The European Commission said on May 6 that it had taken the first steps to drop its sanctions procedure against Poland over the rule-of-law issues. The EU's executive arm launched the procedure, which can lead to the suspension of certain rights, in 2017 against the Polish government at the time led by the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party. "Today marks a new chapter for Poland. After more than 6 years, we believe that the Article 7 procedure can be closed," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on X. "I congratulate Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his government on th...

The outcry comes following months of anticipation that Israel's war cabinet could order its troops to invade the city, which borders Egypt on the south edge of the besieged Gaza Strip. Since February, the bloc has been warning that the move would worsen an "already catastrophic situation" given that around 1.4 million Palestinians - over half of Gaza’s population - are sheltering from war in Rafah. On Monday, Israel’s military ordered residents and displaced Palestinians to evacuate Rafah’s eastern neighbourhoods to safe zones in other parts of Gaza, indicating that the invasion could be immin...

The group has called for EU lawmakers to be banned from moonlighting, as figures show over two thirds of the 705 deputies disclose activities in addition to their core role.

The announcement wasn't taken well across the Rhine. A few hours later, Germany's Olaf Scholz answered “Europe and NATO will not send any soldiers to Ukraine.” Macron's statement was "a red line for Germany”, which fears being passed off as “warmonger” in the eyes of Vladimir Putin, according to Dr Carolyn Moser, director of a research group at Heidelberg's Max Planck Institute of International Law and holder of the Alfred Grosser Chair at S...
