As part of ongoing European Union (EU) efforts to create a more business-friendly and competitive environment, on 24 June 2026 the European Commission presented a proposal for a tax simplification package, including an omnibus simplifying EU rules on direct taxation. The proposed omnibus comprises a set of measures designed to streamline EU direct taxation rules and reduce administrative burdens, by revising key corporate tax directives. The legislative acts proposed for revision are the Interest and Royalties Directive, the Tax Merger Directive, Parent-Subsidiary Directive, the Anti-Tax-Avoidance Directive, the Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanisms Directive, and the Faster and Safer Relief of Excess Withholding Taxes Directive. The implementation of this legislation has led to a fragmented landscape across EU Member States, characterised by different rules and interpretations. Evidence indicates that these directives have created significant challenges for taxpayers and businesses, leading to legal uncertainty and inefficiencies, particularly for cross-border activities, which can undermine the proper functioning of the EU single market and business competitiveness. Additionally, the tax landscape has evolved significantly, both within the EU and globally, since the adoption of the directives the omnibus addresses. This evolution is particularly evident with the introduction of new regulations such as the EU's Global Minimum Tax Directive, which has created additional complexities in the existing tax framework. This implementation appraisal focuses primarily on the revision of the directives under the omnibus. It also examines implementation reports, evaluations, and other evidence assessing the application of the directives under revision. It summarises the main features of the omnibus proposal and considers the European Parliament's perspective, written questions from its Members, and the views of stakeholders, including EU institutions and advisory bodies.

Despite judicial and now-defunct legislative efforts to harmonise data retention practices across the EU, national data retention regimes remain fragmented, with some countries adopting their own rules and others none at all. Law enforcement authorities report operational difficulties, while service providers face significant compliance burdens and costs. Although the Court's case law has clarified the general principles governing data retention, important practical details remain unresolved. In response, the European Commission is assessing the need for a new harmonised EU framework, with a proposal potentially forthcoming. However, stakeholders are divided over its scope and safeguards.

Artificial intelligence (AI) was already transforming the world of work when the advent of generative AI (GenAI) and its rapid uptake accelerated the process. Today, it is widely recognised that GenAI can both significantly enhance and degrade human skills, and cause labour market disruptions by transforming or displacing jobs.AI's impact on jobs depends on the degree to which these are exposed to AI, and is often estimated by the potential of individual tasks to be automated. Reports distinguish between augmentable, automatable and unaffected jobs.Expectations about AI's impact are evolving. Claims that white-collar jobs will soon be massively replaced by AI are being mitigated by economic research predicting AI's modest macroeconomic effects on productivity and gross domestic product growth. The most likely impact of GenAI is a profound transformation, rather than large-scale destruction, of jobs.Early evidence shows a strong impact on white-collar entry-level jobs and shifting regional labour-market dynamics, as AI's effects are more strongly felt in urban areas and in places where AI-adopting companies are located. Much will depend on the regulatory framework, on organisations' workflow adaptation, and on training people in AI skills.With the recent data on AI use by individuals and enterprises, the European Union (EU) considers AI a defining challenge for its long-term competitiveness. It is adapting its regulatory framework with a view to developing AI talent and, generally, increasing AI skills. Forecasts about how AI and digital technologies could reshape employment in European regions are cautiously positive.To reap AI's benefits and mitigate its negative effects on jobs, societal adaptations are needed. Beyond regulation and supportive policy, these start with training and education, to provide both current and future workers with the necessary skills, and include adapted social protection, social dialogue, and safeguards of workers' rights.

Although the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) continued developing EU data retention standards after invalidating the former EU Data Retention Directive in 2014, national interpretations diverge and efforts towards alignment have stalled. Law enforcement and judicial authorities report operational challenges arising from this fragmentation, sometimes precluding timely access to communications-related data necessary for identifying suspects and victims, reconstructing criminal activity, and generating investigative leads. In response to these issues and to calls from the Council, the European Commission is assessing the need for a new EU framework. Any legislative action would require a series of politically and legally sensitive design choices. Controversy may arise in relation to the legitimacy and appropriate scope of renewed EU legislative intervention; the operationalisation of the CJEU's system of graduated objectives and safeguards; the adequacy of retention periods; the design of access conditions and safeguards; and, possibly, the need to regulate automated processing of retained datasets. This briefing builds on the overviews provided in the EPRS briefings 'Towards new EU data retention rules' and 'Mapping CJEU limits on data retention framework'. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

As the European Union prepares to redefine its external financing framework for the next Multiannual Financial Framework, the proposed Global Europe Instrument raises key questions about the future place of human rights, democracy and the rule of law in EU external action. While intended to enhance coherence, flexibility and geopolitical responsiveness, the new framework must also ensure that values-based commitments remain visible, adequately funded and operationally effective. The workshop held on 23 February 2026, organised on behalf of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI), examined how the proposed instrument may affect the EU’s capacity to support democratic governance, accountability, civil society, human-rights defenders and fundamental rights worldwide. Against a background of democratic backsliding, shrinking civic space and growing geopolitical competition, participants discussed the risks and opportunities of moving from dedicated funding structures towards a more integrated external financing instrument. The discussion also addressed the balance between strategic interests and values-based external action, and the role of the European Parliament in ensuring democratic oversight, policy coherence and sustained support for human rights and democracy. This publication brings together the workshop proceedings, including exchanges with Members, academics, civil society experts and EU representatives, with a briefing on the same topic.

Recent crises have highlighted the importance of renewable energy sources and enhanced energy infrastructure for the European Union (EU) – both to meet its decarbonisation objectives and to enhance its energy security and sovereignty. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) has significantly boosted EU financial support available for investment and reform measures linked to clean energy. Overall, 26 Member States are investing around €54.2 billion (9.4 % of the RRF envelope) in such measures, with significant allocations in the recovery plans of various countries (Poland, Italy, Spain, Greece and Hungary devoting the largest amounts in absolute figures). Almost evenly distributed between renewable energy (53 %) and networks (47 %), those resources finance a broad range of measures, not least in smart grids, solar energy and wind power. However, the RRF has shown some limits in its capacity to support cross-border measures, with examples of such projects withdrawn from the plans because of delays. Equally important, the plans' reform component is aimed at improving the regulatory environment for clean energy, for example by streamlining permitting for renewables or improving access to grids. As of 8 June 2026, progress in the implementation of clean energy investment was lagging behind that of the overall plans in terms of objectives assessed as achieved. With the final deadlines for RRF implementation approaching fast, the second half of 2026 is crucial to determine whether the RRF's estimated benefits in terms of enhanced energy infrastructure, deployment of renewables and emissions reductions can fully materialise. Many clean energy measures are delivered through financial instruments, which should lead to part of the RRF resources being invested on the ground after 2026 and leveraging further investment from other sources. Once the RRF comes to an end, analyses point to a possible public funding gap. The European Parliament has identified energy as one of the priority areas for strategic EU investment in the post-2027 EU budget, calling for an increase in the relevant allocations.
