Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciBorder checks, not free movement, are the new normal in border-free Europe. Today we filed a formal COMPLAINT against the European Commission for failing to protect our right to free movement. And it's not just Italy and Spain. The map below shows how "temporary" internal border controls have become semi-permanent across much of Schengen. More than 100 academics signed, joined by former Commissioners Josep Borrell, Nicolas Schmit, László Andor and Joaquin Almunia and former MEP Sophie in 't Veld and Rui Tavares. A few more are still considering joining our call. Why now? Today, October 1, Italy renewed its border controls on travellers from Spain, for the fourth time since August 8. Neither government has shown the serious threat to public policy or internal security that EU law requires; instead, they pursue an unprecedented tit-for-tat dispute. Who pays? Workers, students, families and patients, caught in a dispute between two governments over the fallout from Ceuta. Meanwhile, Magnus Brunner, Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, whose job is to secure free movement, remains silent. This failure reflects a broader institutional trend. The Commission may enjoy wide discretion in deciding whether, when and how to enforce EU law. But wide discretion is not unbounded discretion, and it cannot become permission to decide which European rules still matter. Its enforcement choices must themselves comply with the rule of law. Europe's legal order won't collapse all at once. It will erode one illegality and one internal border at a time, each of them tolerated. If you agree, share and COMMENT below!

Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciEU law is being put to use in new ways: by more people, in more places, and for different purposes. A few shifts help explain why: ▪️ The Commission enforces EU law far less than it once did (Tommaso Pavone Daniel Kelemen), and a wider base of claimants is stepping in amid growing European attachment ( James Dennison) ▪️ The grounds for claiming are broadening, after the Court treated Article 2 TEU as self-standing, and applicable to both Member States and the EU institutions ▪️ Standing rules appear to be loosening, with third-party interventions becoming more salient and amicus curiae being practised, despite lacking formal recognition ▪️ Complaints outside the courtroom are multiplying, from successful European Citizens' Initiatives lacking follow-ups to an exponential increase of Ombudsman's complaints, from Aarhus reviews to GDPR, DSA and AI Act mechanisms, and AI tools are making them easier to draft. Judges' associations, cities, gig workers, NGOs, hard-right politicians, animal welfare activists, citizens, scholars and political movements of every orientation are combining these routes. Does claiming EU law always bring Europe closer together? Or can it also redirect, challenge, fragment or even resist integration? Join us at HEC Paris Paris on 4 December to discuss these and many more questions with a community of junior scholars, established academics and practitioners. 🎤 Keynote: Advocate General Tamara Capeta (CJEU). 📅 Abstracts (500 words) by 18 October. Notifications on 21 October. ✈️ Invited speakers receive a travel grant, one night's accommodation and an eve-of-workshop dinner. 🤝 Non-presenters and the wider public are welcome to attend and join the discussion. The full call will soon appear in the comments and be attached. Please share with colleagues, doctoral students and practitioners who may be interested.

Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciEurope's offer of associate membership to Canada lacks legal and political form, but dismissing it would be a mistake. It could serve EU integration more than the federalist dream by renewing our understanding of interdependence in a post-Trump world. Ultimately the 1950 Schuman Declaration was hardly more precise than von der Leyen’s offer to Carney, but it worked - as Jean-Marc Lieberherr Monnet has been reminding us over the last year across the continent.

Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciIt still feels slightly odd for an academic to be called an "influencer." But in my case it has never been about 'product placement', but about idea generation and promotion - to the benefit of the many, not the few. So I'm glad, and yet a little surprised, to have been named TOP #EUinfluencer once again on ZN's Top 50 list, alongside so many friends from the media and civil society. Glad to have been recognised for increasingly venturing into multi-channel: in addition to legacy media, from The Guardian to Le Monde, I often write for Project Syndicate, and craft content on LinkedIn, Instagram, and increasingly on Substack, where my European Question Time puts political leaders on the record about how they actually behave at EU level. I've come to see this as part of the job rather than a distraction, thanks to HEC Paris's constant support. Those of us fortunate enough to be paid to read, think and write owe something back to society. That conviction runs through PUBLIC SCHOLARSHIP, a new edited volume coming soon from Cambridge University Press, which brings together the voices of - and experiences gained by over 20 scholars - from Catherine de Vries to Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, Kalypso Nicolaidis, Johanna MairLaurent Pech, Amandine Garde, Anne Laure Sellier John Morijn Päivi Leino-Sandberg Thomas Perroud Stefan Salomon Kati Cseres Clemens Kaupa & co. - who work beyond the seminar room, through media, policymaking, and civil society. Grateful to Patrizia Isabelle Nanz, Olivier Schutter and the generous endorsement by Anne-Marie Slaughter among others! For years, this kind of engagement was treated as time taken away from serious scholarship. I no longer think that's a trade-off, and I'd like every PhD candidate hesitating over how to build their career to hear that from someone whose own path was shaped by it. Thinking of you Francesco Simon Artibani Valerija Ruta Hartmane Arthur Poinsard Haila Amin Sébastien Fassiaux! Thank you to everyone who reads, watches, reacts and pushes back (!) and congratulations to all fifty, and beyond!

Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciI see a lot of confusion about the EU–Canada relationship: 1. “Associate membership” is not a thing in EU law but 2. It can and should go beyond CETA. 3. It can hardly go beyond EEA-level integration. 4. The likely landing zone is somewhere around the EU–Switzerland model. But the significance may lie elsewhere: this modest new status could make the EU an institutional hub around which other democracies organise strategic autonomy, without joining the Union. That is more consequential than “Europe + Canada against the US” and may unleash new relations with Uk and candidate countries What do you think ? #canada

Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciThis State of the Union produced a familiar feeling of déjà vu, well-intentioned and naïve, as only we Europeans can be. It offered incremental progress where the moment demands an injection into our unprecedented yet inadequate level of political integration. On the economy, the speech too often echoed the lobbying points of industries fighting decline rather than defining which capabilities must remain in Europe, and why. Its determination to escape toxic dependencies is welcome. Yet the proposed answer stick to the traditional European incremental solutions through old-new initiatives. Most striking of all was the silence on how the Union will pay for its ambitions. There were no references to common borrowing, or to fiscal capacity commensurate with the promises. On social media and the Israeli government’s excesses, the Commission President appeared to follow public sentiment rather than articulate a settled strategy. She was nevertheless willing to chastise member states over “gold-plating” and over their failure to act against Israel’s illegal E1 settlement project. That firmness, however, vanished when it came to the integrity of the Schengen free-travel zone. She celebrated its freedoms without mentioning the systematic return of internal border checks or the Commission’s reluctance to enforce the rules against Italy and Spain. The guardian of the treaties seems increasingly reluctant to do its job. Then came the improvised offer to make Canada the EU’s first “associate member.” Finally, the proposed “Congress of Europe” recalled the Conference on the Future of Europe (another exercise in continental introspection), only this time led by the ‘best and brightest’ (back in fashion after Draghi’s Rhine Group!), with citizens and civil society invited into the supporting cast. Europe’s problem has never been a shortage of diagnoses, roadmaps or frameworks (we’re so good at it!). It is the widening gap between the clarity of its diagnoses and its willingness to project the political power needed to act on them. Read my latest on #SOTEU https://lnkd.in/eeywxjPW

Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciThe State of the Union presidential address was established to make Europe’s priorities more transparent, accountable, and increasingly salient with the European publics, yet it has not yet fulfilled that democratic promise. It should tell Europeans honestly what Europe can do, what it cannot, and where national governments are preventing it from acting. Read my latest on #SOTEU https://lnkd.in/e2bKRkPt

Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciOn the same day the industry's own CEOs called for caution - with Dario Amodei and Sam Altman warning that AI is advancing faster than our capacity to control it -, Mario Draghi first in the Financial Times, then Christine Lagarde, called for adopting AI faster, building more compute to not fall behind. Yet neither asks who gains and who loses, or whether adoption advances broad-based prosperity, not just sovereignty from Washington or Beijing. Faster adoption can’t per se be an economic nor a geopolitical strategy if its benefits are concentrated while its costs are shifted to - and borne by - workers and communities. Labour displacement and the concentration of economic and political power can’t be be an after thought only after supposedly productivity gains have been realised; they should instead be front and centre in determining which AI Europe develops, deploys and rewards. Europe unlike America had the right reflex: regulate AI first before its consequences become fully known. By now it’s clear that Europe failed. But now it should not let geopolitical anxiety rush into a blind AI uptake, without considering whether and extent to which this may contribute to shared prosperity and democratic power.

Alberto Alemanno a partagé ceciWhat if we are learning the wrong lesson from the hard right? The AfD’s breakthrough in Saxony-Anhalt is historically alarming. But the response from mainstream leaders is just as troubling: more deregulation, weaker welfare protections and a race for “competitiveness”. While too early to call, Sweden may offer another path, worth exploring for progressive forces. In Sunday’s election, the centre-left bloc led by Magdalena Andersson is narrowly ahead while the Sweden Democrats have lost ground, falling behind the Moderates. The final count is still pending, but the message is clear: the hard right’s advance is not inevitable. Europe has too often responded to the far right by moving further right itself. But the answer to economic insecurity cannot be fewer protections, weaker public services and more deregulation. By dismantling the institutions that make people feel secure, mainstream parties may strengthen the very forces they oppose, including Europe’s worst enemies, from Trump to Putin not to mention the world’s richest man. The alternative is to challenge the hard right politically, instead of mimicking it (hear hear, Chancellor Merz!) What kind of politics can make voters want something else? I explore this argument in my latest Substack: Europe Is Learning the Wrong Lesson from the Hard Right Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/esqzJbiT

Alberto Alemanno a aimé ceciAlberto Alemanno a aimé ceciYoung people aren't allergic to Europe. They're allergic to boring. Not to the politics. To the register. The press release. The explainer carousel. The panel about the panel. We built the most ambitious political project in modern history, and we give it the tone of a terms and conditions page. That's what I argued on Monday night in Brussels, when Newframes handed me a microphone and asked who Europe should be giving it to. I said people like me. People who grew up somewhere Europe was something that happened in other countries. Where I'm from, nobody cares what the Commission decided on a random Tuesday. They'll care if someone who sounds like them explains why it matters for their life. Because boring isn't a style problem. It's a question of who is talking. And it should be the easiest thing in the world to make interesting. Imagine pitching the European Union right after the war. Countries that spent centuries killing each other will share a parliament, a currency and open borders, within your lifetime. They'd have laughed you out of the room. One of the boldest things anyone has ever done, and we describe it like paperwork. I know how hard that is from inside an institution. There are a hundred good reasons to be careful with every word, and most of them are legitimate. One person can be bold in a way a directorate-general cannot. So it doesn't have to come from the institution. It can come from the people around it. Creators, artists, digital journalists. The ones who can take a forty-page policy paper and turn it into something a 24-year-old stops scrolling for. Not for one campaign. Not for one awareness week. For years. They're not channels. They're ambassadors. Erasmus didn't work because Europe explained itself better. It worked because Europe invested in people instead of messages, and kept doing it for decades. Nobody wakes up worried about Europe. They wake up worried about their rent. I had the microphone on Monday night. The argument I made with it is that I shouldn't be the exception.

Behavioral sciences help refine our understanding of human decision-making. Their insights are immensely relevant for policy-making, since public intervention works much better when it targets real people rather than imaginary beings assumed to be perfectly rational. Increasingly, governments around the world are keen to rely on those insights for reshaping public interventions in a wide range of policy areas, such as energy, health, financial services, and data protection. When policy-making meets behavioral sciences, effective and low-cost regulations can emerge in the form of default rules, smart disclosure, and simplification requirements. While behaviorally-informed intervention has a huge potential for policymaking, it also attracts legitimacy and practicability concerns. This book takes a European perspective on those issues and explores the legal implications of the emergent phenomenon of behavioral regulation by focusing on the challenges and opportunities it may offer to EU policy-making and beyond. It will be a fascinating read for academics and practitioners working in the field of European law and consumer law, as well as for policymakers.

As behavioral sciences are unearthing the complex cognitive framework in which people make decisions, policymakers seem increasingly ready to design behaviorally informed regulations to induce behavior change in the interests of the individual and society. After discussing what behavioral sciences have to offer to administrative law, this article explores the extent to which administrative law may accommodate their findings into the regulatory process. After presenting the main regulatory tools capable of operationalizing behavioral insights, it builds a case for integrating them into public policymaking. In particular, it identifies the need to develop a legal framework capable of ensuring that behavioral considerations may inform the regulatory process while at the same time guaranteeing citizens’ constitutional rights and freedoms vis-à-vis the regulatory state.

The Steering Committee for Human Rights of the Council of Europe has adopted the Handbook on #HumanRights and #ArtificialIntelligence. This resource provides guidance to government officials and policymakers in #CoE Member States when applying the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Social Charter, the Framework Convention on AI and Human Rights,#RuleofLaw and #Democracy and other human rights standards to the #AI systems' lifecycle. While the Handbook addresses cross-cutting issues relevant to all sectors, it also examines the impact of AI systems in key areas of public governance, including #nationalsecurity, #lawenforcement, administration of #justice, #immigration and #bordercontrol, democratic processes, #healthcare, #socialservices and #welfare, #education, #labour and #employment.

The EU has most global influence when taking unilateral regulatory action. Also known as the Brussels-effect, it offers an important lever for global relevance compared to bi- og multilateral cooperation, according to the latest research. The EU needs to look at all policies through a geopolitical lens at a time where globalisation is strained and international order fragmented. As it attempts to improve European competitiveness, it needs to recognise that policies benefiting the European industry is not well-received outside the EU. The Brussels-effect has a proven track record (REACH, Ecodesign ect.), but the tool could quickly vanish if the EU does not insist on keeping its influence. For example, letting third countries or their companies dictate EU policies would reduce stringent regulations (a precondition for the Brussels-effect). The Brussels-effect spurs innovation to the benefit of European companies when used correctly. EU law can improve competitiveness and lower costs for European actors by making sure they are frontrunners globally. But the phenomona also has clear limits that needs to be respected. Trying to assert the Brussels-effect where the preconditions are not in place, could have a negative effect on European stakeholders. It can arguably explain some of the policies that did not have the intended effect in the past years. If carefully nourished the Brussels-effect can be an important tool to regain global relevance. If not, the EU’s ability to exert influence internationally is likely to shrink. The EU needs to learn from the regulatory successes and use them strategically – not starting to doubt its own strengths. Copyright: European Union, 2025

Glad to see our 📢 New publication in the Journal of European Public Policy! Why do companies lobby policymakers directly when their business associations are already lobbying on the same issue? In our new article, we explore the concept of parallel lobbying: a situation where firms engage policymakers directly and collectively via their trade associations. Using data on more than 35,000 meetings between interest groups and the European Commission between 2014 and 2023, we examine when and why this occurs. Our findings suggest that parallel lobbying is less about the characteristics of firms themselves and more about the associations they belong to. Firms are particularly likely to lobby in parallel when associations they are members of: ✅have substantial lobbying resources, ✅ are well connected in Brussels, ✅ represent broad and diverse memberships. The results point to an important tension in modern governance: business associations are expected to aggregate interests, yet many firms still feel the need to communicate directly with policymakers. The article raises broader questions about representation, influence, and the evolving role of business associations in EU policymaking. 📖 Open access: https://lnkd.in/e2fBpBcR
