The debate over new sources of EU revenue is gathering pace, with Antonio Costa urging governments to find common ground. But there are more options on the table than the proposals currently being debated.

Chinese investment in Spain’s EV and battery sectors does not automatically translate into political leverage. @leemakiyama argues that Europe should assess risks carefully while keeping investment, regulation and competitiveness separate.

The @CMAgovUK wants to prevent Apple and Google from undermining alternative purchasing routes. But could this targeted remedy evolve into detailed oversight of fees, interfaces and commercial decisions?
