The document is a 2015 report on Albania from the European Commission. It summarizes that Albania made some progress towards fulfilling political criteria for EU membership, including holding local elections and improving parliamentary transparency. However, concerns remain about electoral authorities and more work is needed for constructive cross-party dialogue. Albania also made progress on public administration reform but needs to strengthen local government. The judiciary remains at an early stage and justice reform is crucial. Corruption remains widespread and organized crime prosecution needs to increase. Overall, Albania continued EU alignment but substantial efforts are still required across many areas to strengthen governance and the rule of law.
- Tax systems within the European Union are highly divergent, with corporate tax rates ranging from 12% in Ireland to 33% in France and Belgium.
- France has higher nominal tax rates and narrower tax bases compared to other EU countries, resulting in high tax burdens. Ireland has lower overall tax burdens with a strong reliance on direct taxes like income tax.
- Ireland's 12.5% corporate tax rate has helped attract significant foreign direct investment, though economists disagree on its overall impact on Ireland's growth. France finances higher public services through taxes.
The document provides an overview of the history and key aspects of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. Some key points:
- The GDPR was adopted in 2016 and replaced the 1995 Data Protection Directive, establishing a single set of rules on data protection and privacy across the EU.
- It aims to strengthen and unify data protection for individuals within the EU, as well as address the export of personal data outside the EU.
- The GDPR defines personal data and processing, and establishes six legal bases for processing personal data, including consent.
- It gives individuals various rights over their personal data, such as access, rectification, erasure, and data portability
The tax-to-GDP ratio in the EU was stable at 40.0% in 2015. There was variation between Member States, with the highest ratios in France (47.9%), Denmark (47.6%), and Belgium (47.5%). Taxes on production and imports made up the largest share of tax revenue in the EU (13.6% of GDP). The tax-to-GDP ratio increased the most in Lithuania (29.4% in 2015) and Estonia (34.1%).

The swiss healthcare system without the health care financesRafael Rodriguez
The document summarizes key aspects of Switzerland's healthcare system. It outlines that the system is governed by the 1996 Health Insurance Law (LAMal) which mandates universal basic health insurance coverage. It describes the basic insurance package that covers hospital stays, outpatient care, nursing care, and other services. Supplementary private insurance can provide additional benefits. Healthcare is provided through independent general practitioners, specialists, and public or private hospitals. Insurers must provide basic policies and premiums are regulated, though deductibles and premium costs still vary between plans and regions.

Implementing acts are used to confer powers on the Commission to adopt uniform implementing rules, while deleg
This document compares corporate governance and public governance at the European level. It discusses how both fields aim to restore trust and enable participation through transparency, checks on decision-making, and stakeholder input. However, corporate governance focuses on profitability while public governance aims for cohesion. Still, modern democracy and companies both require representation of economic and social interests. The document also notes calls for corporate governance to address short-termism and how public governance could improve European citizenship and responsible lobbying.
The document provides information about Switzerland across several topics. It includes statistics about Switzerland's land, labor force, education system, healthcare system, taxation, banking and finance, intellectual property laws, and competition laws. Switzerland has a highly skilled labor force, universal healthcare coverage, and strong intellectual property protection. Its banking sector, stock exchange, and insurance industry are major contributors to the economy.

The document discusses the governance of the Belgian social security system. It outlines several key principles: social protection varies by professional category and social risk; there is shared responsibility and management between agencies; and the financial system was replaced with a global one. The agencies have management boards composed of government, union, and employer representatives. Performance agreements define outputs and budgets for agencies over 3-5 year periods. The central department supports policy, coordinates between agencies, and oversees governance, social indicators, and tackling fraud across the social protection system. Conclusions emphasize trusting and following up on agency results and processes.

PSI in Europe – The Road(s) Ahead! Action plan 3: Legal, business and other i...Michael Fanning
This document summarizes a meeting about public sector information (PSI) in Europe and the road ahead. Various actors were discussed in the legal and business information sectors regarding PSI re-use. For legal information, some reported growth in revenues from PSI re-use in the hundreds of percent, while service providers saw revenues double since 2002. However, most PSI holders offer legislative information for free online, but most re-users source it from web portals only occasionally and many were dissatisfied. For business information, annual financial statements were discussed and initiatives for business register interoperability. Harmonizing company law and electronic filing, not re-use, were identified as the main drivers of change. Other PSI discussed
IFIs & fiscal transparency - Michal HORVATH, York UniversityOECD Governance
This document discusses independent fiscal institutions (IFIs) in the EU and their role in promoting fiscal transparency. It finds that while IFIs have increased transparency in some countries by improving forecasting and reducing information asymmetry, their effectiveness varies significantly. Some IFIs lack resources and interaction with governments, while others have had more visible impacts. For IFIs to be truly effective, governments need to provide sufficient funding, access to information, and respond constructively to IFI recommendations, though compliance is mixed among EU members. Overall IFIs and fiscal transparency are closely linked, and a government's support for a well-resourced IFI indicates its commitment to budget transparency.
The document discusses the introduction of e-governance programs at the University of Bologna Law Faculty. It provides an overview of the CIRSFID research center, its courses in legal informatics and ICT law, and its undergraduate and graduate programs in computer science and law and e-governance. It then outlines the agenda for a workshop on organizing e-governance module content using a wiki platform.
This document discusses citizens' power to hold public institutions accountable through participation in decision making. It describes SIGMA as a joint OECD-EU initiative that helps countries strengthen governance. Public administration is important for the EU accession process though not a formal chapter. Policy tools like impact assessments and consultation are emphasized as mechanisms for accountability and public input. Open policy making, data sharing and framing of issues can impact decisions and unintended consequences may arise, so participation is key.
This document summarizes Matthias Witt's comments on the design and application of fiscal rules. It discusses Germany's struggles with fiscal rules, the importance of embedding rules in political and legal enforcement processes, and the potential for fiscal rules to break debt cycles in developing countries. Witt notes Germany has had difficulty limiting deficits during economic booms due to its rule design. He argues fiscal rules must be transparent, understandable, and tied to strict enforcement to be effective. The document also outlines some promising examples of fiscal rules in middle-income Latin American countries and recommends considering rules for similar contexts.

After Demonstrating that Housing First Works in Canada, What’s Next?FEANTSA
This document summarizes a research conference on Housing First programs for the homeless with mental illness. It discusses the At Home/Chez Soi project, the largest Housing First study in the world conducted across 5 Canadian cities. Interim results found Housing First reduced health system costs and increased housing stability. Efforts were made to promote sustainability after funding ended through negotiations. Current priorities are the project transition and disseminating findings to scale up Housing First nationally through toolkits and partnerships. Housing First is now a major policy shift in Canada with renewed homelessness funding and the Mental Health Commission's advisory role on implementation.
Institutional Requirements for Gender-Sensitive BudgetingDr Lendy Spires
Background German development cooperation supports gender equality and the specific promotion of women in developing countries. Commitments to this can be found in both the Concept on Gender Equality (2001) and the Gender Action Plan 2009-2012 of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).1 However, successfully implementing a focused gender pol- icy depends not only on political recognition and the resul- tant commitments at government level. Increased public debate about gender policy also depends on successful lobby- ing by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and a clearly articulated interest on the part of the media and academia. Beyond that, successful implementation of a policy promoting gender equality and women requires funding. A country’s annual budget demonstrates whether the state is willing to allocate the available funds in line with these goals. Given the relevance of gender in a wide range of issues, responsibility is divided among a number of actors. Even so, the ministry charged with promoting gender and women’s issues2 – or a comparable institution – can play an important role at the start of the budget process. Depending on the institutional and procedural design of the budget process, the ministry can encourage a distribu- tion of public funds that will promote gender equality and women even in the very early stages of budget planning. The assumptions presented below show basic approaches to assigning this role to the gender ministry, both by strengthening the ministry vis-à-vis the finance ministry and by positioning it with regard to other sectoral ministries. Finally, possibilities are shown for supporting the reform processes through appropriate capacity development measures. The significance of various actors and their interaction in the budget process Various actors play a role in shaping the budget.3 Overall responsibility for planning, drawing up and implement- ing the national budget lies with the finance ministry. It coordinates the budget process and is ultimately responsible for the appropriate disbursement of public funds. In doing so the integration of sectoral strategies into the budget is a relatively minor concern for the finance ministry, as long as budgetary and legal provisions are satisfied. Conversely, implementation of political strategies in a sectoral budget is the task of the sectoral ministries.

The document discusses the implementation of the EU Public Sector Information (PSI) Directive in Germany through the Information Reuse Act (IWG). It provides an overview of PSI markets and developments in Germany, noting challenges around locating PSI due to a lack of coordinated directories across authorities. Practical arrangements to facilitate access to PSI are loosely linked to the IWG, with authorities mainly responsible for their own information.

The principal-agent model and the network theory as framework for administrat...Amaury Legrain
Coordinating a cluster of independent agencies is not easy to do, given the many factors that must be taken into account. Nevertheless, certain theories can offer a sufficient basis to structure inter-organizational relations within the public sector. When speaking about "guidance of agencies", most scientists and even public managers immediately think of the agency theory and its corollary, the principal-agent model. This is, in fact, the theoretical model that was used as the groundwork for all administrative reforms in the last two decades. Nevertheless, another theory may be taking over this dominant position: the network theory.
