Through ADR, consumers are able to settle ...

European Union lawmakers reached a political agreement on the draft artificial intelligence (AI) act in December 2023. Proposed by the European Commission in April 2021, the draft AI act, the first binding worldwide horizontal regulation on AI, sets a common framework for the use and supply of AI systems in the EU. It offers a classification for AI systems with different requirements and obligations tailored on a 'risk-based approach'. Some AI systems presenting 'unacceptable' risks are prohibited ...

The impact assessment (IA) defines the problems, their drivers, the objectives and the options of the initiative in a robust intervention logic. It explains the initiative's coherence with ongoing legislation. However, the interplay between the initiative and, in particular, the artificial intelligence act and the revised Product Liability Directive with regard to their scope of application and the likely evolution of the problems appear to be addressed insufficiently. The IA is based on several ...

EU package travel rules protect travellers who have booked two or more travel services together – typically, a flight and a hotel room. Since the 1990s, the EU has been setting norms in this travel industry sector, to protect consumers and define obligations for package organisers. Since 2004, regulations specific to the mode of transport (such as air, rail or coach) for passenger rights have also gradually been adopted at EU level, creating a comprehensive, albeit not always coherent, framework ...

During the February II plenary session, Parliament is set to vote on a provisional agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council on the proposed regulation on data collection and sharing relating to short-term accommodation rental services. The proposal aims to facilitate registration of hosts and their short-term rental units (such as houses, apartments and rooms). It also aims to reduce inconsistencies in how online platforms share data with public authorities, and help to increase ...

During its February II session, the European Parliament is expected to vote its first-reading position on two legislative proposals: a draft recast regulation on the supplementary protection certificate (SPC) and a draft regulation on the unitary SPC, both concerning medicinal products. These parallel proposals are part of a broader package on improving intellectual property rights.

Provocările cu care ne confruntăm la nivel mondial – inclusiv schimbările climatice, conflictele geopolitice, erodarea principiilor democratice și inegalitățile sociale – afectează viața de zi cu zi și perspectivele de viitor ale cetățenilor. Un răspuns comun la nivel european, pentru următorii 10 ani, ne-ar putea ajuta să facem față acestor provocări – și ar putea genera beneficii de până la 3 mii de miliarde de euro anual. Această sumă reprezintă circa 18 % din produsul intern brut (PIB) al UE ...
