Die Palästinensische Exekutivbehörde (oder Palästinensische Behörde) ist das Leitungsgremium der autonomen palästinensischen Regionen Westjordanland und Gazastreifen, das 1994 im Rahmen des zwischen Israel und der Palästinensischen Befreiungsorganisation (PLO) abgeschlossenen Friedensabkommens von Oslo gegründet wurde. Die Beziehungen zwischen der Palästinensischen Behörde und Israel sind besonders angespannt, insbesondere seit dem Amtsantritt der neuen israelischen Regierung im Dezember 2022. Die ...

Während die wirtschaftspolitische Steuerung in der EU heute über einen regulierten zwingenden Rahmen durch¬geführt wird, gibt es für die sozialpolitische Steue¬rung keinen vergleichbaren Rahmen. Die sozialpoliti¬sche Steuerung findet sich vor allem in den nicht zwingenden unregulierten Politikbereichen, es gelten jedoch auch einige zwingende politische Steuerungs¬mechanismen. Diese Veröffentlichung soll einen Über¬blick über die sozialen Aspekte der politischen Steue¬rung in der EU bieten. Sie enthält ...

In early research on land grabbing, the initial focus was on foreign companies investing abroad, with a particular focus on those based in countries such as China, Gulf States, South Korea, and India. In recent years, it has become evident that the range of countries land investors originate in is far broader, and includes both North Atlantic - and EU-based actors. In this study, we offer both quantitative and qualitative data illustrating the involvement of EU-based corporate and financial entities ...

This report provides factual background information about IOPS, the EU’s role ...

This paper forms part of a series of nine studies on the role of the European Union in International economic fora, prepared by Policy Department A at the request of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. International Financial Reporting Standards define the rules for corporate accounting and are set by a private standard setter: the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The EU has no formal role in developing these standards, but de facto endorses them ex post. This raises questions ...

In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sowohl die Anzahl als auch der politische Einfluss zivilgesellschaftlicher Organisationen (Civil Society Organisations, CSO) – ein Begriff, mit dem alle Arten kollektiver Organisationen erfasst werden, die nicht unter den öffentlichen oder den Wirtschaftssektor fallen – in der EU und auch auf nationaler Ebene zugenommen. Daher müssen CSO beweisen, dass sie die Ressourcen, die ihnen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, in effizienter, verantwortlicher und transparenter Weise ...

Freedom of expression and information, as well as the freedom of the press, which provides the most powerful platform for the first two, contribute significantly to the formation of public opinion, thus allowing people to make informed choices in their political decisions. These freedoms are therefore essential for democracy, which is one of the fundamental values common to all Member States, on which the European Union is founded (Article 2 TEU). Within the EU legal framework, press freedom is a ...

The Open Method of Coordination

Auf einen Blick 19-10-2014

The EU response to the 2008 economic crisis, which has exposed the weaknesses of the EU economic governance of the time, has resulted in a debate on how to find a balance between intergovernmentalism and supranational actions within the EU framework, bringing into question further use of soft intergovernmental methods, such as the Open Method of Coordination (OMC). In addition to that, with social and education issues increasingly gaining attention in the EU, OMC, one of the governance instruments ...

In 2003, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) was launched as a voluntary multi-stakeholder initiative for the extractive industries, bringing together governments, industry and civil society. Its main objective has been to create a global transparency standard which allows light to be shed on all payments made by extractive-industry companies to governments of resource-rich developing countries, and to cross-check all revenues received by these governments from the industry.
