🇮🇪 News for language nerds (the best kind of people)

Big case this week at European Court of Justice. 🧵:
The court will on Thursday hear its first case ever filed in the Irish language. It’s to do with labelling of veterinary medicines, but could signal a bigger shift in proceedings than that suggests /.
Cases can be filed in any of the EU’s 24 official languages. Irish has had that status since Ireland joined in 1973, but no plaintiffs have availed themselves of that option. Until now.../

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)

#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?

🚂 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…
