Timmermans to quit as EU climate czar as he returns to Dutch politics

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:33 GMT

Frans Timmermans, the chief architect of Europe’s Green Deal, will resign from the Commission as he seeks to become Dutch prime minister. A Commission official told POLITICO on Tuesday that Timmermans would quit after a left-wing alliance formally chose him as its lead candidate for the upcoming Dutch parliamentary election. His departure leaves a big hole in a crucial portfolio in the European Commission, complicates the final push on the bloc’s Green Deal legislation and creates a headache for the caretaker Dutch government.Members of the Labor and Green parties — which will contest the November 22 general election on a joint ticket — backed Timmermans by a 91.8 percent margin. The party vote opened on August 14 and closed at noon Tuesday. The climate commissioner was the sole nominee to become the coalition’s candidate for prime minister. Timmermans leaves open three powerful positions in the Commission; existing commissioners will have to jostle for t...

18 people die in Greek forest amid raging wildfires

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:33 GMT

Eighteen dead bodies have been found in a Greek forest, as wildfires that have swept parts of the country during a ferocious heat wave turned deadly. The charred remains were found near the national park of Dadia, roughly 10 kilometers away from the Turkish border in the northeast of Greece. The area is a frequent entry point for migration said Yannis Artopios, Greek fire brigade spokesperson, adding that an identification team has already been tasked to investigate the deaths.“Given that there have been no reports of disappearances or missing residents from the surrounding areas, the possibility of people who entered the country irregularly is being investigated,” Artopios said about the corpses, according to Greek outlet Ekathimerini. Dozens of hospital patients had to be evacuated onto a ferry in the port city Alexandroupoli earlier Tuesday, after a fire broke out on Saturday. On Sunday, five Greek villages near the Turkish border were evacuated and on Monday Greek a...

French publishers accuse Elon Musk of trying to dodge EU copyright rules

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:33 GMT

PARIS — French press publishers are accusing Elon Musk of using new features on X, formerly known as Twitter, to avoid paying for copyright-protected content. X is expected to remove headlines and text from news stories shared on the platform, according to Fortune. Musk confirmed the move and claimed the reason behind it was “aesthetics.” In France, however, representatives for press publishers see it as a “coarse attempt to evade neighboring rights.”The EU’s copyright directive allows the press industry to seek remuneration when its content is displayed on online platforms. Canada drafted similar, albeit stricter, rules forcing Meta and Google to pay news publishers for content, leading to an ongoing tug-of-war with the U.S. tech giants. In France, after years of tense talks, media companies eventually inked deals with Google and Meta — but not Twitter. Twitter has long argued, even before the world’s richest man took over, that the company is not ...
