The SDGs are 17 interconnected and indivisible goals, each with a series of specific targets, agreed by the United Nations in 2015 and to be attained by 2030. Both developed and developing countries committed to the SDGs, which address the multiple causes and consequences of environmental depletion and social inequalities. The European Union has been a leader in drafting the SDGs; it is also a frontrunner in mainstreaming the SDGs in all its policies. This topical digest features the main EPRS publications linked to the SDGs that will be the focus of the 2026 United Nations High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), namely: 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry Innovation and Infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). These and other analyses are available on the European Parliament's Think Tank pages. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Interrogée par Cybèle Plichart, elle a abordé les sujets de la réglementation des restrictions de pêche au fenua, mais aussi les énergies renouvelables, autant de sujets que la représentante du gouvernement souhaite prendre en tant qu’exemple pour le développement d’une stratégie globale pour les outremers.

Hybrid threats against the EU have increased significantly in both frequency and sophistication, creating complex challenges for European security, democratic institutions and societal resilience. Malicious state and non-state actors combine political, economic, cyber, information and military tools to exploit vulnerabilities, undermine public trust and destabilise societies, while remaining below the threshold of armed conflict. The EU and its Member States have gradually transformed their understanding of hybrid threats into concrete policies, operational capabilities and coordinated response mechanisms. The EU approach combines preventive, protective and reactive measures, including intelligence cooperation, protection of critical infrastructure, sanctions regimes, resilience building and strategic communication. Recent incidents involving cyber-attacks, disinformation campaigns and EU airspace violations have further accelerated the development of EU-level instruments designed to detect, deter and respond to these malign activities. As security challenges increasingly overlap across civilian and military domains, the EU and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) aim to ensure complementarity between the EU's regulatory and civilian tools and NATO's defence and military capabilities through improving coordination and enhancing situational awareness. The European Parliament emphasises that hybrid threats, mainly from Russia, China and Belarus, represent an escalating security challenge for the EU, and calls for a comprehensive EU response, stronger EU–NATO coordination, enhanced resilience and civil preparedness, targeted countermeasures, and closer cooperation with partner countries.

This Briefing critically analyses the new EU Anti-Racism Strategy 2026-2030 (the Strategy) which was launched by the European Commission in January 2026. The Briefing situates the Strategy within the landscape of the existing EU anti-racism infrastructure including the primary and secondary legislation, case law, and other policy initiatives and efforts to combat racism, including the Strategy’s precursor, the EU Anti-Racism Action Plan 2020-2025 (the Plan). The Briefing shows that the EU’s anti-racism infrastructure, especially the Council Directive 2000/43/EC of 29 June 2000 implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin, commonly known as the ‘Racial Equality Directive’, is robust in principle. Yet, it is underutilised and ultimately ineffective. The low rates of litigation under the Racial Equality Directive at the CJEU are evidence of its underutilisation. The high rates of existing levels of racism across EU Member States, such as recorded in successive FRA reports, evidence its ineffectiveness. It is against this backdrop that the Strategy, and previously the Plan, were adopted. The Plan was meant to be a ‘step up’ in the EU’s fight against racism. The immediate impetus for the adoption of the Plan came from the global Black Lives Matter protests following George Floyd’s death in the US. The Plan sought to address racism comprehensively and at all levels including individual, structural, and the EU’s internal – institutional – level. While the Plan covered much ground, it prioritised coverage and scale over precision and ambition. That is, the Plan lacked a precise normative framework of both racism and anti-racism; and at the same time lacked ambition by failing to identify benchmarks for improvement against which the impact of anti-racism measures could be tested. The Strategy which succeeds the Plan marks not only a semantic, but a more deliberate and determined, shift in the Commission’s approach to anti-racism. In particular, the Strategy is defined by three normative shifts: the adoption of an economic rationale for anti-racism; the shift in focus towards structural racism; and the centring of participation and partnerships in the fight against racism. These shifts are accompanied by a range of measures reinforcing the need to strengthen monitoring, enforcement, and implementation of law and policy against racism in the EU. Together, both the normative and operational aspects of the Strategy may be considered more ambitious than the Plan. Yet, the Strategy leaves significant gaps, both normatively and operationally. The success of the Strategy will depend not on how well it is executed but whether it is able to surmount the challenges posed by these gaps. These include: (i) the development of a working definition of structural racism which exceeds belief, ideology, and animus; (ii) the coordination of EU anti-racism measures across all forms of racism, all forms of discrimination, and all other issues facing the EU; (iii) the development of a common approach to intersectionality which defines and operationalises the concept at the same time; (iv) the development of a legal framework for addressing the alarming rise of xenophobia and xenophobic discrimination; (v) the prioritisation of the voices of racially disadvantaged individuals and groups; (vi) the adoption of the Horizontal Equal Treatment Directive; and (vii) the formulation of more ambitious and comprehensive programmatic approach to positive action measures for addressing racial disadvantage.

Ireland holds the Presidency of the Council of the EU as of 1 July 2026, following Cyprus and preceding Lithuania. Ireland’s gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, at 99.8 thousand PPS, represents 237 % of the EU’s total GDP per capita, while its gross national income (GNI), at 67 thousand PPS, is just two thirds of GDP. Ireland’s GDP decreased by 12.1 % in first quarter 2026. Ireland’s trade in services with the world is much more significant than its trade in goods. Ireland is in the top five EU Member States on research and innovation. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Ireland is a parliamentary democracy with a bicameral parliament known as the Oireachtas. The Irish Parliament consists of the President of Ireland (Head of State) and two Houses: Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives) and Seanad Éireann (the Senate). The President is directly elected but mainly has a ceremonial role. They can convene a meeting of either House of the Oireachtas in order to solve a dispute or address a national emergency, and can dissolve the Dáil to facilitate a general election (on the advice of the head of government who must have a majority in the Dáil). They can also refer a bill to the Supreme Court for a judgment on its compliance with the Constitution. This briefing is part of an EPRS series on national parliaments and EU affairs. It offers an overview of the way the EU Member States' national parliaments are structured and how they process, scrutinise and engage with EU legislation. It also refers to relevant publications by national parliaments. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

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 ».

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.

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.
