Riassunto Independece of monetary authorities is a key tenet of modern central banking. Indepedence, however, must go hand in
hand with accountability towards the public and its elected representatives. Four studies were prepared for the ECON
Committee by the Monetary Expert Panel, comparing the accountability practices of major central banks in other
juristictions (the Bank of England, the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve) with those of
the European Central Bank (ECB) and offering recommendations on how to improve the ECB's accoutability
framework.

Riassunto Given its central role in public accountability and in the formation of expectations, it is important to reflect on ways to
improve the ECB’s communication policy. Communication should not generally strive for maximum transparency. The
optimum degree of transparency varies between different aspects of monetary policy and banking supervision.
Although the ECB already communicates very openly with the public and achieves a very high level of transparency in
all aspects, we see room for improvement in its communication strategy in several respects.

Riassunto Central banks are increasingly recognising the importance of communicating with the wider public. We document that
interest in monetary policy is intermittent, usually linked to major decisions and/or personnel changes. The ECB should
not expect that every one of its decisions is noticed by the general public. The Monetary Dialogue fulfils the typical
function of a representative democracy in which citizens delegate to their elected representatives the task of
monitoring policy implementation by independent institutions.

Riassunto Central banks use communication both as a monetary policy instrument and as a tool for accountability. The ECB’s
communication practices have changed significantly in recent years. Yet, new challenges await. The ECB President,
Ms Christine Lagarde, stated that she sees the general public as the “new frontier” for central bank communications.
The Monetary Expert Panel was asked to produce three papers on this topic.

Understanding development effectiveness: Concepts, players and tools

Parole chiave aiuto dell'UE | analisi costo-efficienza | governance | politica di cooperazione | politica di sviluppo | povertà |
trasparenza amministrativa
Riassunto In the context of the limited availability of development aid, there is an increased demand for effective results. This
means that both developing and richer countries must commit to spending and using aid more effectively. Public
funding is not enough to cover all needs, but it can leverage initiatives from civil society and the private sector. The
increase in stakeholders and intervention methods, both in terms of numbers and variety, combined with the necessity
to address needs in the field more precisely, has led to a global rethinking of how to assess development. High-level
forums and stakeholder networks have helped to fine-tune the main principles of development effectiveness and to
shift from a donor-recipient relationship to a more cooperative framework. Methods and tools have improved and led to
better planning, implementation and appraisal of development projects. The EU has been closely involved in designing
and implementing the effectiveness principles. The European Parliament often refers to them, insisting that they must
not be sacrificed for the sake of short-term interests. This briefing is an update of a previous edition from April 2017.

Parole chiave mantenimento della pace | ONU | organizzazione internazionale | riforma istituzionale | trasparenza amministrativa
Riassunto At the 72nd United Nations (UN) General Assembly on 18 September 2017, 120 countries expressed their
commitment to the reforms proposed by UN Secretary-General António Guterres. Since 1946, the UN has undergone
a number of reforms either in whole or in part. The term 'reform' has proved troublesome for UN member states on
account of its lack of clarity and the lack of consensus as to execution. This is particularly apparent in the scepticism
expressed by the United States (US) in 2018 regarding the need for global governance, the importance of UN Security
Council decisions such as the Iran nuclear deal, and the efficiency of the United Nations. This briefing explains how the
current reform differs from previous ones, in as much as it focuses on management and addresses the criticisms of a
lack of accountability and transparency, ineffectiveness, and the deficit in trust between the organisation and its
member states in the current system. The United Nations reform agenda centres on three key areas: development,
management, and peace and security. First, development reform will bring a bold change to the UN development
system in order to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This will be centred on the
creation of a new generation of country teams led by an independent team of UN country experts ('resident
coordinators'). Second, the simplification of processes, increased transparency and improved delivery of mandates will
form the basis of a new management paradigm for the secretariat. Third, peace and security reform will be
underpinned by placing priority on conflict prevention and peacekeeping, increasing the effectiveness and coherence
of peacekeeping operations and political missions. Two years after its launch, the reform process is starting to bear
fruit, with implementation set to begin in 2019 and a focus on streamlining, accountability, transparency and efficiency.
However, the reform process does not make explicit mention of bolstering human rights. This briefing also explores the
possibility of capitalising on the current reforms so as to boost the indivisibility of human rights, while taking stock of
stakeholders' reactions to the UN reforms under way.

Riassunto This report aims to provide insights into the development, since 2016, of the European Commission’s system of Expert
Groups, including the Register of Expert Groups, thus updating the European Parliament’s study ‘Composition of the
Commission’s expert groups and the status of the register of expert groups’ (September 2015). The Update finds that
the European Commission’s revised Horizontal Rules, introduced in May 2016, triggered important improvements in
terms of balance of interests, transparency and gender balance. Notwithstanding, there is further room for enhancing
the system, and this Update recommends: further strengthening balance with a specific focus on the Expert Groups
that continue to experience imbalance; further enhance transparency of Expert Group deliberations; remind Expert
Groups about the requirement for gender balance; for the European Commission to report on the system and evaluate
the system’s performance; and to conduct further research on specific types of Expert Group members and the use of
Expert Groups.

Riassunto Decentralised agencies were set up on a case-by-case basis over the years, to respond to emerging individual policy
needs. Currently there are 36 of them and they have been operating under very diverse conditions. This study provides
an overview of the different decentralised EU agencies according to a number of criteria; including their functions, legal
bases, sources of financing, respective roles of Parliament, Council, Commission and Member States, stakeholder
involvement and transparency. It particularly examines how the parliamentary scrutiny over decentralised agencies is
ensured and suggests possible improvements to those mechanisms in order to reach a more coherent, efficient and
transparent institutional set up for the parliamentary scrutiny over agencies’ activities.

Riassunto The European Ombudsman is a body established to ensure that maladministration in the EU institutions is addressed
and where possible remedied. From the establishment of the European Ombudsman, personalities and the open-
ended character of the notion of maladministration have been relevant in shaping the activity of the office.
Maladministration is widely accepted to be a sphere of inappropriate behaviour of the administration that goes beyond
simple illegality. The particularity of the Ombudsman lies therefore on the fact that it is able, through the exercise of
'soft power', to tackle issues that would escape the scrutiny of the Court of Justice of the EU. This paper provides an
overview of the activity of the Ombudsman, and attempts to identify the main areas of activity in quantitative terms, the
main institutions to which the Ombudsman addresses inquiries and recommendations and highlights the proactive role
exercised by this body so far. The compliance rate with the recommendations of the Ombudsman is rather high,
although it would seem to decrease where the Ombudsman, by issuing critical remarks, exercises an 'educational'
function. This paper also sets out some proposals to modify the Statute, with some less-extensive proposals, that
would take into account already established practices, and other more far-reaching proposals, that would need
however to be carefully considered so as not to distort the nature of the body.

Riassunto Each year, the EU Member States lose billions of euros in VAT revenues on account of fraud. As the EU VAT system
is undergoing profound modernisation, this study seeks (i) to take stock of the current state of play, (ii) to assess the
current regulatory framework and the proposals under discussion, and (iii) to offer a selection of recommendations. An
initial conclusion is that, while the European Commission has put a considerable amount of work into the
modernisation of the EU VAT system, remaining risks of fraud cannot be ignored. A second substantial conclusion is
that a different approach and the use of new technologies would allow the Member States to remove significant
obstacles that currently impede an effective fight against VAT fraud.

Riassunto The IA is aimed at underpinning new legislation in the field of consumer protection, as called for in various European

Methodological weaknesses include the narrow range of options to calibrate the evaluation findings. Secondly, there
are some presentation issues, which do not facilitate consideration of the Commission’s choices. For instance, the

Parole chiave codice di condotta | diritto nazionale | formalità amministrativa | Francia | gruppo d'interesse | Stato membro UE |

Riassunto Since 1 May 2018, France's new lobbying law is fully implemented. Part and parcel of recent legislation on
transparency (Sapin II package), it was adopted on 9 December 2016, providing a regulatory framework for lobbying
activities and establishing a mandatory national register ('le repertoire') for lobbyists. In a step-by-step process, first,
the repertoire, in which all active interest representatives must sign up, was created on 1 July 2017. After registering by
1 January 2018, interest representatives were then under the obligation to report their lobbying activities in this
repertoire by 30 April 2018. The repertoire, with just over 1 00 registrants to date, is overseen by the 'Haute Autorité
pour la Transparence de la Vie Publique' (HATVP). In France, the cultural acceptance of lobbying as a profession has
been slow, and the new law will make a huge difference in terms of making lobbying activities public, with a regulation
closely following the Irish example. The Sapin II package aims for a general increase in public accountability and
transparency of the decision-making processes. Some incremental steps in this direction had been taken previously,
primarily with the establishment of the HATVP in January 2014 as an independent body to oversee the integrity and
transparency of the national public institutions.

Riassunto The flow of officials and politicians between the public and private sector has in the past few years given rise to calls
for more transparency and accountability. In order to mitigate the reputational damage to public institutions by
problematic use of the 'revolving door', this phenomenon is increasingly being regulated at national level. In the United
States, President Trump recently changed the rules put in place by his predecessor to slow the revolving door. As
shown by press coverage, the US public remains unconvinced. Scepticism may be fuelled by new exceptions made to
the rules – retroactive ethics pledge waivers – and the refusal of the White House to disclose the numbers or
beneficiaries of said waivers. Watchdog organisations argue that not only has the Trump administration so far failed to
'drain the swamp', it has ended up doing quite the opposite. In the EU, where revolving door cases are increasingly
being covered in the media, both the European Parliament and Commission have adopted Codes of Conduct,
regulating the activities of current and former Members, Commissioners, and even staff. The European Ombudsman,
Emily O'Reilly, has on numerous occasions spoken out in favour of further measures, such as 'cooling-off periods', and
has carried out several inquiries into potentially problematic revolving door cases. Following calls from Parliament, the
Juncker Commission adopted a new and stronger Code of Conduct for Commissioners early in 2018. Even so, no one
single Code can hope to bring an end to the debate.

Riassunto This study forms part of a series of five studies on mis-selling of financial products in the EU. The study reviews the EU
legislative and regulatory framework for the marketing, sale and distribution of financial products to assess whether
post-crisis EU regulatory reforms have met their objectives and, if not, what are the gaps and weaknesses in the
current EU regulatory approach. The EU follows a sectoral approach to regulating the marketing and sale of financial
products, which results in segmentation and arbitrage risks. The paper argues that the European Supervisory
Authorities should adopt more harmonised regulatory and technical standards to reduce these risks and ensure more
effective enforcement by Member State authorities. This document was provided by Policy Department A at the

Riassunto As required by the regulation, the interim evaluation of Horizon 2020 – the European Union (EU) framework
programme (FP) for research and innovation – began in October 2016 with a public consultation to gather feedback
from stakeholders three years in. The Commission performed its own mid-term evaluation and asked experts to
evaluate the programme's specific instruments. In parallel, the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the
advisory committees conducted their own, separate evaluations of the programme. The Commission adopted its
conclusions on the interim evaluation of Horizon 2020 in January 2018, confirming that the programme was relevant
and presented clear EU added value. Implementation was considered to be efficient and the first results suggested
that the programme was also effective in reaching its objectives. The integration of research and innovation and the
Horizon 2020 pillar structure provided for greater internal coherence compared with previous framework programmes.
All the evaluations highlighted four key issues to be addressed by the next FP. First, the programme budget needs to
match better the funding required to bring the success rate back to acceptable levels. Second, the unbalanced
distribution of FP funding across the EU raises concerns regarding the impact of the use of the excellence criterion and
calls for changes to enable the various EU funds to generate more synergistic effects so as to maintain EU
competitiveness and promote EU cohesion in research and innovation. Third, the evaluations highlight the will to
improve the shared, multi-level governance between the EU, Member States and regions and to promote the co-
design and co-construction of the FP with the public and civil society. Finally, there is widespread agreement that the
EU research and innovation funding landscape has become too complex and should be streamlined, questioning the
EU added value of each of the instruments and partnerships.

Riassunto Gli strumenti digitali potrebbero creare connessioni più solide tra i cittadini europei e il processo decisionale dell'UE e,
in questo modo, contribuire alla riduzione del deficit democratico nell'Unione europea. La presente relazione prende in
esame gli insegnamenti che si possono trarre dalle esperienze locali, nazionali ed europee in termini di utilizzo degli
strumenti digitali per il funzionamento delle procedure decisionali e delle istituzioni dell'UE. A tale scopo è stato
effettuato un esame della letteratura attualmente disponibile sulla democrazia digitale e la sfera pubblica europea; 22
esperienze locali, nazionali e dell'UE in relazione agli strumenti digitali esistenti sono state esaminate e valutate ed è
stata effettuata un'analisi dell'idoneità degli strumenti digitali più promettenti in termini di attuazione e uso a livello di
UE. I fattori più importanti per la riuscita della partecipazione digitale identificati nella relazione sono: un collegamento
stretto e chiaro tra i processi di partecipazione digitale e un processo decisionale formale concreto; il processo
partecipativo e i suoi contributi al processo decisionale nel suo insieme devono essere chiari ai partecipanti sin
dall'inizio; il riscontro ai partecipanti riguardo all'uso che è stato fatto dei loro contributi è una caratteristica
indispensabile del processo; un processo partecipativo non dovrebbe essere limitato a un solo evento, ma integrato in
una "cultura della partecipazione" istituzionale; la partecipazione digitale deve essere accompagnata da un'efficace
strategia di mobilitazione e partecipazione, che preveda strumenti di comunicazione pensati su misura per i diversi
gruppi destinatari.

Riassunto This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact
assessment (IA) accompanying its above-mentioned proposal amending the European Market Infrastructure
Regulation (EMIR), submitted on 4 May 2017 and referred to Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary
Affairs. The IA accompanying a subsequent Commission proposal (COM(2017) 331), also amending the EMIR
regulation, as regards the authorisation of central counterparties and the recognition of third-country central
counterparties, will be analysed in a forthcoming initial appraisal. This proposal is part of the Commission's REFIT
programme, which stands for Regulatory Fitness and Performance. One of the stated aims of this programme is to
make EU law 'simpler, lighter, more efficient and less costly' (Better Regulation Guidelines of 2015, p. 91). EMIR,
adopted in 2012, forms part of the European regulatory response to the financial crisis. It specifically addresses the
problems observed in the functioning of the over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market from the 2007-2008 financial
crisis onwards.

Riassunto With taxation constantly in the headlines as one tax leak follows another, the question of which tax jurisdictions are
regularly associated with the schemes revealed has gained in importance. Broadly speaking, tax havens provide
taxpayers, both legal and natural persons, with opportunities for tax avoidance, while their secrecy and opacity also
serves to hide the origin of the proceeds of illegal and criminal activities. One may ask why establishing a list of tax
havens is useful. Drawing up such a list started with the actions to stop harmful tax practices arising from the
discrepancy between the global reach of financial flows and the geographically limited scope of jurisdictions, matching
or inside national borders. This difference is central to the inter-connected issues of tax avoidance, tax evasion and
fraud, and money laundering. Whatever name is used (tax haven, offshore centre, non-cooperative jurisdiction) they all
have in common that they make it possible to escape taxation: low or zero taxation, a fictitious residence (with no
bearing on reality) and tax secrecy. The last two are key for hiding the ultimate beneficial owner, and consequently for
money laundering. In short, the tax-haven issue reveals the discrepancy between real economic activity and the form
and appearance given to it, through complex and global schemes. In the EU, the process of adopting a common list of
non-cooperative tax jurisdictions was initiated as part of efforts towards good governance in tax, and the external
dimension thereof. On 5 December 2017, the Council adopted a first common list.

Riassunto On 11 May 2017, the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament authorised its Committee on the Internal
Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) to draw up a report on the implementation of Directive 2005/36/EC regarding
regulation and the need for reform in professional services. The timetable envisaged for the preparation of this report
was then adapted to the one for the report on the legislative proposal for a proportionality test before adoption of new
regulation of professions, also being dealt with by IMCO (rapporteur: Andreas Schwab, EPP, Germany). Due to the
limited time consequently available for conducting research on this dossier, this short briefing paper – rather than a full
European Implementation Assessment, as is the usual procedure in the case of implementation reports – is hereby
provided to the IMCO Members. The scope of this 'Implementation in Action' briefing, covering the history of EU
regulation of professions, application of Article 59 of the Professional Qualifications Directive, and the restrictiveness
indicator used by the European Commission, was agreed with the IMCO committee secretariat following consultation
with the office of the rapporteur (Nicola Danti, S&D, Italy).

Ucraina
Riassunto On 12-13 July 2017, European Council President, Donald Tusk, Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, and
Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, will meet in Kyiv for the 19th EU-Ukraine summit. Ukraine's reform process is
to feature prominently on the agenda. The ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement by the Dutch
Parliament in May 2017, and the commencement of visa-free travel for Ukrainians in June illustrate the active and
visible role the EU has taken in shaping Ukraine's future. Since the 2014 Euromaidan revolution, Ukraine's reform
efforts have made unprecedented progress under difficult circumstances. The country has improved transparency,
implemented anti-corruption measures and reduced its dependence on Russian gas. The EU, international institutions,
individual countries and Ukrainian civil society actors have all participated in propagating, funding and monitoring these
changes. External leverage and incentives have proved vital in ensuring that the government moves ahead with
reforms, but internal challenges still pose a threat to future progress, including the actual implementation of the laws
passed. Strong oligarchic influence and a lack of political unity continue to hamper key changes. Significant issues to
watch in Ukraine's ongoing reforms include the election of an all-new Supreme Court as well as the creation of a
special Anti-Corruption Court.

From arbitration to the investment court system (ICS): The evolution of CETA rules

Riassunto After a public consultation on proposed reforms to investment protection and the investor-dispute settlement
framework of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with the United States of America, the
European Parliament requested the replacement of the traditional arbitration framework with a new court system. The
European Commission and Canada subsequently renegotiated the relevant provisions of the Comprehensive
Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) to establish a new investment court system (ICS). The ICS departs
substantially from the arbitration model, in particular on the appointment of judges. Procedurally the ICS remains
similar to treaty-based arbitration proceedings and retains all the innovations introduced in the early draft of CETA.
Those innovations aim, among other things, to prevent ‘forum shopping’ and abuse of the system. Some of the
innovations introduced will require further decisions in CETA’s established Committees, such as on the code of
conduct and decisions on appellate body judges. Some concerns raised regarding the basis for differences between
ISDS and domestic court systems persist in the ICS context. These relate both to the different treatment between
foreign and domestic investors, and to uncertainty regarding the compatibility of the ICS system with the principle of
autonomy of the EU legal order. On this last point, however, the ICS framework can be distinguished for various
reasons from past opinions on the European and Community Patent Court and the EU’s accession to the European
Convention on Human Rights.
