effective response to these concerns would support competition, foster innovation and increase choice for
consumers with mobile wallets on their iPhones.
We note that Apple?s proposed commitments would not give third parties full access to the secure element (SE),
but only allow for the usage of Host Card Emulation (HCE).
Crucially, access to the SE is vital for mobile device based offline digital euro payments.

proposed commitments, which do not provide full access to the SE of iOS smart phones, would not facilitate
offline payments with digital euro on iPhones.
We understand that the Commission?s antitrust investigation, and Apple?s proposed commitments on access to
NFC technology, are limited to in-store payments with iOS smart phones.
As a result, the ability of merchants to accept payments with Apple devices other than
through ApplePay might be limited.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for other Commission initiatives which have
implications for the European retail payment ecosystem.

BUSAN, South Korea, Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hadley circulation is a key atmospheric circulation pattern in the tropics. It helps even out the temperature between the equator and the poles by moving energy and momentum toward higher latitudes. However, recent studies indicate that the Hadley circulation cells have expanded toward the poles in the 21st century, increasing by several degrees each year. This expansion can have a substantial impact on the global weather and climate, resulting in adverse events like heatwaves, droughts, and tropical cyclones. Although some studies have investigated the factors affecting the north-south variations of the Hadley cell, there is a lack of understanding about the dynamic mechanisms responsible for the year-to-year shifts.

Key Points:

It helps even out the temperature between the equator and the poles by moving energy and momentum toward higher latitudes.
This expansion can have a substantial impact on the global weather and climate, resulting in adverse events like heatwaves, droughts, and tropical cyclones.
Now, in a recent study published in the journal npj Climate and Atmospheric Science on 7 December 2023, led by Professor Kyong-Hwan Seo from Pusan National University, researchers have proposed a physical model that explains the shifts in the Northern Hemisphere Hadley cell edge latitude.
Overall, this research is expected to have significant implications on our understanding of regional as well as global weather patterns!
