So why criticize Trump when he does exactly that but justify it when eu does ??
there is a clear difference.
different tariffs exist and are used all the time to address issues such as imbalance of trade, differences in state aids, prevalent wages, living costs, state of development of the exporting countries etc.like in the EU's policy 'Everything but arms' to help developing countries.
But the EU protection of Tata wasn't negotiated at all..
they are anti dumping measures, limited in time and scope, and subject to WTO tribunals.
It's not just about food though, the planet's material resources aren't remotely able to meet the demands of today's population.
WTO have nothing at all to do with Mafia getting a cut out of every single container going in or out of Italy...EU should get its own house in order ...
Governments are sovereign, the mafia is an Italian problem not a EU one. There are EU anti-corruption directives but they have to be applied into national law. The EU can fine Italy if it has concrete proof as in the case of HMRC not applying duty to imported Chinese goods.
They are not stupid. As I’ve said before, they are probably poorly educated and politically unaware. That is a result of where they were born and their family, that does not mean they are stupid. In different circumstances, things may have been very different for these people.
we are making good progress on making plastic and other material recyclable. At the moment, we use plastic in the current way because natural resources are cheap to dig out of the ground, that's not going to continue. In less than 300 years, most of our current materials that are mined will have been mined out or difficult to get at except perhaps iron, aluminium, carbon, silicon and uranium.We'll replace most metals we use today with either carbon or aluminium or silicon.
Ofcourse its an EU problem. Same old story EU can pass book on every difficult situation.
DT is an shortermist idiot. His action will cause more job loss than jobs gained and will tax the American consumers, deter inward investment etc. The people who profit from his tweets are the financiers who got tipped off before the tweets.
Yet, we are hiring the Chinese to produce the first of many new nuclear power stations. If they can find fitters, platers, turners, welders, riggers, electricians, crane operators, NDT inspectors, security personnel and all the other essential staff required on such a project from UK-sourced labour, why can't we do it ourselves?
Mmmm. You underestiimate him. He,s president of most powerful country world has ever seen. He might be lots of things but he sure as hell is no idiot.
Recycling needs a considerable proportion of fresh material input to sustain a usable quality, so continuing on the path of exhausting all the raw materials to support overpopulation is not viable if the human race is to have a future.
read my post again, I said he is a shortermist idiot, judging the consequences of his action on the people who voted for him, the rust belt of the USA. He is of course not an idiot when he filled in $1 billion tax loss on his tax return.
that is because the raw material is so currently cheap so recycling technology receives less incentive to develop.
I'm afraid they're not the noble savages you would like to believe. Many supported farage, ukip, are more than just a little racist, xenophobic. By choice, the UK is for now still a place of opportunity, where education and background are very poor excuses indeed for ruining ones own and others lives via making stupid choices
I know the feeling...but perhaps you could explain term shortermist in context of comments.( ie rusty commuter belt and idiot) It doesn't really make sense..
