♻️ 🇪🇺 🗳 The European Commission will not unveil its long-awaited proposal to enshrine the EU's new 2040 climate target tomorrow, a spokesperson told POLITICO today.
🔶️ The amendment will formalize last year’s Commission recommendation to cut emissions by 90 percent by 2040, kicking off the EU's legislative process involving national governments and the European Parliament.
🔶️ That’s in part due to EU lawmaking grinding to a halt in the bloc’s election year. But the proposal’s timing is also subject to political pressures. Poland, which holds the rotating Council of the EU presidency, hopes to avoid dealing with the issue until after its May election.
🔶️ Meanwhile, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s center-right European People’s Party, the largest faction in the European Parliament, is divided over whether to back the 90 percent goal. In the Council, only eight countries have explicitly supported it.

🏦 🇩🇪 📉 Deutsche Bundesbank reports the highest loss in the central bank's history.
🔶️ Germany's central bank plunged to a record €19.2bn (£15.9bn) loss last year in the latest setback for Europe's largest economy. A bond-buying spree prompted the Bundesbank to report its largest net loss in history, with officials warning that financial strain would remain throughout 2025.
🔶️ The losses stem from the central bank holding too many government bonds with low yields, which were unable to offset a recent rise in borrowing costs that led to the Bundesbank paying out more in interest to banks.
🔶️ Adrian Prettejohn, an economist at Capital Economics, said: “It was buying bonds with yields that were very low or negative, and now it is paying interest rates at 2.5pc, or last year it was 4pc.”
🔶️ However, it comes at a time of increasing gloom around the German economy, which is grappling with a slump in manufacturing, an ageing population and Donald Trump’s global trade war.

Kyiv has agreed terms with Washington on a minerals deal that Ukrainian officials hope will improve relations with the Trump administration and pave the way for a long-term US security commitment.
Ukrainian officials say Kyiv is now ready to sign the agreement on jointly developing its mineral resources, including oil and gas, after the US dropped demands for a right to $500bn in potential revenue from exploiting the resources.
Although the text lacks explicit security guarantees, the officials argued that they had negotiated far more favourable terms and depicted the deal as a way of broadening the relationship with the US to shore up Ukraine’s prospects after three years of war.
“The minerals agreement is only part of the picture. We have heard multiple times from the US administration that it’s part of a bigger picture,” Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister and justice minister who has led the negotiations, told the Financial Times on Tuesday.
