Lobbies: transparence nouvelle du Parlement européen - Sauvons l'Europe. Le 30 janvier dernier, un vote important a eu lieu au Parlement européen: les acteurs clés de l’adoption d’un texte législatif ont été soumis à la transparence de leurs rencontres avec les lobbies.
Sont concernés: le Président de la Commission examinant le texte, le rapporteur et les contre-rapporteurs (ou « shadow » dans le jargon local). Ils ont un rôle extrêmement important, car contrairement au Parlement français les députés européens ont un impact réel sur les textes, la procédure proprement parlementaire s’achevant par une négociation de conciliation (dite Trilogue) entre le Parlement, la Commission et le Conseil des Etats. Le Rapporteur a pour travail de rassembler une majorité sur le texte, dans un Parlement où aucun groupe politique n’est dominant, et d’établir un consensus. Les contre-rapporteurs représentent les partis européens au sein desquels ils cherchent également à obtenir un consensus, et visent à influencer le rapport officiel. Legislative Observatory.

EU Ecolabel Success Story: Neutral EU Ecolabel: Reducing the Ecological Impact of Textile Dyeing From organic cotton and eco-friendly wool to recycled polyester, the upholstery fabrics industry is transitioning towards more eco-friendly practices.
The EU Ecolabel is an efficient solution for companies seeking to adopt these good practices. It is no secret that textile manufacturing degrades the environment through toxic wastewater. If we look at dyes alone, up to 200,000 tons of textile dye are discharged as liquid waste every year due to inefficiencies during the dyeing process (almost 10-50% of colourants are lost).

The European Commission is working with the Member States to stimulate the provision of loans and venture capital for SMEs. Evaluation report: Evaluation of Market Practices and Policies on SME Rating Getting an innovative firm off the ground or expanding it requires money, but financing SMEs is a risky proposition for financiers. To solve this, Europe needs more investors and banks willing to take the risk, and European entrepreneurs need a better understanding of investors' and banks' concerns in order to be able to provide assurances about the soundness of their proposal.

Civil society & local authorities.
Civil society and the broader set of non-state actors (NSAs) and Local Authorities (LA) are privileged partners of the EU.
Support from the EU for these actors encourages them to work towards better governance and more participatory development, increasingly involving citizens through their specific, often complementary, approaches. To facilitate its relationship with civil society and local authorities, the EC has established a space for dialogue and tools tailored to their specific requirements. What's On. Scope Archive.
