It proposes a novel approach that would introduce new personality rights utilising copyright law. While there seems to be an appetite to tackle harmful deepfakes more effectively across the Union, there is also a debate about the most appropriate legal framework to do so and the need for new rights in the first place.

The roadworthiness package (RWP), last updated in 2014, aims to ensure that minimum standards are maintained by vehicle owners to ensure road safety and an adequate environmental performance of vehicles in the EU. The evaluation of the 2014 RWP found that unsafe and polluting vehicles are still circulating, and that the package has not been fully effective at achieving its objectives so far. The RWP's current revision seeks to further improve road safety and sustainable mobility and facilitate the free movement of people and goods. It consists of two proposals addressing three directives: Directive 2014/46 on registration documents for vehicles, under one procedure; and Directive 2014/45 on periodic technical inspection and Directive 2014/47 on roadside inspection, under another. The new measures are aimed at reducing road fatalities, making roadworthiness testing more objective, reducing tampering, and improving storage and exchange of specific vehicle data to improve mutual recognition across countries.

The defence readiness roadmap 2030 translates the ambition of the 2025 white paper for European defence into concrete objectives intended to ensure that EU Member States can deter and respond to high-intensity threats by the end of the decade. It identifies persistent fragmentation, limited joint procurement and dependence on non-EU suppliers as key structural weaknesses, despite rising defence spending. Capability coalitions are designed to coordinate national investment in priority areas, and European readiness flagships, such as the drone defence initiative and the European air shield, aim to provide urgent collective responses to emerging threats. Successful implementation will depend on meeting targets for collaborative procurement, industrial capacity expansion and regulatory streamlining. The roadmap views defence readiness as dependent on a resilient industrial and technological base linked to innovation, workforce development and secure access to critical raw materials. It emphasises closer coordination with NATO and international partners, including Ukraine, whose integration into European defence planning is treated as strategically essential. Trade unions warn against deregulation and social cost shifting, while industrial actors emphasise predictable frameworks to incentivise investment. Expert analysts caution that political divergence among Member States, limited new funding and concerns over duplication with NATO may hinder progress. The European Parliament supports greater defence ambition and calls for a unified posture based on sustained support to Ukraine and strengthened joint capability development.

Sports tourism is a growing branch of the EU tourism economy, encompassing both active participation in sports and attending spectator events. Defined by the UN specialised agency for tourism as travel experiences involving watching or participating in sporting events, it has evolved into a significant economic force, valued at approximately €585 billion globally and accounting for 10 % of the total tourism market. The EU has recognised the potential of sports tourism as a strategic tool for regional development, capable of addressing common tourism challenges, such as seasonality and overtourism, by attracting visitors during off-peak periods and to emerging destinations. Benefits of sports tourism extend across economic, social, health and environmental dimensions. Economically, the sports sector generates employment, with over 6 million jobs directly linked to sports across the EU, many of which are linked to the visitor economy. Further multiplier effects create additional value through supply chain impacts. Beyond immediate revenue generation, sports tourism can serve as a catalyst for infrastructure development, destination branding and long-term urban revitalisation. For individuals, active sports tourism provides health benefits and serves as a preventive health investment. Rural areas, in particular, benefit from sports tourism as it can diversify local economies, boost infrastructure improvements and provide visibility for less-visited regions. However, it is important to design policies that promote a sustainable and inclusive form of sports tourism that addresses the needs of all stakeholders involved and respects the unique local social and environmental context to avoid negative impacts associated with poorly managed mega-events, such as overcrowding, displacement and unsustainable public debt.
