EU namjerava zabraniti gotovinska plaćanja iznad 10 000 eura.

Europska unija potpisala je novi ugovor s Pfizer/BioNTechom o nabavi 1,8 milijardi doza cjepiva protiv covida-19 od 2021. do 2023. godine koji će pokrivati zalihe, donacije i preprodaju doza, objavila je Europska komisija u subotu.

“Sretna sam što mogu objaviti da je @EU_Commission upravo odobrila ugovor za zajamčenih 900 milijuna doza (+900 milijuna mogućih) s @BioNTech_Group i @Pfizer za razdoblje 2021.-2023.”, napisala je šefica EK-a Ursula von der Leyen na Twiteru.

“Uslijedit će i drugi ugovori i druge tehnologije cjepiva”, najavila je.

EK je ranije ovaj tjedan najavila da će u srpnju biti dovoljno cjepiva za 70 posto odraslog stanovništva EU-a.

U drugom tromjesečju zemlje članice EU-a trebale bi dobiti ukupno oko 410 milijuna doza, najviše od Pfizer/BioNTecha – 250 milijuna, 70 milijuna AstraZenece, 55 milijuna Johnson&Johnsona i 35 milijuna od Moderne.

Sve bitne stvari vezane za tvoj život odlučuju u Briselu ljudi koji ni na kakvim izborima nisu birani.
Onim na izborima biranim kao Biljana Borzan i Tonino Picula ostavili da odlučuju koje jeftine igračke iz Kine su potencijalno opasne za djecu.

Oni potpisuju što im poslano. Ako neće onda im pošalju novih 6000 stranica koje govore odprilike isto kao i prošlih 4000. Pa čitaj i studiraj.
Niko od njih to ne čita, možda vrlo rijetki. Informiraju se preko mass medija o čemu je prijedlog zakona i ovisno o tome potpisuju.

Zabrana će biti postavljena na 10.000 eura, ali članice će moći uvesti i manji iznos
Povjerenica Europske komisije za financije Mairead McGuinness najavila je da će Europska komisija u srpnju predstaviti novi paket zakonodavnih prijedloga protiv pranja novca čiji će sastavni dio biti i apsolutna zabrana plaćanja gotovim novcem. Zabrana će biti postavljena na 10 tisuća eura, odnosno 75 tisuća kuna, s tim što će državama članicama biti dana mogućnost da uvedu i manji iznos.

Ograničenja u plaćanju gotovim novcem već neko vrijeme postoje u 18 država članica EU, pa tako Grci gotovinom mogu platiti do 500 eura, Francuzi 1000 eura, a Poljaci 15 tisuća eura. Njemačka i Austrija najveći su protivnici zabrana plaćanjem gotovim novcem i u tim se zemljama na slobodu plaćanja gotovinom gleda gotovo kao na ustavnom zagarantirano pravo građana. U Austriji je bilo prijedloga da se plaćanje gotovim novcem zaštiti Ustavom.

EU je birokratsko cudoviste koje pokusava kontrolirati svaki aspekt zivota. Ogranicenja placanja kesa. Zamisli koja stoka.

"Potvrda neće biti preduvjet za ostvarivanje prava na slobodno kretanje i neće se smatrati putnom ispravom", naglašeno je u priopćenju Europskog parlamenta
Europska uredba koja uspostavlja digitalnu zelenu potvrdu kao način za lakša prekogranična putovanja po EU do završetka globalne pandemije ispregovarana je večeras nakon šestosatne, posljednje runde trijaloga između Vijeća EU (država članica), Europskog parlamenta i Komisije. Zakon, koji neki u Bruxellesu već sada opisuju kao toliko važan da će ljudi možda jednog dana dijeliti vrijeme na prije i poslije uvođenja tog certfikata, omogućuje stupanje na snagu cijelog novog sustava 1. lipnja.

Europe is not based on a common language, culture and values... Europe is a result of plans. It is, in fact, a classic utopian project, a monument to the vanity of intellectuals, a programme whose inevitable destiny is failure; only the scale of the final damage done is in doubt.

The European Union has fined BMW, VW, Audi, and Porsche $1 billion for “cartel behavior” in conspiring to curb the development of clean-emissions technology, while Daimler got a pass for informing on its co-conspirators.
EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager slapped German carmakers with the hefty fine, alleging that, even though the companies in question had the technology to cut harmful emissions, they deliberately shied away from competition, denying their customers the option to buy cleaner cars.

Brussels’ new climate plan will cause job losses and mass protests, and might even bring down the EU itself
15 Jul, 2021 11:57

Paul A. Nuttall is a historian, author and a former politician. He was a Member of the European Parliament between 2009 and 2019 and was a prominent campaigner for Brexit.

The European Union’s ambitious new proposals to slash emissions are undeliverable. They will cause a lot of pain for poor people across the bloc, prompting mass dissent and even calling into question the future of the EU.
When you’re in a hole, you generally stop digging. But that’s not the case for the European Union; it just keeps on digging deeper and deeper.

Last night, the EU unveiled its blueprint for drastically cutting carbon emissions over the next decade. The plan, which was unveiled by Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, is to slash emissions by a massive 31% by 2030. The EU believes that doing this will help ensure the bloc is carbon neutral by 2050.

Before it is implemented, this ambitious plan has to be ratified by the European Parliament and the 27 member states. Having been a member of the European Parliament’s Environment Committee, I can guarantee that the scheme will be approved with great enthusiasm. However, I can see some of the member states taking issue with the ambitious targets, as domestic politicians will have to deal with the consequences.

Of course, the EU’s plan is not enough for Greta Thunberg, but then again nothing ever is. She said that unless the EU “tears up” its targets, “the world will not stand a chance of staying below 1.5C of global heating.” Au contraire, dear Greta. I would argue that the targets are way too ambitious and are impossible to meet.

Between 1991 and 2019, the EU cut its carbon emissions by 24%; now it aims to slash them by another 31% in just nine years. I’m sorry, but this is ‘for the birds’, as they say. One of the golden rules in politics is to under-promise and over-perform. The EU is doing the opposite here, and is making promises it has no chance of keeping. I predict it will all end in tears.

Captains of industry have already voiced their concerns. Airlines, for example, which will face a higher tax on fuel, have already expressed their reservations, with Willie Walsh, head of the International Air Transport Association, warning it does not need “punitive measures like taxes to motivate change”. You can be sure that the cost will be passed on to the consumer and holidays will become more expensive, meaning fewer people will travel. I can’t see this going down well with either holidaymakers or those who work in the industry, many of whom will lose their jobs.

Even the EU’s climate change czar Frans Timmermans stated that “we’re going to ask a lot of our citizens ... but we do it for a good cause.” I’ve seen Timmermans up close, and he is a wily politician; he knows that this plan will result in great economic upheaval. He therefore stated that the plan “must be fair”, or “the resistance will be massive”. Deep down, he knows what’s coming.

Another result of this climate plan will be that consumer prices will rise, and the people it will hurt the most are the poor, as it always is with green taxes. Energy bills will go up and people will have to choose between heating and eating. This will be an acute problem for the EU member states in Eastern Europe, which are poorer and generally still dependent on coal.

The price of petrol and diesel will also rise, and we have all seen where this led to in France with the Yellow Vest Movement. As a result of the EU’s climate targets, we could see Europe-wide insurgent Yellow Vest campaigns, which will dwarf what happened in France. They will have the potential of bringing down governments – and for the EU, this could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

We must also take into account that the EU’s plan calls for a carbon border tariff, requiring manufacturers from outside the EU to pay more for importing materials such as steel and concrete. It has the potential of triggering a tariff war with the United States and China, and if this were to happen, job losses in the industries affected would be inevitable. This would be a disaster for a number of member states, particularly Spain and Greece, where unemployment is already running at exorbitant levels.

These climate proposals are also a nightmare for pro-EU politicians contesting elections in the near future. They are particularly problematic for Emmanuel Macron, who faces a presidential election next year. If he backs the scheme, as he surely will, and Marine Le Pen denounces it, she will receive a bounce in the polls. Indeed, it has the potential of catapulting her nearer to the presidency and Macron out of the Elysée Palace.

It’s not hyperbole when I say that this scheme could be the beginning of the end for the EU. When energy and fuel prices rise and job losses come, as they inevitably will, national politicians will blame Brussels, and, in this case, they will be right to do so.

I guarantee that making poor people poorer will serve only to make the EU even more unpopular than it is at present. The irony in all this is that the EU thinks that what it is doing is for the greater good – or should I say, the Greta good. Instead, it could well be obliviously marching to its own demise.

Kako pomoći konkurenciji u Aziji. Ovi u Briselu kao da mrze industriju. Svi ćemo završiti političke, sociološke fakultete i svijetu prodavati trans-rodna sranja i filozofije za velik novac.
Sve je moguće napraviti, pa i motor koji prdi parfem koji nestane nakon 10 minuta. Ali za koju cijenu ?

Pa nije bitno koliko Kinezi proizvode, kad neće smjeti prodavati takve aute u EU.
