Europe’s Chemicals Omnibus is an opportunity to address persistent challenges for the fragrance value chain. The Commission has offered clear, science-based fixes – the Council has not. We urge the European Parliament to secure practical simplification based on scientific, technical, economic and logistical feasibility, supported by fair timelines and clear rules, to preserve the safety and effectiveness of Europeans’ favourite products.

Written by Anne Altmayer.

CONTEXT

The purpose of the proposed regulation is to implement into EU law a number of measures adopted by several regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) by amending the respective existing legislation. The proposal aims to speed up the implementation procedure by bundling amendments to several regulations into one legislative text. Moreover, in view of certain future amendments, the proposal includes requests to empower the European Commission to adopt delegated acts.

Violent conflict in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has resulted in population displacement, psychological trauma, and the destruction of livelihoods, which has hindered economic growth. These events have increased in frequency and severity over time in the region. Violent conflict disrupts children’s human capital accumulation through widespread malnutrition and the disruption of social and emotional skills that should have been acquired in early childhood. This study aims to estimate the relationship between early-life exposure to violent conflict and children’s human capital formation (focusing on child health, nutrition, and schooling) in four selected SSA countries since 2003. Using nationally representative Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) merged with georeferenced conflict data, the study finds that children exposed to violent conflict, measured by the number of fatalities, experience reduced human capital formation, including stunted growth, underweight status, and lower educational outcomes. Specifically, children in households exposed to violent conflict have higher dropout rates (given their enrollment) and experience delays in completing primary school. Furthermore, the impact of conflict on long-term malnutrition is particularly pronounced among young children and those living in rural areas. Limited access to health facilities during or after conflict, disruptions in livelihoods and/or markets that result in deprivations in the dietary intake of children and mothers, and the place of residence appear to be the underlying mechanisms.

Il y a trente ans, les accords de paix de Dayton mettaient fin à la guerre en Bosnie. Mais ils ont aussi instauré une structure de gouvernance complexe, dont le pays n’a pas encore réussi à s’affranchir. Aujourd’hui, si la paix tient, le système politique issu de 1995 reste largement figé. Pour de nombreux analystes, la stagnation du pays sur la voie de l’adhésion à l’UE tient moins aux contraintes de Dayton qu’à l’incapacité de Bruxelles à offrir une perspective crédible, freinant les réformes et rendant incertaines les promesses d’élargissement du bloc communautaire.

Au lendemain de la révision de la Constitution adoptée le 15 novembre 2025, le gouvernement béninois a lancé une vaste tournée nationale de vulgarisation du nouveau texte fondamental. L'initiative vise à expliquer aux populations les changements majeurs introduits et à renforcer leur compréhension du nouveau cadre institutionnel.

Une tournée de vulgarisation de la nouvelle Constitution se déroule dans l'ensemble des 77 communes du pays. Les séances rassemblent entre autres les chefs religieux, chefs coutumiers, associations professionnelles (artisans, transporteurs, commerçants…) et les leaders communautaires. Cette tournée vise à permettre aux populations de s'approprier les nouvelles dispositions constitutionnelles, de comprendre les raisons des réformes et d'en mesurer les implications sur la vie politique, locale et nationale. La campagne constitue une étape clé dans la mise en œuvre de la Constitution révisée, en assurant transparence, pédagogie et participation citoyenne.

L'Assemblée nationale a adopté, le 15 novembre 2025, par 90 voix pour, 19 contre et 0 abstention, la loi portant révision de la Constitution. Le texte, qui introduit 15 nouveaux articles et modifie 18 autres, marque l'une des réformes institutionnelles les plus profondes depuis l'adoption de la Constitution de 1990.

Innovations majeures

– La création du Sénat, deuxième chambre du Parlement, appelé à « réguler la vie politique » et à approfondir l'équilibre institutionnel.
– L'allongement du mandat présidentiel à 7 ans, renouvelable une seule fois.
– La fin du nomadisme politique à l'Assemblée nationale, assortie d'un mandat parlementaire également porté à 7 ans.
– L'extension de la durée des mandats des élus locaux à 7 ans, afin d'assurer une meilleure stabilité dans la gouvernance territoriale.
Ces réformes visent à moderniser les institutions et à consolider la stabilité politique.

At a meeting in Geneva, representatives from Ukraine, the European Commission and several European countries negotiated with US officials over changes to the 28-point plan.
