Kokott’s opinion reinforces the Commission’s view that Google’s conduct — including pre-installing its search app and Chrome browser, and preventing manufacturers from selling devices running modified versions of Android — constitutes a form of market abuse. While her recommendations aren’t binding on the top court, judges frequently follow advice from advocates general. A final ruling could come later this year. The search giant originally received a €4.34 billion fine in 2018, the largest in a string of investigations into its businesses. This number was reduced to €4.125 billion by the General Court in 2022. Kokott said that the lower court was…
With the Middle East teetering on the brink of another devastating war, U.S. President Donald Trump is seriously considering joining the Israeli attack on Iran. The American military possesses the firepower Israel would need to target a vital underground nuclear facility. Thursday morning, patients and staff hid in shelters at the Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel where the Iranian strike caused significant damage, according to The Times of Israel. “We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran,” Netanyahu vowed Thursday morning in response to the Iranian strikes. Meanwhile, Israel hit Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor on…
“Then, if the deal is ‘papered up’ in law by that stage, this bureaucratic labeling won’t be required at all.” But a figure close to discussions about the future of the scheme — granted anonymity to speak freely — called for realistic expectations of when an SPS deal was likely to happen. “First of all, the U.K. needs to align itself to EU standards, where it has diverged,” they said. For example, the U.K. has authorized emergency use of certain pesticides that are banned in the EU. Some suppliers may decide to drop out of the Northern Ireland market altogether.…
Divisions over the justification for Israel’s attack on Iran last Friday are set to surface among ambassadors in Brussels on Thursday, stymying EU attempts at finding a common response to the crisis, according to sources Euronews has spoken to.”It’s definitely an issue that is being discussed – what is the extent to which this right of self-defence is acceptable,” one source said.The EU issued a statement on Saturday calling “on all sides to abide by international law, show restraint and refrain from taking further steps which could lead to serious consequences such as potential radioactive release”.Sources close to the discussion say a…
“Most of those credits came to Europe and were about to kill the ETS market,” he added. “It dampened the prices, and so along with a market stability reserve, we designed a policy to close the door to all credits coming from the CDM.” Yet times have changed, Delbeke insisted. A new global framework regulating credits under the Paris climate accord was finalized in November with the EU’s support. But the bloc has also “learned its lesson” not to accept any and all projects included in an international system, and should instead set its own standards, he said. Delbeke also…
By AP with Eleanor Butler Published on 19/06/2025 – 7:44 GMT+2Nippon Steel and US Steel said on Wednesday they have finalised their “historic partnership”, a deal that gives the US government a say in some business matters and comes a year-and-a-half after the Japanese company first proposed its nearly $15bn (€13bn) buyout of the iconic American steelmaker.The pursuit by Nippon Steel of the Pittsburgh-based company was buffeted by national security concerns and presidential politics in a premier battleground state, dragging out the transaction for more than a year after US Steel shareholders approved it.It also forced Nippon Steel to expand the…

Die AfD gibt sich gern israelfreundlich – doch in der Realität zeigt sich ein zerrissenes Bild. In dieser Folge analysiert Gordon Repinski gemeinsam mit Pauline von Pezold, wie sehr die Fraktion beim Thema Israel-Iran-Krieg gespalten ist: Ost gegen West, Weidel gegen Chrupalla, außenpolitische Linie gegen diffuse Statements.Im 200-Sekunden-Interview versucht Markus Frohnmaier, außenpolitischer Sprecher der AfD, die Gratwanderung: Ja zur Sicherheit Israels, aber Nein zu konkreten Angriffen? Den Artikel von Frederik Schindler von WELT lest ihr hier.Außerdem: Deutschland und die Niederlande starten Gasbohrungen im Wattenmeer – ein Projekt, das unter Habeck blockiert war. Nun kommt Bewegung rein – unter anderem dank…
What makes this notable is its brazenness. Medinsky isn’t simply denying a crime; he’s attempting to rewrite accepted rules of war in real time, erasing legal distinctions between rescue and abduction. By framing Ukraine’s demand for justice as theatrical propaganda aimed at “European grandmothers,” he trivializes the ICC’s arrest warrants for Putin and Lvova-Belova — warrants rooted in meticulously documented evidence. This is Russia’s playbook: weaponize absurdity to corrode the credibility of international institutions, all the while continuing to commit the crimes those institutions are designed to punish. Medinsky isn’t simply denying a crime; he’s attempting to rewrite accepted rules…
