“This is a tremendous blow. Our standard of living in Iceland is built on producing value and exporting it to foreign markets in the form of goods and services.

In this paper, we propose a multistep algorithmic method that enables us to determine the seat allocation for the European Parliament on a permanent basis applicable across various scenarios, including different numbers of Member States and their population sizes. According to the Lisbon Treaty, the allocation of seats must take into account a number of constraints regarding the minimum and maximum number of seats allocated to each Member State, the maximum size of the European Parliament, and degressive proportionality.

This briefing outlines recent and past developments concerning Romania's fiscal situation and the steps taken under the Excessive Deficit Procedure. On 4 June 2025, the Commission issued a recommendation stating that Romania had failed to take effective corrective action. The Council adopted a decision in this regard on 20 June. In July 2025, the Council required Romania to present measures by 15 October 2025; Romania has since adopted two fiscal packages. Because of the June Council decision, the Commission would be obliged to propose the suspension of payments or commitments under the ESI Funds and the RRF. This briefing reviews Romania's macroeconomic and fiscal situation (Section 1), EDP developments including fiscal packages adopted (Section 2), Country-Specific Recommendations (Section 3), EU funds at stake (Section 4), the legal framework for suspensions (Section 5), and the role of the European Parliament with lessons from the 2016 Spain-Portugal precedent (Section 6).

The United States (US) Defense Industrial Base (DIB) is the world's largest, comprising over 60 000 companies and 1.17 million employees. It is dominated by five major corporations – Lockheed Martin, RTX, General Dynamics, Boeing and Northrop Grumman – which together account for around one third of US Department of Defense (DoD) contracts and half of the revenue of the top 100 defence companies in the world. While the DIB sustains US technological dominance, it faces challenges linked to market consolidation, supply chain resilience and workforce shortages. The 2023 Biden administration's National Defense Industrial Strategy seeks to address these issues, among other things, through enhanced supply chain resilience, workforce development and flexible acquisition. However, experts expect vast changes, including for the DIB, in strategy under the new Trump administration's national defence strategy that is currently being developed. By contrast, the European defence technological and industrial base (EDTIB) remains fragmented, and has been under-invested in for decades. In 2024, EU defence spending reached €343 billion, roughly 2.5 times less than the US level (around €864 billion in 2024), with a large part of procurement sourced from the US. The 2024 European defence industrial strategy and the European defence industry programme aim to strengthen European defence industrial sovereignty, promote collaborative procurement, and emphasise a 'Buy European' approach. The European Parliament supports close EU–US cooperation but insists that EU programmes must primarily reinforce the EDTIB and increase strategic autonomy. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
