The presence of Toyota vehicles in conflict-struck zones around the globe, particularly in the Middle East, the African continent, and many parts of western Asia – i.e. Afghanistan, has drawn much attention to be analyzed. Such vehicles, particularly the Toyota Hilux, are inextricably associated with violence when it comes to warzone transport vessels for insurgents and other violent extremists. Understanding this relationship can be attributed to a few key principles in hardware conflict dynamics: practicality, durability, availability, and geopolitical subtleties.

Insolvency laws are the rules governing the legal proceedings applicable to companies unable to repay debts as they fall due. The convergence of non-financial companies' insolvency laws across the Member States is high on the EU's policy agenda: the two reports requested from former Italian prime ministers Enrico Letta and Mario Draghi both emphasised the importance of the convergence of insolvency laws for the defragmentation and proper functioning of EU capital markets. This would help unlock capital and support both the EU's green and digital transitions and its competitiveness in general. In 2019, the EU adopted a directive to harmonise the preventive restructuring framework. The European Parliament and the Council are currently debating a European Commission proposal on the harmonisation of certain aspects of insolvency regimes. Theoretical and empirical economic literature has provided substantial evidence suggesting that insolvency regimes impact the conduct of business, in particular access to equity and debt, and their respective costs. The insolvency regime is an implicit component of the contract between a company and its financiers, and determines the chance of recovery of credits in the event of company failure. Converging corporate insolvency rules would also increase the predictability of returns on cross-border financing, enhancing volumes while decreasing costs. The European Parliament and the Council have expressed support for harmonising insolvency laws with a view to completing the savings and investment union and boosting the financing of the EU's economy.

Migrant smuggling is a key activity for criminal networks operating in the EU, sustained by continued demand for facilitation services. Geopolitical and socioeconomic instability worldwide, as well as climate change, are expected to keep driving migratory movements. Migrant smuggling is a high-profit, low-risk business, and the criminal groups involved are increasingly sophisticated, professional and violent. Many of those who willingly pay smugglers to help them cross borders do so at great personal risk. Parliament will discuss the links between organised crime and migrant smuggling during its January plenary session. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

The EU's population is ageing and set to decline. The shrinking working-age population poses risks in terms of greater labour shortages, increased pressure on public budgets, worsened territorial disparities and depopulation. These can negatively impact EU competitiveness, slow down the green and digital transitions and undermine social cohesion. While managing the demographic transition is the responsibility of Member States, it has also become one of the biggest challenges the EU is facing today. The Commission is due to make a statement on addressing demographic challenges during the January plenary session. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
