French President Emmanuel Macron said in a speech this week that he would like to see Europe create a “digital majority” of 15, meaning that before that age, parents would control access to the “digital space”. France enacted a law in July 2023 that requires online social network service providers operating in France to refuse children under 15 unless expressly authorised by one of their parents or guardians. Failure to comply with this obligation could result in the social platform being fined up to one per cent of its worldwide sales. “Does anyone send their child into the jungle at 5, 10 or...

At the upcoming G7 climate ministerial, France has a unique opportunity to demonstrate leadership on the climate action front.

The pressure is mounting to replace the expiring $100 billion (€93.3bn) per year target set in Copenhagen in 2009 with a New Co...

Recent figures reveal that President Emmanuel Macron’s deficit reduction plan is behind target, meaning France must find additional revenue or face further fiscal uncertainty. Trapped in a stalemate between raising taxes or cutting spending, France instead should consider the revenue potential of principled tax policy design. On 26 March, the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies announced France’s 2023 budget deficit was 5.5% of GDP, well above both the government’s 4.9% target and the EU’s 3% rate. The €16 billion gap is economically significant for any government, but...
