More United

Overall annual net migration to the UK by September 2016 stood at 273 000 people, falling by 49,000 people compared to the same period in 2015, the latest migration data revealed by the Office for National Statistics, ONS, shows.

A key business lobby warned Britain's government on Feb. 13 not to play favorites among industries when it negotiates the country's exit from the European Union, saying that ignoring any sector would hurt the entire economy.

Great Britain will leave the common market of the EU; it will not make any significant contributions to the common budget; it will reject the jurisdiction of European courts and aim at a free-trade agreement and control over migration.

These were the main aims of Brexit, outlined by British PM Theresa May in a long-expected speech on the future of Great Britain and the EU.

Nearly 200 Turkish companies have invested in the United Kingdom in recent years, said British Ambassador to Turkey Richard Moore late on Dec. 2.

Italians will vote on Sunday on key political issues in a referendum that could cause economic turmoil, reported Focus agency.

The question of whether Turkey could really bring back capital punishment has now been followed by the question of whether Turkey could really hold a referendum on the European Union.

If the latter question had been put to me a month ago, I would have said "no," just as I would have once ruled out the possibility of reinstituting the death penalty. 

The election of Donald Trump to top job in the US was a slap across the face of professional politicians, pollsters, the media, gender equality, established etiquette and the campaigning rules and niceties of the post-WWII liberal order. It is a reminder too, that the shock waves of the 2007 financial crisis are still influencing events, almost a decade down the line.

Britain urged the EU Nov. 14 to treat U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's election as an "opportunity," exposing a rift with much of the rest Europe as it debated boosting the bloc's military role amid fears of an isolationist America.

The session of the Serbian parliament's Board for EU Integration on Thursday was postponed due to objections from two opposition right-wing parties, the Serbian Radical Party and Dveri, which insisted on the report being written in Serbian, not English.
