L’opposition attend de voir concrètement les mesures que le gouvernement présentera à l’hémicycle.

Délaisser les écrans pour découvrir les traditions polynésiennes, c'est ce qui est organisé au stade Willy Bambridge. Depuis le début des vacances scolaires, le site s’anime au rythme des tū'aro mā'ohi. Pas moins de 200 enfants, à 90% issus des quartiers prioritaires de Papeete, s’initient à ces sports traditionnels. Au programme : échasses, corde à sauter, course en sac, lancer de javelot et course de porteur de fruits. Une immersion dans la culture polynésienne qui éloigne la jeunesse des écrans et renforce les liens communautaires.

François Bayrou a jugé mercredi «possible» un accord en Nouvelle-Calédonie, sans lequel selon lui «le territoire ne pourra pas se rétablir», après que le ministre des Outre-mer, Manuel Valls, a proposé un projet d'accord qui doit servir de base de travail à de nouveaux pourparlers.

Donald Trump a une nouvelle fois défendu jeudi son offensive douanière visant à rapatrier de la production aux Etats-Unis, même si elle s'accompagne d'un «coût», de «problèmes» et de marchés en berne. Le président des Etats-Unis a par ailleurs annoncé la suspension pour 90 jours des surtaxes douanières pour les pays visés, dont l'UE et la France.

This paper outlines the European Union’s institutional framework for defining and executing an active euro exchange rate policy, against the backdrop of a potential policy shift by the United States. It outlines the emerging US debate on linking exchange rate policy with trade and security objectives and provides a background on past currency interventions by US and other central banks such as the Plaza Accord. The final part opens a discussion over the functioning and limits of the EU’s legal framework and division of competences on the euro exchange rate policy, and discusses relevant policy implications.

C’est un savoir qui se transmet de génération en génération. L'artisanat, du tressage à la sculpture en passant par les bijoux, permet de vivre de sa passion. Pourtant, certaines matières premières sont de plus en plus difficiles à trouver : comme l’os ou les coquillages. Ce n’est pas le cas pour Florine et Soraya, qui manient avec finesse la fibre de coco et le ‘a’eho, ce roseau des montagnes.

Les voitures sans permis, et parfois électriques, séduisent de plus en plus de Polynésiens. Même si leur prix est plus élevé, elles sont une alternative aux deux-roues. Surtout pour les jeunes à partir de 16 ans. Mais, si pour conduire ces véhicules, il n’est pas obligatoire d’avoir son permis de conduire, il faut tout de même maîtriser des notions du code de la route.

C'est un fléau à Tahiti et Moorea principalement : les vols de scooters. Ils sont en baisse en zone police, sur Papeete et Pirae, mais sont toujours une plaie pour les propriétaires de deux-roues. Certains modèles, particulièrement faciles à dérober, sont ciblés par les voleurs, qu'ils soient garés sur un parking ou chez leur propriétaire. Démontés, ils sont ensuite revendus rapidement en pièces détachées.

In the EU context, financial instruments represent measures for financial support provided from the EU budget – in addition to traditional grants – to address one or more specific EU policy objectives. While these instruments can take various forms, they are largely grouped into equity investments, loans or guarantees, and can be used in combination with grants. In policymaking, financial instruments are of great value, as they produce a leverage effect that unlocks public and – most importantly – private resources beyond the initially invested capital. Financial instruments can be set up at different levels of governance. The Next Generation EU (NGEU) recovery instrument, worth up to €712 billion, was set up to help Member States emerge more resilient from the pandemic while fostering the green and digital transitions. It does so through its main spending tool – the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) –in the form of grants and loans. Moreover, NGEU combines loans and grants, which maximises the value added of this EU policy response focused on recovery and resilience. Through the individual national recovery plans that Member States needed to develop to tap into the RRF, NGEU can finance, among other projects, investment and reform measures creating national financial instruments. These measures address – to a varying extent – the country-specific recommendations that are relevant to financial instruments. The six selected reform measures range from strengthening capital markets in Slovenia to adopting laws allowing the use of guaranteed loans to improve energy efficiency in Greece. The 13 chosen investment measures, amounting to roughly €13.9 billion, include equity growth instruments for businesses in Bulgaria, financial instruments for digital innovation in Latvia, and guarantees for student loans in France. Eight Member States have not introduced financial instrument measures in their recovery plans, since this is not a requirement. Experts emphasise that the RRF has led to the uptake of some financial instruments, particularly regarding energy efficiency, which was deemed a positive trend. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Thanks to successive Treaty revisions, the European Parliament legislates on an equal footing with the Council. Today, a vast number of policies are decided under the ordinary legislative procedure (Article 294, Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union − TFEU), previously known as co-decision. To adopt legislation, Parliament, representing European Union citizens, and the Council, representing the governments of the EU Member States, have to agree on an identical text. This requires time and negotiation. The complexity of the EU legislative process has sometimes been criticised as lengthy and subject to gridlock. To overcome this issue, the co-legislators have developed methods of informal contact to speed up the legislative process, while ensuring representativeness and oversight. One of the tools commonly used today are trilogue meetings, defined as 'informal tripartite meetings on legislative proposals between representatives of the Parliament, the Council and the Commission'. Due to the absence of any explicit reference in the Treaties, trilogue began in the early 1990s, on a very informal basis, and evolved over time. In the beginning, the institutions filled the legal void with an informal practice that became progressively formalised over time and resulted, inter alia, in successive modifications of Parliament's Rules of Procedure. These modifications were driven by the need to ensure that trilogue negotiations support the legislative process in Parliament efficiently, while remaining fully transparent and representative. Today, Parliament's Rules of Procedure define the key elements of trilogue: how to conduct negotiations, and how to ensure that both the committee(s) responsible and plenary are fully informed and can exercise their oversight role. Other elements, such as the number and frequency of meetings, and the practical conduct of the negotiations depend on the nature of the legislative file to be negotiated, and thus remain uncodified.

Since the start of Russia's full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine in February 2022, the European Union has provided Ukraine with financial, military and humanitarian support on an unprecedented level. To date, the support to Ukraine from 'Team Europe' – comprising the EU and its Member States – amounts to €143 billion. This support includes macro-financial assistance, financial support through the Ukraine Facility, humanitarian aid and military assistance from Member States and through the European Peace Facility, as well as support to EU Member States hosting Ukrainian refugees. The disbursement of EU payments under the Ukraine Facility is conditional on Ukraine implementing the Ukraine Plan, an ambitious plan for reform and investment drafted by Ukraine's government and endorsed by the EU. The European Commission and the Ukrainian government publish data on the progress of the reforms and on the disbursal of payments. Those data form the basis for a Ukraine Facility Dialogue, which ensures the democratic scrutiny of the EU's support to Ukraine. In addition to the Ukraine Facility, Regulation (EU) 2024/2773 provides for a €18.1 billion EU macro-financial assistance loan for Ukraine as part of a €45 billion G7 loan. Furthermore, a Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism was established, which uses extraordinary revenues originating from Russian sovereign assets immobilised in the G7 member states to repay loans and the associated interest costs. The rights, responsibilities and obligations provided for in the framework agreement under the Ukraine Facility, referred to in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2024/792, will apply to the macro-financial assistance loan in order to ensure seamless political and financial management of both. The European Parliament has repeatedly called for the confiscation of the immobilised Russian sovereign assets as such – instead of just using the extraordinary revenues – to finance further support for Ukraine and the country's reconstruction.

When Donald Trump was elected President of the United States (US) for the second time in 2024, the world knew that tariffs would again be the US trade policy instrument of choice. Two months into his second term, the President announced universal tariffs on aluminium and steel; a month later, on cars and car parts; and on 2 April 2025, reciprocal tariffs ranging from 11 % to 50 % on imports from countries running a trade in goods deficit with the US, and universal tariffs of 10 % on imports from almost all other countries. As the US Congress is working on a long-term budget reconciliation bill, it is unclear whether the US import tariffs are meant as a permanent source of revenue to partly fund tax cuts, to be renewed and extended in that bill, and/or as 'incentives' for bilateral deals. While the latest tariffs may not even mark the last step, the responses to them fall into three categories: China has opted to retaliate; India and Israel have entered into negotiations to reach a deal with President Trump; and the EU has pursued a staged approach of targeted retaliation and openness to negotiation.

On 19 March 2025, the European Commission unveiled its strategy for a savings and investments union with the goal of directing EU households' savings towards productive investments. This policy includes a review of existing EU pension legislation to increase participation in supplementary pensions and recommendations for auto-enrolment pension frameworks. The pan-European pension product (PEPP), introduced in 2019 through a regulation that became applicable in 2022, has only been registered in four Member States. Institutional investors have shown limited interest in this product, and improvements are likely to be the focus of the planned review. Some observers argue that the PEPP is too restrictive for investment product providers in terms of cost and value guarantees. The product may also compete with existing pension savings products. Some Member States suggest establishing an inter-governmental framework as a preliminary test for a cross-border product, with the possibility of developing a model at EU level in a later phase.

This infographic provides insight into the economic performance of Canada and Mexico compared with the European Union (EU) and examines the trade dynamics between them. For 2024, the growth rate for Canada is expected to be at 1.3%, whereas Mexico is at 1.5%. The trend in inflation rates is continuing to decline, with estimates of 4.7% for Mexico and 2.6% for Canada. Overall trade relations between the EU, Canada, and Mexico have shown positive growth over the last two decades. Since 2020, both Canada and Mexico have seen a significant increase in imports and exports with the EU. Cumulatively, the EU member states are Canada's and Mexico's third largest trading partner in goods, representing 8% of their total trade. The other two main trading partners for Canada and Mexico are the US and China, which account for 63% and 9% of goods trade, respectively. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Academic freedom is widely recognised as a fundamental value of contemporary higher education and research, and is often presented as a prerequisite for well-functioning democratic societies. However, in recent years, major concerns have been expressed by various stakeholders about the state of academic freedom in the European Union. The European Parliament launched an annual EP Academic Freedom Monitor in 2022, to help improve the promotion and protection of academic freedom in the European Union. This report presents one of the two studies conducted in the 2024 edition. This study firstly provides an overview of the constitutional legal provisions of academic freedom across all EU Member States. Secondly, it provides an in-depth analysis of the legal protection of academic freedom in four EU Member Stats. Thirdly, it explores the Union's scope of action on academic freedom protection at EU level. On the basis of both studies, this report proposes EU-level policy options for possible legislative and non-legislative initiatives to support academic freedom in the EU.

Greece was among the first four EU Member States to submit its national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) in April 2021. Since then, Greece has modified its plan in December 2023, adding a REPowerEU chapter and expanding its loan programme, and in July and December 2024, introducing smaller targeted revisions. The Greek plan now envisages investment and reforms worth €35.9 billion, to be implemented up to 2026; €18.2 billion will be financed from non-repayable financial support (grants), while the loans amount to €17.7 billion. The plan corresponds to 4.8 % of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), and represents 19.6 % of Greece's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). This is the fifth largest national allocation and the highest amount as a share of national GDP across the EU. The five-pillar Greek plan addresses the country's specific challenges, and also contributes to EU priorities such as the green transition and digital transformation, allocating 38.2 % and 21.6 % to the respective targets. Greece has so far received €18.2 billion (50.7 % of its total allocation) in the form of pre-financing (€4 billion), and four payments each for grants and loans. Another five disbursements for grants and loans (with the next one expected in spring 2025) are envisaged up to 2026 on fulfilment of the agreed milestones and targets, of which Greece has achieved 27 %. The European Parliament, which supported an EU recovery instrument from the start of the pandemic, is involved through a regular, structured dialogue with the European Commission and the Council, and is competent to scrutinise RRF implementation. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Third edition. The authors would like to thank Amalia Fumagalli, trainee in the Next Generation EU Monitoring Service, for her research assistance.

Following the United Kingdom's referendum on its European Union membership, in June 2016, and the UK's decision to leave the EU, a Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) was signed between the EU and the UK, in 2020. The TCA, in force since 2021, provides the framework for relations between the EU and the UK. In 2025, the European Parliament will adopt – as it did in 2023 – a report on the implementation of the TCA, this time covering the period between January and December 2024. The report will follow the European Commission's presentation of its own implementation reports of 2024 and 2025. In August 2023, the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) published a European Implementation Assessment (EIA) study on 'The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement two years on: Unpacking early evidence', analysing the early outcomes and benefits, risks and challenges in the TCA's implementation. The EIA supported the joint implementation report on the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement by the Committees on Foreign Affairs (AFET) and on International Trade (INTA) (2022/2188(INI)). Following the approval of the joint request from AFET and INTA to draft a second report evaluating the implementation of the EU-UK TCA (2024/2108(INI)), this briefing draws on and complements the findings of the EIA published in 2023. It provides an update of key developments, specifically on the work of the Partnership Council, the Trade Partnership Committee and specialised committees, EU-UK agri-food trade and a potential sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement, the UK's possible accession to the PEM Convention, and mutual recognition of standards and qualifications. The briefing notes that, while the institutional structures established under the TCA are functioning and technical progress has been achieved, implementation remains uneven. Persistent tensions have been present in areas such as fisheries, SPS measures, rules of origin, labour mobility, and mutual recognition of qualifications. In the context of the upcoming review of the TCA in 2026, some committees have engaged in forward-looking discussions. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
