Depuis 1992, l’Union européenne n’a de cesse de chercher à créer les conditions propices à l’amélioration de la croissance et de la compétitivité de l’industrie à travers sa politique industrielle. L’industrie européenne reste un pilier de l’économie. Elle génère un emploi sur cinq et est responsable de l’essentiel des exportations et des investissements de l’Union dans la recherche et l’innovation. Aujourd’hui, l’objectif de la politique de l’Union est de permettre une transition réussie vers une ...

La présente étude est une analyse des interactions entre les structures des échanges européens et régionaux et les tendances dans le secteur manufacturier européen d’une part, et de l’influence des facteurs de compétitivité industriels et régionaux sur le commerce et les évolutions industrielles d’autre part. Cette étude examine en particulier des théories sur les facteurs qui expliquent la spécialisation commerciale et l’incidence du commerce sur la croissance et les inégalités, et les relie à la ...

The digitalisation of manufacturing industry, i.e. employing in depth digital technologies for the performance of good production raises additional cybersecurity questions. Currently EU cybersecurity policies are mainly targeting network security and large infrastructures of public interest, with little emphasis on the needs of a digitised industry. Still, recent policy developments do provide framework of possibly covering these needs.

Les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) représentent 99 % des entreprises et emploient deux salariés sur trois en Europe. Certaines sont des entreprises à forte croissance qui génèrent un nombre disproportionnellement élevé de nouveaux emplois. Néanmoins, les PME sont souvent confrontées à des obstacles spécifiques en raison de leur petite taille, et ces obstacles peuvent entraver leur potentiel de croissance. Les principales initiatives récentes entreprises en faveur de la croissance des PME européennes ...

Trade policies have different impacts on different groups of women and men. Carefully assessing the likely gender implications of specific trade agreements is therefore essential to ensure that both women and men benefit from the gains from liberalisation and are adequately protected from its negative effects. This study, commissioned by the European Parliament Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs upon request by the FEMM Committee, reviews evidence and makes recommendations ...

Global Trendometer

Étude 06-10-2016

With the publication of this inaugural edition of the "Global Trendometer," the EPRS Global Trends Unit seeks to contribute to the process of identifying and addressing medium- and long-term trends, and their possible implications for policy-making in the European Union. Three essays and eight two-page vignettes on different geopolitical, economic, technological and social issues paint a broad-ranging picture of developments that may shape Europe’s future.  

In September 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency claimed that Volkswagen had installed illegal software on some of its diesel vehicles, to modify emissions of certain air pollutants. Subsequently, the company has been the subject of legal action brought by consumers, investors, non-governmental organisations and government agencies. In many cases, the plaintiffs have gathered their actions together into collective (or class action) complaints. In the United States, complaints ...

The European Engineering industry, by far the biggest exporter of goods to the US, suffers from a range of TBTs (Technical Barriers to Trade) when exporting to the US. After two decades of trying – in vain - to reduce the costs of these TBTs, TTIP should address them, yielding significant economic gains. US standards, relevant for US safety regulation, are very rarely international standards from ISO and IEC, in sharp contrast with the EU. This is costly for EU exporters. Conformity assessment issues ...

The Monthly Highlights publication provides an overview, at a glance, of the on-going work of the policy departments, including a selection of the latest and forthcoming publications, and a list of future events.

This study, provided by the Policy Department A at the request of the Industry, Research and Energy Committee (ITRE), aims to assess whether and to which extent European energy markets and manufacturing industries would be affected by the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Although the negotiations are currenly on-going, the analysis shows that the TTIP will improve the EU’s security of energy supply through adding liquidity and competition to the natural gas market. The TTIP ...
