EU’s red tape revenge comes for gas leakage rules

BRUSSELS — The EU’s bureaucracy-slashing crusade is coming for rules meant to bottle up methane — a climate-warming, air-polluting gas. The argument is one that’s become commonplace in Europe: The rules are a good idea, but will impose unnecessary, contradictory and confusing requirements on EU firms that need a helping hand. In this instance, it’s EU fuel importers in the crosshairs.

J. D. Vance va critiquer l’Europe - c’est tout… pour le moment

La vice-présidence des Etats-Unis est un poste particulier. Sans rôle formel, c’est un personnage important qui est à la fois impuissant et (potentiellement) tout-puissant. Si Donald Trump gagne la présidentielle en novembre, James David Vance n’échappera pas à la règle. Une vague d’inquiétude a déferlé sur l’Europe mardi après que ce dernier — un isolationniste qui estime que l’Amérique protège l’Europe “depuis bien trop longtemps” — a été choisi comme colistier de Trump.

EU plots new ways to cut Russia’s cash as sanctions stall

May 30, 2024 |

By Victor Jack , Koen Verhelst , Cory Bennett

| POLITICO Europe

EU countries are concocting creative new ways to stifle Russia’s cash flow after two years of sanctions failed to cripple Moscow’s war machine. The ideas took shape Thursday during two parallel meetings of EU ministers in Brussels. Notably, the methods discussed would allow the EU to target various Russian exports — including its cash cow, fossil fuels — without requiring unanimity from all EU members. They would also bolster the EU’s energy security before winter sets in.

The move is the final stage of a three-part plan to get Ukraine 1 million ammo rounds within a year and also ensure Europe’s own stockpiles don’t run dry.
