I asked @vestager whether her two wins in the EU's top court today -- against Apple and Google -- were a vindication of her work as the EU's competition commissioner over the past 10 years

Here's what she said 👇

Wow, what a piece, like a punch to the gut

Today i started my holidays, november 16th is my final day, what timing!

[Belgian Royal Palace @MonarchieBe]

Le Roi a reçu @Bart_DeWever en audience. À l’issue de ses entretiens avec les présidents des cinq partis de la majorité, le Roi a décidé de refuser la démission du Premier ministre et lui a demandé de reprendre les négociations budgétaires dès à présent.

[Max Ramsay @maxramsay]

Despite a political crisis that could in the most extreme case bring down the De Wever government tomorrow, the Belgian-German 10 year yield spread is back under 100 basis points

(Mostly thanks to the market moves following the US election)

Belgium and Engie's deadline in talks for the company's nuclear activities delayed until December 12 with "significant differences" on valuation

Occupational hazard of commenting to journalists after leaving the Belgian royal palace, as demonstrated by Conner Rousseau, it's hard to get their mics out of your car...

[Max Ramsay @maxramsay]

There's a lot of interesting stuff in the OECD's economic survey of Belgium, out yesterday (and always more nuanced than a headline can suggest) but the chart on the right really struck me

Highlights the challenge that meeting NATO defense commitments will be and how fast pension and health costs are coming

The Belgian government lives for the week at least

The palace says it will reserve its decision on De Wever's resignation -- the king will meet other coalition party leaders from tomorrow and again with De Wever on friday

[Max Ramsay @maxramsay]

Big day in Belgian politics, PM Bart De Wever is visiting the King, widely expected to offer his resignation

To be seen: whether it's a repeat of last year (he gets back to work and it adds pressure on partners for a budget deal) or the end of the Arizona government...

[Max Ramsay @maxramsay]

Belgian ten year bonds unbothered by the risk of government collapse so far, yield down two basis points today

[Max Ramsay @maxramsay]

@Mij_Europe The Europe Elects tweet isn't accurate, he's gone to see the king and is expected to offer his resignation but anything could still happen...

Five EU countries are planning to set up a deportation hub in Rwanda, reviving the UK's failed plans. We traced possible locations on the ground, and found they could use centres funded by Britain: https://t.co/wzF2BaD3jL

@Stijn_Baert Dus €6.000 inclusief het flexiloon, toch? Niet €6.000 uit de vaste job (+het flexiloon erbovenop)?
