12·3 비상계엄 선포 사태를 수사 중인 검찰이 계엄 당일 국무회의에 참석했던 한덕수 국무총리를 비공개로 불러 조사했다. 고위공직자범죄수사처(공수처)로부터 윤석열 대통령 사건을 넘겨받기에 앞서 국무회의 전후 상황 재구성에 나선 것이다. 검찰 특별수사본부(본부장 박세현 서울고검장)는 21일 한 총리를 피의자 신분으로 불러 지난해 12월 3일 비상계엄 선포 당일 상황에 대해 집중적으로 캐물은 것으로 전해졌다. 검찰은 한 총리가 12월 4일 새벽 비상계엄 해제를 위해 열린 국무회의에도 참석한 만큼 당시 상황도 조사한 것으로 전해졌다. 한 총리는 더불어민주당 등으로부터 내란죄 및 직권남용 혐의 등으로 고발당해 피의자 신분이다. 윤 대통령 탄핵소추안이 가결된 이후 대통령 직무대행을 맡았지만, 이후 야당 주도로 국회가 탄핵소추안을 가결하면서 현재 직무 정지 상태다. 경찰 비상계엄 특별수사단(단장 우종수 국가수사본부장) 역시 지난해 12월 한 총리를 피의자 신분으로 조사한 바 있다. 한 총리 측

22일 열린 국회 윤석열 정부의 비상계엄 선포를 통한 내란 혐의 진상 규명 국정조사특별위원회(국조특위) 첫 청문회는 모든 혐의를 부인하며 ‘버티기’에 들어간 윤 대통령을 정조준했다. 윤 대통령이 전날 헌법재판소 탄핵심판 3차 변론에 출석해 12·3 비상계엄 사태 당시 국회의원 체포나 국가 비상입법기구 설치에 대해 “(지시한 적) 없다”고 주장한 가운데 이를 반박하는 증언이 잇따른 것. 야당은 “‘나 살자’고 구질구질한 변명으로 목숨 걸고 따른 부하들을 나 몰라라 하는 비겁한 대통령”이라고 비판했다.● 비상입법기구 쪽지 부인한 尹 증언 반박김철진 국방부 군사보좌관은 “비상계엄 당일 오후 10시 20분부터 11시 10분까지 (대통령실이 아닌) 합동참모본부 전투통제실에 김용현 전 국방부 장관이 있었느냐”는 더불어민주당 박선원 의원의 질의에 “그렇다”고 답했다. 최상목 대통령 권한대행 부총리 겸 기획재정부 장관이 쪽지를 받던 오후 10시 40분경 김 전 장관은 대통령실 밖에 있었던 만큼 국

윤석열 대통령이 22일 국회 내란 혐의 진상규명 국정조사특별위원회(국조특위)가 발부한 동행명령장에 따른 청문회 출석을 거부했다. 국회가 현직 대통령에게 청문회 강제 출석을 요구하는 동행명령장을 발부한 것은 처음이다. 국회 내란 국조특위는 윤 대통령이 이날 오전 내란 국조특위 1차 청문회에 불참하자 동행명령장을 발부했다. 야당 의원들은 “이번 청문회의 핵심은 내란수괴(우두머리) 윤 대통령의 출석”이라며 동행명령장 발부를 요구했고 표결 결과 11 대 7로 야당 주도로 가결됐다. 동행명령장은 국회 청문회 등의 출석을 거부하는 증인을 강제로 출석시키기 위한 것으로 이를 거부하면 최대 5년 이하의 징역형을 받을 수 있다. 하지만 윤 대통령은 서울구치소에서 “오후 2시까지 청문회에 출석하라”는 내용의 동행명령장을 전달받았으나 불응했다. 더불어민주당은 국조특위 현장조사에서 서울구치소를 직접 방문해 윤 대통령에 대한 조사를 추진하겠다는 계획이다. 고위공직자범죄수사처(공수처)도 이날 구속수감 중인

Premjeras Gintautas Paluckas sako nepalaikantis Baltarusijos opozicionierių iniciatyvos savo piliečiams išduoti alternatyvius pasus, ant kurių vaizduojamas Vytį primenantis simbolis. Vyriausybės vadovo teigimu, tokių pasų įvedimas sukeltų daug papildomų, Lietuvai visai nereikalingų klausimų.

Prezidentas Gitanas Nausėda sako, kad Vytis yra lietuviškas simbolis, tačiau juo galėtų naudotis „laisvę išpažįstančios ir Putinui nekeliaklupsčiaujančios“ tautos. Dalis politikų pasipiktino, kad Vytį primenantis raitelis ant žirgo yra vaizduojamas Baltarusijos opozicijos „pasų“ maketuose. Jie teigia, kad baltarusiai gviešiasi į mūsų valstybės simbolius. Baltarusiai teigia, kad naudojami simboliai skiriasi, o šiuos pasus kūrė su ankstesnės Lietuvos vyriausybės žinia ir net palaikymu. Apie tai, kodėl Vyčio simbolis kelia audras Žinių radijo laidoje „Dienos klausimas“ diskutavo šios istorikai ir politologai.

The EU design legislative reform package includes two texts amending Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 (the Community Design Regulation) and, in parallel, recasting Directive 98/71/EC (the Design Directive) to align the design protection system in the EU with the digital age and make it more accessible and efficient for applicants. In terms of digitalisation, the update of the requirements for representing designs will allow applicants to file new digital design types (e.g. by using 3D printing technologies). In terms of efficiency, the reform package aims to make application procedures cheaper and simpler and registration procedures faster, while also ensuring greater predictability and legal certainty for stakeholders looking for design protection in the EU. Within the European Parliament, the files were assigned to the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI), with Gilles Lebreton (ID, France) as rapporteur. The EU design legislative reform package was published in the EU's Official Journal on 18 November 2024; the two texts entered into force 20 days after their publication in the Official Journal. The Community Design Regulation will apply from 1 May 2025 (with a few articles applying from 1 July 2026), whereas Member States will have to transpose the Design Directive into their national legal systems by 9 December 2027.

Road safety has improved significantly in the EU, with the number of road fatalities falling by more than 60 % in the last 20 years. However, improvements in road safety fell short of the EU goals of decreasing the number of road deaths by 50 % between 2001 and 2010, and by an additional 50 % between 2011 and 2020. Directive (EU) 2015/413 facilitating cross-border exchange of information on road safety-related traffic offences – the Cross-border Enforcement (CBE) Directive – is one of the pillars of the policy framework to improve road safety in the EU. It aims to help improve road safety by tackling the relative impunity of non-resident drivers. The revision, announced in the European Commission's sustainable and smart mobility strategy in 2020, seeks to address key shortcomings in existing rules. According to Commission estimates, 40 % of cross-border offences are committed with impunity, either because the offender is not identified or because the fine is not enforced. The Commission tabled its proposal to revise the CBE Directive on 1 March 2023 as part of the road safety package. In the European Parliament, the file was assigned to the Committee on Transport and Tourism (rapporteur: Kosma Złotowski, ECR, Poland). Following interinstitutional negotiations, the Parliament and Council negotiators reached a provisional agreement on the final wording of the text on 12 March 2024. The Parliament approved the agreed text on 24 April 2024. The Council adopted the new rules on 16 December 2024 and the final act was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 30 December 2024.

Irregular migration is hard to define and to measure. Several EU datasets provide indications of a range of aspects of irregular migration, such as attempted irregular crossings of EU external borders, detected irregular stays, loss of regular status and removals of irregular migrants. However, these datasets are often incomplete, inconsistent, and insufficient to capture the complex issues of irregular migration and return. Despite its shortcomings, data on irregular migration is highly consequential for EU policy making and contributes to the ongoing politicisation of migration in the EU. For example, the widely shared figures showing increasing numbers of people crossing into the EU irregularly, and scores of irregular migrants unwilling or unable to return to their country of origin, fuel a narrative of a long-standing migration crisis in the EU. Such figures also trigger renewed efforts to reinforce EU measures seeking to deter, criminalise, and return irregular migrants. By identifying relevant EU datasets on irregular migration and return and discussing key gaps and limitations, it can be concluded that the available data provide only a partial and sometimes misleading picture of irregular migration in the EU. New official data sources, expected to be available in the future, may alleviate some of the existing issues. However, these need to be complemented with additional indicators and approaches that focus on other important dimensions of migration and return policies, such as compliance with fundamental rights, efficiency, and policy coherence.

In recent years, the European Union has faced a significant number of asylum applications, with over 513 000 applications received in the first half of 2024 alone. Women and girls make up a substantial proportion of asylum seekers, with one in three asylum-seekers being female. In international law, the 1951 Geneva Refugee Convention is the main instrument regulating asylum. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Istanbul Convention provide a framework for protecting the rights of women who seek protection. The EU has developed a common European asylum system that has gradually incorporated gender-sensitive elements in legal texts such as the Qualification Directive, the Asylum Procedures Directive and the Reception Conditions Directive. These directives offer special protection to vulnerable individuals, including women and children. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has played a crucial role in advancing a gender-sensitive approach in EU asylum law, acknowledging the specific experiences and circumstances of women and other vulnerable individuals seeking protection in the EU. The CJEU has recognised gender-based violence as a form of persecution and grounds for asylum or subsidiary protection. It has also acknowledged the importance of considering the individual circumstances and experiences of asylum seekers, particularly women and girls, who may face persecution or harm owing to their adherence to certain values or lifestyles. This aligns with a more gender-sensitive approach in EU asylum law and policy in recent years. Nevertheless continued progress is needed to address the human rights challenges faced by women and girls in asylum procedures. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Evolving from informal police cooperation in the 1970s to a fully fledged European Union (EU) agency, Europol has seen its mandate continuously strengthened in recent years. In 2016, the agency was given a new legal basis (Regulation (EU) 2016/794), which strengthened Europol's data management and protection rules and provided for enhanced scrutiny: (i) political scrutiny – by a new parliamentary oversight body made up of representatives of the European Parliament and Member States' national parliaments; and (ii) scrutiny of its data processing operations – by the European Data Protection Supervisor. Furthermore, the regulation reformed the framework for Europol's cooperation with partners such as third countries and international organisations, which also allowed for a strengthened role for the European Commission and the European Parliament. In 2022, on the basis of Regulation (EU) 2022/991, Europol was given new powers to cooperate directly with private parties, process large and complex datasets and take on a larger role in research and innovation. In 2023, the Commission proposed further changes to Europol's mandate that would strengthen its role in fighting migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings. Europol's mandate is to support actions by EU Member States' law enforcement authorities and ensure their cooperation for the purpose of preventing and combating serious crime affecting two or more Member States, terrorism, and forms of crime that affect a common interest covered by a Union policy. The agency is empowered to tackle more than 30 forms of serious crime and related criminal offences, including terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking, sexual abuse and exploitation, and trafficking in arms and ammunition. To fulfil its objectives, Europol carries out a series of tasks, including the core activities of acting as the EU's criminal information exchange hub and providing operational support and expertise to Member States' criminal investigations.
