Recent surveys suggest that there is a growing interest among consumers in being informed about the environmental impact of the fishery products they buy. The sustainable exploitation of fish resources is one of the main objectives of the common fisheries policy (CFP). Its implementation is supported by several pieces of legislation, in particular measures on fisheries control and traceability. The information consumers receive on fishery products is mainly based on the general EU consumer protection legislation and complemented by additional provisions under the CFP. There are, however, control and information gaps, which arise mainly from three issues: different labelling rules for fresh and prepared fishery products; different control levels in Member States; and potentially different standards for imported products. In a number of resolutions, the European Parliament has identified shortcomings and suggested solutions. Several ongoing policy initiatives could help to bridge the gap between consumer expectations and actual product traceability. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Ce document s’intègre dans une série d’études qui, avec une perspective de droit comparé, visent à faire une présentation du principe de protection de l’environnement dans différents ordres juridiques. Après avoir expliqué le droit positif et la jurisprudence d’application, le contenu, les limites et la possible évolution de ce principe sont examinés. La présente étude a pour objet le cas de la Belgique. Dans le cadre d’une politique d’utilisation durable de l’environnement, objectif d’ordre constitutionnel, le droit est amené à jouer un rôle primordial, en ce qu’il attache une force contraignante à des objectifs de conservation et en ce qu’il détermine les moyens pour les réaliser. Tout l’enjeu est d’ajuster les règles en vue d’atteindre les objectifs fixés par le législateur. La consécration dans la Constitution belge d’un droit à un environnement sain constitua indéniablement une avancée. Si ce droit n’est pas directement applicable, il influence néanmoins les conditions liées à l’intérêt à agir ainsi que la mise en balance des intérêts. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

The €650 billion Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) finances reform and investment measures in EU Member States until 2026 to mitigate the socio-economic upshots of the pandemic and foster the twin transitions. Article 10 of the RRF Regulation sets out conditions for commitment and payment suspensions based on the macroeconomic position of Member States. In cases where the public finances of EU countries are not in line with the EU economic governance framework and Member States do not make any credible efforts to correct macroeconomic imbalances, the European Commission may propose the enactment of RRF suspensions to the Council. Any suspension would stop the countries concerned from benefiting in full and on time from RRF grants and loans. The Commission has not proposed any such suspension so far.

Manuel Valls a atterri mardi 15 juillet à Tahiti pour une visite de sept jours. L'ancien premier ministre de Francois Hollande et Ministre des Outre-mer du gouvernement Bayrou a eu droit à un accueil protocolaire agrémenté de Tiare, comme le veut la coutume. Il a prévu de se rendre aux Marquises, aux Tuamotu ainsi qu'aux Australes.

Avec l'accord de Bougival signé le 12 juillet, la Nouvelle-Calédonie devient un État souverain intégré à la France. Un statut « innovant » qui aurait pu inspirer les indépendantistes Polynésiens. Mais ces derniers sont plutôt mitigés et considèrent cette révision constitutionnelle « ambiguë » et « loin d'être acquise » dans ce contexte d'instabilité politique.

Le ministre des Outre-mer arrive mardi 15 juillet au soir en Polynésie pour une tournée dans les archipels. Une visite très attendue, notamment sur la lutte contre l’ice, les projets environnementaux et les grands chantiers communaux.

Ce mardi 15 juillet à 20h, Polynésie la 1ère vous donne rendez-vous en direct de la place Tu Vavau pour la 6e soirée de concours du Heiva i Tahiti. Au programme : les prestations très attendues de Tamarii Faanui (Himene) et Tamarii Hitia (Ote'a).

Dans le secteur du commerce, plusieurs syndicats menacent de déposer un préavis de grève. En cause : un avenant à la convention sectorielle, signé le 17 décembre 2024 par une déléguée d’Otahi, qui limite la prise en charge des jours de carence.

En pleine visite ministérielle, la FRAAP pourrait mettre à exécution sa menace de grève générale, puisqu'elle a déposé un préavis qui court jusqu'à jeudi à minuit. Ce soir, la Fédération doit être reçue par le gouvernement.

Près de 700 kg de cocaïne et surtout 200 kg d'ice ont été saisis par les douanes et la gendarmerie sur un voilier en provenance du Mexique, révèlent nos confrères de TNTV.

Une protection policière a été proposée par le gouvernement à tous les élus signataires de l'accord sur la Nouvelle-Calédonie, menacés de mort, pour leur retour sur le territoire, a appris France Inter ce mardi auprès de sources gouvernementales.

C'est un projet qui voit enfin le jour : les rotations maritimes entre Taiarapu et Papeete ont officiellement débuté aujourd'hui avec la compagnie Apetahi Express. Pour le lancement de son tout premier trajet ce matin, la population avait rendez-vous au quai de Faratea pour un départ à 5h et une traversée d'1h15 minutes environ, entièrement gratuite pour cette première journée.

In the past decade, continuous migration and asylum pressure on European Union Member States has made the external dimension of the EU's approach to migration management all the more important. The need to address challenges relating to external border management has reoriented EU migration policy towards extended and stricter border controls, combined with the externalisation of migration management through cooperation with third countries. Thus, the external processing of asylum claims has also been put forward as a possibility. Overall, asylum is governed by international, EU and national laws. Both EU and national asylum legislation must be aligned with the international legal framework. Although EU law does not provide for the processing of asylum applications outside the EU, the idea of 'transit' or 'processing' centres in third countries has been recurrent over the years. Examples of externalisation procedures can be found around the world. Some non-EU countries, such as Australia and the United States, have practical experience of the extra-territorial processing of asylum claims. Within Europe, back in 1986 Denmark tabled a draft resolution in the United Nations (UN) General Assembly to create UN centres where asylum claims could be processed, in order to coordinate the resettlement of refugees among all states. Later, in 2001 and 2002, when the EU experienced the first peak of migrant arrivals in the EU, this was followed by a series of proposals involving the external processing of asylum requests. Extraterritorial processing was first put forward by the United Kingdom in 2003, while Germany proposed the establishment of asylum centres in North Africa in 2005. The series of proposals made over the years with a view to externalising migration policies have raised concerns, not least in relation to the human rights implications, asylum procedures and EU and international law.

Portugal is set to receive €22.2 billion in grants and loans from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the EU response to the crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. This amount corresponds to 3.1 % of the entire RRF, or 10.7 % of Portugal's 2019 gross domestic product (GDP), and includes REPowerEU grants (€0.7 billion) and Portugal's share (€81.4 million) from the Brexit Adjustment Reserve. The Council approved the latest revision of Portugal's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) in May 2025. The plan has a strong focus on the country's social, economic and environmental resilience, with measures targeting culture, housing, health, broad social responses, and forest and water management. Measures relating to climate transition, including those on industry decarbonisation and energy efficiency of buildings, account for 39.1 % of the allocation. The contribution to digital objectives represents 21.7 % of the allocation, with measures and reforms aimed at public administration and finances, education and businesses. Portugal has so far received €11.4 billion of RRF resources (51.3 % of the plan), which the Commission disbursed in the form of pre-financing and five grant and loan instalments. Portugal's sixth and seventh payment requests are being assessed. In the context of the 2025 European Semester, the Council has recommended that Portugal accelerate implementation of its plan. The European Parliament has been a major supporter of creating a common EU recovery instrument, and takes part in interinstitutional settings to cooperate, discuss and scrutinise implementation of the Commission's work. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Third edition. The previous editions were written by Henrique Morgado Simões. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans.

Manuel Valls, le ministre des Outre-mer, sera en Polynésie du 15 au 22 juillet. En 6 jours, il se rendra dans presque tous les archipels : Moorea, Rangiroa, Marquises et Australes pour des séquences autour de la protection de l'environnement et des Jeux du Pacifique, notamment.

Le 14 juillet marque la prise de la Bastille, en 1789, date symbolique du début de la Révolution et jour de liberté. Il devient un jour férié en 1880 et offre chaque année, un défilé militaire sur tous les territoires français. A Tahiti, les forces armées et de sécurité se sont concentrées sur l’avenue Pouvanaa a Oopa, sous les yeux du public. Et cette année, un défilé civil a suivi.

Un nouvel accord sur la Nouvelle-Calédonie a été signé il y a quelques jours. Il prévoit l’inscription de ce nouvel Etat dans la Constitution française. C’est inédit, mais qu’est-ce que cela veut dire ? Nos politiciens sont-ils envieux d'un tel accord ?

Du 29 juin au 9 juillet, nos athlètes se sont illustrés à Palau en Micronésie. Au total 142 médailles ont été gagnées dont 72 en or, 41 en argent et 29 en bronze. Tous les regards se tournent désormais vers 2027 car Tahiti compte bien occuper la tête du tableau des médailles à domicile. Hier soir dans notre JT, le président du COPF a livré sa vision des choses.

Actuellement en France, le politologue Semir Al Wardi analyse le nouvel accord politique signé sur la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ce compromis inédit engage indépendantistes et loyalistes vers un État souverain intégré à la France. L’universitaire met en lumière l’audace et la nouveauté du texte. Il éclaire aussi les implications pour la Polynésie française.

After more than two decades of negotiations, the EU and Mercosur reached an initial agreement text (EUMETA) in 2019. Since then, however, several political developments - most notably the increase in deforestation rates in Brazil under President Bolsonaro - have called for further negotiations. Concerns over sustainability led the EU to demand additional commitments and to adopt unilateral instruments, such as the Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR), which Mercosur perceived as undermining the benefits of the EUMETA 2019. At the same time, escalating geopolitical and economic tensions underscored the strategic importance for trade agreements. The revised EUMETA 2024 presents a balanced compromise: the EU secures strengthened sustainability provisions and protection against potential export duties, while Mercosur gains some linkages to EU unilateral measures on sustainability. These include the possibility of benefiting from risk classification for the EUDR, amendments to the tariff elimination schedule for vehicles, specific safeguards, and options for export duties for selected minerals. Agricultural market access remains largely consistent with EUMETA 2019, with only modest additional quotas for Paraguay. By incorporating multiple protection mechanisms and aligning with complementary EU sustainability policies, EUMETA 2024 aims to address European concerns related to deforestation and competition risks.

Both women and men with disabilities face inequalities because of their disability, but their experiences differ depending on their gender. The situation of women with disabilities is tough. They are worse off than women without disabilities and face more challenges than their male peers because of gender stereotypes that push women and men into traditional roles. Women and girls with disabilities face multifaceted discrimination due to both gender-based and disability-related barriers, affecting their access to education, employment, healthcare, and social participation. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Istanbul Convention, acknowledge the intersectional discrimination faced by women with disabilities. Likewise, the EU has responded through strategies like the European disability strategy (2021-2030) and the gender equality strategy (2020-2025), which promote inclusive, gender-sensitive policies. Legislative initiatives include the 2016 European Accessibility Act, the 2019 work-life balance directive, and the 2024 directive on violence against women. The European Parliament has consistently supported the rights of women with disabilities. Since the 1980s, it has adopted various resolutions addressing their systemic marginalisation and calling for intersectional approaches in EU policymaking. Recent actions include advocating for the recognition of gender-based violence as an EU crime and supporting the full implementation of the Istanbul Convention. The Parliament also highlights the need for targeted social, educational, and healthcare measures, reaffirming its commitment to ensuring equal rights and social participation for women with disabilities across the EU.

Denmark's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) corresponds to 0.2 % of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), or 0.5 % of Denmark's 2019 gross domestic product (GDP). The third and latest revision of the Danish NRRP was approved by Council on 8 July 2025. The EU financial contribution totals €1 625.9 million, including RRF grants (€1 429 million), a REPowerEU grant (€130.7 million) and a transfer of part of the Danish allocation under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve to the plan (€66.0 million). Denmark has so far received 67.2 % of the NRRP resources in the form of pre-financing and three payments; this is well above the current EU average (48.8 %). A further two payments will depend on progress made in implementing the plan. The amended plan reinforces green initiatives and seeks to enhance the resilience of the Danish economy and society, devoting 69 % of the plan to the green transition (up from 59 % in the original plan). In its 2025 country report, the Commission assessed the implementation of the Danish plan as 'well under way'. The European Parliament participates in interinstitutional forums for cooperation and discussion on NRRP implementation and scrutinises the Commission's work.

In absolute figures, Italy's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) is the largest national plan under the Next Generation EU (NGEU) instrument. It is endowed with EU resources worth €71.8 billion in grants and €122.6 billion in loans, jointly representing 26.1 % of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), or 10.8 % of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU 27 GDP in 2019). Launched in 2021, the plan underwent five revisions, of which the most extensive was in December 2023 (to add an energy-focused REPowerEU chapter) and the latest in June 2025. The €194.4 billion allocation finances a vast programme of reforms and investment that aim to promote economic recovery, while addressing several structural weaknesses and pursuing major objectives such as the green and digital transitions. Italy has so far received 62.8 % of the resources (€122.2 billion in pre-financing and six payments for both grants and loans); this is well above the EU average (48.8 %). The seventh payment is expected to be disbursed soon. Another three payments will depend on further progress in implementation. By February 2025, Italy had spent €65.7 billion or 33.8 % of the EU resources available for its NRRP, which suggests that the period through to the August 2026 deadline will be crucial to ensure full implementation, not least of its investment measures. A major advocate of creating a common EU recovery instrument, the European Parliament participates in interinstitutional forums for cooperation and discussion on its implementation and scrutinises the European Commission's work.

The European Parliament's July 2025 plenary session featured a debate on Parliament's expectations for the EU's post-2027 long-term budget ahead of the Commission's proposal. Denmark's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen presented the programme of activities of the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU, which began on 1 July 2025. Members then discussed the conclusions of the 26 June European Council meeting with António Costa, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. Members also considered and voted to reject a motion of censure of the Commission. Roberta Metsola, President of Parliament, made a statement commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. Debates on external policy addressed, among other things, EU-China relations; EU-US trade negotiations; the situation in the Middle East; and the Democratic Republic of the Congo-Rwanda peace agreement. Debates also covered post-2027 common agricultural policy; the chemicals package, the European Media Freedom Act, revision of the European Climate Law, and preparedness for wildfires and drought.

The EU's automotive sector is resource intensive. There are 286 million motor vehicles on the road in the EU, and every year around 6.5 million vehicles become waste. If improperly managed, these vehicles may cause environmental damage and the economy may lose millions of tonnes of materials. In July 2023, the European Commission presented a proposal for a regulation addressing the whole life cycle of vehicles, from design to end-of-life, aimed at improving design and end-of-life management of vehicles for a more resource-efficient automotive sector. It would set circularity requirements on vehicle design and production concerning reusability, recyclability, recoverability and the use of recycled content. It would also lay down requirements on information and labelling of parts, components and materials in vehicles. In addition, the proposed regulation would establish requirements on extended producer responsibility, collection and treatment of end-of-life vehicles, and on the export of used vehicles from the EU to third countries. The proposal is now in the hands of the co-legislators. In the European Parliament, the Committees on the Environment, Climate and Food Safety (ENVI) and Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) are jointly responsible for the file. The Council adopted its position on 17 June 2025. The joint committee adopted its report on 7 July and the Parliament is expected to adopt its position during the September 2025 plenary session.
