Open Government for the EU Recovery Agenda: How? // Governo aperto per l'agenda di ripresa dell'UE: come?
Accountability and transparency on how money is spent–and on whom–will be critical to ensure the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) at the core of this investment delivers in making European economies and societies more sustainable, resilient, and better prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the green and digital transitions.

Oddly enough, the European Commission did not commit member states to rigorous reporting and public oversight requirements on these loans and grants, which will total over €672bn, despite a terrible track record of corruption and misspending in EU funds.

The Open Spending EU Coalition’s, recent White Paper on RRF Transparency offered a recipe for improving spending transparency across the EU. 

During this interactive panel, we will hear from the EU governments and civil society about their approach to the openness of the EU funds and offer the desired model for transparency of RRF spending. We will spend most of the time in group discussion - you will have lots of space to contribute.

Responsabilità e trasparenza su come vengono spesi i soldi e su chi sarà fondamentale per garantire che il Piano di ripresa e resilienza (RRF) al centro di questo investimento contribuisca a rendere le economie e le società europee più sostenibili, resilienti e meglio preparate per le sfide e le opportunità delle transizioni verde e digitale.

Stranamente, la Commissione europea non ha vincolato gli Stati membri a obblighi di rendicontazione rigorosi e di controllo pubblico su questi prestiti e sovvenzioni, che ammonteranno a oltre 672 miliardi di euro, nonostante un terribile track record di corruzione e spese errate nei fondi dell'UE.

Il recente Libro bianco sulla trasparenza della RRF della Open Spending EU Coalition ha offerto una ricetta per migliorare la trasparenza della spesa in tutta l'UE.

Durante questa sessione interattiva, ascolteremo i governi dell'UE e la società civile sul loro approccio all'apertura dei fondi dell'UE e offriremo il modello desiderato per la trasparenza della spesa RRF. La maggior parte del tempo sarà dedicata alla discussione di gruppo: avrai molto spazio per contribuire.

Embedding Participation in Climate Policy-Making: Examples from the Partnership // Includere la partecipazione nella definizione delle politiche sul clima: esempi dalla partnership
Increased public participation builds a more engaged citizenry, increases the legitimacy of decisions, and helps ensure policymakers have valuable local knowledge. Participatory processes in climate policy-making are becoming increasingly popular, as both citizens and governments react to the climate change emergency. Members of OGP are now leveraging their action plans to test and embed participatory processes in climate policy-making. This session is an opportunity for stakeholders from OGP members to share the successes and challenges of these efforts with other members of the European open government community considering similar activities.

--

Una maggiore partecipazione pubblica contribuisce a creare una cittadinanza più coinvolta, aumenta la legittimità delle decisioni e aiuta a garantire che i responsabili politici dispongano di rilevante sapere locale. I processi partecipativi nella definizione delle politiche climatiche stanno diventando sempre più popolari, affinché sia i cittadini che i governi reagiscano all'emergenza del cambiamento climatico. I membri di OGP stanno ora sfruttando i loro piani d'azione per testare e integrare processi partecipativi nel processo decisionale sul clima. Questa sessione è un'opportunità per gli attori interessati dai paesi membri OGP di condividere i successi e le sfide di questi sforzi con altri membri della comunità di governo aperto europea che stanno considerando attività simili.

What is the Future for Democratic Participation in Europe? // Quale futuro per la partecipazione democratica in Europa?
Democratic participation in Europe is faced with significant challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, at least 20% of EU member states are going through a process of autocratization according to V-DEM, while CIVICUS notes a continuing decline of civic space in the region, including in established democracies. But on the other hand, there is an unprecedented wave of democratic innovations and deliberative policy-making processes. Will this wave dissipate, or can we grasp the challenges of scale and institutionalization to renew democracy in Europe?

This session will explore the future of democratic participation in Europe. It will delve into a number of specific topics, including how we can protect democratic freedoms; how to nurture continuing democratic innovation; and how we can institutionalize citizen participation. Presenters will kick-start the discussion via a series of lightning talks, followed by small group discussions to share ideas and experiences.

La partecipazione democratica in Europa deve affrontare sfide e opportunità significative. Da un lato, almeno il 20% degli Stati membri dell'UE sta attraversando un processo di autocratizzazione secondo V-DEM, mentre CIVICUS rileva un continuo declino dello spazio civico nella regione, anche nelle democrazie consolidate. D’altra parte, si è verificata un'ondata senza precedenti di innovazioni democratiche e di processi decisionali deliberativi. Questa onda si dissiperà o possiamo cogliere le sfide per scalare o di istituzionalizzazione per rinnovare la democrazia in Europa?

Questa sessione esplorerà il futuro della partecipazione democratica in Europa. Analizzerà una serie di argomenti specifici, compreso il modo in cui possiamo proteggere le libertà democratiche; come coltivare l’innovazione democratica continua; e come possiamo istituzionalizzare la partecipazione dei cittadini. I relatori daranno il via alla discussione attraverso una serie di Lightning talks, seguiti da discussioni in piccoli gruppi per condividere idee ed esperienze.

Lobby Transparency: Why and for Whom? // Trasparenza delle lobbies: perché e per chi?
Engaging stakeholders in policy-making processes is a central aspect of open government, yet the fact of who influences policies and how can often remain unknown to the public. Instead, the public receives news of lobbying through typically scandalous cases of undue influence, which in turn can cause distrust towards policy-makers and lobbyists alike. According to Global Data Barometer, lobbying is the lowest performing indicator in the political integrity field, with only 19 of the surveyed 109 countries disclosing data on lobby meetings.

While many OGP members have worked or are working with increasing lobby transparency, progress can be slow and be hindered by political turmoil. This session serves as an opportunity to share experiences of regulating lobbying in Europe, of building coalitions and of creating political will in the name of increasing public trust and citizen engagement.

--

Il coinvolgimento dei portatori di interesse nei processi decisionali delle politiche è un aspetto centrale del governo aperto, ma il chi e il come s’influenzano le politiche spesso resta sconosciuto al pubblico. Al contrario, il pubblico riceve notizie di attività di lobbying attraverso scandali e tipicamente casi di influenza illecita, che a loro volta possono causare sfiducia nei confronti dei responsabili politici e dei lobbisti allo stesso modo. Secondo il Global Data Barometer, il lobbying è l'indicatore con le prestazioni più basse nel campo dell'integrità politica, con solo 19 sui 109 paesi intervistati che divulgano dati sulle riunioni di lobby.

Mentre molti membri di OGP hanno lavorato o stanno lavorando con una crescente trasparenza sulle attività di lobbying, il progresso può essere lento ed essere ostacolato da disordini politici. Questa sessione è un'opportunità per condividere esperienze di regolamentazione del lobbismo in Europa, per la costruzione di alleanze e creazione di volontà politica in nome dell'aumento della fiducia pubblica e del coinvolgimento dei cittadini.
