The Development of an Institutional Framework for the Implementation of the Association Agreements in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine: a comparative perspective Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 19-09-2018 Autor externo Kataryna WOLCZUK, Professor of East European Politics, University of Birmingham and Associate Fellow, Russia and Eurasia Programme, Chatham House, United Kingdom Ámbito político Asuntos exteriores | Comercio internacional | Democracia | Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario | Derecho de la UE: sistema jurídico y actos legislativos | Transposición y aplicación de la legislación Palabra clave acervo comunitario | Acuerdo de Asociación (UE) | ajuste estructural | competencias del Parlamento | cooperación técnica | corrupción | Georgia | independencia de la justicia | Moldavia | Parlamento nacional | reforma institucional | reforma judicial | reforma política | situación política | Ucrania Resumen In recent years the EU concluded Association Agreements, including the creation of a Comprehensive Free Trade Areas with Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. These are amongst the most complex and comprehensive legal treaties concluded by the EU with third countries. The treaties place a profound obligation on the partner countries of legal approximation, that is, to undertake extensive, binding commitments to adopt vast swathes of the acquis in order to stimulate political and economic development and institutional modernisation. This study shows that creating the institutional framework for implementation is a challenging and drawn-out process. While all countries have made some progress with devising these mechanisms, they are short of the necessary political leadership, policy planning, administrative capacity and there is a dearth of budgetary planning to enable effective implementation. There is also a notable need to embed implementation into wider reform strategies. While these issues are being addressed on the part of the countries, the EU can assist them by providing the necessary systemic support in an integrated, sequenced and long-term way. Estudio EN The Visegrad Group and the rule of law [What Think Tanks are thinking] Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 08-05-2018 Autor CESLUK-GRAJEWSKI Marcin Ámbito político Democracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario Palabra clave acervo comunitario | armonización fiscal | Chequia | Ecofin | Eslovaquia | Estado de Derecho | grupo de reflexión | Hungría | Polonia Resumen Political developments in the Visegrád Group countries have raised concern over the commitment of some of their leaders and senior politicians to European Union values, notably the rule of law. The Visegrád Group is an informal alliance of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, all of which joined the EU in 2004. Criticism by EU officials and some other Union governments centres on Hungary and Poland, where governments have implemented a number of controversial reforms, notably of the judiciary. In December 2017, the European Commission triggered the first phase of Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, which can ultimately deprive a country found guilty of violating EU values of voting rights. In addition, a European Parliament draft report notes a deterioration of the rule of law in Hungary, where Prime Minister Viktor Orbán won a third term in office in the country’s recent general election. This note offers links to recent commentaries, studies and reports from major international think tanks on the Visegrád Group, its internal relations and its role within the EU, with the focus on the rule of law debate. Briefing EN Integration of refugees in Greece, Hungary and Italy: Comparative Analysis Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 31-01-2018 Autor KRAATZ Susanne Autor externo Manuela SAMEK LODOVICI (project leader), IRS- Istituto per la Ricerca Sociale Serena Marianna DRUFUCA, IRS- Istituto per la Ricerca Sociale Nicola ORLANDO, IRS- Istituto per la Ricerca Sociale Ámbito político Empleo | Politica social Palabra clave acervo comunitario | asilo político | corriente migratoria | estadística de la UE | Grecia | Hungría | integración de los migrantes | integración social | Italia | política migratoria de la UE | refugiado Resumen This study presents a comparative overview of recent policy developments in Greece, Hungary and Italy, which present some similarities as regards their position in the migration routes, but also very different approaches. The focus of the analysis is on progress achieved in the last three years in the adaptation of the reception and integration system for the high numbers of new arrivals and on the main challenges encountered, with a focus on labour market integration measures. Further, special attention is given to changes in perceptions, public opinion and political discourse with respect to the asylum and integration of refugees and how this influenced policy strategies.

The Enlargement of the Union Tipo de publicación Fichas temáticas sobre la EU Fecha 01-09-2017 Autor DE MUNTER André Ámbito político Asuntos exteriores Palabra clave acervo comunitario | Balcanes Occidentales | criterio de adhesión | Croacia | democracia | economía de mercado | estrategia de preadhesión | integración europea | Islandia | negociación de adhesión | Turquía Resumen On 1 July 2013, Croatia became the 28th Member State of the European Union. Croatia’s accession, which followed that of Romania and Bulgaria on 1 January 2007, marked the sixth enlargement. Negotiations are being conducted with Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey. Albania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are also candidate countries, while Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo are potential candidate countries.

These models should be compared with a respect to a number of different parameters, which are not confined to substantive trade rules but include also questions of legal effect and dispute settlement. •There are very substantial differences between, on the one hand, the EU Membership and EEA models; and on the other the WTO/FTA models. Those differences are focused on the approach to regulatory convergence and to the legal effects of the agreements and their enforcement. Briefing EN Proceedings of the Workshop on the consequences of Brexit Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 15-06-2017 Autor externo Anna CITARELLA, European Research Centre for Economic and Financial Governance ; Menelaos MARKAKIS, European Research Centre for Economic and Financial Governance Ámbito político Adopción de legislación por el PE y el Consejo | Derecho de la UE: sistema jurídico y actos legislativos | Evaluación de la legislación y las políticas en la práctica | Mercado interior y unión aduanera | Planificación prospectiva | Protección de los consumidores Palabra clave acervo comunitario | acuerdo comercial (UE) | comercio internacional | competencia institucional (UE) | interdependencia económica | mercado único | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | Parlamento Europeo | protección del consumidor | referéndum | Reino Unido | retirada de la UE | tratados europeos | unión aduanera Resumen The workshop organised for the IMCO Committee by the Policy Department A in cooperation with the European Research Centre for Economic and Financial Governance (EURO-CEFG) of the Universities of Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam aimed at discussing the consequences of Brexit on the EU in general and on the policy fields covered by the IMCO Committee in particular. It allowed for a first exchange of opinion on the consequences of Brexit and for questions by EU decision-makers in preparation of the upcoming negotiations.

Consequences of Brexit in the Area of Consumer Protection Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 15-06-2017 Autor externo Dr. Malte KRAMME, Research Centre for Consumer Law, University of Bayreuth Ámbito político Adopción de legislación por el PE y el Consejo | Derecho de la UE: sistema jurídico y actos legislativos | Evaluación de la legislación y las políticas en la práctica | Mercado interior y unión aduanera | Planificación prospectiva | Protección de los consumidores Palabra clave acervo comunitario | comercio internacional | cooperación judicial | cooperación judicial civil en la Unión Europea | Derecho derivado | Espacio Económico Europeo | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | Organización Mundial del Comercio | periodo transitorio (UE) | protección del consumidor | Reino Unido | relación comercial | retirada de la UE | tratados europeos Resumen TThis paper outlines the consequences of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union in the area of consumer protection. It examines the withdrawal’s impact on consumer protection under different scenarios: a futire EEA membership of the UK (a); a relationship governed only by WTO rules; (c) a relationship governed by a “tailor- made agreement”. It comes to the conclusion that from the perspective of consumers in the EU28, an EEA membership of the UK is the most favourable scenario. Irrespective of the scenario, adequate transitory provisions taking into consideration the “two-step” negotiating schedule are necessary to resolve legal uncertainties occurring irrespective of the scenario. This document was prepared for Policy Department A at the request of the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection. Estudio EN FYR Macedonia: 2016 report Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 30-03-2017 Autor LILYANOVA Velina Ámbito político Asuntos exteriores Palabra clave acervo comunitario | ayuda de preadhesión | democratización | estrategia de preadhesión | Macedonia del Norte | reforma judicial Resumen In April 2017, the European Parliament is due to debate a resolution on the European Commission's 2016 enlargement report on the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The report acknowledges that during a politically turbulent 2016, the country failed to progress in key EU-related reform areas and even backtracked in some. Following the December 2016 elections, political uncertainty remains and the EU is urging prompt formation of a new government, a process currently blocked. De un vistazo EN Understanding social dumping in the European Union Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 21-03-2017 Autor KISS Monika Ámbito político Empleo | Mercado interior y unión aduanera | Politica social Palabra clave acervo comunitario | Derecho del trabajo | dumping social | Estado miembro UE | libre circulación de trabajadores | libre prestación de servicios Resumen Although a recurring term in discussions related to working mobility, wages and the social security of workers, social dumping has neither a generally accepted definition, nor easily definable limits. It is rather a set of practices on an international, national or inter-corporate level, aimed at gaining an advantage over competitors, which could have important negative consequences on economic processes and workers’ social security. Examples include actions taken by actors from 'low wage' Member States to gain market advantage over actors from Member States with higher pay and social standards; multinational companies from 'high wage' countries searching for ways to avoid legal constraints by employing subcontractors from low-wage countries; and companies engaging cheaper and more vulnerable temporary and agency workers, or relocating production to lower wage and less regulated locations. Social dumping takes different forms in different sectors. Suppressing social dumping is a component of different regulations on working mobility, undeclared work, and the status of transport workers. However, as the legislative competence of the European Union is limited in the labour law domain, soft law and social dialogue are also used to tackle the phenomenon. Several cases before the Court of Justice of the EU (such as the Viking and the Laval cases) show that the applicable EU rules can only be effective if adequate implementation and enforcement by the Member States is guaranteed. In September 2016, the European Parliament adopted an own-initiative resolution on social dumping, calling for a number of actions to reinforce controls, close regulatory gaps, revise working conditions and promote social convergence.

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Developments in 2016 Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 07-02-2017 Autor LILYANOVA Velina Ámbito político Asuntos exteriores Palabra clave acervo comunitario | Bosnia y Herzegovina | democratización | Fondo Monetario Internacional | libertad de expresión | reforma judicial | relación bilateral Resumen In 2016, Bosnia and Herzegovina completed several formal requirements necessary for obtaining EU candidate status. However, other developments exposed the country's ongoing political and ethnic rifts, and the need for thorough reforms and enhanced cooperation among all levels of government. De un vistazo EN European Pillar of Social Rights Tipo de publicaciónDe un vistazo Fecha 11-01-2017 AutorMILOTAY Nora Ámbito políticoAsuntos económicos y monetarios | Empleo | Politica social Palabra claveacervo comunitario | condición de trabajo | derechos sociales | diálogo social (UE) | Estado miembro UE | flexibilidad del trabajo | iniciativa de la UE | pacto de estabilidad | política económica | política social europea | zona euro Resumen The European Union (EU) Member States have defined common social rights and minimum standards in a wide range of labour market-related areas, and have committed to promoting employment and social progress. However, economic and social inequalities are still on the rise. The European Commission's plan for a European Pillar of Social Rights calls for two main actions: modernising existing legislation to better fit the present reality of the world of work and societal patterns, and developing employment and social benchmarks in order to foster upward convergence in the euro area and potentially beyond. Parliament is due to consider an own-initiative report on the subject at its January 2017 plenary session. De un vistazo EN, IT The 1995 enlargement of the European Union: The accession of Finland and Sweden Tipo de publicaciónEstudio Fecha 04-11-2015 Ámbito políticoDemocracia en la UE, Derecho institucional y parlamentario Palabra claveacervo comunitario | adhesión a la Unión Europea | AELC | Consejo Nórdico | Espacio Económico Europeo | Finlandia | historia de Europa | neutralidad | Noruega | soberanía nacional | Suecia | Tratado de la Unión Europea Resumen This year, Finland and Sweden, like Austria, celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their accession to the European Union. This historical study focuses specifically on the entry into the Union of the first two countries. Distinct economic and social policies, as well as issues of neutrality during the Cold War, had kept the two Nordic countries from developing closer relations with the European Community. However, economic and geopolitical changes allowed this situation to evolve into a deeper and mutually beneficial relationship. This is the latest study in the European Union History Series, which is primarily based on documents preserved in and made available to the public by the Historical Archives of the Parliament and the archives of other EU institutions. Estudio (epub) EN Estudio EN Energy Community: Prospects and challenges Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 08-10-2015 Autor WILSON Alex Benjamin Ámbito político Energía Palabra clave acervo comunitario | ampliación de una organización internacional | Balcanes Occidentales | cooperación energética | Derecho de la energía | estructura institucional | Kosovo | mercado de la energía | Moldavia | red de energía | reforma institucional | seguridad de abastecimiento | toma de decisiones | transposición de la legislación comunitaria | Ucrania Resumen The Energy Community Treaty (ECT) was signed in 2005. Its principal objective is to expand the EU internal energy market to neighbouring countries ('Contracting States') that are willing to adopt the EU energy acquis. The Energy Community (EnC) includes a permanent secretariat based in Vienna and a set of decision-making institutions. The Ministerial Council meets annually and makes all key strategic decisions. Detailed preparatory work is carried out by the Permanent High-Level Group, which meets more frequently. The EnC Secretariat is responsible for monitoring, assisting and enforcing implementation of the energy acquis in the Contracting States. The EU institutions strongly support the objectives of the Energy Community (EnC), and the European Commission plays a lead role in its decision-making processes. Yet shortcomings have been identified in the way that EnC institutions currently operate, with weak implementation of the energy acquis among several Contracting States and inadequate tools for enforcement. Questions have also been raised about the potential membership of the EnC, whether it should be widened and made more flexible. A high-level group was commissioned to look into improving the governance structures of the EnC and delivered its report in May 2014; this was followed by a detailed stakeholder consultation in early 2015. Some decisions on the functioning of the EnC may be taken at the next Ministerial Council in Tirana on 16 October 2015. Briefing EN 06-01-2022 Fuente : © Unión Europea, 2022 - PE 4
Adopting the euro: Convergence criteria and state of play Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 17-07-2015 Autor SZCZEPANSKI Marcin Ámbito político Asuntos económicos y monetarios Palabra clave acervo comunitario | criterio de convergencia | mecanismo de cambio SME | opinión pública | pacto de estabilidad | país no participante | política monetaria única | Sistema Europeo de Bancos Centrales | tercera fase de la UEM Resumen Adopting the single currency is the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Even though all Member States participate in EMU, not all of them use the euro: the United Kingdom and Denmark have opted out, while Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Sweden are yet to adopt it, being formally obliged to do so under the Maastricht Treaty. Before this happens, they need to fulfil the convergence criteria of price stability, soundness and sustainability of public finances, durability of convergence and exchange rate stability. Furthermore, they must align their national legislation with the EU acquis on national central banks. Many argue that during the euro's founding phase the convergence criteria were relaxed in order to enable a wide take-up of the currency. This however is no longer the case, as the Member States which have joined since the euro came into use have had to fulfil the criteria stringently. Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Sweden fulfil all but one criterion (exchange rate stability) and in fact none of the seven countries have decided to join the relevant currency-pegging mechanism. Furthermore, none except Croatia have made their central bank legislation compatible with the euro area. Public opinion in these countries is divided: a majority in Romania, Hungary, Croatia and Bulgaria is in favour of adopting the euro, while in the other countries most people would vote against it. However, only 18% of all respondents want the single currency to be introduced as soon as possible. Reportedly, most of the non-euro-area Member States cannot be expected to join the euro before 2020. Briefing EN Third-country migration and European labour markets: Integrating foreigners Tipo de publicación Briefing Fecha 16-07-2015 Autor POPTCHEVA Eva-Maria Alexandrova | STUCHLIK Andrej Ámbito político Empleo | Espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia Palabra clave acervo comunitario | derecho de residencia | desempleo de los trabajadores migrantes | escasez de mano de obra | estadística del empleo | inserción profesional | integración de los migrantes | migración profesional | permiso de trabajo | política migratoria de la UE | trabajador de temporada | trabajador migrante Resumen The EU faces long-term economic challenges. Its population is ageing, and its economy is increasingly dependent on jobs requiring high levels of skills. Therefore, during the last ten years, the EU has come to consider managed migration as an increasingly important way to provide European economies with the talent they need. Managing legal migration and integrating third-country nationals has significantly evolved in that time, following a sectoral approach. Several new legal instruments have been introduced – most importantly, the Single Permit and the Blue Card Directive, in 2011 and 2009 respectively – in order to facilitate permanent residence and assist in attracting highly skilled workers. The European Union's 'Stockholm Programme' of 2009, and the Commission's 'European Agenda for the Integration of Third-country nationals' of 2011, both pointed to the most crucial element in the successful integration of migrants being their participation in the labour market. Since then, the situation has improved in only a few Member States. Recent data confirm the persistent disadvantages for third-country nationals manifested in their employment and unemployment rates. Briefing EN Turkey 2014: Work in progress Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 11-05-2015 Autor BENTZEN Naja Ámbito político Asuntos exteriores Palabra clave acervo comunitario | adhesión a la Unión Europea | Chipre | corrupción | cuestión armenia | cuestión de Kurdistán | democratización | elecciones nacionales | independencia de la justicia | política de comunicación | política de información | Turquía Resumen 2014 got off to a seemingly good start: then Prime Minister, and current President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared it the 'Year of the European Union', demonstrating Ankara's commitment to its EU path. However, several challenges strained Turkey's ties to the EU over the course of the year. Accordingly, the Commission's 2014 progress report highlights various political concerns.

Freedom of Media in the Western Balkans Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 22-10-2014 Autor externo Elda BROGI, Alina DOBREVA and Pier Luigi PARCU Ámbito político Derechos humanos | Evaluación de la legislación y las políticas en la práctica | Planificación prospectiva Palabra clave acervo comunitario | Albania | ampliación de la UE | Bosnia y Herzegovina | Consejo de Europa | cooperación regional | instrumento financiero de la UE | Kosovo | libertad de información | Macedonia del Norte | medio de comunicación de masas | Montenegro | OSCE | pluralismo de los medios de comunicación | política de la UE | profesión de la comunicación | protección de las libertades | Serbia Resumen The study analyses media freedom and pluralism in the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia) in light of the EU enlargement policy. Despite the different stages of their EU accession paths, these countries share similar challenges, even if they are of different intensities. The study analyses the overall legal framework and its unsatisfactory levels of implementation, the role and the independence of PSB, the media market, and the status of journalists. It also outlines country-specific profiles, regarding these categories. The paper outlines and analyses the current EU policies and financial instruments to foster media freedom and media pluralism in the region, including the Stabilisation and Association Process and specific acquis. It also analyses the issues in the context of the EU ‘internal’ and ‘external’ policy on media freedom and media pluralism. The study outlines the complementary roles of the CoE and the OSCE as setting common standards on media freedom in Europe and the EU institutions as being the main engine and guarantor for their implementation. Finally, the recommendations point towards the EU establishing a more long-term, integrated and comprehensive strategy of external help, monitoring and capacity building, as well as further co-ordination with the CoE and OSCE. Estudio EN The Cost of Non-Europe in the Single Market. Part II - Single Market for Services Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 24-09-2014 Ámbito político Asuntos económicos y monetarios | Asuntos financieros y bancarios | Empleo | Mercado interior y unión aduanera | Politica social | Transporte | Valor añadido europeo Palabra clave acceso al mercado | acervo comunitario | análisis de coste-beneficio | comercio electrónico | contrato de servicios | estudio de impacto | industria de servicios | industria del gas | industria eléctrica | juego | libre prestación de servicios | mercado del transporte | red transeuropea | servicios financieros Resumen Cost of Non-Europe Reports identify the possibilities for economic or other gains and/or the realisation of a ‘public good’ through common action at EU level in specific policy areas and sectors. This Cost of Non-Europe Report seeks to analyse the costs for citizens, businesses and relevant stake-holders of remaining gaps and barriers in the European Single Market, building on and updating the 1988 Cecchini Report, which quantified its potential benefits. This particular study - the second in a series - attempts to take stock of the remaining gaps or deficits in intra-EU market access obligations in services, and the related deficits in the proper functioning of the internal market for services. It also tries to identify the quantitative and qualitative economic gains of overcoming the costs of non-Europe of the remaining fragmentation, insofar as the EU can address such deficits. Estudio EN Bosnia & Herzegovina: continuing standstill Tipo de publicación De un vistazo Fecha 30-01-2014 Autor LECARTE Jacques Ámbito político Asuntos exteriores Palabra clave acervo comunitario | acuerdo de estabilización y asociación | Acuerdo Interino (UE) | adhesión a la Unión Europea | Bosnia y Herzegovina | discriminación étnica | integración europea | política gubernamental | Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos Resumen Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) made very limited progress towards EU membership in 2013. The lack of measures to address discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, and thus implement the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights is preventing BiH from moving closer to the EU.

Legal Implications of the EU-US Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) for the Acquis Communautaire and the ENVI Relevant Sectors that Could be Addressed During Negotiations Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 15-10-2013 Autor externo Christiane Gerstetter (Ecologic institute), Michael Mehling (Ecologic Institute), Andrew Eberle (Ecologic Institute) and Katherine Salès (BIO Intelligence Service) Ámbito político Comercio internacional | Medio ambiente | Seguridad alimentaria Palabra clave acervo comunitario | aviación civil | Estados Unidos | inversión en el extranjero | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | organismo genéticamente modificado | protección del consumidor | protección del medio ambiente | seguridad de los alimentos | sustancia tóxica Resumen This study discusses the potential impact of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership agreement on the EU acquis in the areas of the environment and food safety. It recommends, in particular, that the European Parliament pay very close attention to the precise wording of provisions regarding the environment, food safety, and investment set out in the final text to ensure that both parties are able to maintain the environmental and consumer protection standards they deem appropriate, as provided for in the European Commission’s negotiating mandate. Estudio EN Approximation of the National Legislation of Eastern Partnership Countries with EU Legislation in the Economic Field Tipo de publicación Análisis en profundidad Fecha 03-05-2013 Autor externo Laure DELCOUR (IRIS) and Kataryna WOLCZUK (Centre for Russian and East European Studies, University of Birmingham) Ámbito político Asuntos económicos y monetarios | Asuntos exteriores | Derecho de la UE: sistema jurídico y actos legislativos | Seguridad alimentaria Palabra clave acervo comunitario | aproximación de legislaciones | Belarús | convergencia económica | Derecho de la competencia | legislación fitosanitaria | Moldavia | país del Cáucaso | seguridad de los alimentos | Ucrania | zona de libre comercio Resumen With the launch of the Eastern Partnership in 2009, the EU stepped up its involvement in Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus. The offer of a closer relationship with Eastern neighbours is contingent upon partner countries converging with EU norms and standards. Effective regulatory approximation in the economic field is therefore critical to anchoring the reform process in partner countries and to fostering further progress in EU’s relations with its Eastern neighbours. Against this backdrop, this briefing paper reviews the achievements to date in regulatory approximation in the economic field in Eastern Partnership countries. Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTAs) are a vital trade instrument for building up long-term economic relationships with eastern neighbours. They are likely to have a far-reaching influence on the reform process in partner countries. However, legal approximation and implementation of approximated legislation remain key challenges. The briefing highlights five major problems hindering legal approximation in the economic field: the complexity of the acquis to be adopted; institutional coordination; implementation capacities; costs of approximation and political sensitivity in partner countries. The briefing offers recommendations to improve the EU’s approach so that DCFTAs could fulfill their potential. Análisis en profundidad EN Proceedings of the Workshop on "European Energy Community Strategy: Political, Economic and Environmental Challenges in South East Europe" Tipo de publicación Estudio Fecha 12-04-2013 Autor externo Alan RILEY (City Law School, City University, London) and Ana-Maria BOROMISA (Institute for Development and International Relations, Department for International Economic and Political Relations, Croatia) Ámbito político Asuntos exteriores | Energía | Medio ambiente Palabra clave acervo comunitario | Balcanes Occidentales | consulta pública | corrupción | Derecho del medio ambiente | desarrollo sostenible | Estado miembro UE | geopolítica | inversión | política energética | seguridad de abastecimiento | Turquía Resumen While a sustainable energy strategy is needed in South East Europe, such a strategy should pay attention to the specific context of the region (i.e. post-conflict era, recent market liberalisation and corruption). The EU and South-East Europe countries share similar interests (i.e. energy security), yet their perception is to some extent different. For the South East Europe region, national energy security is a priority. EU conditionality (which translates into copy-pasting EU directives) is seen as not very efficient. Key challenges in EU-South East Europe cooperation also include the implementation of approximated legislation at a national level and the prioritisation based on regional criteria. The Energy Community Treaty could be used as a means to change the entire energy sector in the region; however this requires serious supporting policies. In particular, a strong rule of law approach (e.g. flanking measures in respect of antitrust and public procurement) is necessary to develop investments and build new infrastructures in the region.

However even amongst those MS who have succeeded in joining, there have been significant differences in their experiences of the accession process. For current and potential candidate countries, completing the process is likely to prove even more challenging.

Vergano (Fratini Vergano, European Lawyers) Ámbito político Derecho de la propiedad intelectual | Industria | Política de investigación Palabra clave acervo comunitario | APDIC | derecho del individuo | ejecución de sentencia | estudio de impacto | falsificación | falsificación de moneda | innovación | propiedad intelectual | tecnología digital Resumen The ACTA was motivated by a desire to establish equivalent provisions in international trade agreements containing rules on anti-counterfeiting. This is important at a time when free trade agreements are being negotiated by different parties. For the European Union it is also of importance to protect EU intellectual property rights (IPR) as future EU competitiveness depends on its ability to move into higher value added activities such as those for which IPRs are important. At the same time international agreements on IPRs will only be sustainable when they have the support of all parties. Within the EU the ACTA has also been the source of some concerns regarding the non-transparent way it was negotiated and whether it meets to aims agreed by the European Parliament and Commission that it would be compatible with the existing acquis communautaire and the World Trade Organisation’s Trade Related intellectual Property rights (TRIPs) Agreement.

The Consumer Rights Directive and the CFR : Two Worlds Apart ? Tipo de publicación Análisis en profundidad Fecha 16-02-2009 Autor externo Martijn Hesselink (University of Amsterdam, Holland) Ámbito político Derecho contractual, Derecho mercantil y Derecho de sociedades | Protección de los consumidores Palabra clave acervo comunitario | contrato | protección del consumidor Resumen Professor Hesselink presented his conclusions on the occasion of a public hearing organised by the IMCO Committee on 2 March 2009 on "Towards a coherent European contract law: Consumer Rights and the Common Frame of Reference". On 8 October 2008, the European Commission presented a Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on consumer rights (COM (2008)614 final). The proposal is a result of the review of the Consumer acquis which covers a number of Directives on consumer protection. The content of this proposal could overlap with some provisions of the Draft Common Frame of Reference. It is therefore useful to compare the contents of both projects in order to assess possible overlapping and how these two projects could be effectively coordinated in order to avoid fragmentation in European contract law. This briefing note analyses the gap between the DCFR and the consumer rights directive and its implications and aims at demonstrating if there is any linkage between these two instruments. Análisis en profundidad EN Proposal for a Council Directive on Implementing the Principle of Equal Treatment Between Persons Irrespective of Religion or Belief, Disability, Age or Sexual Orientation Tipo de publicación Análisis en profundidad Fecha 15-01-2009 Autor externo Gay Moon (Discrimination Consultant, Harpenden, Herts, UK) Ámbito político Asuntos de género, igualdad y diversidad | Derecho de la UE: sistema jurídico y actos legislativos Palabra clave acervo comunitario | discriminación basada en la orientación sexual | discriminación por motivo de minusvalía | discriminación por motivos de edad | discriminación religiosa | igualdad de trato | jurisprudencia (UE) Resumen This proposed directive will increase the protection from discrimination for age, disability, religion or belief or sexual orientation to the same level as that currently applicable in relation to discrimination on grounds of sex and race. This proposal should lead to a more consistent standard of protection from discrimination across the European Union for all the prohibited grounds of discrimination. In order to achieve the maximum common understanding of the standards for non-discrimination the same terms, definitions and principles as in the existing directives should be used. Where the proposed directive suggests a lesser standard than the existing standards for sex and race this is noted. Provisions on multiple discrimination are needed and consideration should be given to the need to increase legal certainty in greater definition of the material scope of the proposed directive.

Analysis of the 2007 annual action programme for croatia under the pre-accession instrument in preparation of the review of the relevant multi-annual indicative programme Tipo de publicación Análisis en profundidad Fecha 30-07-2008 Autor externo Tom Lynch (coordinating editor and author) and Visnja Samardzija (co-author) Ámbito político Asuntos económicos y monetarios | Asuntos exteriores | Desarrollo y ayuda humanitaria Palabra clave acervo comunitario | ayuda de preadhesión | cohesión económica y social | Croacia | desarrollo económico | Estado de Derecho Resumen Executive summary Croatia has, as a candidate country, access to all five IPA components. The 2007 Annual Action Programme covers solely component I ‘transition assistance and institution building’. The total amount of IPA Component I funding comes to EUR 45.4 Million. The political criteria is allocated EUR 5.6 million, funding under the economic criteria gets EUR 1.77 million, EUR 28.5 million is set aside for the ability to assume the obligations of membership and EUR 9.45 is allocated for supporting programmes. Relating to Good governance and the rule of law, further efforts are required in the fight against corruption and this is, correctly, a primary goal. The lack of explicit targeted funding directed towards the sectoral reforms (judicial and public administration reform) needs to be rectified. Both corruption and the sectoral reforms have a bearing not only on good governance and the rule of law, but also on the general business climate. Explicit EU funding is required for an overall action plan on the implementation of the Constitutional Law on national minorities. Efforts also have to be made to align anti-discrimination policies with EU standards and to develop a comprehensive national strategy and action plan, which will also require pre-accession assistance. There is also no explicit funding directed towards aligning antidiscrimination policies with EU standards and to develop a comprehensive national strategy. This is especially important as the 2007 Progress Report observed that existing legislation “is not being applied vigorously”. Funding also needs to be made available for the development of civil society who can have an important role in this policy area. Overall the parliamentary process has been positive in relation to the implementation of the 2007 Annual Action Programme. Regarding Economic development and social cohesion, the 2007 Annual Action programme only tackles one of the stated Multi-Annual Indicative Programme goals in th Análisis en profundidad EN Analysis of the 2007 annual action programme for the Republic of Montenegro under the pre-accession instrument in preparation of the review of the relevant multi-annual indicative programme Tipo de publicación Análisis en profundidad Fecha 30-07-2008 Autor externo Filip Tesař (coordinating editor and author) and Marcus Delacor (co-author) Ámbito político Asuntos económicos y monetarios | Asuntos exteriores | Desarrollo y ayuda humanitaria Palabra clave acervo comunitario | ayuda de preadhesión | corrupción | criterio de adhesión | desarrollo económico | evaluación de la ayuda | lucha contra el crimen | Montenegro | reforma judicial Resumen Executive summary Scope of the briefing The aim of this paper is to assess Component I of the IPA National Action Programme 2007 for Montenegro with reference to the European Union's (EU) preaccession objectives.
