Thank you for that long write-up! I’m glad to see more progress. I’ll keep an eye on defense news

“The Commission has identified solutions for a simple and predictable implementation,” the Commission document said.

One option would let companies comply using certificates bought from a third-party verifier, which would assign the imported gas an emissions value at its production location.

The second option is a “trace and claim” method, in which volumes of fuel are assigned a digital ID, which is attached to all sale and purchase agreements as the oil or gas moves through the value chain from producer to, eventually, the final buyer.

The changes do not amend the main requirements of the methane law - which will become increasingly strict over time. From 2027, it will make compliance with methane rules equivalent to those of the EU a requirement for new gas supply contracts.

I don’t really read this as “offering simpler rules”. It looks like they’re explaining how to verify the origin of methane after the US falsely claims it would be impossible.

I’d like to learn more about the progress on the rearmament of Europe. Do you have any long form resources I could read?

I only hear bits and pieces about the slow progress. I remember hearing the goal that the EU would produce X amounts of ammunition per year. Did that happen? I also recently heard about Ukraine opening a factory in Denmark. That seems good, but still not the broad rearmament I’ve been wanting to see.

Are there good overviews, with some stats and maybe some nice looking graphics? I realize a lot is secret, but still.

Edit: I decided not to be a lazy bum and did my own googling. I found this testimony about the “Danish Model” by a member of CSIS. I learnt that Ukraine has capacity to produce $35B of military equipment per year, but only $6B to spend. Other countries are purchasing another $10B worth of military equipment per year from Ukrainian producers. This is the Danish model.

You can edit PDFs on libre?

I’m a bit confused. The case seems to be about sexual harassment and unpaid wages. The part about selling pardons doesn’t seem relevant to that. To my understanding it’s not illegal to sell pardons, it’s just highly unethical and corrupt.
