The 2017 European Chronicles open with a brief summary of the major\u00a0political, economic and institutional events of the year, such as the beginning\u00a0of the Brexit procedure (the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union). The Chronicles then analyse the main developments of the\u00a0European integration process, through the conclusions adopted by the meetings of the European Council, as well through the main EU legislative acts\u00a0and actions. The Chronicles then provide a synthesis of the most important\u00a0institutional and legal news, the relationships between citizens and EU institutions, and the main evolutions that occurred in the context of the economic\u00a0and monetary union. The central part of the text presents the noteworthy\u00a0developments that took place in 2017 in the context of the regulatory functions (internal market, electronic communications, competition, State aid,\u00a0social policy, health and consumer protection, environmental protection) and\u00a0of the distributive functions (common agriculture policy, research and technology, education and culture), as well as the EU’s financial programming and\u00a0budget. The 2017 European Chronicles close with an analysis of the developments that unfolded in the area of freedom, security and justice, in the\u00a0external relations of the EU and in the field of the common foreign and\u00a0security policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
