EU-28: European Commission 2015 Work Program

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On December 16, 2014, the European Commission presented its work program for 2015. European Commission President Juncker claims that he is taking a radically different approach by presenting a work program that only includes 23 new initiatives compared to the average 130 initiatives in the past five years. Following an analysis of 452 proposals, the European Commission came up with a "kill list" in which it proposes withdrawing or amending 80 proposals including the proposed revision of the organic framework legislation.
