In a context of increasing interest related costs for the EU budget, the workshop provided an opportunity to asses and discuss with key EU, academic and market stakeholders the drivers and dynamics underpinning the costs of EU borrowing operations.
The workshop covered a series of important questions regarding the financial instruments that are needed to reach the environmental goals that are set out in the Paris Agreement to which the EU and all its Member States are signatories. More specifically, the question was raised how much has been committed so far financially and how much of this is the EU’s contribution.
The Committee on Budgets held a workshop on gender budgeting to take stock of its practical implementation. The speakers presented concrete experiences made in this field by the Commission and national administrations, as well as the requests by the International Women Alliance in this regard. The workshop gave Members the opportunity to acquire further knowledge to continue promoting gender budgeting in European Parliament co-legislator activity.
