While the European Commission remains committed to concluding the Withdrawal Agreement, it is still possible that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union without a deal. As many EU and UK citizens have made their life choices based on rights related to free movement under EU law, a “no-deal” withdrawal can have harsh consequences on their lives. To protect social security rights related to situations before the withdrawal date, the Commission has proposed an EU regulation, which has already been approved by the European Parliament and the Council. In addition to the Regulation, we have worked with EU-27 Member States to ensure a common approach. More concretely, we have recommended that Member States use national, unilateral measures to, amongst other things, continue to export old-age pension to persons residing in the United Kingdom, and to address ongoing medical treatments. The Commission has also published information for citizens on living, working and travelling in the EU and the UK. Marianne Thyssen, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labour Mobility, said: “A “no-deal” is not the outcome we want, but it is a scenario we are preparing for. The millions of EU citizens who worked in the United Kingdom before the withdrawal will not lose these pension rights when retiring in the EU. Patients should be able to finalise ongoing medical treatment in the UK. Not everything will be smooth, but we will try to mitigate the negative impact of a “no-deal” Brexit. I believe that the Withdrawal Agreement remains the best possible outcome for everyone concerned, but the EU will put citizens first, whichever scenario occurs.” A range of factsheets can be consulted online and the text of the Contingency Regulation is available here. A press conference with Commissioner Thyssen, where further details of the EU's preparedness in the area of employment and social affairs will be presented, can be watched on EbS.

Europe is already a global leader in fighting climate change. European policies implemented over the last five years in all policy areas have put the EU on the right track to fully embrace the clean energy transition, seizing the economic opportunities that it offers, creating growth and jobs and a healthier environment for consumers. Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, in charge of the Energy Union, said: "The Energy Union is Europe at its best: tackling together the big energy security and energy transition we can't solve within national borders. From the daunting challenge of the energy transition we made an economic opportunity for all Europeans. To do this, we had to truly transform our energy and climate policies: not just tweaks at the margins but systemic change. No Member State could have delivered on its own. Our report shows how all the Energy Union measures combine to make our policy fit for the future." Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy Miguel Arias Cañete said: "Europe has now in place the world's most ambitious and advanced climate and energy framework. We agreed all the legislation to meet our 2030 targets, with higher targets for renewables and energy efficiency. But the Energy Union is more than rules and policies: we mobilised record levels of clean energy investments in Europe, we brokered the Paris Agreement and triggered its quick entry into force, we further integrated the European energy market, and we set a long-term vision for climate neutral Europe by 2050.” The report is accompanied by two documents showing progress made in renewable energy and energy efficiency. In parallel the Commission is also putting forward a report on the implementation of the strategic action plan on batteries and a communication for more efficient and democratic decision making in EU energy and climate policy. A press release and a Q&A are available online. More information can be found on the Website.(For more information: Anca Paduraru – Tel.: +32 229 91269; Anna-Kaisa Itkonen – Tel.: +32 229 56186; Lynn Rietdorf - Tel.: +32 229 74959) Plus de transparence dans les conditions et utilisation des données: Facebook répond aux demandes de la Commission européenne et des autorités de protection des consommateurs Aujourd'hui, la Commission européenne et les autorités de protection des consommateurs se félicitent des mises à jour des conditions et des services de Facebook. Ils présentent désormais clairement comment l'entreprise utilise les données de ses utilisateurs pour développer les activités de profilage et de ciblage des publicités qui la financent. Les nouvelles conditions détaillent également les services, basés sur l'utilisation des données de consommateurs, que Facebook vend à des tiers, comment les consommateurs peuvent fermer leurs comptes et pour quelles raisons un compte peut être désactivé. Ces modifications interviennent après des échanges visant à obtenir une présentation du modèle économique de Facebook dans un langage clair et exhaustif à l'intention de ses utilisateurs. Vera Jourová, commissaire en charge de la justice, des consommateurs et de l'égalité des genres, a salué l'accord: « Aujourd'hui, Facebook témoigne de son engagement en faveur d'une plus grande transparence et d'un langage clair et simple pour ses conditions d'utilisation. Une entreprise qui souhaite rétablir la confiance chez ses consommateurs ne peut se cacher derrière un jargon juridique et compliqué pour expliquer comment elle fait des milliards à partir des données de ses utilisateurs. Ces derniers comprendront désormais que leurs données sont utilisées par le réseau social pour vendre des publicités ciblées. En unissant leurs forces, les autorités de consommateurs et la Commission européenne montrent qu'elles s'engagent pour les droits des consommateurs européens. » Au lendemain du scandale Cambridge Analytica et à la suite de l'enquête menée sur les plateformes de médias sociaux en 2018, la Commission et les autorités nationales de protection des consommateurs ont demandé à Facebook d'informer clairement les consommateurs sur la manière dont le réseau est financé et les revenus sont générés par l'utilisation de données des consommateurs.

  • The Trade War and China's Oil and Gas Supply Security
    HIGH ANXIETY: THE TRADE WAR AND CHINA’S OIL AND GAS SUPPLY SECURITY BY ERICA DOWNS NOVEMBER 2019 “If Oil Supplies Are Cut Off, How Much Oil Does China Have?” —Cover of the June 15, 2019, issue of China Petroleum & Petrochemical1 “Is China’s Oil Supply Still Secure?” —Cover of the August 15, 2018, issue of China Petroleum & Petrochemical2 Introduction In summer 2018, China’s president Xi Jinping, facing pressure from the US-China trade war, intervened in a long-running debate within China’s oil industry about the extent to which national security concerns or market forces should determine domestic oil and natural gas production. Xi effectively tipped the scales in favor of advocates of prioritizing self-sufficiency over cost as part of a broader push for self-reliance amidst trade tensions. As a result, China’s national oil companies (NOCs) are accelerating investment in domestic exploration and production. While this ramp-up in spending is likely to result in an increase in output, especially of natural gas, it is unlikely to alter China’s substantial and growing reliance on oil and natural gas imports. However, the trade war probably will continue to contribute to shifts in the composition of China’s import portfolio, with both traditional and new suppliers gaining shares as a result of the slowdown in the flows of US liquified natural gas (LNG) and crude oil to China and decreases in deliveries of Iranian and Venezuelan crudes due to US sanctions. Xi instructed China’s NOCs to ramp up domestic exploration and production of oil and natural gas to enhance national energy security in July 2018.

    RussianStudiesHu 2021 JIANHUA ZHANG* A REVIEW OF AND REFLECTION ON THE STUDY OF RUSSIAN HISTORY IN CHINA (1878–2015)1 Born at the same time as the nation state and shaped by the world situation, the discipline of Russian history in China has, from its early days taken on three missions: scholarly interest, national responsibility, and academic duties. If we take A Brief Russian History, edited and translated by Lujiang Qijiren in 1878, as its starting point, this discipline has already had a history of 140 years in China. If we date this history back to Russian History, written by Lou Zhuangxing and published by Zhonghua Book Company in 1933, it is 85 years old. This 100- year period was a splendid era, when the discipline of Russian history forged ahead. While cherishing the arduous course of the discipline of Russian History2, it is indeed necessary to review and reflect on this century-old academic field and the research it has produced. Keywords: Discipline of Russian history, Chinese Russian Studies, first generation, second generation, third generation, Sino-Russian relations. Jianhua Zhang – Professor, Vice-President of Chinese Association of History of Russian Empire, Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Director of the Institute of World History, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, P.R.
