The Commission will support the establishment of a Common European agriculture data space, to enhance the sustainability performance and competitiveness of the agricultural sector through the processing and analysis of production and other data, allowing for precise and tailored application of production approaches at farm level.
This document discusses potential reforms to the EU budget and Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) spending for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). Key points include:
- The CAP currently accounts for 38% of the EU budget, with most spending going to direct payments and rural development.
- Direct payments benefit large farms the most and their value is often capitalized into increased land values, providing little European value added.
- Reforms proposed include introducing co-financing for Pillar 1 payments, limiting large payments, and allocating some funds competitively to incentivize ambitious environmental and social programs.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry organized a Finnish-Swedish Forest Friends Forever Conference in Hanaholmen, Espoo on 17-18 April. The purpose of the conference was to thank Sweden for the gift in honour of Finland’s 100 years of independence and to further enhance Finnish-Swedish cooperation in research and innovation and in forest policy.

The document discusses the EU Raw Materials Initiative and ongoing EPA negotiations between the EU and Africa. It notes the EU's strategy to secure access to critical raw materials involves trade agreements, while African countries want policy space for industrial development. Potential responses discussed are keeping negotiations at the WTO, excluding certain exports from EPAs, and allowing temporary export restrictions for development needs. It also outlines upcoming meetings that could provide opportunities to move the EPA discussions forward.

tew (10.10.18) - Towards new distribution tariffs in ukraineДенис Киркач
The document discusses improving the methodology for setting gas distribution grid tariffs in Ukraine. It outlines the objectives of the project which include developing an improved methodology compliant with EU directives, an excel model to calculate tariffs, and identifying obstacles to implementation. The methodology would cover rules for determining allowed revenue, tariff elements, allocation of revenue, and tariff calculation. Key issues to consider include network characteristics, user behavior, cost accounting, efficiency, and investment needs. The work will involve examining legislation, financial and technical data, developing the methodology and tool, and finalizing for approval by the regulator by end of 2018.
The impact of Brexit on climate and energy policyRichard Tol
The UK has decided to leave the EU but maintain its climate targets. However, three central planks of UK climate policy, emission permit trade, interconnection, and nuclear power, depend on the EU. This paper discusses the implications of Brexit for climate policy.
1) Implementation of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) could result in annual losses for Ukrainian businesses of up to €396 million by 2026-2030 from reduced exports and carbon costs, decreasing Ukraine's GDP by up to 0.08% per year.
2) Key impacted industries include electricity (up to €122 million annual losses), steel (up to €248 million), chemicals (up to €25 million), and cement (up to €3.5 million). Reduced exports and carbon costs under CBAM could decrease Ukrainian steel exports to the EU by 9% and chemicals by 38% by 2030.

This document summarizes greenhouse gas emission data from 1990 to 2005 reported by countries to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It finds that emissions from industrialized countries remained below 1990 levels over this period, with a 3-5% reduction for countries to the Convention and a 15% reduction for countries that ratified the Kyoto Protocol. Emissions grew slowly after 2000 but need attention. The data provides a basis for monitoring emissions reductions required under the Kyoto Protocol from 2008-2012.

Strengthening Cohesion in the EU: the role of Structural Reforms.Robin Huguenot-Noël
Today, we published a new EPC study commissioned by the European Parliament on 'Strengthening Cohesion in the EU: How can Structural Reforms contribute?".
The presentation provides a comprehensive summary of our main findings. The full study (including the Executive Summary) is available at the following link: www.epc.eu/pub_details.php?cat_id=17&pub_id=8772
This document presents a research project that aims to analyze whether and to what extent the European Commission has become "governmentalized" between 1994 and 2014 in response to the European economic crisis. It outlines hypotheses about factors that could explain an increase in the Commission's powers, structures, and resources for economic governance. The researchers plan to test these hypotheses by surveying officials and conducting interviews to understand how the Commission's role has changed in areas like economic policy coordination, fiscal surveillance, and financial assistance programs. The goal is to determine if the crisis resulted in a "critical juncture" that substantially increased the Commission's powers and abilities as a core executive body for the European economy.

The document is a statistical report published by Eurostat in 2013 that analyzes indicators related to the Europe 2020 strategy. It presents trends in the Europe 2020 headline indicators between 2005-2011 and finds:
- The EU employment rate increased until 2008 but declined in 2009 due to the economic crisis, remaining stagnant around 68.5% until 2012 and off track from the 2020 target of 75%.
- Gross expenditure on research and development remained around 1.8% of GDP until 2007-2008 but increased slightly to around 2% from 2009-2011, still below the 2020 target of 3%.
- Greenhouse gas emissions declined slightly between 2005-2011 but need to continue decreasing to meet the 2020 target of a 20% reduction

This document discusses the need for and potential forms of further fiscal union in the Eurozone. It makes the following key points:
1) While significant progress has been made in fiscal coordination and crisis management since 1997, the current framework is still not delivering and is not credible.
2) More fiscal union could take the form of strengthened rules and enforcement, more symmetry between deficit and surplus countries, a stabilization fund, and an expanded role for the ESM.
3) However, the perceived need for reform may not have changed significantly since 2016. While populism and Euroskepticism get attention, polls show stable or rising support for EU membership and the euro. Most citizens support further integration if reforms address unemployment
Strengthening Medium-Term Budgetary Frameworks in EU Member States - Michal H...OECD Governance
This presentation was made by Michal Horvath, York University, at the 8th meeting of Parliamentary Budget Officials and Independent Fiscal Institutions held in Paris on 11-12 April 2016.
The document summarizes the current use and structure of EU regional funds, outlines the process and timeline for developing the future EU regional policy strategy, and presents initial positions on the future of the policy. The main funds are the ERDF, ESF, and Cohesion Fund, which are allocated based on GDP per capita. Key debates around the future policy focus on improving use of local resources, concentrating on priorities like innovation and climate change, and simplifying management. Positions varied but most saw a need for the policy to remain balanced across regions while addressing budget constraints.
European Elections - MEPs and Constituent CommunicationFTI Consulting FR
The EU is going through an existential crisis. Support for the EU is at an all-time low across a swathe of Member States. The campaigns for the forthcoming European Parliament elections (22-25 May) have represented an important opportunity for current and candidate MEPs to explain to citizens what the EU is and does, and the benefits of membership. But has that opportunity been squandered? FTI Consulting examine the results of some proprietary research conducted at how successful MEPs have been in communicating about the EU in the run up to the elections.
Europe 2020 Competitiveness Report 2014 _ Caroline GalvanCaroline Galvan
This document summarizes the Europe 2020 Competitiveness Report, which analyzes competitiveness and productivity trends in Europe. It finds that Europe trails the US and Japan in areas important for smart and inclusive growth like innovation and the labor market. There are also large divergences between EU member states. The report structures its analysis around the seven pillars of the Europe 2020 strategy and provides country competitiveness scores. It concludes with key messages on closing innovation divides, governance, and investing in knowledge to boost both innovation and inclusion.
This document provides an introduction to the publication "The EU in the world 2014". It describes Eurostat as the statistical office of the EU and explains its role in developing harmonized statistics across member states. It then introduces the Group of Twenty (G20) which includes the EU and 15 other major global economies. The publication aims to provide statistics comparing the EU to these other G20 members. It describes the structure and coverage of the publication and notes key topics like children and youth are featured across several chapters.

12 June 2014, Berlaymont Building, Room WHALL (Rue de la Loi 200, 1049 Bruxelles, Belgium)
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.
The European Union consists of 28 member countries with over 500 million citizens. It was established after World War 2 to promote peace and prosperity in Europe. Key institutions that govern the EU include the European Parliament, European Council, and European Commission. The EU works to establish policies in areas like trade, agriculture, immigration and more for the benefit of its citizens and member states.
The document discusses the evolving objectives and strategies of EU regional policy. It notes that the objectives of regional policy have changed over time based on different development theories, starting from growth pole and center-periphery theories to newer focuses on issues like innovation, human capital, and sustainable growth. The strategies and funds used to achieve regional policy goals have also undergone constant mutation, but have been hampered by a complex system and budget paralysis. National strategies are seen as crucial but often suboptimal in effectively using funds and accountability. Upcoming budget reforms aim to better align regional policy with current priority issues like energy and R&D while improving oversight.

The 2016 OECD Economic Survey of the European Union and Euro Area finds that while macroeconomic policies have become more supportive, demand remains weak and unemployment is very high. It recommends that countries with fiscal space boost growth through budget support, and that monetary policy stay accommodative. It also suggests speeding up the resolution of non-performing loans, promoting non-bank financing, increasing public investment, reducing regulatory burdens, and enhancing labor mobility through increased recognition of qualifications and portability of pensions. Structural reforms across these areas could significantly increase EU GDP.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
