This briefing focuses on the Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the 6th revision of the Carcinogens, Mutagens and Reprotoxic substances Directive 2004/37/EC (CMRD). The IA states that more than 170,000 workers still lose their lives each year due to work-related illnesses. The IA identifies five problem drivers and details the consequences. The need for an added value EU action is explained in a subsidiarity grid. The general objective is broken into four specific objectives. The preferred options ...

The present impact assessment (IA) is part of the Commission proposals for the EU spending programmes under the post-2027 multiannual financial framework (MFF). It acknowledges from the start that it deviates from the scope and depth of a standard IA by invoking Tool #9 of the Better Regulation toolbox, which governs the law-making process for spending programmes and financial instruments, including the MFF. While recognising the applicability of BRG Tool #9, the Regulatory Scrutiny Board delivered ...

The nationally pre-allocated envelopes proposal is included in the post-2027 multiannual financial framework package (2028-2034 MFF). It aims to bring together current MFF programmes or strands and regroup them into a single national and regional partnership plan (NRPP) for each Member State. The IA refers to Tool #9 of the Better Regulation Toolbox, acknowledging that the 'special case of preparing a new multiannual financial framework is a unique process requiring a specific approach as regards ...

The IA is part of the second package of Commission proposals for programmes under the 2028 2034 multiannual financial framework (MFF). It acknowledges from the start that it deviates from the scope and standard IA methods defined by the Commission's better regulation guidelines and toolbox, which affects all parts of the IA. Another particularity is the fact that the IA is entirely qualitative and does not provide any quantified estimates, either for the problem definition, or for the impacts, or ...

The proposal for a Global Europe instrument is included in the post-2027 multiannual financial framework (MFF) package, which aims to be simpler than previous regulations and to provide additional flexibility (over and above MFF ceilings). The new instrument merges the Neighbourhood, Development, International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe; the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance, humanitarian aid; the Ukraine Facility, the Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans; and the ...

The IA assesses a Commission proposal to establish an EU-wide expenditure-tracking and performance framework for the post-2027 MFF, aligned with the changes introduced by the 2024 recast of the Financial Regulation. The IA focuses on the implementation of the 'do no significant harm' (DNSH) and gender equality principles. It clearly identifies problems across the three pillars of the EU budget – programming, monitoring and reporting – and elaborates on their drivers. While the specific objectives ...

On 21 October 2025, the European Commission under Ursula von der Leyen's second mandate adopted its work programme for 2026 (2026 CWP). In line with the Commission President's political guidelines and letter of intent and highlighting the need for full implementation of Mario Draghi's competitiveness report, the 2026 CWP places a strong emphasis on competitiveness, innovation and collective security. In parallel, the Commission commits to advancing simplification, implementation, and this year, also ...

The IA underpins the proposals establishing the AgoraEU, Erasmus+ and Justice programmes (2028-2034). It refers to Better Regulation Tool #9 which acknowledges that 'the special case of preparing a new MFF is a unique process requiring a specific approach as regards scope and depth of analysis'. In addition, it explains that, as 'the structure of the next MFF will significantly differ from the current one, budget assumptions for each programme are unreliable at this stage', and the assessment is ...

This study provides a complementary impact assessment of the proposed Council directive on equal treatment outside of employment on the grounds of religion or belief, disability, age, and sexual orientation. It covers all EU Member States. Moreover, it includes five case studies: Czechia, Germany, Italy, Romania and Sweden. It reviews the necessity of the proposed EU initiative and its added value, considering subsidiarity and proportionality. The study analyses the coherence of the proposed directive ...

The impact assessment (IA) acknowledges a deviation from the scope and the depth of analysis of standard IAs as defined in the Better Regulation Guidelines (BRG) and Toolbox by reference to Tool #9 (special case of preparing a new multiannual financial framework). While the Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB) acknowledged the applicability of Tool #9, it concluded that the draft IA report contained significant shortcomings spread across almost all sections. It appears that the recommendations of the ...
