C’est à midi ce mercredi 18 février que devait entrer en vigueur un cessez-le-feu entre le gouvernement congolais et l’AFC/M23. La date et l’heure avaient été annoncées le 9 février à Luanda par le président angolais João Lourenço, à l’issue d’une rencontre avec le président togolais Faure Gnassingbé, médiateur de l’Union africaine, l’ancien président nigérian Olusegun Obasanjo, le président congolais Félix Tshisekedi. Neuf jours plus tard, cette nouvelle tentative s’inscrit dans une série d’initiatives restées sans effet. Un énième cessez-le-feu qui, au-delà de son entrée en vigueur annoncée, se heurte une fois encore à la question de la confiance entre les parties.

The future of European industry and its role in strengthening the security of the European Union were the main topics of the third meeting of representatives of EU institutions, Member States and business, held in February in Antwerp.

CONTEXT

The European Union’s competitiveness and prosperity depends on an optimal allocation of resources, particularly savings, within the single market, yet EU capital markets remain fragmented. EU rules are mostly set out through directives, leaving Member States’ supervisory authorities latitude in their interpretation and application of the rules. Therefore, although rules are enacted at EU level, the resulting uneven supervisory environment is considered a major cause of fragmentation of EU capital markets. EU-level supervision and regulation thus constitute instruments to ‘de-fragment’ – i.e. ‘integrate’ – the EU’s capital markets.

On 4 December 2025, the European Commission issued a package of three proposals to address this situation (the ‘Market integration package’), as part of its savings and investments union strategy. The proposal to amend 14 regulations – entitled the ‘Master regulation’ by the Commission – would primarily transfer supervisory powers to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in some specific markets and areas, strengthen its coordination instruments, and modify its governance. This proposal also aims at removing barriers to cross-border activities and trading.

À Genève, c’était la suite et la fin ce mercredi 18 février dans la matinée des pourparlers entre l’Ukraine et la Russie sous l’égide des États-Unis, sur la guerre en Ukraine. Il n’y aura pas de miracle ni de surprise :  ces discussions se sont achevées sans avancées majeures, mais le dialogue a eu lieu. C'est d’ailleurs ce que retiennent les Américains. Il devrait se poursuivre.

We take a look at the policy frameworks and aid spending practices of four European aid donors (Germany, France, the EU Institutions and the UK) in the years following the 2010-11 Arab Uprisings. We identify some lessons that might help development aid donors do better next time democracy needs supporting in the MENA region and potentially elsewhere, which we believe it will despite the current trend towards oligarchy and authoritarianism. These include: coordinate policy and operations better, support democratic actors and processes directly, practice what you preach, and most importantly have the courage to stand up for your principles when challenged to do so - as you inevitably will be.
