Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

WAKE UP!!! ⏰ We have already been further: The European Defence Community was on its way in 1952 - just two ratifications are missing, bring them in and the EDC would be in force! We propose to take the EDC as a starting point for a new way of thinking about security in Europe.

Preparing Intro to EU law again. This year only 1 new case, but a significant one: Case C-123/22 on Hungary's deficient asylum policy where the Court went beyond what the Commission applied for and imposed a € 1 000 000 daily penalty payment. In addition, 6 260(2) TFEU cases are currently pending.

This sounds great but the devil is not only in the detail of arranging PPPs & off-budget vehicles to ‘make the EU great again’. EU structures, rules & procedures exist to ensure democratic oversight and judicial backstop. We shouldn’t lose sight of these in the flight forward suggested in this oped

"Zelenskyy: 25 years ago, 130B+ cubic meters of gas flowed through Ukraine. Today, Russian transit is at zero. Moscow’s energy blackmail cost it Europe. Now, we support Moldova’s transformation and push for more U.S. gas to end dependence on Russia."

Truly nerdy. A new US paper repeats its view that WTO litigation can’t say whether an “essential security measure” is legal. It calls for a definitive interpretation to that effect. It suggests a “rebalancing” solution via nullification and impairment. I did warn you. docs.wto.org/dol2fe/Pages...

US sanctions on Russian banks, including Gazprombank, have led to a sharp drop in the ruble, now over 110 per dollar, the weakest level since March 2022. The new penalties target key channels of foreign-currency inflows, risking further economic strain as Russia faces growing FX shortages.
