Canada orders Chinese companies to divest stake in lithium mines: "Canada welcomes FDI from companies that “share our interests and values” but would “act decisively when investments threaten our national security and critical minerals supply chains”."

Let Nord stream be a wake-up call that it's not just energy infrastructure, but all kinds of critical infrastructures that need more attention.
Inteference with undersea cables in international waters, for example, also remains woefully undergoverned, and security far too lax.

The French Presidency left a strong legacy: @AmbNum proposal that puts #DigitalCommons at the heart of Europe’s approach to digital sovereignty. Including new EU institution that stewards the commons. Read opinion by @paul_keller on our blog openfuture.eu/blog/french-pr…

29 May 1986.
#OnThisDay the 🇪🇺 EU flag was raised for the first time in front of the Berlaymont building – our headquarters in Brussels.
The then Commission’s President, Jacques Delors, led the ceremony to mark its official adoption to the sound of the EU anthem.

1. The @EU_Commission has a new “chat control” proposal that involves scanning private messages. It’s bad for privacy, bad for security, and we believe the public will reject it. eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/eu…

Excited to launch my new paper on how the EU can support Public Digital Infrastructure:
✅Create an ecosystem of alternatives through collaborative interoperability and open protocols.

✅Support data commons and identity.

Final #DMA proposal mandates dominant messaging services to become #interoperable, shifting these key types of services from a collection of “walled gardens” to a connected - more open - ecosystem.

The geopolitical/security implications of the green transition deserve so much more attention: "The green transition has also turned the pursuit of critical minerals into a great-power competition not unlike the search for gold or oil in eras past" economist.com/united-states/…

If you're interested in the geopolitics of the energy transition, this episode by the @bbcworldservice's The Inquiry on lithium access is a great introductory primer:
"Do we have enough lithium to power the future?"

In Germany, a part of its energy infrastructure appears to have been the target of a major cyber attack. All of Oiltanking's loading and unloading systems are paralyzed. It is one of the largest independent providers of tank space for mineral oils, chemicals and gases worldwide.
