La ministre déléguée chargée de la Mer et de la Pêche, Catherine Chabaud, se rend en visite officielle en Polynésie française du vendredi 26 juin au mercredi 2 juillet pour rencontrer les acteurs du secteur maritime et de la préservation de la biodiversité marine.

The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) establishes a broad but residual framework for crypto-assets not already covered by existing EU financial legislation, combining rules for stablecoins with a wider regime for crypto-asset service providers. By contrast, the US GENIUS Act focuses specifically on payment stablecoins, establishing rules on issuance, reserve backing and supervision within the existing US regulatory structure. This briefing compares both frameworks, examining their approaches to classification, supervision, AML/CFT and regulatory coordination, while also considering selected implications for financial stability and monetary sovereignty. It argues that the main difference between the two models lies less in their treatment of stablecoins themselves than in how they organise the relationship between digital assets, existing financial law and supervisory structures. More generally, the comparison illustrates how digital asset regulation is progressively moving from experimentation towards integration into existing financial and regulatory systems.

Global health threats are becoming more frequent and severe. As the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted, they can quickly turn into emergencies, heavily impact human health, and paralyse economic, cultural and societal activities globally. Therefore, health security is a global challenge.In this context, and in the light of lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU has substantially strengthened its toolbox to prevent, prepare for and respond to health threats. Its toolbox consists of legislative measures – in particular, the Regulation on the prevention, preparedness and response to serious cross-border health threats, the EU Health Emergency Regulation, reinforced roles for the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the setting up of the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA). Other tools in the EU health security toolbox include the Union Civil Protection Mechanism; humanitarian assistance in emergencies; research and development in the area of health security; capacity building in the partner countries under the Global Gateway; participation in the Global Health Security Initiative; and co-crafting of international instruments on health security. Moreover, EU action on health security is guided by a number of policy documents. The most recent European Commission communication on reinforcing global health resilience amidst geopolitical change, adopted in May 2026, sets out priority areas through which the EU should contribute to scaling up global prevention, preparedness and response to health threats and to addressing resilience gaps in health systems. Despite significant improvements in health security at the national, regional, EU and global levels, several challenges remain, including limited financing for public and global health and their health security component; the ongoing fragmentation of the global health architecture; and health-related misinformation and disinformation. The European Parliament is a strong supporter of both the internal and external dimensions of EU health policy. It treats the health security component as a key area for strengthening EU action. Through its resolutions, Parliament has expressed its views on the current and future EU action on health security. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Ukraine, competitiveness and global economic challenges, the EU's next budget and the situation in the Middle East were the main discussion points at the 18‑19 June 2026 meeting of the European Council. On Ukraine, EU Heads of State or Government adopted joint conclusions of all 27 Member States for the first time since March 2025, and stressed their determination to increase pressure on Russia – signalling it with the agreement to roll over the sanctions for 12 rather than the previous six months. This was coupled with a marked welcome for the opening of the first negotiation cluster for Ukraine and Moldova, and a sense of new momentum on enlargement, also for the countries of the Western Balkans. Regarding competitiveness and global economic imbalances, EU leaders requested the Commission sharpen the EU's trade defence tool box and possibly complement it with new instruments, thereby pursuing a path of diversification and de-risking of the EU's trade relationships. The discussion on the next multiannual financial framework was seen as a step towards an agreement by the end of 2026, with the incoming Irish Presidency being called on to present a revised negotiation box for the October meeting; in parallel, further work will be carried out on options for new own resources. Regarding the situation in the Middle East, the European Council welcomed the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, but expressed serious concern about the situation in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank. Other topics mentioned in the conclusions were Ebola, Armenia, upholding international law, and Islands and coastal communities. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Food security is crucial for human existence and health. It guarantees development and peaceful livelihoods, and stabilises societies. Factors impacting food security, their triggers, and consequences are affected by inter-related political, economic, social, geopolitical, and environmental dimensions. This makes agri-food systems – food production, processing, marketing and consumption – important elements of societies and international relations. With over 20 % of the EU’s population at risk of poverty or social exclusion and 8.5 % unable to afford a meal with meat, chicken or fish (or equivalent) at least every second day in 2025, it is essential to understand EU agri-food systems and the multidimensionality of EU food security. Examining how food security can be leveraged to combat inequality and socio-economic instability, thereby improving the well-being of EU citizens and residents, is as important as evaluating the macroeconomic and state level dimensions of the EU’s agri-food industry. The analysis of its environmental impact and vulnerability to climate shocks provides further important insights into the agricultural potential and resilience of the EU.

This briefing examines the implementation of the EU Energy Labelling Framework and the related Tyre Labelling Regulation in the context of the wider simplification agenda of the Commission for 2026 and the omnibus on energy-product legislation expected on 24 June 2026. Energy labelling remains an important instrument for enabling consumers to compare products, supporting energy savings, and encouraging innovation in more efficient products. Available evidence suggests that EU action has contributed effectively to the objectives of the policy. However, implementation has been weakened by delays in updating product-specific rules and labels, persistent non-compliance by manufacturers and retailers, and uneven enforcement, particularly in online sales and for products imported from third countries. Key issues include reducing unnecessary administrative burden while preserving consumer trust in labels; improving the usability and interoperability of the energy-product database; clarifying responsibilities across the supply chain, including for retailers, online marketplaces, importers and installers; and ensuring that label rescaling is timely, predictable and understandable for consumers. Stakeholder views point to a need for simplification that improves compliance and usability without weakening the visibility, comparability and enforceability of energy information at the point of purchase.

EU support for the implementation of Slovenia's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) amounts to €2 082.4 million, and includes €1 613 million in grants and €469 million in loans. This amount is €400 million lower than that initially approved, and takes into account the June 2022 update of the maximum financial contribution from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the non-repayable allocation for REPowerEU made available in 2023, as well as the latest April 2026 revision that decommitted part of the loans. At the end of May 2026, Slovenia requested a new revision. While the overall allocation is only 0.3 % of the total RRF, it stood at 4.3 % of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP). So far, Slovenia has received €1 769.1 million (€1 303.3 million in grants and €465.8 million in loans) in pre-financing and five payments covering seven instalments linked to the achievement of 107 milestones and targets. The total amount paid out to Slovenia equals 85 % of all its RRF funds, with the EU average currently standing at 73.8 %. On 9 June 2026, the European Commission made a preliminary positive assessment of the request for the eighth instalment for grants; funds are yet to be disbursed. The outstanding milestones and targets must be met by 31 August 2026 at the latest. The last payment request covering the ninth grant and fourth loan instalments is to be submitted to the Commission by the end of September 2026. Slovenia's NRRP tackles both the COVID-19 pandemic's socioeconomic consequences and more long-standing challenges identified in the Slovenian development strategy 2030. The plan is strongly focused on the green and digital transitions. Planned spending on these areas meets the compulsory targets, totalling 44.7 % for climate and 24.5 % for digital (25 % excluding the REPowerEU chapter). Investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable mobility have been further reinforced under the new REPowerEU chapter. The European Parliament participates in interinstitutional forums for cooperation and discussion on RRF implementation, and scrutinises the European Commission's work. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Fifth edition. Earlier editions were co-authored by Magdalena Sapała and Velina Lilyanova. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Dans un communiqué, la Procureur de la République fait le point, suite à la bagarre mortelle survenue à Tiarei, dimanche dernier. Le suspect de 14 ans a été mis en examen pour coups mortels et placé sous contrôle judiciaire. Une autopsie a été ordonnée, afin de mieux comprendre les causes du décès de la victime.

Une conférence a été organisée ce mardi dans l'amphithéâtre du CHPF, sur le contrôle coercitif, afin de comprendre et identifier ses conséquences dans le couple et la prise en charge des enfants qui y sont exposés. C'est prendre le contrôle de la vie d’une personne, de ses choix, de ses déplacements ou de ses relations. Une forme de violence insidieuse qui s’installe progressivement au sein d'un couple.

Les opérations électorales qui se sont déroulées le 15 mars 2026 dans la commune de de Rurutu sont annulées. Le tribunal administratif de Papeete a suivi l'avis du rapporteur public, qui avait conclu à de possibles irrégularités, évoquant notamment des pressions alléguées sur des électeurs et des manquements aux règles de campagne.

Le naufragé était porté disparu depuis le 12 juin au large de l’île de Pukapuka, dans le nord des îles Cook. C’est un équipage de l’armée de l’air néo-zélandaise qui l’a repéré à bord de son petit canot en aluminium.

Comprendre et identifier le contrôle coercitif, ses conséquences dans le couple et la prise en charge des enfants qui y sont exposés : c’est ce que proposent Gwenola Joly-Coz, première présidente de la cour d’appel de Papeete, et Maître Guillaume Barbe, avocat au barreau de Paris. Ils donnent une conférence ce mardi après-midi dans l’amphithéâtre de l’UPF, à partir de 16h. Gwenola Joly-Coz était l’invitée café de la matinale, ce mardi.

Dès ce mardi, faire le plein va coûter plus cher : une augmentation de 15 francs par litre a été actée en conseil des ministres, hier. Une décision qui peut sembler étonnante quand les prix à la pompe baissent dans l’Hexagone depuis l’annonce d’un accord entre les États-Unis et l’Iran. Warren Dexter, le ministre des Finances, s’est expliqué ce matin face à la presse.

Eurojust has proven instrumental in enhancing judicial cooperation in criminal matters. Improvements are needed though, as evidenced by the Commission's evaluation and its supporting study. The role and functions of Eurojust governing bodies need to be clarified. Further harmonisation and clarification of applicable regulations at EU and national level may help overcome remaining challenges, such as the clarification of competences between governing bodies. Rules to prioritise cases are also considered necessary to facilitate operational activities. However, regarding technological challenges, legal revision can only provide a partial solution unless specific provisions allow for anticipating and easily adapting to technological developments. Finally, strengthening the operational support and mechanisms for cooperation and coordination between Member States implies financial and human resources. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

This European implementation assessment aims to inform the ongoing work of the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Tax Matters on an own-initiative report (2025/2261(INI)) on the implementation of the VAT reverse charge mechanism (RCM) and quick reaction mechanism (QRM) in EU Member States. The study is composed of two parts. The first part is an introduction by the European Parliamentary Research Service that provides the context, methodology and contribution of the external study to parliamentary and EU policymaking. The second is a comprehensive study undertaken by a team of external experts, assessing the effectiveness of the RCM and QRM in the EU and their impact on administrative burden and compliance costs of tax authorities and businesses. The study is based on desk research, stakeholder consultations, and eight case studies, providing an up-to-date assessment of the mechanism's implementation and impact. The study also identifies lessons learnt and challenges from the implementation of the RCM and QRM across the EU, and offers recommendations in the context of their review and the decision-making process regarding their potential extension beyond the current deadline of 31 December 2026.

Corruption is a major challenge for the European Union (EU), with all its Member States affected by the problem to some extent. The scale of the problem, however, is difficult to measure, both in the EU and elsewhere. Surveys on perception of corruption among citizens and experts – such as the Global Corruption Barometer and Eurobarometer surveys – are the principal measurement tools. Since the 1990s, countries around the world have joined forces to address corruption collectively. This has led to the emergence of widely recognised international laws and standards, adopted in particular by the Council of Europe, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the United Nations. Mechanisms, such as the Council of Europe Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), have been developed to monitor implementation of these rules. The EU has gradually adopted laws addressing a range of corruption-related issues. These include a directive on the fight against fraud to the Union's financial interests, and directives on public procurement, whistleblowers and money-laundering. However, the legal framework thus created remains patchy, a problem that the newly adopted 2026 directive on combating corruption seeks to address, by setting EU-wide minimum rules on corruption offences, sanctions and prevention. The EU also developed its own tool for monitoring anti-corruption efforts – the EU anti-corruption report – only to abandon it after the first edition. Recently, corruption-related issues have been addressed almost exclusively within the EU rule of law framework, a development criticised by various stakeholders, including the European Parliament. The latter has adopted numerous resolutions on corruption addressing, among other things, systemic challenges to the rule of law and deficiencies in the EU's fight against corruption. This briefing updates earlier briefings published in 2023 and 2024, which built on a study by Piotr Bąkowski and Sofija Voronova, published in 2017. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

The taxing of the digital economy remains among the most controversial topics in international tax policy. Although there was political agreement on Pillar One achieved by the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework in 2021, implementation of this proposal has not yet materialised and negotiations within the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation are expected to last until 2027. Lack of a global solution increases the pressure for action at EU level. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

The United States remains a leading global health and life sciences actor, driven by high spending, strong research capacity and a regulatory environment that accelerates innovation. At the same time, the system faces persistent structural challenges, including high costs, fragmented insurance coverage and unequal access. Since the start of President Trump’s second term, federal reforms, budget cuts and institutional restructuring have reshaped the roles of HHS, CDC, NIH and FDA. Reduced engagement with WHO and cuts to USAID have weakened US participation in global health, raising concerns in Europe about global leadership, crisis preparedness and international cooperation.

Digitalisation has powered the shift to a ‘services economy’, and has greatly expanded the cross-border delivery of services, enabling service providers to access markets around the world with little or no local physical presence. Services can now also be produced digitally and supplied automatically, which will expand further with artificial intelligence (AI). Automated digital services (ADSs) can be supplied from the cloud, so that there is no specific location for the place of supply. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP
