procedure.

Résumé The Commission adopted a legislative proposal for a directive amending Directive 1999/62/EC on the charging of
heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures (known as the Eurovignette Directive) in May 2017. The
proposal was presented within the context of the Commission's 'Europe on the move' package that sought to
modernise mobility and transport and included several legislative proposals. The objective of the Eurovignette
proposal, which would substantially amend the existing legislation by extending the scope of vehicles covered, is to
make progress in the application of the 'polluter pays' and 'user pays' principles. The Committee on Transport and
Tourism (TRAN) of the European Parliament, in charge of the file, adopted its report on 24 May 2018 and the
Parliament adopted its first-reading position on 25 October 2018. After the 2019 European elections, the TRAN
committee voted in favour of opening negotiations with the Council. The Council, on its side, started discussions on the
proposal at the end of 2017 and after a standstill of one year, resumed them in 2019. After several compromise
proposals and improvements by the Croatian and German Presidencies, the Council approved its negotiating mandate
on the proposal on 18 December 2020. Interinstitutional negotiations began at the end of January 2021 and are
expected to be complicated.

Understanding the European Commission's right to withdraw legislative proposals

Résumé Although the European Commission exercises its right to withdraw a legislative proposal sparingly, doing so may
become a contentious issue, particularly where a legislative proposal is withdrawn for reasons other than a lack of
agreement between institutions or when a proposal clearly becomes obsolete – such as a perceived distortion of the
purpose of the original proposal. Closely connected with the right of legislative initiative attributed to the Commission
under the current Treaty rules, the European Court of Justice issued a judgment on the matter in case C 409/13. The
Court spelled out the Commission's power to withdraw a proposal relative to the power of the two co-legislators, and
also indicated the limits of this power. In this sense, the Court considers the Commission's power to withdraw
proposals to be a corollary of its power of legislative initiative, which must be exercised in a reasoned manner and in a
way that is amenable to judicial review. However, the Court's judgment does not solve all the issues connected to this
matter. Whilst the judgment develops the Court's arguments along the lines of the current institutional setting,
academia has expressed some concern as to whether the judgment is truly in line with the recently emerged push for a
higher democratic character in institutional dynamics. The forthcoming Conference on the Future of Europe may
provide the opportunity to rethink some of the issues surrounding the exercise of legislative initiative; which remains a
matter of a constitutional and founding nature.

Résumé Passerelle clauses are a mechanism for introducing Treaty change of a very specific nature. They modify the decision-
making rules that affect acts of the Council, by allowing a shift from unanimity to qualified majority voting or from a
special legislative procedure to the ordinary legislative procedure. This study explores the differences between
passerelle clauses and other flexibility measures (enhanced cooperation, the flexibility clause, and accelerator or brake
clauses) and explores the main legal issues surrounding the introduction, revocation, and effects of passerelle clauses
and their relationship with the other Treaty revision mechanisms. The analysis focuses not only on the two general
passerelle clauses set out in Article 48(7) TEU, but also on the specific passerelle clauses contained in the Treaties in
the field of environment, social policy, the multiannual financial framework, common foreign and security policy, family
law and enhanced cooperation. Finally, the study outlines recent Commission proposals to use general and/or specific
passerelles in certain policy areas, and the approaches taken by other institutions with respect to this constitutional
tool.

Résumé 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.

Résumé The regulations on admission to the occupation of road transport operator and on access to the international road
transport market have been contributing to the functioning of EU road transport and fairer competition between
resident and non-resident hauliers since December 2011. Despite the improvements they have brought to the sector,
persistent shortcomings such as diverging national application of the rules and uneven enforcement called for a
revision of both acts. On 31 May 2017, as part of a 'mobility package', the European Commission adopted a new
proposal to address the main shortcomings affecting the sector, and improve its competitiveness and efficiency. In
June 2018, Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) adopted its report. After further debates and
procedural developments, Parliament adopted its first-reading position on 4 April 2019. The Council, on its side,
reached a general approach on this proposal in December 2018, under the Austrian Presidency. After four negotiating
rounds, the Council and Parliament reached a provisional agreement on the proposal on 12 December 2019, which
was approved by Coreper on 20 December. The Council formally adopted its first-reading position on 7 April 2020, and
the TRAN committee recommended on 8 June that Parliament approve it at second reading. The agreed text is thus
due to be voted in plenary in July at second reading. If adopted, this would put an end to three years of debate on a
complex and controversial proposal. Sixth edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages

Résumé The EU has established a range of social measures applicable to the road transport sector, which aim at improving
drivers' working conditions, road safety and competition. To give real substance to these measures, compliance is key.
The 2006 Enforcement Directive was therefore adopted to effectively implement the social provisions of the Driving
Time Regulation. The present proposal, published in the context of the European Commission's 2017 'Europe on the
move' initiative, seeks to remedy some shortcomings of the Enforcement Directive, such as non-uniform
implementation. Additionally, it puts forward specific rules on the posting of workers in the road sector, to respond to
concerns raised regarding the inadequacy of the Posting of Workers Directive, when applied to the road transport
sector. The European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) adopted its report in June 2018.
After further debates and procedural developments, the Parliament adopted its first-reading position on 4 April 2019.

Résumé In November 2017, the European Commission proposed a revision of Directive 2009/33/EC on the promotion of clean
and energy-efficient road transport vehicles (the Clean Vehicles Directive), after an evaluation showed that the
directive had yielded limited results. The proposed directive aims to promote clean mobility solutions in public
procurement tenders and thereby raise the demand for, and the further deployment of, clean vehicles. The proposal
provides a definition for clean light-duty vehicles based on a combined CO2 and air-pollutant emissions threshold; for
heavy-duty vehicles, it gives a definition based on alternative fuels. The proposal is in line with the European
Commission's energy union package, which plans action on the further decarbonisation of road transport in line with
the 2030 climate and energy targets. The proposal was referred to the European Parliament's Committee on
Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI). A trilogue agreement was reached on 11 February 2019. The
Parliament adopted the text in the April II 2019 plenary session and the Council on 13 June. The Directive was
published in the Official Journal on 12 July 2019. Member States must transpose it into national law by 2 August 2021.

Résumé The European Commission has proposed to amend Directive 2004/37/EC by expanding its scope and by including
and/or revising occupational exposure limit values for a number of cancer- or mutation-causing substances. The
initiative is proceeding in steps. The first proposal of May 2016 covered 13 priority chemical agents, the second, of
January 2017, a further seven. The current (third) proposal addresses an additional five. Broad discussions with
scientists and the social partners fed into all three proposals. Reacting to the Commission's set of measures as a
whole, trade unions have acknowledged the importance of further improving the existing framework. Actors on the
employers' side have underlined the need to ensure that values are proportionate and feasible in terms of technical
implementation. After adoption by the Parliament and Council, in March and May respectively, based on a text agreed
in trilogue in January 2019, the final act was signed by the presidents of the co-legislators on 5 June 2019. Directive
(EU) 2019/983 entered into force on 10 July 2019 and is to be transposed into national law within two years, by 11 July

Résumé Europe's population is ageing, due to people living longer and having fewer children, putting pressure on pension
systems and leading to reforms to make public pensions more sustainable – and often less generous – in future. To
support retirement incomes, the European Commission's 2012 pensions white paper called for more opportunities for
citizens to save in safe and good-value complementary pensions. The aim of the proposed framework for a pan-
European personal pension product (PEPP) was to encourage the development of personal (voluntary, individually
funded) pensions in Europe, to support retirement saving and strengthen the single market for capital by making more
funds available for investment. Generally the proposal was considered a welcome extra option to support retirement
savings and investment. However differing national pension systems and tax treatments were noted as challenges,
although the Commission also issued an accompanying tax recommendation. Following trilogue negotiations, an
agreement was reached on the legislative proposal. It was subsequently approved by the Parliament on 4 April 2019
and by the Council on 14 June 2019. The final act was signed on 20 June 2019. Third edition of a briefing originally

Résumé In September 2017, the Commission adopted a cybersecurity package with new initiatives to further improve EU cyber-
resilience, deterrence and defence. As part of these, the Commission tabled a legislative proposal to strengthen the
EU Agency for Network Information Security (ENISA). Following the adoption of the Network Information Security
Directive in 2016, ENISA is expected to play a broader role in the EU's cybersecurity landscape but is constrained by
its current mandate and resources. The Commission presented an ambitious reform proposal, including a permanent
mandate for the agency, to ensure that ENISA can not only provide expert advice, as has been the case until now, but
can also perform operational tasks. The proposal also envisaged the creation of the first voluntary EU cybersecurity
certification framework for ICT products, where ENISA will also play an important role. Within the European
Parliament, the Industry, Research and Energy Committee adopted its report on 10 July 2018. An agreement was
reached with the Council during the fifth trilogue meeting, on 10 December 2018. The text was adopted by the
European Parliament on 12 March and by the Council on 9 April 2019. The new regulation came into force on 27 June
2019. Fourth edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative

Résumé Until now, with the exception of two specific measures for Iraq and Syria, there has been no EU legislation covering the
import of cultural goods from non-EU countries entering the EU. By ensuring that these imports are subject to uniform
controls along all EU external borders, the new regulation aims to prevent the introduction, import and storage in the
EU of cultural goods illegally removed from a third country, thereby protecting cultural heritage and combatting illegal
trade, in particular where it may serve as an income source for terrorist groups. Both Parliament and Council agreed
positions on the Commission’ proposal in autumn 2018, and reached an agreement in trilogue negotiations in
December that year. Adopted by both institutions in spring 2019, the new regulation lays down the conditions for the
introduction, as well as the conditions and procedures for the import, of cultural goods from third countries. The
regulation does not apply to cultural goods that have been created or discovered in the EU. To focus the measures
established by the regulation on the goods considered most at risk of pillage in conflict areas and to avoid a
disproportionate burden for licit trade, the new legislative act introduces age and value thresholds for certain goods
categories. The regulation will apply at the latest six years after it comes into force, i.e. from June 2025. Third edition.

proposal which would update the tool and replace the existing regulation on the European Citizens' Initiative. Following
interinstitutional negotiations between September and December 2018, the co-legislators reached provisional
agreement on the proposal for revision of the ECI. The agreed text was approved by the Parliament and Council in

Résumé In November 2017, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a regulation on reducing CO2 emissions from
new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (vans). The proposed measures and targets are aligned with the
2030 climate and energy framework and with the energy union strategy, which envisages a reduction in transport
emissions and energy consumption. The Commission sets new targets for the EU fleetwide average CO2 emissions of
new passenger cars and vans. Average CO2 emissions from new passenger cars and vans registered in the EU would
have to be 15 % lower in 2025, and 30 % lower in 2030, compared to their respective limits in 2021. The proposal
includes a dedicated incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles, in order to accelerate their market
uptake. Interinstitutional trilogue negotiations concluded in December with an agreement setting a 37.5 % CO2
reduction target for new cars by 2030, and a 31 % target for new vans. Parliament approved the agreed text on 27
March 2019. The regulation was published in the Official Journal on 25 April 2019. It entered into force on 15 May

deal with possible unfair commercial practices in international aviation, and announced the revision of existing rules in
this field. On 8 June 2017, the Commission adopted a legislative proposal for a regulation on safeguarding competition
in air transport. The objective of the proposal is to provide effective legislation in order ‘to maintain conditions
conducive to a high level of Union connectivity and to ensure fair competition with third countries’ air carriers’.
Parliament and Council reached agreement on the text in November 2018. The text was formally adopted by

Résumé On 13 September 2017, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a regulation establishing a framework for
screening foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into the EU on grounds of security or public order. The proposal was
a response to a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex investment landscape. It aimed to strike a balance between
maintaining the EU's general openness to FDI inflows and ensuring that the EU's essential interests are not
undermined. Recent FDI trends and policies of emerging FDI providers had cast doubt on the effectiveness of the
decentralised and fragmented system of FDI screening – in use in only some EU Member States – to adequately
address the potential (cross-border) impact of FDI inflows on security or public order without EU coordinated
cooperation among all EU Member States. The proposal's objective was neither to harmonise the formal FDI screening
mechanisms then used by almost half of the Member States, nor to replace them with a single EU mechanism.
Instead, it aimed to enhance cooperation and information-sharing on FDI screening between the Commission and
Member States, and to increase legal certainty and transparency. The European Parliament's Committee on
International Trade (INTA) and the Council adopted their positions in May and June 2018 respectively, and
interinstitutional negotiations concluded in November 2018 with a provisional text. That was first endorsed by the
Member States' Permanent Representatives (Coreper) and by INTA in December 2018. After the text's adoption by the
European Parliament and the Council in February and March 2019 respectively, it entered into force on 10 April 2019,
and will apply from 11 October 2020, 18 months later. Fourth edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings are

Résumé Resettlement is one tool to help displaced persons in need of protection reach Europe safely and legally, and receive
protection for as long as necessary. It is a durable solution which includes selection and transfer of refugees from a
country where they seek protection to another country. Apart from providing international protection to refugees, its aim
is also to strengthen solidarity and responsibility-sharing between countries. For a resettlement to take place, the
United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has to determine an applicant is a refugee according to the 1951 Geneva
Convention, and has to identify resettlement as the most appropriate solution. On 13 July 2016, as part of the reform of
the Common European Asylum System and the long-term policy on better migration management, the Commission
presented a proposal which aims to provide for a permanent framework with standard common procedures for
resettlement across the EU, and will complement current national and multilateral resettlement initiatives. Although a
partial provisional agreement on the proposal was reached between the Parliament and Council in summer 2018, the
Council has been unable to endorse that, nor agree on a mandate for further negotiations.

Résumé States must treat asylum-seekers and refugees according to the appropriate standards laid down in human rights and
refugee law. The current migration crisis revealed wide divergences in the level of reception conditions provided by
Member States. While some are facing problems in ensuring adequate and dignified treatment of applicants, in others
the standards of reception provided are more generous. This has led to secondary movements of asylum-seekers and
refugees, and has put pressure on certain Member States. The aim of the proposed recast directive, which would
replace the current Reception Conditions Directive, is to ensure greater harmonisation of reception standards and
more equal treatment of asylum-seekers across all Member States, as well as to avoid ‘asylum shopping’ whereby
asylum-seekers choose the Member State with the highest protection standards for their application. Although the co-
legislators reached provisional agreement on the proposal in trilogue, Coreper was not able to confirm the Council’s
support for that text and trilogue negotiations have yet to restart. Fourth edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’

Résumé EU rules on the use of goods vehicles hired without drivers have been in operation for over 25 years without change
and need to be reviewed to correspond to current and future needs in the transport sector. As part of the 2017 road
transport mobility package, the European Commission proposed to soften the existing restrictions on using hired
vehicles in international transport and establish a uniform regulatory framework, which would give transport operators
across the EU equal access to the market for hired goods vehicles. The Parliament’s Committee on Transport and
Tourism voted its report on 24 May 2018. Council, concerned with the possible erosion of tax revenues from vehicle
registration and enforcement issues, could not endorse a general approach proposed by the Bulgarian Presidency in
June 2018. With no progress on the file since, Parliament adopted its position at first reading on 15 January 2019. It
will thus be for the TRAN committee in the next parliamentary term to take up the file. Third edition. The ‘EU
Legislation in Progress’ briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.

Résumé Since 2003, national competition authorities (NCAs) have boosted the enforcement of EU competition and antitrust
rules significantly. However, each year losses of €181-320 billion accrue because of undiscovered cartels, which
increase prices by between 17 % and 30 % on average. In March 2017, the Commission proposed a new directive to
ensure that all NCAs have effective investigation and decision-making tools, could impose deterrent fines, and have
well-designed leniency programmes and enough resources to enforce EU competition rules independently. On 30 May
2018, Parliament and Council reached an agreement on the proposal in trilogue. It increases the independence,
resources and powers of NCAs and envisages more harmonisation of the national leniency programmes and reduced
burdens on undertakings. Parliament adopted the text on 14 November 2018, the final act was signed on 11 December
2018. Third edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative

Résumé 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

Résumé 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’

Résumé European telecom rules were last updated in 2009. To make them fit for the digital era the Commission proposed a
new Electronic Communications Code in September 2016. The provisional agreement reached in June 2018 was
adopted by the Parliament and then by the Council in November 2018. Member States have until 21 December 2020
to transpose the new directive into national legislation. The new rules include measures to stimulate investment in and
take-up of very high capacity networks in the EU as well as new spectrum rules for mobile connectivity and 5G. The
Code also ensures that all citizens have access to affordable communication, including the internet. It increases
consumer protection and security for users and facilitates regulatory intervention. Furthermore, it introduces a 'reverse
112 system' which would alert citizens by text message in case of imminent serious emergencies or disasters (from
June 2022). During negotiations the Parliament secured for citizens cheaper caps for intra-EU calls and SMS from 15
May 2019. Fourth edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings are updated at key stages throughout the

Résumé 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.

strengthen the mandate of eu-LISA, as part of a broader set of measures aimed at addressing current migration and
security challenges by making better use of information technologies. Adopted by parliament and Council in autumn
2018, the Agency’s new tasks, applicable from 11 December 2018, include ensuring interoperability of EU information
systems, upgrade of existing and development of future systems and technical and operational support to Member
States. Second edition of a briefing originally drafted by Costica Dumbrava. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings

Résumé The Commission launched the European Solidarity Corps in a December 2016 communication, and the present
proposal for a regulation would set its legal basis, define the budgetary and implementation arrangements, specify
objectives and define key terms. The Corps would have a volunteering strand on the one hand and a smaller
occupational strand (traineeships and jobs) on the other. All placements focus on solidarity actions and will last
between 2 to 12 months. The proposal set a target of 100 000 participants, with a proposed budget of €341.5 million,
for the 2018-2020 period. In its resolution on the issue in April 2017, the European Parliament had insisted that the
initiative should not drain other programmes. Notwithstanding that, the Commission proposed that only 25 % of the
budget would be new money. Parliament reiterated its position in its resolution of July 2017 and again in the report
adopted by the CULT committee ahead of trilogue negotiations. Council, however, came to the negotiating table
seeking a budget that was totally dependent on redeployments. Finally, the European Parliament negotiators managed
to secure €76 million (20 %) fresh money, complemented by a redistribution that favours volunteering more strongly,
and the inclusion of safeguards to avoid exploitation for profit-making purposes. The new regulation entered into force
on 5 October 2018. Third edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings are updated at key stages throughout the

Résumé In the context of the comprehensive reform of the EU's legal framework for data protection, the Commission tabled a
proposal in January 2017 for a 'regulation on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal
data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and the free movement of such data' and repealing the
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
between the co-legislators in May. The compromise text is due to be voted by the Parliament in the September plenary
session. Third edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative

Résumé In the EU, professions are regulated at either Union or Member State level. In the latter case, qualification
requirements can differ widely between Member States, due to their respective historical development and experience.
This can lead to a lack of clarity on the criteria used, and result in fragmentation of the single market. The proposed
directive on a proportionality test before adoption of new regulation of professions, tabled by the European
Commission, sought to harmonise the way in which proportionality tests are carried out before Member States
introduce new regulation on professions. The new directive will supplement provisions of Directive 2005/36/EC on the
recognition of professional qualifications, last amended by Directive 2013/55/EU. The European Parliament proposed a
specific status for healthcare services, and explicitly addressed gold-plating practices (unnecessary national
requirements). A text was agreed between Parliament and Council in trilogue in March, which was voted in the
Parliament plenary on 14 June 2018 and adopted by the Council on 21 June 2018. The final act was signed on 28
June 2018. Member States have until 30 July 2020 to bring into force the laws and administrative provisions necessary
to comply with the directive. Third edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings are updated at key stages
throughout the legislative procedure.
