BRUSSELS:&nbsp;The European Union &quot;strongly condemns&quot; US sanctions imposed on five European figures involved in regulating tech companies, including former European Commissioner Thierry Breton, the Commission said Wednesday. The US State Department announced Tuesday it would deny visas to Breton and four activists, accusing them of seeking to &quot;coerce&quot; American social media platforms into censoring viewpoints they oppose. &quot;We have requested clarifications from the US authorities and remain engaged. If needed, we will respond swiftly and decisively to defend our regulatory autonomy against unjustified measures,&quot; said a statement from the Commission. &quot;Our digital rules ensure a safe, fair, and level playing field for all companies, applied fairly and without discrimination.&quot; The statement also said: &quot;Freedom of expression is a fundamental right in Europe and a shared core value with the United States across the democratic world. &quot;The EU is an open, rules-based single market, with the sovereign right to regulate economic activity in line with our democratic values and international commitments,&quot; the Commission said. French President Emmanuel Macron denounced US decision to deny visas to five European figures involved in regulating tech companies, saying the move amounted to &quot;intimidation&quot; and &quot;coercion&quot;. &quot;France condemns the visa restriction measures taken by the United States against Thierry Breton and four other European figures,&quot; Macron wrote on X. &quot;These measures amount to intimidation and coercion aimed at undermining European digital sovereignty,&quot; he added, saying Europe would defend its &quot;regulatory autonomy&quot;.

BEIJING: Brussels hit back Monday at China slapping duties of up to 42.7% on some dairy products from the European Union, calling the move &quot;unjustified.&quot;&nbsp;China&#39;s salvo on Monday is the latest in a trade spat with the EU that spans from food to electric vehicles.&nbsp;The &quot;duty deposits&quot;, which range from 21.9% to 42.7%, come into effect on Tuesday.&nbsp;They hit a range of items, including fresh and processed cheese, curd, blue cheese, and some milk and cream, the commerce ministry in Beijing said in a statement.&nbsp;Officials launched an anti-subsidy probe in August 2024 at the request of the Dairy Association of China. The probe will conclude in February.&nbsp;China&#39;s commerce ministry said Monday that preliminary findings showed a link between EU subsidies and &quot;substantial damage&quot; to its domestic dairy industry.&nbsp;European officials contested such conclusions.&nbsp;&quot;Our assessment is that the investigation is based on questionable allegations and insufficient evidence, and that the measures are therefore unjustified and unwarranted,&quot; a European Commission trade spokesman said.&nbsp;&quot;Right now, the Commission is examining the preliminary determination and will provide comments to the Chinese authorities,&quot; he added.&nbsp;The fees on EU dairy come a week after Beijing said it would impose anti-dumping levies on EU pork imports for five years.&nbsp;Those duties kicked in on Dec. 17 and range from 4.9% to 19.8%, down from temporary levies of 15.6% to 62.4% that had been in place since September.&nbsp;The two economic powerhouses have been locked in a trade spat fuelled by what many European countries view as an unbalanced economic relationship with China. Escalating spatThe current trade spat erupted in 2024 when the EU began moving towards imposing hefty tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, arguing that Beijing&#39;s subsidies were unfairly undercutting European competitors.&nbsp;Beijing denied that claim and announced what were widely seen as retaliatory probes into imported European pork, brandy, and dairy products.&nbsp;After the EU imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, Beijing forced EU brandy manufacturers to raise prices or face anti-dumping taxes of up to 34.9%.&nbsp;The EU ran a trade deficit of more than $350 billion with China in 2024.&nbsp;French President Emmanuel Macron said this month that Europe would consider adopting strong measures against China, including tariffs, if the trade imbalance was not addressed.&nbsp;Alongside trade frictions, China and the EU are at odds on issues such as Russia&#39;s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.&nbsp;The EU has urged China to exert pressure on Moscow to end the war, but Beijing has shown no sign of acceding.

BERLIN: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Tuesday he expected to soon end border controls after EU countries backed a significant tightening of Europe&#39;s migration policy.&nbsp;The new measures, supported by EU interior ministers in Brussels on Monday, include setting up &quot;return hubs&quot; outside the 27-nation bloc for failed asylum seekers.&nbsp;Merz said the plans meant that &quot;we will be able to shift border controls to Europe&#39;s external borders&quot; but without specifying when German border controls may be lifted.&nbsp;Germany first introduced border checks with its nine neighbours in September 2024 under former chancellor Olaf Scholz, aiming to curb irregular immigration and heighten security.&nbsp;Merz&#39;s government further tightened border checks when it took power in May, moving to boost police numbers and reject most asylum seekers as part of a crackdown on migration.&nbsp;Members of Europe&#39;s Schengen area are allowed to temporarily reintroduce border controls for up to two years in response to serious threats such as terrorism or large-scale unauthorised migration.&nbsp;Speaking in the western city of Mainz, Merz said that he had &quot;always considered the border controls to be something of limited duration&quot;.&nbsp;&quot;If a common European asylum policy is launched in the European Union, that will be exactly what we always wanted,&quot; he said.&nbsp;The new measures agreed in Brussels must still be approved by the European Parliament before coming into force.&nbsp;As well as return hubs outside the EU, they also threaten penalties for migrants who refuse to leave European territory, including longer periods of detention.&nbsp;Migrants could also be returned to countries that are not their countries of origin, but which Europe considers &quot;safe&quot;.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany may soon end border controls after EU interior ministers approved stricter migration measures, including return hubs outside the bloc, penalties for non-compliant migrants, and shifting controls to Europe’s external borders.

ISLAMABAD: Russia has expressed that the ongoing war rhetoric from Europe regarding the Ukraine conflict comes as no surprise.&nbsp; While speaking exclusively to Pakistan TV, Dir CIR Dr. Roxolana Zigon said, so-called military illusions have replaced genuine strategic insight within the European Union, particularly in its alignment with NATO over the past decades. This lack of foresight, she said, has weakened Europe&rsquo;s ability to play a decisive role in addressing global crises. Russian authorities emphasize that their concern is not merely with European statements but with the persistent unwillingness of European officials to pursue meaningful diplomacy. Analysts argue that this stubbornness underscores a larger geopolitical reality: between two global powers, the United States and the European Union, there is effectively only one superpower shaping international strategy, particularly in conflict zones such as Ukraine. The United States, under the &ldquo;America First&rdquo; doctrine and Trump administration, continues to assert itself as the dominant global force. In contrast, Europe&rsquo;s influence is perceived as steadily declining, particularly in military and diplomatic arenas related to the Ukrainian crisis. Recent peace talks in Geneva further illustrate this dynamic. Observers note that the U.S. appears to be gradually moving away from the Ukrainian agenda, step by step, leaving the European Union with limited leverage. For Russia, the combination of Europe&rsquo;s strategic missteps and America&rsquo;s dominant position on the global stage confirms a long-standing belief: true superpower status lies with Washington, not Brussels. European rhetoric, may grab headlines, but it does little to shift the balance of power or influence the unfolding events in Ukraine, said Dir CIR.

BERLIN: Europe must strive to lead in the AI race, top officials urged Tuesday at a summit focused on propelling the region to the forefront of the digital era and reducing its reliance on US tech titans.&nbsp;As the Berlin gathering got underway, the EU also announced that Amazon and Microsoft cloud services could face stricter competition rules in the bloc as Brussels probes their market power.&nbsp;The summit brought together leaders from Europe&#39;s tech sector, and was to be addressed by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron later Tuesday.&nbsp;&quot;Europe&#39;s goal is very simple: we want to lead, not follow, on AI and frontier technologies,&quot; European Commission digital chief Henna Virkkunen told the opening of the event.&nbsp;&quot;We have the market, we have the talent, we have the ambition. Now we must deliver scale in investment, innovation and uptake.&quot;&nbsp;Europe is responding to calls to blaze its own digital path and take steps to catch up in the AI race against China and the United States.&nbsp;Concerns about US tech dominance have also grown as ties with Washington become increasingly uneasy under the &quot;America First&quot; administration of Donald Trump.&nbsp;Despite the US-Europe tensions, a senior official from the French presidency said the summit was not about &quot;confrontation&quot; with the United States or even China.&nbsp;Rather it is about &quot;how we protect our core sovereignty and what rules need to be established, especially at the European level&quot;, said the official.&nbsp;&nbsp;Become a creatorAlso speaking at the opening, German Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger said that &quot;for too long, Europe has been mainly a customer and a bystander.&nbsp;&quot;Now we must become a creator&quot;.&nbsp;But the continent is &quot;not moving fast enough,&quot; he said, adding that &quot;regulation is too complex and infrastructure is still behind&quot;.&nbsp;His comments came a day before the EU was set to propose a rollback of its rules on AI and data protection -- a move welcomed by businesses, but criticised by privacy advocates.&nbsp;Virkkunen also announced the move against Amazon and Microsoft cloud services in Berlin, saying that twin investigations aim to assess whether the tech giants &quot;should be designated as the gatekeepers on cloud computing&quot;.&nbsp;The European Commission, the bloc&#39;s digital regulator, said it will investigate whether Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft&#39;s Azure should come under the scope of the Digital Markets Act (DMA).&nbsp;Efforts to build up &quot;sovereign&quot; EU cloud computing capabilities, which proponents argue would better protect Europeans&#39; data, were also being discussed in Berlin.&nbsp;Digital ministers from across Europe, as well as CEOs of tech firms like France&#39;s Mistral and Germany&#39;s SAP, were attending, and announcements on new digital initiatives were expected.

Europe challenges US tech giants at AI summit

BRUSSELS: The European Union&#39;s 27-member states struck a deal Wednesday on the bloc&#39;s next big emissions-cutting targets, after making overnight concessions to win over reluctant capitals in time for the UN&#39;s COP30 summit. EU countries have been haggling for months over two separate targets for slashing greenhouse-gas emissions: a 2040 goal intended as a milestone towards carbon-neutrality, and a related target that they must bring to the climate talks next week in Brazil. In marathon negotiations that ran most of the night, the bloc finally agreed to target a 90% cut in greenhouse-gas emissions by 2040, compared to 1990 levels, but countries will be allowed to count international carbon credits towards up to 10% of that goal. Major polluter&nbsp;Behind only China, the United States, and India in terms of emissions, the EU has been the most committed of the major polluters to climate action and has already cut emissions by 37% compared to 1990 levels. But after blazing a trail, the EU&#39;s political landscape has shifted right, and climate concerns have taken a backseat to defense and competitiveness -- with concerns in some capitals that greening Europe&#39;s economy is harming growth. Denmark, which holds the bloc&#39;s rotating presidency, worked through the night to win over the countries most skeptical of the proposed targets -- notably Italy. Unanimous deal&nbsp;The EU needed to win the support of a weighted majority of capitals for the 2040 climate target set out by the European Commission -- which implies sweeping changes to industry and daily life at a time of growing concern over adverse impacts on Europe&#39;s economy. Ministers also needed a unanimous deal on the EU emissions target for 2035, known as a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), which Paris Agreement signatories are supposed to bring to the COP30. That objective, set at between 66.25% and 72.5%, was also agreed overnight. <h2 style="line-height: 2;">&lsquo;Not pretty&rsquo;&nbsp;</h2>To win over the staunchest skeptics, Tuesday&#39;s talks covered a range of &quot;flexibilities&quot; for member states, including letting countries count carbon credits purchased to finance projects outside Europe. A commission offer for credits to account for up to three percent of a nation&#39;s 2040 emission cuts failed to win over hardliners, with countries eventually securing a higher threshold of 10%. Countries including Poland and Hungary also secured backing for a one-year delay, from 2027 to 2028, to the launch of a new EU carbon market for the road transport and industrial heating sectors -- which critics fear will drive up fuel prices. And in a further big concession, EU countries agreed for the overall 2040 objective to be reassessed every two years. &lsquo;Muddy, messy, nasty real world&rsquo;Environmental groups have accused countries of undermining the bloc&#39;s climate ambitions by pushing for a series of loopholes. But an EU diplomat, granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive deliberations, had defended the compromise taking form in Brussels, although it was &quot;not necessarily pretty&quot;. &quot;In the muddy, messy, nasty real world out there, we are trying to achieve something good,&quot; said the diplomat.

BRUSSELS: European Union member countries began rolling out a new entry and exit system on Sunday at the bloc&rsquo;s external borders, electronically registering non-EU nationals&#39; data. The Entry/Exit System (EES), an automated system that requires travellers to register at the border by scanning their passport and having their fingerprints and photograph taken, will be introduced over six months. The move is aimed at detecting overstayers, tackling identity fraud, and preventing illegal migration amid political pressure in some EU countries to take a tougher stance. &quot;The Entry/Exit System is the digital backbone of our new common European migration and asylum framework,&rdquo; European Internal Affairs and Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner said in a statement. SIX MONTHS TO ADJUSTNon-EU citizens will have to register their personal details when they first enter the Schengen area - all EU member countries apart from Ireland and Cyprus, but including Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. Subsequent journeys will only require facial biometric verification. The system should be fully operational, with passport stamping replaced with electronic records, on April 10, 2026. &quot;Every third country national who arrives at an external border will undergo identity verification, security screening, and registration in the EU databases,&quot; Brunner said, adding that &quot;the six-month rollout gives member states, travellers, and businesses time to transition smoothly to the new procedures&quot;. For British travellers using the Port of Dover, the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone, orthe&nbsp; Eurostar terminal at London&#39;s St Pancras International, the process will take place at the border before they leave the UK. At Dover and the Eurotunnel terminal, only freight and coach traffic will be subject to EES checks from Sunday. Passenger vehicle checks will follow in November at Dover and by the end of the year at Eurotunnel, while the Eurostar at St Pancras will gradually introduce the new process, starting with some business travellers from Sunday. &quot;We recognise that EES checks will be a significant change for British travellers, which is why we have worked closely with our European partners to ensure the rollout goes as smoothly as possible,&quot; British Minister for Border Security and Asylum Alex Norris said. &quot;The UK and EU have a shared objective of securing our borders, and these modernisation measures will help us protect our citizens and prevent illegal migration,&quot; Norris said.
