When and How to Unwind COVID-Support Measures to the Banking System?
From the Abstract: "This paper examines regulatory measures and supervisory practices that have supported public guarantee schemes and moratoria in euro-area countries. The focus is on flexibility shown with regard to default classifications, accounting practices and the treatment of non-performing loans. The paper identifies a number of undesirable effects and examines how soon such policies can be normalised. This document was provided by the Economic Governance Support Unit at the request of the ECON Committee [European Parliament Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs]."

Impact of the Pandemic on Elections Around the World: from Safety Concerns to Political Crises
From the Summary: "The coronavirus has taken a heavy toll on electoral processes around the world, with many elections being postponed because of emergency situations. Ideally, postponing elections should involve a sensible balancing act between the democratic imperative, enshrined in international law and national constitutions, to hold regular elections, and public health requirements restricting large gatherings and minimising close contact between people. While some countries have decided to go ahead with elections, most countries with elections scheduled since the beginning of March have postponed them. Among those that have held elections during the pandemic, South Korea has emerged as a model for having organised a highly successful electoral process, while protecting the health of its population. Others, such as Burundi, have set a negative standard, ignoring health risks putting both population and politicians in peril."

COVID-19 and Its Economic Impact on Women and Women's Poverty
From the Abstract: "This in-depth, case-analytical overview, commissioned by the European Parliament's Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the FEMM [Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality] Committee, examines the impact of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] crisis on a representative sample of member states with the aim of alimenting policy recommendations for the recovery period to ensure that the gains of the past years in the matter of gender equality are not overridden by the short-term negative effects of the measures implemented to combat the COVID-19 sanitary crisis."

In the Name of COVID-19: An Assessment of the Schengen Internal Border Controls and Travel Restrictions in the EU
From the Abstract: "This study, commissioned by the European Parliament's Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee [Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs], assesses the mobility restrictive measures adopted by the EU and its Member States in the fight against COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]. It examines the reintroduction of Schengen internal border controls and intra- and extra-EU travel restrictions. It assesses their compatibility with the Schengen Borders Code, including proportionality, non-discrimination, privacy and free movement. The research demonstrates that policy priorities have moved from a logic of containment to one characterized by a policing approach on intra-EU mobility giving priority to the use of police identity/health checks, interoperable databases and the electronic surveillance of every traveller. It concludes that Schengen is not in 'crisis'. Instead there has been an 'EU enforcement and evaluation gap' of Member States compliance with EU rules in areas falling under EU competence."

Countering the Health 'Infodemic'
From the Document: "The dissemination of mis- and disinformation in traditional media and on social media has surged in recent years, with wide-ranging consequences in various policy areas - from elections to geopolitics to healthcare. The prevalence of false information regarding health issues threatens to undermine trust in official health advice and institutions responsible for countering threats to public health, potentially posing a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of individuals, a threat exacerbated in the current COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic."

Evolving Consequences of the Coronavirus 'Infodemic': How Viral False Coronavirus-Related Information Affects People and Societies Across the World
From the Document: "As the coronavirus outbreak continues to increase in severity, the volume of information regarding the virus has been growing. In February 2020, as the disease began to take hold across the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that it had been accompanied by an 'infodemic' - 'an over-abundance of information - some accurate and some not - that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it'. At the same time, people are worried about their own health, the wellbeing of relatives and the (financial, economic and societal) repercussions of the pandemic. Changing knowledge about the virus has also resulted in sometimes confusing guidelines. Moreover, there has been uncertainty about the appropriateness of government action as well as questions about the role of the WHO itself. All this has led to confusion over what is truth and what is fiction and, as many people are especially emotionally vulnerable during the pandemic, has also made many more susceptible to online false information, including false rumours and conspiracy theories spread unknowingly by people who mean well; online or phone scams that exploit people's emotional vulnerabilities, hoaxes claiming to offer a cure to the virus, as well as disinformation spread by malign actors."

US-Russia Relations: Geopolitical, Security, Economic and Human Dimensions
From the Summary: "After a period of détente, tensions are rising between the two former Cold War enemies again. Fundamental differences were already apparent during the Yeltsin years and have increasingly strained relations since 2000, under Vladimir Putin. There are few issues that Washington and Moscow agree on, but none is more divisive than Ukraine. Russia is determined to prevent further NATO expansion into post-Soviet eastern Europe, which it still sees as a buffer zone vital to its security and as a sphere of influence. Since late 2021, there are signs that Russia is planning renewed aggression against Kyiv; the US has promised a robust response if that happens. Both sides are likely to avoid direct conflict at all costs. Russia is not the military superpower that the Soviet Union was, but it is still a formidable adversary. Most of the bilateral arms control agreements that helped to maintain the fragile military balance have now gone, but talks launched at the first Biden-Putin summit in June 2021 aim at maintaining strategic stability."
