After meetings in France and Serbia, Xi will travel to Hungary to meet with President Viktor Orbán and talk cars, among other economic issues. China regards Hungary as one of its closest European partners. Beijing has invested heavily in electric vehicle factories. In 2022, Chinese-made electric cars accounted for just under 4 percent of the European market, compared with just 1.4 percent in 2019. The spike prompted an investigation by the European Commission to find out whether Chinese state subsidies are artificially deflating prices to the detriment of European manufacturers. It has until J...

Malta's Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne continues to be the country's first choice for commissioner in the forthcoming EU executive, diplomats have confirmed, despite being charged by prosecutors on suspicion of misappropriation and fraud according to a judicial document seen by Euronews. The charges relate to the country’s latest corruption scandal involving the privatisation of three state hospitals in deal between the Maltese government and Vitals Global Healthcare, dating to the time when Fearne was health minister in the island republic, a post he held until January this year. In a Fac...

In March, highly sensitive military information was leaked on Russian TV. The German Air Force had used poorly secured communication software, which resulted in Russia's interception of their top-secret conversations. This was the German Taurus leak — a real-life drama that underscored the importance of encrypted, secure communications for everyone’s safety, including governments. But here’s the kicker: while we’re still reeling from security fiascoes like this one or the recent Pegasus spyware scandal, police chiefs in the European Union are pushing a policing agenda that puts us all in the c...

The European Commission said on May 6 that it had taken the first steps to drop its sanctions procedure against Poland over the rule-of-law issues. The EU's executive arm launched the procedure, which can lead to the suspension of certain rights, in 2017 against the Polish government at the time led by the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party. "Today marks a new chapter for Poland. After more than 6 years, we believe that the Article 7 procedure can be closed," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on X. "I congratulate Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his government on th...

New EU fiscal rules entered into force on 30 April – but what are the next steps? By 21 June, the Commission will provide technical guidance to member states. It will also decide whether to launch its corrective instrument, the excessive deficit procedure (EDP), for each country. So far, only Romania has an ongoing EDP, but more member states could soon follow. Even those that have seen an increase in public spending driven by a surge in defence investments, although this will be a relevant factor to be taken into account when deciding whether to open an EDP. Following the Commission's technic...

Party leaders aspiring to be president of the Commission offered few clear insights on agriculture policies during an electoral debate held on Monday evening (29 April) in Maastricht. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen led other candidates in swerving questions on agriculture during the debate and dodged the issue when asked on the withdrawal of a proposal setting up obligatory pesticide reduction targets in the EU. She deferred decisions on the course to be set for agriculture policy over the next five years to the outcome of a strategic dialogue for the future of agriculture, a reflec...

The EU may need a bigger budget as it fronts up to problems including aid to Ukraine and investment in the military, a senior official said at a conference in Brussels today (29 April). Brussels’ existing budget comes to just over €1 trilllion, and the Commission is due in June of next year to come out with its plans for the next seven-year period ending in 2034. There should be a “budget matching our ambition for a stronger, more competitive and secure Europe,” EU Budget Commissioner Johannes Hahn said. "We should avoid getting stuck into the obsession that the budget cannot exceed 1% of EU G...

Responsible policymakers are informed by evidence, especially in times of uncertainty. To navigate complex trade-offs, deal with unpredictability, and balance the interests of the present, the near- and the far-future, evidence-based strategic foresight is a powerful compass to guide decisions. Used well, Europe’s advanced foresight tools can give it a long-term competitive edge. That’s why it’s so alarming that EU heads of state and government appear to be ready to ignore the wealth of evidence at their disposal, if the leaked priority-setting document for the next five years of the EU instit...
