Parliamentary question | Answer for question E-000832/25 | E-000832/2025(ASW) | European Parliament Answer for question E-000832/25

I imagine being in @europarl.europa.eu , asking the Commission for info about #GlobalGateway and getting these non-answers ("read the website", "wait for our annual report in December for information about 2024") after waiting more than a month: www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...

The current resistance to the #shippinglevy is not apposing opposition to the levy... "it is a question of its design, who bears the real burden, whether it is disproportionate, and how revenues are spent to mitigate unwanted impacts".

Reports | Financing for Sustainable Development Office

A highly recommended read about the complex issue of financing sustainability. Glad to see it transcend the narrow perspective and include “orphan” issues such as structural enablers of finance like a functioning global tax regime, industrialisation, etc.

The EU’s ticking debt bomb — and why it matters for its next budget Repayment of the EU’s €300 billion joint borrowing hangs like a cloud over the European Commission’s budget brainstorm.

The EU institutions are the largest Official Development Assistance (ODA) providers to Africa within the EU & Africa is the largest recipient of ODA from the EU institutions. This development is concerning. We have a couple of years to prepare, why not begin now...
