EESC points out key missing pieces in the Commission's new proposal to fight shell companies

Ensuring effective and fair taxation across the Single Market is crucial to stimulating a real recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. In an opinion adopted at its March plenary session, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) supported the European Commission (EC) proposal on the misuse of shell companies for tax purposes. This is purely a tax directive proposal, however, and the Commission needs to dig deeper into the topic, and address other key issues related to shell companies.

Măsurile pentru a face față creșterii prețului energiei trebuie să fie adaptate fiecărei țări și să încurajeze tranziția verde

Având în vedere că războiul din Ucraina a adus din nou în prim-plan tema aprovizionării cu energie a UE, Comitetul Economic și Social European (CESE) afirmă că sunt necesare măsuri coordonate pentru a aborda actuala criză a prețului energiei, dar care să nu submineze eforturile politicii în domeniul climei. Pe lângă răspunsul său de urgență, menit să evite consecințele sociale grave, blocul european trebuie să supravegheze îndeaproape piața energiei și să intensifice investițiile în sursele regenerabile de energie.

Conscious political participation in elections ensures democracy

The EESC opinion on the "Reinforcing democracy and integrity of elections package", adopted at the February plenary session, comes in at a very timely moment, with populist voices and anti-democratic rhetoric gaining ground in Europe. Manipulative information, interference and fake news disseminated by "bots" and "trolls" could generate a "casus belli" pretext, as we have witnessed all too recently. The EESC welcomes the aims of the European election package and makes recommendations to further secure transparent, accessible and honest political activities and an active role of civil society.

EESC deplores the lack of accountability and public scrutiny of the new EU authority on cross-border health threats

Although it has great potential, HERA - the EU's new body for fighting future health emergencies across borders – falls short on transparency and ambition. With few checks and balances in place for its work, there are doubts as to whether HERA will be able to fulfil its public health mission, rather than giving a predominant role to the pharmaceutical industry

A stable and resilient European insurance sector could contribute much more to the green and digital transition and the COVID-19 recovery

The rules of Solvency II, the 2009 EU regulatory framework for insurance firms, have proved their worth but need to be adapted to new circumstances. In an opinion adopted at its plenary session on 23 February, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) welcomed the initiative of the European Commission (EC) to revamp Solvency II. The Committee stresses the considerable interest of civil society in ensuring the stability of the financial sector, and therefore calls for sound capital requirements and risk preparedness in the insurance sector.
