Beslut om "Chat control" skjuts än en gång på framtiden. Ingen kvalificerad majoritet bland de 27 regeringarna för allmän skanning av digitala chattar. Därför plockas frågan bort från dagordningen när justitieministrarna träffas i Bryssel på måndag. dn.se/varlden/dodlag…

🇪🇺🇬🇧 Through my first set of meetings in Brussels. The praise for @Keir_Starmer is overwhelming: “What he has managed to do is not just good for him. It's good for all of us. Absolutely top notch. This is the UK at its best. The UK we have always admired.”

The EU is a simple game - 27 countries chase a ball and at the end, Ursula von der Leyen and someone from the Benelux always wins.

The hearing of Stéphane Séjourné is pretty boring but has two remarkable features: - He brought a visual aid with him (a rock) to make some point about critical raw materials - He didn't even refer to said rock until he was 190 minutes into a 180 minute hearing
