The catalog includes passenger cars, medical devices, chemicals and plastics, and a slew of agricultural products.

BRUSSELS — The European Union wants its members to stop funding Russia's war in Ukraine. And it's done with asking nicely. An ambitious new strategy launched by the EU’s executive on Tuesday would, if implemented, effectively end Moscow's lucrative gas sales to the continent in 2027 and require gas firms to break contracts with the Kremlin. That sets the stage for a major showdown between Brussels and the handful of leaders still pushing Russian energy.

BRUSSELS — The European Union’s executive will soon unveil legislation to end all Russian gas imports by the end of 2027. The goal is at the core of a plan that the European Commission presented on Tuesday. The Commission said it will release legislation next month to ban new gas contracts with Russia — a prohibition that would kick in at the end of 2025 for short-term market purchases, and at the end of 2027 for long-term contracts.

W opublikowanym w poniedziałek raporcie Europejski Trybunał Obrachunkowy wyliczył, że jedna trzecia niezaawansowanych technologicznie czipów pochodzi z Chin. Trybunał ostrzegł, że Unia jest daleka od osiągnięcia własnego celu, czyli 20-procentowego udziału w globalnym łańcuchu wartości mikroprocesorów do 2030 r. — celu określonego w europejskim akcie o czipach z 2023 r. Miał on sprawić, że UE będzie mniej zależna od regionów zagranicznych.
