Tariffs on Russian fertiliser greenlit after MEPs reject amendments
The European Parliament has given the green light for the EU to introduce tariffs on fertiliser from Russia and its ally Belarus, rejecting several amendments and adding to concern for farm organisations. A vote in a full, or plenary, session of the parliament saw MEPs overwhelmingly back the proposal from the European Commission to introduce fertiliser tariffs on the two countries. The proposal was made in response to the war in Ukraine, in which Belarus has aided Russia. Russia and Belarus are a major source of fertilisers for the EU agricultural sector. The proposal has long concerned EU farm organisations, who, despite defending the rationale for the tariffs as part of the EU's support for Ukraine, are concerned that it will make fertiliser more expensive for farmers in the bloc. The commission's proposed tariffs are now set to come into effect on July 1, it is understood. Copa Cogeca, the group representing EU farming organisations and agricultural co-operatives, said: 'Farming communities understand and support the overall objective pursued by the EU institutions. 'However, the complete lack of consideration for alternative sourcing, the absence of an impact assessment, and the lack of clarity on market implications, remain deeply problematic,' Copa added. 'While recognising broader foreign policy goals, we must emphasise the serious economic and operational consequences this proposal represents for the EU agricultural sector,' the group said in a statement. 'Despite the commission's promises before the vote regarding market monitoring, fertilisers – being a major cost for the entire profession – remain a significant concern and raise serious doubts about the competitiveness and future of European farming. 'Given these stakes, it is difficult to understand why the proposal was not accompanied by at least an impact assessment and a clear diversification strategy. If the EU is determined to reduce dependency on Russian and Belarusian fertilisers, it must present a credible and forward-looking alternative,' Copa said. The farm group said its position on the tariffs remains unchanged and, that the underlying issues will likely resurface. Copa is calling on the commission to adopt an approach that ensures the availability of fertiliser to EU farmers, and to allow derogations to the nitrates directive to allow increased use of livestock manure on grassland and other crops. The group is also urging the commission to remove duties and tariffs on fertilisers from countries other than Russia and Belarus in order to limit the impact of the new tariffs. 'Given that the fertiliser market remains relatively opaque and particularly fragile, Copa Cogeca remains watchful on these issues and urges European authorities—especially the commission—to maintain extremely careful monitoring. We cannot afford to further undermine the economic viability of farms or the food security of millions across the EU,' Copa said.

La Liga: Lekue, Galarreta sign contract extensions with Athletic Club
Bilbao (Spain): Defender Inigo Lekue and midfielder Ruiz de Galarreta have signed contract extensions with La Liga club Athletic Club on Saturday. Lekue has put pen to paper on a one-year extension, keeping him with Los Leones until June 30, 2026 while the midfielder, who has made 74 appearances in the last two seasons (39 this campaign), has signed a new deal until June 30, 2027. The full-back, who arrived to Lezama from local youth side Danok Bat in 2012, signed his agreement at San Mames on Saturday morning alongside club president Jon Uriarte and director of football Mikel González. With 262 official games under his belt, 53 of them played in the last two seasons, Lekue has established himself as a key player due to his ability to play in different positions on the pitch. A regular at full-back on both flanks this year, he has put some remarkable performances in this final stretch of the 2024/25 campaign. Lekue couldn't hide his pride at being able to continue wearing the famous red and white stripes. "For me, this renewal is everything, both professionally and personally. To continue to live this dream is spectacular," he said. "This team's level of competitiveness this season is something I haven't experienced before. It's true that last season, we won the Copa after a 40-year wait, we took out La Gabarra and got back into Europe and it was unforgettable, but in terms of consistency, this year is the best I've seen." Galarreta, who first joined Lezama as an 11-year-old, has been outstanding since his return to Bilbao from RCD Mallorca two seasons ago, making 74 appearances for Los Leones. The 31-year-old has played a major role in Ernesto Valverde's system since returning to San Mames, providing balance, vision and character in midfield. Galarreta said he was "very happy to be able to extend this dream for another two years". "Everything I've experienced on my return home has been amazing and we're looking forward to what's to come," he continued. "Not long ago I was playing in the second division, which is also very difficult and I valued it a lot, and next season I'll be listening to the Champions League anthem on the San Mamés pitch, something I could never have imagined."

Panama and Venezuela to resume flights suspended for almost a year in diplomatic tensions
Panama and Venezuela will resume commercial flights nearly a year after suspending them when they broke off diplomatic relations, Panama's Civil Aviation Authority said Thursday. Venezuela pulled its diplomatic representation from Panama last July after Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino refused to recognize Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's reelection. The Association of Venezuelan Airlines said that flights would resume 'gradually.' 'All of the airlines that had permits can begin to operate when their itineraries allow,' Marisela De Loaiza, president of the association, said in a statement. The Venezuelan government did not immediately comment. Earlier Thursday, Mulino said during his weekly news briefing that he had received a letter from Venezuela, but that he hadn't immediately read it. Mulino did say, however, that it would be in Panama's interest to resume flights, though he said he also wanted Venezuela to agree to receive Venezuelan migrants deported from Panama. Some commercial airlines had already begun advertising flights between Panama and Venezuela on Thursday. Panamanian carrier Copa announced flights would resume and said its team was working to confirm the itineraries. Venezolana Airlines advertised a flight beginning on Friday. Earlier this week, Venezuela banned the arrival of flights from Colombia after it said it had arrested more than 30 people who were allegedly plotting activities to destabilize the country ahead of legislative elections Sunday. Last July, Panama was one of the first Latin American countries to demand from Venezuelan authorities a full review of the presidential electoral results after the country's electoral authority declared Maduro the winner.
