Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The continent of the next decade: Why Europe needs Africa
Q: What practical steps can solidify this partnership on the ground?
Invest in African ownership, support local institutions, streamline private investment, focus on high-impact projects like energy corridors and food systems, and improve governance and security through long-term commitments and conditional, yet flexible, investment conditions.
The continent of the next decade: Why Europe needs Africa
Q: Why is now the right moment for resetting EU-Africa relations?
Because geopolitics are shifting globally and Africa's young, urbanizing population makes it a key future market and energy supplier; a partnership of equals is required to capture these opportunities and manage competition from other powers.
No time to lose: Closing Europe's blind spot on child online safety
Q: What are the key differences between the directive, the regulation, and the interim measures, and how do they fit together?
The directive sets minimum EU-wide criminal definitions and standards, the regulation addresses detection and enforcement mechanisms (including a future European CSAM center), and interim measures provide a temporary legal base to retain action until the permanent framework is finalized.
No time to lose: Closing Europe's blind spot on child online safety
Q: Mr. Lenaers, can you explain why there were interim rules and why there was pressure to extend them quickly?
Interim rules existed to ensure there was a legal basis for voluntary platform detection and takedown while a permanent regulation was being drafted; extending them was essential to avoid a dangerous gap that would leave victims unprotected.
The Kremlin’s Secret Lists: How Russia Targets Europe
Q: What are the most pressing challenges coming from Russia in this context?
The guests describe election interference, bot campaigns, and the organized disinformation ecosystem, plus the need to study and counter self-censorship and protect democratic processes.
