For several years, as cryptocurrency prices have periodically surged and pulled back, steady growth of interest in Blockchain, distributed ledgers and smart contracts has been unmistakable. Still, many observers have noted that there is no consensus about what a smart contract is (including whether one must involve Blockchain at all) and what the term actually means. Despite the ever-increasing discussion of smart contracts, many continue to search for real uses and to question whether there will be widespread adoption.
This article will attempt to make sense of what a smart contract is and provide clear, descriptive, and accurate terminology for smart contracts, with a focus on the insurance industry. It argues that smart contracts make real sense, have real uses, will lead to real change in the insurance industry, and can likely be enforced under existing law.

On 21 May 2024, the European Council (or Council) adopted the so-called ‘Hydrogen and decarbonised gas market package’ (the Gas Package). The package contains a recast of the 715/2009 gas regulation (Gas Regulation) and a recast of the 2009/73 gas directive (Gas Directive) aimed at reforming the existing EU regulatory framework to support the deployment of renewable and low-carbon gases, in particular hydrogen. As such, it represents a major development in the EU gas market.
