How can the Emissions Trading System (ETS) work for decarbonisation, resilience and competitiveness? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The adverse impacts of fossil fuels on the European economy and society have never been clearer. Carbon emissions drive climate change, an existential threat to Europeans’ prosperity and livelihoods. As the EU has limited domestic gas and oil resources, it relies on imports, making it vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and higher energy prices. The implicit dangers of the EU’s dependence on global oil and gas markets have been evident during major geopolitical crises since the 1970s, and mor
EU–Iceland Relations After the Referendum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On 29 August 2026, Icelanders voted against renewed negotiations with the European Union (EU) over membership in a referendum. This Nordic island nation of 400.000 inhabitants is a friendly partner: a democratic country of shared values, a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), and, more recently, a ‚security and defence partner of the EU. Iceland might have embarked on becoming the Union’s smallest member, albeit with a GDP around 25 per cent above the EU average. However, given the sensit
How to finance Europe's defence surge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
European countries need to raise at least an additional €1 trillion to meet their NATO commitment to raise core defence spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2035 and an additional 1.5% for defence-related infrastructure and resilience.

There is, hence, an urgent need for more resources than many EU countries’ budgets can provide at a time when government borrowing costs have risen
People-centred public procurement: a strategic investment for wellbeing and long-term public value (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Public procurement decides who benefits, who is excluded, and how fairly the costs and gains of public spending are shared across generations. This MERGE’s policy brief argues that the EU should use this two-trillion-euro lever deliberately to advance sustainability, social inclusion and gender equality, moving away from defaulting to the lowest price. Public authorities across the EU spend over €2 trillion a year, roughly 15% of GDP. The brief, based on the Policy Lab organised with contributio
The EU’s response to Ceuta: the first stress test after the Pact reforms? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The entry of an estimated 60,000 people – mainly of Moroccan origin - into the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla has triggered a major political drama. The sheer scale overwhelmed the Spanish authorities, while speculation about the causes has dominated early reporting and political debate. At the same time, the incident has been seized to justify further changes before current rules on solidarity and border pressures have been stress-tested. Following vigorous debate and accusations via let
