The EC Discusses Priorities For the Future of Europe in the Next Term
EU leaders, without the UK, will meet on May 9th at an informal meeting in the Romanian city of Sibiu to discuss the future of Europe. The European Commission today presented guidelines for EU development after the May and UK elections. _What has changed in Europe in the last 5 years and what are the expectations of Brussels for the future, says our correspondent Desislava Apostolova from BNT. _ Roaming prices, the creation of a European Prosecutor's Office, the rescue of Greece from bankruptcy, the ban on plastic packaging, the Refugee Agreement with Turkey, the Posting of Workers Directive, the Presidential Agreement on the name of Northern Macedonia and the Paris Climate Agreement are just some of the things , which the current European Commission regards as its success. The EU term expires on October 31, and her chairman Jean-Claude Juncker and he said that he will not run again. At the end of his mandate, the Juncker Committee presented an 80-page document outlining its achievements and development trends over the next 5 years. In his view, the European Union must continue to protect its citizens, to be competitive, just, influential and sustainable. Margaritis Skinas, spokesperson for the European Commission: The summit in Sibiu next week allows European leaders from the 27 countries to define new, ambitious and realistic goals for the next political term, which begins very soon after the European elections in late May . Specific solutions at the Sibiu meeting, which takes place on Europe Day, are not expected. It is rather symbolic because it is on the eve of the European elections before the UK finally left the EU and at a time when Europe continues to be divided on important topics such as migration or new rules in transport, for example. No concrete solutions are expected, because voters across Europe are the ones who will decide with their voice at the end of May what will be the future of Europe.

Eurozone growth rises, unemployment falls, and Italy escapes recession – business live
Eurozone economy grew by 0.4% in the last quarter, faster than expected, as Italy escaped its third recession in a decade * Italy: Recession is over * Eurozone unemployment lowest since Lehman Brothers failed * Eurozone beats forecasts with 0.4% growth Earlier: * Spain grew by a punchy 0.7% in last quarter * France: grew by 0.3%, but net trade contracted * Introduction: Eurozone GDP day 12.43pm BST ANA ANDRADE, research analyst at THE ECONOMIST INTELLIGENCE UNIT, reckons the eurozone economy still needs support - so don’t expect the European Central Bank to raise interest rates anytime soon! She writes: At the ECB’s last meeting Mario Draghi showed that the bank’s toolkit could be adjusted to tackle a potential severe economic downturn. The ECB signalled it was ready to go “low for longer” or even further cut rates if the euro zone headed into a recession. If the flash estimate for Q1 is confirmed at 0.4% there should be no need for this. Nevertheless, we continue to expect TLTROs [new cheap loans to banks] in very favourable terms and no hike this year as inflationary pressures remain low. 12.32pm BST PwC have helpfully drawn up this chart, showing how Spain has posted a strong recovery since the debt crisis, but Greece has really struggled: The national breakdown of the data showed the Italian economy grew in the first quarter of this year putting an end to its 6th recession in the 21st century. For France, even though output expanded by a respectable 0.3% on a quarter-on-quarter basis it was less strong than expected. However, we expect the recent tax cuts announced by the French authorities to sustain demand in the short-term, assuming households continue to spend rather than save. Finally, Spain continued to defy expectations growing at a rate of 0.7% quarter-on-quarter in line with its post Eurozone crisis average rate. The figure below shows that Spain’s GDP in level terms is now around 16% higher compared to the low it struck during the Eurozone crisis. This is the second best performance when compared to other peripheral economies, with sunny Cyprus managing to outperform others growing its economy by about 18%. Continue reading...

San Diego terrorist attack was a reminder that antisemitism is alive and deadly
The most worrying increase in antisemitism, Cas Mudde writes, is in terms of incidents which have exploded in the US since Trump’s election The terrorist attack on a San Diego synagogue, six months to the date after the terrorist attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue, was yet another painful reminder of two disturbing facts: (1) antisemitism is alive and deadly; and (2) antisemitism is part of the polarized partisan debate. As three victims were still being cared for in a San Diego hospital, conservatives from Meghan McCain to Zionist of America (ZOA) president Morton Klein were trying to link the terrorist attack to Muslim members of Congress – even though the suspected terrorist is both antisemitic and Islamophobic. Antisemitism is too serious to either ignore or instrumentalize. Often dubbed the “oldest hatred,” it is also still one of the most widely spread. According to a much-quoted 2014 survey by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), more than 1 billion people in the world “harbor antisemitic attitudes”. That is a good quarter of the global population! In western Europe the levels of antisemitism varied from 5% in the Netherlands to 69% in Greece, while in North America the range was from 9% in the US to 24% in Mexico. While the ADL study has been criticized for its methodology, the findings are overall consistent with other antisemitism studies, at least in terms of which countries are relatively high and low.
