Rules for exercising the Union's rights in implementing and enforcing EU UK agreements
The Withdrawal Agreement (WA) and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) between the EU and the UK set the terms for the UK’s departure from the Union and a framework for future relations. Tensions surfaced, mainly related to fisheries and the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland (the Protocol), which is a part of the WA.

European critical infrastructure: Revision of Directive 2008/114/EC
Council Directive 2008/114/EC is part of the EU framework for critical infrastructure protection. While embracing an all-hazards approach, its scope is limited to the sectors energy and transport. This is widely considered a shortcoming. Calls for broadening its scope and for refocussing the directive on resilience rather than just protection, and interconnectivity of critical infrastructures resulted in a new legislative proposal the Commission presented in December 2020.
Digital Services Act
E-commerce is an essential part of the economy and of consumers shopping habits. It can support EU citizens in accessing services more easily and businesses reaching customers more targeted.

Enforcement of consumer protection legislation
European consumers enjoy a high level of rights, but when the rules protecting them are broken, they need to be enforced.

In the 2019 consumer conditions scoreboard poll, one in five consumers said that they had encountered problems when buying a product or service in the previous 12 months. However, whereas two thirds of them had complained ...
Updating the Blocking Regulation: The EU's answer to US extraterritorial sanctions
On 8 May 2018, President Trump announced the unilateral US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the landmark nuclear agreement signed by Iran and the E3/EU+3 – France, Germany, the UK and the EU plus China, Russia and the USA – in 2015. He also announced that the US would re-impose sanctions on Iran that had been lifted as part of the implementation of the JCPOA. These sanctions have extraterritorial effect, essentially making it illegal for EU companies and financial institutions ...
I cittadini dell'Unione e i loro diritti
La cittadinanza europea, sancita dai trattati (articolo 20 del trattato sul funzionamento dell'Unione europea (TFUE) e articolo 9 del trattato sull'Unione europea (TUE)), rappresenta un fattore essenziale per la formazione dell'identità europea. Essa si differenzia dalla cittadinanza degli Stati membri, che integra, soprattutto per il fatto che i diritti che conferisce ai cittadini non prevedono doveri.
Mining Waste Directive 2006/21/EC
In the aftermath of two major accidents involving the spill of hazardous extractive waste, the Mining Waste Directive 2006/21/EC was adopted at EU level with the aim to prevent, or reduce as far as possible, the adverse effects from extractive waste management on health and the environment. The deadline for transposition of the directive by the Member States expired on 1 May 2008. Research indicates that all Member States (EU-27) have experienced transposition problems in terms of 'timing' or 'quality ...
