European Investment Stabilisation Function

Adottati on 17/10/2018

The EESC considers the proposed European Investment Stabilisation Function (EISF) as a step towards closer euro area integration, and possibly an attempt to encourage non-euro Member States to join the single currency. However, the EESC is of the view that a well-crafted union-wide insurance scheme that acts as an automatic stabiliser amidst macroeconomic shocks would be more effective than the proposed EISF.

The EESC supports the proposals that enhance the international competitiveness of SMEs, reduce cost, harmonise and simplify processes for registration, filing of company changes and conversions. It believes that guidance by the Commission to the Member States on transposition of the directives is useful.

Single market programme

Adottati on 17/10/2018
Riferimento: 
INT/859-EESC-2018-03034-00-00-AC-TRA
Referral:

Rapporteur: 
Oliver Röpke (Workers - GR II / Austria)
Co-rapporteur: 
Violeta Jelić (Employers - GR I/Croatia)

The EESC welcomes in principle the integration of five predecessor programmes (and of the European Statistical Programme, though that extends beyond the scope of the single market) and a number of budget headings into a single market programme, as it can be expected to produce synergies and improve cost efficiency. Due to steadily increasing volume of work in consumer protection policy EESC urges the Commission to further develop cooperation with consumer networks and organisations and to increase funding for consumer protection. It is also concerned that the negotiations on the EU financial framework could result in cuts and thus in a lower budget than in the past.

Asylum and Migration Fund (AMF) and Integrated Border Management Fund

Adottati on 17/10/2018
Riferimento: 
SOC/600-EESC-2018-03636-00-02-AC-TRA
Referral:

Rapporteur: 
Giuseppe Iuliano (Workers - GR II / Italy)

The EESC welcomes the new funds, very different to each other, that will give continuity to the work undertaken, and approves of the increase in their financial allocation. Equal treatment and anti-discrimination policies represent the pillars of European policies, including those concerning the integration of third-country nationals. The removal of the word "integration" from the title is worrying, as this could be seen as reflecting diminishing concern for this aspect. The Committee welcomes the importance given to flexibility in both funds, as this entails acknowledging the importance of better reflecting the needs of each Member States within the framework of joint action.

Sustainable mobility for Europe (Communication)

Adottati on 17/10/2018
Riferimento:

Referral: 
COM(2018) 293 final COM(2018) 293 final COM(2018) 293 final
Rapporteur: 
Giulia Barbucci (Workers - GR II / Italy)

The EESC welcomes the Third Mobility Package, however, it notes that the Commission's proposal is limited almost exclusively to road transport. In order to develop effectively sustainable and safe mobility, a more ambitious project needs to be developed, taking all available forms of transport into consideration, with a particular focus on intermodality in freight and passenger transport.

Euro area economic policy 2018 (additional opinion)

Adottati on 17/10/2018
Riferimento:

Referral: 
COM(2017) 770 final
Rapporteur: 
Javier Doz Orrit (Workers - GR II / Spain)

The EESC agrees with the aims of the Council Recommendation and with some of its proposals. However, it expresses its disagreement with the proposal for the aggregate fiscal stance of the euro area to be neutral, as well as with the way that the recommendation on salaries is formulated.

Rapporteur: 
Ioannis Vardakastanis (Diversity Europe - GR III / Greece)
Co-rapporteur: 
Ester Vitale (Workers - GR II/Italy)

The EESC considers the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF) as pivotal factors to achieve sustainable development in the EU and therefore strongly regrets the cut of 12% in the ERDF and 46% in the CF.

Customs Programme

Rapporteur: 
Laure Batut (Workers - GR II / France)

The EESC believes that the amount earmarked for the customs programme may prove to be insufficient in view of the breadth of the proposal's objectives and the targets set. It recommends Member States to increase their willingness to tackle fraud together.
