In November 2023, the European Commission presented a proposal to reinforce the role of Europol, the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, in the fight against migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings.

Briefing 11-03-2024

European Union lawmakers reached a political agreement on the draft artificial intelligence (AI) act in December 2023. Proposed by the European Commission in April 2021, the draft AI act, the first binding worldwide horizontal regulation on AI, sets a common framework for the use and supply of AI systems in the EU. It offers a classification for AI systems with different requirements and obligations tailored on a 'risk-based approach'. Some AI systems presenting 'unacceptable' risks are prohibited ...

Protecting victims of terrorism is an essential part of the EU's efforts to address all dimensions of the terrorist threat. In response to the attacks that have hit Europe over the past two decades, the EU has strengthened its rules and sanctions relating to terrorist activities. Ongoing EU action seeks to ...

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).

Après trois cycles de négociations interinstitutionnelles, le Parlement et le Conseil sont parvenus, le 12 décembre 2023, à un accord ...
