„Nemuno aušros“ partijai priklausantis Seimo narys Karolis Neimantas sutinka, kad jeigu Nacionalinio radijo ir televizijos įstatyme generaliniam direktoriui atleisti būtų įtvirtintas slaptas balsavimas, atsižvelgus į Valstybės kontrolės audito išvadas, LRT generalinė direktorė Monika Garbačiauskaitė-Budrienė jau būtų atstatydinta. Apie tai jis kalbėjo LRT laidoje „LRT forumas“, tačiau nepatikslino, kas LRT tarybai kliudo priimti tokį sprendimą atviru balsavimu.

The proposal for a Global Europe instrument is included in the post-2027 multiannual financial framework (MFF) package, which aims to be simpler than previous regulations and to provide additional flexibility (over and above MFF ceilings). The new instrument merges the Neighbourhood, Development, International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe; the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance, humanitarian aid; the Ukraine Facility, the Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans; and the Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova. The impact assessment (IA) focuses on the six corresponding regulations. It falls under the Better Regulation Tool #9 (special case of preparing a new MFF); the scope and depth of analysis are therefore different compared with a non-MFF IA. Although the IA provides an intervention logic and defines the drivers, the problem definition remains vague and unclear. Moreover, the interlinks with objectives and drivers are not detailed in the intervention logic. In accordance with the Better Regulation Requirements, the IA assesses the expected economic, social and environmental impacts for the three policy options. It also compares and rates them against the Better Regulation criteria of effectiveness, efficiency and coherence. Proportionality and subsidiarity are not assessed in the IA, not even in the policy options. In terms of monitoring and evaluation, the IA is limited on data collection methods and on how progress will be measured. The evidence from previous evaluations could have been better integrated in the IA and be used to provide quantitative estimates. The Regulatory Scrutiny Board decided to issue an opinion without qualification given the lack of fundamental elements in this IA. The legislative proposal is aligned with the IA's preferred option.

Energy drinks, widely marketed as performance-enhancing products, contain high levels of caffeine, sugar and stimulants such as taurine and guarana. Rising and excessive consumption among adolescents has raised public health concerns linked to acute cardiovascular effects, sleep disruption and gastrointestinal issues. Although the global energy drink market is expanding rapidly, these beverages still represent a small share of the EU non-alcoholic drinks market. European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) consumption data indicate that adolescents are the age group with the highest consumption of energy drinks, with some of them being high chronic users. At EU level, no product-specific legislation exists. However, Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 requires a mandatory high-caffeine warning label. Industry bodies such as UNESDA (representing the non-alcoholic beverages sector) and Energy Drinks Europe apply voluntary marketing restrictions, particularly concerning children. National rules vary widely. Several EU countries – including Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria – have introduced bans on sales to minors, while others rely on voluntary retail measures. Outside the EU, diverse regulatory models exist, from strict bans to voluntary guidelines. The European Commission considers EFSA's 2015 scientific opinion on the safety of caffeine sufficient and sees no need for additional EU-level action at this stage.

According to Eurostat, EU research and development expenditure relative to GDP stood at 2.26 % in 2023, while in comparison it stood respectively at 3.59 % in the United States, and 2.56 % in China (2022). In his 2024 report on the future of European Competitiveness, Mario Draghi identified this gap as one of the root causes of the EU's lack of competitiveness. Against this backdrop, the proposed 10th EU framework programme for research and innovation should help to preserve EU research and innovation ecosystem excellence in producing world-class scientific knowledge, while improving the capacity to exploit such knowledge, in particular by scaling-up innovative technologies and solutions. While the programme's architecture is apparently a continuation of the current 2021-2027 Horizon Europe programme, the creation of a European competitiveness fund creates a specific set of rules and governance that will apply to a substantial part of Horizon collaborative research activities.

진영승 합동참모의장은 2일 오후 주세페 카보 드라고네 북대서양조약기구(NATO·나토) 군사위원장과 첫 공조통화를 통해 양자 간 군사협력 증진 방안을 논의했다. 진 의장은 지난 9월 서울안보대화 참석 등 한반도와 인도태평양 지역 안보에 대한 나토 군사위원장의 관심과 의지 표명에 감사를 전했다. 이와 함께 불확실성이 증대되는 안보환경 속 우방국 간 연대 강화가 더욱 중요하다고 강조했다.양측은 이어 한-나토간 진행 중인 ‘개별 맞춤형 파트너십 프로그램(ITPP) 군사·국방분야의 성과를 평가했다. 동시에 앞으로도 인적교류, 정보공유 및 사이버·우주·인공지능 등 다양한 분야에서의 실질적인 군사협력을 강화해 나가기로 했다.지난 1월 취임한 드라고네 군사위원장은 이탈리아 해군 대장으로 나토 군사조직의 최고 선임자이다. 그는 취임 이후 한국을 방문하고 공조 통화를 갖는 등 우리 합참과 교류를 이어가고 있다.[서울=뉴시스]

지난해 12월 3일, 불법 비상계엄이 선포되던 밤. 서울 영등포구 국회의사당 안팎에서는 평범한 시민들의 사투가 시작됐다. 누군가는 퇴근길에, 누군가는 가족과 집에 있다가, 또 누군가는 국회에서 근무하다가 그곳으로 향했다. 직업도 나이도 제각각이었지만 ‘국회는 무너져선 안 된다’는 마음 하나로 모두가 같은 곳을 향해 뛰었다.동아일보 취재팀은 계엄 1년을 맞아 ‘그날’ 국회에 있었던 시민 15명을 만났다. 계엄 선포부터 해제까지 걸린 시간은 약 2시간 30분. 시민들은 처음엔 믿기 힘든 ‘당혹’을, 이후엔 모여든 사람 속에서 ‘연대’를, 그리고 계엄 해제 순간에는 ‘안도와 벅참’을 떠올렸다고 공통으로 증언했다. 그리고 그들을 막아섰던 군·경은 ‘고통’과 ‘후회’를 털어놨다.● “뛰는 길에 유서 써” “가족 만류에도 ‘지키러’”오후 10시 27분, 강영수 노무사(33)는 평범한 화요일 밤을 보내던 중 형에게서 걸려 온 전화로 잠에서 깼다. “계엄했다는데….” 생각을 정리할 틈도 없이

더불어민주당은 2일 이재명 정부 첫 예산안인 2026년도 예산안 국회 본회의 처리를 앞두고 “지켜야 할 것을 모두 지켜냈다”며 협상 결과에 만족을 표했다. 정청래 민주당 대표는 이날 국회에서 열린 의원총회 모두발언에서 “오늘 예산이 통과가 될 것”이라며 “민주당으로서는 지켜야 할 것을 모두 지켰다. 이재명 정부 첫 예산안을 여야 합의로 처리하게 된 것은 매우 다행스러운 일이다“고 말했다. 이어 ”예산안 법정 처리 기한인 12월 2일을 준수하게 된 것도 의미가 있다”고 덧붙였다.또 “국회에서 예산 총액이 늘어나는 것을 막기 위해 총지출 감액 범위 내에서만 증액 사업을 반영해야 되는 원칙을 세웠고 지켜졌다“며 ”정책 예산에 있어서도 민주당이 의미 있다고 생각하는 부분을 정부안 대비 많이 증액했다”고 말했다. 정 대표는 “이렇게 다섯 가지 의미를 부여할 만큼 잘된 예산 협상은 제 기억으로는 이번이 처음”이라고 덧붙였다.김병기 민주당 원내대표도 “우리 이재명 정부의 첫 예산안이 핵심
