Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

A senior Israeli diplomat has urged Europe to treat his country with “respect” and stop “meddling” in its politics if it wants to maintain good relations with Israel and play a role in shaping the Middle East peace process.

“The European Union should realise that Israel is a player and a partner, and should be treated fairly,” ambassador Yossi Amrani, political director at Israel’s foreign ministry, told Euractiv in an interview in Brussels. He chastised European politicians who, he said, believed they can “pressure” Israel with sanctions and other tactics.

“The EU is not the United States of America, and I’m not sure the United States, in dealing with Israel, is using the term ‘pressure,’” he said. “If you respect a partner, you discuss and negotiate with a partner. You don’t pressure, you don’t threaten.”

Source information

Euractiv is an independent pan-European media network specialised in EU affairs, established by its founder Christophe Leclercq in 1999. Its reporting is constructive yet critical, following EU policy processes from idea to implementation, as well as the most important news on the ground in Europe’s capitals, and beyond.

Euractiv has diversified sources of funding, as the company seeks private and public revenues to run its business. In 2019, about a fifth of Euractiv's income came from public sources, including the EU.

In May 2023, Euractiv was acquired by Belgian media company Mediahuis in what became the company's first international media platform acquisition.

Mediahuis (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmeːdijaːˌɦœys]; lit. 'Media House') is a European multinational newspaper and magazine publishing, distribution, printing, television, radio and online media company founded in 2014 with assets in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg and Germany.

Since January 2018, Christophe Leclercq is one of the experts on the High-Level Expert Group (HLEG) on disinformation. He leads the new projects #Media4EU and Stars4Media (Erasmus4Media). He also teaches notably at Institut d’Etudes Européennes/ULB (Brussels).

Previously, Mr. Leclercq was EU Commission official with DG Competition (coordinator for Information Society). Before that, he was a management consultant with McKinsey, founder of the EuroManagers job fair, and market research manager at Renault Deutschland.

Christophe Leclercq (born 24 February 1967) is a French politician from En Marche.

Renaissance (RE) is a political party in France that is typically described as liberal and centrist[28] or centre-right.[29] The party was originally known as En Marche ! (EM)[a][30] and later La République En Marche ! (transl. The Republic on the Move,[31][32][33] LREM, LaREM or REM), before adopting its current name in September 2022.[34] RE is the leading force of the centrist Ensemble coalition, coalesced around Emmanuel Macron's original presidential majority.
