Green Claims Directive: European Commission clarifies withdrawal of proposed law
The Green Claims Directive, also known as the anti-greenwashing law, may not be withdrawn after all. A commission spokesperson clarified that the withdrawal will only happen if a specific recent amendment is maintained. Spokesperson Paula Pinho noted that the amendment in question would bring small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) under the scope of the law. This amendment would subject 30 million additional businesses to the legislation, meaning that a total of 96 percent of businesses would have to comply. However, a key objective of the European Commission is to reduce the administrative burden on SMEs. Pinho emphasised that the proposed amendment to the law is not yet final. Should it be upheld, the commission will withdraw the Green Claims Directive. Negotiations regarding the proposed law are currently ongoing. The final round of negotiations was scheduled for Monday, June 23, but did not proceed. Last week, news broke that the European Commission had withdrawn its support for the law. However, little clarification was provided at the time. The commission has now clarified the news. The aim of the Green Claims Directive is to help consumers navigate the numerous sustainability claims. If a product is advertised as environmentally friendly, this must be demonstrably substantiated. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Despite court orders, collectors sit on sex abuse victims' payout
Panaji: Sufferings of sexual violence victims continue as the district collectors are yet to clear the compensation relief as directed by the court. The Victim Assistant Unit (VAU) of govt said that there are over 10 such cases pending before the collectors. 'Goa is the only state which is lagging in releasing compensation to the victims. While the scheme provides for compensation at the stage of investigation, the victims here are yet to get the benefits. Govt should direct the collectors to clear the compensation relief,' in-charge of VAU, Emidio Pinho said. In a letter to the chief secretary, Pinho said that there is a significant delay in release of funds from the collectorate (North and South) and the home department. 'This not only exacerbates the suffering of victims and their families but also undermines the very purpose of providing timely assistance and support to those who have faced such traumatic experiences,' he said. Goa govt notified POCSO Rules, 2020, specify that once an order is passed by the court, the related govt office should release the amount within 30 days. In a case registered at the Ponda police station, the children's court had passed the order granting compensation, but to date, neither the child nor his family received any relief.

‘I Only Rest In The Storm' Trailer: Portuguese Un Certain Regard Title Delves Into Neo-Colonialism & International NGOs
EXCLUSIVE: Portuguese director Pedro Pinho's West Africa-set drama I Only Rest In The Storm is playing in Cannes Un Certain Regard this year and Deadline can reveal the international trailer. Delving into uncomfortable truths about the relationship between neo-colonialism and international NGOs, the drama stars Sérgio Coragem as an environmental engineer who travels to West Africa to work on a road project between the desert and the forest. More from Deadline Neon Buys Jafar Panahi's Cannes Competition Film 'It Was Just An Accident' Josh O'Connor Is An Art Thief In First Footage Of Kelly Reichardt's Cannes Competition Film 'The Mastermind' 'Amrum' Review: Faith Akin's German Coming Of Age Tale During WW2's Final Days Is 'Stand By Me' In The Shadow Of A Fading Nazi Regime - Cannes Film Festival There, he becomes entangled in an intimate yet unbalanced relationship with two inhabitants of the city, Diara and Gui. As neo-colonial dynamics among the expatriate community unravel, this fragile bond becomes his only refuge from an impending collapse into solitude or barbarism. Coragem is joined in the cast by Cape Verdean Portuguese actress Cleo Diára (Diamantino, Mulheres, às Armas) and artist and actor Jonathan Guilherme. Pinho was previously in Cannes with debut feature film The Nothing Factory, which premiered in Cannes Directors' Fortnight in 2017, receiving the Fipresci Prize. 'This road, financed by the World Bank and constructed by a Brazilian Chinese consortium, is meant to bridge two opposing landscapes: the arid solitude of the desert and the dense, animistic abundance of the jungle. But beyond economic ambition, it ultimately remains a rupture scar in a territory that resists being tamed,' says Pinho. 'At its heart lies the never-ending 'encounter' between Europe and Africa, contrasted with an elusive battle for a queer becoming, played out in the nightclubs, streets, and backrooms of a West African city. Within this often violent fight for identity transcendence, one might glimpse escape routes, the possibility of radical subversion, or the surviving traces of tenderness,' he added of the film. The film is produced by Uma Pedra no Sapato (Grand Tour, Légua) and Terratreme Films (Nothing Factory, in co-production with Still Moving in France (Baby, Tiger Stripes), Bubbles Project in Brazil (Loveling, Puan) and deFilm in Romania (To the North).

EU to sanction Nord Stream pipelines to block investment
The European Union plans to impose sanctions on the operators of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, which transport Russian gas to Europe, to eliminate any future investment interest. Source: European Pravda Details: Paula Pinho, chief spokesperson for the European Commission, announced this during a briefing in Brussels on 16 May. The sanctions aim to make the pipelines unattractive to investors. Quote: "So the idea is to dissuade any interest, and notably interest from investors, in pursuing any activity on Nord Stream also in the future," Pinho said. Details: Pinho noted that both pipelines are currently non-operational. "In August 2022, Russia suspended the deliveries of gas through Nord Stream 1. And some weeks later, there was an incident, an accident, we don't know exactly, which basically meant that Nord Stream, part of it blew up, and ever since three of the four pipelines are not operational anymore," she said. Quote: "Why then sanction this? Because you don't know what can happen. Nord Stream 1 could be repaired. Nord Stream 2 could theoretically be licensed," Pinho added. Background: Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, stated that a new EU sanctions package against Russia, aimed at increasing pressure on Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin, may target Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2. A summit of the European Political Community in Albania on 16 May is expected to focus on significantly tightening sanctions against Moscow. European Pravda reported that the European Union may impose sanctions on the consortium operating the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline if Russia fails to start a ceasefire as planned.
