A toy is never just a toy.
Our new EU in Practice piece looks at how EU toy safety rules protect children from hidden risks — from chemicals and small parts to unsafe online marketplace listings.
Because childhood should not have to negotiate with the marketplace.

Noticed now that the #ECB published a "Guide on outsourcing cloud services to cloud service providers".
https://www.bankingsupervision.europa.eu/ecb/pub/pdf/ssm.supervisory_guides202507.en.pdf(Via the annual report: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/annual-reports-financial-statements/annual/html/ecb.ar2025~b7f898b33d.en.html .)
I couldn't find any mention of source code although the document arises from Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 which mentions "open source analyses", "source code reviews where feasible".

@fedops @ParadeGrotesque I hadn't heard about the French gov mandating Linux workstations for all their Ministries, that's great news!
The Dutch, French and German workspace teams were already working together on a Linux OS within the EDIC's 100 day challenges, but I don't think a choice for a distro has been made yet. 🇪🇺
I'm super impressed with how proactive the French are. Good work @numerique_gouv 👏

The @EUCommission’s #DigitalServicesAct enforcement cost about €15 million less than anticipated in 2025.
"The surplus comes as the cost of human resources was some €8 million lower than estimated, with operational and administrative expenditure some €7.5 million lower," wrote Politico.
In other words: the Commission has difficulties hiring the number of staff it needs to hold #BigTech accountable.

You cross a border. Your phone doesn’t notice.
No extra charges. No disruption. No second thought.
But it wasn’t always like this.

Ihr könnt auch nicht genug von #EUPolicy bekommen? Glück gehabt, gleich geht es weiter mit Anhörungen der designierten EU-Kommissar*innen. Um 18:30 geht es weiter mit Magnus #Brunner, designierter Kommissar für Inneres und Migration.
Er soll auf Ylva Johansson folgen und es ist zu erwarten, dass er damit schon qua Amt ein Portfolio vertritt, welches in der Sitzung kontroversere Fragen und Antworten mit sich bringt.
