This study provides a complementary impact assessment of the proposed Council directive on equal treatment outside of employment on the grounds of religion or belief, disability, age, and sexual orientation. It covers all EU Member States. Moreover, it includes five case studies: Czechia, Germany, Italy, Romania and Sweden. It reviews the necessity of the proposed EU initiative and its added value, considering subsidiarity and proportionality. The study analyses the coherence of the proposed directive with existing and future frameworks and its likely effectiveness in achieving the objectives of increased protection and inclusion, and combating discrimination. It also assesses the proposal's likely costs and benefits. The findings suggest that the proposed directive responds to the need for EU action and complies with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. It is coherent with the existing legal and policy framework and would significantly strengthen fundamental rights and close the protection gap against discrimination. The proposed directive is expected to generate limited costs, mainly relating to reasonable accommodation in education, while delivering significant social and economic benefits, notably through improved access to goods and services.

The multiannual plan for the Baltic Sea has failed to halt fisheries collapse, with four of the seven key stocks critically depleted. Conventional single-species reference points are inadequate under combined pressures from climate change, eutrophication and chronic assessment errors. This briefing highlights ecosystem reference points (ERPs), the ecosystem-adjusted fishing mortality FECO and complementary size- and age-based indicators, exploring how they could be developed in the Baltic Sea setting.

The Peace pillar – The European Union (EU) is a long-standing and active partner for peace and governance in Africa, providing both substantial financial and operational support. Cooperation between the EU and Africa in the area of peace and security promotes Africa's ownership – the principle of 'African solutions to African problems' – and recognises the African Union as a central player in this field. EU common security and defence policy missions and operations, together with the European Peace Facility and the Global Europe instrument, back African peace operations, mediation efforts and institutional capacity building. However, this partnership faces increasing challenges from regional fragmentation, shifting alliances, and intensifying geopolitical competition on the continent. This publication is part of a series on the Africa-EU partnership and its four pillars: Prosperity (economy and connectivity; natural resources, health, research and education), Peace (security and governance), People (migration and mobility) and Planet (multilateralism).

During the November I plenary session, Parliament will vote its position on the Commission proposal of 2 July 2025 to amend the European Climate Law.

On 30 July 2025, the European Commission published a proposal for a European fisheries and aquaculture statistics (EFAS) regulation. The proposed regulation modernises and streamlines the legal framework for EU fisheries and aquaculture statistics by repealing five existing regulations whose provisions date back around 30 years. Aside from providing legal simplification, the proposal expands the statistical coverage, reduces the volume of data flagged as confidential, and addresses data inconsistencies. A significant change is the reuse of information from existing EU databases. This includes the reuse of data on catches, collected as part of the fisheries control system, rather than asking Member States for this information again. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Austria's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) was updated for the second time on 8 July 2025. The plan totals €4 187 million, of which €3 961 million is financed through Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) grants and the difference through national resources. To implement the plan, Austria is leveraging further amounts beyond EU support from the national budget. The Austrian economy has been in a slowdown since the end of the second quarter of 2022. A lack of expansionary impetus both domestically and abroad led to a decline in economic output in 2023 and 2024. According to recent estimates, Austrian gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow slightly (by 0.3 %-0.4 %) in 2025 and by 1.2 % in 2026. In Austria's NRRP, 56 % of EU resources are allocated to the green transition, and 36 % to the digital transformation. The plan includes a significant number of reforms with the potential to support lasting structural changes in other areas, such as the primary healthcare system, less red tape for business, and modernisation of the public administration. By the end of October 2025, Austria had received €2 812 million in pre-financing and two result-based payments, which is above the current EU average (56.4 %). Following a positive assessment, the third payment should be disbursed soon. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Fourth edition. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

This report, requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, examines EU progress on implementing UN CRPD Article 19. It synthesises the EU's 2015 and 2025 UN CRPD reviews, assesses implications of the proposed Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034 and evaluates Member States' efforts on deinstitutionalisation. Despite policy advances, institutionalisation, inadequate community-based services and lack of meaningful consultation persist. Clear definitions, a minimum dataset and CRPD-compliant investments are among the measures required to realise Article 19. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

African and European Heads of State or Government will meet in Luanda (Angola) on 24 and 25 November 2025 for the Seventh European Union (EU)-African Union Summit. The Africa-EU partnership faces significant challenges, including global geopolitical shifts and shrinking development finance. Central to the EU's new approach, the Global Gateway strategy aims to mobilise €150 billion by 2027 to boost Africa's digital connectivity, transport infrastructure, and energy transition. However, questions remain over ownership and whether African priorities are genuinely reflected. To ensure the partnership remains effective, it must deliver on the commitments made at the 2022 summit and strengthen accountability mechanisms. This means addressing persistent challenges in implementation, such as lack of coordination, inconsistent reporting, and data gaps. The European Parliament has consistently advocated for a people-centred partnership that genuinely benefits both Europeans and Africans. This briefing provides an insight into the broad context that will set the scene for discussions. Detailed specifics of the four pillars of the partnership are discussed in separate publications: Prosperity (economy and connectivity; natural resources, health, research and education), Peace (security and governance), People (migration and mobility) and Planet (multilateralism). It is crucial for the next summit to embody a partnership of equals, supporting sustainable development, peace, and prosperity for both continents. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

The Prosperity pillar (1/2) – Africa's economic transformation is central to the partnership between Africa and the EU. Unlocking the continent's potential is not only key to its own development but also to boosting global competitiveness for both Africa and Europe. This requires reducing investment risks, strengthening regional value chains, and supporting intra-African trade. Progress depends on improving the mobilisation of domestic resources and addressing unsustainable debt levels. Expanding both physical and digital infrastructure and services across the continent is also key to achieving this transformation.

Prosperity pillar (2/2) – Youth and natural resources are key assets for Africa and its partnership with the European Union. To harness these assets, Africa and its European partners need to address climate-related challenges, energy poverty, health system gaps and education shortfalls. Joint initiatives are under way in all these areas; however, the Seventh European Union -African Union Summit will have to tackle asymmetries and tensions over differing priorities.

This paper examines EU–US economic relations, presenting evidence on trade and investment patterns and analysing transatlantic differences in short-term macroeconomic developments, productivity trends, economic structures, and policy orientations. It outlines three plausible trajectories of the future EU-US economic relations, the risks they entail and the need for EU action. Finally, the paper assesses the adequacy of the current European Parliament oversight framework in monitoring and responding to evolving transatlantic macroeconomic dynamics.
