EU tech regulation and single market barriers are driving startups and talent abroad
The Commission's €387,000 metaverse party became a punchline, but the real problem runs deeper. Structural barriers inside the EU’s single market act like tariffs, driving up costs, slowing innovation, and sending Europe’s best talent elsewhere. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen looks at the invention 'Sara' at the AI Xperience Center at VUB in Brussels, in February 2020.
EU tech regulation and single market barriers are driving startups and talent abroad
When the European Commission spent €387,000 on a party in the metaverse to promote its €300-billion Global Gateway investment plan, the aim was to showcase Brussels as forward-looking and tech-savvy. Instead, the event became infamous for other reasons: reports suggest that at one point, only a handful of avatars were swaying on the virtual dancefloor. What was meant as a celebration of Europe’s global ambitions turned into a symbol of its uneasy relationship to emerging technology.

Delay in antitrust proceedings against Google
Question for written answer E-003529/2025 to the Commission Rule 144 Sandro Gozi (Renew) According to media reports, the Commission has apparently decided to postpone its antitrust proceedings against Google.

Una tassa digitale per i giganti tecnologici Usa, l'Unione Europea sia risoluta con Trump che vuole riscrivere le leggi di Bruxelles
Il presidente americano Donald Trump ha nuovamente alzato i toni contro i suoi partner internazionali, minacciando “tariffe sostanziali” e restrizioni all’export contro qualsiasi Paese osi introdurre una tassa digitale o far rispettare le proprie regole alle multinazionali tecnologiche statunitensi. Quello che in Scozia era stato venduto come un “accordo” tra Trump e la presidente della Commissione europea Ursula von der Leyen non è mai stato altro che una fragile tregua.
Op-ed: The EU must resist Trump’s attempts at digital domination

La verità, vi prego, sul green. Le ragioni della direttiva Ue
In Europa, ogni giorno, milioni di cittadini scelgono di pagare un po’ di più per un prodotto sostenibile. Lo fanno per convinzione, per fiducia. Lo fanno anche quando hanno un potere d’acquisto molto basso. Una confezione che promette di essere “green”, “carbon neutral” o “biologica” esercita un richiamo forte, soprattutto su chi vuole contribuire, nel proprio piccolo, a un mondo più pulito. Ma cosa succede quando quella promessa è falsa? Quando dietro il marketing verde si cela una bugia?

Cospedal pone en duda la existencia de la policía patriótica y recalca que ella nunca tuvo responsabilidades en Interior
La exsecretaria general del PP María Dolores de Cospedal ha dicho este lunes que la llamada "policía patriótica", presuntamente orquestada desde el Ministerio del Interior bajo el mandato de Jorge Fernández Díaz, fue una "creación ficticia" que "no ha existido". "Yo pongo en duda que esa llamada policía política haya existido nunca.
"Visión europeísta", por Sandro Gozi*
Andoni Ortuzar ha sido un pilar del europeísmo vasco y un actor clave en hacer del PNV un referente en Europa, dentro del Partido Demócrata Europeo. Por ese compromiso político, es también vicepresidente de nuestro partido europeo. En todo este tiempo, nuestra relación ha sido siempre cercana, franca y constructiva. Tengo que destacar que compartimos la visión de una Europa fuerte, diversa y unida.
"El humor como arma política", por Uxue Barkos
Andoni ha pivotado el PNV en momentos históricos como el fin de ETA o el momento de la DUI declarada por el entonces president catalán Carles Puigdemont. Pero sobre todo es el dirigente que demostró que los jeltzales no solo deciden gobiernos en España, también los tumban. Mi relación política y personal partió del hecho de que Andoni y yo somos periodistas.
"El gasero avanza", por Imanol Pradales Gil
Andoni tenía solo 14 años cuando entró en la todavía ilegal EGI —era el año 1976—. Ahora apura sus últimos días al frente del Euzkadi Buru Batzar, una responsabilidad que nunca imaginó que debería asumir. Su trayectoria profesional y política se ha guiado siempre por una máxima: contribuir al crecimiento y al progreso de nuestro Pueblo. La razón de ser del PNV: Aberria eraiki, alderdia indartuz.
Perché il manifesto di Marina B. è piaciuto molto anche ai macroniani
Difendere i diritti, garantire le libertà individuali, credere nell’Europa come unica via per contare nel mondo: questi sono i valori che tutti i liberali e i democratici devono sostenere. Per non restare in balia di sterili nazionalismi Al direttore - Leggere l’intervista di Marina Berlusconi sul Foglio di lunedì, fa riflettere e anche un po’ sperare: parole chiare, lucide, lontane dalle derive estremiste che oggi avvelenano il dibattito pubblico.

Basta piangere sulla Brexit: serve una nuova alleanza tra Londra e Bruxelles
Sono passati cinque anni esatti dalla Brexit, il tempo delle recriminazioni è scaduto. L’Europa e il Regno Unito si trovano di fronte a una sfida epocale: ridefinire la propria relazione in un mondo segnato dalla competizione brutale tra Stati Uniti e Cina. Il vecchio continente non può più permettersi la frammentazione. O costruiamo una nuova architettura di collaborazione strategica, o accettiamo il destino dell’irrilevanza.
l'Ue deve difendersi dalle interferenze online

Europe needs a centrist agenda
Yair Zivan is the editor and author of “The Centre Must Hold – Why Centrism Is the Answer to Extremism and Polarisation.” Sandro Gozi is a former member of the Italian parliament, a current MEP and secretary-general of the European Democratic Party. Europe once again finds itself faced with a choice between the positive vision of centrism or the division, fear and anger of the extremes. And the outcome of the European Parliament election in June has left this debate far from settled.

in politica internazionale o sei seduto a tavola o sei sul menù
Ogni generazione, senza dubbio, si crede destinata a rifare il mondo. La mia sa però che non lo rifarà, ma la sua sfida è forse più grande. Consiste nell’impedire che il mondo finisca per disfarsi. È innegabile constatare che viviamo in un mondo segnato da un crescente disordine internazionale, dove le regole sembrano dissolversi una dopo l’altra. Tuttavia, rimango ottimista perché credo che sia cruciale distinguere i fatti da un’interpretazione erronea di essi.

[Opinion] Remembering Robert Schuman (1886-1963)
When he made the statement that launched European integration — the Schuman declaration we celebrate on Europe Day, 9 May — no one had thought to bring recording equipment or even a photographer. The stately images we know of him in the Salon de l'Horloge are from a second take a few days later. They had to do it again for posterity. But the idea he launched stuck: to drive a wedge between the causes of war and the means to wage it.
