Highlights - Study: Schengen Border Controls: Challenges and Policy Options - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection
This compilation paper revisits the Schengen set up including recent developments triggered by both the migration crisis and terrorism, and subsequently presents and qualifies expert estimates of the potential economic
impact stemming from the introduction of ID-checks, including a case study on the very key transport sector. Estimates by The Kiel Institute for the World Economy point at a burden on EU citizens and firms of between €7 and €14 billion for the entire EU.
TML-Leuven assessed the cost for transport users of reinstating border controls in the entire Schengen area to amount between €2.5 billion and €5 billion annually (waiting times 10-20 minutes for passenger cars and 30-60 minutes for lorries). Effects, however, could prove much more costly if e.g. full-fledged border controls are permanently re-introduced.
This paper has been prepared by the Policy Department A at the request of the European Parliament's Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO).

Subject files - Working Group on the Digital Single Market - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection
The IMCO Working Group (WG) on the Digital Single Market (DSM) restarted its activities on 02.03.15 under the Chairmanship of Ms Thun. Created in 2011, the WG led to the adoption of a number of parliamentary resolutions and became a key platform for in-depth discussion where Members of the EP, the EC, stakeholders and experts exchange views, identify new opportunities and challenges, remaining barriers and propose concrete measures to overcome them in order to make the DSM in the EU a reality.
The importance of the digital economy is widely acknowledged, and the EU has adopted numerous initiatives over the past years to promote the DSM and to exploit the growth opportunities offered by the digital economy. In the past few years, important progress has been made but, however, it is clear that the DSM is far from complete: business and consumers continue facing significant barriers that prevent them from reaping the full benefits it has to offer. The WG Group will continue pursuing its aim of advancing further towards completion of the DSM, unleashing its potential and capitalise on new business opportunities that the digital economy could bring to the EU.
WG Chair: Ms R. Thun Und Hohenstein (EPP)
Honorary Members: Mrs. V. Ford (ECR), Mrs. A. M. CORAZZA BILDT (EPP), Mr. R. Rochefort (ALDE), Mrs. C. STIHLER, (S&D), S. COFFERATI (S&D).
Future meetings: 20 June PM, 12 October AM and 29 November PM.

Subject files - Control of the acquisition and possession of weapons (Revision of Firearms Directive) - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection
On 18.11.2015, the EC adopted a legislative proposal for amending the 91/477 Directive on Firearms, together with the overdue evaluation report and Implementing Regulation on deactivation. Among others, the EC proposal contains stricter rules to ban certain semi-automatic firearms and for the online acquisition of firearms; includes museums and collectors in the scope of the Directive; amends the authorisation conditions for acquiring and possessing a firearm (e.g. provision of a medical test).
It also proposes common rules on marking of firearms for traceability purposes and strengthens the exchange of information between MS.
The proposal lacks an Impact Assessment. As mentioned in an implementation appraisal published by EPRS, "the revision of the Directive was initially included in the Commission Work Programme 2016 (Annex I, item 17). Following the terrorist attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015, the publication of the Commission proposal was brought forward..." together with the Implementing Regulation on deactivation standards.
The Directive was reviewed in 2008 (IMCO Rapp.: G. Kallenbach/ Greens) and foresaw that the EC would submit an evaluation report by 28.07.2015on the situation resulting from the application of the Directive, together with any appropriate proposals.
