Last update: 11 hours ago

Fuel Costs: Around 50 lorries blocked lanes at a toll in southern France, protesting diesel at €2.25 a litre. Drivers say rising costs threaten businesses from independent hauliers to couriers. SME Finance: Ireland has doubled its Growth and Sustainability Loan Scheme to €1 billion and extended it to June 2029. About 2,000 businesses have already borrowed through the programme. Security Risks: European intelligence agencies warn that small firms making drones and components for Ukraine may be targets of Russian plots, prompting companies to tighten security. Energy Relief: UK manufacturers can now apply for support covering up to 25% of power bills, plus a first-year payout. Red Tape: The European Commission is asking commercial fishers about ways to simplify reporting and administration.
