The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs gives its opinion on the proposed regulation setting up the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security for 2028-2034. It proposes amendments to add democracy, rule of law and Charter safeguards, including a new 'democracy and rule of law' horizontal condition and a financial interests condition. It wants the Commission to decide on non-fulfilment by delegated act, to inform and publish decisions, and to redirect decommitted funds to civil society. It also seeks stronger protection of the EU's financial interests, cooperation with the EPPO, and independent complaint mechanisms.
Position. The committee proposes amendments to strengthen democracy, rule of law and Charter safeguards, protect the EU's financial interests, and increase transparency and parliamentary oversight of the Fund.
Key points
- Adds Article 325(4) TFEU to the legal basis of the proposed regulation.
- Adds new recitals requiring respect for Charter rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
- Amends recitals to require Member States to review NRP Plans annually, to support media freedom and pluralism, and to inform Parliament on horizontal enabling conditions.
- Adds a recital that decommitted funds should be redirected to non-governmental beneficiaries and civil society organisations in the same Member State.
- Amends recitals to require stakeholder consultation, Commission guidance on milestones and targets, and public scrutiny of suspension and release of funds.
- Adds recitals on countering fraud, informing Parliament on rule of law and Charter provisions, and reporting criminal conduct to the EPPO.
- Amends Article 2 to include protecting and strengthening the rule of law among the Fund's objectives.
- Amends Article 3 to add objectives on cross-border connectivity, security, countering disinformation and organised crime, and digitalisation.
- Amends Article 7 to require Member States to prevent, detect and address breaches of democracy and rule of law principles, assessed by the Commission on objective criteria.
- Amends Article 8 to require independent complaint mechanisms and to define non-fulfilment of the Charter horizontal condition.
- Amends Article 9 so the Commission adopts a delegated act determining non-fulfilment of the democracy and rule of law horizontal condition, with criteria for releasing suspended funds.
- Adds a PIF horizontal condition and requires Member States to protect the EU's financial interests, report to the EPPO and handle complaints within one year.

| Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 42, Article 43(3), Article 46, point (d), Article 91(1), point (d), Article 149, Article 153 (2), point (a), and Articles 164, 175, 177 and 178, Article 192(1), Article 194(2), Article 209(1), Article 212(2), Article 322(1), point (a), and Article 349, thereof, | Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 42, Article 43(3), Article 46, point (d), Article 91(1), point (d), Article 149, Article 153 (2), point (a), and Articles 164, 175, 177 and 178, Article 192(1), Article 194(2), Article 209(1), Article 212(2), Article 322(1), point (a), Article 325(4) and Article 349, thereof, |

| (6a) Horizontal principles as set out in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and in Article 10 TFEU, including the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality as set out in Article 5 TEU, should be respected in the implementation of the Funds, taking into account the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the ‘Charter’). Member States should also respect the obligations set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and ensure accessibility in line with Article 9 thereof and in accordance with Union law harmonising accessibility requirements for products and services. |

| (7) The Union needs to achieve its objectives within a challenging economic, social and demographic context including persisting regional and territorial disparities, the impacts of climate change and challenges related to food security and nature protection, insufficient and uneven progress on the Union’s digital transformation, undermining efforts to strengthen the Union’s digital sovereignty as well as significant economic and social consequences. That is coupled with a challenging geopolitical and geoeconomic context that has an impact on the Union’s defence, security (including economic security) and migration policies. Effectively addressing these challenges requires a more focused, simple and impactful Union budget, to ensure the Union added value and clear alignment between Union financial support and Union policy priorities across all policy areas and management modes and to [continue efforts to] simplify rules on Union financial support. | (7) The Union needs to achieve its objectives within a challenging economic, social and demographic context including persisting regional and territorial disparities, the impacts of climate change and challenges related to food security and nature protection, insufficient and uneven progress on the Union’s digital transformation, undermining efforts to strengthen the Union’s digital sovereignty as well as significant economic and social consequences.

| (17) Measures supporting people and strengthening Union’s societies and the Union’s social model should contribute to the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights and achieving its headline targets, in accordance with the guidelines for employment referred to in Article 148(4) TFEU, by supporting projects in the policy areas of employment and labour mobility, skills development, education, social inclusion and poverty reduction, and therefore strengthening the Union’s resilience and competitiveness. They should aim to ensure equal opportunities, equal access to the labour market, fair and quality working condition, social protection and inclusion, in particular focusing on enhancing labour supply, ensuring quality and inclusive education and training, lifelong learning and material support for the most deprived, closing existing gaps, including gender gaps. The measures should support investments in children and young people, marginalised and disadvantaged communities, third country nationals and should ensure equal access to services. They should also contribute to strengthening the resilience of the healthcare systems and long-term care services, support social and affordable housing and focus on achieving a socially fair transition towards climate neutrality, addressing the social impacts of the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and road transport within the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. | (17) Measures supporting people and strengthening Union’s societies and the Union’s social model should contribute to the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights and achieving its headline targets, in accordance with the guidelines for employment referred to in Article 148(4) TFEU, by supporting projects in the policy areas of employment and labour mobility, skills development, education, social inclusion and poverty reduction, and therefore strengthening the Union’s resilience and competitiveness, including through the reduction of administrative burdens and by facilitating SMEs' access to funding and support measures.

| (20) In order to protect, strengthen democracy, rule of law and uphold Union values, support should be dedicated to sustaining and further developing open, rights-based, democratic, equal and inclusive societies as well as to strengthening justice systems, anti-corruption frameworks, media pluralism and effective checks and balances. The measures should also aim to contribute to better governance by enhancing the efficiency of public administration, including judicial authorities, and the institutional capacity of public authorities and stakeholders in Member States, regions and local communities. This should enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of supported measures. To ensure that the social dimension of Europe as set out in the European Pillar of Social Rights is duly put forward and that a sufficient amount of resources is targeting those most in need, Member States should allocate resources to fostering social inclusion. Due to the particular need to support children in poverty Member States should also programme resources to address the measures under the Child Guarantee. In light of persistently high levels of youth unemployment and inactivity in a number of Member States and regions, in particular affecting young people who are neither in employment, nor in education or training, it is necessary that those Member States continue to invest sufficient resources towards measures to promote youth employment, including through the implementation of the Youth Guarantee. Member States should therefore allocate an appropriate amount of resources to this challenge. Member States seriously affected by youth unemployment should allocate resources of the ESF to support youth employability. | (20) In order to protect, strengthen democracy, rule of law and uphold Union values, support should be dedicated to sustaining and further developing open, rights-based, democratic, equal and inclusive societies as well as to strengthening justice systems, anti-corruption frameworks, media freedom and pluralism and effective checks and balances.

| (25) The NRP Plans aim to ensure high value for money by making payments from the Commission to Member States conditional upon the achievement of outputs and the fulfilment of conditions agreed, irrespective of the form of reimbursement from Member States to beneficiaries. Linking disbursements with agreed and pre-set milestones, targets and outputs covering the full lifespan of the supported measure will contribute to the regularity of payments to Member States. To facilitate this process, Member States should be able to submit payment applications up to six times a year. To simplify financing and reduce administrative burden for beneficiaries, Member States are encouraged to use the same form of reimbursement applied for payments from the Commission to Member State or standard scales of unit costs, lump sums or flat rates. | (25) The NRP Plans aim to ensure high value for money by making payments from the Commission to Member States conditional upon the achievement of outputs and the fulfilment of conditions agreed, irrespective of the form of reimbursement from Member States to beneficiaries. Linking disbursements with agreed and pre-set milestones, targets and outputs covering the full lifespan of the supported measure will contribute to the regularity of payments to Member States. It is important that milestones and targets are clearly and precisely defined so as to provide clarity on the conditions under which they are considered fulfilled, to enable objective verification, and to ensure legal certainty in the disbursement process. To facilitate this process, Member States should be able to submit payment applications up to six times a year. To simplify financing and reduce administrative burden for beneficiaries, Member States are encouraged to use the same form of reimbursement applied for payments from the Commission to Member State or standard scales of unit costs, lump sums or flat rates. |

| (27) This Regulation should include strong safeguards to ensure that the Fund is implemented in a way that ensures respect with the rights, freedoms and principles set out in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and of the principles of the rule of law as set out in Article 2(a) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2092 of the European Parliament and of the Council2 . Therefore, as part of the validation process of their NRP Plans, Member States should provide assurance on the fulfilment of these two horizontal conditions, with an identification of potential deficiencies and remedial actions based, in particular, on the country-specific challenges identified in the context of the Rule of Law Report and European Semester, as well as infringement proceedings and judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union. All Member States should be required to review their NRP Plans halfway through implementation, as part of the mid-term review, to address any new deficiencies identified, in particular, in the context of the latest Rule of Law Report. At any time during the implementation and following exchanges with the Member State concerned, there should be a possibility to block part or all of the payments made to a Member State if one or more of the Rule of Law and Charter horizontal conditions is not fulfilled. With due regard to the principle of proportionality, the determination of the non-fulfilment and identification of the specific measures concerned should take into account the actual or potential impact of the non-fulfilment on the sound financial management of the Union budget or on the financial interests of the Unions as well as the nature, duration, gravity and scope of the breach. | (27) This Regulation should include strong safeguards to ensure that the Fund is implemented in a way that ensures respect for the rights, freedoms and principles set out in the Charter and the principles of democracy and the rule of law as set out in Article 2 TEU and specified, in particular, in Article 2(a) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2092 of the European Parliament and of the Council2 . Therefore, as part of the validation process of their NRP Plans, Member States should provide assurance on the fulfilment of these two horizontal conditions, with an identification of potential deficiencies and remedial actions based, in particular, on the country-specific challenges identified in the context of the Rule of Law Report and European Semester, as well as infringement proceedings and judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union. All Member States should be required to review their NRP Plans on an annual basis throughout their implementation, in order to address any new deficiencies identified, in particular, in the context of the latest Rule of Law Report. That review should, where appropriate, lead to the proposal of amendments to the NRP Plans to ensure their continued effectiveness, compliance with Article 2 TEU, and alignment with evolving challenges and priorities. For that purpose, the Commission should translate its recommendations into concrete and operational requirements, identifying the specific changes necessary to the NRP Plans, including, where appropriate, targeted measures, milestones and timelines for their implementation process. At any time during the implementation and following exchanges with the Member State concerned, there should be a possibility to block part or all of the payments made to a Member State if one or more of the Rule of Law and Charter horizontal conditions is not fulfilled.

| (27a) Independent and pluralistic media are a cornerstone of democratic societies and a key element of the rule of law. They play a crucial role in safeguarding democratic resilience, including by countering disinformation and foreign interference. Member States should therefore ensure that measures included in their NRP Plans support media pluralism and independence, including through stable and predictable funding models and protection from political and economic interference. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| (27b) In order to ensure transparency and allow for effective parliamentary oversight of the implementation of the Fund, the Commission should provide the European Parliament with timely and comprehensive information regarding the horizontal enabling conditions. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (27c) Where funds are decommitted due to a Member State's failure to respect the values of Article 2 TEU, it is essential that the local population and civil society are not unfairly penalised. Therefore, mechanisms should be established to ensure that forfeited resources are redirected toward non-governmental beneficiaries and civil society organisations within the same Member State, ensuring that Union support continues to reach those who uphold European values. |

Member States should design and implement the NRP Plans in partnership with local and regional authorities, economic, social and rural partners and civil society organisations and other relevant stakeholders in accordance with the national legal framework and the rules set out in this Regulation. The NRP Plans should be designed in close cooperation with the Commission, prepared in accordance with the template provided and made publicly available following their adoption by the Council on the basis of the Commission’s assessment and proposal for a Council implementing decision. In line with current arrangements, Member States will have the possibility to include regional and territorial chapters in their NRP Plan and should be required to ensure that regional managing authorities receive regular payments, based on the progress of their respective measures, and an amount at least equivalent to their Union contribution by the end of the period, subject to potential corrections resulting from the implementation of their respective chapter(s). To ensure effective governance of the NRP Plan, Member States should set up monitoring committees for the chapters and a coordinating committee at the level of the NRP Plan. | (29) Each Member State should submit to the Commission a NRP Plan, as a rule, by 31 January 2028 so that it can be given careful and timely consideration.
