#eu #eupolicy #eunews #energylabels
The European Commission is updating energy and tire labels for home appliances and devices. These changes give you clearer information on energy efficiency, how long a product will last, and also and very important: how easy it is to repair.
The new regulations will allow for better traceability of products across the EU, and give Member States better tools to tackle non-compliant products being sold in within the EU.

Central African Republic: Progress, Fragility & Peace Challenges – MINUSCA Briefing | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

UN Special Representative for the Central African Republic Valentine Rugwabiza said that four years down the road, the country has made remarkable and tangible progress towards lasting peace and security, with the instrumental support of MINUSCA.

Addressing the Security Council about the Central African Republic, Rugwabiza said, “The progress made with the implementation of the political and peace processes, the effective extension of State authority and presence across the CAR territory, protection of civilians, the preparation and conduct of historic coupled elections of December 2025, is the result of sustained efforts by the Central African authorities and people, with the multidimensional support of MINUSCA. These gains must now be preserved and consolidated.”

She also noted, “While the security situation has generally improved across the country over the years, it remains fragile in several border areas. In the northeast, the impact of the conflict in Sudan is of particular concern with renewed armed activity along the border, including cross-border incursions targeting civilians, particularly in the Vakaga Prefecture. In the southeast, the attacks and abductions by the AAKG militia continue to be source of insecurity in the Haut-Mbomou and Mbomou Prefectures.”

She stressed, “There is a need for a comprehensive and detailed plan to address critical gaps in the capabilities of the security sector, a plan based on strong national ownership with the support of international partners. This is critical to ensuring that the mandated gradual transfer of MINUSCA security tasks to national defense and security forces will not risk strategic reversal of security achievements.”
