PETI Public hearing ‘How could Hungary’s accession to the European Public Prosecutor's Office help to unlock EU funds for Hungary and Hungarians’ based on Petition 0679/2024

Services accounted for nearly three quarters of the EU’s gross value added and employment in 2024, showing their key economic role. However, the services sector remains the least integrated part of the Single Market due to persistent cross-border barriers that limit innovation, scaling, and business opportunities. Remarkably, 60% of these barriers are the same as 20 years ago. Reducing non-tariff barriers by just 10% could boost EU gross value added by 0.5%.

On Tuesday, 23 September 2025, from 15:45 to 17:00, the FISC Subcommittee will hold a public hearing on "Tax implications of the Trump administration’s policies". In light of recent shifts in U.S. tax policy under the Trump II administration, the hearing will assess its potential implications on EU businesses and the broader transatlantic tax landscape.
