En réponse aux demandes répétées du Parlement européen en faveur de règles communes à l’échelle de l’Union pour faciliter les activités transfrontières des organisations à but non lucratif, la Commission a proposé une directive relative aux associations transfrontalières européennes (ATE). Le Parlement devrait mettre aux voix le rapport que sa commission des affaires juridiques (JURI) a présenté sur cette proposition au cours de la période de session de mars.

Presented as part of the 'SME relief package', the initiative aims to tighten the EU's late payment framework and improve its enforcement. It proposes, among other things, to convert the current Late Payment Directive into a regulation, a move that several national parliaments contested. National parliaments also raised subsidiarity and proportionality concerns on several provisions. The impact assessment (IA) adequately justifies the need to revise the late payment framework, and substantiates the ...

Les contrats de travaux et de services conclus par les pouvoirs publics représentent un volume d’échanges de 2 448 milliards d’euros dans l’Union, ce qui fait des marchés publics un moteur essentiel de la croissance économique, de la création d’emplois et de l’innovation.

Le droit européen des sociétés est partiellement codifié dans la directive (UE) 2017/1132, et les États membres continuent ainsi d’appliquer leurs propres lois sur les sociétés, qu’ils modifient en tant que de besoin pour se conformer aux directives et aux règlements de l’Union. Les efforts actuellement déployés pour mettre en place un droit et un cadre de gouvernance modernes et efficaces pour les sociétés européennes, les investisseurs et les salariés ont pour but d’améliorer l’environnement des ...

Cette étude traite des demandes transfrontières de restitution d’oeuvres d’art pillées au regard des pillages coloniaux et des oeuvres d’art spoliées par les nazis, mais aussi des pertes culturelles plus récentes causées par le commerce illicite. Malgré les différences notables qui distinguent les cas de figure envisagés, ceux-ci présentent des similarités. L’étude met en évidence les angles morts des cadres juridique et politique et propose des recommandations pour y remédier. La présente étude ...

This study – commissioned by the Policy Department C at the request of the Committee on Legal Affairs – aims at discussing the reasons why the law chosen in commercial contracts is largely non-European and non-member state law. To do so, it first provides an overview of the relevant academic and policy efforts underwent to formulate a European contract law. Then it moves on to touch upon a broad spectrum of matters emerging both from international reports on the adjudication and the functioning of ...

The fishing sector is facing major challenges in the accelerating energy crisis, owing to its high dependency on the stable supply of fossil fuels at low prices. This report reviews the literature on drivers of energy use, identifies potential reduction measures and provides an overview of opportunities for using alternative fuels in the fishing sector. Each measure is evaluated in terms of greenhouse gas emission reduction potential and costs, and challenges and policy options that could facilitate ...

The impact assessment (IA) accompanying the proposal on corporate sustainability due diligence received two negative opinions from the Commission's Regulatory Scrutiny Board. Additional evidence was provided in a follow-up document to the Board's second opinion, explaining how the IA's preferred options were revised in the proposal, but no change was made to the IA itself. The IA cannot therefore be read without this follow-up document. It also makes the analysis quite difficult to follow, as evidence ...
