In September 2024, a Court of Justice (ECJ) judgment, rendered in appeal, concluded a 10-year State aid procedure on Ireland's past tax rulings relating to Apple. The ECJ judgment did not go as anticipated. In addition, the over €13 billion in aid to be recovered from Apple eclipsed the grounds for the decision, which derive from the specific historical structure of the business and national provisions.

Julkiset hankintasopimukset

Faktatietoja EU:sta 25-06-2024

Hankintaviranomaiset tekevät sopimuksia rakennusurakoista ja palvelujen tuottamisesta.

Faktatietoja EU:sta 25-06-2024

Euroopan unionin yhtiöoikeus on osittain kodifioitu direktiivissä (EU) 2017/1132, ja jäsenvaltioilla on edelleen omat yhtiöoikeussäädöksensä, joita muutetaan ajoittain unionin direktiivien ja asetusten mukaisiksi. EU:n liiketoimintaympäristöä kehitetään jatkuvasti. Päämääränä on luoda yhtiöoikeudelle ja yritysten hallinnointi- ja ohjausjärjestelmälle nykyaikaiset ja toimivat puitteet, jotka palvelevat eurooppalaisia yrityksiä, sijoittajia ja työntekijöitä.

Combating late payment

Presented as part of the 'SME relief package', the initiative aims to tighten the EU's late payment framework and improve its enforcement. It proposes, among other things, to convert the current Late Payment Directive into a regulation, a move that several national parliaments contested. National parliaments also raised subsidiarity and proportionality concerns on several provisions. The impact assessment (IA) adequately justifies the need to revise the late payment framework, and substantiates the ...

Cross-border claims to looted art
