Hlasovanie o ochrane doložke dohody o partnerstve medzi EÚ a Mercosurom a dočasnej obchodnej dohode o poľnohospodárskych výrobkoch

Predsedníctvo Rady a Európsky parlament 16. Decembra 2025 dosiahli predbežnú dohodu o nariadení, ktorým sa vykonáva bilaterálna ochranná doložka dohody o partnerstve medzi EÚ a Mercosurom a dočasnej obchodnej dohody o poľnohospodárskych výrobkoch medzi EÚ a Mercosurom. Nariadenie posilňuje ochranu poľnohospodárov EÚ a zabezpečuje, aby sa ochranné opatrenia mohli uplatňovať rýchlo a účinne v prípade, že dovoz z partnerských krajín Mercosuru spôsobí alebo hrozí, že spôsobí vážnu ujmu.

Predbežná dohoda do značnej miery zachováva rámec navrhovaný Komisiou a zároveň zavádza niekoľko cielených dodatkov, najmä na posilnenie monitorovania trhu a zlepšenie reakcie ochranných opatrení pre citlivé poľnohospodárske produkty. Nariadenie stanovuje, ako môže EÚ dočasne pozastaviť colné preferenciena dovoz poľnohospodárskych produktov z krajín Mercosur, ak tento dovoz poškodzuje výrobcov z EÚ. Stavia na existujúcich ochranných nástrojoch EÚ, ale zavádza rýchlejšie postupy a jednoduchšie spúšťače na ochranu poľnohospodárov v EÚ. Spoluzákonodarcovia sa dohodli na rozšírení zoznamu citlivých poľnohospodárskych produktov, na ktoré sa vzťahuje sprísnené monitorovanie a rýchlejšie ochranné postupy, o citrusové plody.

Spoluzákonodarcovia zaviedli do návrhu Komisie niekoľko zmien s cieľom zabezpečiť, aby EÚ mohla rýchlo reagovať na narušenia trhu spôsobené zvýšeným dovozom poľnohospodárskych produktov z Mercosuru. V prípade citlivých produktov sa za dostatočný dôvod na začatie prešetrovania bude spravidla považovať zníženie ceny o 8 % pri jednotlivých produktoch v spojení s 8 % nárastom preferenčných objemov dovozu v trojročnom priemere alebo 8 % poklesom dovozných cien. Dohoda tiež potvrdzuje navrhovaný rýchly časový rámec prešetrovaní, ktoré má Komisia začať po získaní dostatočných dôkazov. V prípade citlivých výrobkov sa prešetrovania ukončia do štyroch mesiacov a v naliehavých prípadoch možno zaviesť predbežné opatrenia do 21 dní.

Komisia bude neustále a proaktívne monitorovať dovoz identifikovaných citlivých výrobkov a aspoň každých šesť mesiacov bude podávať Parlamentu a Rade správy o vývoji na trhu a akomkoľvek riziku ujmy pre výrobcov z EÚ. Spoluzákonodarcovia sa dohodli na posilnení tohto rámca tým, že umožnia rozšírenie monitorovania na ďalšie výrobky, ktoré nie sú zahrnuté v zozname citlivých výrobkov, ak o to riadne požiada priemysel EÚ. Okrem toho Komisia do 1. marca 2026 vydá technické usmerneniana podporu monitorovania trhu na národnej a miestnej úrovni. Dohodnuté znenie tiež zavádza ustanovenia, ktoré Komisii umožňujú konať v prípade, že zistí obchádzanie ochranných opatrení,a to rozšírením rozsahu pôsobnosti opatrení alebo prijatím iných potrebných vykonávacích opatrení.

A k tomu ešte ďalšie video špecificky o oneskorení účinnosti dohody s Mercusorom.

Poľnohospodárov mám rád a som veľmi vďační za ich prácu. Zároveň však mám v ústach blbú chuť keď vidím aká veľká časť rozpočtu EU je smerovaná na ich podporu - a pritom sa ešte každú chvíľu zúrivo búria 🤬

EU by radšej mala masívne investovať do automatizácie poľnohospodárstva aby sme mali kvalitné, lacné a nízkouhlíkové potraviny, zatiaľ čo mnohí poľnohospodári by sa mohli venovať činnostiam, ktoré viac napĺňajú ich dosť a nevedú ich k rozstrekovaniu hovien naprieč Bruselom...

I’ve just gotten culture shock.

Those of you keeping track will know that I did a Christmas market tour early December last year. I ended up downloading the Karlsruhe transit authority’s (KVV) app and buying a day ticket or two off them.

These days I’m more familiar with German transit ticketing, so I haven’t used the KVV app since then.

And today I have received this SMS, telling me they’re going to delete my account soon.

…

⁃ A company that is systematically deleting accounts after a year?
⁃ That takes their data protection responsibilities seriously?
⁃ That proactively informs their data subjects with plenty of time to cope?
⁃ That doesn’t do so using dark marketing patterns that try to guilt me into staying?
⁃ Or upsell me?
⁃ Or trick me into clicking somewhere as the only way to exercise my rights?

I am agog. My flabber is truly ghasted.

Genuinely, this sort of attitude needs to be praised. It’s been 10 years since GDPR, and this sort of thing is still that rare.

KVV easy Text Message • SMS Today 05:53 Your account with Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund GmbH (KVV) will be deleted in 20 days due to inactivity

Moof!

Sorry, a little more gushing on this message:

⁃ It was sent by SMS to my Spanish number. They don’t care that the number is not German. Their systems will allow this.
⁃ It was sent by SMS, not WhatsApp, which is annoyingly increasingly becoming the default messaging platform for this sort of thing, thus making an American company the mediator of all your messages.
⁃ It was sent in English, my language of choice on their website and app, their processes are capable of checking my language preferences
⁃ No link was included. Nor instructions. If you care about this, it’s obvious what to do. No need to send something that can be turned into a Phishing vector
⁃ My name wasn’t mentioned, no need to attempt to gender me by giving me a title

None of these things are standard yet, and they should be. If you work for a consumer-facing company, can you say that your customer data will be treated this way?

Almost makes me want to keep my account with them, just for the respect they’ve shown

another nice thing you can do with delta chat is having in-chat tools like shopping lists in the family chat where anyone can add or mark an item as done and is marked for everyone, collaborative text pad, to-do lists, split bills, mini-games etc. you can even write your own small utility apps and share it in the chats and your contacts will be able to use them in all platforms

the speed is of chatting is realtime if you use the optimized chatmail relays instead of classic email

26 years ago, on December 28 1999, we migrated the main #curl source code from self-hosted to Sourceforge.

It was the new hot thing. Imagine the idea of a dedicated service devoted to nothing but hosting code!

We then kept the code there for ten years (on CVS). A period when the distributed version control systems really exploded.

Můj zlozvyk číslo 1:
V rámci úspory času a nachozených kroků jsem začal strategicky přemýšlet, co všechno můžu při jedné cestě z jedné místnosti do druhé udělat nebo vzít. Nejdřív mi to dávalo smysl, ale posléze jsem toto začal praktikovat i v práci, což se trochu začínalo zvrtávat. Typickým příkladem je vaření kafe ráno po příchodu do práce. Do toho si ještě nosím vodu z automatu a někdy i talíř na snídani. Kávovar je ráno potřeba zapnout, vyhodit logr, doplnit vodu. Někdy si během toho ještě strategicky odběhnu na záchod. I když jsem si všechno strategicky plánoval, pak jsem na jednotlivé podúkoly začal zapomínat. Výsledkem bylo, že když jsem se na stejnou trasu vrátil za 20 minut, viděl jsem nachystaný talíř k odnesení, uvařené kafe nebo někde na mě ještě číhala lžička. Cítil jsem se zoufale.

Die #DB_Bahn sollte sich lieber mal fragen, wieso Menschen mit Rollstuhl 'verladen' werden müssen - wär sie nämlich #barrierefei gäbs das Problem nämlich nicht.

fr.de/panorama/maximal-respekt…

Mal abgesehen davon, dass Menschen mit Hilfebedarf aufgrund fehlender #Barrierefreiheit ja nicht mal spontan reisen können sondern sich vorher erstmal beim Mobilitätservice anmelden müssen.

Der nach meinem letzten Kenntnisstand eine kostenpflichtige Rufnummer hat.

#Inklusion ist ein Menschenrecht

Und ja klar gibt's nette, freundliche & bemühte Mitarbeitende, das hab ich nicht in Frage gestellt. Die Tatsache, dass diese aber 2025 immer noch notwendig sind, taugt aber halt genauso wenig wie Menschen im Rollstuhl nur als 'Rollstuhl' zu bezeichnen.

Ist ja nicht das erste Mal, dass so eine Durchsage die Runde macht - allein der (mediale) Aufschrei fehlt - im Zug hat's ja auch niemanden interessiert

Die Bahn begründet oft Verspätung mit dem Einladen eines Rollstuhls oder - etwas besser formuliert trotzdem diskriminierend - wegen Unterstützung beim Ein- und Ausstieg.

Der Grund ist die nicht vorhandene #Barrierefreiheit! #BarriereBahn

ich wurde schon mal ausführlich per Lautsprecherdurchsage beschimpft.
Bei einem Halt wartete der Mobilitätsservice, ich sagte aber ich wolle nicht aussteigen, ich wolle beim nächsten Halt aussteigen, wegen der Verspätung komme ich so schneller an mein Ziel.

Der Mobilitätsservice verhielt sich als sei es ein "Service" und ich war die böse die absagt. Obwohl es Grundrecht ist mitfahren zu können und den "Service" gibts nur wegen der Barrieren. Aber die Auseiunandersetzung ging hin und her es wurde dirskutiert weil die wollten dass ich da aussteige und nicht beim nächsten Halt und ich was so, ich entscheide selbst.

Dann der Knaller mit der Durchsage als der Zug weiter fuhr. Man habe Verspätung weil ein Rollstuhlfahrer (sic!) - immerhin nicht nur der Rollstuhl - sich geweigert habe ausszusteigen.

Dann kam die Schaffnerin persönlich zu mir um mir auch noch vor den Fahrgästen eine Lektion zu erteilen. Die Fahrgäste solidaridierten sich zum Glück (das ist nicht immer der Fall) mit mir und die Schaffnerin war sauer, ging aber weg.

Today is not the first time an agentic coding agent has unblocked me. It turns out that the Winlibs package currently ships a version of CMake using libcurl without a valid SSL cert. As such, trying to build anything that requires an HTTPS download will fail, while working everywhere else. This stumped both me and one of my most talented debugger friends yesterday, claude figured it out in 5 minutes this morning.

Ich habe die letzte Woche viel mit #Perplexity experimentiert. jetzt habe ich noch fast ein Jahr einen gratis Pro-Zugang und absolut keinen Bedarf daran. Es gab in der Zeit nur eine einzige Konversation, in der mir kein Fehler aufgefallen ist, der zu Fehlkäufen bzw. Fehlentscheidungen geführt hätte. Was das für die erstellung von Code bedeutet, mag ich mir ehrlich gesagt nicht ausmalen.

Es kann menschliche Sprache glaubwürdig nachbilden. Wenn es um korrekte Informationen geht, selbst im Mainstream, versagt diese Technologie krachend. Ja, vermutlich bleiben LLM. Aber dieser Hype und die Anwendungsfälle, die immer wieder skizziert werden, sind wirklich albern und gefährlich.

I did a quick unscientific comparison. AI generated drums and bass for a snippet of a cover version versus me hobbling through those parts with software instruments, playing from memory of hearing it recently.

I invested a similar amount of time in total to reach the second verse of the song. With the generative engine, I only started paying attention to time spent *after* figuring out enough of the horrible UI accessibility to be able to get anything done with it, so although that will inevitably cloud my judgment of whether I enjoyed the UX, it shouldn't impact the comparison of musicality/usefulness.

In both cases, the original song was playing for reference with its rhythm section removed. I've turned the original down pretty quiet in these examples, loud enough to be recognisable but hopefully balanced in a way that makes it easy to focus on the differences in drums and bass.

Audio coming up. 1/4

@chikim Last week I had a session helping someone remake a beat that was from Suno. I've heard plenty of examples now where the generative part coming first then humans doing their thing after/on it can turn out good. In part that's why I'm surprised this gave me such a shit result. I didn't think the order of events being flipped around would make the result so different.

I am blind. Seeing people who think I'm not worth the effort fill my timeline with AltBot generated AI stuff that isn't even accurate in lots of cases.

Human alt text is always better, because it doesn´t focus on ocular seeing. Seeing people think, and AltBot was designed around that notion, that blind people must compensate for missing "eye-seeing", but that's not the case. I am interested in the meaning of an image to you, its maker or publisher.

Again, human alt text is better, also because it strengthens reciprocity between seeing and blind people. AltBot doesn't but it makes seeing people believe they have done their bit for accessibility. In actuality, the reverse is often true.

@sapphireangel @Scott My place is positively utopian based on everything previously.
I live in a Cul De Sac, we tend to hear trains every few minutes but they're not obnoxious, got our own back garden which is bigger than a postage stamp which, considering it's London has to be some kind of miracle, a real piano which I can play whenever and no neighbours complain.
The downstairs toilet door handle needs changing but that's about it. lol

@andrew I haven't forgotten about going for that curry as well. I think we've found the cheapest place in London but with the very best food around. Went there in December with my mother in-law and sister in-law, along with Jake. For four people, three of us paid £38 each.
Definitely not a bad run.
Food was excellent, everybody came away very happy.

The most interesting finding from using EVs in winter is not that they consume more energy (which they do), but that charging is really slow if you don't have battery preheating. Yesterday, I arrived at a 240 kW charger with 33% SoC, the outside temperature was 0°C, and the charging power was only 35 kW (the maximum charging power of the car is 118 kW). With this charging power, it would take 40 minutes to charge to 80% SoC. We don't mind too much because we primarily use the car as a city car and do 95% of our charging at home, but if you want to have an EV as your only car and drive long distances with it even in winter, definitely get one that has battery preheating.

@tpheine yes, it is still limiting, my brother-in-law drives to customers spread across the whole country and time is of essence. He says he still cannot afford an EV because of this, so he has a diesel Škoda Superb. I think this will be pretty much solved with the 800V architecture which is slowly getting into this segment. A good example of this is the new BMW iX3. Its drive range is over 500km even in winter, the maximum charging rate is 400 kW and can charge for 350km in 10 minutes. Once EVs with such parameters are more widespread, most of the opposition will disappear. It's already a completely different world than my 3-year-old Audi with 35kW charging in winter. 🙂

Ten paciencia cuando se confunde.
No la apresures cuando tarda en recordar.
No le quites valor a sus palabras cuando repite una historia que ya conoces.
Porque antes que nada…
sigue siendo tu madre.
La misma que respondió tus preguntas una y otra vez sin cansancio.
La que secó tus lágrimas, incluso cuando no había motivo.
La que veló tu sueño cuando el cuerpo te ardía de fiebre
y el mundo parecía demasiado grande para ti.
Hoy sus pasos son más lentos,
su memoria a veces se dispersa
y su cuerpo se fatiga con facilidad.
Pero su amor no ha cambiado.
Ese amor sigue firme, atento, completo… como siempre lo fue.
Hazla sentir importante.
Hazle saber que su presencia cuenta,
que su risa sigue teniendo lugar
y que su vida no es una carga, sino un regalo.
Abrázala sin prisa.
Escúchala aunque repita.
Quédate un poco más.
Porque llegará un día en que ese lugar quedará vacío,
y darías cualquier cosa
por escucharla contar su historia
una vez más.
Ama hoy.
Cuida hoy.
Porque el amor que se posterga mañana pesa más de lo que imaginas. 🤍

The greatest piece of advice I was ever given was this: when you stop work for the day, never stop at a 'clean' break point; stop in the middle of something you can finish easily.

That way the next morning you're not confronted with a a dauntingly blank page or an empty function to write, but a half-finished one you can get back into without difficulty.

I can't remember who gave me that advice, but I've stuck to it dogmatically whenever I can.

I was recently reminded of this.

A couple decades ago, I wrote a short paper that described how the basic approaches of cryptography and computer security lead to an efficient and practical privilege escalation attack against master-keyed mechanical locks, which I published in IEEE Security and Privacy (a nerdy computing technical journal).

mattblaze.org/papers/mk.pdf

TL;dr: Master-keyed locks have fundamental, exploitable weaknesses.

But I wasn't ready for what happened next.

It occurs to me that people outside the security field might find it odd that we openly publish stuff like this. Why help people who might use the knowledge to do bad things?

There are a number of reasons. The first is that only through open discussion are we able to identify and fix problems. Another, which is what motivated my work, is educational: you can't learn to defend systems unless you understand how they are attacked.
