    1. European Law Identifier (ELI) and the European Case Law Identifier (ECLI), which provide technical specifications for Web identifiers and suggestions for vocabularies to be used to describe metadata pertaining to legal documents in a machine readable format. Notably, these ECLI and ELI metadata standards adhere to the RDF data format which forms the basis of Linked Data, and therefore have the potential to form a basis for a pan-European legal Knowledge Graph.

      ELI (european law identifier) ECLI (European case law identifier) technical specification for web identifiers suggested vocabularies for metadata goal : legal documents in machine readable format.

      But some counties don't have this implemted and that stands in the way of a pan-European legal Knowledge Graph.

    1. Konservative und liberale Kräfte versuchen gerade, auf EU Ebene weitere umweltgesetze zu blockieren. Frankreich, Italien und die Europäische Volkspartei agieren vor allem im europäischen Parlament entsprechend und damit gegen die Europäische Kommission und ihre Präsidentin. So scheiterte ein Gesetzesentwurf der Kommission zu den industrie-emissionen im Umweltausschuss. https://taz.de/EU-streitet-ueber-Umweltgesetze/!5934953/

    1. Österreich konnte demnach seine Abhängigkeit zwar verringern, liege aber noch immer weit über dem EU-Durchschnitt. Positiv hob die EU-Kommission hervor, dass der Anteil des russischen Gases in Österreich an den gesamten Importen 2022 rund 57 Prozent betrug - waren es im Jahr davor noch 80 Prozent

      Die EU-Kommission hat gemengelt, dass Österreich keinen klaren Plan hat, um sich von russischem Erdgasunabhängig zu machen. Unter anderem wird Österreich aufgefordert, schneller auf erneuerbare Energien umzusteigen.

    1. Die EU ist weit davon entfernt die Ziele für die Produktion von Grünem Wasserstoff zu erreichen, die sie sich selbst gesetzt hat. Auf dem Green Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam gingen Branchenvertreter davon aus, dass selbst die Hälfte der geplanten 10 Millionen Tonnen bis 2030 sehr ehrgeizig sind. Das EU-Ziel ergibt sich aus den Annahmen über den Bedarf der Stahl- und Düngerindustrie. https://www.ft.com/content/2c700128-9980-476e-904c-d0b78dd6b56a

    1. Poland’s ambition clearly aligns with America’s aim to shift Europe’s balance of power towards the “new Europe”, which explains why the US has been quick to lend it considerable support, even at the cost of sowing further divisions on the continent. “Poland has become our most important partner in continental Europe,” a senior US Army official in Europe told Politico. Significantly, after visiting Ukraine last month, Biden made only one other additional stop on his European trip: Warsaw.

      The problem with this approach is that Poland, while strategically important for the confrontation between the US and Russia, is not the EU's center -- France, Germany and the Benelux are. So Washington has to be very careful in terms of balancing its approach here so as to avoid exacerbating tendencies that are already centripetal, as reflected by Macron's reference to strategic independence.

    2. The most pronounced East-West cleavages, however, emerged along cultural lines, rather than economic or geopolitical ones. In 1993, Samuel Huntington was the first to predict that the Iron Curtain, which had politically and ideologically divided Europe for half a century, would be replaced by “the Velvet Curtain” of culture. Western Europe, he wrote, has been predominantly Catholic, Protestant, and Anglican, while Eastern Europe has been predominantly Orthodox — and this has led to the emergence of very different social values. Where Western Europe developed a more individualistic and secular culture that values “liberal” rights and freedoms, Eastern Europe has historically had a more collectivist and family-oriented culture, with a greater emphasis on family, community, social relationships and religion. Following the Cold War, the CEE states strove to be more politically and socially aligned with the West. But key differences remained on issues such as immigration, abortion and gay rights, as well as over national sovereignty.

      This seems somewhat overstated. The two main countries in the CEE who are most prone to cultural and political conflict with Eastern Europe are Hungary and Poland, neither of which is Orthodox. Eastern Europe is more conservative on social issues, but the reason for the conflict isn't about a difference in religion per se -- Greece is Orthodox and has no such conflict with the EU or its social policy.

    1. Das Europäische Parlament hat entschieden, dass Produkte wie Kaffee und Kakao aus Gebieten, die nach 2020 entwaldet würden, nicht in die EU importiert werden dürfen. Die Unternehmen sind dafür verantwortlich, dass ihre Lieferketten kontrolliert werden können. Laut WWF ein bedeutender, aber bei weitem nicht nicht ausreichender Schritt zu Schutz von Waldgebieten und Indigenen.

    1. The EU is considering whether the potential successor of PSD2 (PSD3), should be a regulation as opposed to a directive. Regulations are directly incorporated into member state law, which would shorten the timespan in which the PSD2 successor becomes effective law and promote increased standardization across member states. But there’s still a long way to go until this legislative process will be completed.
    1. Bei seinem Besuch in Amerika wird Emmanuel macron vor allem über die Konsequenzen des Inflation reduction act für die europäische Wirtschaft sprechen. Die US-Regierung wird den Übergang zu sauberen Energien so subventionieren, dass die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette in den USA bleibt. Macron behandelt das einerseits als ein unfreundlichen Akt und setzt sich andererseits für entsprechende Subventionen in Europa ein. Der Artikel in der Libération erwähnt auch die geopolitische Dimension dieses interessenkonflikts, weil Europa auf das amerikanische Engagement für die Ukraine angewiesen ist

    1. EuropäischervUnion und G7 gelingt es bisher nicht, eine Obergrenze für den Preis russischen Rohöls zu fixieren. Relevant dafür ist der eigene Bedarf an Öl, den man nicht eingreifend reduziert, so dass man daran interessiert ist, den Weltmarktpreis möglichst niedrig zu halten. Außerdem spielen die Interessen der Staaten, die von Reedereien abhängig sind, eine große Rolle.

    1. Vertreter:innen der EU-Staaten könnten sich nicht auf eine Preisobergrenze für russisches Rohöl einigen. Vorgeschlagen wurde die Grenze von den G7-Staaten. In Europa tritt am 5. Dezember ein Boykott russischer Öltanker in Kraft. Die Obergrenze ist aber für Lieferung an Drittländer mit Tankern und Versicherungsschutz aus Europa relevant.

      USA and UE are facing challenges with transatlantic data flows , with Ukrainian crises The situation became more difficult. In order to reinstate leadership in AI policy, the United States should advance the policy initiative launched last year by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and Strengthening efforts to support AI Bill of rights .

    1. ReconfigBehSci. (2021, November 26). vaccine equity has been a disaster, but I do wonder whether the exclusive focus on donations does the US/EU comparison justice. The EU allowed the export of huge numbers of EU produced doses at a time when the US did not (and EU itself was struggling to meet demand).
