This appears to be podcast show notes or description rather than a full news article. The content outlines several EU policy topics but lacks specific details such as exact budget figures, legislation names, app names, or named sources. The Sunday shopping discussion generated significant listener response, indicating public interest in local business regulations.
Today on the pod, we're talking money, money, money. An important vote on the EU's next long-term budget is happening in the European Parliament. Zoya and Nick discuss how lawmakers are pushing for a bigger cash pot … which will likely cause a stir with some countries. We unpack the battle lines already starting to form. Also, the College of Commissioners is meeting in Strasbourg to discuss how drafting legislation could be made more efficient — although critics warn this could weaken important safeguards. Plus, last week the Commission unveiled an age verification app designed to stop kids from accessing adult content online. But the rollout has been … bumpy. Finally: It seems we really hit a nerve when we discussed whether shops in Brussels should be open on Sundays. Zoya and Nick sift through your heated messages.
