A lighter day in volume. The OJ C series publishes two European Parliament resolutions adopted in November 2025, one setting Parliament’s minimum conditions for any Ukraine peace deal, the other delivering its sharpest critique yet of how EU law applies to platforms like SHEIN and Temu. The Court of Justice rules on the scope of the speciality rule under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
C/2026/1719 · Ukraine Peace · Parliament Adopted 27 November 2025, published today. Parliament sets its minimum conditions for any Russia-Ukraine settlement: full respect for Ukraine’s territorial integrity, security guarantees equivalent to NATO Article 5, no sanctions relief before a deal enters into force, and a mandatory EU seat at the negotiation table. The security guarantees standard alone effectively rules out most arrangements currently under public discussion.
C/2026/1710 · E-Commerce Platforms · Parliament Triggered by the discovery of child-like sex dolls on SHEIN, this resolution is Parliament’s most comprehensive statement on the regulatory failures affecting third-country e-commerce giants. It calls for active use of DSA suspension powers against non-compliant VLOPs and the elimination of the €150 customs duty exemption that underpins the low-cost direct-shipping model.
C-528/24 · EU-UK TCA · ECJ The Court rules on what “offence” means under Article 625 of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement’s speciality rule, which limits UK prosecutors to charges corresponding to the offences for which a person was surrendered from Ireland. The answer — an autonomous EU-law definition — determines how broadly or narrowly UK prosecutors may frame charges in extradition cases.
