European Parliament urges Poland to observe rule of law

There has been no fundamental slowdown in markets so far because of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, top officials from the financial services sector said today.

President of the European Council Donald Tusk looks on during a joint news conference at the government headquarters Rosenbad in Stockholm, Sweden, September 9, 2016.

“You can always start with more technical matters, but the hardcore, the hard topics, will be tackled after the constitution of a new German government and that will be October/November”. “That will be October-November”.

Speaking to the BBC, Herman Van Rompuy described the UK’s decision to leave the European Union as a “political amputation”.

“Any negotiation will be a hard negotiation, independent of the personalities”.

“Of course we want an agreement that represents some sort of mutual benefit”.

The year-on-year increase in sales, excluding petrol, last month was also higher than the 4.8 percent forecast by economists and a pick-up from 5.8 percent annual growth in July. At one vital point, France and Germany, the founding political and industrial engine of the European Union, get together to set out the lines for others to follow.

In a centuries-old castle in the middle of their fractious continent, European Union leaders on Friday anxiously sought to forge a sense of common goal in the face of the planned departure of Britain and fundamental disagreements over everything from uncontrolled migration to the economy.

“The big question is, even if there is some room for manoeuvre, is this sufficient for the British negotiators?”

The amendment meant that the tribunal would need a two-thirds majority to take a decision on constitutional matters instead of a simple majority. The commission has created procedures for monitoring Poland’s respect for the EU’s rule of law that could potentially lead to revoking of Poland’s voting rights as a member state.

Mr Van Rompuy came under serious criticism from outgoing Ukip leader Nigel Farage after he said Brexit negotiations could take “years and years”.

Britain meanwhile is left out in the cold, with the Times newspaper saying said it was being treated as a “pariah state” and should have a say on issues which still affect it while it remains in the bloc.

This had been shown during the election of Jean-Claude Juncker as President of the European Commission in 2014, when Britain was “isolated” in its opposition to him, he added. “We have to assure. our citizens that we have learned the lesson from Brexit and we are able to bring back stability and a sense of security and effective protection”.

“That image of a strong Europe, that is tarnished a lot after Brexit”.
