Titre : The AidWatch report 2017 Type de document : document électronique Editeur : CONCORD Année de publication : 2017 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Europe Tags : Aide au développement Résumé : Since 2005, CONCORD AidWatch monitors and makes recommendations on the quality and quantity of aid provided by the European Union Member States and the European Commission. What did aid spendings look like in 2016? Are we on the right way to eradicating inequality? The EU and its 28 member states remain the world’s largest development donor in 2016. Still, the EU is far from meeting the collective 0,7% ODA/GNI goal. At the current rate of increase of ‘genuine’ aid, Europe would not close the gap until 2052… What’s more, in the past couple of years, the EU has introduced a number of new policy frameworks that influence the direction of the EU’s development cooperation agenda by introducing different objectives: migration, security, commercial expansion. Are these new objectives diverting the attention from the main purpose of EU development cooperation?
The publication will provide insights on the successes and failures of the EU to ensure Member States to make significant progress towards the Aid targets: what is the Development Aid budget used for? For whom? And how?The AidWatch report 2017 [document électronique] . - [S.l.] : CONCORD, 2017.

Titre : The fire power of the financial lobby : A survey of the size of the financial lobby at the EU level Type de document : document électronique Editeur : Brussels : Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) Année de publication : April 2014 Importance : 24 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Europe
LobbyingTags : Finance international Lobbying UE Résumé : The enormous influence and destructive power of financial markets became apparent with the global economic collapse of 2008 which fuelled a financial crisis from which Europe has yet to recover. These events revealed the dire need for stronger rules on financial markets. But reform has proved difficult, not least due to successful campaigns waged by the financial lobby in the European Union: its “fire power” in resisting reforms it dislikes has been all too evident with issues such as banking regulation, derivatives, credit rating agencies, accountting rules, and many more.
Despite this manifest presence of “the financial lobby”, until now there has been no comprehensive survey of its size and power in the EU. This report is intended to fill that void.
The findings are stunning. In total the financial industry spends more than €120 million per year on lobbying in Brussels and employs more than 1700 lobbyists. The financial industry lobbied the post-crisis EU regulation via over 700 organisations and outnumbered civil-society organisations and trade unions by a factor of more than seven, with an even stronger dominance when numbers of staff and lobbying expenses are taken into account. In sum the financial lobby is massively outspending other (public) interests in terms of EU lobbying, by a factor of more than 30.En ligne : http://corporateeurope.org/financial-lobby/2014/04/fire-power-financial-lobby The fire power of the financial lobby : A survey of the size of the financial lobby at the EU level [document électronique] . - Brussels : Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO), April 2014 . - 24 p.
