Les chefs Tereva Galopin et Teaotearoa Maiarii font le marché de Papeete tous les dimanches pour proposer une carte fraîche, à base de produits locaux. L’occasion de redécouvrir des saveurs oubliées. Ils regrettent l’absence de transmission : les jeunes ne veulent pas reprendre les exploitations. Ajoutés à cela, la raréfaction de cultures vivrières et le vieillissement des cocoteraies : les produits locaux sont de plus en plus rares et chers. Certains produits, sont même voués à disparaître selon eux.

This briefing provides a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in the current 10th parliamentary term (2024-2029) who had held public office at local, regional and/or national level before taking up their mandates (or, in some cases, continue to hold sub-national level public posts). The analysis found that 64 % of MEPs had previously held public office at one or more of these levels before the current term. Their roles included mayors, city councillors, members of regional assemblies, regional ministers, members of national parliaments, national ministers and prime ministers. Specifically, 41 % of MEPs had held office at national level, 37 % at local level and 24 % at regional level. Notably, 23 % had served at two levels of government and 7 % at all three. The average duration of prior experience in these roles is significant: 10 years at local level, 7 years and 8 months at regional level, and 8 years and 5 months at national level. These figures are broadly consistent with those from the 9th parliamentary term (2019-2024), both in the proportion of MEPs with prior office-holding experience and the duration of that experience, which suggests continuity in Parliament's institutional profile. In terms of gender patterns, a higher share of male than female MEPs had held office across all three levels. The gap was relatively small at local and regional level but wider at national level, where 44 % of men had prior experience compared with 35 % of women. Finally, the briefing examines how the share of MEPs with prior office-holding experience varies across parliamentary committees – in which they serve as full members – highlighting variations by policy area and level of government.

The European Union controls the export of dual-use items and technologies that can be utilised for both civilian and military purposes. This stems from international obligations to counter the proliferation of items with potential military use. Entities planning to export these items need to obtain authorisation. These controls are administered and enforced at Member State level. Current Regulation (EU) 2021/821 sets common rules on the control of exports, brokering, technical assistance, transit and transfer of dual-use items. Annex I to the regulation, based on internationally agreed controls, lists the dual-use items requiring export authorisation. The Commission periodically amends the list of dual-use items through a simplified delegated regulation. Apart from this annex, which is binding in all EU Member States, the Commission publishes two other lists of export control measures to be taken by Member States. This parallel system means that the EU lacks a uniform, timely and effective control framework, required more than ever during these times of war on Europe's borders. At the same time, evidence shows that Western dual-use items are still feeding Russia's war machine, and the aggressor is hampering expansion of the scope of multilateral non-proliferation agreements. These factors led the Commission to include in its 2025 Annex I update items Russia prevents from being controlled multilaterally. Many experts consider this move an indication that the EU is consolidating powers in export controls to overcome this obstruction. The European Parliament has until 8 November 2025 to raise any objections to the new annex. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

As part of the EU's long-term budget for the 2028-2034 period, the European Commission did not present a separate fund to support the common fisheries policy (CFP). Instead, as part of a redesign of the EU's long-term budget, support for fisheries, aquaculture and ocean-related activities would be integrated into a single, larger fund that also covers other areas, such as cohesion and agriculture. Consequently, rather than launching a legislative proposal to establish the successor to the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) of the 2021-2027 programming period, the Commission published a shorter, sectoral proposal outlining specific conditions for funding in support of the CFP, the ocean pact and the EU's maritime and aquaculture policy.

Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP) was establised in 2021 to put Europe’s ambition on cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment and quality of life for patients and survivors into practice. It consists of ten flagship initiatives, each supported by EU-funded projects, most of which have already concluded. The EBCP has established important foundations by creating networks, mapping inequalities, and investing in knowledge centres. These achievements now provide a basis to advance cancer research, improve care delivery, and make better use of existing tools. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Increased political polarisation has led to a proliferation of attacks against elected representatives, political candidates and party members. Verbal abuse and insults, harassment, threats and intimidation, as well as smear campaigns against politicians, occur regularly both online and offline, marking a serious degradation in the quality of political debate in the EU. During the 2024 European elections campaign, there were serious incidents in several countries. Nevertheless, acts of physical violence remain isolated and less frequent in the EU than in many other parts of the world. Violence is a risk to which politicians have always been exposed, including in democratic regimes. Organised crime and radicalised individuals or groups resort to violence to promote their political or economic agendas. EU countries have been unevenly affected; violence linked to organised crime has particularly affected certain regions, especially southern Italy, where it has proven difficult to eradicate. By contrast, violence driven by political radicalisation is a more recent phenomenon and increasingly affects all EU countries – albeit to varying degrees – and tends to flare up during periods of heightened tension, such as election campaigns and large-scale public protests. The impact on political debate, free exchange of opinions and compromise-building is profoundly negative. Violence and intimidation pressure politicians to self-censor when addressing politically sensitive issues and, in some cases, to step out of politics altogether. To counter this, several EU countries have adopted preventive and protective measures, including regular data collection. Examples include classifying offences against elected representatives as aggravated offences, simplifying reporting, and providing training, counselling and emergency assistance. Parliaments have also promoted civility and mutual respect in debates through codes of conduct and have established support services such as legal aid, psychological counselling and security assistance.

Housing affordability problems are widespread across the European Union. This in-depth analysis explains how different groups experience these problems in different ways, focusing on younger people, households with children and older people. It does so using a framework mapping housing affordability problems in terms of housing exclusion, housing insecurity, problematic housing costs and housing inadequacy. It critically discusses how demand and supply oriented housing policies, as well as non-housing policies, can address these problems. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

On 19 November 2023, Javier Milei, the self-proclaimed 'anarcho-capitalist' and founder of the La Libertad Avanza party (LLA), won the presidential runoff with a campaign promising to radically reduce the Argentine state debt and reverse the country's persistent structural economic problems. Following his assumption of the presidency on 10 December 2023, Milei has implemented the most ambitious austerity and deregulation programme Argentina has seen this century. At the end of the first half of his term there have been impressive successes on the macroeconomic side (reducing inflation, consolidating the state budget and economic recovery). However, the measures have also had severe social implications. Almost two years after Milei's election victory, the midterm legislative elections taking place on 26 October 2025 are an important litmus test on the acceptance of his radical reform programme and his possible re-election in 2027. The question is whether Milei's LLA party can increase its seats in the bicameral Congress, where it will have to negotiate with the opposition on the implementation of further structural reforms. From the EU perspective, Argentina is particularly important as it is one of the four founding members of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) with which the EU is aiming to conclude the EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement (EMPA). Moreover, Argentina holds vast reserves of critical raw materials which are key for the clean transition of the EU economy and for the EU's strategic autonomy. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

At more than one in five, the number of children at risk of poverty in the European Union (EU) remains high. This year's International Day for the Eradication of Poverty presents an opportunity to take stock of what the EU is doing to fight child poverty. Even though legal competence for child policy remains primarily with the Member States, the fight against child poverty is a major EU priority. The European strategy on the rights of the child now reflects the EU's increasing willingness to tackle child poverty, while the use of European funds is key to success.

The European Union (EU) has developed a complex architecture of information systems to support its policies on external borders, migration management and internal security. In response to recent migration and security challenges, the EU has sought to expand and upgrade its existing information systems on borders and security, and establish new systems and ensure their interconnection (interoperability). The underlying policy goal has been to 'close information gaps' on third-country nationals arriving or staying in the EU, to combat irregular migration and counter security threats more effectively. While the legislative work of updating and expanding EU-wide information systems for borders and security has been swift, the implementation of changes has been more challenging. Following the launch of the revised Schengen information system in March 2023, the new entry/exit system started operations on 12 October 2025. The European travel information and authorisation system (ETIAS) will follow at the end of 2026. This briefing provides an overview of EU-wide information systems for border management and security. It discusses recent developments and presents, where available, key figures on the operation of these systems. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
