The European Ombudsman, Teresa Anjinho, stated on Wednesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that EU institutions must provide precise justification for “exceptions” to public access to documents, as it must be demonstrated that making certain information public would cause demonstrable harm.

European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, stated this Monday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the EU needs to develop an air defense system “with a robust anti-ballistic missile component” to address the new threats that have emerged with the Iran conflict.
During a breakfast organized in the EU capital by New Economy Forum, Kubilius warned that, in the current geostrategic landscape, the European Union “cannot face today’s challenges with yesterday’s solutions,” and therefore, “we need a change”.
Kubilus pointed out first that the US, under the Trump Administration, is turning its attention to the Indo-Pacific, and therefore Europe needs to take responsibility for its conventional defense.
European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, called on Monday at the Forum Europa in Brussels for a “common vision” in the space sector for both Member States and the European Commission and the ESA, so that “if the 27 invest in developing capabilities, these capabilities must be interoperable”.
This was the proposal championed by Andrius Kubilius at a breakfast organized in the EU capital by New Economy Forum, during which he offered some details of the plan for developing the European Space Shield, which the Commission is expected to publish in the second half of this year.
Kubilus advocated for a “holistic approach” in the space sector, since, he said, the Commission is working on different initiatives, such as the one aimed at secure satellite communications.
The European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, stated this Monday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the European Commission is “prepared to support all possible developments” in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), “including attracting foreign companies”.
Kubilus made this statement at a breakfast organized in the EU capital by New Economy Forum, during which he answered a question about the growing importance of Artificial Intelligence in the defense sector, and more specifically, its use in warfare.
Specifically, he was presented with the case of the US company Anthropic, one of the leading AI developers, which has been in conflict with the US Department of Defense because the firm refused to remove the ethical restrictions on its technology.
