Printed in Spain PRINTED ON WHITE CHLORINE-FREE PAPER Acknowledgments In early 2008 the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation decided to take stock of its first half-century of work. To put this into effect we consulted numerous sources of documentation, including of course the Commission’s historical archives, and spoke to a hundred or so former and current members of the translation service and to representatives of other Directorates-General. While writing the first draft we realised that this retrospective might be of interest to a wider audience than the Institution’s staff alone. That is how this publication came about.

  • COVID-19 Summary of EU Economic Response
    COVID-19 Summary of EU Economic Response Key points • The European Commission and the EIB have pledged dozens of billions of euros to help Member States and EU financial institutions provide the necessary liquidity to EU businesses • Several of these programmes will be specifically dedicated to SMEs and mid-caps, including, through the EIF, those supported by venture capital funds • The ECB has promised to do “whatever it takes” to counter the risk of monetary policy transmission • Temporary legal amendments have been introduced to ensure Member States are able to take the appropriate and necessary actions to sustain viable businesses Summary of EU economic response While most of the attention over the past few days has been on the policy measures taken at national level to provide support to companies affected by the Covid-19 crisis, several actions were also taken at EU level to help, directly or indirectly, businesses to bear the burden posed by the pandemic on their activities. 1. Commitments through the European budget (MFF) The European Commission, with the support of the European Investment Fund (EIF), has launched different programmes within the remit of the existing EU budget. Some of these will be directly available to private equity-backed portfolio companies, others will help Member States to take additional measures to support their economy. a) Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative (CRII) From 13 March, the EU has quickly mobilised cash reserves from the EU funds to provide immediate liquidity to Member States' budgets, increasing directly the amount of investment in 2020 to fight the crisis. The scope of the EU solidarity fund was also increased in light of the public health crisis.

  • Regional Resilience and Discontent in the European Union
    Draft and reduced version of the paper: Regional Resilience and Discontent in the European Union Chiara Ferrante Sapienza University of Rome Marco Colagrossi European Commission, Joint Research Centre (JRC), Ispra Nicola Pontarollo European Commission, Joint Research Centre (JRC), Ispra The 2007-2008 financial and banking crisis rapidly spread in Europe, nurturing a severe economic crisis which involved mostly all countries, challenging their ability to recover and restore their growth path. Moreover, the Great Recession affected European countries unevenly, determining regional inequalities, within and between countries (Arestis et al., 2011). Among the effects, less job opportunities and lower social mobility affected, particularly, less dynamic regions and cities and worsened the social conditions of people with a lower social status (Corrado and Corrado, 2011). Indeed, many regions were left outside the agglomeration process going on in metropolitan cities. This rapid growth and GDP concentration involving only dynamic regions fuelled grievances in many local communities, left without support from the institutions (Hendrickson et al., 2018). The regional heterogeneities and the rise of spatial inequalities are among the determinants for intra- and inter- regional conflicts, which may result in a social, economic and political time of instability (Ezcurra and Rodriguez-Pose, 2014). The rising discontent across territories revealed itself in the ballot box, where people expressed their mistrust towards the institutions and the political system, perceived as unable to face their problems and needs (Rodriguez-Pose, 2018). Votes became the expressions of the socio-economic and geographical contexts and, as shown by Dijkstra et al. (2018), they are mirroring the grown feeling of resentment in some territories.

    THE EFFECT OF LIMITED RENEWABLE RESOURCES ON THE ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN A LOW-CARBON EUROPE Pablo Ruiz, Institute for Energy and Transport, Joint Research Centre – European Commission * Westerduinweg 3, NL-1755LE Petten, The Netherlands Phone: +31-224-565150, [email protected] Sofia Simoes, Institute for Energy and Transport, Joint Research Centre – European Commission* Wouter Nijs, Institute for Energy and Transport, Joint Research Centre – European Commission* Alessandra Sgobbi, Institute for Energy and Transport, Joint Research Centre – European Commission* Christian Thiel, Institute for Energy and Transport, Joint Research Centre – European Commission* *The views expressed are purely those of the authors and may not in any circumstances be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission. Overview Renewable-based electricity generation technologies are recognized to be a major-prerequisite to reach a sustainable and secure energy system by 2050 (European Commission, 2011). From an energy-systems analysis perspective, a significant increase in the relevance of renewable electricity generation technologies is foreseen (European Commission, 2013) both in current policies scenarios and in those targeting over 80% CO2 emission reductions in 2050. Usually the impact of current and future technology cost on their competitiveness is analysed (European Commission, 2013), while less attention has been given to investigate the total amount of renewable resources available. Work has been already conducted to evaluate these renewable potentials (Resch et al., 2008), but still substantial uncertainties remain due to methodological challenges or due to coarse measuring resolution (Badger & Ejsing Jørgensen, 2011). In this paper we will assess the sensitivity of the electricity mix evolution to the available renewable energy sources potentials by analysing the response of the partial equilibrium energy model JRC-EU-TIMES (Simoes et al., 2013) in the 2020-2050 time frame.

    European research and innovation in a new geopolitical arena Report European research and innovation in a new geopolitical arena 2 Authors Laurens Hessels, Sue-Yen Tjong Tjin Tai, Julia Jansen and Jasper Deuten Illustration Rathenau Instituut Cover photo Christening the TU Delft Solar Boat 2018 – (c) Hollandse Hoogte Preferred citation: Rathenau Instituut (2020). European science and innovation in a new geopolitical arena. The Hague (authors: Hessels, L., S. Y. Tjong Tjin Tai, J. Jansen & J. Deuten) European research and innovation in a new geopolitical arena 3 Foreword This publication brings together information of relevance to the European Union’s research policy. In particular, the Rathenau Instituut aims to describe what research cooperation in the EU (the European Research Area) means for academic research in the Netherlands. In the coming months, the European Commission will be presenting the successor to the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, called ‘Horizon Europe’. The EU has become more important than ever as a source of research funding since the launch of Horizon 2020. Horizon 2020 had a budget of 78.6 billion euros for the 2014-2020 period. Dutch researchers have been relatively successful at obtaining funding from the programme, making the EU an important source of funding for research in the Netherlands. But the EU has become more than simply an additional source of funding for researchers. It also influences the agenda setting, programming, organisation, utilisation, and infrastructures of scientific research. For example, the Horizon 2020 programme identified societal challenges as guideposts for research. The European Research Council encourages research ‘excellence’ by organising funding across the EU on a competitive basis.
