#EUCO preparation list:

- Look up 'fudge' in the Hungarian and Polish dictionaries;
- Decide whether this is a red wine or hard spirits occasion;
- Download plenty of pictures of leaders for no particular reason, mind your own business 👀
*it's 'koholmány' and 'banialuki' apparently
You're a multilingual lot.
1) are those two translations good?
2) any decent words for 'crap compromise' that also has a culinary double-meaning in your languages?
Brilliant

Absolute slap in the face to @Eurostar as Boris Johnson heads to Brussels by plane
*and the climate, obvz

Reminder that Eurostar is in trouble. Massively scaled back services because of travel restrictions and pure lack of demand. It's on the ropes. Doubt Boris cares

🌱 Latest raft of #EUCO conclusions include the 55% emissions target. LOADS of language on member states being at different starting points, having the exclusive right to decide on energy mixes and preserving competitiveness
If there's a budget compromise, there will be a climate deal. (neck on block time). There was just about enough for a deal in October and enough massaging has been done now for it to get over the line if the MFF/RoL are sorted
ETS expansion, carbon border tax and a green finance bond standard also get a look-in. These are in-depth conclusions, not just a "the Council agrees to 55%."
Evidence tat it's going/gone mainstream (imho)

🚂 Big night-train news. New services linking Vienna, Zurich, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Barcelona and more due to start launching in late 2021. More details on @EURACTIV euractiv.com/section/railwa…
FAO of downcast Brits: "The UK will be linked to the network at Brussels and Paris by the cross-Channel Eurostar - should it survive a period of immense uncertainty triggered by the pandemic and Brexit - as trains need to be specially designed to run through the undersea tunnel."
Scandinavians? Worry not. Your gateway will be via Hamburg and Brussels (eventually) euractiv.com/section/railwa…

So with China aiming for carbon-neutrality by 2060, there’s a number of things to unpack here 1./ euractiv.com/section/energy…
It vindicates EU policy decisions on its own 2050 net-zero pledge. Back in 2018, the Commission was torn between 80%-90% emission cuts and going all in on net-zero euractiv.com/section/climat…
More progressive officials won that battle, arguing that the likes of China, India would be unlikely to be spurred into action by a policy that closely resembled business as usual
