For the first time, EU institutions face legal action for inaction on Gaza. Under Article 265 of the EU Treaty, lawyers from JURDI are taking the Commission & Council to court. Investigate Europe’s @maggiore.bsky.social reports for @euobserver.com. Our work is part of the case → bit.ly/3RZcQ8I

Ricorso a Comm e Consiglio Ue cita, tra le altre prove, i 15 progetti del Fondo Europeo per la Difesa che la Comm tiene aperti con la società greca Intracom Defense, di proprietà dell'israeliana IAI, per sviluppare armi, come svelato da @investigate-europe.eu e @reportersunited.gr 👇

I giuristi passano all'azione: giovedi parte il ricorso contro @EU_Commission e @EUCouncil per non-azione su #Gaza. Senza scomodare Convenzioni su genocidio, solo con Trattato Ue. Basta doppio standard con Russia. Oggi @euobserver.com @fattoquotidiano.bsky.social @reportersunited.gr @publico.es 👇

Quand le ministère des armées de Lecornu et l'Europe co-financent le développement d'un drone-tueur au profit de la société d'armement d’État israélienne, salement impliquée à Gaza. Ma dernière enquête @investigate-europe.eu pour @disclosengo.bsky.social #Gaza #Eu disclose.ngo/fr/article/l...

La Commissione finanzia 15 progetti di sviluppo di armi con società pubblica israeliana IAI. Sette lanciati dopo 7 ottobre. Rispetto del diritto internazionale, Carta diritti umani, UN Convention per Prevenzione genocidio? Niente, al Palazzo Berlyamont, business as usual. Oggi 👇

A European subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries is currently involved in 15 EU defence projects, including a multi-million euro drone development programme co-funded by European governments.

Uh!

Trois ans après l’invasion de l’#Ukraine, la Russie importe des milliers de pièces aéronautiques Airbus et Boeing, en dépit des sanctions et du risque de détournement militaire. Notre enquête @investigate-eu.bsky.social est à lire chez @disclosengo.bsky.social 🧵 disclose.ngo/fr/article/e...

Read the latest issue of Secrecy Tracker! The newsletter from Investigate Europe, @ftm.nl & @euobserver.com exposing how the EU institutions fail to fulfill their duty of transparency. This time, @hsc55.bsky.social reveals how secrecy erodes democratic accountability. bit.ly/4jQmLn0

URGENT: EU Data Protection Supervisor risks being full of conflicts of interest, coming from the Commission to control the Commission. Please, sign this open letter to stop that. I did. @investigate-eu.bsky.social @reportersunited.gr @journalismarena.eu www.digihumanism.eu/publications...

Intelligence artificielle: la France ouvre la voie à la surveillance de masse en Europe. Une enquête coécrite par notre @leilaminano.bsky.social et @maggiore.bsky.social pour @investigate-eu.bsky.social et @disclosengo.bsky.social.

Negoziati AI Act, 24/11/2023, Francia: "E' molto importante preservare la possibilità di ricercare una persona..che esprime un credo religioso o un'opinione politica, come l'indossare un distintivo o un accessorio, se coinvolta nell'estremismo violento o presenta un rischio terroristico”.

The European Commission says the Artificial Intelligence Act will "create an AI ecosystem that benefits everyone." But internal docs obtained by Investigate Europe reveal France and others successfully lobbied for various loopholes, giving authorities greater powers to use AI-powered surveillance:

This investigation was led by Investigate Europe reporters @maggiore.bsky.social, @leilaminano.bsky.social & @hsc55.bsky.social. The findings are published with our media partners across Europe: Disclose, Efsyn, EU Observer, Il Fatto Quotidiano, InfoLibre, Netzpolitik, Publico and Reporters United.

Governments successfully lobby for freedom to surveil citizens in public spaces, target border areas with AI systems and exploit predictive policing algorithms, internal documents obtained by Investigate Europe reveal.

Esce OGGI la nostra inchiesta sulle scappatoie per le forze di polizia con l'AI ACt, dal 2 febbraio in vigore. Potete leggere tutte le nostre scoperte sul nostro sito 👇 o su @fattoquotidiano.bsky.social. Qui le cose più inquietanti: www.investigate-europe.eu/it/posts/fra...

Our new investigation on the loopholes of the AI ACT IS OUT TODAY!

Ci risiamo. Non ci sono sanzioni per le sliding doors di chi lavora per le istituzioni europee: consulenti, politici, seppur con ruoli amministrativi. Tutti liberi di andare nel privato dopo aver lasciato l'UE.

I nostri colleghi greci @reporters_gr vanno domani a un secondo processo per aver indagato sullo scandalo delle spyware Predator, dov'era coinvolto l'ex segr gen del PM Mitsotakis. E' chiaramente una minaccia per fargli chiudere la bocca (SLAPP). Forza! ipi.media/greece-press...
