AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoDisposable vapes crackdown: Only three EU countries have banned disposable vapes so far, but momentum is building fast. Belgium, France and Bulgaria (plus the UK) have nationwide bans, while Austria and Ireland are expected to follow and Germany, Poland, Spain, Slovakia, Latvia and Slovenia are debating similar rules. The push is driven by youth-use concerns and the environmental hit from single-use devices with batteries and plastics. Cross-border nuclear waste dispute: Bosnia and Herzegovina is set to join a cross-border environmental impact assessment for a planned radioactive waste disposal center on Trgovska Gora in Croatia, with BiH saying it can access full documentation and comment—while experts in the Federation of BiH argue the site is unsuitable and legal experts warn Croatia acted before the assessment was completed. Wildfire smog risk: Heavy smoke from Canadian wildfires has worsened air quality across parts of the US East Coast, including the World Cup final match area in New Jersey, raising health concerns for players and spectators.
