The IIEA’s EU27 Bulletin brings you the key developments from across the EU institutions on a fortnightly basis. Each bulletin follows developments in the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council, respectively.
It also includes a commentary on the response by the EU institutions to COVID-19 and looks ahead to what developments might emerge over the coming weeks.
Each bulletin includes:
- Analysis of ongoing institutional change;
- Updates and analysis of institutional legislative proposals;
- Examination of major policy speeches by EU leaders and senior institution officials; and
- Updates on key decisions adopted by the EU.
As some Member States begin to ease emergency restrictions introduced as a result of COVID-19, attention in the EU is turning to economic recovery.
In the past two weeks, Eurozone Finance Ministers in the Council have agreed an emergency rescue package worth €500 billion, despite significant differences between Member States. The Commission has also been active in articulating an exit strategy from the crisis that is centred on the EU’s long-term budget – the MFF.
The Bulletin also explores the impact of the coronavirus crisis on other priority areas, such as the European Green Deal, the digital transition and the rule of law.
