Negotiated and negotiable? Contractual governance and the flexibility of the EU’s recovery and resilience facility
This article examines the flexibility of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). It asks under what conditions modifications to the original National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) have been accepted by the European Commission and the Council. In theoretical terms, the article revisits the nature of NRRPs as tools of EU economic governance. By drawing on applications of contracting theory to multi-level governance, it argues that NRRPs…
Silenced contestation? Explaining the ‘quiet implementation’ of the European Union’s recovery and resilience facility in Spain and Italy
The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) has marked a transformative development in the European Union (EU)'s economic governance. Its ambition prompted tense negotiations at EU level. Yet implementation within member states has proceeded with remarkably little contestation. This article examines the puzzle of the RRF's 'quiet implementation' at national level. Drawing on an analytical framework that contrasts democratic legitimacy (the involve…
The governance of the recovery and resilience facility. The incremental innovation of standard conditionality regime
How can we explain the system of governance underlying the conditionality regime of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF)? Two contrasting instruments were adopted by the European Union to deal with the economic impact of the COVID‐19 crisis. The initial adaptation of the intergovernmental European stability mechanism was followed by the RRF, an instrument adopted as an add‐on to the EU budget and combining both supranational delegation and …
Unveiling Inconsistency
Do Member States behave inconsistently along the EU policy life cycle? Existing research has extensively examined patterns of conduct in the Council and in comitology. However, the question of whether national governments' behaviours differ along both stages of EU policy‐making is under‐explored. This article examines whether and under what conditions voting outcomes along the Council–comitology cycle differ. Based on a dataset combining voting r…
Comitology
This article sheds new light on deliberative dynamics at work in comitology. Starting from the findings of previous research on the frequency of consensus within the comitology committees of the EU in 2008, this article seeks to provide a measure of the intensity of opposition to the Commission’s draft implementing proposals before and after the 2011 comitology reform. Applying this approach to data from the comitology register (2008–2013), the a…
The state back in
L’objectif de cet article consiste à mettre en lumière le rôle de la comitologie en tant que pièce à la fois clé et dénaturée de la coordination nationale des affaires européennes au niveau exécutif du processus décisionnel européen. Il s’agit de montrer la place fondamentale qu’occupe ce système dans l’écheveau institutionnel européen en tant que rempart de la souveraineté des États membres mais aussi sa perte de sens dans la pratique en raison …
Spain at the helm
Since its accession to the European Community (EC) in 1986, Spain has presided over the Council of the European Union (EU) on four occasions. The first presidency took place in 1989, only three years after its entry into the EC. The second term was in 1995, after the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden to the EU. The third occurred in 2002, in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks against the United States. Last but not least, the country’s…
How consensual is comitology
This contribution revisits the question of the alleged consensual and deliberative nature of comitology proceedings on new conceptual and empirical bases. On the conceptual plane, we argue that it is important to separate the analysis of decision-making from that of outcomes: the fact that committees generally end up ratifying Commission proposals does not mean the latter are never contested. Consensus and deliberation being closely related conce…
The Reform of the Council Presidency
Les jalons de la convergence institutionnelle ? La réforme de la présidence du Conseil et ses conséquences sur les relations avec la Commission La réforme de la présidence exerce une influence sur la dialectique du pouvoir entre la présidence du Conseil et la Commission. Depuis la fin des années 1990, plusieurs innovations majeures ont été introduites dans le système de rotation afin d’améliorer la continuité des travaux du Conseil. Ces réformes …
Environmental governance in Southern Europe
Over the last two decades, the EU has shown a preference for the replacement of traditional command-and-control patterns of environmental regulation with more cooperative policy schemes in the expectation of improving compliance in member states. But has the EU performed as a ‘governance-shaper’ in member states, such as Spain, Portugal and Greece that have little tradition of non-hierarchical styles of environmental policy-making? To what extent…
Consular Affairs in the EU
In recent years there has been increasing interest in the literature regarding the changes that European integration has meant for the external administration of the member states. This article seeks to contribute to this study through analysis of an area that has received little attention until now: the Europeanization of consular affairs in the field of visa issuance. The article analyses the common visa policy and discusses its consequences fo…
Change and Stability of the EU Institutional System
The aim of this article is to demonstrate the usefulness of taking into account the variable of EU institutional development when analysing the dilemma of the Council Presidency in terms of role conception. Using a historical institutionalist perspective, the article examines the path of the EU Council Presidency since its origins and argues that five decades of institutional feedback have altered its nature. Originally conceived as an intergover…
