On 12 February 2025, the European Commission published its Work Programme 2025 entlitled 'Moving forward together: A Bolder, Simpler, Faster Union'. Following on from the Political Guidelines and the Mission Letters to the Commissioners, the most important projects for this year are described in the document. These include an AI Continent Action Plan, a new Strategic EU-India Agenda, the 2025 Nuclear Illustrative Programme, and a Strategic Plan for the European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors/SMR to support the acceleration of SMRs.
To promote a sense of shared responsibility between all institutions for better implementation of the rules and strategies, each Commissioner will submit an annual progress report on enforcement and implementation to their respective Committee of the European Parliament and their respective Council formation. Furthermore, implementation dialogues between the EC and stakeholders will be held.
A Communication on Implementation and Simplification accompanies the Work Programme. It sets out how the Commission plans to make implementation of EU rules easier in practice, and to reduce administrative burdens and simplify EU rules.
