In
2015 the Council and European Parliament agreed in Regulation 2015/2120
that on 15 June 2017 roaming charges for mobile phone use would be
abolished in the EU. After that date, 'roam like at home' (RLAH) would
become a reality for all Europeans. The regulation did not, however,
address the wholesale roaming market, on account of the need to
investigate market conditions in more depth. A review for the European
Commission concluded that national wholesale roaming markets are not
working well and need regulatory intervention. It therefore proposed a
regulation establishing the maximum level of wholesale roaming charges
that telecoms operators can charge each other for calls, text messages
and data, to take effect from 15 June 2017. On 29 November, Parliament's
Industry Committee voted for a significant reduction in the data
wholesale caps proposed by the Commission. During the third trilogue
meeting on 31 January, an agreement was reached between the Parliament
and the Council that lowers significantly the wholesale data caps
originally proposed. Second edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress'
briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative
procedure. To view earlier editions of this briefing, please see: PE

The
European Social Fund (ESF) is one of the European Structural and
Investment Funds. It promotes quality employment, social inclusion,
education and training, and enhances the institutional capacity of
public authorities. All EU Member States are eligible for ESF support
through corresponding operational programmes. The Youth Employment
Initiative (YEI) complements the ESF actions addressing youth
unemployment. The ESF was created in 1957 and has a long history of
actions and achievements. It has also not avoided criticism. In the
current MFF the implementation of the Fund has been rather slow, but it
is expected to reach full cruising speed in 2017.

The
workshop, organized by the Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and
Constitutional Affairs upon request by the AFCO Committee, provides
insight in the issue of apportionment of seats in the European
Parliament, one of the most politically sensitive decisions with direct
impact on citizens' representation in the European Parliament. The
workshop examined methods for the apportionment of seats in Parliament
that would satisfy the requirements of the principle of degressive
proportionality and that would be able to automatically adjust to the
changing demographic picture in the Union as well as be able to
accommodate changes in the number of EU Member States.
