Austrian far right mulls EU referendum-By EUOBSERVER-july 6,16
Today, 09:24-Austria’s far-right presidential hopeful, Norbert Hofer, told AP he would call a referendum on leaving the EU within a year of winning office if the EU tried to deepen integration. "The basic idea was actually to create an economic union so that the nations ... do not fight wars against each other anymore. Then came the political union that became paramount and that's when the real problems began", he said.
ECB presents new €50 banknote-By EUOBSERVER
5. Jul, 19:03-The European Central Bank on Tuesday presented the new €50 banknote. As with revamped €5, €10 and €20 notes introduced in recent years, the new note will feature a holographic portrait of Europa and an “emerald number” that changes colour depending on the viewing angle in order to make counterfeit more difficult. The new banknote will be available by 4 April 2017.
EU-Canada deal to be approved by national parliaments-By EUOBSERVER
5. Jul, 17:20-The European Commission believes the EU-Canada trade agreement (Ceta) is a pure EU competence but will still ask national parliaments to seal the deal as a so-called mixed agreement. Trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem said she hoped for a quick ratification and called upon national governments to defend the proposal before their parliaments. She also announced that the Council approved of Ceta being provisionally applied pending the ratification process.
Theresa May wins first round of Tory votes By Eszter Zalan-july 6,16-euobserver
BRUSSELS, Today, 09:25-British home affairs secretary Theresa May won the most votes in an internal Conservative Party ballot to choose the next PM held on Tuesday (5 July).May won the support of 165 MPs, followed by Andrea Leadsom, a junior energy minister, on 66, and justice secretary Michael Gove, who was a prominent campaigner to leave the EU, on 48.Former defence minister Liam Fox, who got the fewest votes, 16, was eliminated from the race and backed May. Pensions minister Stephen Crabb, who placed fourth with 34 votes, pulled out and also backed May.Tory MPs will keep voting until there are only two-candidates left, then it will be up to the rank and file party members to choose the next UK leader, who will have to navigate the country through exit talks with the EU.Thursday will see the second round of voting among MPs. The final victor will be announced on 9 September.Before the vote, pro-Remain May came under fire for a TV interview in which she said the UK might eject EU migrants if EU countries do not allow British people to live and work on their home territories.Her main rival, Andrea Leadsom said: “We must give them [EU workers] certainty. There’s no way they will be bargaining chips in our negotiation.”Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister said May’s stance on EU nationals living in the UK was “disgraceful” and “disgusting”. Even the pro-Brexit politician Nigel Farage criticised May.May's team clarified her remarks on Tuesday, saying: "Her position is that we will guarantee the legal status of EU nationals in Britain as long as British nationals living in EU countries have their status guaranteed too."However, this still suggested conditionality between EU national's rights in the UK, and UK citizens living in the EU.-Economic woes-The first round of Tory voting was overshadowed by the flight of property investors from Britain and the pound hitting a three-decades low.In a sign of the serious economic consequences of Brexit, the pound hit a new 31-year low, now down more than 12 percent since the referendum on 23 June.Three funds investing in British property also said they were suspending trading because too many people were rushing to liquidate their assets.The Bank of England tried to calm nerves on Tuesday, but cited commercial real estate as one of the risks sectors in the British economy.Bank of England governor Mark Carney also said capital requirements for banks had been relaxed to free up money for loans for homes and businesses."The bank can be expected to take whatever action is needed to promote monetary and financial stability, and as a consequence, support the real economy," Carney said.Before the EU ballot, Leave campaigners dismissed economic concerns of the Remain camp as scaremongering and labelled their from economic projections "Project Fear". They said that Britain would prosper once it became "independent" and free to negotiate its own trade deals.
EU delays decision on Spain and Portugal debt By Eric Maurice-euobserver
BRUSSELS, 5. Jul, 19:08-The European Commission on Tuesday (5 July) postponed its decision on whether to open procedures against Spain and Portugal for excessive deficit.The college of commissioners had a "first discussion" and will "adopt the necessary decisions very soon," finance commissioner Pierre Moscovici told journalists after the college meeting.He gave no hint on what decision would be taken, but he said that the commission would "act within the rules of the [stability] pact, which have to be respected.""It's a matter of credibility," he said.He added that "these rules are also intelligent and they demand to be applied in an intelligent way. That is the very spirit with which we'll take our decision very soon."The commission in May gave Portugal and Spain one more year to reduce their deficit under three percent of GDP, until the end of 2016 and 2017, respectively.It also said it would "come back to the situation of these two member states in early July."The decision at the time was explained by the fact that Spain has no government after inconclusive elections in December and that it was better to wait until a new vote on 26 July.Portugal's case was different, because a left-wing government has been in place since November 2015. It was nevertheless linked to the Spanish case to ensure the same treatment to both countries.The commission has been under pressure to open the procedure against Madrid and Lisbon, especially from German officials like finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble or Bundesbank president Jens Weidmann.A procedure could then lead to sanctions.But EU leaders at a summit last week were said to be wary of sanctions, out of worry that they would destabilise the two countries.Since May, the situation has not really changed in Spain. The ruling centre-right Popular Party 'PP) came first in the election but no government is expected before early August or more even the end of summer."It's a difficult decision for the commission," a n EU source told EUobserver, adding that the college was already divided when it decided to postpone its decision in May.The commission is now expected to take its decision on Thursday by a written procedure, so EU finance ministers can discuss it at their next meeting on 12 July."An earlier proposal would have allowed for a more thorough assessment," the Slovak presidency of the EU council said.
EU development aid to finance armies in Africa By Nikolaj Nielsen-euobserver
BRUSSELS, 5. Jul, 19:24-The EU commission wants to finance foreign armies as part of a larger effort to stop people from fleeing to Europe, including in countries with patchy human rights.A commission draft proposal released on Tuesday (5 July) spells out reasons why it is "necessary to provide assistance to the militaries of partner countries".Some €100 million that were initially slated for development aid will be diverted to finance military-led border control exploits and other initiatives like mine-clearing.The EU money can also be used to finance anything from troop transport vehicles to uniforms and surveillance equipment. Even furniture, stationary and "sport facilities" are covered.The EU has already contracted out some €1 billion from 2001 to 2009 when it came to things like law enforcement and border management.But this is the first time it will pump money directly into a foreign military structure."The direct financing of the military is not possible [at the moment]. Due to exceptional circumstances in some partner countries, it was important to close this gap," notes the document, a joint communication to the European Parliament and EU Council.The document attempts to quell some concerns over how the money will be used.It notes, for instance, that it won't fund "recurrent military expenditure", weapons and ammunition, and combat training.But such limitations are unlikely to be taken seriously by critics."This proposal is nothing short of scandalous," said German Green deputy Reinhard Butikofer.He said the fund is based on the development cooperation article of the EU treaty and should therefore not be used for security and military purposes.-Sudan-Sudan's military may stand to benefit. The ministry of interior has asked the EU to help fund border infrastructure at 17 crossing points.The Sudanese government militia, the Rapid Support Force (RSF), are tasked to prevent the border crossings.RSF, which is a part of Sudan's national and intelligence security services, includes men who fought in Darfur with the Janjaweed, a militia of Sudanese Arab tribes that is now part of the RSF.On Monday they arrested over 300 migrants heading to Libya across the remote desert of Sudan's Northern State.RSF commander, general Mohamed Hamdan Hametti, who is a former Janjaweed militia leader, said they have deployed troops along the Libyan border .Around 1,000 RSF troops have been sent to Al Dabbah in the north to help with the efforts.An activist in Khartoum, who did not want to be identified, told EUobserver the RSF are well known for their human rights violations.The contact said the EU development aid will not help to control migration."All it will do is make it harder for people inside Sudan to live and more difficult for them to leave the country," said the source.People inside Sudan who oppose president Omar al-Bashir say the money empowers the regime and delays any change."It's not adding to the development in anyway, it's not going to change the economic situation because there is a high rate of corruption in the country," said the contact in Khartoum.-Sudan development aid-The EU development commissioner Neven Mimica, for his part, announced a separate €100 million aid package for the country in April following his visit to Khartoum."Development and security go hand in hand," said Mimica on Tuesday following the broader announcement to finance armies.Sudan is led by a president accused of war crimes by the International Criminal Court. It also a major transit zone for people who want to take a boat from Libya to reach Europe.Sudan's RSF border crack down started shortly after the EU had announced its big development package.In May, its air force dropped barrel bombs on Heiban, a village in the south. Among the victims were six children from the same family.
Today, 09:24-Austria’s far-right presidential hopeful, Norbert Hofer, told AP he would call a referendum on leaving the EU within a year of winning office if the EU tried to deepen integration. "The basic idea was actually to create an economic union so that the nations ... do not fight wars against each other anymore.
