Quick Glance: French Senators Reject EU-Canada Free-Trade Deal
  • France's Sénat overwhelmingly voted against a free-trade agreement between the EU and Canada due to a unique alliance opposing President Macron.

  • The rejection of the CETA agreement, which has been provisionally in force since 2017, does not affect its application.

  • While a setback for the government, the no-vote does not nullify the agreement, requiring official EU notification for effectiveness.

  • Opposition to the pact mainly centered around food safety concerns, criticizing Canada's standards compared to the EU.

Quick Glance: Macron announces bill for assisted dying
  • France could become the next European country to legalize euthanasia for the terminally ill, following a lengthy consultation with a committee of French citizens on 'active assistance to dying'.

  • Only adults with full control of their judgment, suffering from an incurable and life-threatening illness with unrelievable pain, will be able to 'ask to be helped to die,' Macron told La Croix and Liberation newspapers.

  • The bill entails prescribing a lethal substance that the patient can administer themselves or with the assistance of a third party if unable to do so physically, ensuring the patient's decision is supported by medical professionals and meets clear criteria to avoid the terms assisted suicide or euthanasia.

Quick Glance: France activates crisis cell to mitigate aftermath of major cyberattack
  • A cyberattack of 'unprecedented intensity' targeting several French government institutions has been contained, according to the prime minister's office on Monday evening. This incident raises security concerns just months before Paris hosts the Olympic Games.

  • The recent cyberattack in France follows a warning from Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's defense adviser last week regarding the potential targeting of the Olympics in July and European Parliament elections in June.

  • Multiple state bodies were targeted, with various ministerial services attacked since Sunday using familiar technical means but of unexpected intensity.

  • A 'crisis cell has been activated to deploy countermeasures', resulting in reduced impact of the attacks on most services and restoration of access to state websites.
