The impact assessment (IA) identifies four problems relating to slow development and deployment of advanced digital networks in the EU. Relying on the evaluation of the current regulatory framework, the IA discusses the problem drivers, defines specific objectives, and compares and ranks policy options. The objectives are generally well defined. However, the second specific objective refers to closing the high-quality connectivity gap with competing regions without acknowledging that its achievement also depends on developments in those regions. The third specific objective, on increasing pan-European network operation and service provision, is defined in rather generic terms. The policy options seem relevant and sufficiently distinct, although the presentation of the options is not well balanced, with some options discussed in more detail than others. The IA assesses the economic, social and environmental impacts of policy options, although the analysis varies in depth across the problems and options. The costs and benefits for major stakeholders are analysed, including for small and medium-sized enterprises. The preferred options are chosen transparently, and they generally follow the conclusions of the comparative assessments. However, several preferred options could have been justified more effectively. For example, the preferred option for governance has been selected despite ranking second best in the comparison of policy options. Whereas subsidiarity is sufficiently addressed, proportionality is discussed only briefly and selectively. The IA defines a set of indicators and operational objectives to monitor actual impacts. However, some of these indicators are not sufficiently explained, and lack specific targets. The IA makes use of a wealth of data and sources, including feedback from all major stakeholders. The methodology, data and sources are generally explained, although some references are missing or are incomplete. The Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB) issued a 'positive with reservations' opinion on the draft IA after initially issuing a negative opinion. The revised draft appears to have addressed the RSB's comments. The proposal appears generally to follow the preferred policy options identified in the IA. One notable addition in the proposal is the creation of a voluntary conciliation mechanism to facilitate dialogue on technical and commercial arrangements, which was not properly addressed in the IA.

Pump prices in Singapore rose again on Tuesday (March 10), with all fuel companies increasing their posted prices for all petrol grades. Amongst them, Shell raised its prices twice — in the morning and again in the evening. The adjustments come even as oil prices sank back to as low as US$84 on Tuesday, after US President Donald Trump said the war in Iran will «end very soon». This, in spite of Iran saying it would continue to block tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz until US and Israeli attacks end. Checks by AsiaOne on the Consumer Association of Singapore's Price Kaki app at 9pm show that Caltex, Esso and SPC raised their posted prices in the afternoon. This was preceded by Shell, then Sinopec increasing their respective posted prices. Shell carried out a second round of price increases at 6pm the same day. 

A man was arrested for wielding a knife and attacking an auxiliary policeman outside the Geylang Serai Ramadan bazaar on Monday (March 9) night. Dashcam footage of the incident was uploaded to the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page, and has since garnered over 39,000 views. According to the Facebook post, the incident happened along Sims Avenue. In the video, the man is seen approaching the officer from behind and holding him in a headlock. A photo included in the clip shows the man handcuffed behind the back and being led away by three policemen. In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police said that they received calls for assistance at around 9.50pm. Preliminary investigations revealed that a 45-year-old man had allegedly pointed a knife at a male auxiliary police officer. The man was disarmed and subdued by members of the public, said the police. He was arrested for criminal intimidation, and a knife was seized as a case exhibit. Police investigations are ongoing. 

A 50-year-old Chinese national will be charged in court on Wednesday (March 11) for alleged theft onboard an aircraft. The police said in a news release on Tuesday evening that the alleged crime happened onboard a Jakarta-bound flight from Singapore at about 6.20pm on October 2, 2025. Preliminary investigations revealed that the Chinese national had left his assigned seat, walked several rows and allegedly removed a victim's bag, which was stored in the overhead compartment of the aircraft. He then carried the bag back to his seat, rummaged through the contents of the bag, and took cash amounting to $750 and three bank cards from the victim's wallet before returning the bag to its original location. Noticing the man's unusual movement and suspicious behaviour, Muhammad Fariz bin Johari, a cabin crew onboard the flight, alerted the victim to check his belongings. Upon the victim discovering his cash and cards missing, the cabin crew immediately informed the aircraft's captain, who in turn reported the matter to the Indonesian authorities.
