What is happening in Brussels?

Parliamentary activity, told as stories rather than as a list of file numbers.

03Visual explainer

60 / 90 seconds of Europe

Complex legislation, taken apart step by step: the issue, the proposal, the people affected, and the position.

ENVI · 90 seconds

Two sets of rules on one shelf

European farmers work under strict pesticide and animal welfare rules. Imported products do not always meet the same standards.

04Policy explorer

Pick a topic. See the whole picture.

Eight fields, each broken into the same five questions — so positions can be compared, not just read.

AI

The issue

Artificial intelligence is moving faster than the institutions meant to supervise it.

The EU proposal

A risk-based framework with obligations for high-risk uses and general-purpose models.

Kartheiser's position

Regulate real risks, not research. Proportionality for small developers, no surveillance obligations by the back door.

In Parliament

Committee scrutiny of implementing acts; written questions on enforcement capacity.

What happens next

Standards and codes of practice due before the next review cycle.

Ask Kartheiser.

Questions about votes, files and positions — answered by Élise, the civic assistant working only from the parliamentary record. Every answer separates what is his position, what is fact, and where it comes from.

Élise · civic assistant

Élise is not a general chatbot: she answers strictly from a curated record of parliamentary work and never invents votes or documents. Unanswered questions enter a public queue and are replied to personally.
