| European Union - the UK says "no";
Croatia signs its accession agreement - 9th December 2011
9 December 2011 - During an EU summit yesterday and through the night
until this morning, the UK declined to permit amendments to existing EU treaties;
the discussions were in theory designed to secure the future of the failing
Euro 'project', but added on measures which would have severely impacted
upon the UK financial sector; there are no doubt other 'interpretations'
of what happened last night, but this is mine. Also today, Croatia ratified
its accession agreement under which it will become the 28th member of the
EU, with effect from 1 July 2013. |

| Tenth anniversary of the U.S. terrorist
outrages - 11th September 2001
11 September 2011 - Today is the tenth anniversary of the terrorist outrages
in the United States which killed approximately 3,000 innocent people as
well as devastating the lives of many thousands more. My continuing condolences
to all those whose family, friends and colleagues were killed and injured
and whose lives will never be the same. May those who were killed rest in
peace. |

| Sixth anniversary of the London terrorist
outrages - 7th July 2005
5 July 2011 - In two days time we will be marking the sixth anniversary
of the terrorist outrages in London which killed 52 innocent people as well
as injuring about 700, of whom about 100 required treatment in hospital;
the physical injuries which some suffered are irrevocable and the mental
trauma experienced as a result of the bombings will probably live with those
directly affected and many others for years to come. My continuing condolences
to all those whose family, friends and colleagues were killed and injured
and whose lives will never be the same. May those who were killed rest in
peace. |

| EU (European Union) Enlargement
- 27th June 2011
Negotiations have been completed between the European Union and
'candidate country' Croatia (a part of the former territory/country
called Yugoslavia) and it is likely that the country will become the 28th
member of the EU with effect from 1st July 2013.
In another development, Montenegro (also a part of the former territory/country
called Yugoslavia) has recently been 'upgraded' from the status of
'potential candidate country' to 'candidate country' although
detailed negotiations for its entry to the EU have not yet begun. The linked
page at right is to my 'EU' (European Union) page which itself has
links to all member states of the EU (currently there are 27), to the 5 current
'candidate countries' and to the 4 current 'potential candidate countries';
the link at right is also available through the 'Int. Rel.' link in the main
menu at left. |

(*) My 'Comment'
pages contain comment on topical events; this is expressed occasionally in
robust unambiguous terms, but (as with my whole website) does not include
profanity - ever. Nevertheless, I recognise that there is a remote possibility
that some readers might find that some of the views expressed are objectionable;
you should bear this in mind when deciding whether to view these
pages. |
