If companies merge before our clearance, they breach our rules.
👉@illumina & @GrailBio did so by implementing their tie-up as we were still investigating.
Today's 432 million euros fine to @illumina shows this is a very serious infringement.

Russia's war against Ukraine is a dark reminder that #space is more than an idealised infinite to explore. #Satellite #data bring invaluable intelligence for the 🇺🇦 resistance. They are also vital for our #green & #digital transitions.

#PFAS chemicals can be found in water, soil, food packaging... And they could be harmful to our body.
Today like many other Europeans, I took a test to measure their level in my blood. We must expand our knowledge, and this is my small step to make it happen.

I commend Portugal’s cybersecurity council for its thoughtful decision implementing the EU’s 5G security toolbox.

Threats have no place and will not deter Europe from legitimate measures to protect its critical infrastructure.
