The European Commission is involved in setting migration policies, including the decision for Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden to cease recognizing Russian non-biometric passports from October 1, 2026, with Sweden allowing a transitional period until the end of 2026 for holders of existing visas or residence permits. It has also taken regulatory actions against companies such as Google and Meta, imposed fines for digital market violations, and is engaged in strategic initiatives including drone production agreements with Ukraine and emergency aid delivery to Venezuela.
