On 11 May 2023, IMCO and LIBE adopted a report on the AI Act by co-Rapporteurs are Mr Brando Benifei (S&D, IMCO) and Dragoş Tudorache (Renew, LIBE). The report includes important amendments to the legislative proposal, such as a ban on predictive policing, a number of additions to the list of stand-alone AI categorised as high-risk and a strong and inclusive role for the new AI Office.

Moreover, a stronger alignment with the GDPR is proposed, as is an increased involvement of stakeholders in several areas, as well as the introduction of specific provisions related to general purpose Artificial Intelligence.

Members tabled approximately 4000 amendments to the proposal, on which compromises were elaborated.

Plenary voted in favour of the report on 14 June 2023. The first trilogue was held on 14 June 2023. The co-Rapporteurs will report back on the proceedings during the LIBE meeting of 28 June 2023.

Subject files - Implementation of the Geo-Blocking Regulation - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 15:01:23 GMT

IMCO is preparing a draft report to establish to what extent the implementation of the Geo0Blocking Regulation (GBR) has contributed to the integration of the internal market and thereby, to better deals for consumers and more opportunities for business. The Rapporteur is Ms Beata Mazurek (ECR), who present the draft report at the committee meeting of 28 - 29 September 2023. The deadline for amendments is 12 July 2023.

The GBR ensures that customers in the EU have access to online interfaces, goods and services, and that they are not discriminated against on the basis of their means of payment. The regulation also prohibits restrictions on passive sales, i.e. when a trader receives unsolicited requests from customers located in a territory in which the trader is not active. At the same time, traders are not obliged to deliver cross-border unless their general conditions already provide for cross-border delivery in the country of the customer.

In 2020, less than 2 years after the entry into application of the regulation, the Commission published a report on the implementation and potential extension of the regulation.

Subject files - Single Market Emergency Instrument - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 14:52:42 GMT

IMCO is preparing a report, with Mr Andreas Schwab (EPP) as Rapporteur, on the proposal for a Regulation establishing the single market emergency instrument and repealing Council Regulation No (EC) 2679/98. On 28 March 2023, the Rapporteur presented the three draft reports on the SMEI legislative package. The discussion on the amendments took place on 25 April with the participation of EFTA representatives.

The Rapporteur suggests to strengthen the resilience aspects throughout the proposal in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the Internal Market during crises and changed the name of the regulations accordingly. The draft reports focus in particular, on promoting solidarity, free movement and fast lanes, ensuring supply-chain resilience through stress tests, trainings, voluntary crisis protocols and exchange of best practices on strategic reserves, as well as easing the burden on companies. The Rapporteur also introduces targeted changes to the two accompanying proposals to make sure that free movement of harmonised and non-harmonised goods is facilitated across the Union. The draft reports were broadly welcomed by the Shadows, who also insisted on cutting red-tape for businesses and citizens, as well as on greater transparency and involvement of Parliament.

The vote is planned for July 2023.

Subject files - Empowering consumers for the green transition - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 14:04:07 GMT

On 28 March 2023, IMCO adopted a draft report by Ms Biljana Borzan (S&D) on empowering consumers for the green transition. The report seeks to ensure a high level of consumer protection and focuses on the importance of tackling unfair commercial practices, such as dark patterns and early obsolescence, among other issues. The report also highlights the need to provide reliable and useful information on products. In addition, the report makes dual quality of goods an unfair commercial practice.

The first trilogue took place on 1 June 2023. The second on 26 June.

"To truly empower consumers for the green transition we have to, on one side protect them from unfair practices, and on the other side to enable them to make easy sustainable choices. It is time to end practices such as early obsolescence, unsubstantiated environmental claims or misleading advertising based on offsetting. We are happy to have concluded another round of negotiations. We believe that good progress can be made in the best interest of our citizens and our environment." - Biljana Borzan, Rapporteur.

The next trilogue is planned for 19 September 2023.

Subject files - Financial services contracts concluded at a distance - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 13:58:52 GMT

On 28 March 2023, IMCO adopted a report on the proposal concerning financial services contracts concluded at a distance. The Rapporteur is Ms Arba Kokalari (EPP). With this report, IMCO wants to uphold a high level of consumer protection, ensure legal clarity for companies without administrative overburdening and enable new technological developments in financial services through technological neutrality.

The report provides for:

Clear rules on what information must be provided prior to concluding a contract
Simple, legible and quick withdrawal function from contracts online
Consumers protected from manipulative practices and "dark patterns" online.

A provisional political agreement between Parliament and Council was reached on 6 June 2023.
The Rapporteur said: "With more consumers buying financial products online, the consumer protection rules need to be fit for the digital age. I am glad that we managed to conclude a deal today. This will ensure strong consumer protection online and make it easier for consumers to withdraw from contracts. Now we will have clear and modernised rules, without putting extra burden on companies".

The text of the provisional agreement needs to be formally adopted by Parliament and Council. IMCO will vote on the text on 29 June 2023.

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 13:46:40 GMT

On 2 February 2023, Parliament adopted the IMCO report by Rapporteur, Mr Sandro Gozi (Renew) on the proposed regulation on transparency and targeting of political advertising. ''This report will make abusive online political advertising a thing of the past by making it impossible to prey on people’s specific weaknesses. It will also make political actors more accountable for the adverts they disseminate.” - Mr Sandro Gozi.

The fourth trilogue took place on 27 June 2023. All outstanding political points were discussed. Good will and common understanding emerged and the co-legislators, as well as the Commission confirmed their commitment to progressing on the proposal. Further technical meetings and a political trilogue are to be planned under the upcoming Spanish Presidency of the Council. This, in order to complete the assessment of the draft compromise and reach an agreement, with the aim of applying the new rules in time for the forthcoming European elections.

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 12:47:41 GMT

The situation of children and their families has been severely affected in the most recent years. The pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine afterwards, with a subsequent increase in the cost of living, have exacerbated their situation further. The EMPL Working Group on the Child Guarantee has been established on 19 May 2022 to reflect the European Parliament commitment to strengthen awareness raising and monitor the progress of the implementation of the Child Guarantee and its sustainability.

The implementation of national plans on Child Guarantee and their funding - together with an enhanced cooperation of the national authorities with national parliaments, civil society organizations and all relevant stakeholders - are crucial to prevent and fight poverty and social exclusion of the most vulnerable children and their families.

The EMPL European Child Guarantee Working Group's mission is to scrutinise and monitor the implementation of European Child Guarantee through exchanges of views with the Commission, ECG national coordinators and all relevant stakeholders. The WG will also monitor the adequacy and sufficiency of the funding and mobilise EU political support to speed-up the efficient implementation of the European Child Guarantee and ensure its sustainability.

The Group is chaired by the EMPL Committee Chair and includes one full and (or) a substitute Member from each political group.

Subject files - LIBE Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group (DRFMG) - Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 12:37:16 GMT

In September 2019, the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) decided to renew and expand the mandate of its working group on rule of law issues, which has been renamed LIBE Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group (DRFMG).

The new Group is building on the work completed in the previous parliamentary term by its predecessor, set up in June 2018 in the aftermath of the murders of the Maltese blogger and journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, and the Slovakian journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancée, to 'monitor the situation as regards rule of law and fight against corruption within the EU and address specific situations, in particular Malta and Slovakia'. In view of its mandate, the Group is focused on threats to democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights, as well as the fight against corruption within the EU, across all Member States. It is meant to recommend specific actions to the LIBE Committee, such as meetings with stakeholders, hearings and missions, as well as to make suggestions for proposals for resolutions and reports. The Group's mandate was extended until end of this legislature.
