European Union gender budgeting – state of play 2024 EN

01-12-2024 767.348 CONT BUDG
Briefing
Samenvatting : The European Commission adopted the 2020-2025 Gender Equality Strategy to achieve significant progress towards gender equality across the EU by 2025. This included the introduction of the gender budgeting methodology in 2021. The methodology was applied to the budgets of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The gender budgeting methodology categorises programmes using scores (2, 1, 0*, 0). However, vague criteria like ‘potential to contribute’ (score of 0*) and limited data undermine its accuracy and transparency. Only 2% of total funds are assigned to programmes with gender equality as their primary goal (score of 2), 9% of total funds are assigned to programmes which received a score of 1 and 69% of funds are assigned to programmes with a score of 0. This briefing gives an overview of the state of play of gender budgeting in the different EU programmes. It describes the methodology and gives examples of gender equality measures taken using EU funding

The EU Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030 - Achievements and perspectives EN

25-11-2024 767.095 PETI
Briefing
Samenvatting : At the request of the PETI Committee, the Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs prepared this briefing to present the EU Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030, which is the European Commission's policy framework for implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The strategy includes an ambitious set of actions and flagship initiatives until 2024 in various domains, linked to the UNCRPD. Five of the seven flagship initiatives have already been implemented, and the two remaining ones are expected to be published by early 2025. Most of the other policy actions included in the Strategy are also completed by 2024. Despite significant efforts to implement the UNCRPD across the EU, persistent gaps remain between persons with and without disabilities, for example, when it comes to poverty, access to jobs, inclusive education, housing, or healthcare services.

Assessing the Debt Sustainability Analysis Methodology in the EU’s New Economic Governance Framework EN

25-11-2024 764.180 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : This paper argues that the debt sustainability methodology in the EU new economic governance framework, while analytically sound, faces major implementation challenges. Primary among these is the reliance on a non-observable variable (the volatility of future debt-to-GDP ratios) that must be estimated based on ad hoc procedures that may affect significantly the required decline in the debt ratio after the end of the adjustment period and, hence, the primary surplus that a Member State needs to achieve during the adjustment period.

Studie
Samenvatting : Contingent liabilities for the EU budget have grown considerably in their magnitude and their complexity and will continue to increase under the MFF 2021-2027. This paper tracks their evolution, explains the risks they might impose on the EU budget, and analyses the risk management practices to address them. We forecast total contingent liabilities will more than double by 2027, reaching EUR 612 billion. This will be driven mainly by RRF loans and, to a lesser extent, by financial support to Ukraine.

Assessing the ECB’s monetary policy stance by comparing tightening cycles EN

10-11-2024 760.266 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : In this paper, the ECB monetary policy stance is assessed by comparing the recent tightening cycle (2022-today) with the two preceding ones, which took place in 2000-2001 and in 2006-2008. Interest rates, quantitative indicators and monetary conditions indices (MCIs) are used for this purpose. The main finding is that at the peak of the latest tightening cycle, the ECB monetary policy stance was no more restrictive than it was at the peak of the two preceding ones; actually, probably less. This contrasts with the fact that in the more recent case inflation was higher and more persistent than in the two earlier episodes. This document was provided by the Economic Governance and EMU Scrutiny Unit at the request of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 4 December 2024.

Quarterly assessment of the ECB’s monetary policy stance EN

10-11-2024 760.267 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : The paper seeks to assess the current monetary policy stance of the European Central Bank (ECB). To do so, it analyses factors driving the inflation dynamics in the euro area (EA) and their potential persistence, drawing comparisons with the inflation drivers and policy response in the United States (US). Given the prominent role played by the energy-price increase in EA inflation and the differential exposure of EA Member States, the paper analyses the country-level inflation dynamics in response to the energy shock. Finally, the paper discusses the ECB’s strategy and communication, and the interpretation drawn by financial markets, before taking stock on the stance of monetary policy.

EU trade policy implications on third countries’ domestic policies EN

07-11-2024 754.454 INTA
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : The European Union’s policies influence third country trading partners’ domestic policy in different ways. Unilateral legislation in the green and digital fields, for example, contribute to setting global standards as traders must comply with EU requirements to access the Single market. The digital transition cooperation between Africa and the EU could lead to further regulatory convergence in the digital field. The EU's human-centric approach to digital policy, fostering consumer protection and trust inter alia through the General Data Protection Regulation, influences the African Continental Free Trade Area. Ensuring market access between Africa and the EU including in the field of e-commerce is strategically desirable for both blocks. Green legislation will impact foreign producers including smallholder and could potentially result in changes in trade flows. The liberalisation of trade through FTAs fosters economic growth and guarantees access to critical resources such as Chilean lithium for the EU’s digital transition. However, it can also exert environmental and social pressures on trading partners. Lastly, the rules based international trading system established by the WTO can be eroded by government subsidies with significant negative spillover effects on international trade. Global dialogue between trade partners is desirable to avoid a subsidy race .

Samenvatting : The expected shift towards a performance-oriented budget presupposes a careful choice and definition of indicators clearly linked to the funding objectives, as well as standardised reporting and fully integrated and interoperable IT solutions to collect the required amount of data. Ensuring the full protection of the Union’s financial interest under performance-based budgeting will require careful balancing of auditing and control requirements with the administrative burden imposed on Member States and beneficiaries, and for the European Parliament, a form of Parliamentary Budget Office, drawing on best practices from Member States.

European Public Goods and the 2028-2034 Multiannual Financial Framework EN

30-10-2024 766.171 CONT BUDG
Briefing
Samenvatting : Over the past decade, the concept of European Public Goods has become central to the EU reform debate. Genuine additional public tasks for the EU will require additional competencies and revenues. Exploring revenue niches not exploited by the Member States will not suffice: In the long term, the required doubling of the EU budget will only be achieved through genuine Own Resources in the form of surtaxes or tax shares linked to income and consumption.

Samenvatting : The practice of mainstreaming key transformational goals will undoubtedly be carried over into the post-2027 MFF. Assessing mainstreaming means looking at longer-term results and societal impacts. To this end, defining indicators and monitoring approaches will be crucial, as reliably establishing causality is often difficult. Additional imperatives for the European Parliament will be to ensure satisfactory access to the information required and to boost its in-house capacity to analyse it.

EU enlargement and the post-2027 Multi-Annual Financial Framework EN

30-10-2024 766.224 CONT BUDG
Briefing
Samenvatting : Current estimates suggest that the cost of integrating all potential candidates, excluding Turkey, would be manageable, ranging from €15.7 billion to €26 billion per year. This range reflects different assumptions and methodological choices. At its maximum, this cost represents 0.2% of the EU’s GDP and could be easily covered within the existing margin of the Own Resources ceiling. The entry of Ukraine in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) poses significant challenges. Although accession may not be imminent, the EU should begin planning for this eventuality.

The new economic governance framework: Implications for monetary policy EN

30-10-2024 760.265 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : Credible ECB monetary policy requires that the revised EU economic governance framework be tightly enforced from its start. Net primary expenditures as key control variable allow predictable monetary policy focused on stabilisation. However, widespread debt reduction pushing spending growth below potential GDP growth may prompt more accommodative ECB policy. Moreover, potentially cumulating changes in public spending-to-GDP ratios need close monitoring. Finally, the criteria for TPI may increase pressure to be lenient on enforcement of the fiscal rules.

How to achieve CMU, after all? An analysis of the recommendations for Capital Markets Union in the Draghi, Letta and Noyer reports EN

28-10-2024 760.263 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : The three reports by Draghi, Letta and Noyer remind policy makers that capital markets channelling savings into investments is key to competitiveness and economic growth. The recommendations of these reports could give new impetus to the long-standing flagship policy of the Capital Markets Union (CMU). In this briefing we show how securitisation, supervision, market infrastructure and savings/pensions schemes are identified as priorities in all three reports, however with different conclusions. We also discuss all other CMU recommendations in the reports.

Banking union and the long wait for cross-border integration EN

10-10-2024 760.272 ECON
Studie
Samenvatting : The banking union project has achieved European-level policy integration of microprudential supervision but not of crisis intervention. This largely explains the disappointing progress in the cross-border integration of the banking sector, which we document using data on banks’ assets and also specifically on their sovereign exposures. In a capital markets union, there is no equivalent of the banking crisis intervention framework and related public financial safety net, and therefore supervisory integration can have more direct catalytical impact in that context than in banking.

10 years of Banking Union case law – how did CJEU judgments shape supervision and resolution practice in the Banking Union? EN

Studie
Samenvatting : This paper discusses EU case law developed over the past decade relating to decisions taken by the European Central Bank within the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) and within the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM). The cases centre around embracing and solidifying the BU framework, inter alia, with the admissibility to challenge ECB’s supervisory and licence withdrawal decisions, the application of national law by the ECB in its supervisory competence and the methodology attached to the setting of administrative pecuniary penalties. Other cases concern the determination of the ex-ante contributions to the Single Resolution Fund, the perimeter of resolution decision-making, and the responsibility of the decision-making bodies involved in the resolution process.

Can Banking Union foster market integration, and what lessons does that hold for capital markets union? EN

01-10-2024 760.262 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : Over the past decade, Banking Union (BU) regulators focused on making banks safer, resulting in stronger banks but limited euro area cross-border integration. To attain the strong and integrated financial system Europe needs going forward, BU authorities must now broaden their focus, promoting cross-border banking by removing legislative barriers that prevent or discourage it. That goal requires reducing overbanking and limiting the national authorities’ regulatory power further. It also necessitates a Capital Markets Union (CMU) under a unified supervisory control. We argue that BU and CMU are complements in a strong and integrated European financial system, and that a successful launch of CMU presupposes progress towards an integrated BU.

Council position on the CMDI reform- An initial analysis regarding key aspects of the proposed bank crisis management framework EN

30-09-2024 755.737 ECON
Briefing
Samenvatting : Following the negative reaction from the Commission when the Council published its general approach to the CMDI reform, this briefing provides some initial analysis regaring the key aspects of public interest assessment, resolution objectives and resolution funding. Clearly, the Council aims for a narrower scope of resolution in harmonised procedures by the Banking Union authorities than the Commission and narrows the available funding accordingly, potentially privileging action under national frameworks instead. Whether a balance is achieved, however, will require more in-depth analysis.

Can the Banking Union foster market integration, and what lessons does this hold for Capital Markets Union? EN

30-09-2024 760.259 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : We discuss the contribution of the Banking Union in its current form to market integration in the euro area. While the introduction of single supervision has fostered banking integration, limited progress in single resolution and the absence of a European deposit insurance scheme undermine further advancements. We argue that a significant obstacle to financial integration lies in the persistence of national interests in regulation, supervision, and politics. We also explore the lessons that can be learned from ten years of the Banking Union for the development of the Capital Markets Union and the integration of capital markets. The successes of the Banking Union in common supervision and rule-setting can provide a path forward.

Third, we advance some proposals to finalise the BU accelerating effective market integration. Fourth, we explore various BU-CMU interconnections, introducing policy-related considerations to support the development of a well-functioning CMU.

ELTIFs: Delegated Act (RTS) supplementing Regulation (EU) 2015/760 ECON Scrutiny Session of 30 September 2024 EN

26-09-2024 764.398 ECON
Briefing
Samenvatting : The review of Regulation (EU) 2015/760 (ELTIF Regulation) concluded in February 2023 with the adoption of the amending Regulation (EU) 2023/606 (ELTIF 2.0), the aim of which was to increase the attractiveness of ELTIFs. ELTIF 2.0 is applicable since 10 January 2024. ELTIFs are the only type of fully harmonised alternative investment funds (AIFs) dedicated to long-term investments and they are open both to professional and retail investors. Since the adoption of the original ELTIFs legal framework in April 2015 (ELTIF 1.0), only 57 ELTIFs (as of October 2021) had been launched with a relatively small amount of net assets under management (total assets under management are estimated at approximately EUR 2.4 billion in 2021). Such authorised ELTIFs were domiciled in only four Member States (Luxembourg, France, Italy and Spain), and the other Member States had no domestic ELTIFs. Among the main reasons for the insufficient uptake of ELTIFs in Europe the Commission had identified restrictive fund rules and barriers to entry for retail investors. The reform of 2023 aimed to strike a balance that would help overcome the issue of restrictive rules and to enhance long-term investment in Europe and deepen the Capital Markets Union. The result was well received in the market, as it is proven by the fact that since 2023, the number of authorised ELTIFs has increased significantly. Regulation (EU) 2023/606 (ELTIF 2.0) mandated ESMA to adopt RTSs on various aspects of the amending Regulation. On 19 December 2023, ESMA submitted its draft RTS to the Commission. Based on ESMA’s draft RTS, on 6 March 2024 the European Commission has adopted the RTS “with amendments” citing multiple legal problems with the draft RTS and requested ESMA to resubmit the draft RTS within 6 weeks in line with the adoption procedure set out in Article 10(1) of ESMA Regulation. Upon receiving an amended draft from ESMA, in line with the procedure under Article 10(1) of ESMA Regulation, the Commission adopted on 19 July 2024 the RTS with the amendments it considered relevant and submitted the delegated act to the Parliament and to the Council for scrutiny. The scrutiny period ends on 21 October 2024. Before the formal adoption of the ELTIF delegated act, the Commission consulted the Expert Group of the European Securities Committee where the majority of Member States supported the RTS as amended by the Commission

Samenvatting : Upon request of the Committee on Petitions (PETI), the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs commissioned the present study on Regulation 1049/2001 on access to documents with a twofold objective. First, to update the analysis conducted in a 2016 study for the PETI Committee with the latest developments in the case law of the CJEU and the activities led by the European Ombudsman since then – in particular focussing on access to legislative documents, documents relating to administrative proceedings, Court proceedings, infringement proceedings, protection of privacy, international relations, and special regimes. Second, to assess the possible future alignment of the Access Regulation with the evolving digital context, including a potential revision of the definition of document, access to user-friendly public registers and internet sites, access to agendas of officials and scheduled meetings with interest representatives, and access to videos of CJEU oral hearings. The research also incorporates illustrative and complementary cases and own initiatives by the European Ombudsman as indications of evolving challenges to institutional secrecy in the EU context.

The Capital Markets Union – an extra feather to the EMU- Are Capital Markets Important for Monetary Policy? EN

23-09-2024 760.256 ECON
Studie
Samenvatting : The first 10 years of the Capital Markets Union (CMU) have been marked by minimalistic progress. The unfinished nature of the CMU has direct relevance for the ECB by affecting financing conditions in Member States and eroding the risk-sharing ability of the EMU, imposing a higher burden on the ECB to act as “the only game in town”. It has even bigger implications for the long-term investment opportunities and economic performance of the EU. This calls for a renewed approach and narrative on the CMU to gather political support to move forward. This document was provided by the Economic Governance and EMU Scrutiny Unit at the request of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 30 September 2024

Banking Market Integration in Europe and Insolvency Law EN

22-09-2024 760.260 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : Despite considerable progress towards a Banking Union in the euro area, banks in the EU continue to be subject to widely varying insolvency law as applied to their lending customers. This paper provides evidence that bank interest margins tend to be higher in countries with weaker loan enforcement. Higher bank interest margins are a sign of less efficient bank intermediation, and hence the evidence of this paper suggests that bank intermediation is less efficient in countries with weaker loan enforcement. This policy-induced national variability in bank efficiency is incompatible with banking union.

The ECB’s Monetary Policy Stance in Perspective EN

Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : In this paper, different assessments of the ECB’s monetary policy stance are reviewed, beyond the mere observation of the sharp rise and subsequent decline of the policy rate. Overall, the monetary policy stance has been more moderate during the tightening cycle than what has been indicated by the policy rate increase. However, following the decline in energy prices, this past and relatively mild restrictive policy stance poses a risk to economic activity.

CRR/CRD: The delegated act on the date of application of the own funds requirements for market EN

19-09-2024 764.190 ECON
Briefing
Samenvatting : The CRR 3/CRD 6 package constitutes the final phase in the implementation of the internationally agreed finalised Basel 3 prudential requirements for banks into the EU financial services acquis. In particular, the CRR 3 introduces the revised market risk requirements as binding own fund requirements. These requirements were introduced in the CRR 2 only as reporting requirements. However, at the time of the adoption of the CRR 3 it was not clear how and whether other major jurisdictions will apply the finalised market risk framework. Therefore, co-legislators mandated the Commission to monitor possible differences in the international implementation of the market risk framework and, in case of ‘significant differences’, empowered the Commission to postpone the application of the capital requirements for market risk for up to two years or to introduce temporary amendments to CRR 3 market risk requirements in the form of capital multipliers or targeted operational relief measures (Art. 461a CRR). On 24 July 2024, the Commission adopted a delegated act (DA) postponing the date of application of the market risk framework by one year to 1 January 2026.

While highlighting how litigation has clarified processes, rights, and the criteria for resolution, the study’s findings underscore the need for heightened scrutiny of agencies to prevent political interference and ensure effective oversight.

From Aggressive Rate Hikes to Gradual Easing: The ECB’s Evolving Monetary Policy Stance Amidst Persistent Services Price Pressures EN

17-09-2024 760.252 ECON
Uitgebreide analyse
Samenvatting : The ECB’s interest rate hikes since 2022 aimed to curb inflation by tightening financial conditions and dampening aggregate demand. While price pressures for food and goods have eased, persistent inflation in the services sector remains a key concern. Although the ECB is expected to gradually ease its restrictive stance by 2025, inflation challenges could re-emerge. The ECB should be careful not to undermine its commitment to price stability by loosening monetary policy too aggressively.

Samenvatting : Since the inception of the Banking Union numerous decisions of the CJEU have been issued. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of some of the key decisions on the legal framework established 10 years ago, showing how they have been instrumental in supporting a centralised and integrated model of banking supervision at the EU level. In that context, the SSM could represent an example of a truly integrated EU legislative system, with a proper institutional balance.
