French President Macron Urges EU-Wide Social Media Ban for Under-15s After Domestic Setback

French President Macron Urges EU-Wide Social Media Ban for Under-15s After Domestic Setback

French President Emmanuel Macron has formally requested that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen propose EU legislation to ban social media access for children under 15. This appeal follows France's own Constitutional Council striking down a similar national law in August, which had aimed to prevent children under 15 from opening social media accounts and required platforms to close existing ones. The Council ruled that the broad restrictions disproportionately limited freedom of expression and communication. Macron believes a harmonized European legislative text is essential to protect all children across the Union. His request comes as the European Commission is already developing its own EU-wide restrictions on children's access to social media, with various member states and the European Parliament holding differing views on the appropriate minimum age and parental consent requirements.

EU Diplomatic Service Halts New High-Level Defense Group Amid Member State Opposition

EU Diplomatic Service Halts New High-Level Defense Group Amid Member State Opposition

The European Union's diplomatic service has scrapped a newly announced high-level defense advisory group following significant opposition from several member states. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas had introduced the initiative just last week, aiming to gather political and military leaders to devise innovative solutions for Europe's defense needs. The group was intended to provide 'out-of-the-box solutions' to accelerate the fulfillment of defense gaps and enhance effectiveness. However, the launch event, scheduled for Monday in Brussels, was canceled on Sunday afternoon, with invitees receiving notification of the abrupt decision. Member states viewed the advisory body as an inappropriate direction, despite its purely consultative nature, lacking decision-making authority on behalf of member states. This move comes as the European External Action Service (EEAS) faces ongoing pressure, including efforts by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to increase her influence over the bloc's foreign poli...

Kyiv Post Criticizes Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov's Remarks on Serbia's EU Aspirations

The Kyiv Post has published an opinion piece strongly criticizing Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's recent comments regarding Serbia's pursuit of European Union membership. Lavrov, speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on September 3, stated that he was confident Serbia's desire to join the EU would 'disappear very soon,' categorizing it as 'inertia.' The Kyiv Post argues that such remarks demonstrate a long-standing Kremlin reflex of treating countries within its perceived sphere of influence as subservient, rather than sovereign states. The article emphasizes that Russia, through its actions in Ukraine, has forfeited any moral or political authority to dictate the foreign policy choices of other nations. It highlights Russia's history of aggression, including the annexation of Crimea and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as evidence of its disregard for international law and the sovereignty of independent states. The publication asserts that Serbia's decision to pursue EU members...
