Door de terugroepacties van partijen babyvoeding is er weinig kans meer op gezondheidsschade, stelt de Europese voedselautoriteit EFSA in een nieuw rapport. Al in oktober 2024 is vervuiling in de voeding opgetreden, blijkt daaruit.

Maandag staat het kabinet-Jetten op het bordes, met naast de koning de eerste D66-premier ooit én de jongste premier ooit. Rob Jetten is geen man die zich makkelijk laat kennen. „Hij was nooit echt boos, geïrriteerd of geërgerd.”

Industriële bedrijven die roepen om afzwakken van het emissiehandelssysteem vinden bij steeds meer Europese leiders gehoor. Maar, waarschuwen experts, dit ETS vergroot op termijn juist haar concurrentievermogen én de veiligheid in Europa.

Wat maakte Nederland tot het beste shorttrackland van deze Winterspelen? Een rad van fortuin, een militair trainingskamp in Oostenrijk en een bondscoach die maar bleef hameren op het belang van de aflossing. „We staan op het ijs samen in de loopgraven.”

De rekening voor de investeringen die het kabinet-Jetten wil, komt harder aan bij mensen met een lager inkomen dan bij hoge inkomens, becijferen de planbureaus.

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down on Friday President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs that he pursued under a law meant for use in national emergencies, rejecting one of his most contentious assertions of his authority in a ruling with major implications for the global economy. From a report: The justices, in a 6-3 ruling authored by conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld a lower court's decision that the Republican president's use of this 1977 law exceeded his authority.

The court ruled that the Trump administration's interpretation that the law at issue - the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA - grants Trump the power he claims to impose tariffs would intrude on the powers of Congress and violate a legal principle called the "major questions" doctrine. The doctrine, embraced by the conservative justices, requires actions by the government's executive branch of "vast economic and political significance" to be clearly authorized by Congress. The court used the doctrine to stymie some of Democratic former President Joe Biden's key executive actions.

The jump in tax receipts last month may show that UK government receipts are starting to get the boost from inflation and wage growth earlier in the year.

Nick Ridpath, research economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, says:

Today’s data on the public finances is particularly important, given the outsized impact of January’s self-assessment returns on revenues and borrowing for the year as a whole.

Income tax receipts had been a little disappointing over 2025, lagging behind forecasts even as inflation and wage growth exceeded expectations. But today’s data shows that self-assessment revenues in January were almost £2bn (6%) higher than forecast.
