🌊 Milieu contributes to study on resilience and local economic development in EU coastal communities

We are pleased to share that the Study on Resilience and Local Economic Development in EU Coastal Communities, carried out for European Commission's DG MARE and CINEA, has now been published.

EU coastal communities are home to more than 90 million residents and generate nearly 38% of EU GDP. At the same time, they face increasing pressures from climate change, demographic shifts and economic vulnerabilities. Understanding how these communities can strengthen resilience and sustain local development is more urgent than ever, particularly in the context of the European Ocean Pact.
The study provides a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment of the socio-economic and environmental situation of coastal communities across 22 Member States. It examines who these communities are, the challenges they face, and the role of EU funding in supporting their resilience.

Its recommendations aim to strengthen data systems, improve access to funding, foster blue economy innovation and enhance governance for coastal communities.
Milieu is proud to have contributed to this work alongside our partners Ecorys, Stratégies Mer et Littoral and BlueFarm. We hope the findings will help shape stronger, more targeted EU support for coastal communities under the European Ocean Pact and beyond.

🔎🤝 Milieu is looking to speak with posted non-EU workers for an ongoing research project on access to support and remedies

We are inviting posted non-EU workers, and organisations supporting them, to take part in short, confidential interviews. If you have been posted to an EU Member State from a non-EU country, we would like to hear about your experience.
We are particularly interested in speaking with workers who, while posted abroad, have faced:
🔹Problems with salary, working time, contracts, social security, accommodation, or other working conditions
🔹Difficulties contacting their employer about these issues
🔹Challenges in getting help or making a complaint to authorities, trade unions or other organisations

Interviews are short and focus on the worker's experience in resolving these issues and accessing remedies.
They will be conducted in the format and language most comfortable for the participant, preferably in person where feasible, with interpretation available if needed. All interviews are treated confidentially and participants will remain anonymous.

The findings will support a better understanding of the practical barriers faced by posted non-EU workers and contribute to evidence-based policy on labour mobility and access to justice in the EU. If you are a posted non-EU worker, or if your organisation works with posted non-EU workers and can facilitate contact with them, please get in touch with the Milieu research team at [email protected]

📢 Milieu Consulting is pleased to announce that it has been awarded two new projects under its Framework Contract with European Commission - DG FISMA.

💻 The projects will support the European Commission in monitoring Member States’ transposition of Directive (EU) 2023/2864 on the establishment and functioning of the European Single Access Point (ESAP).
Established by Regulation (EU) 2023/2859, ESAP will create a single EU-wide digital portal, operated by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), providing public access to regulated information published under EU financial services and corporate transparency legislation.

📄 The ESAP Directive amends 16 EU directives, including the Audit Directive, the Accounting Directive, MiFID II and the Investment Firms Directive. It introduces requirements for information already made public under these directives to also be submitted to national collection bodies, so that it can be made accessible through ESAP.

⚖️ As part of these projects, Milieu will prepare:
• 27 completeness reports assessing national measures transposing the ESAP Directive; and
• 27 compliance reports assessing the completeness and conformity of national measures transposing Article 3 of the ESAP Directive, which amends the Transparency Directive.

We look forward to supporting the Commission in this important work to strengthen transparency, accessibility and digital access to financial and corporate information across the EU.

♻️ We are pleased to announce that the European Commission has published the study “Transposition of the General Product Safety Regulation: Product Safety in the Circular Economy”.

🔄 Consumer protection and a well-functioning circular economy: as circular business models (including reuse, repair, refurbishment and recycling) continue to grow across Europe, ensuring that products remain safe throughout their lifecycle is essential for both consumer protection and a well-functioning circular economy. Milieu Consulting has provided its legal analysis expertise by assessing the relevant legal framework at EU level and across 10 Member States: Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Sweden and Slovakia.
🤝 We also co-facilitated a stakeholder workshop and co-drafted the final report under the lead of , together with Germany.

The study highlights the importance of adapting product safety frameworks to evolving circular economy practices, helping ensure that sustainability and consumer safety go hand in hand.

📘 The study is available on the European Commission’s Safety Gate portal under “Studies and other reports”:https://ec.europa.eu/safety-gate/ #/screen/pages/StudiesAndOtherReports

🌱🏙️ Milieu to develop study for the European Committee of the Regions on the clean transition–competitiveness nexus

Recent EU initiatives, including the European Green Deal, the Clean Industrial Deal and the Competitiveness Compass, increasingly connect environmental ambition with economic competitiveness and citizens’ wellbeing.
Local and Regional Authorities (LRAs) are central to this transition. They promote local energy sources that strengthen EU energy independence, deliver adaptation solutions that reduce the costs of climate impacts, and support circular economy initiatives that drive green innovation and create new clean business opportunities.

Milieu will prepare a study for the European Committee of the Regions on Cities and regions driving the EU clean and competitive transition.
The project will include consultation with selected local and regional authority representatives through a survey and interviews, as well as the development of case studies showcasing the role of sub-national authorities in advancing a clean and competitive transition.

⚖️📘 Milieu finalises the study on the transposition of the EU Cross-Border Mobility Directive for the European Commission (DG JUST)

Milieu is proud to announce the completion of a study assessing the transposition of Directive (EU) 2019/2121 on cross-border corporate operations (conversions, mergers and divisions) for the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers (DG JUST).
This Directive amends Directive (EU) 2017/1132 on company law by introducing new rules that enable companies to restructure and move across borders in line with their freedom of establishment. It also provides safeguards against fraud and abuse, protects the interests of shareholders, creditors and other stakeholders, and ensures that employees’ rights to information, consultation and, where applicable, participation are upheld during cross-border operations.
In addition, the Directive strengthens the role of the Business Register Interconnection System (BRIS) by expanding digital exchanges of information between national business registers, facilitating smoother cross-border operations.

With the support of its network of national experts, Milieu assessed the full and correct transposition of the Directive across all EU Member States. The findings will support the European Commission in identifying potential gaps and, where necessary, pursuing infringement proceedings.
