Resources Unit

The Directorate-General for Economy, Transformation and Industry (DG ECTI) plays an essential role in supporting the work of key parliamentary committees, empowering Members of the European Parliament to excel in their legislative, scrutiny, and budgetary responsibilities. As a cornerstone of the European Parliament's administrative structure, DG ECTI facilitates the smooth operation of committee activities, promoting evidence-based decision-making through expert analysis and dedicated research services. 

Its policy remit encompasses a broad range of areas, including economic and monetary affairs, financial policy, taxation, internal market and consumer protection, cybersecurity, industry, research, energy, environment, climate, food safety, and public health. Through its support, DG ECTI enables the European Parliament to navigate an increasingly complex and evolving geopolitical and economic landscape, while fostering the development of administrative and political ties.
