Government is cooperation - EUbusiness Week newsletter 748
EUbusiness Week 748 top stories: EU looks to key partnerships to tackle migrant crisis; Euro hopefuls not yet ready to join; North Seas countries to cooperate on wind energy; Red tape cut if you move to another EU country; Member States back prospectus reform; New EU rules on card fees enter into force
Publisher's Note
Interesting to note the various legislative developments in Europe this
week: agreements on unregulated fishing, safety rules for passenger
ships, cooperation on energy and wind farms, partnerships with third
countries regarding migration, air transport agreements, prospectus
reform for access to capital markets and new rules on payment cards.
The message? Meaningful government in today's globalised world
is not possible without international cooperation. It is dishonest to
suggest that it is.
