Research for REGI, CONT and BUDG Committees - Cohesion Policy Calendar (2021-2027 and 2014-2020 Programming Periods) January 2024 update EN

19-01-2024 PE 563.425 REGI BUDG CONT
Briefing
Zusammenfassung : The implementation timetable for cohesion policy is defined largely by its legislative framework. In order to be able to plan parliamentary work and exercise systematic scrutiny of policy implementation and of the Commission’s work, it is essential to have an overview of the timing of different steps in policy implementation in the coming years. This type of briefing was first published (and subsequently updated) in 2014 covering the 2014-2020 programming period. This version includes the policy actions of the 2021-27 period, while still indicating the last steps of the 2014-20 period. It includes a detailed (but non-exhaustive) timetable of policy actions in 2024, together with an overview of major actions for the remainder of the programming period, from 2025. Given its contribution to cohesion in the European Union, policy actions under the Recovery and Resilience Facility are now included in the calendar.

Research for REGI Committee - Forest Fires of Summer 2022: Lessons to Draw from the Cohesion Policy Response EN

07-12-2023 PE 747.281 REGI
Auf einen Blick
Zusammenfassung : This At a glance note summarises the study of the same title. Europe is grappling with increased wildfires due to climate extremes, with protected areas especially vulnerable and fires in contaminated lands presenting distinctive challenges. European response mechanisms are constructive, but they require enhanced comprehensive management strategies, including community involvement and preventive measures. The Cohesion Policy does fund aids against wildfires, yet issues with governance, focus, and funds distribution limit its effectiveness. More emphasis on prevention, improved coordination, and integrated funding access, alongside enhanced information exchange and alignment with global initiatives, is crucial.

EU critical raw materials act EN

Briefing
Zusammenfassung : As the first EU act specifically regulating the EU's CRM supply, the proposed initiative aims to address an area previously identified as one of the EU's strategic dependencies. Following a clear problem description, the IA presents three (partially overlapping) policy options and a thorough analysis of their possible impacts, with a clear focus on economic impacts. The identification of the preferred policy option appears justified. The predominantly qualitative assessment draws merely on desk research and stakeholder input. In this respect, the IA admits to having 'significant data gaps' and a 'limited' evidence base, owing in part to 'the lack of a supporting study'. With regard to stakeholder input, the IA does not explain why the public consultation was open for only 8 weeks (instead of the default 12). It is notable that the proposed regulation deviates somewhat in scope from the IA: it adds a further specific objective – namely to diversify CRM imports in order to reduce strategic dependencies – and provides for a few measures that were either not assessed at all in the IA, or which were outside the preferred policy option.

Mechanism to resolve legal and administrative obstacles in a cross-border context EN

02-05-2023 PE 740.233 REGI
Studie
Zusammenfassung : EU border regions encounter legal and administrative obstacles in their cooperation. Citizens and businesses face unequal access to public services and fewer economic opportunities. COVID has highlighted the urgent need to address the remaining cross-border obstacles and define a long-term vision for unleashing the potential of border regions to become the drivers of European cooperation. The study identifies three policy options: status quo, soft-law measures, and adopting a new instrument (ECBM 2.0). Policy option 3 has the highest potential impact, addressing both legal and administrative obstacles, bringing benefits of €123 billion per year, as well as positive social impacts.

Social approach to the transition to smart cities EN

13-02-2023 PE 737.128 REGI ITRE FEMM
Studie
Zusammenfassung : This study explores the main impacts of the smart city transition on our cities and, in particular, on citizens and territories. In our research, we start from an analysis of smart city use cases to identify a set of key challenges, and elaborate on the main accelerating factors that may amplify or contain their impact on particular groups and territories. We then present an account of best practices that can help mitigate or prevent such challenges, and make some general observations on their scalability and replicability. Finally, based on an analysis of EU regulatory frameworks and a mapping of current or upcoming initiatives in the domain of smart city innovation, capacity-building and knowledge capitalisation, we propose six policy options to inform future policy-making at EU level to support a more inclusive smart city transition.

Auf einen Blick
Zusammenfassung : This At a glance note summarises the study on The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine on EU cohesion Part II: Overview and outlook. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and a range of mega-trends affect Europe’s pathway and exacerbate vulnerabilities for many places and societal groups. They risk accelerating disparities between places and people. Cohesion Policy proved to be a highly flexible instrument, reacting quickly and effectively against the effects of the pandemic. For the 2021-27 period it seems programmes are adopting a ‘back to normality’ approach. To address cohesion challenges ahead and ensure the crises result in a green, digital and just transition, Cohesion Policy has to adjust.

Tracking the EU Commissioners’ commitments - Von der Leyen Commission, 2019 - 2024 EN

Briefing
Zusammenfassung : This document is a compilation of briefings that track the commitments made by the Vice-Presidents and Commissioners to the European Parliament – in their written answers to Parliament’s questions, at their hearings, and, in some cases, in subsequent appearances before Parliament’s committees. The document provides an overview of the state-of-play at the mid-term of the von der Leyen Commission. Since many of these commitments were made, major international crises have shifted some political priorities. The Vice-Presidents’ and Commissioners’ progress on their commitments should be considered in this context.

Zusammenfassung : This At a glance note sumarises the study on Cohesion Policy in Northernmost Regions of the EU: North Sweden, North & East Finland. Northern Sparsely Populated Areas (NSPAs) have high economic potentials. Proactive public policies are needed to unlock them by overcoming key demographic challenges, making it possible for companies to recruit skilled staff and enhancing the welfare and quality of life of their populations. The study describes measures implemented to this end under EU Cohesion Policy. It suggests that more integrated approaches could help address these challenges in a more effective way and preserve territorial cohesion within NSPA regions.

Research for REGI Committee - Social Challenges in Cities EN

30-06-2022 PE 699.632 REGI
Auf einen Blick
Zusammenfassung : This At a glance note sumarises the study that explores social challenges and policy responses in EU cities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It demonstrates that the pandemic has placed additional pressures on vulnerable groups and the institutions that work to support them. It finds that the local policy capacity to respond to the crisis has differed across cities and multi-level governance settings. Participatory and integrated policy efforts have often failed to meet the expectations of urban citizens and stakeholders. To move towards urban resilience in times of crisis, EU-level funding needs to become more accessible and focused on long-term transformations, as well as improving policy dialogue with those cities most limited by ineffective local governance structures and historical legacies.

Towards a new regulatory framework for European population statistics EN

11-05-2022 PE 730.309 REGI LIBE EMPL ECON
Briefing
Zusammenfassung : Census data and demographic statistics are of great relevance for policy-making at the European, national, regional and local levels. At a time where the European Union (EU) is undergoing major demographic changes, driven by an ageing population, low fertility rates and increased migration flows, demand for accurate and timely population statistics rises. In parallel, owing to progress in digitalisation, statistical data collection methods are shifting from traditional population censuses and surveys towards the use of administrative data. Such register-based data collection methods bear great potential in terms of improved data frequency, granularity and burden reduction. The modernisation of European population statistics is one of the action points included in the European statistical programme 2021-2027, and part of a wider programme to modernise social statistics. Under the current regulatory framework, Eurostat collects population data under a number of separate legal acts, covering demographic, census and migration data. One of them, Regulation (EU) No 1260/2013 on European demographic statistics, is set to expire in 2028. According to the 2022 Commission work programme, the Commission will present a legislative proposal on population statistics in the second quarter of 2022. The new proposal should integrate, in a single legal act, annual demographic and migration statistics and decennial census data, as well as regional and geo-referenced population data. It should provide for timelier, more coherent and more specific population statistics that reflect migration more adequately and facilitate the use of administrative data sources.

Die schlimmsten und unmittelbarsten Auswirkungen konnten jedoch durch rasches politisches Handeln vermieden werden. In diesem Kontext spielte die Kohäsionspolitik eine wichtige Rolle.

Research for REGI Committee - Artificial Intelligence and Urban Development EN

15-09-2021 PE 690.895 REGI
Auf einen Blick
Zusammenfassung : This At a glance note summarises the research paper that explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in urban areas, and its impact on socio-economic and territorial cohesion. The research paper argues that expectations surrounding AI are high, especially in the context of smart-city initiatives, but that the actual benefits are yet to be fully assessed. To avoid potential risks, local and urban authorities need to fulfil a series of conditions that are inherently challenging. The EU’s AI Policy and its Cohesion Policy, in particular, may help, but they need to address the territorial dimension of AI more explicitly.

Forschungsarbeiten für den REGI-Ausschuss – Kohäsionspolitik und Klimawandel

15-04-2021 PE 652.247 REGI
Studie
Zusammenfassung : Die globale Erwärmung, d. h. ein signifikanter Anstieg der durchschnittlichen Temperatur der Erdoberfläche seit der vorindustriellen Zeit aufgrund menschlicher Aktivität, führt zu langfristigen Veränderungen der durchschnittlichen Wettermuster. Der durch die globale Erwärmung verursachte Klimawandel hat massive und meist negative Auswirkungen auf Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Umwelt. Die Linderung des Klimawandels durch die Bekämpfung der Ursachen der globalen Erwärmung, insbesondere die Verrringerung von Treibhausgas-Emissionen (THG-Emissionen), erfordert eine breite und koordinierte globale Reaktion. Des Weiteren muss die Fähigkeit zur Anpassung an die Folgen des bereits eingetretenen Klimawandels weiterentwickelt werden, dessen Auswirkungen wahrscheinlich noch Jahrzehnte oder Jahrhunderte andauern werden, selbst wenn sofortige Maßnahmen ergriffen werden.

Inseln der Europäischen Union: Ausgangslage und Herausforderungen für die Zukunft

24-03-2021 PE 652.239 REGI
Studie
Zusammenfassung : Von den Inseln (einschließlich der kleineren Inseln) der Europäischen Union (EU) ist keine systematische oder harmonisierte Liste verfügbar. Schätzungen in einigen neueren Quellen belaufen sich jedoch auf etwa 2 400 bewohnte Inseln in der EU-28. Die Inseln gehören zu 13 Mitgliedstaaten, nämlich zu Dänemark, Deutschland, Estland, Finnland, Frankreich, Griechenland, Italien, Kroatien, den Niederlanden, Polen, Portugal, Schweden und Spanien. (Irland, Malta und Zypern sind Inselmitgliedstaaten.) Nach dem Austritt des Vereinigten Königreichs aus der EU zählen dessen Inselgebiete nicht mehr zu den Inseln der Europäischen Union. Anzumerken ist, dass es innerhalb der Inseln eine gesonderte Kategorie von Gebieten in äußerster Randlage gibt. Diese gehören zwar zu Frankreich, Spanien und Portugal, liegen aber weit von Europa entfernt, zum Beispiel im Atlantischen oder Indischen Ozean.

Research for REGI Committee-Climate Spending in EU Cohesion Policy: State of Play and Prospects EN

21-12-2020 PE 652.236 REGI
Briefing
Zusammenfassung : With more than EUR 55 billion in planned investments, Cohesion Policy seeks to make a significant contribution to the EU´s overall climate-related spending target of 20% in the 2014-2020 period. There are concrete achievements in a number of areas such as flood and forest fire protection. However, evidence also suggests that Cohesion Policy is at risk of missing some of its targets, including on energy efficiency, renewables and greenhouse gas emissions. Cohesion policy has also continued to provide support to fossil fuels and biomass, which may hinder the EU’s long-term path to climate neutrality. Moreover, the Commission’s current approach to tracking climate-related expenditure in Cohesion Policy has shortcomings. There is a need for a transparent and meaningful methodology, with a stronger focus on performance and results, as repeatedly highlighted by Parliament. The climate spending target is set to increase to at least 30% under the EU’s next Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF) and the Recovery Instrument (Next Generation EU). In the period 2021-2027, Cohesion Policy is expected to place even more emphasis on climate and environment-related issues in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal.

Forschungsarbeiten für den REGI-Ausschuss - Die Rolle der Evaluierung in der Kohäsionspolitik

27-05-2020 PE 629.219 REGI
Studie
Zusammenfassung : Die Kohäsionspolitik, die rund ein Drittel des gesamten EU-Haushalts ausmacht, ist der am häufigsten evaluierte Politikbereich der EU. Der existierende rechtliche Rahmen ist ambitiös. Die praktische Umsetzung ergibt hingegen ein widersprüchliches Bild. Während der rechtliche Rahmen eine immer genauere Analyse der Erfolge der Kohäsionspolitik ermöglicht, fließen Evaluierungsergebnisse nicht immer in politische Entscheidungen ein und werden mitunter als eine Aufgabe betrachtet, die mit „Verwaltungsaufwand“ verbunden ist. Die Vorschläge der Kommission für die Zeit nach 2020 zielen auf eine Vereinfachung der Regeln ab, indem verbindliche Vorschriften reduziert und schriftliche Leitlinien begrenzt werden. Dies birgt jedoch einige Risiken. Dem Europäischen Parlament kommt eine wichtige Rolle zu. Um die politische Dimension der Kohäsionspolitik zu stärken, sollte es eine Bestandsaufnahme der Evaluierungsergebnisse vornehmen und einen Beitrag zu einer Evaluierungskultur in den Mitgliedstaaten und den Regionen leisten.

Research for REGI Committee - Briefing: - Assessment of the Just Transition Fund proposal EN

18-02-2020 PE 629.213 REGI
Briefing
Zusammenfassung : Soon after unveiling the overall roadmap for its flagship European Green Deal initiative, the European Commission published its first concrete proposal on 14 January 2020, on how to establish a Just Transition Mechanism (European Commission, 2020a, 2020b and 2020c). The objective of this initiative is to provide support to territories facing serious socio-economic challenges arising from the transition towards climate-neutrality. To reach the €100 billion of Just Transition Mechanism financing (for the period 2021-2027) promised by European Commission President Von der Leyen, the initiative relies on three main pillars (European Commission, 2020a): 1. The creation of a Just Transition Fund (JTF): the Commission wants to add €7.5 billion of ‘fresh money’ to the total amount proposed in 2018 for the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). This is supposed to trigger between €30 billion and €50 billion of additional funding for the regions most affected by the transition 2. The use of a portion of the InvestEU financing devoted to climate to mobilise a total of €45 billion of investment in ‘Just Transition’ projects between 2021 and 2027. 3. The creation a public sector loan facility at the European Investment Bank partly guaranteed by the EU budget, to mobilise between €25 billion to €30 billion of additional public investments in 2021-2027.
