The product is built by Beresol, a Brussels-based public affairs technology company founded by Victor Solé Ferioli.

At Beresol we've created a very potent API and scraper to the europa.eu digital ecosystem. We get so much data from and about the EU (legally!) that we can use #AI to build on that data and, of course, to #analyse it. The #EU is not only a bureaucratic giant, it is also a giant pile of data (and that data keeps being made and made and made, and it's not that AI-sloppy!). Data of anything you / we can imagine. The data is there, it is both very well organised and managed (such as in and from the Publications Office of theLinkedIn · 4 Nov 2026
QuotedBrubru@brubrueuWho gets the European Commission's time? And who gets EU money? You would expect the two lists to look much the same. So we had a look, crossing three public #EU datasets. (They turn out rather different...!) Let's start with the meetings. Since January 2025, Commission managers down to Heads of Unit have had to publish their meetings with lobbyists, with some exceptions. That gives nearly two years of records. We took the organisations in the EU lobby register (the public list of those who try to influence EU policy) and counted one seat at the table for each of them at each meeting. Trade associations and unions hold 31% of those seats. Companies 42%. NGOs 16%. Universities, think tanks and research bodies just 5%. Now the money. In the #EUbudget's own transparency files for 2024 and 2025, we could match €14.3bn of the €188bn committed to organisations in that register. Trade associations and unions get 0.6% of it. Companies 29%. NGOs 9%. Universities, think tanks and research bodies 45% (between 34% and 67%, depending on how you count). Is this a scandal? No. It is a map. Associations exist to speak for their members, and EU research programmes exist to fund researchers. It also says nothing about cause. Two shares side by side do not show that a meeting leads to money, or the reverse. When we tested the order, money then meetings and meetings then money looked about the same. One small thing we did find: at the same size, organisations that receive EU money are about 6 points more likely to have met the Commission. That gap is much the same for NGOs and for companies. These files live on different EU websites. Brubru holds them side by side, which is what made this possible. So, for those who know #Brussels: is this a healthy split between those who speak and those who are funded, or does it tell us something else about who gets heard?
So here is my question: would you accept "silence means yes" for a factory down your road, if it gets Europe ready by 2030? The #EU has adopted four new defence laws introducing significant changes to permitting, funding, chemicals exemptions and procurement. The most striking measure is the introduction of a “silence means consent” principle for designated defence projects, with permits automatically granted if authorities fail to respond within 42 working days (up to 102 in exceptional cases), applicable from February 2027. TheLinkedIn · 3 Nov 2026
QuotedBrubru@brubrueuWhat if an authority's silence counted as a yes? As of this morning, that is written into #EU law for defence projects. Four new defence laws came out in the Official Journal (the EU's gazette) today. We had a look at all four, and these are the lines that stayed with me. Permits: each country decides which projects count as "defence readiness" projects. Those get a single contact point and a limit of 42 working days from a complete application, 102 at most in exceptional cases. If the limit passes with no answer, the permits are deemed granted. (Yikes, or finally? It probably depends on whether you run the project or live next door.) Before anyone panics: this only covers applications filed from 24 February 2027. Affected people can challenge a permit granted this way. Countries can stop silence counting as a yes in exceptional cases of grave risk to health or national security, if their national law says so by 24 November 2027. And assessments, public consultations and the environmental conventions still apply, the law says. Money: a new programme called #AGILE enters into force tomorrow: an indicative EUR 115 million for 2027, for small and medium-sized firms building new defence products, paying up to 100% of eligible costs. The Commission promises four months to a grant, and 20 to 30 projects. The detail I did not expect: it can also help pay for a firm on such a project to move its base or its management from outside to the EU or an associated country. What it will not fund: lethal autonomous weapons without meaningful human control over strikes on humans. Chemicals: countries could already exempt defence from REACH (the EU's main chemicals law) and from the labelling and biocide rules "in specific cases". From 23 November those words are gone. The test is simply "where necessary in the interests of defence". Buying: the EU's defence procurement rules will start at EUR 2 million for goods and services (today EUR 432,000) and EUR 10 million for works (today EUR 5.4 million). Countries have until 24 November 2027 to write this into national law and must apply it by 24 February 2028. Brubru reads the #OfficialJournal every morning, which is how these reached me today.

The work that the people working at the Publications Office of the European Union is truly amazing. They offer (for free!) hundreds of datasets, free to check, download, analyse, and manage. All the AI-powered legislative monitors, all the EU-related data providers, all the LegTech and GovTech with EU data fetch from the EU Data Portal. It's one of the main sources of information, and it is important to, from time to time, give them the wholesome credit they deserve. So what better way to use their Licencing Assistant?

How many laws are in the EU #ChipsAct? I counted, and the answer is not one, but four! Yes, yes, the Chips Act itself is the first and the most important, but it also changes a second, the Digital Europe Programme. It has also a sister law, proposed with it and published the same day, which is the third and changes a fourth: the rules for the EUs research partnerships under Horizon Europe. (Count only the Chips Act and the law it changes and you get two. It depends on where you draw the line.) Together they run to 14 legal texts:LinkedIn · 14 Oct 2026
