This year, #France is really taking a slap in the face from #ClimateChange. Three deadly heatwaves, and now my home city, #ClermontFerrand, is draped in smog from the forest fires raging 450km away on the Atlantic coast.
Köln's #Stadtbahn has some lovely stations. This is my favourite (Heumarkt). The industrial design is lovely. I'd also add that #Stadtbahn's are an underrated form of public transport. #koeln
The good news: @europeansleeper's Night Train from Prague to Brussels was comfy. I got a good continuous 5 hours sleep, and the train is sold out and completely full. Bad news: @db Netz did not properly register the train path and reserve the track so we are […] [Original post on eupolicy.social]
Henna opens by defining tech sovereignty, not as protectionism, but as not being dependent on "one company or one country", and being able to make its own choices. She highlights geopolitics and tech now go hand in hand. She highlights the fact that […] [Original post on eupolicy.social]
In these negotiations, I think we really managed to punch above our weight and get a result that is great for Open Source Communities. I'm also massively grateful to the French Presidency of the G7 for the support and backing they provided us. At a time […] [Original post on eupolicy.social]

Negotiations wrapped up with a lovely dinner organised by the French Presidency in the Garden of the Musée Rodin, which is a real treat for anyone who loves sculptures (or Champagne!)

I'd also add that, while we had some disagreements with some delegations, I'm delighted to report that all delegations took our concerns seriously, regularly taking them back to their capitals. On a personal level, everyone was also really nice (especially […] [Original post on eupolicy.social]
For each of the three in-person sessions in Paris, negotiations spanned two days (although the final round of negotiations spanned 3 and went on late into the night). These were augmented by multiple online sessions. The French Presidency were extremely […] [Original post on eupolicy.social]
In February of this year, we got an interesting call from the French Presidency of the G7: they had noticed there was a lack of clarity around AI openness, and they wanted to do something about it. Usually, they would rely on an institutional knowledge […] [Original post on eupolicy.social]
In advance of the celebration of #pride, the @EUCommission raised the pride flag in front of the Berlaymont. #UnitedInDiversity #EU #LGBTQ
His Majesty the king or Belgium cordially invites you to the Europe Day rave at the royal palace
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the 🇪🇺 #EuropeDay #EUpol
