    We begin with ESMA's confirmation of new position limits proposed by Germany’s BaFin affecting the European Energy Exchange’s German Power Base contracts, ensuring market integrity across spot and future months.

    In France, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) has officially withdrawn APICAP’s portfolio management license following the transfer or cessation of its alternative investment funds.

    Cybersecurity remains a critical area with multiple severe vulnerabilities disclosed in PostgreSQL databases, IBM, Siemens, and Axis Communications products. Some flaws remain unpatched, emphasizing the urgent need for vigilance and timely updates.

    The French National Institute for AI Evaluation and Security (INESIA) has launched its 2026-2027 roadmap focusing on AI regulation, systemic risk, performance evaluation, and shared tools to promote safer AI deployment.
