Committee on Employment and Social Affairs · Rapporteur: Estelle Ceulemans
AI:In short
The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs proposes amendments to the proposed regulation establishing a budget expenditure tracking and performance framework. It wants social objectives, gender equality, disability rights, working conditions and the partnership principle written into the framework, and reporting kept proportionate. The amendments add new articles on fundamental rights, the partnership principle and the rights of persons with disabilities, and require a social and employment guidance and a disability guidance from the Commission. They set a climate and environment spending target of at least 35% of the budget over the 2028-2034 multiannual financial framework, excluding defence and security spending, and require monitoring of social and employment spending. They require the Single Gateway to be accessible for persons with disabilities, add a mid-term review by 1 July 2031, and shorten personal data storage to five years.
Position. The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs proposes amendments to the lead committees to strengthen social objectives, gender equality, disability rights, working conditions and the partnership principle in the proposed regulation, and to keep reporting proportionate.

|---|---|
| (1) This Regulation aims to lay down the elements for both an expenditure tracking and a performance framework applicable to the implementation of expenditure appropriate to each method of implementation and complementing the rules of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council3 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (the ‘budget’) as part of the financial rules within the meaning of Article 322(1), point (a), of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). In particular, rules should be established on monitoring of budget spending, on monitoring and reporting on the performance of Union programmes and activities, as well as rules on evaluation of the programmes and activities. This Regulation also aims to set out common rules to ensure a uniform application of the ‘do no significant harm’ and gender equality principles; as well as other common rules applicable across the budget such as those for establishing a Single Gateway, and rules on information, communication and visibility. The Commission may put in place additional elements for monitoring and reporting, including relevant indicators, for the purpose of measuring the impact of Union policies and actions more widely. | (1) This Regulation aims to lay down the elements for both an expenditure tracking and a performance framework applicable to the implementation of expenditure appropriate to each method of implementation and complementing the rules of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council3 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (the ‘budget’) as part of the financial rules within the meaning of Article 322(1), point (a), of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

Recital 3 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3a) The budget performance and tracking framework should ensure efficient and effective use of EU funds, and reflect how it contributes to reaching the objectives of a Social Union, to economic growth and job creation. It is essential that reporting obligations linked to Union funds remain proportionate, avoid duplication of existing national requirements and do not create unnecessary administrative burdens for all beneficiaries. |
Amendment 4
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3 b (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3b) The assessment of the Union budget’s performance should focus on the tangible results and impacts achieved for people and territories, rather than being limited to the fulfilment of procedural milestones or reform-related commitments. |
Amendment 5
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (4) In its communication on a Competitiveness Compass for the EU4 , the Commission sets targets aiming at achieving simplification, including reducing administrative burden by at least 25% for all companies and at least 35 % for small- and medium-sized enterprises. A uniform expenditure tracking and performance framework across Union programmes should be established to contribute to such simplification efforts by reducing the administrative costs associated with its implementation, for the Commission, Member States, third countries, implementing partners and beneficiaries. In order to deliver on the simplification objective, in particular, reporting obligations for recipients should remain proportionate across all methods of budget implementation. The simplification should be reflected in all relevant documents, such as work programmes and agreements. Moreover, the reporting by the Commission on the performance of the budget should be streamlined and made easier. | (4) In its communication on a Competitiveness Compass for the EU 4 , the Commission sets targets aiming at achieving simplification, including reducing administrative burden by at least 25% for all companies and at least 35 % for small- and medium-sized enterprises. A clear, uniform and improved expenditure tracking and performance framework across Union programmes should be established to contribute to such simplification efforts by reducing the administrative costs associated with its implementation, for the Commission, Member States, third countries, implementing partners and, above all, beneficiaries, while delivering correct information on the spending of public resources, including on its results and outputs. In order to deliver on the simplification objective, in particular, reporting obligations for recipients should remain proportionate across all methods of budget implementation while allowing for the evaluation of the budget’s performance in terms of funding EU priorities. The simplification should be reflected in all relevant documents, such as work programmes and agreements. Moreover, the reporting by the Commission on the performance of the budget should be streamlined and made easier. |

Amendment 6
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (4a) Social challenges and needs differ significantly across regions and local communities. Therefore, effective Union expenditure requires place-based approaches that take into account regional and local specificities, including urban, rural, outermost and depopulated areas. Community-led and locally driven initiatives contribute to a more effective and inclusive implementation of Union policies. |
Amendment 7
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (6) As the economic, financial and societal costs linked to climate change and environmental degradation are growing, it is crucial to invest in decarbonisation, climate resilience, circular economy, water resilience and the natural environment. It is in particular essential to enhance the Union’s and Member States’ capability to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to crises, disasters and impacts of climate change and extreme weather events, and to protect the investments under the EU budget. Deploying new innovative technologies and solutions boosting climate resilience will at the same time increase the competitive edge of the EU companies not only through their improved adaptive capacity and climate resilience but also due to new export opportunities. | (6) As the economic, financial and societal costs linked to climate change and environmental degradation are growing, it is crucial to invest in decarbonisation, climate resilience, circular economy, water resilience, the natural environment and a socially just transition for workers and regions, grounded in high environmental and labour standards. It is in particular essential to enhance the Union’s and Member States’ capability to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to crises, disasters and impacts of climate change and extreme weather events, and to protect the investments under the EU budget. In this context, climate action must also contribute to the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights. Deploying new innovative technologies and solutions boosting climate resilience will at the same time increase the competitive edge of the EU companies not only through their improved adaptive capacity and climate resilience but also due to qualified and motivated workforce, quality jobs and new export opportunities. Union programmes and activities should support workers affected by economic transitions and restructuring processes, including through income support, reskilling, upskilling and access to quality employment, with particular attention to vulnerable groups and regions. |
Amendment 8
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7) On 17 November 2017, the European Pillar of Social Rights was jointly proclaimed by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission as a response to social challenges in Europe and to ensure no one is left behind. A system should be put in place to ensure a systematic and transparent monitoring of the contribution from the budget towards those social objectives within the Union. It is important in particular to promote social rights and fair working and labour conditions, in line with the European Pillar of Social Rights and in accordance with Article 9 TFEU and Article 33(2), point (e), of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509, which lays down the requirement for programmes and activities to be implemented, where feasible and appropriate, respecting working and employment conditions under applicable national law, Union law, International Labour Organization conventions and collective agreements. | (7) On 17 November 2017, the European Pillar of Social Rights was jointly proclaimed by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission as a response to social challenges in Europe and to ensure upward convergence of working and living conditions and that no one is left behind. A system should be put in place to ensure that resource allocation is rooted in an efficient need-based criterion and is designed coherently with the Porto EU’s 2030 social targets and the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan priorities. The framework for tracking expenditure and performance should therefore allow for a clear and transparent assessment of the real social impact of Union spending, beyond the mere monitoring of financial execution or quantitative outputs. It is important in particular to promote social rights, including a high level of education and training and protection of health, fair working and labour conditions, the fight against poverty, social inclusion, including of persons with disabilities and housing assistance for the homeless, in line with the European Pillar of Social Rights and in accordance with Article 9 TFEU and Article 33(2), point (e), of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509. It is also crucial to sustaining, creating and converting jobs into quality jobs. |
Amendment 9
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7a) Recalling the joint commitment of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission recognising the relevance of international human and labour rights and standards, to pursuing compliance with minimum safeguards as a condition for economic activities to qualify as sustainable. For that reason, economic activities proposed and evaluated, as well as spent under the MFF, including by entities in receipt of EU funds should be carried out in alignment with applicable national law, collective agreements, Union Law and International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, as well as, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular the prohibition of slavery and forced labour and the principle of non-discrimination. |
Amendment 10
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7 b (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7b) Despite the fact that rural areas are home to a significant share of the Union's population, they face persistent disparities in access to essential services - including water management, distribution and sanitation, affordable housing, healthcare, digital connectivity and public transport – which continue to drive demographic decline and undermine the capacity of citizens to remain in the communities of their choice. In order to give operational effect to principle of the right to stay, the performance framework established by this Regulation should show how the EU budget expenditure for essential services have contributed meaningfully to improve the quality of life in rural areas, as well as outermost regions. To that end, performance indicators under those intervention fields should require Member States to report on the geographic distribution of supported operations and their beneficiaries. Member States should furthermore demonstrate, for each relevant intervention, the identified territorial need, its contribution to horizontal principles including climate, environment and gender equality, and the specific budget allocated thereto. |
Amendment 11
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7 c (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7c) The European Social Fund is the Union’s main instrument for supporting the employment guidelines and achieving Union objectives in employment and social policies, providing support for employment, social inclusion and skills development, complemented by minimum thematic concentrations, in order to strengthen the effectiveness and monitoring of social expenditure across the Union. Several programmes and activities contribute directly to the common priorities of the Union in this area, as set out in Annex [IV a (new)]. For the purposes of tracking and monitoring budget expenditure, indicators should distinguish between social investment under the ESF, primarily contributing to social objectives in line with the European Pillar of Social Rights, and other investments with a social angle that are not covered by the objectives of the ESF, and which should equally contribute to these objectives (). The expenditure tracking and performance framework established herein should not replace or dilute the objectives, thematic concentration or indicator systems laid down in the ESF Regulation. |
Amendment 12
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7 d (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7d) The streamlined application of respect for working and employment conditions referred to in Article 33(2), point (e), of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509, should be based on a single guidance, the “social and employment guidance”. That guidance should have regard to the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness and should support the implementation of the Union support to quality employment, skills and social inclusion for the period from 2028 to 2034] in line with the Union’s policy priority. That guidance should also contribute to the implementation of the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights through thematic enabling conditions, in particular related to labour market policies and skills development, poverty reduction, especially child poverty, the inclusion of vulnerable groups, such as Roma and persons with disabilities, and the shift from institutional to family- and community-based care. |

| (8) In line with Article 8 TFEU, the Union shall in all its activities aim to eliminate inequalities, and to promote equality, between men and women. Article 33(2), point (e), of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 therefore lays down the requirement for the implementation of programmes and activities to take into account the principle of gender equality in accordance with an appropriate gender mainstreaming methodology, where feasible and appropriate. This Regulation should therefore establish a single set of rules to implement the principle of gender equality consistently. In particular, this Regulation should set out the gender mainstreaming methodology, building on the methodology developed by the Commission under the 2021-2027 MFF and used for the first time for the financial year 2021, to measure expenditure contributing to gender equality through a system of scores based on the objectives pursued by activities supported under Union programmes. Further guidance should be provided by the Commission to ensure the consistent application of that principle. This Regulation should also specify which data collected in relation to performance indicators should be broken down, where feasible and appropriate, by gender. | (8) In line with Article 8 TFEU, the Union shall in all its activities aim to eliminate inequalities, and to promote equality, between men and women.

Further guidance should be provided by the Commission and the European Institute for Gender Equality, based on lessons learnt from previous cycles, to ensure the consistent application of that principle and to overcome the gaps encountered so far. The indicators which have a social coefficient should be disaggregated by gender. |

| (10) The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union prohibits discrimination on the grounds of disability and guarantees the right of persons with disabilities to independence, social and occupational integration, and participation in community life. Moreover, the Union is party to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which requires that the protection and promotion of the human rights of persons with disabilities is taken into account in all policies and programmes. The budget should therefore ensure the effective promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities and their equal opportunities as well as aim to remove any inequalities, where feasible and appropriate. In particular, programmes and activities should aim to ensure accessibility for persons with disabilities in all infrastructures, products and services, including in the built environment, in transport and in information and communication also concerning information and communication technologies. They should also aim to support independent living and promote the transition from residential or institutional care to family and community-based services and support. | (10) The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union prohibits discrimination on the grounds of disability and guarantees the right of persons with disabilities to independence, social and occupational integration, and participation in community life. Moreover, the Union is party to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which requires that the protection and promotion of the human rights of persons with disabilities is taken into account in all policies and programmes to take all appropriate measures in order to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability. The budget should therefore ensure, track and monitor the effective promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities, removing any inequalities and forms of discrimination, where feasible and appropriate. Accordingly, all programmes and activities should support access to affordable and accessible housing in the community, aim to ensure accessibility for persons with disabilities in all infrastructures, products and services, including in the built environment, in transport and in information and communication also concerning information and communication technologies, in accordance with EU harmonised accessibility requirements. They should also aim to guarantee independent living and accelerate the transition from residential or institutional care to family and community-based services and support In this regard, particular attention should be paid to facilitating access to employment, vocational education and training, and skills development, with a view to enhancing the economic independence of persons with disabilities, reducing structural barriers to their participation in the labour market and the disability employment gap by funding supported non-segregated employment, including through personal budget schemes and Centres for Independent Living, projects to increase the beneficiaries of supported decision-making and provide funding for persons with disabilities affected by crisis situations within and outside the EU. |

| (11) In line with the Union’s strategic ambition to achieve digital sovereignty and to strengthen its economic and social resilience, the performance framework should foster progress towards the digital targets and digital transformation, including the development and deployment of sustainable and resilient digital infrastructure, high-speed connectivity, widespread uptake of advanced digital technologies, such as AI, by businesses and public administration, and strengthen digital skills across Europe. Accordingly, the design and implementation of programmes should take into account their contribution to the achievement of the digital transformation and the uptake of advanced digital technologies while respecting national specificities and competences. This Regulation facilitates tracking of digital spending in line with the objectives of the Digital Decade6 through the integration of the key intervention fields relevant for digital into the single policy area ‘digital technologies and infrastructures’. That policy area would cover the large majority of spending relevant for the Digital Decade, thus enabling the monitoring of the majority of spending towards that important priority. | (11) In line with the Union’s strategic ambition to achieve digital sovereignty and to strengthen its economic and social resilience, the performance framework should foster progress towards the digital targets and digital transformation, including the development and deployment of inclusive, accessible, sustainable and resilient digital infrastructure, high-speed connectivity, widespread uptake of advanced digital technologies, such as AI, by businesses and public administration, and strengthen digital skills across Europe, while supporting workers in labour transitions and mitigating the digital divide. Accordingly, the design and implementation of programmes should take into account their contribution to the achievement of the digital transformation and the uptake of advanced digital technologies while respecting national specificities and competences, and should support the workers in adapting to structural changes, including through upskilling and reskilling measures also in digital literacy training and education.

| (13) To ensure consistency, transparency, and accountability across Union programmes, allowing for a comprehensive and comparable assessment of the performance and effects of the programmes, a uniform system should be established to track budget expenditure, as well as to monitor, report and evaluate the implementation of the budget and to contribute to measuring its overall performance. Building on existing approaches, in particular the approach for measuring contributions towards overarching policy priorities by using EU coefficients, that system should be based on common elements, namely a list of predefined categories used to classify activities supported by the budget (‘intervention fields’), EU coefficients assigned to such intervention fields to determine their contribution to policies, and performance indicators, consisting of both output and result indicators, to monitor the effects of Union action on the ground. The system should take into account the specificities of different programmes, such as its size, duration and location of implementation. It should not be understood as determining the eligibility of an intervention under the budget, which is based solely on the sector-specific rules. In the same vein, the system does not establish or prejudge what will or will not be financed from the budget. That system should be without prejudice to other monitoring and reporting rules that may be established to measure the impact of Union policies and actions more widely. | (13) To ensure consistency, transparency, and accountability across Union programmes, allowing for a comprehensive and comparable assessment of the performance and effects of the programmes, a uniform system should be established to identify and track budget expenditure, as well as to monitor, report and evaluate the implementation of the budget and to contribute to measuring its annual and overall performance consistently with the overall priority goals of the Union.
