Coorganised working conference with the Bertelsmann Stiftung on the follow up of the Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE) and its recommendations on a permanent European Citizens' Assembly, is scheduled for 27 June 2022. Check the event page for more details.  

This conference, organised by the OECD and hosted by the European Commission, will discuss solutions and ways forward on improving the quality of regulations, with a particular focus on improving the efficiency of legislation and its capacity to address complex problems and be fit for tackling future challenges. The Better Regulation Practices across the European Union 2022 report is a starting point to address some of the current global challenges. The report provides an in-depth assessment of the application of the proportionality principle and information on how EU Member States conduct regulatory impact assessment in practice. These topics will be further explored during the conference, along with discussions on the use of regulatory management tools when negotiating and transposing EU laws, and how the use of better regulation can simplify the regulatory environment for businesses. 

The Members of the European Committee of the Regions will hold a meeting for the 150th Plenary Session on 29-30 June 2022. 

This year's Enlargement Day faces a changed political reality with a major war and huge geopolitical shifts in Europe. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the ensuing EU membership applications of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova have changed the landscape of the enlargement policy. For the first time, delegates from those countries will attend the event. 

​The 13th ENVE commission meeting will take place fully in person on Friday, 15 July 2022 from 11:15 to 18.00 at the European Committee of the Regions, Rue Belliard 99-101, Brussels room JDE 52.
