Members will discuss how vital it is to ensure that the current and future workforce is equipped with necessary skills to fully reap the benefits of the green and digital transitions.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In dialogue with experts and stakeholders, they will explore how these transitions will affect the labour market and in which ways they may be leveraged as an opportunity to create high-quality with good working conditions in all sectors and regions across the EU. Reskilling and upskilling workers is a social-economic responsibility, and the involvement of social partners is crucial to accomplish this transition - a key element reflected in the "European Year of Skills 2023." The hearing will include speakers from various organisations and stakeholders, notably Circle Economy, Cedefop, Eurofound, ELA, BusinessEurope, ETUC and OECD.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt; : PAUL-HENRI SPAAK 1A2&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;float:none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272825/Poster_online_original.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;Poster&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/privacy-policy/en"&gt;© European Union, 2023 - EP&lt;/a&gt;</description>

The main aim of the delegation was to learn about the Japanese regulatory approach to digital products and services, as Japan is one of the world leaders in the sector, with over 300 registered AI-related companies. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In Tokyo and Kyoto, the delegation met with the Minister for Digital Transformation and the Minister for Internal Affairs and Communication, the Japanese parliament, academia and private companies.

Primarily, the delegation wanted to focus on customs, which is one of the core responsibilities of the Committee. The members of the delegation were Ms Maria Grapini (S&amp;D), Mr Andreas Schwab (EPP), Mr Ivan Štefanec (EPP), Ms Tsvetelina Penkova (S&amp;D), Mr Morten Løkkegaard (Renew), Ms Alessandra Basso (ID), and Mr Adam Bielan (ECR).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Singapore hosts the world's biggest port for goods and many of these goods are destined for the EU market. Secondly, in light of the Committee's work on the EU digital single market, the delegation wanted to learn from Singapore's experience with its productivity drive to facilitate the transformation into a digital economy, as well as consumer protection in digital markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, as Singapore is a part of ASEAN, being the business hub of the association, the delegation met with representatives of ASEAN businesses based there and which are exporting goods to the EU. This, in order to learn about their experiences on access to the EU market, especially on issues related to EU customs and custom controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;float:none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/IMCO-CR-749287_EN.pdf " target="_blank"&gt;Mission Report&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://amcpweepms-euwe.streaming.media.azure.net/a180878b-1ee9-4d11-9842-890715bcd772/ludwig.saliba@europarl.europa.eu/db511346-55a3-45cf-94f9-14c042555dc3/download-82ba58de-f93a-41a8-b2eb-391a0828d445.mp4" target="_blank"&gt;Report back to committee on the delegation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/privacy-policy/en"&gt;© European Union, 2023 - EP&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Hearings - Online safety of vulnerable consumers (minors) - 29-06-2023 - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection</title>

      <description>&lt;div style="float:left; margin:0px 5px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/resources/library/images/20230616PHT98907/20230616PHT98907-ms.jpeg" width="180" alt="A minor using a tablet" title="Minors accessing the net © Image used under license from Adobe Stock"/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Making the online world a safe, positive and inclusive environment for children is a key IMCO priority. Children are accessing the internet from an increasingly younger age and across a wide range of devices, with or without adult supervision. This leaves them vulnerable to a number of risks, including exposure to illegal and harmful content, dark patterns, privacy infringements and commercial targeting. The hearing will bring this issue at the forefront of the discussions in Parliament.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Concepts such as, 'safety-by-design' and responsible use of data and platform liability are at the forefront of policy thinking for tech regulation. However, new and emerging technologies, such as augmented and extended reality, as well as artificial intelligence pose new challenges for the protection of vulnerable consumers online. In this regard, this hearing is particularly timely. Given the focus on liability and accountability issues of the tech industry, also in the context of the DSA, Members will discuss the extent to which these regulatory efforts are enough to ensure positive and age-appropriate experiences for young people online. The hearing is also an opportunity to explore what more needs to be done to embed considerations around online child protection in the design, development and deployment of digital products, services and platforms - even if their services are not primarily targeted at minors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More information to follow. The hearing will be webstreamed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt; : SPINELLI 1-G3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;float:none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272705/IMCO%20Hearing%20-%20Online%20safety%20of%20minors%20Preliminary_Final%20programme.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Programme&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272800/VADEMECUM%20OF%20THE%20SPEAKERS_Online%20safety%20for%20minors.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Speakers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_BRI(2022)733663" target="_blank"&gt;Parliament Think Tank briefing on the new European strategy for a better internet for kids (BIK+)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_ATA(2023)739350 " target="_blank"&gt;Parliament Think Tank briefing on online age verification methods for children&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/privacy-policy/en"&gt;© European Union, 2023 - EP&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Hearings - The implementation of the Eel Regulation 1100/2007 - 27-06-2023 - Committee on Fisheries</title>

      <description>&lt;div style="float:left; margin:0px 5px 0px 0px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/resources/library/images/20230613PHT98316/20230613PHT98316-ms.jpg" width="180" alt="Two eels forming the symbol of paragraph" title="Eels © Image used under license from Adobe Stock / European Parliament 2023"/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The hearing provided evidence and guidance for better implementation of the Eel Regulation. European eel is a migratory species with a unique life cycle. Between their spawning phase and pre-reproductive stage, European eel migrate from the Northwest Atlantic to the coasts of their distribution range and continental waters.
European eels are declining globally due to a combination of natural causes and human activity that impact the stock and its habitats at different life stages.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Eel Regulation (2007) establishes measures for the recovery of the European eel stock. The Eel Regulation obliges Member States with river basins in their national territory that constitute habitats for the eels, to establish and implement Eel Management Plans (EMPs). &lt;br /&gt;In particular, an EMP may contain measures, such as reducing commercial fishing activity, restricting recreational fishing, restocking measures, structural measures to make river passable and improve river habitats, transportation of silver eel from inland waters, combatting predators, measures related to hydro-electric power turbines, aquaculture, as well as any other measure necessary for the achievement of escapement target. This means that management measures should reduce mortality from human activity to ensure the escapement to the sea of at least 40% of adult eels relative to the escapement levels that would have existed in the absence of human influences.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt; : SPINELLI 3G2 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;float:none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272105/Final%20programme%20EEL%20Regulation_EN.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Programme&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Presentations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272680/Item%2011_1_PECH%20hearing%20-%20C%20OLeary.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Presentation by Dr Ciara O’Leary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272681/Item%2011_2_PECH%20hearing%20-%20MJCorreia.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Presentation by Ph.D. Maria João Correia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272682/Item%2011_3_PECH%20hearing%20-%20A%20Buch.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Presentation by Mr Allan Buch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272683/Item%2011_5_PECH%20hearing%20-%20A%20Kerr.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Presentation by Mr Andrew Kerr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/privacy-policy/en"&gt;© European Union, 2023 - EP&lt;/a&gt;</description>

While they come in many shapes and forms (accelerated depreciations, carry-forwards of losses...), tax incentives for businesses are mostly introduced to support either wider economic objectives (growth, job creation, the need to attract foreign direct investment) or specific policies (such as the energy transition).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, these tax measures have been criticised in recent years as they can be used or abused to lower the corporate tax payments of enterprises significantly, thereby possibly causing a gap in overall tax revenue. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In response, policy-makers have initiated several reforms (patent boxes, minimum tax rate of 15% in the framework of the OECD Pillar 2 reform) in order to counter tax incentives' abuse.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the same time, the US Inflation Reduction Act has fuelled the discussion about the future role of tax credits in stimulating the economy. In this public hearing, experts will examine and discuss the potential impact of tax incentives on EU policy goals, in particular in promoting a greener Europe and in supporting economic objectives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt; : European Parliament - Building Paul-Henri Spaak - Meeting room SPAAK 4B-1 - Brussels&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;float:none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272572/FISC%20Draft%20programme_the%20role%20of%20tax%20incentives%20in%20achieving%20EU%20policy%20goals%20-%2027%20June2.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Draft programme of the hearing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/fisc/meetings/webstreaming" target="_blank"&gt;Webstreaming&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr Markus Meinzer, Director of Policy at the Tax Justice Network&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272667/Markus%20Meinzer%20Biography.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Biography&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272668/Markus%20Meinzer%20Statement.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Statement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272670/Markus%20Meinzer%20Presentation.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Presentation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr Ana Cinta González Cabral, Economist at the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, Tax Policy and Statistics Division (OECD)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272672/Ana%20Cinta%20Gonzalez%20Biography.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Biography&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272688/Ana%20Cinta%20Gonzalez%20Statement.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Statement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr Björn Kauder, Senior Economist for Financial Policy and Tax Policy, Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft Köln (German Economic Institute)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272676/Bjorn%20Kauder%20Biography.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Biography&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272677/Bjorn%20Kauder%20Statement.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Statement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272678/Bjorn%20Kauder%20Presentation.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Presentation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background document provided by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_ATA(2023)749793" target="_blank"&gt;Tax incentives after the minimum corporate tax ('Pillar Two')&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/privacy-policy/en"&gt;© European Union, 2023 - EP&lt;/a&gt;</description>

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February triggered an EU-wide response and included from the onset an important judicial dimension which Eurojust substantially supported. In addition, the European legislator extended Eurojust's mandate in June and entrusted it with storing, preserving and analysing evidence on core international crimes. To meet this new task, Eurojust has in the meantime set up a Core International Crime Evidence Database.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/privacy-policy/en"&gt;© European Union, 2023 - EP&lt;/a&gt;</description>

The main goal of the mission was to establish and deepen the political dialogue with the US administration and meet counterparts in Congress, following the US mid-term elections. Members held meetings with Government and Congress representatives in Washington D.C., as well as think tanks&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The visit to Wisconsin, a swing and bellwether State, provided AFET members with an in-depth look into the political climate of grass-roots America from a transatlantic perspective. In addition to meeting the political authorities and institutions of the State of Wisconsin, Members also met management and students form the Jean Monnet Programme on European and Global studies at the University of Madison - Wisconsin, representatives of the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Unions.The mission was the first AFET mission to the US under the Biden administration and also the first AFET mission to Wisconsin. &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The visit in Wisconsin allowed members to feel the political temperature outside Washington D.C. and particularly in a state like Wisconsin, which is in a very special political situation due to the gerrymandering and the resulting blockages of the legislative process.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt; : Washingnton D.C and Wisconsin,U.S&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;float:none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/272145/1279192EN.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Mission report&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source : &lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/privacy-policy/en"&gt;© European Union, 2023 - EP&lt;/a&gt;</description>
