By Hannah Brown & Eleanor Butler & Camille Simonet Published on 01/12/2025 – 6:47 GMT+1 Shipping plays a key role in our economy, with almost 50% of goods traded between the EU and non-EU countries being transported by sea, according to 2024 data. That role is only growing, with data suggesting that the share of goods transported by sea rose by nine percentage points for imports and by over four points for exports between 2002 and 2023. But with the UN’s International Maritime Organisation (IMO) trying to introduce a levy on carbon emissions from shipping, is the industry ready to reduce its impact…

Dr. André Schmidt / Via Novartis Wer das Geschlecht in der Medizin mitdenkt, sorgt für bessere Therapien und bessere Ergebnisse – für alle.

Around 75% of Europeans were forced to cut their spending to meet mortgage payments in 2025. This reflects the average across the 23 countries included in the most recent European Housing Trends Report, published by RE/MAX Europe.

Across the 23 countries studied, roughly 25% of mortgage owners “haven’t ever had to cut back, find alternatives, or stop buying things in order to afford their mortgage”, according to the…
High energy prices, risks on CBAM enforcement and promotion of lead markets, as well as increasing carbon costs are hampering domestic and export competitiveness with non-EU producers. The cement industry is fundamental to Europe’s construction value chain, which represents about 9 percent of the EU’s GDP. Its hard-to-abate production processes are also currently responsible for 4 percent of EU emissions, and it is investing heavily in measures aimed at achieving full climate neutrality by 2050, in line with the European Green Deal. Marcel Cobuz, CEO, TITAN Group “We should take a longer view and ensure that the cement industry in…
Authorities in Indonesia on Sunday reported the death toll from floods and landslides in Indonesia has risen to 442 people, even as emergency services continue their frantic efforts to access portions of the hardest-hit Sumatra island, where thousands of people were left without essential supplies.

According to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), some 402 more individuals were still missing after initial…

Der Vizekanzler sucht weiter nach einer eigenen Rolle und spürt die Distanz zur eigenen SPD. Gordon Repinski zeichnet nach, wie Führungsschwäche und Unsicherheit die Partei prägen und warum sich die Frage nach einem Kurs für die kommenden Jahre immer dringlicher stellt. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht Sebastian Roloff, wirtschaftspolitischer Sprecher der SPD, über die Ausrichtung der Partei. Er erklärt, warum die Partei aus seiner Sicht niemanden außer den politischen Gegnern von rechts bekämpft, wie er die Rolle…
Under French law, non-working citizens from outside the EU who have a long-stay visa and can prove they have sufficient pension or capital revenue (more than €23,000 annually) as well as private health care insurance can, after three months, obtain a carte vitale, which gives them free access to public health care. At that point, they can annul their previous private health insurance and benefit from the French one. It’s become a popular choice for U.S. retirees in recent years. But a majority of French lawmakers wants to put an end to that situation and make them pay a minimum…
On Friday, the eve of the conference, the former Labour leader — suspended from the party by current Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his response to a damning report on antisemitism — sat in a group meeting at Paul’s Place, a not-for-profit set up to support people bereaved by suicide. Corbyn, now 76, has long prized grassroots and community action over the glare of national politics. After the meeting, with attendees encouraged to pick from plates of cheese and crackers, three people, all Your Party members, described Corbyn as the best prime minister we “never had.” In the ACC, others…
