With the new unexpected budgetary needs, the MFF 2021-2027 is reaching the limits of its flexibility. It is important to make sure that the common borrowing under the NGEU will be paid through the EU’s own resources and not by cutting the budget funding, says Johan Van Overtveldt, Chair of BUDG committee, in the latest MH newsletter. The studies on the revision of the Financial Regulation and on the new EU own resources provide important background information when assessing the policy choices.
Management of unpredictable crises, such as Ukraine or COVID-19, challenging public safety and health or the stability of a society’s socio-economic foundations, requires rapid decisions, says Antonio Tajani, Chair of AFCO committee in the latest MH editorial. In order to draw lessons from past urgency situations, Parliament commissioned a new study to provide recommendations on how to improve the existing set-up and Parliament’s emergency procedures.
The number of farms in EU27 declined by about 32% between 2003 and 2016. The EU might lose an additional 6.4 million farms by 2040, a decrease which poses an existential challenge to the multifunctional European farming model, says AGRI chair Norbert Lins in the latest MH editorial. The EU farming model is key to transition to a sustainable food system that ensures food security while having a neutral or positive environmental impact.
Digital marketing makes it difficult to differentiate between advertisers and reviewers and blurs the nature of relationship between the influencers and the companies whose products they promote, says IMCO Chair Anna Cavazzini in the latest issue of the Monthly Highlights bulletin. The Committee commissioned a study, which focuses on defining influencers and their impact on consumers and on the single market.
We can learn a lot from places that have been forced to set up strong defence systems against interference from powerful authoritarian neighbours, says INGE Chair Raphaël Glucksmann in the opening article of the latest Monthly Highlights as committee’s mandate draws to an end. INGE commissioned a paper to analyse the defensive tactics used outside the EU which highlights the best practices and suggests how these could be translated to the EU reality.
BUDG and CONT are the acronyms behind two parliamentary committees dealing with budgetary issues. Monika Hohlmeier and Johan Van Overtveldt, Chairs of Committee on Budgetary Control and Committee on Budgets, respectively, present the two committees in the latest edition of the Monthly Highlights newsletter.
