Hungary to shift adoption rules toward professional assessments for singles and same-sex couples

Hungary plans to overhaul its child adoption rules, expanding access to single and same-sex couples by restoring a professional, psychology- and child-protection expert–led assessment process. The move breaks with Orbán-era restrictions, leverages a new 220-page reform report as the basis for changes, and aligns with EU concerns about prior bans and the goal of placing children in loving families regardless of parental status or orientation.

EU weighs in as Italy’s citizenship-by-descent clash restarts

Italy’s 2025 law restricting citizenship by descent (two-generation cap) blocked many in the global diaspora from passing on Italian citizenship. After initial defeats, the Constitutional Court suspended further challenges and referred the case to the European Court of Justice to assess EU compliance, a potential turning point that could overturn the measure if the ECJ finds issues. If struck down, Italy would likely craft EU‑compliant rules; other related rulings are still pending. The development represents a historic moment in the ongoing fight over citizenship rights for descendants worldwide.

Fuel crunch won't shield airlines from EU passenger-compensation rules

EU Transport Commissioner says jet-fuel shortages do not qualify as extraordinary circumstances under EU passenger rights rules, so airlines must reimburse passengers for trips cancelled this summer; while some carriers have hedged fuel to limit disruption, others like Lufthansa and Aer Lingus have canceled flights; the UK remains under EU rules post-Brexit; amid the fuel crisis, AirAsia announced a $19 billion deal to buy 150 Airbus A220 jets, with potential expansion to 300, boosting Belfast wing production jobs.

EU Parliament urges EU-wide, consent-based definition of rape

EU Parliament urges EU-wide, consent-based definition of rape

The European Parliament approved a resolution calling for an EU-wide definition of rape based on the absence of freely given, informed consent, stating that silence or lack of resistance cannot be taken as consent and that past relationships or marriage do not imply consent. The European Commission is urged to draft legislation, which would then need approval from member states. The move aligns with the Istanbul Convention and follows a split among member states, with 17 already using consent-based definitions and others still relying on force-based criteria. The vote was 447 in favour, 160 against, and 43 abstentions, and the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights notes about 5% of EU women have experienced rape since age 15.

Pornhub Returns to France Amid Temporary Reprieve

Pornhub has temporarily regained access in France after the suspension of the country's new age verification law, which requires third-party verification of users' ages. The law's legality is under review by the French courts due to questions about compliance with EU regulations, specifically the country-of-origin principle. The platform and French officials are discussing alternative solutions like device-level filters to protect minors while respecting privacy concerns.
