Blockchain and distributed ledger technology as an ideal infrastructure for Social Economy (Own-initiative opinion)

Hyväksytyt on 17/07/2019
Viite: 
INT/880-EESC-2019-005220-00-00-ac-tra
Rapporteur: 
Giuseppe GUERINI (Diversity Europe - GR III / Italy)

The EESC believes that the practical applications of blockchain technologies can significantly improve the performance of social economy organisations, benefiting them, their members and, above all, their end users. Besides, the EESC believes that real involvement of social economy and civil society organisations is imperative to ensure that the huge opportunities offered by the new technologies are geared towards delivering benefits, access, transparency and participation for all, and not just for a new "digital economy elite".

Taxation – qualified majority voting

Rapporteur: 
Krister ANDERSSON (Employers - GR I/Sweden), Mihai IVAŞCU (/Romania), Juan MENDOZA CASTRO (/Spain) (Employers - GR I / Sweden)

In the opinion, the Committee states that taxation policy in general and combating tax fraud in particular must remain a priority for the next European Commission. In this line, the EESC endorses a debate on gradually shifting to QMV and the ordinary legislative procedure in tax matters, while recognising that all Member States must at all times have sufficient possibilities to participate in the decision-making process.  Moreover, the Committee believes that any new rule must be fit-for-purpose and that certain conditions need to be met to successfully implement QMV: a sufficiently strong EU budget; better coordinated economic policy; and a substantial analytical work assessing to what extent current tax measures have been insufficient.

Co-rapporteur: 
Juan MENDOZA CASTRO (Spain)

With this opinion the EESC welcomes the Commission's strong message on reinforcing the Single Market and the need for commitment from all Member States and citizens. The EESC calls for a Single Market that must be perceived as an opportunity to reassert European values, fundamental rights and duties to achieve progress and welfare for all Member States and citizens. Values like liberty, economic growth, democracy, peace, science and innovation, political stability, consumers and social rights must be present in citizens' mindset as a result of a process that started 60 years ago.

Harmonised standards: Enhancing transparency and legal certainty for a fully functioning Single Market

Viite: 
INT/879-EESC-2019
Referral: 
COM(2018) 764 final
Rapporteur: 
Gerardo LARGHI (Italy)

A European standardisation system that functions well contributes to overall economic growth, supports innovation and global competitiveness of the European industry. It also helps to ensure that the levels of safety, health and consumer and environmental protection set out in Union legislation are met in practice. It also facilitates market access while contributing to a continuous deepening of the Single Market and providing the necessary legal certainty.
