On 28 July 2023, the European Commission adopted a proposal to revise EU toy safety legislation, by introducing a new regulation and repealing Directive 2009/48/EC. The proposal pursues two main objectives: a higher level of child protection, including from the most hazardous substances; and fewer non-compliant and unsafe toys on the EU market. In relation to the first objective, the proposal extends the scope to children's psychological and mental health and to their wellbeing and cognitive development ...

Deepfakes – videos, images and audio created using artificial intelligence (AI) to realistically simulate or fabricate content – are booming on the internet. They are becoming increasingly accessible, as what previously required powerful tools can now be done with free mobile apps and limited digital skills. At the same time, they are becoming increasingly sophisticated and therefore more difficult to detect, especially audio deepfakes. While deepfakes have applications in entertainment and creativity ...

The problems posed by the increasingly high numbers of online purchases made by EU consumers, particularly from third-country traders, have risen to the top of the political agenda. During the July part-session, Parliament will vote on the report adopted by the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) on product safety and regulatory compliance in e-commerce and non-EU imports.

Evropski energijski trg je konkurenčen, osredotočen na odjemalce, prožen in nediskriminatoren. Njegovi ukrepi se nanašajo na dostop do trga, preglednost in regulacijo, varstvo potrošnikov, medsebojne povezave in zanesljivost oskrbe. Z njimi se večajo pravice posameznih odjemalcev, energetskih skupnosti in ranljivih odjemalcev, pojasnjujejo vloga in odgovornosti udeležencev na trgu in regulatorjev ter spodbuja razvoj vseevropskih energetskih omrežij.

Nedavni pretresi, kot sta pandemija covida-19 in vojna v Ukrajini, so pokazali ne le ranljivost enotnega trga v krizah, temveč tudi, v kolikšni meri je dobro delovanje trga pomembno za konkurenčnost EU.Digitalni enotni trg ima preoblikovalno vlogo, saj koristi gospodarstvu, zmanjšuje vpliv na okolje ter z e-trgovino in e-upravo izboljšuje kakovost življenja. Zaradi prehoda storitev s fiksnih na mobilne platforme je potreben okvir EU za računalništvo v oblaku, čezmejni dostop do vsebin in nemotene ...

Glavni cilj pravil EU o konkurenci je omogočiti pravilno delovanje notranjega trga EU. Cilj Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (PDEU) je preprečiti omejevanje in izkrivljanje konkurence, kot so zloraba prevladujočega položaja, protikonkurenčni sporazumi ter združitve in prevzemi, v primeru, da bi zmanjšali konkurenco. Državna pomoč, ki povzroča izkrivljanje konkurence, je sicer prepovedana, vendar se lahko vseeno odobri v posebnih primerih.

Prosti pretok blaga je bil okrepljen z odpravo carin in drugih necarinskih ovir. Notranji trg je še dodatno napredoval na podlagi načel, kot sta vzajemno priznavanje in standardizacija. Novi zakonodajni okvir iz leta 2008 je še okrepil prosti pretok blaga, nadzor trga EU in oznako evropske skladnosti CE. Vseeno izzivi za harmonizacijo notranjega trga ostajajo in drugi dejavniki še vedno ovirajo popolnoma prosti pretok blaga.
