Obviously, there are benefits to joint regulation at the EU level. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t focus on the burdens too.

Denmark warns new EU red tape could cost €124bn a year Also in this newsletter: A closer look at the EU’s battery financing promises

Incoming new EU rules could add up to €124.2bn in additional compliance costs per year for businesses and public administration, according to an estimate by the the Danish presidency @eu2025dk.bsky.social, writes @paolatamma.bsky.social: www.ft.com/content/8508... #dkpol #competition #dkøko #eudk

The British trade deal wasn't what they said it was, the Vietnamese are still yet to confirm Trump's announcement, and the Japanese say they're not signing a binding agreement. The White House has released the text of ZERO (0) deals, and maybe it's all just social media posts all the way down.

Cracks widen in Japan and US’s interpretation of tariff trade deal Tokyo officials contest Washington’s claim that American investors assured of vast share of profits from joint investment

Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington — and no legally binding one would be drawn up — after Trump administration officials claimed Tokyo would back investments in the US 🤷‍♂️: www.ft.com/content/c118... #trade

Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks.

It shows cardinals casting ballots, voting thresholds, and black or white smoke signals used to indicate the election outcome. Icons represent cardinals and different stages are marked, leading up to the pope's election.

The death of Pope Francis sets in motion a carefully orchestrated transition aimed at ensuring the stability and continuity of the Roman Catholic Church.
