What the Commission plans for the fall

The EU Commission is postponing several legislative initiatives to the fall. The new Single Market Emergency Instrument and the European Media Freedom Act are now to be presented on September 13, as part of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the EU address. At the same time, the proposal to ban imports of products from forced labor will be presented – a plan that von der Leyen had announced a year earlier in her SOTEU speech.
