Use of the Internal Market Information System and the Single Digital Gateway for the purposes of certain requirements laid down by the Directive on European cross-border associations

These two texts have too little in common to compare paragraph by paragraph: they are different documents rather than versions of one (for example one group’s motion and the joint text that was adopted).

Part 2 of 3: EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Removed:EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Added:Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Removed:Introduction

Added:After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Removed:The Commission's proposal for a directive on European cross-border associations (ECBAs) introduces an additional legal form of a European cross-border association (ECBA) in national legal systems of the Member States, which is specifically designed for cross-border purposes and will reduce legal and administrative burden when it comes to the recognition and establishment of non-profit associations engaging in activities in another Member State. Once established in one Member State, an ECBA will be recognised automatically and will be able to engage in activities in all Member States, including economic activities, thereby allowing non-profit associations to unleash their full societal and economic potential in the EU.

Added:Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee,

Removed:With the proposed directive, the Commission also proposed an accompanying Regulation of technical nature amending the Internal Market Information (IMI) system and the Single Digital Gateway (SDG) Regulations, to allow cooperation and exchange of information among competent authorities through the IMI system and to conduct digital operations through the SDG allowing access to information about ECBAs available online.

Added:Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Removed:Draft report

Added:Whereas:

Removed:The Rapporteur welcomes the Commission proposal to amend the IMI system and SDG for the purpose of establishing and operating ECBAs. The draft report contains only technical changes to enhance the clarity of the text, without modifying the substance. Amongst others, the draft report clarifies that also the exchanges of information between the competent authorities should be established in the IMI system. The opinion of the European Data Protection Supervisor, which was published on 31 October 2023, should be highlighted in a recital.

Added:(1) Directive (EU) of the European Parliament and of the Council on European cross-border associations (COM(2023)516) lays down measures coordinating the conditions for establishing and operating “European cross-border associations” (ECBAs), with the aim of facilitating the effective exercise of freedom of movement of non-profit associations operating in the internal market.
