In January 2025, the European Commission announced it would present a European grids package as part of its competitiveness compass for the EU. The intention of building on the 2023 action plan for grids was reiterated in February 2025, in the Clean Industrial Deal and action plan for affordable energy; and most recently as part of the 2026 Commission work programme adopted in October 2025. The Commission is expected to present the grids package on 10 December 2025. Energy prices in the EU remain higher and more volatile than those of its trading partners, reflecting Europe's dependency on imported fossil fuels and the investment uncertainty caused by recent geopolitical shocks. These pressures are intensified by structural inefficiencies in the energy system: insufficient interconnections, ageing grids, long and inconsistent permitting times, and limited support for distribution-level and digital infrastructure – all of which prevent the EU from fully exploiting its renewable generation potential. Despite progress made on cross-border infrastructure projects with the introduction of the Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) framework, large-scale investments to support grid expansion are still needed. In terms of implementation, investment is hampered by complex and fragmented grid planning, requiring heavy coordination across different strategies and stakeholders, as well lengthy permitting processes. In this regard, stakeholder groups call for simpler, clearer and more coordinated governance to ensure cross-border and cross-sector integration. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

At the Versailles Summit in March 2022, EU leaders committed to phasing out Europe's dependency on imported Russian natural gas, oil and coal. EU Member States ceased to import coal from Russia in August 2022, while imports of Russian crude oil dropped from 27 % in 2021 to 3 % of total EU crude oil imports in 2024. However, Russian natural gas still represents a substantial part of total EU gas consumption. The Commission proposed a 'Roadmap towards ending Russian energy imports' on 6 May 2025, aiming at the EU fully ending its dependency on Russian energy, while ensuring stable energy supplies and prices across the EU. A follow-up legislative proposal, published on 17 June 2025, focuses solely on phasing out imports of natural gas and oil from Russia, while imports of Russian nuclear material will be the subject of a separate proposal due to the complexity of supply chains. The proposal introduces legal obligations on Member States and private entities aiming at gradually phasing out pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) originating in or exported directly or indirectly from Russia. It also presents measures to facilitate a complete end to Russian oil imports by the end of 2027. A complete phase out of imports of Russian natural gas is envisaged for 1 January 2028, while imports under short-term contracts should end by 17 June 2026. This is an update a of a briefing published in July 2025. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Quantum technologies are developing rapidly. They have extensive uses in secure communications, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, defence and security, and space, and may bring about a change of paradigm in technological capabilities. Their economic and strategic value makes them a high priority for EU strategic autonomy. The new Quantum Europe Strategy intends to establish the EU as a global leader in quantum technologies by 2030. This paper explores the potential paths the EU can take to establish itself as a global leader in this field. To ensure that the strategy holds in a highly unpredictable world, we have conducted a foresight exercise to 'wind-tunnel' (stress-test) statements taken from the quantum strategy against the European Commission Joint Research Centre's four reference foresight scenarios.

Budget expenditure is approved jointly by the Council and Parliament. The annual EU budget must respect the expenditure ceilings agreed under the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for different headings, i.e. categories of expenditure, such as those on the single market, cohesion and natural resources. Thematic and non-thematic special instruments ensure that the EU can react in the event of unexpected needs. The use of budgetary guarantees and financial instruments creates a leverage effect as regards EU spending. In addition to the MFF, the total EU expenditure for 2021-2027 includes the temporary recovery instrument NextGenerationEU, which will help the EU economy to recover from the COVID-19 crisis.

The integrated maritime policy (IMP) of the EU is a holistic approach to all sea-related EU policies. It is based on the idea that the Union can draw higher returns from its maritime space with less impact on the environment by coordinating its wide range of interlinked activities related to oceans, seas and coasts. Hence, the IMP aims at strengthening the so-called blue economy, encompassing all sea-based economic activities. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Although Norway decided not to join the EU following negative national referendums held in 1972 and 1994, the country has maintained close economic, political, and sectoral relations with the EU for decades, primarily through the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement, and an increasing number of other, mostly bilateral, agreements. The EEA Agreement, in force since 1994, brings together EU Member States and Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein in the single market, and provides for the free movement of people, services, goods and capital. The agreement also covers competition and State aid regulations, horizontal policies such as consumer protection, energy, environment and social policy, as well as flanking policies such as research, education, culture, public health and entrepreneurship. The EU and Norway have developed extensive trade ties. In 2024, Norway was the sixth largest EU trade partner in goods. Norway is one of the EU's key suppliers of oil, gas and electricity and its largest supplier of fish. The EU and Norway also maintain close and robust political relations. They are aligned on the main foreign policy issues and hold foreign policy dialogues. Cooperating under North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) auspices and beyond, they are equally close partners on security and defence. Moreover, although the EEA Agreement excludes justice and home affairs, Norway participates in key aspects of EU cooperation in this area, primarily through the Schengen Agreement. The European Parliament is closely involved in nurturing EU-Norway relations. It sends a delegation to the EEA Joint Parliamentary Committee, holds an annual bilateral interparliamentary meeting with Norway, and meets its Norwegian counterparts in other forums.

Women continue to be under-represented in EU countries at all levels of political decision-making as well as in political parties. The origins of this situation are complex, but one reason stands out: violence against women active in politics discourages many women from entering the political arena. Female politicians are exposed to two severe and intersecting forms of violence: political violence and gender-based violence. Violence against people active in politics, whether men or women, is a major obstacle to the exercise of political rights and freedoms, and a serious violation of basic human rights. Increasing polarisation in liberal societies has led to rising violence against political actors. However, violence against women in politics is more than a symptom of political polarisation. It targets women because they are women, takes sexist and sexualised forms, and seeks to discourage women generally from taking part in political life. Women surveyed tend to consider its impact significant and feel less ready to defend certain positions and to continue their political career. At EU level, ensuring safe participation of women in politics is a priority of gender equality policies. The European Parliament has recognised the seriousness of the phenomenon in numerous resolutions, has adapted its internal rules to prevent sexist and hate speech in its debates, and has established specific mechanisms to deal with harassment.

The EU's temporary protection regime has provided predictability and legal certainty both to displaced people from Ukraine and to the EU Member States. The situation in Ukraine, as a result of Russia's ongoing war of aggression, still requires a common European response. The EU has therefore decided to extend temporary protection for a fifth year, until 4 March 2027, and adopted a coordinated approach to a smooth transition out of temporary protection, when the circumstances allow.
