- Sector stakeholders await signals after the failed 24 September offshore wind tender off Oléron, with decarbonization and shipping security, including so‑called ghost fleets, highlighted by recent presidential interventions.
- Macron will then hold a discussion in Rochefort with middle and high school students on the impact of social networks and screen time on mental health and daily life, following a 28 October Élysée session with 200 experts.
