Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia's unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine has brought human tragedy to Europe's doorstep. The Union has responded swiftly and decisively, by providing humanitarian aid, emergency assistance and large-scale support to Member States to support people fleeing Ukraine. Coordinated sanctions are in place, combined with measures to cope with all-time high energy prices and ending Europe's dependency on Russian oil and gas, including through REPowerEU, which will form, inter alia, an integral part of the recovery and resilience plans of the Member States. As set out in the Communication on Ukraine relief and reconstruction, a major long-term reconstruction effort to rebuild Ukraine will be required, whereas additional support will also be needed in the short-term. This should include macro-financial assistance to the Ukrainian government, complemented by providing emergency assistance and humanitarian aid. Given the prevailing uncertainties about the scale and nature of the support required, notably for the reconstruction phase, the Commission will present an amending letter to the Draft Budget for this purpose later this year. At the same time, the year 2023 should see the Union and its Member States recover further from the economic, social and health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Economic recovery from the pandemic is underway as societies have reopened across Europe, thanks to the large-scale rollout of vaccines. However, pressure on healthcare systems, staff shortages, supply bottlenecks and rapidly increasing energy prices have all contributed to high inflationary pressures. Against the backdrop of the uncertainties surrounding the ways in which the economic impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine will evolve, this implies that the full deployment of the EU budget and the European Union Recovery Instrument, NextGenerationEU, will be key to providing a boost to the EU's economy. The draft budget 2023 reflects these challenges alongside the priorities of the Union under the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for 2021-2027, underpinning the green and digital transitions to make the European economy fairer, more resilient and more sustainable for future generations. This is even more important in the current context of geopolitical instability and rising global challenges. To harness the full potential of the EU budget to mobilise investment and frontload financial support to provide a boost to the economy in the crucial first years of recovery, the draft budget is boosted by additional funding from NextGenerationEU. As an exceptional instrument put in place for a temporary period, NextGenerationEU gives the EU budget the additional firepower to drive essential crisis response and recovery measures. Commitments from NextGenerationEU are available until 2023, whereas payments can be made until the end of 2026. The non-repayable part of NextGenerationEU constitutes external assigned revenue. The corresponding appropriations are entered on the relevant budget lines and are used to frontload financial support and target reform priorities, in particular through the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). Moreover, it reinforces programmes that are key to recovery and to the digital and green transitions, such as Horizon Europe, InvestEU, the enhanced EU Civil Protection Mechanism, including rescEU, and cohesion policy under the REACT-EU as well as rural development and the Just Transition Mechanism (JTM).

Download or read book Financing the EU Budget written by Gabriele Cipriani and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often described as complex, opaque and unfair, the EU budget financing system is an “unfinished journey.” One of the most critical issues is that EU revenue, drawn from the cashbox of national taxation, remains impalpable to the general public. The nature of the EU as a union of states and their nationals makes the visibility of EU revenue unavoidable. The political sustainability of a move that would put the legitimacy of EU revenue at the forefront of public discussion will depend on the European Commission’s ability to show that EU funds can achieve results that are truly beyond member states’ reach. The value-added tax (VAT) is a natural choice for funding the EU budget, through a dedicated EU VAT rate as part of the national VAT and designed as such in fiscal receipts, whose use as a means for raising EU citizens’ awareness could be encouraged already in the current arrangements.
Download or read book Violence Against Women written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Violence against women undermines women's core fundamental rights such as dignity, access to justice and gender equality. For example, one in three women has experienced physical and/or sexual violence since the age of 15; one in five women has experienced stalking; every second woman has been confronted with one or more forms of sexual harassment. What emerges is a picture of extensive abuse that affects many women's lives but is systematically underreported to the authorities. The scale of violence against women is therefore not reflected by official data. This FRA survey is the first of its kind on violence against women across the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is based on interviews with 42,000 women across the EU, who were asked about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, including incidents of intimate partner violence ('domestic violence'). The survey also included questions on stalking, sexual harassment, and the role played by new technologies in women's experiences of abuse. In addition, it asked about their experiences of violence in childhood. Based on the detailed findings, FRA suggests courses of action in different areas that are touched by violence against women and go beyond the narrow confines of criminal law, ranging from employment and health to the medium of new technologies."--Editor.
Download or read book An Anatomy of Tax Havens written by Paul R. Beckett and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tax havens in offshore lands like Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas were once considered a rarity, the preserve of the super-rich. Today, they are big business available to the masses. Their goal? To avoid any form of accountability. Own nothing. Possess everything. Be answerable to no one. Where are these tax havens? What forms can they take? What future lies in store for them, and why should we care? An Anatomy of Tax Havens: Europe, the Caribbean and the United States of America answers these questions, and more, in the first comparative study in one volume of European, Caribbean and United States tax havens. It examines their simple origin to the extreme forms some take today, delving into the murky subculture that has deliberately made them impenetrably obscure. Uniquely, it combines detailed technical expertise (regulatory regimes, financial crime, legal and equitable structuring) with an analysis of their impact on domestic and global political, economic, environmental and social concerns. An Anatomy of Tax Havens is a fascinating, informative read for a broad readership; from legal, accountancy and tax practitioners to compliance regulators, law enforcement agencies, and students and researchers interested in business studies, taxation, and crime.
