Karremans confirmed that the EU was not consulted in advance of his decision because he was worried about leaks, which could have sparked a scramble to remove the technology from Europe.

Europeans sanction Musk’s X for manifest breaches of its digital rights, not for interfering into its electoral processes or toxic contents, and fine it with peanuts amount. And yet the US administration denies Europeans their right to govern their digital markets (and themselves)

Why are they so triggered for such minor (for X) expense? Seems to be used as pretense.

France 🇫🇷 Hier, plusieurs drones ont survolé la base navale de l'Île Longue, au Finistère. L'armée Française a tiré sur les drones. Pour rappel, cette base est stratégique car elle abrite des sous-marins nucléaires de la Marine.

JD Vance Munich Speech has become the Vance Doctrine. Actionable policy which includes and prescribes direct interference into EU democratic processes by supporting far right and Eurosceptic parties. If this is not the final wake up call Europe, I don't know what is.

Despite its rhetoric, the #EU is undermining multilateral processes aiming to democratise & improve global economic governance. This hypocrisy was evident last week when it again opposed a UN intergovernmental process on #debt architecture. Read our OpEd: euobserver.com/eu-and-the-w...

While I usually dislike calls for another Airbus or similar, I tend to agree with Neitzel here. Having looked into the Franco-German cooperation on FCAS, it really shows that unless we change the incentive structure, there just won’t be a *European* defence industry.

I don’t know details of this system or company but this type of naval drone is exactly what is needed right now! Good development. www.eweek.com/news/greysha...

The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel. China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe aren’t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.
