Riassunto A responsible TPLF regulatory framework should aim at lowering costs, simplifying unnecessary procedures,
increasing the predictability of costs, and delivering efficient services at costs that are proportionate to the amounts in
dispute. We explored additional effective safeguards and a number of policy options regarding the contractual, ethical
and procedural aspects of TPLF. We then estimated the European added value (EAV) for two alternatives, namely a
moderate and a strong regulatory approach scenario using a standard benefits-costs analytical conceptual framework.

Riassunto This paper forms part of a series of five studies on mis-selling of financial products in the EU. The focus of this
document is mis-selling of subordinated debt and other junior liabilities and weaknesses of MiFID. This report
concludes that the mis-selling, essentially through self-placement, was due to violations of MiFID rules rather than
weaknesses of the legislative scheme. The report includes proposals to strengthen the legislation and to provide
compensation for retail investors. This document was provided by Policy Department A at the request of the ECON

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

EU policy and legislation on pesticides: Plant protection products and biocides

Riassunto Substances used to suppress, eradicate and prevent organisms that are considered harmful are grouped under the
term ‘pesticide’. The term includes both plant protection products (used on plants in agriculture, horticulture, parks and
gardens) and biocidal products (used in other applications, for example, as a disinfectant or to protect materials).
Pesticides can be useful in a number of circumstances, for example, in overcoming diseases and increasing
agricultural yields. However, they are not without their disadvantages – above all, their environmental impact, the risks
that they pose to human health and their effects on crop protection. European Union pesticide legislation is designed to
ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment and to improve the functioning of the internal
market. Plant production products and biocides are subject to a dual approval process: active substances are
approved at EU level and products are subsequently authorised predominantly at Member State level. Furthermore,
standardised maximum levels are set for the residues of plant protection products in food, and a framework for action
is focused on sustainable pesticide use. A number of aspects of European Union policy on pesticides can be
considered as either opportunities or challenges, in particular, issues surrounding costs for the industry, the approval
process, and sustainability. The Commission is currently assessing the legislation on plant protection products and
their residues. The conclusions of that study are expected by the end of 2018.

Stato membro UE | vigilanza del mercato
Riassunto The 'Big Three' credit rating agencies – Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch – enjoy an oligopolistic position on the
market for the rating of private and public debt. In the run-up to the financial crisis, we now know, they were over-
optimistic with their ratings, but once the crisis hit, their ratings went into a very fast downward spiral. This is
considered to have contributed to the severity of the crisis. A similar pattern could be observed when the sovereign
debt crisis started in the European Union. In both the USA and in Europe, legislation was enacted to rein in the
agencies’ power as well as to prevent possible conflicts of interest which might lead to biased ratings. The backward-
looking character of the ratings, which were based more on past performance than on a thorough analysis of likely
future evolution, came under scrutiny. Calls were made to create new credit rating agencies, which could, if necessary,
be public ones. After some initial enthusiasm, these ideas – and at least one serious attempt – stalled. The main
problems were possible accusations of market manipulation, insufficient credibility, and the lack of financing. The
European Commission has recently said a new European rating agency would add little to investors' information. It is
unclear whether new attempts will be made to create an alternative rating agency, but there are still ways to reduce the
hold of the 'Big Three' on the ratings market, including by putting more weight on internal ratings, as well as by relying
on third-party assessment.

Riassunto On 28 April, the European Parliament is due to vote on recommendations on discharge to the European Union's
agencies and joint undertakings for their implementation of the EU's 2014 budget. The Parliament's Committee on
Budgetary Control proposes to grant discharge to all the decentralised agencies, highlighting progress made (for
example in reduction of staff and adoption of anti-fraud and transparency rules) but expressing concerns on issues
such as efficiency, accountability and independency. The Committee also recommends granting discharge to five of
the eight joint undertakings set up in the research field. The Committee calls for improvements in implementation of the
ex-post audit strategy, in cooperation with the Commission as regards the integration of research results, and in cost-
control mechanisms. For the remaining three undertakings, the Committee calls for additional information and clarity of
the budgetary and financial plans, with a view to a vote on discharge taking place in October.

Parole chiave associazione professionale | conflitto di interessi | conseguenza economica | corporativismo | corruzione | gruppo

Riassunto Lobbying has become an increasingly prominent issue in the European Union (EU) political and institutional debate
over the past 20 years, with many comparing Brussels to Washington DC in this regard. The principal reason for this
phenomenon is almost certainly the growing role of the EU as a policy-maker. As the EU institutions have expanded
their regulatory competence in areas such as environmental law, the single market and consumer protection, and
policy proposals have become more complex, they have increasingly come to rely on technical expertise to draft
legislation, provided by outside interest groups among others. In parallel, criticism of the balance of interests
represented through lobbying in EU decision-making has grown. Concerns relate to the lack of official (and reliable)
estimates of the number and type of interest groups, the amount of money spent on lobbying, and possible conflicts of
interest. It is difficult to calculate the cost of opaque (or under-regulated) lobbying, either in monetary terms or in loss of
confidence in EU institutions, but it may be argued that regulation of lobbying could have an impact in both these
regards. Efforts to improve transparency of lobbying at EU level are on-going. A revised European Transparency
Register was launched in January 2015, and the European Commission has published a roadmap for the adoption of a
mandatory register, whilst the Council of the EU launched discussions on initial steps towards joining the transparency
register already established by the Commission and Parliament.

Riassunto This study aims to provide insights into the development, since 2012, of the European Commission’s system of Expert
Groups, including the Register of Expert Groups. The specific focus of this study is an assessment of the European
Commission’s compliance with a set of European Parliament conditions attached to repeated European Parliament
budget reserves for the Expert Group budget. The European Parliament conditions aim to strengthen the balanced
representation of interests in the Expert Groups, address conflicts of interest, and ensure transparency, in terms of
open access to the working and outputs of the Expert Groups. The study finds that the European Commission, despite
some progress, continues to fall short of full compliance with the European Parliament conditions on balance and
transparency. Based on this study’s findings, it is considered that a more systematic approach to balance would help
overcoming information asymmetries and contribute to throughput legitimacy. Enhanced transparency also has
potential to enhance Expert Group outputs. This study therefore recommends a systematic approach to balance, the
promotion of full transparency, more resources for Secretariat General oversight and enforcement, and the systematic
evaluation of Expert Group performance at the level of the system of Expert Groups and for all individual Expert
Groups.

Riassunto The European Parliament is lobbied by growing numbers of special interests; their activity is greater in Committees
dealing with issues on integration & regulation, and procedures under OLP, CNS and INI. Significantly, the density and
diversity of accredited interests across committees mirrors patterns observed in registered groups across Commission
DGs. Based on a survey of MEPs the report notes variation in the activity of interest groups across the policy cycle
while influential groups are considered those that provide a mix of European level technical and political expertise;
overall the Transparency Register is considered to improve the behaviour of interest representatives.

Riassunto Over recent decades Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) – a term used to capture all forms of collective organisation
outside the government and business sectors – have grown in both number and impact on policy-making, both at EU
and national levels. In consequence, CSOs have come under pressure to demonstrate that they use the public
resources they are given in an efficient, accountable and transparent manner.
A number of proposals to address these topics have been discussed over the years. However, only a few of those
proposals have been translated into law; and even fewer of these, after being implemented, have offered an effective
solution to the issue of financial accountability of the third sector. The debate between scholars, institutions and
practitioners is still ongoing. In the meantime, the third sector at the European level remains regulated by a
combination of European norms, quasi-legal tools, and self-regulatory initiatives.
Efforts to tackle financial mismanagement by CSOs are frustrated by the absence of clear legal definitions at EU level,
by the opacity of the information available on CSOs through EU databases and by excessive bureaucracy.

Riassunto A wide range of EU agencies have been set up to implement policy in specific fields, with the aim of simplifying
procedures, ensuring cost-effectiveness, bringing outsourced activities closer to the final beneficiaries and improving
visibility of the EU. A number are executive agencies directly supervised by the Commission, but the many
autonomous regulatory agencies created have thrown up a series of problems linked to accountability and oversight by
the EU institutions.

sviluppo | proprietà intellettuale | regolamento finanziario | sviluppo economico
Riassunto The term 'public-private partnership' (PPP) is used to describe a broad and varied spectrum of cooperative
relationships between public actors (governments, agencies and international organisations, or a combination thereof)
and private actors (companies or not-for-profit entities). There is therefore no standard global definition of precisely
what a PPP is. PPPs have increased in number over the past decade. This has given rise to concerns regarding the
exposure of PPPs to the risk of conflicts of interest. Such risks may arise, for example, with the possibility that
preference is given to national tenderers or applicants whenever a contract is awarded by the public contracting
authorities; or through the possibility that weaker actors may be excluded from participating in a PPP because of the
preference given a priori to stronger actors. The EU attempts to strike a balance by combining broad definitions of
conflicts of interest with a number of legal tools tailored to identifying, managing and resolving specific conflicts. The
legal tools currently in place to avoid conflicts of interest in this context can be divided into two broad categories. Hard-
law tools include provisions for ensuring that public officials perform their duties in a fair and unbiased way. These
rules apply along the entire decision-making process concerning PPPs. To complement such rules, a vast array of
soft-law tools is also in place, including criteria to guide decisions of public actors on support to enterprises or financial
intermediaries, support for internationally recognised guidelines and principles, and commitment towards voluntary
initiatives to increased fiscal transparency.

Riassunto This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying its
proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on indices used as benchmarks in financial
instruments and financial contracts (COM (2013) 641), which was submitted in September 2013.
It analyses whether the principal criteria laid down in the Commission’s own Impact Assessment Guidelines, as well as
additional factors identified by the Parliament in its Impact Assessment Handbook, appear to be met by the IA. It does
not attempt to deal with the substance of the proposal. It is drafted for informational and background purposes to assist
the relevant parliamentary committee and Members more widely in their work.

Riassunto Investor-State Dispute Settle-ment (ISDS) mechanisms are found in more than 3 000 international investment treaties,
but have been increasingly criticised in recent years. Their advocates defend them as a depoliticised neutral system to
resolve disputes between foreign investors and host states. The issue of ISDS has lately come to public attention in
the EU, with the completion of negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with
Canada, and the opening of negotiations on a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement.

supervisory authority. The papers examine the overall position of the ECB and the various roles of the ECB in the new
institutional framework as well as its relationship with other bodies in terms of institutional design. In the context, the
papers assess synergies, overlaps as well as the risks of possible conflicts of interest between ECB's different roles
and among institutions, including the positive and negative externalities that the new tasks may generate in relation to
ECB's key mandate for price stability.

Riassunto Lobbying at EU level has very specific characteristics. It can be assessed on both access to the decision-making
process as well as the success of the lobbying activity. Besides the European Commission and Parliament's code of
conduct for the Transparency Register, lobbying organisations have developed their own professional codes of
conduct to regulate their activities. The main criticism of the current situation regarding lobbying is the lack of
transparency. Meanwhile lobbying is considered a positive element by EU policy-makers insofar as it ensures the
participation of social and economic actors in the policy-making process and provides useful information.

Riassunto Disease mongering is the promotion of pseudo-diseases by the pharmaceutical industry aiming at economic benefit.
Medical equipment manufacturers, insurance companies, doctors or patient groups may also use it for monetary gain
or influence. It has increased in parallel with society's 'medicalisation' and the growth of the pharmaceutical complex.
Due to massive investments in marketing and lobbying, ample use of internet and media, and the emergence of new
markets, it is becoming a matter of concern, and policy makers should be aware of its perils and consequences.
