Question for written answer  E-001833/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Markéta Gregorová (Verts/ALE)

Digital platforms are required to submit SoRs, pursuant to Article 17 of the DSA and in conjunction with Article 24 (5) of the DSA, to the DSA Transparency Database. The corresponding application programming interface (API) documentation[1] provides, inter alia, the option ‘DECISION_VISIBILITY_CONTENT_LABELLED’ for reporting visibility restrictions.

Does the Commission believe that the application of content labelling triggers the obligation to issue an SoR to the affected recipient of the service and therefore expect platforms to also report these SoRs to the DSA Transparency Database?[2]

The proposed Omnibus package lays down provisions to relieve the administrative burden on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). SMEs would become exempt from the obligation to report on a series of environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards linked to environmental sustainability.

However, this lifting of reporting and due diligence obligations would not extend to EU banking supervision and prudential requirements. In particular, the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) would, regardless of the Omnibus exemption, continue to oblige SMEs to report on a series of ESG/ESR environmental sustainability factors and standards used to assess risk profiles in banking relations. Such an assessment would be particularly complicated and costly for SMEs, would require them to go to great lengths to provide the necessary information and could lead to difficulties in accessing credit for reasons that do not necessarily have any bearing on the way the company is managed. There is no point to the proposed Omnibus package if simplifications are not extended to the banking sector too.

In view of this, given that the proposed Omnibus package lifts the obligation on SMEs to report sustainability metrics, does the Commission not think that it should provide for their exemption from ESG/ESR reporting obligations in the CRR and CRD with respect to banking supervision and prudential requirements?

In April, we inspected the Italian detention and repatriation centre in Gjadër, Albania, to verify the conditions of the migrants held there.

We witnessed and heard directly the following:

People are randomly taken by the Italian authorities, handcuffed without justification and transferred to Albania without explanation.

There is a lack of independent medical support on-site. The healthcare personnel are provided by the managing entity and cannot assess whether individuals are fit for detention. That assessment depends on a commission in Rome, which arbitrarily decides whether detainees are examined on-site or remotely.

During the sea crossing, migrants remain in restraint and, upon arrival, they are held in conditions that cause psychological distress. They are only allowed one five minute phone call per day. For the first days most had not yet had contact with a lawyer.

The ‘critical incidents’ report lists 22 episodes in just one week caused by anxiety, self-harm and suicide attempts linked to addiction to psychiatric medication.

Given that the Commission has referred to this centre as part of ‘innovative solutions’ for migration management, we ask:

• 1.whether it intends to carry out an inspection of the centre;
• 2.whether it considers that these practices violate the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU.

The massive power cut on 28 April 2025 that left the Iberian Peninsula without electricity and affected critical infrastructure has once again highlighted how fragile Spain’s electricity system is, as well as its low level of interconnection with the rest of Europe.

Although the 10 % electricity interconnection target should have been met by 2020, Spain is still stuck at around 3 % of its installed capacity, one of the lowest levels in the EU. And despite the fact that projects such as the undersea interconnection across the Bay of Biscay (due to be completed by 2028) are under way, other key infrastructure projects have been postponed until 2035, seriously compromising both the security of the system and the achievement of the 15 % target by 2030. As a result, the Iberian Peninsula is still structurally isolated.

In view of the above:

• 1.What specific steps is the Commission intending to take to ensure that the 15 % electricity interconnection targets set for 2030 are met without further delay?
• 2.Does the Commission take the view that Spain’s low interconnection rates are compromising the integration of the European energy market and the stability of electricity systems at a time when the penetration of renewables is on the increase?

The Council conclusions of December 2024 highlight that organ donation is an advancement in European healthcare, improving the health of patients with end-stage organ failure and offering a cost-effective alternative to other treatments. Initiatives such as the Action Plan on Organ Donation and Transplantation have been key to increasing donations and transplant rates and improving the quality and safety of organs for clinical use.

However, as the Council points out[1], the demand for transplantation continues to grow due to an ageing population and the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases, highlighting the need to enhance donation and transplantation practices across the Member States.

In addition, according to the European Commission report assessing the Plan[2], several Member States have flagged the need for a new plan drawing on lessons learned.

In view of the above:

• 1.When does the Commission intend to update the Action Plan on Organ Donation and Transplantation?
• 2.What specific actions does it consider to be priorities in this area?

On 28 April 2025, Spain suffered one of the worst power cuts in its recent history, during which the entire country – as well as Portugal and parts of France – was without electricity for more than 12 hours. The Spanish Government has not yet provided an explanation as to what caused the incident, nor has it assumed any political responsibility. This situation raises major concerns with regard to energy security, risk prevention and grid coordination by the network management company, Redeia, which is partly state-owned.

• 1.Has the Commission received official information from the Spanish Government on the causes of the power cut?
• 2.Does the Commission think the government’s actions have been in line with the principles of cooperation, transparency and information exchange laid down in Regulation (EU) 2019/941 on risk-preparedness in the electricity sector?
• 3.Is the Commission planning to launch an investigation – to be carried out by independent experts with proven, extensive experience who are not under the influence of companies with market interests – to establish whether management failures could have caused this crisis?
