What has been adopted is a complete unravelling of the very idea of the due diligence directive. The law that was supposed to make corporate offenders pay has been turned into a licence for impunity

🎯How EU must act on China&US. We are not a small state who should be afraid, but 450m people, & 2nd largest economy globally.
EU, national politicians & their endless vetoes has so far chosen to bend over, making EU worthless.

"If one lesson is clear since J.D. Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference, it is that the old transatlantic partnership between the US and Europe has degenerated into an abusive relationship — held together only by Europe’s dependency and a kind of political Stockholm Syndrome."

The plan of the Budapest summit is an unfriendly move by the U.S. that rewards Putin and Orbán while ridiculing the EU.
But the EU can do more behind closed doors than merely cross its fingers for an Alaska-like, fruitless summit.

Holding a Trump-Putin summit in Budapest would be a charade
Vladimir Putin would have to cross the airspace of at least one, if not more, EU and Nato member states to reach Budapest. This would mean that one EU country, under US pressure, would have to breach ...

I've supported the #EU as a concept for decades. My whole life really.
I have a British and German background. My family fought on opposite sides of WW2.
For me, the EU always meant the healing of that divide.
It feels even more important now.

As long as EU do not protect our tech companies from foreign take-overs, they will be bought by the US mega corporations (and China), and keep EU in a US tech dependency paying US tech-taxes.

Excellent. We also need an EU alternative to Visa&Mastercard for payments in Eurozone, both debit & credit. The transaction costs has to be as low as on national cards.
Denmark should join the € now, to get the benefits of this, & so more competition means lower prices.
