EU lawmakers step back from fight with ECB over Buch nomination

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:48:55 GMT

EU lawmakers look set to back down in their battle with the ECB and vote through Germany’s Claudia Buch as the bloc’s next top banking cop — in a move that could clear the way for Spain to win the more coveted job of running the European Investment Bank.MEPs had been considering flexing their muscles over the appointment to chair the European Central Bank’s Supervisory Board, which they have the power to block, after Frankfurt last week defied their wishes by supporting Buch. The Parliament instead wanted Spain’s Margarita Delgado, who lawmakers viewed as more experienced and tougher.But ahead of a hearing and committee vote on Wednesday, Parliament officials now say the big political groups are leaning toward supporting the ECB’s pick after all.“It’ll be a tough hearing, but in the end there will not be significant arguments to disapprove,” said one official, granted anonymity to speak freely because the discussions are confidential.The job ...

The German government is drafting a new plan to impose further restrictions on using Chinese equipment for the country’s telecoms networks, according to a strategy paper seen by POLITICO.“It is obvious that there are considerable structural dependencies on Huawei and ZTE,” the document reads. Germany has “an urgent need for action … also to prevent a second Nordstream case — but in the area of even more critical telecommunications with far more serious consequences. After all, the 5G mobile network is the ‘central nervous system’ of Germany as a business location,“ it added.Berlin officials are considering requiring telecom operators to stop using equipment by the Chinese telecom vendors for the core part (or backbone) of telecom networks by January 1, 2026, and to phase out reliance on Chinese kit in the radio access network (RAN), which is the wider network of masts and base stations, within three years.Two industry officials and on...

5 grab-and-go breakfasts that get kids ready to learn

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:48:55 GMT

Gretchen McKay | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (TNS)School is back in session and, for some parents, that means learning how to get a quick and nutritious breakfast into their children’s stomachs before they head out the door.I don’t have school-aged kids anymore, but I sure remember how difficult it was after getting them dressed, readying their backpacks and making them brush their teeth to get them to eat something, anything! (Please!) And it only got harder as they entered their teens and timed rolling out of bed, pulling on clean clothes and running out the door to the last possible second.A quick bowl of whole-grain Cheerios or banana slices smeared with peanut butter — my granddaughter Greta’s favorite preschool breakfast — are two easy solutions, but they come with a catch as the kids grow older: You have to actually get them to sit down to eat it.Sadly, breakfast skipping among children and adolescents is more prevalent than you might hope. The latest figures from the Centers for...
