European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed increasing imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States to reduce the EU's reliance on Russian supplies. This discussion took place during a recent phone call with US President-elect Donald Trump.
Italy is intensifying its efforts to amend the EU's plan to ban new combustion engine cars by 2035, as the automotive sector faces challenges in transitioning. Alongside the Czech Republic, Italy is advocating for a broader range of solutions beyond just battery electric and hydrogen vehicles. They are also pushing for an earlier review by the European Commission, moving it up from 2026 to next year.
Ghana's Cocoa Management System (CMS) aims to enhance cocoa traceability and comply with EU deforestation regulations, having already registered 793,000 farmers and mapped 1.2 million hectares. A proposed one-year delay in the EU's deforestation regulation implementation could provide Ghana additional time to finalize the CMS and improve logistics. This extension is also crucial for Tanzania, where coffee farmer registration is just beginning.
European leaders are bracing for increased American protectionism regardless of the U.S. election outcome, with both candidates likely to adopt "America first" policies. Concerns are rising over potential trade conflicts, especially if Trump returns to power, as he has threatened tariffs that could strain European exports and weaken the euro. EU officials are preparing for both scenarios while emphasizing the need for enhanced competitiveness and economic resilience.
The European Commission has finalized an agreement with Britain to enhance cooperation in antitrust investigations, marking the first direct collaboration between EU national competition authorities and a non-EU authority. This agreement will facilitate the sharing of information on significant antitrust and merger cases and enable coordinated investigations, establishing principles to prevent jurisdictional conflicts.
The EU is preparing for the potential return of former President Trump, with ambassadors from member states meeting with top officials to discuss strategies, including a "Trump task force" focused on trade and energy. Concerns include Trump's threats to impose tariffs and his critical stance on NATO allies. The EU aims to maintain a strong partnership with the U.S. regardless of the election outcome.
Fears are rising among health NGOs as a significant EU funding cut looms, potentially forcing smaller organizations to reduce staff or shut down. The EU4Health budget will be slashed by 20 percent to support Ukraine, leading to frustration and uncertainty about future funding allocations. The European Commission is currently working on the 2025 EU4Health work program, but details remain scarce.
Azerbaijan's human rights issues are under scrutiny as tensions with the EU escalate ahead of COP29. MEPs are urging the EU to reconsider a gas deal with Azerbaijan, alleging it supports human rights abuses and facilitates Russian fossil fuel laundering. In response, Azerbaijan's foreign policy chief accused the EU of being influenced by Armenian interests and criticized calls for the release of Armenian war criminals. Human rights organizations are pressing Western leaders to address the crackdown on dissent in Azerbaijan, as civil society faces increasing repression.
The European Union has approved the release of 799 million euros ($862 million) in recovery funds to Slovakia, following a standoff over amendments to the criminal code and the abolition of the special prosecutor’s office. This decision comes after the European Commission assessed a package of laws aimed at enhancing anti-corruption measures and the integrity of the justice system.
French farmers plan to protest starting November 15, 2024, against the EU-Mercosur trade deal, which they oppose despite the French government's public stance. As the European Commission seeks to finalize the agreement, it is reportedly developing a compensation fund to address farmers' concerns and mitigate resistance from France.
