Several EU countries possess islands and insular territories. Various EU islands constitute world famous tourist destinations as they are home to considerable natural, heritage and cultural wealth. Certain islands also produce renowned agricultural products and handcrafts. However, islands also face considerable challenges. They struggle for adequate transport links with the nearest mainland. Their ecosystems are vulnerable, and natural resources are often scarce. Some of them are small and mountainous. Many are located on the periphery of a Member State, or constitute border regions, placing considerable limitations on their potential for economic growth. Islands are usually too small to allow economies of scale. They may lack human capital and possess limited public resources in health, education, research and innovation. In most cases, islands are not self-sufficient in agricultural and industrial products or tertiary-sector services. They are usually reliant on imported fossil fuels and dependent on mainland energy networks. As most products and services are transported to islands, prices are usually considerably higher, adding to the cost of living in insular territories. In recent years, the EU's southern islands have seen an influx of migrants, whilst lacking the resources needed for their accommodation and integration. However, although the state of insularity creates many problems, various studies suggest that islands can become 'lands of opportunities' by investing in their relative strengths. Solar, sea and wind energy opportunities can be explored to create sustainable energy communities. Tourism, agriculture and fisheries, as well as the high quality of life that many EU islands offer, in combination with the digitalisation of work bring more opportunities for their growth. Recent geopolitical uncertainties have also elevated the strategic role of islands, as many of them are based in strategic locations and host important military bases. The European Commission has declared that it will present in the near future a strategy on islands and coastal territories, as well as an updated strategy on outermost regions, which include insular territories.

On 3 February 2026, the European Commission adopted the first delegated regulation supplementing the Union certification framework for permanent carbon removals, carbon farming and carbon storage in products with its first methodology for certification. Covering permanent carbon removals, the methodology paves the way for three types of removal activities to become EU certified: direct air capture with carbon storage (DACCS); biogenic emissions capture with carbon storage (BioCCS); and biochar carbon removal (BCR). With permanent carbon removals due to play a role in the post-2030 climate policy frameworks, the potential release in late 2026 or 2027 of EU certified carbon removal units is an important step. From the Commission's adoption of the delegated regulation, a two-month period starts, during which the European Parliament and the Council can object to the text. Parliament's Committee on the Environment Climate and Food Safety (ENVI) considered two motions for a resolution to object to the delegated act. Neither were successful. With no objection from the Council, the delegated regulation is awaiting publication in the Official Journal; it will enter into force 20 days after publication. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Obstacles to businesses' cross-border operations and expansion constitute a major hurdle to an effective single market. The International Monetary Fund estimates that persistent barriers to the single market represent the equivalent of a 44 % and 110 % tariff on goods and services, respectively. The Letta report emphasised that a single business code would be a 'game-changer', making all business procedures – from establishment to end of activity – smoother and more transparent. To address this issue, the European Commission published a proposal on 18 March 2026 for a regulation establishing the 28th regime corporate legal framework that introduces a new legal entity, EU Inc. Any company would be able to register in any Member State and opt in to the EU Inc. company form. The framework would allow quick, fully digital registration that is automatically valid across the whole EU, thereby benefiting the operations and expansion of EU Inc. businesses. In addition, the proposal provides for a single tax treatment of employee remuneration through stocks and enables employee participation schemes. It also provides for fast-track termination of solvent companies, and a legal framework for winding up insolvent small and young innovative companies, known as start-ups. Parliament adopted a resolution in January 2026 supporting the approach but remained cautious about its chances of success. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP
