@euiss.bsky.social"The EU’s ailing economy requires both a domestic overhaul & a more aggressive foreign trade policy, especially with China". While it cannot disengage completely as it did with Russia, there is a strong momentum to reset trade relations with Beijing. @ruehlig.bsky.social
@euiss.bsky.social"The United States’ and Europe’s dependency on Chinese pharmaceutical ingredients was built over decades, and it will not be undone quickly."

@euiss.bsky.socialEurope’s data centres don’t always sit where its energy system is best equipped to support them.
Europe’s AI ambitions depend on energy security. That means building computing infrastructure where energy and grid capacity are available.
@euiss.bsky.socialGradual integration is gaining ground to bring candidate countries closer to the EU before membership. As @ec.europa.eu explores this approach, Bojana Zorić sets out an "Integration Accelerator" for Ukraine, built on functional, political & societal integration.
@euiss.bsky.socialGo beyond boarding: Most detained vessels continue their journey after a few days or weeks. Europe should support the seizure of shadow fleet vessels and confiscation of their cargo.
Read the commentary by @casparhobhouse.bsky.social
@euiss.bsky.socialTarget the people running the fleet: questioning or even arresting captains and suspicious crew could provide intelligence, deter recruitment and raise the cost of operating the fleet. (5/6)
@euiss.bsky.socialWiden the legal toolbox: as reflagging makes boarding harder, Europe should explore other legal grounds for action, including the military use of civilian vessels (4/6)
@euiss.bsky.socialEurope needs new tools to keep up the pressure on this weak spot in Russia’s war economy. (3/6)
@euiss.bsky.socialMoscow is changing tactics, increasingly registering vessels under its own flag. The fleet is also becoming more militarised, with Russian warships escorting tankers and weapons appearing on deck. (2/6)
@euiss.bsky.socialNext steps in fighting Russia's shadow fleet European pressure has worked to partially draw the fleet out of the shadows. Now the fight is entering a new phase. (1/6) ⤵️
@euiss.bsky.socialEurope is heading into its toughest energy winter since 2022, with tight oil & gas markets and growing Russian threats to energy infrastructure.
It needs to prepare now, warns @casparhobhouse.bsky.social
@euiss.bsky.socialReposted by @euiss.bsky.socialFrance & Germany call for stronger EU tools against China's economic coercion & market distortions. @ruehlig.bsky.social & @aligarciaherrero.bsky.social propose reforming the Anti-Coercion Instrument so that a qualified majority is needed to block, not approve, its use. ow.ly/1p0650Yq7EC
