It's a good day for obscure international courts, as the often neglected EFTA Court made front-page news in Norway over its judgment in the Norwegian State v Greenpeace Nordic.
The head of #Greenpeace Norway is quoted calling the #EFTA Court "the most important tribunal Norway must deal with as an #EEA country". While the validity of this claim could be questioned, it is certainly more true today than it was yesterday.
Sadly, not plausible. The #EEA on the other hand is achievable. Start there.

Wow, you've ordered a suspension effective 9 months from today, and consider that worth a press release?

Weeks after it was reported that #Microsoft would stop forcing #Edge in the #EEA and allow for links to be opened with the default browser, nothing seems to have changed.
Just days ago, the @EU_Commission designated Microsoft as a gatekeeper under the #DMA to prevent them from imposing unfair conditions.

Extreme weather conditions in Europe have killed almost 195,000 people and caused economic losses of more than 560 billion euros since 1980, the European Environment Agency said Wednesday.
Of the 560 billion euros in losses, only 170 billion, or 30%, were insured, the EEA said, as it launched a new online portal collating recent data on the impact of extreme weather.

The meeting was chaired by @JessikaRoswall for #EU2023SE. It was attended by @AHuitfeldt, @DominiqueHasler, @thordiskolbrun, and @MarosSefcovic for @EU_Commission.
