The Peace pillar – The European Union (EU) is a long-standing and active partner for peace and governance in Africa, providing both substantial financial and operational support. Cooperation between the EU and Africa in the area of peace and security promotes Africa's ownership – the principle of 'African solutions to African problems' – and recognises the African Union as a central player in this field. EU common security and defence policy missions and operations, together with the European Peace Facility and the Global Europe instrument, back African peace operations, mediation efforts and institutional capacity building. However, this partnership faces increasing challenges from regional fragmentation, shifting alliances, and intensifying geopolitical competition on the continent. This publication is part of a series on the Africa-EU partnership and its four pillars: Prosperity (economy and connectivity; natural resources, health, research and education), Peace (security and governance), People (migration and mobility) and Planet (multilateralism).

On 30 July 2025, the European Commission published a proposal for a European fisheries and aquaculture statistics (EFAS) regulation. The proposed regulation modernises and streamlines the legal framework for EU fisheries and aquaculture statistics by repealing five existing regulations whose provisions date back around 30 years. Aside from providing legal simplification, the proposal expands the statistical coverage, reduces the volume of data flagged as confidential, and addresses data inconsistencies. A significant change is the reuse of information from existing EU databases. This includes the reuse of data on catches, collected as part of the fisheries control system, rather than asking Member States for this information again. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Austria's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) was updated for the second time on 8 July 2025. The plan totals €4 187 million, of which €3 961 million is financed through Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) grants and the difference through national resources. To implement the plan, Austria is leveraging further amounts beyond EU support from the national budget. The Austrian economy has been in a slowdown since the end of the second quarter of 2022. A lack of expansionary impetus both domestically and abroad led to a decline in economic output in 2023 and 2024. According to recent estimates, Austrian gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow slightly (by 0.3 %-0.4 %) in 2025 and by 1.2 % in 2026. In Austria's NRRP, 56 % of EU resources are allocated to the green transition, and 36 % to the digital transformation. The plan includes a significant number of reforms with the potential to support lasting structural changes in other areas, such as the primary healthcare system, less red tape for business, and modernisation of the public administration. By the end of October 2025, Austria had received €2 812 million in pre-financing and two result-based payments, which is above the current EU average (56.4 %). Following a positive assessment, the third payment should be disbursed soon. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Fourth edition. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
