European companies must compete across each supply-chain segment, whereas Chinese state firms can produce raw materials at a loss and thereby bolster battery-makers downstream

🇪🇺 companies are not competing against individual 🇨🇳 companies – but against entire supply chains

Recharge or regret: Why the EU must act decisively to secure Europe’s struggling battery industry
Northvolt’s near-collapse demonstrates why the EU needs an economic security doctrine to identify where in the battery supply chain Europe can create winners – and then go all-in for success. If Europ...

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.

Nous sommes à deux doigts de capituler (ce que Moscou appelle négociations), contraints par notre incapacité à admettre la nature fasciste de la Russie de 2023 et notre incapacité à fournir l'aide nécessaire aux ukrainiens. C'est triste mais déjà vécu en 2015...

People keep asking whether Meloni’s record in office suggests that Le Pen may be less of a threat than some claim. The short answer is no. Le Pen poses a greater threat than Meloni, above all to the EU and the transatlantic alliance

Marine Le Pen poses a greater threat than Giorgia Meloni
At least to the European Union and the transatlantic alliance

Dutch central bank president Klaas Knot: European public goods require European financing, either by EU taxes, Euro bonds or higher national contributions to the EU budget. I'm pragmatic. Although more debt at the European level would have to mean lower debt at national level. fd.nl/economie/149...
Knot: 'Ja, er is stagflatie. Maar wel met volledige werkgelegenheid'
De eurozone is in het gevreesde stagflatiescenario terechtgekomen: nauwelijks groei, wel inflatie. Klaas Knot, president van De Nederlandsche Bank, waarschuwt voor te veel pessimisme.

It’s really nice to hear from German DefMin Pistorius that he wants to go “all in” and pledge more than 35k troops, 200 jets, frigates, corvettes, and more to NATO’s New Force Model.

But given Germany’s stretched resources even to set up the 4k brigade to Lithuania, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Deutschland sagt Zehntausende Soldaten für NATO-Strategie zu
"Wir gehen de facto all in": Verteidigungsminister Pistorius hat der NATO Zehntausende deutsche Soldaten für die neuen Verteidigungspläne zugesagt. Auch Flugzeuge und Fregatten sollen bereitstehen.
