The situation of the eastern European Union (EU) regions bordering Russia, as well as Belarus and Ukraine, has, however, become even more critical since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the subsequent war. During its February plenary session �Ϸ�������վ is due to debate this issue following a Commission statement on the matter. <br /> <br /> Šaltinis : <a href="/portal/lt/legal-notice" >© Europos Sąjunga, 2025 - EP</a> Dokumentai - Think Tank - Europos Parlamentas Wed, 05 Feb 2025 15:53:42 GMT EPRS_ATA(2025)767236_LT_20250205 /thinktank/lt/document/EPRS_BRI(2025)767217 Discussions on the next EU multiannual financial framework are expected to begin soon. These talks on the allocation of future budget resources have a direct impact on all European Union policies, including EU cohesion policy. A reflection on the future of cohesion policy is underway, engaging EU institutions and advisory bodies, EU Member States, regional and local authorities, and stakeholders. The European Commission set up a high-level group of specialists to examine the direction of cohesion policy, which came up with a number of conclusions in March 2024. These conclusions fed into the ninth report on economic, social and territorial cohesion, which acts as a compass for the Commission's reform options for the future design of cohesion policy. Nevertheless, there are still some crucial decisions ahead. This reflection process not only entails technical matters, but also touches upon many other policy issues, some of which have highly political content. Negative scenarios for the cohesion budget, competing thematic priority allocations, a possible recentralisation of funds, or the future relationship with the Recovery and Resilience Facility, all have the potential for political friction. Issues requiring discussion include simplification and flexibility, better coordination of European Structural and Investment Funds with other instruments, and a more focused 'place-based' approach to cohesion policy. Local and regional authorities across all EU Member States highly value and support EU cohesion policy. However, political division between budget net-recipient Member States and net contributors could lead to cohesion policy being contested, especially in the light of new emerging priorities for the EU (e.g. in immigration, security and defence, or enlargement). The appointment of a new College of Commissioners on 1 December 2024 and the beginning of a new legislative process provide a unique opportunity for regional and local stakeholders to influence national positions and those of the European institutions at an early stage. This is an update of an October 2023 briefing by Balazs Szechy. <br /> <br /> Šaltinis : <a href="/portal/lt/legal-notice" >© Europos Sąjunga, 2025 - EP</a> Dokumentai - Think Tank - Europos Parlamentas Fri, 24 Jan 2025 12:37:26 GMT EPRS_BRI(2025)767217_LT_20250124 /thinktank/lt/document/EPRS_ATA(2025)767193 The EU's population is ageing and set to decline. The shrinking working-age population poses risks in terms of greater labour shortages, increased pressure on public budgets, worsened territorial disparities and depopulation. These can negatively impact EU competitiveness, slow down the green and digital transitions and undermine social cohesion. While managing the demographic transition is the responsibility of Member States, it has also become one of the biggest challenges the EU is facing today. The Commission is due to make a statement on addressing demographic challenges during the January plenary session. <br /> <br /> Šaltinis : <a href="/portal/lt/legal-notice" >© Europos Sąjunga, 2025 - EP</a> Dokumentai - Think Tank - Europos Parlamentas Wed, 15 Jan 2025 14:33:29 GMT EPRS_ATA(2025)767193_LT_20250115 /thinktank/lt/document/EPRS_ATA(2025)767192 Urban agriculture is the practice of producing, processing and distributing food within cities and built-up peri-urban areas. A growing phenomenon worldwide in recent decades, it encompasses a wide range of food production activities, but also includes urban greening and delivers social, educational and recreational benefits. Despite growing interest and the rise of projects and networks across cities, urban agriculture remains largely confined to local or regional levels, with limited coverage in EU policies or funding programmes. <br /> <br /> Šaltinis : <a href="/portal/lt/legal-notice" >© Europos Sąjunga, 2025 - EP</a> Dokumentai - Think Tank - Europos Parlamentas Sun, 12 Jan 2025 23:00:00 GMT EPRS_ATA(2025)767192_LT_20250113 /thinktank/lt/document/IPOL_BRI(2025)700896 Commitments made at the confirmation hearings of the Commissioners-designate 2024-2029 <br /> <br /> Šaltinis : <a href="/portal/lt/legal-notice" >© Europos Sąjunga, 2025 - EP</a> Dokumentai - Think Tank - Europos Parlamentas Thu, 09 Jan 2025 23:00:00 GMT IPOL_BRI(2025)700896_LT_20250110 /thinktank/lt/document/EPRS_ATA(2024)767157 In response to recurring disasters, the European Commission is proposing exceptional measures to quickly mobilise structural funds for crisis relief and reconstruction, enabling Member States to re-programme up to €17.7 billion of the cohesion policy funds for disaster relief.

Recommendations include consolidating funds, expanding Simplified Cost Options (SCOs) use, enhancing audit principles, and adopting flexible funding models.

Regions and cities are usually the first point of contact between citizens and political authorities. Engaging with them can have a positive impact on the implementation of EU policies, and may also help to bring the EU closer to its citizens, thus enhancing its democratic legitimacy. During the October II plenary session, the European Commission is due to give a statement on the topic.

Higher building costs and mortgage rates, and the related decrease in housing construction have made access to home ownership more difficult, while investors use housing as a vehicle for investment. In many cities, rents have risen, owing in part to high demand for short-term rentals. While housing policies are the responsibility of the Member States, housing is set, for the first time, to become a distinct part of a European Commissioner's portfolio. <br /> <br /> Šaltinis : <a href="/portal/lt/legal-notice" >© Europos Sąjunga, 2024 - EP</a> Dokumentai - Think Tank - Europos Parlamentas Tue, 01 Oct 2024 15:25:36 GMT EPRS_ATA(2024)762414_LT_20241001 /thinktank/lt/document/IPOL_BRI(2016)563425 The implementation timetable for cohesion policy is defined largely by its legislative framework.

TEN-T construction is supported by EU funding, an example of which is the dedicated Connecting Europe Facility programme. In December 2021, the European Commission put forward a proposal on the revised TEN T guidelines, to ensure sustainable connectivity through a reliable and high-quality infrastructure network aligned with the objectives of the European Green Deal.
