• 2026-02-12 “Answer given by Ms Kos on behalf of the European Commission 13.5.2026 Written question The Commission is committed to ensuring that Ukraine’s accession process is conducted with the fairness, predictability, and stability essential to all Member States. The budgetary implications on the future multiannual financial framework will depend on several factors, including the outcome of negotiations of the post-2027 MFF and the application of possible transitional measures. Enlargement is an investment in a larger market, greater growth and stronger collective resilience. The Commission is analysing all options that can be applied in order to ensure that accession produces a net positive outcome for the Union as a whole, including through appropriate transitional measures. In line with previous practice, there is a broad array of such measures to ensure that there are no negative financial spillovers to existing beneficiaries. The chapters of the EU acquis, including on agriculture and rural development, food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary policy, competition policy, or environment and climate change, form the basis of the accession negotiations and candidate countries are required to bring their national legislation into line with EU legislation in these areas by the date of accession. Carefully managed Ukraine’s integration has the potential to strengthen the Union’s food security and sovereignty.”

• 2026-02-12 “Answer given by Ms Kos on behalf of the European Commission 21.5.2026 Written question The Commission recalls that the legal basis for the accession of new Member States to the EU is Article 49 of the Treaty on the European Union (TEU). Article 49 TEU provides that any European state which respects the values set out in Article 2 TEU and is committed to promoting them may apply to become a member of the EU. Article 49 TEU also states that ‘the conditions of eligibility for accession agreed upon by the European Council shall be taken into account’. Upon the Commission’s opinion and the European Parliament’s consent, the Council adopts a decision on the country’s accession. The conditions of admission to the EU and the adjustments of the EU Treaties which such admission entails are subject of an agreement between the Member States and the applicant State. The Accession Treaty is then to be submitted for ratification by all Member States and the acceding State in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements. The negotiating frameworks, including the one for Ukraine, already stipulate that if sufficient progress is made on reform priorities agreed in the negotiations and the alignment with the relevant acquis has taken place, this should lead to gradual integration into the EU single market. Such gradual integration is possible via international agreements that provide for the necessary safeguards to ensure a level playing field for economic operators, protect the integrity of the internal market and ensure the uniform interpretation of EU law. Ukraine, as some of the other candidates, has set ambitious target dates for its accession path and the Commission is intensely working with them to support these ambitious objectives.”

• 2026-02-11 “Answer given by Mr Hoekstra on behalf of the European Commission 4.5.2026 Written question The Commission has no plans to suspend the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). The Commission is accelerating its work on the upcoming review of the ETS, notably to set out the emissions cap and a decarbonisation trajectory beyond 2030, in line with the 2040 emissions reduction target adopted by the co-legislators in 2026. This will provide more emissions space for industry compared to the legislation currently in force. The Commission has also presented a proposal to increase the firepower of the Market Stability Reserve, so that it can more effectively address excessive price volatility and keep prices in check. The functioning of the market is monitored by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) [1] and, according to their latest assessment, it is stable and operating in line with market fundamentals. The ETS for fuel combustion in buildings, road transport and additional sectors (ETS2) will complement national and EU measures to support Member States’ emission reductions as from 2028. Price and impacts have been assessed in the impact assessment [2] , in supporting publications [3] and as part of the preparation of the Social Climate Plans. Several measures will strengthen the stability and affordability of the system, responding to proposals by many Member States. In addition to the one-year postponement of ETS2, this includes proposals to ensure earlier and stronger market and price intervention [4] and to accelerate prior investments by Member States, including via an earlier start of ETS2 auctions and a EUR 3 billion European Investment Bank ETS2 Frontloading Facility [5] .

• 2026-02-11 “P-000605/2026 Answer given by Ms Kos on behalf of the European Commission The Audit Board reports to the Commission and addresses recommendations to the Ukrainian authorities. In accordance with Article 12 of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1697 1 , the Commission regularly informs the European Parliament and the Council of the Board’s activities, via the Ukraine Facility dialogue. The mandate of the Audit Board focuses on strengthening Ukraine’s audit, control and anti-fraud architecture to ensure the sound management of EU funds. The operating costs of the Audit Board were published in the relevant calls. The Secretariat is financed through a service contract covering the full duration of the mandate (until July 2028), with a total amount of EUR 8 598 000. In 2025, the Audit Board produced one report covering internal audit and control systems. The secretariat is based in Kyiv and currently comprises one Head of Secretariat, who is an official, three key experts and eleven non-key experts covering audit, internal control, procurement, anti-fraud and anti-corruption. The three Audit Board members are appointed as Special Advisers for a maximum of 90 working days per year. The Audit Board can also do on-the-spot visits to collect relevant information. In December 2025, the Audit Board Secretariat conducted such an on-the-spot visit to Kryvyi Rih to analyse audit and monitoring at regional level. This visit, approximately 60 km from the line of contact, demonstrates the capacity to perform oversight even under wartime conditions. 1 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2024/1697/oj/eng.”

• 2025-11-12 “E-004493/2025 Answer given by Ms. Šuica On behalf of the European Commission The Pact for the Mediterranean 1 , presented by the Commission and the High Representative, sets out a new ambitious strategy to strengthen EU relations with its southern Mediterranean partners, while also making Europe stronger and more resilient. The possibility for short term student exchanges from any region in the world, including the Southern Mediterranean, towards the EU is not new, it already exists under the international dimension of Erasmus+, financed out of NDICI/Global Europe, not from Erasmus+ core budget under Heading 2. For 2021-2027, NDICI – Global Europe 1 had already allocated EUR 175 million for student and staff mobility under the international dimension of Erasmus+ benefitting the Southern Mediterranean region 2 . Therefore, the Pact does not expand Erasmus+ at the expense of European students. As an instrument for brain circulation whereby students and staff from third countries return after their mobility, this funding allows around 6 000 higher education students and staff from the Southern Mediterranean to study, train or teach in the EU per year 3 . In addition, when screening grant applications for Erasmus+, the Commission is legally bound to ensuring that organisations and individuals that do not respect EU values, such as the rule of law and respect for human rights, do not receive EU financial support, in line with the 2024 recast of the Financial Regulation 4 . Moreover, when applying for visas, including for study purposes, third-country nationals go through thorough security checks. As part of the general conditions set out under Article 7 of Directive 2016/801 5 , where third-country nationals are considered to pose a threat to public security, they shall not be admitted. 1 https://international-partnerships.ec.europa.eu/document/download/1d7e2bec-d688-49a1-bcfba67ba667514d_en?filename=ad-mip-2024-c2024-7509-erasmus-annex_en.pdf. 2 https://international-partnerships.ec.europa.eu/document/download/1d7e2bec-d688-49a1-bcfba67ba667514d_en?filename=ad-mip-2024-c2024-7509-erasmus-annex_en.pdf. 3 As a point of comparison, the EU counts close to 20 million higher education students. 4 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2509/oj/eng. 5 OJ L 132, 21.5.2016, pp. 21–57 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2016/801/oj/eng).”

• 2025-09-25 “E-003731/2025 Answer given by Ms Albuquerque on behalf of the European Commission The Savings and Investments Union Strategy (SIU) 1 seeks to strengthen, deepen and integrate further EU markets. Integration does not mean that local markets disappear. On the contrary, their activity remains vital, brings diversity to the trading landscape and facilitates access. The Strategy furthermore proposes an approach where EU-level workstreams can be complemented by coordinated actions of Member States 2 . The Commission also aims to reduce fragmentation and foster cross-border activities, thereby widening investment and financing options for individuals and companies. Smaller capital markets will benefit from an integrated EU capital market through broader and deeper pools of capital, also fostering local investment. Companies will be able to tap into funding from larger pools of capital without being restricted to their domestic market. Similarly, households will be able to access cheaper and better investment opportunities across the EU. Conversely, a more integrated market can help productive investment flow into smaller capital markets. Effective supervision is vital for an integrated European financial system. The European Securities and Markets Authority’s enhanced role would provide consistent oversight thus increasing confidence in the financial system and facilitating cross border activities. However, for all other entities, the national competent authorities would remain in charge, ensuring national specificities to be taken into account. Harmonisation in selected areas (e.g. insolvency) would be evidence-based and respect subsidiarity and proportionality. It aims to achieve legal certainty and a level playing field. Progress nevertheless relies on joint EU and Member-State action. 1 COM(2025) 124 final, Savings and Investments Union – A Strategy to Foster Citizens’ Wealth and Economic Competitiveness in the EU, 19 March 2025. 2 This includes addressing recommendations to Member States on savings and investment accounts, supplementary pensions and a financial literacy strategy, as detailed in the SIU strategy (see reference 1 above). Additional information on these initiatives is available here: https://finance.ec.europa.eu/publications/eu-boost-financialliteracy-and-investment-opportunities-citizens_en.”
