The inclusion of a rebalancing mechanism into EU preferential trade agreements is a comparatively recent development. So far, only two such mechanisms have been introduced. A first rebalancing mechanism was incorporated into the EU–United Kingdom (UK) Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). It is designed to allow either party to take unilateral rebalancing measures (e.g. suspension of preferential tariffs) if, after the UK's withdrawal from the EU, 'significant divergences' from the principle of 'a level playing field for open and fair competition and sustainable development' were to emerge that have 'material impacts' on bilateral trade or investment. The mechanism does not apply to all provisions of the TCA. The TCA's mechanism has to date remained untested. A second rebalancing mechanism was introduced into the EU–Mercosur Partnership Agreement (EMPA) and the EU–Mercosur interim trade agreement (iTA). The mechanism applies to the trade pillar contained in both the EMPA and the iTA and is modelled on the World Trade Organization's rarely used non-violation complaint mechanism. Similar mechanisms exist in a number of regional preferential trade agreements, to most of which the United States is a party. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Ce document s’intègre dans une série d’études qui, avec une perspective de droit comparé, visent à faire une présentation de la liberté de pensée, de conscience et de religion dans différents ordres juridiques. Après avoir expliqué le droit positif et la jurisprudence d’application, le contenu, les limites et la possible évolution de cette liberté sont examinés. La présente étude a pour objet le cas de l’Union européenne. Cette liberté est garantie par l’article 10 de la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne et par nombreuses dispositions de droit primaire. Avant le Traité d’Amsterdam de 1997 et la directive 2000/78/CE du 27 novembre 2000, il n’y a eu que peu d’arrêts de la CJUE pertinents pour la liberté de pensée, de conscience et de religion, mais ils sont importants : l’arrêt Van Duyn c. Home Office, lié à la libre circulation des travailleurs et l’arrêt Vivien Prais, concernant l'égalité des chances des candidats de toutes les religions devant l'accès aux institutions de l’Union européenne. Par la suite, la jurisprudence s’est développée avec nombre d’arrêts concernent l’interprétation et l’application de la directive 2000/78/CE, et un nombre plus réduit concernant d’autres actes de droit dérivé, en particulier en ce qui concerne la liberté de religion. La jurisprudence précise notamment les limitations pouvant être apportées au port visible de signes politiques, philosophiques ou religieux et en particulier du foulard islamique, ainsi que la limite des discriminations sur l’emploi dues à l’appartenance religieuse ou à l’attitude de bonne foi ou de loyauté envers une éthique et les situations justifiant le droit d’asile ou la protection subsidiaire pour des ressortissants de pays tiers immigrant dans des États membres. La protection de cette liberté peut être considérée dans l’ensemble comme effective mais il ne faut pas oublier qu’elle ne s’applique que dans le champ des compétences de l’Union. Il y a cependant place pour des améliorations, notamment pour faire face aux défis présents et futurs. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

At least 72 cases involving scammers impersonating DBS Bank and POSB have been reported since Jan 15, with total losses amounting to at least $484,000. In a joint statement issued on Friday (March 27), the police and DBS said that in this scam variant, victims would receive emails purportedly from DBS or POSB claiming that their digital tokens have expired and need to be activated or updated. These emails would contain embedded links directing recipients to phishing websites that resemble official DBS or POSB webpages. Victims are then misled into entering their banking credentials, credit or debit card details, and one-time passwords to activate or update their digital tokens. Victims would subsequently discover unauthorised transactions, including those in foreign currencies such as euros and Saudi riyals, made on their bank accounts or cards, said the police.
