The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that New York Packaging, which does business as Redi-Bag, and its chief executive, have agreed to resolve allegations that they falsely declared the country of origin of imported polyethylene retail carrier bags, allowing the company to avoid antidumping duties owed to the United States.
Norway's financial sector entered 2026 from a position most regulators would envy. Payment services remained stable throughout the previous year, operational disruptions stayed broadly in line with recent experience, and none of the ICT incidents reported in 2025 threatened financial stability. That stability, however, is not what concerns the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority.
The European Data Protection Board is attempting to answer some of the questions that have lingered around the GDPR almost since the regulation took effect. When is data truly anonymous? What obligations apply when developers scrape the web to train generative AI? And how should organizations think about personal data on blockchain networks?
There is an understated honesty in the way the Monetary Authority of Singapore begins its latest sustainability report.

Geopolitical tensions have reordered priorities. Funding is less certain. Energy security has reclaimed a place near the top of government agendas. Yet the physical risks associated with a warming planet have shown little interest in waiting for political consensus to return.
Nearly two-thirds of the small and medium-sized businesses surveyed by the European Union’s cybersecurity agency had heard of the Cyber Resilience Act. Knowing that a law exists, however, is not the same as knowing what to do about it.
The Dutch central bank has fined payment institution CCV Netherlands €2.65 million after finding that deficiencies in its transaction monitoring system persisted for more than two years, leaving thousands of merchant profiles improperly processed and potentially suspicious activity inadequately examined.

Edwards Lifesciences paid $115 million for JC Medical in July 2024, an amount that landed just beneath the $119.5 million threshold that would have required the transaction to be reported to federal antitrust authorities. It was close, but close does not count in a statute governed by arithmetic. The Federal Trade Commission says the math was incomplete.
