After Brexit, The Netherlands Must Work More Closely

After Brexit, the Netherlands must Work more Closely with Spain and Italy. After the Brexit, the Netherlands has to look for new allies. It can be read in a Friday published advice from the Advisory Council on International Affairs (AIV) at the request of the House of Representatives. Traditionally the Netherlands is on a par with the Northern European countries, the Benelux countries and the Baltic States, but they do not form a majority within the EU. Therefore, the focus should be on better collaboration with large Member States such as Spain and Italy. In Europe, the Netherlands could usually count on the support of the United Kingdom when it came to plans for trade, the European multiannual budget or to curb pro-European policies of France and Germany. Member States f...

How to Position the New Role in the UK after Brexit

After Brexit, Britain's top priority is to clarify how its foreign policy influences the international landscape and what mechanisms are in place to preserve the influence of the UK's “new role”. Looking back at history, strategic thinking about "where the UK is going" has been around for a long time. Today, this historical issue has returned to the public eye. In 1962, US Secretary of State Dean Acheson claimed that "Great Britain lost its empire but failed to find a new role. She attempted to play a unique role of power, a role that deviated from Europe and based on the special relationship between the United States and Britain; A role based on the leadership of the Commonwealth. This federation has no dominant power, no political consensus, no power, and enjoys a fragile and ...

IMF: Hard Brexit Badly Hits The Netherlands

IMF: Hard Brexit badly Hits the Netherlands. The Netherlands is one of the countries most likely to be hit by a so-called 'hard Brexit', according to a calculation by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Friday. If the United Kingdom leaves the European Union without trade agreements, the scenario of a strong Brexit, the Netherlands can make 0.7 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). The calculation of the IMF also shows that only Ireland will be hit harder. For this country, the decline would be 4 percent. The IMF investigated the outcomes of a tough Brexit for the 27 European member states. Also reveals that especially open economies that trade a lot with the United Kingdom, such as Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium, will be hit relatively more heavily. ...

Verstappen Is In The Final Phase, Vettel Wins Grand Prix Of Great Britain

Verstappen is in the Final Phase, Vettel Wins Grand Prix of Great Britain. Max Verstappen failed early on Sunday in the Grand Prix of Great Britain. Sebastian Vettel won the exciting race at the Silverstone circuit. Lewis Hamilton came back to second place after being held backwards in the first round. Verstappen seemed to take his fifth podium of the season for a long time, but by a spin, in the final phase, he fell back to the twelfth place and not much later he even had to put his car aside because of a difficulty with the brakes. The Dutchman of Red Bull Racing last week in Austria convincingly won his first Grand Prix victory of the season and his fourth from his career. Behind Vettel from Ferrari and Hamilton from Mercedes, Kimi Raikkonen from Ferrari (third) achieved the ...

Cry for Help and Employers: Hurry up with that Brexit!

Cry for Help and Employers: Hurry up with that Brexit! London and Brussels have to make much more haste with the Brexit. If they do not agree on the time and the British leave the Union without agreement by the end of March next year, it will be disastrous for companies, workers and communities on both sides of the Channel. British and European trade unions and employers' organisations say this in a collective cry for help to the European leaders of state and government, who will have the Brexit again on their agenda next Friday. On behalf of 45 million employees and 20 million employers, the four organisations (BusinessEurope, the Confederation of British Industry, the Trades Union Congress and the European Trade Union Confederation) are calling on the leaders to put a great dea...

Gareth Southgate: England does not Shy from Anyone at World Cup

The English national coach Gareth Southgate has emphasised that his team does not want anyone to get out of the way at the World Cup. The current state of affairs in the groups is for discussion for lovers of conspiracy theories, says Vital News. It now seems that it is better in the group from England to finish in second place, because the route to the final looks a bit easier."We can not think like that, we want to win every game," says Southgate. "We are not going to go down on slippery ice and want to play and perform as best as possible." On Thursday, England and Belgium will play in their mutual duel who will be the first and who will finish second in the group. With six points, both countries are already sure of a spot in the eighth-finals. The target figures are the same ...

British Prime Minister May Survives Important Vote in Parliament

The British Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a Important vote in the British House of Commons on Wednesday about the Brexit and the role that the parliament would receive if no agreement were reached with the EU. May had to make concessions to the EU-minded 'rebels' within her own Conservative Party, published by the EYE News. The United Kingdom will leave the EU on 29 March of next year. The British government is currently negotiating with EU leaders about the settlement of this Brexit and future mutual relations. The House of Commons had to vote on Wednesday about a proposal that would give the parliament more say if these negotiations were to come to nothing. It is far from evident that the EU and May will find an agreement. If there is an agreement, the British parliam...

Abramovich Missed FA Cup Final because of Visa Problems

Abramovich Missed FA Cup Final because of Visa Problems. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was not at the FA Cup final against Manchester United yesterday, because the visa of the Russian billionaire has not been renewed by the United Kingdom. That reports Financial Times and the 99 News. The British newspaper relies on two people who are close to the Chelsea owner. His visa expired last month and was not renewed. The reason would be the tense relationship between England and Russia after the poisoning of the Russian ex-double spy Sergei Skripal. Abramovich, who has a capital of 9.3 billion pounds, bought Chelsea in 2003, but never stayed permanently in England. The London club won five national titles under Russian, five times the FA Cup, the Champions League and the Europa League. Yeste...
