The European Union stepped up its action in the area of health – a shared competence between the EU and its Member States – in response to the COVID 19 pandemic. Yet, the EU lacks a joint health policy that recognises health as a public good. This study investigates three areas where there is high added-value potential from a joint EU health policy: research and development; the availability of prescription medicines; and preventive healthcare. EU action in these areas could generate benefits for ...

Globale udfordringer, herunder klimaforandringerne, geopolitiske konflikter, udhuling af demokratiske principper og sociale ulighe der, påvirker borgernes dagligdag og fremtidsudsigter. En kollektiv europæisk indsats over de næste 10 år vil kunne bidrage til at tackle disse udfordringer – og give fordele til en værdi vkjfdrikljsehtdripeagrhty af op til 3 billioner € om året. Dette udgør ca. 18 % af EU's bruttonationalprodukt (BNP), hvilket svarer til 6 700 € pr. borger hvert år. Vores forskning har ...

This European added value assessment (EAVA) seeks to inform the European Parliament's legislative initiative 2023/2184(INL) entitled 'Promotion of the freedom of scientific research in the EU'. Freedom of scientific research forms an integral part of academic freedom, and this study confirms the de facto erosion of academic freedom, including its underlying conditions, across the EU. It also identifies new forms of threat, such as the role of new technologies, use of strategic lawsuits, increasing ...

This study has been drawn up by the European Added Value Unit within the European Parliament's Directorate-General for Parliamentary Research Services. It is part of a research project to better define the concepts of the cost of non-Europe and of European added value. The study recounts the development of these concepts and specifically how they have been used to support the European Parliament's work in setting the legislative agenda. It also presents their theoretical underpinnings and the main ...

Common foreign and security policy (CFSP) has a particular status in the EU legal framework, part of which is the unanimity rule within the Council. This report analyses decision-making rules in CFSP from a 'cost of non-Europe' perspective. It identifies CFSP challenges and the extent to which they could be attributed to unanimity. This allows us to identify the current 'cost of unanimity'. The report also analyses possible alternatives to unanimity decision-making in CFSP, such as a switch to qualified ...

Selv om europæisk integration er en vigtig drivkraft for vækst, fred, miljøbeskyttelse og social velstand, er der fortsat vedvarende udfordringer, og der kan forventes potentielle kriser. Ser man fremad, står mange veje åbne for Europa. Europa-Parlamentet går ind for en ambitiøs fælles EU-indsats med potentiale til at skabe betydelige gevinster, ikke kun i dag, men også i forskellige mulige fremtidige scenarier. Dette er et uddrag af en undersøgelse, der har til formål at hjælpe Europa-Parlamentet ...

This 'cost of non-Europe' report looks at the potential benefits of efficient, ambitious and united EU-level action in the space sector. The report finds that to enable the European space sector to benefit from open strategic autonomy, and to ensure EU access to and use of space, including for its security, the EU must act decisively. Moving away from fragmentation could bring large benefits, amounting to at least €140 billion per year by 2050.

Corruption poses a significant threat in the European Union and can contribute towards an erosion of democracy and the rule of law, especially during times of crisis. The European Union can do more to tackle corruption and curb its negative impacts on society. This report presents a quantitative analysis of the potential gains from further EU action to tackle corruption, estimating that it could generate up to €58.5 billion per year. Other gains could also be expected in terms of reinforcing democracy ...

Without effective coordination of fiscal policies and active supervision of external and internal imbalances, significant negative spillover effects can occur between Member States participating in economic and monetary union and across the EU more widely. A credible fiscal framework and related rules should therefore be designed and enforced, to ensure that Member States pursue sound public finance policies that keep deficits within the range where financing can be secured. This approach, coordinated ...
