European Commission | Questions and Answers on the EU ETS Market Stability Reserve

What is the Commission proposing to change in the EU ETS Market Stability Reserve? The Commission is proposing to stop the automatic invalidation of ETS allowances held in the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) above 400 million. Instead of being cancelled, these allowances will be retained in the reserve. This strengthens the MSR's role as a buffer, improving its ability to respond to future market developments, including situations of supply tightness or excessive price volatility, while preserving the system's rules-based design.

How AI is Driving the Future of Life Sciences Markets

Life sciences companies are using AI to speed up drug discovery, accelerate commercialization timelines, and improve back-office functions. The strong AI market in the U.S. has allowed for collaborations between AI-focused tech companies, life sciences companies, and universities. However, limitations around centralized data availability have made for challenges with deploying technology for clinical and commercial purposes. Europe has unique advantages due to many countries having centralized health data stores, collaborative networks, and strong public funding for research. As we have seen increased investment for companies utilizing AI to improve patient outcomes, life sciences companies who can unlock cross-border collaborations in the AI space may have an edge to tap into capital markets.

      CLA | IEEPA Tariff Refunds: FAQs for Importers

      Key insights IEEPA tariffs have been ruled unlawful and collections have stopped, but the broader tariff environment remains fluid as replacement tariffs and new trade actions emerge.

Companies should plan for related interest, accounting/tax impacts, and potential downstream or transfer‑pricing analysis. Tariffs have been a major cost — and headache — for importers since they were...
