Germany's Schulz Threatens Cut In EU Funds For Anti-Migrant Countries
Tue, 18th Jul 2017 16:47

BERLIN (Alliance News) - EU funds should be awarded according to "solidarity" principles, German opposition leader Martin Schulz said Tuesday, hinting that Central and Eastern European countries who refuse to take in migrants should receive less from Brussels.

"There is no refugee crisis in Europe - we are a rich and huge continent and just have to distribute the refugees in a sensible way. What we have is a crisis of solidarity," the leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) wrote on Facebook.

"There are those countries that say yes to Europe when they get something. And they say no, when they are supposed to do something, like for example accepting refugees. This must end. As chancellor, I will veto any EU budget that is not based on the principle of solidarity," Schulz added.

In June, the European Commission started legal action against Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary for refusing to accept refugees from Italy and Greece, as part of a migration burden-sharing deal reached in 2015.

Former Italian premier Matteo Renzi was among the first, last year, to accuse EU peers from Central and Eastern Europe of selfishness on the migration crisis, and to threaten retaliation with a cut in EU funds for them.

"If you don't show solidarity on migration, I think it is absolutely legitimate for bigger countries to not show solidarity on [EU budget] contributions," Renzi said in February 2016.

Schulz' statement in support of the Italian position came as the SPD is battling to unseat German Chancellor Angela Merkel in September 24 elections. Polls suggest that Merkel is favoured to win what would be her fourth term in government.

wasn't schulz the creator of peanuts?

It's you two idiots who should go and live somewhere else ,you hate the UK .

JJ if you can't post without using abuse don't bother as I can see you getting the gooner like your mate GB...and yes we already know you don't care if you do get kicked out.

Silly Stan that's not abuse Fred calls me dumbo ,i just said you two should go and live elsewhere , can you read ? silly Stan .

Pot and kettle alert.

Credit and debit card surcharges to be banned: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40648641

...It follows a directive from the European Union, which bans surcharges on Visa and Mastercard payments.

Another stupid ruling from the EU.

Sooner we get out the better.

8-)

Personal message for Dumbo and George.

You left something out Stan.

However the government has gone further than the directive, by also banning charges on American Express and Paypal too.
I believe other forms of electronic payments such as Applepay will be affected also.

Having said that there is no doubt that the EU has driven down rip off charges, most noticeably for mobile phones. If only it could do the same for the agricultural swindlers.

.

All that this is going to do, is lift up prices charged to everyone by 2-3% to pay for it.

How daft.

Surprise surprise...



EU's Brexit chiefs want to 'punish' Britain to stop other countries leaving, senior German MEP claims

A senior German MEP has warned that two of the EU’s top Brexit chiefs want to “punish” Britain to stop other countries trying to leave the bloc.

Hans-Olaf Henkel, the vice chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, urged the UK “not to listen” to Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, and Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator.

It comes as EU and UK officials engage in a third day of talks in Brussels as the two sides seek to hammer out the terms of Britain’s divorce deal.

Endorses what we already knew, they are happy to be friends with us as long as we keep paying the money.

Three days to tell them to feck off ?

Geez give me the job and I'll have it all done and dusted and out by Christmas.

We aren't going to get a deal so sod them.

There is one amusing aspect of the nurses being sued for parking charges.

Corbyn and the left have been tweeting about how disgusting it it is of Hunt to attack the nurses.
They have all had to delete the tweets after it was pointed out that the hospital is in Cardiff and Labour run the NHS in Wales.

I think the same they do not want any other EU countries to see a decent settlement in case it gives them ideas .It will all have to be their way .I hope Dave Davies is not going to buckle to their crap.
