谁想在欧洲年度文化选美中大变样？
欧盟每年评选欧洲文化之都，今年斯洛伐克特伦钦和芬兰奥卢获选，项目旨在通过文化投资促进城市复兴和欧洲团结。申请需提前六年准备，城市要证明有战略、资源和政治支持。预算差异大，马赛2013年预算最高。项目从1985年雅典首办以来，已从庆祝文化名城演变为城市再生工具。

塑料生活，并不那么美好
欧盟8月12日起实施新的包装法规，限制食品包装中的PFAS（永久化学品），并要求外卖商家免费提供可重复使用容器。2030年起，至少10%的外卖食品需用可重复使用包装，部分一次性塑料（如水果保鲜膜、调味酱小包、酒店小瓶洗发水）将被禁用。包装减量目标为2030年降5%、2040年降15%。新规还引入QR码标签帮助回收商识别包装成分。企业界批评回收规则成本过高，欧盟委员会已计划放宽至少一项期限。

The little-known benefit of our summer slump
Europeans have a bit of a stereotype: don't try to work with them in August – they'll all be out of office. The French head for the coast, Scandinavians retreat to their summer cabins, and the British...
