Bulgaria nominates EU figure for commissioner
MEP Mariya Gabriel has been proposed by the Bulgarian government as the country's EU commissioner after a six-month delay.
Signs of life for EU 'citizens' initiative'
The European citizens' initiative (ECI) has had a difficult time since its launch in 2012. There were high expectations of citizen-led policy-making and of reducing the distance between ordinary people and EU institutions, but these hopes have largely been dashed. Seven European Citizens' Initiatives are ongoing, with three related to the extremely important topic of EU citizenship following Brexit.
Give Macron 'a chance', says EU finance chief
EU finance commissioner Pierre Moscovici said the EU executive expected France to reduce its deficit, but was putting "no pressure" on the country. All EU member states are expected to grow this year.
Brexit-affected citizens want special deal on rights
Facing two years of uncertainty while Brexit negotiations are underway, EU and UK citizens caught up in the political battle want a separate agreement to secure their rights and future.
Uber is a transport company, EU lawyer says
The Court of Justice of the EU was asked to define Uber. The final ruling will likely have consequences for the whole sharing economy. The American company Uber operates in the field of transport, and is not an information society company, a top EU lawyer said in advice to the Court of Justice of the European Union on Thursday (11 May). The court said in a press release that, according to one of the court's advocates-general, "the service offered by the Uber platform must be classified as a ‘service in the field of transport’."
Hungary and Slovakia challenge quotas at the EU's top court
During a hearing at the EU's top court, Hungary and Slovakia defended their decision not to take in asylum seekers based on a mandatory quota system, while the European Commission, Germany and others stressed the need for solidarity. Hungary and Slovakia challenged the EU's decision to distribute asylum seekers across the union on a mandatory quota basis at the EU's top court on Wednesday (10 May). The quotas came in the wake of the massive influxes of migrants in 2015.
Orthodox believers form pro-Russia bloc in Europe
Orthodox Christian societies in Europe are more likely to endorse Vladimir Putin’s revanchist vision of Russia than Catholic ones, according to a new survey. Most people in the majority-Orthodox bloc, which includes EU and Nato states Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece, as well as EU-aspirant states such as Georgia, Moldova, and Serbia believe Russia should act as a “buffer” against the West and should protect” them if need be.

History Is on the Side of Tax Cuts
Ronald Reagan wrote in his autobiography, An American Life , “[M]y major was economics. But I think my own experience with our tax laws in Hollywood probably taught me more about practical economic theory than I ever learned in the classroom or from an economist.”

The rise of so-called happy funerals is no laughing matter
It’s time to put the fun back into funeral. Yes, it’s going to be the party of your life. After all, you only die once. It’s your special day. Why not make it a themed occasion? Perhaps the coffin-bearers could be dressed up as superheroes? Or maybe a MasterChef theme? There is surely something deeply emotionally brittle about the refusal to allow ourselves to be overcome with grief.

If you’ve taken a brief glance at society lately, chances are you’ve come away with the impression that morality is on the wane. Apparently, a good chunk of Americans would agree with you. According to a new survey released by LifeWay Research, fully 8 in 10 Americans are concerned “about declining moral behavior in our nation.” But when it comes to the issue of how one determines what is right and wrong, there is far less agreement. In fact, a majority of young people now say that standards of right and wrong are changeable:

What Warren Buffett Gets Wrong about Capitalism
The Guardian has reached for the smelling salts as Warren Buffett tells us all that slashing jobs is just the capitalist way. Yes, it’s that time of year again: Woodstock for capitalists, the Berkshire Hathaway annual general meeting. But Buffett is wrong. This isn’t the capitalist way at all. This is just the way that any and every economy should work. Whether communist, socialist, social democratic or capitalist, all economies will economize on inputs to a process. That is what actually makes us richer.
