Données personnelles : l’Europe va assouplir sa réglementation dans “les semaines à venir” – POLITICO Skip to main content

Mais enclencher un recours supplémentaire pourrait à nouveau l’empêcher de candidater en 2027. Ou pas. Le débat, soulevé par Le Canard enchaîné, agitait ces derniers jours élus, stratèges politiques, juristes et journalistes : un pourvoi en cassation suspendrait-il l’exécution provisoire décidée en première instance, mais non confirmée en appel ? Le palmipède estime que ce recours bloquerait l’arrêt de la cour d’appel… et qu’on en reviendrait à la décision du tribunal correctionnel, à savoir l’entrée en vigueur immédiate de l’inéligibilité. Cette interprétation juridique n’est pas partagée par tous. L’avocat de Marine Le Pen, bien logiquement, a soutenu l’inverse, mardi, sur…

Emmanuel Macron has lashed out against Donald Trump’s decision to impose reciprocal tariffs on virtually every country, calling the move “brutal” and “unfounded” and proposing a temporary halt in future European investments in America.The pause, he said, should last “until we have clarified things with the United States.””What would be the message of having major European players start investing billions of euros in the American economy at the moment when they are hitting us?” Macron said during a meeting with French industry representatives.”We need to have collective solidarity.”During his speech, Macron did not hold back against Trump’s unprecedented initiative, which…

Macron’s comments are seen as an attempt to dissuade French tycoons from cozying up to Trump, potentially to try to cut private deals, outside regular EU trade policy. Earlier this month Trump announced that French shipping giant CMA CGM intended to invest €20 billion in the U.S. In January, meanwhile, Bernard Arnault, the head of luxury goods giant LVMH, said he was considering increasing investment in the U.S. and lauded Trump’s economic policy. On Wednesday the Trump administration slapped the EU with 20 percent tariffs on all exports to the U.S. in what Macron called “a brutal and unfounded decision.”…

Bulgaria’s government has survived a parliamentary vote of no-confidence brought by a pro-Russia opposition party over a supposed failure in the country’s foreign policy.The motion brought by the Vazrazhdane party and backed by two small nationalist groups criticised the government’s pro-Western stance, its support for Ukraine and ongoing sanctions on Moscow.The move was defeated in the 240-seat parliament with 150 votes against and 54 in favour.Before the vote, analysts predicted the outcome, citing that the majority of Buglaria’s lawmakers support the country’s pro-European orientation.Bulgaria has been a member of the EU since 2007.”For Vazrazhdane, the vote is a tool to…

It’s been more than three years since Russia invaded Ukraine. The United States and the European Union rallied behind the country providing financial and military support, while a cultural boycott saw Russia banned from multinational events like Eurovision. Russian artists and institutions were also boycotted. When London’s Royal Ballet put on a performance of ‘The Nutcracker’ in late 2022, it confirmed its policy wouldn’t be to work with those associated with the Russian state, such as the Bolshoi Theatre. Since 2022, strict approaches like these have waned. For example, the controversial Russians at War which debuted at last year’s Venice…

L’organisation a communiqué à l’Olaf l’information initiale au sujet de cette lettre ouverte signée par huit eurodéputés, qui l’a ensuite écartée en raison de “soupçons insuffisants”. “Etant donné que nous avons également soulevé cette question de manière bilatérale lors d’une réunion avec [Itälä] le 20 décembre 2022, ils avaient la possibilité de nous contacter pour obtenir davantage d’informations”, a retracé Aiossa dans une réponse écrite. En concurrence avec le Parquet européen Ville Itälä souhaite désormais s’attacher à prouver la pertinence de l’Olaf dans le paysage en constante évolution de la lutte contre la corruption dans l’UE. Par exemple, illustre-t-il, les…

The pharmaceutical sector on both sides of the Atlantic appeared to have dodged Trump’s tariffs last night, as pharmaceutical products were among several categories exempted from reciprocal tariffs, according to a White House fact sheet. Copper, lumber, semiconductors and energy were among others’ escaping the tariff guillotine.The industry had been bracing for impact since February, when Trump suggested imposing 25% tariffs on medicines.Among the most exposed EU countries to tariffs on pharmaceuticals is Ireland, where US companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and AbbVie have recently shifted significant manufacturing operations.Other key exporters of pharmaceuticals and…

TikTok’s parent company ByteDance is reportedly set to be hit with a fine of over €500 million for illegally shipping European user data to China. The privacy fine will be issued by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (Irish DPC), according to Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter.The report said that the fine is a result of an investigation that found Europe’s privacy rules were breached as data was sent to China to be assessed by engineers, breaking the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The DPC, TikTok’s main regulator in Europe, is likely to impose the penalty before the end of April,…
