Political parties are foundational to liberal democracy, serving as intermediaries between public opinion and governance. All European Union (EU) Member States uphold the freedom of association, enabling citizens (and sometimes even EU mobile citizens) to engage politically through political parties. Many Member States enshrine fair political party competition as a cornerstone of democracy. However, history, such as Hitler's rise in Weimar Germany, illustrates how extremists can exploit political parties to abuse power and subvert democracies. To address the concerns of democracies being undermined through democratic processes, scholars have suggested measures that would allow democracies to defend themselves. Among the most significant, and also the most controversial, is the possibility of banning a political party. Such an extreme decision aims to strike a balance between protecting party pluralism and democracy. The precise moment at which democracy should intervene to protect itself has long been a subject of debate and contention. Nowadays, all EU Member States, at least theoretically, consider that banning a political party is a last resort measure against extremism, recognising its potential to safeguard liberal democracy. Notably, these bans can also affect EU democracy by influencing national electoral laws, which in turn affect European Parliament elections. National regulations on political parties can therefore have broader implications for EU-wide politics, highlighting the interconnectedness between Member States' legal orders and the EU's democratic framework. This briefing examines the theoretical and legal foundations of party bans, their implementation in EU Member States, and international recommendations concerning this measure.

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a process allowing complaints to be settled out of court with the assistance of an impartial dispute resolution body. Through ADR, consumers can settle a complaint against a trader for breach of contract, outside court procedures, assisted by impartial, neutral dispute mediation, arbitration or conciliation. Since 2013, the share of e commerce in the EU economy has increased significantly, up from 2 % to 4 % of EU gross domestic product (GDP), increasing the relevance of ADR for consumers. Each year, approximately 300 000 eligible disputes between consumers and traders are examined by ADR entities, with resolution rates between 17 % and 100 % across the Member States. On 17 October 2023, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a directive amending several directives pertaining to consumer rights and ADR. The proposal pursues three objectives, to: adapt the ADR legislative framework to digital markets; facilitate the use of ADR in cross-border disputes; and simplify ADR procedures. In the European Parliament, the file was referred to the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO). On 26 June 2025, the co-legislators reached a political agreement. This agreement was approved by Coreper on 16 July 2025. Pending confirmation by the IMCO Committee, work is ongoing to finalise the text of the act before the Council closes its first reading.

SINGAPORE — From 2026, CareShield Life will offer higher monthly cash payouts to help Singapore residents with severe disabilities cushion the fast-rising cost of long-term care.The payout growth rate will rise from the current two per cent a year to four per cent a year from 2026 to 2030. Consequently, those who make a claim in 2030, for instance, will get $806 a month instead of $731.Premiums for the national long-term care insurance scheme will need to rise, but the Government said it will provide an additional $570 million in premium support over the next five years to help policyholders offset the increases.These were among the key changes recommended by an independent CareShield Life Council led by Jeanette Wong, former group executive of DBS Bank. In conducting the review, the council consulted nearly 300 individuals, including caregivers, healthcare professionals, union leaders and community partners.«These enhancements to CareShield Life complement the broader suite of long-term care support measures announced at Budget 2025,» said a Ministry of Health (MOH) spokesperson at a media briefing on the review.
