The rise of generative AI has presented a global challenge to copyright law regarding authorship and human creativity. This has implications for the ability of creators to control and monetise their work, in addition to incentives to use innovative technologies. Currently, the EU lacks specific rules on the copyrightability of AI-generated works, but existing case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and developments at Member State level demonstrate a strong need for human creativity. The European Parliament has also advocated a human-centric approach while calling for further analysis of how intellectual property rights are applied to content created with the use of AI tools. Most countries, including the United States, maintain a human-centric approach, limiting copyright to works with significant human involvement in the creative process. However, not all the international approaches and practices are aligned, and this briefing gives examples from a selection of different jurisdictions. Certain common-law countries, including the United Kingdom, grant copyright to 'computer-generated' works without a human author while, in a slightly contradictory manner, assigning authorship to the person responsible for the arrangements for the creation of the work. Chinese courts show mixed rulings, sometimes granting copyright based on sufficient human effort in selecting and editing prompts. Cases like the artwork called 'Suryast', produced with the help of AI, reveal conflicting copyright decisions across the world, with AI being recognised as a co-author in some countries. Uniquely, Ukraine has adopted a 'sui generis' right to provide alternative protection for AI-generated images, distinct from traditional copyright. As a result, there may be a need for greater coordination globally to reduce legal uncertainty and to determine the level of human involvement needed for copyright protection.

This European implementation assessment of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 2014/89/EU in regard to fisheries in selected fishing areas and sea basins aims to inform the ongoing work of the European Parliament's Committee on Fisheries (PECH) on an own-initiative implementation report, ' The impact of the implementation of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 2014/89/EU on fisheries in selected fishing areas and sea basins (2024/2126 (INI)), ahead of the Directive’s planned revision at the end of 2026. The assessment is composed of two parts. The first part, an introduction by the European Parliamentary Research Service provides historical background to the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive and presents the European Parliament’s position, setting the scope of the external evaluation study. The second part is an evaluation study undertaken by a team of external experts that assesses the implementation and effects of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive on the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, based on five evaluation criteria - effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, relevance and EU added value - and drawing on desk research, interviews and six regional case studies (Baltic Sea, Channel, Bay of Biscay, North Coast Portugal, Adriatic Sea, Aegean Sea).

As part of the European Union's budget for the 2028-2034 period, the European Commission presented a short proposal for a regulation establishing the European Fund for Regional Development (ERDF), including territorial cooperation (Interreg) and the Cohesion Fund (CF), and establishing conditions for the implementation of Union support to regional development from 2028 to 2034. However, support for regional and cohesion policy would be integrated into a larger fund (the 'Fund') that also covers areas such as fisheries and agriculture. The 'Fund' is covered by a separate regulation. Consequently, rather than launching separate, fully fledged legislative proposals on the ERDF and CF, as happened in the 2021-2027 programming period, the Commission published a much shorter ERDF/CF sectoral proposal which briefly includes these two funds but also outlines some basic conditions for funding in regional policy.

Transport policy has been one of the EU’s common policies for more than 30 years. Alongside the opening up of transport markets and the creation of the Trans-European Transport Network, the ‘sustainable mobility’ model will take on even greater importance – particularly in view of the constant rise in greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector, which threatens to jeopardise the European Union’s efforts to achieve its climate goals.

The EU budget is financed in large part from own resources, and supplemented by other revenue. Annual revenue must completely cover annual expenditure, as a budget deficit is not allowed. The system of own resources is decided by the Council on the basis of unanimity, having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, and needs to be ratified by each Member State. A reform of the own resources system was proposed by the Commission together with the proposal for the multiannual financial framework 2028-2034. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

The EU’s energy efficiency measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy bills and improve energy security while reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels. The Energy Efficiency Directive requires EU countries to cut their energy use by 11.7% by 2030 compared to 2020 projections. The directive sets annual energy savings targets that increase over time, requires public buildings to reduce energy consumption and undergo renovations, and introduces measures to tackle energy poverty. Separate rules aim to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the building sector. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

This European implementation assessment of the 2020 Council Recommendation on A Bridge to Jobs – Reinforcing the Youth Guarantee and replacing the Council Recommendation of 22 April 2013 on establishing a Youth Guarantee (the 'reinforced Youth Guarantee' or 'RYG') aims to inform the ongoing work of the European Parliament's Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL) on an own-initiative implementation report on the RYG (2025/2184(INI)). The assessment is composed of two parts. The first part is an introduction by the European Parliamentary Research Service that provides the essential historical background, including an overview of selected evaluations, Parliament's position and a complementary analysis on young people not in education, employment or training. The second part is an evaluation study undertaken by a team of external experts that aims to provide an updated assessment of the RYG's implementation. It is guided by three core objectives: (i) to assess current trends in implementation at Member State level; (ii) to analyse the impact of the 2020 reinforcement in addressing previously identified challenges; and (iii) to examine the role of EU funding and governance mechanisms. Based on interviews, a survey, desk research, and extended national research in 10 selected Member States, the study provides key findings and policy recommendations to tackle the implementation gaps identified.

On 3 December 2025, the European Commission unveiled a package of five legislative proposals underpinning two possible options for funding Ukraine in 2026 and 2027: a reparations loan, borrowing cash balances from banks and other financial companies holding immobilised Russian Central Bank assets; or joint EU borrowing, guaranteed by the 'headroom' in the EU budget. These proposals form the basis for discussions at the 18-19 December European Council meeting. Without new additional financial support from the EU and other international donors, Ukraine is expected to run out of funds early in 2026. The value of Russian assets immobilised worldwide is estimated at around €300 billion. The European Parliament has repeatedly demanded those assets be used to support Ukraine's defence against Russia's occupation forces. At the same time, Russian assets have become a major point in discussions towards a peace plan, escalating the pressure on the EU to take a decision. Belgium continues to resist use of the immobilised assets and recently received support from other Member States, such as Italy and Bulgaria, on that issue. Hungary has voiced opposition to any further support for Ukraine, blocking the option to use the 'headroom' of the EU budget, which would necessitate a unanimous amendment. If both options proposed by the Commission are blocked, a 'coalition of the willing' could be the option of last resort. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

This study examines housing needs across the EU, focusing on inequalities in affordability, accessibility, and quality. It provides a mapping of the current housing needs in the EU across territories, including across Member States, rural and urban areas, outermost regions, and islands and across population groups. The study analyses key factors affecting housing demand and supply challenges, and the impacts of housing scarcity on health, education and employment. It also reviews how EU legislation and funding shape and support national policies in the area of decent, sustainable and affordable housing. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

The European Commission adopted its proposal for a regulation establishing Union support for internal security for 2028 to 2034 on 16 July 2025. Funding for the policy would come from the proposed European fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security. The proposal should therefore fall under the same funding framework as those for a regulation establishing Union support for asylum, migration and integration; and for a regulation establishing Union support for the Schengen area for European integrated border management and the common policy on visas. The regulation aims at strengthening European Union and Member State capabilities to prevent and combat organised and serious crime, enhance the resilience of critical entities against hostile acts and manage security-related incidents, risks and crises. It would also seek to improve and enhance the exchange of information and improve law enforcement cooperation. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

The action of the European Union (EU) in the field of budgetary control is based on two principles: on the one hand, ensuring that the EU’s budget is properly spent and, on the other, protecting the Union’s financial interests and combating fraud. The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has the power to investigate fraud against the EU budget, corruption and serious misconduct and develops anti-fraud policy. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) investigates, prosecutes and brings to justice crimes against the EU budget. Even if their primary focus is not strictly on protecting the Union’s financial interests, EUROPOL and Eurojust provide additional support. Finally, the anti-fraud landscape was marked by the establishment of a further decentralised EU agency, the Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA), in June 2024.

Over the past decade, the EU has experienced major macroeconomic imbalances and serious divergences in competitiveness. These have both exacerbated the negative effects of the financial crisis that began in 2008 and prevented the effective use of common monetary policy measures to resolve them. In 2011, the EU set up the macroeconomic imbalance procedure to identify and correct such imbalances at national level, particularly those with the potential to spill over and affect other EU countries.
