C’est le choc depuis la révélation d’une enquête ouverte à Toulon pour « traite d’êtres humains ». Une famille est accusée d’avoir assassiné deux militaires du Pacifique et d’avoir séquestré 7 autres personnes dans le sud de la France. Parmi les victimes, le légionnaire polynésien Mike Gineste. Sa voisine témoigne.

Air Tahiti pourra continuer d'assurer les dessertes inter-îles pendant encore un an, soit jusqu'au 30 juin 2027. Une prolongation des deux contrats de délégation de service public, qui devaient prendre fin le 30 juin et le 15 juillet, a été validée par le président du Pays.

Alors que les instances du Tāvini Huiraatira n'avaient encore rien arrêté, la traditionnelle commémoration du 29 juin a pris une tournure électorale inédite. En propulsant publiquement le tandem Antony Géros et Richard Tuheiava vers les sénatoriales de septembre, Oscar Temaru a bousculé son propre camp. Entre le rappel d'un bilan parisien clivant et le sentiment d'une manœuvre politique pour éloigner le président de l'assemblée des affaires locales après la rupture avec Moetai Brotherson, cette annonce sonne comme un pavé dans la mare indépendantiste.

Pour sa première apparition publique depuis son hospitalisation début juin pour insuffisance cardiaque, le leader historique du Tavini Huiraatira, Oscar Temaru, a livré un discours fleuve ce 29 juin 2026 à la stèle de Tavararo. Devant une audience clairsemée, le maire de Faa'a de 81 ans a retracé cinquante ans d'une existence marquée par la répression, la lutte antinucléaire et l'acharnement judiciaire, reliant directement ses bardeaux de santé aux combats politiques de sa vie.

Le journal Var-Matin publie une enquête saisissante sur une famille domiciliée à Fréjus puis à Toulon, qui a été mise en examen pour « traite d’êtres humains ». D’après le quotidien, cette famille ciblait de jeunes militaires français originaires de l’océan Pacifique. Deux d’entre eux, Jacques Pakeso et Mike Gineste, ont disparu en 2022 et en 2023.

In March 2013, the European Commission proposed to revise the air passenger rights framework, addressing both identified shortcomings and relevant rulings of the Court of Justice of the EU.

This briefing assesses the unexploited potential of Directive 2011/24/EU on patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare over the period 2015-2026 and proposes targeted reforms. The analysis focuses on National Contact Points (NCP), prior authorisation, reimbursement, telemedicine, e-prescriptions, European Reference Networks (ERN) and patients’ rights. It finds that the Directive remains legally significant but underused: patient mobility is limited and does not endanger national healthcare systems, yet patients still face fragmented information, complex procedures for prior authorisation and reimbursement, weak interoperability, uneven ERN integration into the national healthcare systems and poor awareness of their rights under EU law.

Deux ans après sa suppression du calendrier des jours fériés par le gouvernement, le 29 juin offre désormais le visage d'une Polynésie à deux vitesses. Entre commerces ouverts ou fermés, jeunes désintéressés et leaders politiques divisés, la célébration du statut de la Polynésie française a perdu de son éclat d'antan, basculant dans une sobre affaire de spécialistes.

Le secteur du bâtiment et travaux publics se porte bien. D’après l’Institut de la statistique de la Polynésie française (ISPF), l’activité du secteur de la construction a continué de croître en 2025 avec une hausse du chiffre d’affaires de 2,1 % sur un an, tirée par le redressement des investissements des entreprises et des ménages.

Cet accord dit de « Nakamal » prévoit que l’Australie apporte un soutien économique accru au Vanuatu, dont la Chine est le principal créancier. « Cela permet à l'Australie d'avoir la certitude qu'il n'y aura pas de base militaire étrangère », affirme le Premier ministre australien. Une signature qui intervient alors que la Nouvelle-Zélande alerte sur des incursions militaires chinoises « persistantes » en Océanie.

This paper analyses the European Union’s (EU) evolving engagement with the Sahel region, with particular attention to the Alliance of Sahelian States – Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. Drawing on interviews with EU officials and external experts, as well as academic and policy literature, this paper examines three interrelated dimensions. Firstly, it reviews the EU’s past approaches to the region since 2011, highlighting how shifting strategic logics, strong Member State influence and limited responsiveness to local political dynamics have shaped EU engagement. Secondly, it assesses the current political and security context in the Sahel. This is characterised by military rule, worsening jihadist violence and a strategic realignment towards non-Western partners, such as Russia, Türkiye and Gulf states, all aspects which influenced the partial rupture with the EU. Finally, it analyses the EU’s recently adopted renewed approach to the Sahel and the challenges of re-engaging in a volatile and competitive geopolitical environment. The paper concludes with policy options for a more pragmatic and differentiated EU engagement in the region, emphasising the need for flexible policies, connecting with the populations and lowered ambitions.

Agenda items will likely include defence planning, spending targets, burden-sharing, and support for Ukraine. The summit will consist of a formal leaders' meeting and a parallel defence industry forum. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Migrant smugglers play a pivotal role in irregular border crossings into the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK). The UK has experienced a significant rise in small boat crossings across the English Channel since 2020, prompting the British government to develop measures to address this new form of irregular migration. However, the UK's withdrawal from the EU (Brexit) in 2020 has complicated efforts to manage these crossings. The UK no longer has access to EU migration and asylum databases nor can it return asylum seekers to other EU countries without mutual agreement. While the EU has seen a decline in asylum applications between 2023 and 2025, the UK has not experienced a comparable decrease. The increase in small boat arrivals is attributed to several factors, including Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, heightened border controls, and the commercialisation of the small boat route. These crossings have become the primary recorded method of irregular entry since 2020, accounting for 89 % of detected arrivals by 2025. This has sparked intense public and political debate and prompted calls for stricter measures. The UK government has introduced various measures to combat migrant smuggling, ranging from closer cooperation with some of the most affected EU countries, in particular France and Belgium, to funding for enhanced border controls and law enforcement cooperation. It has also launched initiatives such as the controversial Rwanda scheme. However, the effectiveness of these measures remains questionable, with critics arguing that they do not address the root causes of migration and may even exacerbate the risks for migrants. The situation highlights the complex challenges of managing irregular migration in the post-Brexit era while seeking comprehensive and humane solutions that address both the immediate and underlying causes, including through access to more legal pathways into the EU and the UK.

Labelling is intended to help consumers make informed choices about the food and beverages they consume. In the EU, food information is primarily governed by Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. Yet alcoholic beverages remain partly exempt from standard labelling requirements, despite alcohol being linked to more than 200 health conditions and causing 656 deaths daily across the EU, which also has some of the world's highest consumption levels, with 77 % of adults consuming alcohol. Alcohol is also a major factor in injuries, road deaths, and premature mortality. Despite these risks, EU labelling rules remain limited. Ingredient lists and full nutrition declarations are mandatory only for wine. Other alcoholic beverages – above 1.2 % alcohol – are exempt. Some information, such as alcohol strength and certain allergens, must be displayed, but broader transparency is often voluntary or provided digitally. Recent reforms for wine require ingredient and nutrition information, partly via QR codes, signalling a shift toward greater disclosure. The World Health Organization advocates mandatory, standardised health warnings, including cancer risk information, to improve consumer awareness and reduce harmful consumption. Evidence suggests such labels can influence behaviour, though impacts vary depending on design and context. Calorie labelling is generally supported by consumers but shows mixed effects on purchasing and consumption. National approaches differ, with only a few EU countries mandating health warnings. Ireland is set to become the first country in the EU to require cancer warnings on labels from September 2028. Industry-led self-regulation has improved information availability, particularly for beer and spirits, but remains inconsistent. Overall, clearer labelling – combined with broader policy measures – can play a meaningful role in reducing alcohol-related harm, but stronger, harmonised EU action is still needed. This is an update of a briefing originally published in May 2025. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

The withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the EU has had a profound impact on fisheries relations in the North-East Atlantic. One of the most significant changes is the gradual transfer of EU fishing rights to the UK. This transfer is outlined in the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, which spanned the five years from 2021 to 2025, and is considered to represent 25 % of the value of the former EU27 landings from UK waters. We compare the fishing opportunities available to the EU in 2025 and 2026 — the first two years in which the transfer of fishing quotas was fully completed — with the theoretical quotas that would apply if the transfer of quotas had not taken place. In terms of volume, the pelagic species of herring and mackerel are most affected. In terms of value, demersal species, such as sole and Norway lobster, account for significant EU losses. As each Member State has a specific share of each stock, the loss of quota affects them to varying degrees. The transfer affects 13 Member States, but just seven bear almost the entire burden. A special case is north-east Atlantic mackerel, which is shared with several third countries. Since Brexit, the EU is no longer part of a quota-sharing agreement for this species. The sum of the fishing quotas set by all parties exceeds the scientifically recommended level, which is causing the stock to decline. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

The World Health Organization (WHO) has had a central role in numerous health advances, including eradicating smallpox, driving the near‑eradication of polio, expanding childhood immunisation worldwide, and leading responses to global health threats such as HIV/AIDS and COVID‑19. Despite this, the United Nations (UN) specialised agency has faced persistent challenges, shortcomings and criticisms over decades. The agency has been limited by volatile, insufficient and distorted funding. Its complex governance and limited authority, compounded by political pressure, also compromise the agency's ability to carry out its mandate effectively. In addition, misinformation and disinformation have been obstructing the WHO's action. To address its systemic weaknesses and increase its capacity to overcome evolving challenges, the WHO launched its Transformation Agenda – an ambitious organisational change plan – in 2017. Although the WHO has successfully implemented many actions under its Transformation Agenda, owing to persistent structural weaknesses and newly arising challenges, the agency is still at a critical juncture. The second half of the 2020s is especially difficult for the agency. Following the United States' (US) withdrawal from the WHO, which was initiated in January 2025 and precipitated a sudden US$1.3 billion shortfall, 25 % staff reductions, loss of expertise and programme suspensions, historical vulnerabilities are now amplified to unprecedented levels. Moreover, declining investments in development assistance, including its health component, further intensify the financial pressure. The EU and the WHO enjoy a long-lasting strategic partnership. The EU supports the WHO's Transformation Agenda and contributes to a wide range of WHO programmes, focusing on areas such as UHC, strengthening health systems worldwide, health security, antimicrobial resistance, and enhancing laboratory capacities in Africa. Through its resolutions, the European Parliament has repeatedly expressed its strong support for the agency and called on the Commission and the EU Member States to comply with different WHO measures, initiatives and guidelines. Parliament supports the EU in seeking official observer status at the WHO. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP
