ي考虑 إدارة Donald Trump تخفيف القيود على ناقلات الأسطول الظل الروسية لخفض أسعار الديiesel قبل انتخابات منتصف المدة. يجتمع قادة EU لإعادة التجمع ل讨论 أوكران، والدفاع، والهجرة بعد 12 ساعة من المفاوضات التي ا dominatingها النزاع على تكلفة الطاقة. ت chaired Discussions byAntonioCosta، dryly reminding leaders to avoid drafting in the room. Defenders of the EU's emissions trading system resisted an Italian-led campaign to weaken the flagship climate policy. Context: Gas prices in Europe have more than doubled since the year start due to the US-Israeli war against Iran.
Some climate-sceptic governments sought to use the crisis to dismantle environmental legislation. A group of countries including Italy, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic sought to water down the emissions trading system and delay its application to buildings and transport from 2028 to 2030. However, Germany, France, Spain, and the Nordics insisted on avoiding a weakening of the price signal to encourage green investments.
Diplomats rolled their eyes at leaders arguing over draft wording. As a sop to countries with high energy prices, leaders called on the European Commission to take into account specific member state circumstances when designing short-term remedies. There was similar dissonance in discussions on the 2028-34 shared budget, with net contributors led by Germany demanding hundreds of billions in cuts while a majority defended funding for farmers and regions.
Costa promises a new budget proposal before an additional summit on November 26. More disagreement expected today as leaders discuss migration, with Italy and Denmark demanding tougher language against pull factors, jabbing at Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez's decision to grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants. Critics claim this contributed to over 72,000 people entering the Spanish exclave of Ceuta in July.
Italy struggles to foster global companies despite industrial design reputation. A controversial hard-right think-tank close to former Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán faces scrutiny over funders.
