The NIS2 Directive: A high common level of cybersecurity in the EU

infrastrutture critiche | sicurezza europea | studio d'impatto
Riassunto The Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive is the first piece of EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity, and its
specific aim was to achieve a high common level of cybersecurity across the Member States. While it increased the
Member States' cybersecurity capabilities, its implementation proved difficult, resulting in fragmentation at different
levels across the internal market. To respond to the growing threats posed with digitalisation and the surge in cyber-
attacks, the Commission has submitted a proposal to replace the NIS Directive and thereby strengthen the security
requirements, address the security of supply chains, streamline reporting obligations, and introduce more stringent
supervisory measures and stricter enforcement requirements, including harmonised sanctions across the EU. The
proposed expansion of the scope covered by the NIS2, by effectively obliging more entities and sectors to take
measures, would assist in increasing the level of cybersecurity in Europe in the longer term. Within the European
Parliament, the file has been assigned to the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy. The committee adopted
its report on 28 October 2021, as well as a mandate to enter into interinstitutional negotiations.

Riassunto The IA underpinning the proposal for a Digital services act contains a lot of valuable information and is based on solid
sources and broad consultations. However, the analysis could have been more coherent in its problem definition and
more specific regarding the practical implementation of the assessed three broad option packages in addition to the
status quo. It could have been also more transparent, precise and complete regarding the data and methods used for
the analysis, and regarding the quantitative estimates (namely in relation to SMEs). Some important information, for
instance on liability rules or other elements of digital services, would have been useful in the main text instead of the
annexes.

Riassunto The markets in crypto assets (MiCA) proposal intends to adapt to the latest technological trends in the FinTech sector.
The briefing analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the impact assessment (IA) accompanying the MiCA and DLT
proposals. The IA is quite technical and difficult to read for a non-expert. The policy options were compared against the
criteria of effectiveness, efficiency and coherence, but not against proportionality, which is required by the better
regulation guidelines. The preferred option is a mix of various options, and one of the preferred options is transferred
into another, new legislative proposal, i.e., on the DLT. The IA foresees cost reduction for business due to the use of
DLT, which saves costs compared to the traditional trading activities, with new entrants facing one-off costs similar to
multilateral trading facilities (MTFs).

Democratic institutions and prosperity: The benefits of an open society

Settore di interventoDemocrazia UE, diritto istituzionale e parlamentare
Parole chiave Centro comune di ricerca | consultazione pubblica | democrazia | diritti politici | governance | monocrazia | rivoluzione
industriale | società civile | sviluppo economico | trasformazione tecnologica
Riassunto The ongoing structural transformation and the rapid spread of the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution are
challenging current democratic institutions and their established forms of governance and regulation. At the same time,
these changes offer vast opportunities to enhance, strengthen and expand the existing democratic framework to reflect
a more complex and interdependent world. This process has already begun in many democratic societies but further
progress is needed. Examining these issues involves looking at the impact of ongoing complex and simultaneous
changes on the theoretical framework underpinning beneficial democratic regulation. More specifically, combining
economic, legal and political perspectives, it is necessary to explore how some adaptations to existing democratic
institutions could further improve the functioning of democracies while also delivering additional economic benefits to
citizens and society as whole. The introduction of a series of promising new tools could offer a potential way to support
democratic decision-makers in regulating complexity and tackling ongoing and future challenges. The first of these
tools is to use strategic foresight to anticipate and control future events; the second is collective intelligence, following
the idea that citizens are collectively capable of providing better solutions to regulatory problems than are public
administrations; the third and fourth are concerned with design-thinking and algorithmic regulation respectively.
Design-based approaches are credited with opening up innovative options for policy-makers, while algorithms hold the
promise of enabling decision-making to handle complex issues while remaining participatory.

Parole chiave consultazione pubblica | crisi politica | democrazia | elezioni politiche | elezioni presidenziali | nullità di una elezione |

Riassunto The mandate of the Venezuelan National Assembly, democratically elected in 2015, comes to an end on 5 January
2021; to renew it, the Maduro government called new legislative elections for 6 December 2020. While the government
tightened its grip on power to secure a favourable outcome for itself, including through the appointment of a new
electoral council, the opposition-led National Assembly presided by Juan Guaidó insisted on holding free and fair
presidential and legislative elections with recognised international observers. The main opposition parties boycotted
the 6 December elections – which were also ignored by at least 70 % of eligible voters – and held an alternative public
consultation from 7 to 12 December, which resulted in a slightly higher turnout. The opposition described the elections
as fraudulent, claiming that they had not met the minimum democratic requirements to qualify as free, fair and
transparent. This position was shared by international players such as the European Union, the United States, the
Organisation of American States and the Lima Group. Though the outlook of the Venezuelan crisis remains uncertain,
there is still hope for a negotiated solution.

Parole chiave atto congressuale | consultazione pubblica | Europa dei cittadini | futurologia | piano di sviluppo
Riassunto After the many debates and declarations of principles on the future of Europe of recent years, the time for a more
structured reflection on the future of Europe's development has arrived. The new President of the European
Commission, Ursula von der Leyen has pledged to establish a Conference on the Future of Europe, in an effort to give
new impulse to European construction and bring Europe closer to citizens. At this stage, details of this initiative are still
up for discussion. For Dubravka Šuica, the Commissioner who will take charge of the process, the inclusion of all
citizens' voices will be an essential characteristic of the Conference. However, how to ensure that European citizens
are properly represented remains to be clarified. Preparation of the Conference, in von der Leyen's approach, will
follow three steps: first, the elaboration of the concept, structure, timing and scope with Parliament and Council; then,
design of a means to ensure that citizens participate as much as possible, including by fostering online participation for
younger people; and last, making sure that appropriate follow-up is provided to the actions agreed by the Conference.
The Parliament has created a working group to contribute to the design of the Conference, in particular in respect of its
structure, with a view to a vote in plenary. Parliament's Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) has also launched
discussions, confirming the eagerness of Parliament and its political bodies to play an active part from the beginning of
this process. The Conference on the Future of Europe should be an excellent opportunity to engage in more structured
debate, with the intention to find concrete proposals to improve the way in which the EU works not only in terms of
institutional dynamics, but also of its policies. Some have however cautioned that the initiative needs to be carried out
with the utmost care, in particular on the follow-up to be given to its outcomes, so that it can remain a meaningful
endeavour.

studio d'impatto
Riassunto An employer's obligation to inform employees of the conditions applicable to their contracts is regulated by Directive
91/533/EEC. Major shifts in the labour market due to demographic trends and digitalisation, spawning a growing
number of non-standard employment relationships, have made it necessary to revise this directive. The European
Commission therefore came forward with a proposal for a directive aimed at updating and extending the information on
employment-related obligations and working conditions, and at creating new minimum standards for all employed
workers, including those on atypical contracts. In the European Parliament, the Committee for Employment and Social
Affairs (EMPL) considered the proposal and adopted a report focusing in particular on the scope, on employees'
working hours, on the conditions for making information available to them, and on employers' responsibilities.
Following trilogue negotiations, the European Parliament and the Council reached an agreement on the content of the
draft legislation. The final act was signed on 20 June 2019 and published in the Official Journal on 11 July 2019.
Member States have until 1 August 2022 to take the necessary measures to comply with the new directive. Third
edition. The ‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.

Riassunto The impact assessment provides a good overview of the problems facing EU customs cooperation that need to be
tackled after 2020, and sets out well the rationale for the new programme. However, the overall analysis is undermined
by the limited range of viable options and the absence of a proper comparison of the options and assessment of their
impacts, contrary to the Better Regulation guidelines. A more thorough assessment would have helped to better
explain the choice of the preferred option.

Riassunto Research and innovation have become indispensable elements in many areas of our daily lives, including health and
wellbeing (e.g. radiotherapy, vaccinations), the search for a sustainable environment (e.g. weather forecasts, solar
energy), safety and security (e.g. tsunami alerts, biometric border control) and end-user products (e.g. smart phones,
e-cars). Despite the correlation between research, development, innovation and competitiveness, when it comes to
international comparisons, most Member States lag behind the 'Barcelona target' to invest 3 % of national gross
domestic product (GDP) in scientific research and innovation. Better coordination of transnational research activities
and the completion of the European Research Area (ERA) could benefit the EU economy by an extra €16 billion per
year. The instruments, governance and scope of the framework programmes (FP) for research have changed
dramatically over time. These changes include the development of public-public and public-private partnerships, the
establishment of the European Research Council (ERC) and the European Institute for Innovation and Technology
(EIT), and the introduction of specific instruments for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as individual
mobility grants. To date, the current FP, Horizon 2020, has supported over 18 000 projects with more than €31 billion
in funding. Nevertheless, Horizon 2020 has shortcomings, including complex procedures, a high administrative burden,
a lack of flexibility when it comes to reacting to unforeseen circumstances, and insufficient synergies with other EU
funds and public interventions and/or private finance.

Riassunto On 18 April 2018, the European Commission proposed to the Council of the EU to sign and conclude two agreements
with Singapore. These agreements were created by dividing the free trade agreement reached between the EU and
Singapore (EUSFTA) in 2014, but not ratified, into separate trade and investment protection agreements. When
presenting the agreements, the Commission underlined that they demonstrate the commitment of Singapore and the
EU to fair trade and open markets. The Council of the EU is expected to authorise the signature of the agreements in
October 2018. The Commission aims to have the trade agreement come into effect before the end of its mandate in
2019, after its approval by the Council and the European Parliament. Singapore will be the first member state of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to sign bilateral trade and investment agreements with the EU. The
EU views bilateral agreements with ASEAN members as steps towards achieving the final objective of a region-to-
region trade and investment agreement with ASEAN. Therefore, the EU Singapore agreements are considered a
reference as regards the EU's ambition to conclude trade and investment agreements with other ASEAN members.

Riassunto The Directive on the re-use of public sector information 2013/37/EU (PSI Directive) provides a common legal
framework for a European market for public sector information. It entered into force on 17 July 2013 following a review
of the initial PSI Directive of 17 November 2003. This implementation appraisal is written in anticipation of the second
review of the directive, the plans for which are likely to be presented by the end of April 2018 as part of a broader
package targeting the data economy. The upcoming review will attempt to identify opportunities for reducing regulatory
costs and for simplifying the existing legislation without negatively affecting the achievements of the underlying policy
goals. The ongoing evaluation of the Directive on the legal protection of databases 96/9/EC (Database Directive) will
feed into the review by identifying potential issues with the interplay between the PSI and Database Directives. The
Commission has also announced that the PSI review will be aligned with the follow-up actions to the REFIT mid-term
policy evaluation of Directive 2007/2/EC, 'INSPIRE' (Directive establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in
the European Community). For these reasons, both these directives have been included in this appraisal.

Riassunto Digital technologies have changed the way we live and transformed the world around us at unprecedented speed.
They have affected all important aspects of life, both at work and at home, and have influenced almost everything from
human relations to the economy, to the extent that access to the internet has now become a basic human right
recognised by the United Nations. This profound change presents both opportunities and threats to our society.
Citizens need specific skills and access to be able to meaningfully take part in society and work. European businesses
need an adequate policy framework and infrastructure to capture the enormous value created by the digital economy.
Supporting innovation, removing barriers in the digital single market, and effectively managing and using data are the
necessary tools to assist them and boost economic growth in Europe. The European Union takes an active part in
shaping the digital economy and society, with cross policy initiatives that range from boosting investment, through
reforms of copyright and e privacy, to removal of geo-blocking and development of e-government. This multifaceted
approach is necessary to facilitate adaptation to complex new realities. The European Parliament, as co legislator, is
involved in shaping the policy framework which will help citizens and businesses fully utilise the potential of digital
technologies.

Riassunto The European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) is aimed at bringing the EU closer to its citizens, by enabling them to invite the
European Commission to make a proposal for a legal act. Introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, the ECI should provide
every citizen with the right to participate in the democratic life of the Union. However, the ECI in practice has had
various procedural hurdles, preventing the fulfilment of the regulation's objectives. The ECI is thus not fulfilling its
potential with regard to bringing the EU closer to its citizens. Against this background, the present study outlines the
weaknesses in the existing ECI procedure. Moreover, it assesses, with a view to their added value, the main reform
proposals that have been put forward to improve the ECI's functioning.

Riassunto This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact
assessment (IA) accompanying the above-mentioned proposal, submitted on 21 December 2017 and referred to the
European Parliament's Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. The proposal updates and replaces Directive
91/533/EEC (the Written Statement Directive, hereafter WSD), which gives employees the right to be notified in writing
of the essential aspects of their contract or employment relationship. Taking into account that the labour market has
evolved and new forms of work have developed in recent years, the REFIT evaluation of the WSD found that there is a
need to modernise and complement the existing obligations to inform workers of their working conditions, and to create
minimum standards to ensure that each worker benefits from more clarity regarding his/her working terms, irrespective
of the type of employment relationship they have. According to the IA, the initiative would set a framework within which
new forms of work could develop, offering fairer protection for workers, a clearer legal framework and a more level
playing field for companies in the internal market (IA, pp. 6-7). The proposal, which is part of the 2018 Commission
work programme, is a follow-up to the European Pillar of Social Rights. In line with the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union (TFEU), the Commission conducted a two-stage consultation with the social partners on the revision
of the WSD. There was no agreement among the social partners to enter into direct negotiations on concluding an EU-
level agreement. The European Parliament has stressed the need to address the developments of the labour market
and protect workers in all forms of employment. It has called for a framework directive on decent working conditions
and for a revision of the WSD to take account of new forms of employment.

Riassunto On 21 November 2017, the European Parliament's Internal Market and Consumer Committee (IMCO) and Legal
Affairs Committee (JURI) adopted their joint report on the European Commission's proposal for a directive regulating
the private-law aspects of contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services in the internal market. The
Council of the EU agreed on a general approach in June 2017. Trilogue meetings began on 5 December 2017 and are
still on-going. The main changes proposed by the joint report of the two Parliament committees are concerned with the
duration of legal guarantees for digital content and services, liability for hidden defects and the short-term right to reject
defective digital content. An issue which is still being discussed is the relationship between the directive and EU public
law rules on the protection of personal data.

Riassunto The European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), introduced in 2009 with the Lisbon Treaty, is a key element of participatory
democracy, allowing citizens to play an active role in the EU's democratic life, through addressing a request to the
European Commission to make a proposal for a legal act. The procedure and conditions for ECIs are governed by
Regulation (EU) No 211/2011, in force since April 2012. In September 2017, the European Commission presented a
proposal for its amendment, picking up on a number of suggestions for improvement. This is a further update of an 'at
a glance' note published in July 2017: PE 608.644. For more detailed information on the proposed amendment of the
ECI Regulation, please see EPRS' 'EU Legislation in progress' briefing, Revising the European Citizens' initiative, PE

Riassunto In July 2015, The European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) entered into force after intensive negotiations
between European Commission, Council and Parliament. In September 2016, the European Commission presented an
amending Regulation to the original EFSI Regulation of 2015 (EFSI 1.0), prolonging the instrument, as well as
proposing changes on the content with an aim to augment its capacity and to address certain insufficiencies. The
speakers agreed that in one and a half years since its inception EFSI has demonstrated a clear quantitative success.
Nevertheless, there are certain deficiencies with regard to the way how the specific provisions of the Regulation have
been interpreted and implemented on the ground. Particular attention was given to the questions of additionally, roles
of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and National Promotional Banks, as well as transparency
and visibility.

Riassunto Audit work has changed over the years. Compliance audits look principally at the legality and regularity of payments,
but they say nothing about whether the political and economic objectives were achieved. A bridge in the middle of
nowhere may have been built in respect of public procurement rules and contract obligations. These compliance audits
are increasingly supplemented by performance audits, in which you try to answer the question whether the objective
was achieved in an economic, effective and efficient manner. In spite of the growing complexity of the audit process
the administrative burden for beneficiaries should remain reasonable. The key question is: How do we strike the right
balance between providing easy access to European public funds for beneficiaries, while guaranteeing sound financial
management. One element which has to be put in place for this purpose is a single audit chain, where one level builds
on the work of the other.

Riassunto La politica di comunicazione non è disciplinata da disposizioni specifiche dei trattati, ma discende naturalmente
dall'obbligo che incombe all'Unione europea di spiegare all'opinione pubblica il proprio funzionamento e le proprie
politiche nonché, più in generale, il significato della «integrazione europea». La necessità di una comunicazione
efficace ha la sua base giuridica nella Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell'Unione europea, che garantisce a tutti i cittadini
il diritto di essere informati sulle questioni europee. La nuova iniziativa dei cittadini europei, istituita formalmente nel
2012, ha consentito a questi ultimi di partecipare più direttamente all'elaborazione degli atti legislativi e alle questioni
europee.

Riassunto The European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 (EDS) constitutes a comprehensive multiannual framework for
implementing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) at EU level. The EDS
and CRPD are thus closely intertwined. Whilst many stakeholders had called for a revision of the EDS, the recent
European Commission progress report suggests instead to maintain the Strategy's objectives for the remaining period.
However, given that the current Strategy ends in 2020, preparation of the future disability framework will need to start
before much longer. This briefing, prepared by the Ex-Post Evaluation Unit of the European Parliamentary Research
Service (EPRS), aims to outline the scope and objectives of the EDS and to analyse its implementation. It has been
drafted in support of the implementation report on the EDS, which is currently being drawn up by the Committee on
Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL) in close consultation with disability organisations, in response to the
Commission’s progress report.

Riassunto Information and communication technologies play an increasing role in modern-day life and in the creation of a digital
society. To ensure further growth, significant investments in security are necessary. Cybersecurity is a growing
concern for citizens, influencing their digital activity. It is also a significant cost for the economy. In 2015, the estimated
worldwide economic impact of cyber-attacks reached US$500 billion. The cybersecurity market in Europe was
estimated at €20.1 billion. The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) was established
to support the EU and the Member States in enhancing and strengthening their ability to prevent, detect and respond
to network and information security (NIS) problems and incidents. ENISA is part of the broader legal and policy
environment, which includes the EU cybersecurity strategy and the recently adopted directive on security of networks
and information systems across the EU.

Riassunto The overall impression is that the IA provides a thorough analysis of the current problems encountered. The IA
indicates the likely costs and benefits of the proposed options, which are grouped into four packages. The Commission
makes clear that, where possible, quantitative estimations were provided of the impacts of reducing administrative
burden and/or regulatory obstacles, but underscores that there are nevertheless many other factors which influence
the levels of cross-border trade and investment in services. While stakeholder consultation was broad, stakeholder
support for most options is not readily apparent from the IA.

Riassunto According to the various reports and assessments presented in this briefing, the existing cars and vans regulations
appear to be well implemented, with the majority of car and van manufacturers meeting their CO2 specific emission
targets in 2015, and some well on their way to reaching the 2020/2021 targets. However, the ultimate aim of the
regulations is to deliver a significant reduction in real-world CO2 emissions. While CO2 emissions as measured on the
test cycle is one element of this, there are other external trends that influence CO2 emissions from cars and vans,
including the total number of cars and vans and the distance covered, and the level and composition of fuels. The
effectiveness of the legislation should be considered in conjunction with other policy instruments, including laboratory
test cycles, embedded emissions or the use of CO2-linked vehicle taxation. In addition, any future evaluation of the
regulations and the setting of new effective emission limits should take into account the introduction of the new
worldwide harmonised light vehicles test procedure (WLTP) in September 2017, and the entry into force of the new
type approval regulation. To significantly reduce transport emissions, the setting out of new CO2 emission targets
could include the adoption of a number of measures that would allow for better monitoring of real driving emissions. In
order to achieve lasting and sustainable emission reductions in the transport sector, and rebuild the trust of consumers
in the regulatory system and the car industry, a much broader and holistic approach appears necessary. This could
consist of a systemic and integrated approach combining various policy instruments, accommodating the use of
alternative energies in transport, increased vehicle energy efficiency and intelligent management of transport demand
and infrastructure.

Riassunto In the context of an own-initiative rapport (rapporteur: Markus Pieper, EPP), the CONT Committee decided last year to
contract a study on “Democratic accountability and budgetary control of non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
funded by the EU budget” to experts from the consultancy Blomeyer&Sanz. The study was presented in a pre-release
version last November. It identified difficulties in terms of data availability and transparency, stemming from the
fragmentation of European Commission’s systems. It also concluded that the existence of multiple, complex,
overlapping NGOs networks pose significant challenges to accountability and transparency, as does the emergence of
new and innovative funding mechanisms that do not involve large institutional donors.
The workshop followed on the findings of the study and aimed at providing the CONT Committee with views of NGOs,
in presence of European Commission’s and Court of Auditors’ representatives. The authors of the study, now finalised
and updated with feedback received, were also present to comment. Considering the limited timing, the workshop
focused on the examples of development policy, and environment policy (LIFE programme).
