The European Union is in trouble. Some governments are teetering on default, and even German creditworthiness is questioned. Interbank lending in the euro area is increasingly strained. The entire project of European economic integration, wrought through six decades of delicate negotiation, seems at risk of collapse. In the U.S., meanwhile, European leaders are being criticized ...

How could so many clever people get it so wrong?

2011-10-24 17:01:00
Greening the European Union has suffered a setback. The European Biodiesel Board is reporting that the European Union biodiesel industry production forecasts are noting a 2011 decrease in output, the first since data has been gathered, down from 2010 figures of 9.57 million tons. The European Biodiesel Board reported that biodiesel generation in Europe in 2010 grew by 5.5 percent over 2009 production figures, while in 2009 the European Union’s biodiesel industry grew by 17 percent. Recently the European Union’s best year for biodiesel output was 2008, when the growth rate surged 35 percent over 2007 levels.

Europe?s Case of ?Chief Executive Envy?
2010-03-19 14:08:00
Every time Europe goes through one of its occasional crises, calls arise across the continent for ’stronger leadership.’ The perception of having feeble leadership was a major factor in the push for the Lisbon Treaty, which went into effect late in 2009 and created a president for the European Council and a high representative for ...
What Conservatives do not understand about the Euro
2010-03-03 09:30:00
Conservative economists triumphantly expect that the end of the euro is nigh. They take the Greek budget troubles as proof: one size cannot fit all. But they are wrong. The euro has contributed to the largest job creation in Europe?s history: 15.1 million new jobs in the first decade compared to 3.9 million in the ...

The West, Especially Britain, More Dangerous to Israel than the Arabs
2008-12-14 13:16:00
The West has a history of nearly 2000 years of vilifying, defaming, and falsely accusing Jews, as well as persecuting them. Christian Judeophobia and anti-Judaism based on religion was joined by "post-Christian" Judeophobia in the writings of Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Voltaire, d'Holbach and others. Most of the "post-Christian" Judeophobia actually had roots in the teachings of the Christian reformer, Martin Luther. Be that as it may, Judeophobia in word and practice culminated in the Holocaust. Has this Judeophobia ended? Or has it changed form? Has it just changed its dress? Is today's fashionable "anti-Zionism" just old wine in new bottles?[?????? : ???? ????? ????? ???? ]Next question. What does the West want in the Middle East? Does it want peace between Israel and the Arabs? Does it want peace without Israel, that is, peace of mind for antisemites? Does it want war?If the West wants peace between Israel and the Arabs, then why does it finance the PLO/Palestinian Authority? The E...
Anti-Jewish Racists Deny the Jewish Right to Live in Judea-Samaria
2008-06-18 05:14:00
It seems that the Palestinian Authority is the tail that wags the Western dog, making its overly generous Western benefactors jump through the hoops of "politically correct" Judeophobia and anti-Jewish racism, particularly, but not only, on the "settlement" issue. Do Jews have the right to live in Judea-Samaria, the heart of the ancient Land of Israel? The palestinian authority denies this right. Its brothers in the Arab League delightedly pick up the relay baton to beat the Jews with, and major Western powers fall in line. Saudi Arabia shares the denial of Jewish rights with other Arab League members and has great influence over American policy as well. Saudi money also influences other Arab states. Indeed, one report claims that a proposed UN Security Council resolution against Israeli "settlements" actually originated with the Saudis, not the palestinian authority.Meanwhile, Condoleezza Rice has accepted the Arab claims and joined in the hate chorus against Israel. She does not w...

The Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) With The European Union: "... hold
2008-06-02 23:01:00
Union boss weighs in on EPA proposal: By KEVA LIGHTBOURNE, NG Senior Reporter - Nassau, Bahamas: Less than a week after scores of Bahamians participated in a peaceful demonstration in the city's center in protest of the government's proposed signing of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union, a leading trade unionist yesterday called for more consultation on the move. Bahamas Public Services Union president, John Pinder, said the labor organization had gone on record to the government that the country was not ready for such a move, "as it holds no benefits for The Bahamas". "We have to now get some more consultation with them on the EPA before anything happens," said Pinder, who was a guest on Island FM's radio talk show "Parliament Street". The EPA is designed to open up trade between Caribbean and European countries. The Bahamas has not signed any part of the EPA agreement to date. Among the concerns are provisions under the services portion...

Dmitry Medvedev may be the new president, but his predecessor is still the one with power. We can expect a few proclamations and perhaps even token policy changes.

The European Union and Russia: Divide, rule or waffle

The European Union cannot agree over how to deal with Russia. That suits the Kremlin just fine SEEN from outside, one might imagine that the European Union (population 495m, GDP of $16.8 trillion) was a rather intimidating neighbour for Russia (population 142m, GDP of $1.3 trillion). Yet the reality is the other way round. In recent ...

As Europe ages - how can we tackle its demographic decline?
2008-04-26 19:31:00
At current trends the average age of people in the European Union will be 49 years by 2050. Combining this with a low birth-rate could mean serious long term implications. It could lead to lower tax receipts as fewer people are of working age and increasing health costs for an aging population. Encouraging immigration and ...

The Great European Union (EU) Betrayal
2008-04-02 23:29:00
An erosion of democracy:- By The Nassau Institute - Nassau, Bahamas: The new European Union treaty approved at a summit of member states in Lisbon in October, 2007, has attracted fierce opposition in Britain. It has been labeled "the great EU betrayal". The controversy is as much about the accountability of an elected government to its voters, and the implications for democracy, as the nature of the new powers ceded to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. In an article published in The Tribune last October, the Nassau Institute examined the debate leading up to the EU summit meeting. The treaty was designed, ostensibly, to improve the working of the EU's existing institutions, though many claimed that it was identical to the new EU constitution which had been rejected by French and Dutch voters in 2005. Fast forward now to March this year when members of parliament at Westminster voted against holding a referendum about the treaty. This was preceded by pressure on the Labor ...

Bin Laden Warns European Union About Dane Cartoons
2008-03-20 13:05:00
Hiding somewhere in the mountains around the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden lashed out at the European Union and warned its leaders that terrible punishment awaited those who supported publication of the infamous Danish cartoons. “Your publications of these drawings-part of a new crusade in which the Pope of the Vatican had a significant role- is a confirmation from you that the war continues” he said in a mesage specifically addessed to “those who are wise at the European Union.” He insisted the cartoons were an example of “testing Muslims” and “the answeer will be what you shall see and not what you shall hear. May our mothers lose us to death if we did not rise in defence of the messenger of God.” The al-Qaeda leader apparently regards publicaiton of the cartoons as a graver offence than “bombing of modest villages” that resulted in the deah of women and children. Perhaps, in those lonely n...
European Union Funds the Development of Google Rival

JAPAN: Rich nations need 80 pct emission cuts
2008-02-26 00:13:00
Japan, the European Union and the United States would each need to cut greenhouse gasses by more than 80 percent for the world to meet a goal of halving emissions by 2050, Japanese scientists said Thursday.A summit last year of the Group of Eight rich nations agreed to "seriously consider" halving global emissions by 2050 in hopes of halting global warming.To achieve such a goal, Japan -- which is already far behind in meeting its current commitments -- would need to cut emissions by 85 percent by 2050 from 1990 levels, said Norichika Kanie, assistant professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.His joint research with Yasuaki Hijioka, researcher at the National Institute of Environmental Studies, found that the United States would need to cut emissions by 88 percent and the European Union by 83 percent.He made the calculations on the premise that all countries will emit at the same level on a per capita basis by 2050.The United States has rejected the Kyoto Protocol, the landmark...

The Pretended -and False- Premises of the "peace Process" & Lies Contributi
2008-02-24 22:54:00
The whole so-called "peace process" is rife with fraud, if it deserves at all to be called a "peace process." Shmuel Trigano for one suggests that the very term "peace process" does not fit what is really going on.Here are some of the "peace process" frauds:1) There is an ancient people called "Palestinians," somehow separate and distinct from the Arabs as a whole, who deserve a state. The notion of a "palestinian people" is a crude lie. But this does not hold back the diplomats. False history is very much in vogue. Just look at how UK and US misinformation organs, like the BBC, have been able to keep hidden the real history of Bosnia and Kossovo. That is, they have managed to erase the centuries-long oppression of Serbs in Bosnia and Kossovo by Bosnian Muslims and Kossovo Muslim Albanians, encouraged by the Ottoman Empire when it ruled those areas. Further, the more recent enlistment by many Bosnian and Kossovo Muslims in German Nazi SS units [the Handschar (= khanjar) and the Skan...

GERMANY: Berlin is the Capital of Solar Technology in European Union
2008-02-15 19:51:00
Berlin's Adlershof district is striving to become the place to be when it comes to solar technology. In Europe's largest science park, the experiment to merge science and industry is now taking off.Located on the eastern outskirts of Berlin, Adlershof is a quick 20-minute train ride from the city center. In GDR times Adlershof was Berlin's celebrated socialist science mecca. So when Germany's reunification threatened its further existence, the area embarked on an experiment: the creation of a science park, merging solar technology research with solar industry, in one winning equation.Since 1993, Berlin has invested billions of euros in the area -- billions the heavily indebted city doesn't have. But Adlershof's public relations manager, Peter Strunk said it was money well-invested in a bold vision, born of necessity."This science park project was created to prevent us from social catastrophe after reunification," Strunk said. "There were so many research facilities located her...
