É errado que os funcionários públicos (a Comissão) e o Conselho de Ministros sejam tão poderosos em comparação com o Parlamento Europeu eleito democraticamente. Os MEPs são mais sensíveis à opinião pública e são responsáveis por eles. Isso não se aplica aos comissários. O governo decidiu um Brexit duro fora do mercado único e da união aduaneira e isso levou diretamente a tudo, desde a verificação pesada de mercadorias até a incapacidade de importar plantas de maconha para a Irlanda do Norte com solo inglês nelas. Os medos foram bem fundamentados e ele foi descoberto. Talvez algum relaxamento possa ser negociado, mas a União Europeia tem o direito de defender sua integridade de mercado única na fronteira irlandesa. No entanto, a cobertura jingoística nos jornais da direita é patética. A dura verdade é até que a maioria das pessoas na UE e, de fato, o mundo seja vacinado, não estaremos seguros. Então, vamos elogiar bem o governo por lidar bem com as empresas de drogas e usar nossa vantagem para o benefício de todos, sejam eles em Bruxelas ou Bangkok. Ano. £ 500m. Demandas para cortarmos viagens desnecessárias, nos planos de investimento em transporte. Rogers disse que, embora o mundo pós-Covid-19 tivesse que ser considerado, ele acreditava que ainda havia um forte argumento para os projetos planejados prosseguirem. Estes variaram de projetos locais como a estação subterrânea central de Liverpool ao HS2. Mesmo com as companhias aéreas de joelhos, Rogers ainda apoiava links aprimorados para o aeroporto de John Lennon e enfatizou mais uma vez a necessidade vital de melhorar o acesso de frete ao porto de Liverpool.
The whole sorry episode shows the need for fundamental democratic reform of the EU. It is wrong that civil servants (The Commission) and the Council of Ministers are so powerful compared to the democratically elected European Parliament. MEP’s are more sensitive to public opinion and are accountable to them. This does not apply to Commissioners.
That said there were already big problems in relation to trade into and out of Northern Ireland before the Commission’s unhelpful intervention. The government decided on a hard Brexit outside the Single Market and Customs Union and this has led directly to everything from cumbersome checking of goods to the inability to import pot plants to Northern Ireland with English soil on them.
Boris Johnson breezily dismissed these concerns during the Brexit negotiations. The fears were well founded, and he has been found out.
The Democratic Unionists voted for Brexit and now don’t want to face the consequences. Maybe some relaxation can be negotiated, but the European Union is entitled to defend its Single Market integrity at the Irish border.
The British government does deserve great credit for getting ten million people vaccinated whilst progress in the EU has been slow. However, the jingoistic coverage in right wing newspapers is pathetic. The hard truth is until most people in the EU and indeed the world are vaccinated, we won’t be safe. So, let’s praise the government for dealing with the drugs companies well and use our advantage for the benefit of everyone whether they are in Brussels or Bangkok.
“NEW TRAINS CROSS THE MERSEY….”
Sadly, Gerry Marsden is no longer with us or he could have composed a ballad to celebrate the new rolling stock coming into service on Merseyrail next year.
Frank Rogers, the former Director General of Merseytravel, took the opportunity of a Downtown Den event this week to point up the scale of the investment in the project; £500m.
16 units are undergoing final tests although rollout has been delayed by the pandemic.
Rogers is now in his final months as Chief Executive of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and seems to have enjoyed the robust political atmosphere that surrounds the job.
I remain very interested in the possible impact of home working, the increase in neighbourhood retail and the environmental demands for us to cut out unnecessary journeys, on plans for transport investment. Rogers said that while the post COVID-19 world had to be considered, he believed there was still a strong case for planned projects to go ahead. These ranged from local projects like the Central underground station in Liverpool to HS2. Even with airlines on their knees, Rogers still backed improved links to John Lennon airport and emphasised once again the vital need to improve freight access to the Port of Liverpool.
Vamos torcer para que os recentes cortes no financiamento para o transporte para o norte e sugestões de que o braço HS2 para Leeds seja descartado não são palhas no vento. text_color = "escuro" text_align = "esquerda" sobreposição_strength = "0,3 ″ shape_divider_position =" Bottom "] [vc_column column_padding =" no-extra-padding "column_padding_position =" all "Antecedores_color_opacity =" 1 ″ Border_hort_hound_hort_hort_padding_position = "All" Antegralth_Color_Opacity = "1 ″ Border_Hort_Hover column_border_radius = "None" width = "1/1 ″ tablet_text_alignment =" default "Phone_Text_alignment =" Default "Column_Border_width =" None " column_border_style = "sólido"] [vc_raw_html] jtndySuymghyzwylm0qlmjjodhrwcyuzqsuyriuyrnr3axr0zxUy29tjgsmltsgfuy29JA1VljtljtljTljTrJgsmltsgfUy29JA1VlJnJnjtljtljtJgsmltsgfUy29JA1VlJnjtljTljTngsMltsgfuy29JA1VlJnJnjtljtlJmvmvmlsgfuy29JA1VlJnJnjtljTlJmlmvmxMxMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXMXO DE 3NyYyUzRHR3c3JjJTI1NUV0ZnclMjIlMjBjbGFzcyUzRCUyMnR3aXR0ZXItZm9sbG93LWJ1dHRvbiUyMiUyMGRhdGEtc2hvdy1jb3VudCUzRCUyMmZhbHNlJTIyJTN FRm9sbG93JTIwJTQwSmltSGFuY29ja1VLJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUzQ3NjcmlwdCUyMGFzeW5jJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF0Zm9ybS50d2l0dGVyL mnvbsuyrndpzgdldHmuanMlMjilmjBjagfyc2v0jtnejtiydxrmltglmjilm0ulm0mlmkzzy3jpchqlm0u = [/vc_raw_html] [/crinnr) [/vc_raw_html] [/c) Downtown in Business
