  • MIL-OSI Economics: Governor Signe Krogstrup: Climate Risks and Financial Stability – Staying the Course Amid Uncertainty

    Source: Danmarks Nationalbank

    Pressing global challenges and high uncertainty rightly command our attention in the current juncture, but they also threaten to overshadow issues such as climate change. Meanwhile, physical risks of climate change are becoming more evident, and the global transition remains too slow.

    Governor Krogstrup commented: “Rather than looking away, the many concurrent challenges should reinforce our commitment to addressing these in a risk-based, prioritized manner.”

    Scenario analysis is a cornerstone of climate risk assessment. While climate policy is a government responsibility, climate-related risks fall squarely within the mandates of central banks. At Danmarks Nationalbank, climate work is integrated into scenario analysis and data collection. Nationalbanken has developed scenarios and collaborated with the Danish Research Institute for Economic Analysis and Modelling (DREAM) to understand how the green transition may impact the Danish economy and banks.

    Governor Krogstrup concluded by calling for collaboration: “The risks arising from climate change are global and multidisciplinary. Learning from each other and collaborating is not only useful — it is necessary.”

    Source: European Parliament

    The current US administration promotes dollar-backed stablecoins—privately issued and supported by US debt—to reinforce dollar dominance worldwide, a strategy we dub “cryptomercantilism.” This report studies the EU’s 2024 Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and its safeguards for the EU’s monetary sovereignty. It also compares MiCAR to the proposed GENIUS Act in the US. Under existing policies, USD stablecoins create severe risks for third countries, indirectly also affecting the EU. The EU should counter digital dollarisation by promoting the international role of the euro in a context of enhanced multilateral payment systems.

    Source: European Parliament

    In this paper, we review the recent economic outlook, policy decisions and communication of the ECB against the backdrop of growing uncertainty. First, inflation heterogeneity has receded with inflation, thus contributing to facilitating the design of monetary policy. Second, monetary easing is somewhat dampened by the reduction in ECB’s balance sheet. Third, ECB has chosen to foreground uncertainty more explicitly in its public-facing communication, potentially as a tool to manage expectations and signal caution to a broader audience.

    Question for written answer  E-002060/2025/rev.1
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Galato Alexandraki (ECR)

    Island regions face major challenges such as abandonment, overtourism and migratory pressure. Some islands receive tourists at a rate of around 150 per inhabitant, while – at the same time – islands in the Eastern Aegean continue to face significant migration flows, placing a strain on local communities. Other islands (which are essentially EU borders) are confronted with depopulation due to a lack of infrastructure and the resulting deterioration in living standards.

    The EU recognises the specificities of island regions in Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which provides for particular attention for regions with permanent natural or demographic handicaps, such as islands. However, the implementation of specific support policies and measures remains limited.

    Can the Commission therefore answer the following:

    Does it intend to adopt a special tax regime for the smaller Aegean islands in order to strengthen their economic viability?

  • MIL-OSI Europe: How innovation is improving construction

    Source: European Investment Bank

    Wood is one solution for lowering the carbon footprint of construction. But most buildings today are built using cement, the “glue” in concrete. And cement production has long been one of the most carbon-intensive industrial processes, accounting for about 8% of global carbon emissions.

    Heidelberg Materials, a German multinational building material manufacturer, is tackling this challenge by innovating, digitalising and improving its processes.

    The company says its goal is to achieve net zero by 2050. “We’re taking the entire value chain into account,” says Wolfgang Dienemann, vice president of global research and development and innovation. “From raw materials to reuse, including optimising the product mix, making process improvements and advancing circularity across our operations.”

    The European Investment Bank is supporting the company’s research, development and innovation programme with a €100 million loan signed in December 2023.

    Over a third of Heidelberg Material’s revenue is already generated through their carbon-reduced and circular products, and the company aims to increase this to 50% by 2030.

    Digital initiatives are another key part of the company’s strategy. “We’re leveraging artificial intelligence to continuously improve the efficiency, safety and sustainability of our production processes,” says Dienemann. The company is using tools developed in-house to forecast energy prices and plan for the best time for cement production.

    However, a considerable proportion of carbon emissions generated in the process of cement manufacturing is unavoidable and cannot be tackled using established techniques, Dienemann adds. Carbon capture, use and storage is therefore another key lever to achieving net-zero carbon emissions in construction.

    “It’s all linked with a future move to carbon capture, when it becomes available and affordable,” says Eoin Keane, a senior engineer at the European Investment Bank. “But it’s also about reducing the need to generate CO2 in the first place.”

    Dienemann agrees. “One key indicator to track our progress is the reduction of specific net carbon emissions,” he says. “We succeeded in reducing our specific net carbon emissions by a further 1.3% to 527 kg per tonne of cementitious material in 2024 and aim to lower them to 400 kg per tonne by 2030.”

    As reported in the press[1], the state of affairs in France’s juvenile detention centres in France is scandalous: girls are exposed to prostitution, boys to drug trafficking, and now Islamist networks, particularly those run by the Muslim Brotherhood, are infiltrating them:

    Despite repeated warnings, this criminal neglect of children and teenagers, who are among the most vulnerable members of society, has been completely ignored by successive French governments.

    Worse still, through their irresponsible migration policy, these governments have aggravated the security situation in juvenile detention centres, even going so far as to place children of Jihadists returning from Syria in these centres.

    Furthermore, the French authorities do not monitor the training of professionals in secularism, which allows religious rules to be imposed in the canteens of these establishments.

    • 1.Is the Commission aware of similar cases of negligence in the protection of minors in other Member States?

    The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is leading to an increasing number of creative works being generated wholly or partly by AI. These creations are often published without it being disclosed that they were created using AI. This lack of transparency is misleading for consumers and undermines the work of human creators.

    In this context, ensuring a level playing field on digital platforms is crucial. On 25 March 2024, the Commission announced a preliminary investigation under the Digital Markets Act[1] into potential self-preferencing by Amazon on its marketplace.

    Question for written answer  E-002345/2025
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Valentina Palmisano (The Left)

    Local environmental associations are complaining about the serious disparities in how the stakeholders involved in the approval process for the Acciaierie d’Italia steelworks’ integrated environmental permit (IEP) are being treated. These groups claim that they were not officially sent the final investigation opinion for the IEP (which contains 477 technical specifications), even though they are formally part of the approval procedure and had, in this capacity, previously submitted specific comments.

    The final investigation opinion was, however, sent to the plant’s operator, who was in a position to study it and propose changes, therefore exerting a clear influence on the drafting of the final opinion. The environmental associations claim that they have received neither the first nor the second PIC, nor plant management’s proposals, thus preventing them from putting forward any arguments and playing an effective role in the approval process.

    In the light of Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions and the Aarhus Convention, both of which guarantee the right to public participation and transparency in environmental proceedings:

    • 1.Is the Commission aware of the state of affairs described above?
    • 2.Does it think that the Taranto steelworks’ EIP approval procedure has been carried in accordance with EU law?

    Question for written answer  E-002359/2025
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Mathilde Androuët (PfE)

    The Commission wants to relax national rules governing the movement of defence equipment between Member States, in order to reduce the administrative burden and speed up production of weapons in the EU[1]. Germany, Italy and Spain in particular share France’s concerns about this attempt to deregulate.

    A majority in the Council of the EU seems to be in favour, arguing that ‘EU arms deliveries to Ukraine were one of the factors to drive this review’, but reaffirmed ‘the EU’s commitment (…) to preventing diversion’[2], which poses a serious risk to the protection of critical technologies developed by our industrial firms.

    Seeking to accelerate arms production by removing national safeguards amounts to sacrificing the sovereignty of the peoples of Europe, as decisions on arms exports traditionally fall within the sovereign powers of our nations. Those decisions directly involve their diplomatic responsibility, their strategic security and their industrial autonomy.

    • 1.How will the Commission prevent this relaxation from facilitating unwanted transfers of sensitive know-how?
    • 2.Can it confirm that the Member States will retain control of their arms export policy, without any pressure or binding mechanism, in line with their freedom to make political assessments?

    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Michalis Hadjipantela (PPE)

    The EU’s Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Directive (89/654/EEC), establishing minimum safety requirements for workplaces, has remained unchanged since 1989. However, the work environment and its risks have continued to change since then, with heart disease fatalities related to long working hours seeing a rise of 41 %. It is thus crucial to mitigate the risks associated with health emergencies, such as sudden cardiac arrests.

    EU legislation can be updated to address this risk by improving access to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and automated external defibrillators (AEDs). By improving workers’ abilities to respond to medical emergencies, the EU can promote a culture of preparedness within the workplace and beyond.

    In this context:

    • 1.Does the Commission intend to revise the OSH Directive to include mandatory CPR training and the availability of AEDs in workplaces, ensuring a harmonised approach to emergency preparedness across the Member States?
    • 2.How does the Commission intend to integrate the Council conclusions on the improvement of cardiovascular health in the EU into occupational health and safety legislation, given the Council’s focus on making AEDs publicly available and ensuring that individuals are properly trained to use them?
    • 3.Can the Commission fund the purchase of AEDs to be used in public schools, workplaces and similar high-capacity environments?

    At the heart of the global challenges we face is Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine and its assault on the UN Charter and Helsinki Final Act.  The United Kingdom will continue to stand resolutely with Ukraine as it seeks a just and lasting peace.

    We remain convinced that an immediate and sustained ceasefire is the quickest route to stopping the killing and creating the space for negotiations on a framework for a lasting peace. As we have already heard, today marks 100 days since Ukraine offered a full, unconditional ceasefire on 11 March.  During this time, not only has Russia rejected Ukraine’s offer, it has killed over 550 civilians and injured around 3000 more.  It has launched its biggest aerial attacks of the war so far. And it has not just sustained its attacks, but increased them.

    The brutal attack on residential buildings in Kyiv earlier this week, which killed 28 civilians and left a further 134 wounded, are the actions of an aggressor who thinks that the world is not watching.  They are wrong.

    The Kremlin does this while trying to convince the international community that it is serious about peace.  All of us in this room know from bitter experience how much weight we should attach to Moscow’s words.  You only need to look at the days leading up to the invasion when we heard in this room that speculation of an invasion was “unsubstantiated conjectures”.  But let us analyse their words, nonetheless.

    On 2 June in Istanbul, Russia presented its memorandum with its conditions for ending its illegal war.  In contrast to Ukraine’s own proposals, which are serious, reasonable and constructive, Russia’s memorandum calls for a complete surrender of Ukraine’s internationally recognised territory and limits on Ukraine’s armed forces.  President Putin knows that Ukraine cannot accept this: he is claiming territory his army has not been able to take in over three years of his illegal war, and trying to weaken Ukraine so he can continue the war in future.  The Kremlin’s maximalist position is clearly inconsistent with international principles enshrined in the UN Charter and Helsinki Final Act – including sovereign equality, the inviolability of frontiers, the territorial integrity of states and the non-intervention in internal affairs.  It is further evidence – in case any were needed – that President Putin is not yet serious about peace.

    Madam Chair, today also marks the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict.  There is mounting evidence of conflict-related sexual violence committed by Russian forces against Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war, including from successive Moscow Mechanism reports.  We will have more to say on this in our Joint Statement under the relevant agenda item later today.

    Finally, Madam Chair, it has been 38 months since Russia detained our three OSCE colleagues, Vadym Golda, Maxim Petrov and Dmytro Shabanov.  The United Kingdom again calls for their immediate release. Thank you.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Strangulation in pornography to be made illegal

    Source: United Kingdom – Executive Government & Departments 3

    Press release

    Strangulation in pornography to be made illegal

    The depiction of strangulation in pornography will be banned in a move to protect women from violence, the Government has announced.

    • Pornography depicting any act of strangulation to be made illegal through Crime and Policing Bill
    • Follows acceptance of Independent Porn Review recommendation
    • Protection of women and girls vital to Government’s Plan for Change

    Recognising how dangerous online material is perpetuating the growing epidemic of violence against women and girls, the Government will criminalise pornography that depicts acts of strangulation.

    The announcement, as campaigned for by Jessica Asato and others, follows the Independent Porn Review, conducted by Baroness Gabby Bertin, which found that media sources such as pornography have effectively established strangulation during sex as a ‘sexual norm’, and a belief that strangling a partner during sex is ‘safe’ because it is believed to be non-fatal despite overwhelming evidence that is is believed there is no safe way to strangle a person.

    This is the latest step on the Government’s pledge to halve violence against women and girls, part of the Plan for Change.

    Minister for Victims and tackling Violence Against Women and Girls, Alex Davies-Jones, said:

    Depicting strangulation during sex is not only dangerous, but also degrading, with real life consequences for women. 

    Cracking down on the appalling rise of strangulation pornography will protect women and send a clear signal to men and boys that misogyny will not be tolerated.

    Andrea Simon, Director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW) said:

    We welcome the government’s decision to criminalise the depiction of strangulation in pornography, a move that reflects years of campaigning by EVAW and other experts who have long warned about the normalisation of violence against women and girls in online content.

    There is no such thing as safe strangulation; women cannot consent to the long-term harm it can cause, including impaired cognitive functioning and memory. Its widespread portrayal in porn is fuelling dangerous behaviours, particularly among young people.

    This is a vital step towards recognising the role violent pornography plays in shaping attitudes to women and regulating an industry which promotes and profits from violence against women.

    The amendment will be made to the Crime and Policing Bill – central to the Government’s Plan for Change – making streets safer and the justice system stronger for victims.

    Further information

    • The amendment builds on protections already in place within the Obscene Publications Act 1959, and the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 which criminalises the possession of extreme porn, which includes the depiction of life-threatening acts.
    • Further details of the amendment will be set out in due course.

    Scottish Greens call for update on Government funding of Israel’s arms dealers

    More in External Affairs

    The SNP must urgently update parliament on what it is doing to end Scottish Government support for companies arming and supporting Israel, say the Scottish Greens.

    Yesterday in Holyrood, Scottish Greens co-leader and Economy spokesperson Lorna Slater MSP forced a vote to ensure the Scottish Government takes urgent action on Scottish Enterprise’s failing human rights due diligence checks.

    All other parties except the Scottish Greens refused to back Lorna’s call.

    Since 2019, the Scottish Government has reportedly given at least £8 million of Scottish Enterprise grants to companies involved in arms dealing and manufacturing. This includes a number of businesses who have directly supplied weapons and military equipment to Israel during its assault on Gaza, including Leonardo and Raytheon.

    Companies receiving funds through Scottish Enterprise are subject to a human rights due diligence check, but no company has ever failed these checks. Amnesty International has condemned the process as “inadequate”.

    Following a debate forced by the Greens in February this year, the Scottish Government committed to a review of these human rights checks to ensure that Scotland is meeting its international obligations.

    However, the Government has yet failed to update Parliament on the progress of the review.

    Lorna Slater spoke in the Conservatives party debate ‘Recognising the Economic Contribution of Scotland’s Defence Sector’.

    Speaking after the vote, Lorna said:

    “Not a penny of public money should be going to arms companies that are profiting from war crimes and genocide in Gaza. But four months on from the Scottish Government’s promised review of Scottish Enterprise human rights checks, we’ve had no update and seen no changes. Ten-thousand more people have been killed in Gaza while this review has been going on.

    “Yesterday, the Parliament could have forced the Government to report on this critical review and ensure they meet their own public commitments to upholding and promoting human rights internationally. But despite voting for the review in February, the SNP, Labour and the Lib Dems refused to back our call for an urgent update to Parliament.

    “The ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza that is being live streamed on social media into our homes, is only possible because of the companies and governments arming the state of Israel to carry out the assaults.

    “Just this week, 51 starving Palestinians were killed while desperately trying to access food through a so-called ‘aid’ distribution point coordinated by the US and Israel. This is only one of several attacks at these sites, where the death toll has now reached into the hundreds, with thousands more severely injured.

    “We may not have the power to stop the UK’s active participation in Israel’s genocide, but we can control where our public money goes – and that should never be put into the pockets of companies who are profiting from some of the most horrific war crimes of our generation.”

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: 18 June 2025 Departmental update Jordan’s new drink-driving law will save lives

    Source: World Health Organisation

    Jordan has taken a bold step to make its roads safer with the ratification of a new drink-driving law that meets World Health Organization (WHO) best practice criteria.

    With technical support from WHO, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan introduced legislation that lowers the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers to 0.05 grams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood for the general population, bringing the country closer to global standards that are proven to save lives. 

    Drinking and driving significantly increases the risk and severity of road crashes. In low- and middle-income countries, where 92% of road deaths occur, between 33% and 69% of drivers killed in crashes have consumed alcohol.

    “Jordan’s landmark drink-driving law is a major step forward in efforts to reduce road deaths,” said Dr Iman Shankiti, WHO Representative to Jordan. “This builds on the commendable progress in reducing preventable road fatalities in recent years. Looking forward, WHO is here to help implement the new law and advance road safety however we can.”

    With an estimated 1514 annual road traffic fatalities and a fatality rate of 13.6 deaths per 100 000 population, Jordan is below the global average of 15 deaths per 100 000 population. Yet while road deaths are declining, the country faces challenges around legislation for speed limits, seatbelt use, child restraints, helmet use and impaired driving.

    The adoption of the new law follows extensive engagement with WHO, including through a series of consultations with countries across the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region that focused on developing laws on key road user behaviours.

    The WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety 2023 notes that 166 countries report having drink-driving laws, yet only 53 UN Member States meet all three WHO best practice criteria. This requires countries to have a drink-driving law in place, to set blood alcohol concentration at 0.05 grams or below per decilitre for the general population and at 0.02 grams per decilitre or below for novice drivers. Jordan’s new law meets two of the three criteria.

    With WHO support, efforts will focus on ensuring the law is effectively implemented, properly enforced and clearly communicated to enforcement authorities and the public. The WHO Drink-Driving Manual for Decision Makers notes that laws must be evidence-based, context-relevant and supported by robust enforcement and public awareness to save lives.

    “Jordan’s progress demonstrates what is possible when leadership, evidence and commitment come together. With the new drink-driving law in place, the country is taking meaningful action to protect lives and build a safer future on its roads,” said Dr Iman Shankiti, WHO Representative to Jordan.
