EU officials reportedly told Andy Burnham the UK must tariff cheap Chinese cars or face 'made in Europe' barriers on exports to a bloc that takes 58% of them. The case for staying open now rests on Chinese investment and cheaper cars at home.
Circle told the European Commission that only 3 of the world's top 25 stablecoins are authorized under MiCA, in its response to the law's review. Circle issues two of the three, and it ties the gap to bank-deposit and concentration rules it wants loosened.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov says the ECB and EBA want the Commission's MiCA review to ban stablecoin yield and tighten DeFi access. By his account, EU providers would keep DeFi access only for users who pass suitability tests, and perhaps only to protocols the authorities certify.

Google's pilot paying about 100 publishers for AI Overview use returns small and mid-sized members roughly a tenth of a percent of their ad revenue. For most members the check cannot stand in for lost clicks, so the case for joining rests on the usage data and on what a site covers.

ESMA asked the European Commission on September 30 to extend MiCA's ban on non-compliant stablecoins to custody and transfers. Holders who kept such tokens with EU custodians after the 2025 delistings would lose that last licensed option.

Europe's central banks asked Brussels to extend MiCA's stablecoin interest ban to lending and staking, a move a campaign says 50,000-plus citizens opposed. A ban that reaches borrower-paid returns could leave euro-regulated tokens unable to match perks offered by dollar stablecoins.

Google has appealed an EU DMA order that would make it share search data with rivals from January 2027 and open Android to rival AI services. Its case rests on user privacy and Android security, claims the EU's top court now has to weigh against a competition order.

Pennyforge's 1 October scan of 185 European sites found 35 AI-crawler opt-outs in robots.txt, every one sitewide. That gives the EU consultation on opt-out signals, closing 3 November, a baseline where three in four sites show crawlers no AI rule at all.

Google has appealed EU orders that require it to share Search data with rival engines from January 2027 and open Android to competing AI assistants. Rival product teams now have to plan around a court fight over how much data and Android access they get.

Stand With Crypto EU got more than 50,000 Europeans to write to the Commission's MiCA review asking that stablecoins be allowed to pay holders rewards. Europe's central banks used the same review to ask that the ban also cover lending, borrowing and staking yield, so the rule could end up wider as easily as looser.

ESMA asked the European Commission's MiCA review on September 30 for power to freeze crypto assets on 'reasonable grounds' and block scam websites. Unlicensed offshore firms courting EU customers face the most risk, and licensed providers would carry new marketing curbs.

European Commission is taking views until 3 November 2026 on how EU copyright law should treat AI use of protected content. Responses from AI developers and rights holders go into the evidence for rules the Commission has not yet decided to write.

US prosecutors charged Oxygen Forensics' CEO and a co-founder with hiding that five Russians owned the forensic firm and that its software was Russian-built. Police in seven EU states bought or accredited the tool, two of them this September.

Brussels wants EU data center capacity to go from about 12 GW to over 27 GW in five to seven years, on roughly 200 billion euros of mostly private money. The sector's 2030 electricity projection fits a much smaller fleet, so grid connections that take years are the likelier limit on how fast that money is spent.

EU Commission's draft Kids Act bars social media accounts for under-13s and locks the unrestricted version of covered apps behind an age check. Techdirt argues platforms will play it safe and check everyone, so adults carry the privacy cost too.

Google took the EU to the General Court over orders to share search data with rivals by January 2027 and open Android to rival AI services by July 2027. Rival search engines and AI developers counting on that data now face a court case over how much of it survives anonymisation.

Google is contesting two July 16 EU orders that would give ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity Gemini's system-level access on about 60% of EU smartphones. The duty that matters most for voice, letting rival wake words run alongside Google's, is not due until August 2028.

The Bundeskartellamt took binding commitments instead of a fine: neutral wording for third-party prompts, one dialog instead of two, across almost all of the EU. Re-model opt-in assumptions now.
