EU lawmakers endorse pact to revise migration rules

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:38:44 GMT

EU lawmakers on Thursday gave the green light to a central plank of the EU’s flagship migration package, the latest sign of progress on long-stalled reforms. The European Parliament measure endorses new rules seeking to speed up the return of migrants who entered Europe without permission and to prevent these migrants from traveling to other countries within the EU.And it strikes a middle ground on the contentious question of whether countries will be required to take in asylum seekers from fellow EU members — a step EU border countries traditionally favor but others often oppose. The approved text only foresees such “mandatory relocations” in emergency situations, which Brussels would determine, with all other relocations being voluntary.“This is the most important shift to make sure that we can come to an agreement with member states,” said MEP Tomas Tobé, one of the lawmakers leading on the legislation for the center-right European People’s Party (EPP), referencing the ...

Top EU court condemns Poland over noise pollution

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:38:44 GMT

The Court of Justice of the EU Thursday condemned Poland for failing to implement EU noise pollution law at the national level. The Environmental Noise Directive establishes recommended maximum noise levels and asks countries to collect data on noise. It also requires governments to develop action plans to tackle noise pollution, including for areas where the recommended levels were not exceeded. Warsaw failed to adopt noise action plans for such areas within the required timeframe, the court found. The government also failed to translate into national law a requirement that these plans include measures to preserve “quiet areas,” it said.According to the court, the country also has not drawn up the required action plans for 13 major railways and 247 major roads, and has not submitted summaries of action plans for 16 other major roads. The European Commission’s Zero Pollution Action Plan sets the goal of reducing the share of people “chronically disturbed by tr...

LONDON — The U.K.’s security minister warned this morning that the country had to beat its rivals in the AI race, warning hostile states and criminals would use the technology to look for chinks in the U.K.’s cybersecurity armor.Speaking at the CyberUK conference in Belfast, Tom Tugendhat said the next level of AI, artificial general intelligence (AGI), was coming and it was “not hard to see” future AGI coding weapons.“It is essential that by the time we reach the development of AGI we are confident that it can be safely controlled and aligned to our values and interests,” he told delegates.“Given the stakes we can all understand calls to stop AI development altogether but the genie will not go back in the bottle,” he said. “Putin has a long-standing strategic interest in AI. China with its vast data sets and fierce determination is a strong rival.”But he added that AI also threatened authoritarian regimes and the U.K. was one of the few liberal, democratic countries which could lea...
