#Merz will #Flüchtlinge an der #Grenze abweisen also praktisch Verhältnisse wie in #Ungarn 😱


Insbesondere Ungarn hat schon mehrfach versucht, sich im Asylrecht auf Artikel 72 zu berufen, um von EU-Recht abweichen zu können. Doch der #EuGH hat das noch in keinem einzigen Fall akzeptiert.

Une vague petite promesse, et hop, #EELV, c'est dans la poche. 😀
Et pour remettre au pouvoir quelqu'un qui est de la droite dure... sur laquelle il y a une affaire, voire plusieurs...

Magnifique. 😀

Une pipe, un nougat, et hop, ça repart. 😀

Free lunches, brain breaks and happy teachers: why Estonia has the best schools in Europe


How did #Estonia, a small country that is relatively poor compared with most of the EU, become an educational powerhouse?

In the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) rankings, which measures 15-year-olds’ abilities in maths, reading and science, the top spots are held by a handful of Asian countries, but Estonia ranks next – the best in Europe.

Its teachers are highly educated, the focus is on social and personal skills as much as academic learning and the typical curriculum is packed with a wide range of subjects, from robotics to music and arts.

#Apple, #Google, and Meta are failing #DMA compliance, #EU suspects

Not even three weeks after the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) took effect, the #EuropeanCommission (EC) announced Monday that it is already probing three out of six gatekeepers—Apple, Google, and Meta—for suspected non-compliance.

Europarat rügt Deutschland: Zu wenig Anstrengung im Kampf gegen Ungleichheit


In einem Bericht wirft der Europarat Deutschland zahlreiche Versäumnisse vor. Die Bundesrepublik müsse mehr gegen die wachsende Armut unternehmen.


In einem Zeitalter, in dem die Verzerrung der Prioritäten zur Norm geworden ist, legt das beste Deutschland allerzeiten erneut seine wahre Agenda offen: Militärausgaben und Militarismus werden gefördert, während der Kampf gegen Armut - sei es Kinder- oder Altersarmut, sei es der Mangel an bezahlbarem Wohnraum - auf der Strecke bleibt. Ein trauriges Spektakel...

We've fined Apple over €1.8 billion over abusive App Store rules for music streaming providers.

For a decade, Apple abused its dominant position by restricting developers from informing consumers about alternative, cheaper music services available outside of the Apple ecosystem.

This is illegal under #EU #antitrust rules.

If you are a citizen of any EU Member State, I implore you to consider signing the Tax-the-Rich citizens' initiative:
https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/

The idea is to tax the super rich and then use the money for climate transition. :blobcathappypaws:

This is an official EU citizens' initiative, meaning that if it reaches certain thresholds, it *will have to be* considered by the EU institutions. That's a really powerful tool, if actually used.

So we should use it. :blobcatcool:

#TaxTheRich #EU


Cathedral or Bazaar? We made our choice.

Over the last 15 years, we have supported the use of open technologies in public administration.

The Open Source Observatory has helped the European public sector leverage open technologies effectively and efficiently by providing various resources, including a knowledge centre to reveal the benefits and follow #EU open source software development.

Join us on 21 November to discuss #OpenSource policies, funding, and more → https://osorturns15.eu

#OSS

A visual with text at the centre: "Brussels 21 Nov - OSOR turns 15 - From Pioneering to Mainstreaming Open Technologies in Public Services"

🇪🇺 €61 billion.

This is the amount of value-added tax (VAT) revenues lost in the #EU in 2021 mainly to fraud, evasion, non-fraudulent bankruptcies, miscalculations and financial insolvencies.

Yet, it is an improvement from the €99 billion lost in 2020.

Lost VAT revenues can severely hamper governments' ability to finance essential public goods and services, including schools, hospitals, and transportation.

We will continue to sustain and amplify efforts towards reinforcing VAT compliance.

A graph representing the percentage of VAT revenue lost in 2021.  

Values are:

Belgium €2 530 million | Bulgaria €347 million | Czechia €1 362 million | Denmark €1 780 million |Germany €7 460 million | Estonia €40 million | Ireland €1 116 million | Greece €3 231 million |Spain €662 million | France €9 552 million | Hungary €461 million | Italy €14 600 million |Cyprus €197 million | Latvia €225 million | Lithuania €795 million | Luxembourg €70 million | Hungary €709 million | Malta €345 million | The Netherlands €-146 million | Austria €883 million | Poland €1 694 million | Portugal €713 million | Romania €8 996 million | Slovenia €87 million | Slovakia €871 million | Finland €90 million | Sweden €1 935 million

‘The ‘non-profit start-up’ Thorn, founded by actor Ashton Kutcher, is a driving force behind the EU’s campaign to scan the net for child abuse material. Newly public documents and financial information obtained by Follow the Money reveal the blurred boundaries between Thorn’s do-good public face and the powerful business behind it.’

So it turns out Europol want the access to all the data that would be collected under plans to scan messages for CSAM. Confirming worst fears that child abuse is being used as an excuse for routine mass surveillance of all images and messages https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/29/europol-sought-unlimited-data-access-in-online-child-sexual-abuse-regulation/ . #surveillance #eu #privacy


Like Putin-"UP IN SMOKE"

Dramatic first pic shows Putin’s prized supersonic nuke bomber completely DESTROYED by ONE Ukrainian kamikaze drone

His military in tatters after 270,000 Russian dead in Ukraine, his economy gasping for air as the the ruble falls against the mighty dollar, Putin is ignoring the obvious - "IT'S TIME TO LEAVE UKRAINE!"

The EU has coordinated the medical evacuations of more than 2,300 Ukrainian patients to European hospitals since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Patients suffering from war injuries or serious medical conditions that cannot currently be treated inside Ukraine have been transferred to hospitals in 21 European countries, as part of a scheme launched in March 2022.

By the way, it’s possible that #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerberg’s fediverse play for Threads is related to sidestepping the anti-competitiveness/antitrust issues around the EU’s Digital Services Act.

“Hey, look, we’re not a monopoly. We’re not being anticompetitive… we’re federating using an open protocol. Here, let our friend Eugen, CEO of Mastodon, explain to you how it works in very dispassionate words…”

#eu #ec #fediverse #mastodon #antitrust #DigitalServicesAct #PR #usefulIdiots


Folks, the reason #Facebook/ #Instagram/ #Meta/ Zuckerberg hasn’t launched #Threads in the #EU isn’t because the EU is determined to protect your privacy, it’s because the EU is determined to protect The Single Market (peace be upon it) from anticompetitive behaviour. It’s because they’re using Instagram to launch Threads and sharing data between them (and not with EU startups that might want to use that data too). It’s #antitrust, not #privacy. It’s markets, not people.

"The award-winning #Ukrainian #writer and #war crimes #researcher Victoria Amelina was critically injured in a #Russian missile strike on a pizza restaurant in eastern #Ukraine this week.

#HumanRights activists say the attack on the crowded building, which killed 12 people including 14-year-old twins and injured at least 60 others, was a #WarCrime."

So what is #Europe's plan to deter terrorist #Russia from committing the #terrorist act of blowing up the Zaporizhzhia #nuclear power plant in #Ukraine?

What's #NATO's plan to prevent this?

Or is it just the usual "expressing our concern, are monitoring the situation, and talking to our partners" bullsh** that #Putin couldn't care less about?

First the dam blown up.
No reaction. No consequence.

What next? What's the deterrent? Anyone?
