[Alberto Alemanno 🇪🇺 @alemannoEU]

The Commission just presented the most structurally ambitious reform of EU policy-making since the Better Regulation Agenda in 2002, and the most ideologically charged.

Where previous reforms improved the BR toolkit as a governance instrument, this one repurposes it entirely, deploying it simultaneously:

•to erode procedural safeguards (two-tiered IAs, formalised derogations, flexible consultation)

•to systematically dismantle parts of the existing acquis (Deep Cleaning)

•to centralise implementation and enforcement (what I’d call the federal turn)

Combined with the anti-gold-plating drive and the formalised derogation powers, the Communication effectively creates an institutionalised channel through which external (including the US administration) deregulatory pressure can be translated into EU legislative action, with reduced procedural safeguards and limited independent oversight.

Thread follows. Full Communication: https://t.co/MddGGvj2Cu

Fun question. You’d think something as simple as titles would have a simple answer. But in the UN, we’ll never resign in the face of simplicity!

So here’s a complicated—and still patchy—answer: 🧶

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Done deal!

Europe now has a common list of safe countries of origin and updated rules on the application of the safe third country concept.

The agreements reached between @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil make Europe’s asylum system more efficient, more flexible and more harmonised.

These new provisions will strengthen borders, speed up procedures and support Member States under pressure.

This is an important step towards the full implementation of the Migration and Asylum Pact.

Thanks to @EP_Justice Chair @zarzalejosj, Rapporteurs @LenaDuepontMdEP and Alessandro Ciriani, and all our teams for delivering.
