Affaires Européennes

Affaires Européennes is a French-language editorial interview show about the making of European policy. It works in short, structured sequences. Each file is treated as a live negotiation rather than a finished institutional announcement. Recent episodes on European preference show the format at its clearest: a political phrase becomes a set of questions about public procurement, industrial capacity, cost limits, trade reciprocity, and dependence on China or the United States. The tone is rigorous. The conversation often begins with a simple definition, then presses toward the economic and legal consequences that follow. On industrial policy, the show asks how far Europe can favor its own firms without closing its market or weakening competition inside the single market. On artificial intelligence, it separates the symbolic importance of the AI Act from the harder problem of making rules work for providers, deployers, administrations, regulators, and rights holders. Copyright, general-purpose AI, codes of practice, and proof of conformity are handled as practical levers, not decoration. The show also gives space to broader risk debates around AI, including the gap between present harms and more speculative fears. It does not turn those questions into spectacle. Instead, it places them inside legal method, probability, taxonomy, and institutional responsibility. Media policy receives a similarly strategic treatment. Episodes trace how European media became a public policy concern, why platforms changed the economics of information, and why the EU still struggles to produce widely recognized European media actors. The format is compact, but the questions are not small. It is built for listeners who want European policy translated into decisions, incentives, and constraints. Affaires Européennes is less about daily political drama than about the files that quietly define what Europe can defend, regulate, subsidize, or refuse.
