The European Green Deal, aimed at making the EU climate neutral by 2050, outlines a comprehensive approach to sustainability, requiring profound transformation across all industrial sectors. Horizon Europe, the EU's foremost research and innovation programme, can be a critical enabler, providing the necessary funding, framework and innovation pathways to support this transition. Employing a combination of desk research and stakeholder consultations, this study evaluates Horizon Europe's alignment with the Green Deal, focusing specifically on Horizon's impact on European industry. The analysis sheds light on Horizon Europe's role in supporting research with a sustainability focus, and in facilitating industry participation in research projects. It reveals successes and identifies challenges such as administrative complexities, and the need for mechanisms to provide tailored support for small and medium-sized enterprises. The report suggests three policy options to strengthen Horizon Europe's support for industry: enhancing the capabilities of National Contact Points, expanding the 'marketplace' concept for green technologies, and prioritising selected strategic industrial and technological goals within Horizon Europe.

Employers in the EU face labour shortages in many sectors of the economy, a situation that could further deteriorate in the coming decades. In the context of a global race for talent, facilitating international recruitment is a priority for the EU. Announced on 27 April 2022, the European Commission launched an EU talent pool pilot initiative specifically addressed towards workers fleeing the war in Ukraine to facilitate their access to the EU labour market. On 15 November 2023, as part of the talent mobility package, the Commission subsequently published a legislative proposal for a regulation to establish an EU talent pool available to third-country nationals residing in third countries. In the European Parliament (ninth legislative term), the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) was responsible for the file. On 6 February 2024, the LIBE committee's rapporteur presented her draft report. The Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL), Culture and Education (CULT) and Development (DEVE) committees published their opinions on 19 February and 8 and 11 April 2024 respectively. Work will continue during the 10th legislative term. The Council agreed its general approach on 13 June 2024. First edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

The European Sovereignty Fund (EUSF) should invest in Europe’s future by investing indirectly in start-ups and scale-ups via the existing Fund of the European Innovation Council (EIC). This would be concrete step to advance the aims of the recently agreed Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP). The EUSF could also invest in security of supply by acquiring and managing strategic stockpiles of critical raw materials. This would foster the aim of the Critical Raw Material Act. To succeed the management of the EUSF should be strictly independent of political influence. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

The European Council took two important decisions on 27 June for the new institutional cycle: one on the EU's institutional leadership, the other on the EU's political priorities for the next five years. EU leaders elected António Costa as the next European Council President, proposed Ursula von der Leyen as the candidate for Commission President, and nominated Kaja Kallas as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. They also adopted conclusions on Ukraine, the Middle East, security and defence, and competitiveness. Other topics addressed were migration, the Black Sea, Moldova, Georgia, hybrid threats, and the fight against antisemitism, racism and xenophobia. The European Council also agreed on a roadmap for future work on internal reforms. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

The revision of the animal welfare legislation announced by the Commission in May 2020 is a core element of the farm to fork strategy. It includes the revision of Council Regulation (EC) N° 1/2005 on the protection of animals during transport. The aim is to ensure harmonisation of rules for effective enforcement and implementation, the core challenge being to strike a balance between ethical, economic, environmental and social considerations. The transport of billions of animals within and outside the EU has considerable economic benefits, but it also has a major impact on public health, the environment and society, and increasingly triggers public attention around ethical considerations. Various stakeholders and the public demand better implementation of the existing rules, question practices such as the export of live animals, and ask for alternative solutions. This briefing provides an overview of the main issues raised by the application of the current Council Regulation and matters surrounding its revision in light of the Commission's 2022 fitness check on animal welfare legislation and other reports published by European institutions. It highlights, when possible, Member States' positions. In December 2023, the Commission presented its new proposal, with a view to replacing and updating Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005.

This document is part of a series of Comparative Law studies that analyze the freedom to conduct a business in different legal orders around the world. After a brief historic introduction and a presentation of applicable legislation and case law, the content, limits and possible evolution of this freedom are examined. The subject of this study is Canada’s federal legal system. While the freedom to conduct a business is a common law right, it does not possess supralegislative status. Nevertheless, various constitutional rules — including those arising from Canada’s federal structure and from the Charter of Rights — afford a degree of protection to businesses and to business activities. The study notes the pervasive influence of federalism on business regulation in Canada. The rules allocating responsibility between the Parliament and the provinces do not affect only the level of government at which regulatory laws are enacted, but also affect the form and content of those laws.

A European digital product passport (DPP) could enhance textile industry traceability, circularity, and transparency. This study focuses on the possibility to introduce a DPP, framed within the European Union's strategy for sustainable and circular textiles. It examines the potential, needs, benefits, and challenges associated with deploying a DPP for all stakeholders throughout the European textile sector's value chain. A DPP could benefit all actors in this complex value chain, including producers, supply-chain tiers, regulatory authorities, sorters, recyclers, and consumers. To enhance EU textile industry traceability, sustainability and business strategy, identifying where added value can be generated is crucial. This research is grounded in a review of regulatory texts, scientific literature and existing initiatives, and proposes a generic DPP model for the textile sector. Drawing on a survey of over 80 stakeholders, it gathers essential insights and outlines a three-phase deployment scenario with policy options aimed at fostering a circular economy to minimise the sector's overall footprint.

Resolutions are an essential way for the European Parliament to express its views on political processes, EU policies and developments in the world. Parliament also uses them to scrutinise other EU institutions, including the European Council. The need for accountability and increased scrutiny of the European Council has been a constant theme in the European Parliament's resolutions throughout the 2019-2024 legislative term. The increased need to scrutinise the European Council also results from the changing role of the institution over recent years. Based on an analysis of Parliament's resolutions, this briefing will present the need for democratic oversight of the European Council and outline the different tools at Parliament's disposal to do so. It provides a unique overview of the content of Parliament's resolutions addressing the European Council and the messages it sends to EU leaders. Finally, the briefing identifies potential ways of further strengthening Parliament's scrutiny of the European Council. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

Moves towards closer European integration have altered the role of the national parliaments.

The free movement of goods was bolstered by eliminating customs duties as well as other non-tariff barriers. Principles like mutual recognition and standardisation further advanced the internal market. The 2008 New Legislative Framework enhanced the movement of goods, EU market surveillance, and the CE (European Conformity) mark. Yet, challenges on internal market harmonisation remain, as the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors can still hinder the full free movement of goods. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

Fisheries in Europe's marine environment use different types of mobile and static fishing gears that come into contact with the seabed, including mobile bottom-contacting gears (MBCGs) towed through the water and across the seabed. This study explores: the innovative gears that could be deployed as an alternative to the exclusion of bottom trawling in EU marine protected areas (MPAs); the efficacy and feasibility of implementing such innovations; and the environmental and socioeconomic effects on maintaining and restoring biodiversity. The study shows that mitigating the impact on the seabed with innovations will likely not suffice to reach the conservation objectives. Given the lack of voluntary uptake, the most promising innovations would have to be made mandatory. It recommends that MBCGs be excluded from the designated MPAs deemed vulnerable to bottom fishing. So far, innovations for lighter-impacting gears or solutions not affecting catch rates are lacking. This induces a net increase in impact when fishers increase effort to compensate for loss in catch efficiency. Excluding MBCGs likely comes with only a limited displacement effect, which might be larger if future MPA designation were to better match sensitive features needing protection. For now, discontinuing the use of other fishing techniques such as passive gears is not required, as they do not impact MPAs where vulnerable seabeds are found. However, some MPAs will be sensitive to passive gears, and these techniques should be limited there if innovations do not reduce the bycatch of vulnerable species to levels deemed acceptable under the EU common fisheries policy and Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
