Στεφάν Σεζουρνέ: Η Ευρώπη γνωρίζει πώς να αντιδρά στη δασμολογική επίθεση
Κάναμε τα πάντα για να αποφύγουμε τον εμπορικό πόλεμο και θα συνεχίσουμε να κάνουμε το ίδιο.

Generating workforce for FSS programme will be a challenge: UK officials
Generating the required workforce at Harland & Wolff’s shipyards as part of the plan to manufacture three logistics vessels for the UK’s Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) under the Fleet Solid Support (FSS) programme has been highlighted as a key risk and “challenging”, according to senior Royal Navy (RN) officials.

Opinion: The UK has lost more than a monarch with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II
Stability, and maybe even decency, have been in short supply in the UK in the past few years. Issues such as Scottish independence, Brexit and the future of Northern Ireland have polarised the country, while the conduct of its leading politicians during the Covid-19 lockdowns dented faith in its leaders and damaged its reputation globally.

FDI in logistics in 2021: The state of play
The Global FDI Annual Report 2022 shows the number of greenfield foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in logistics declined by 5.7% in 2021. This is more because 2020 was an exceptional year that witnessed a huge spike in demand for online goods and services due to Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, this meant the logistics sector was one of only a small number of FDI sectors to grow in 2020. Although project numbers declined slightly in 2021 compared with 2020, they were still 4.9% higher than...

FDI drivers in 2022: ESG
Embracing environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria is rising in importance as a driver of foreign direct investment (FDI), with investors increasingly taking into account such criteria as part of their site selection decision.
However, when it comes to responsible investing, there is more to it than simply ticking off the ‘E’, ‘S’ and ‘G’. Taking into consideration the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is becoming more prominent, while all companies have to be on their guard...

Europe’s response to Ukraine crisis: More gas, but from elsewhere
EU prime ministers last night adopted the harshest sanctions regime ever enacted in EU history, freezing Russia out of the international financial system in response to its full-scale invasion of Ukraine yesterday morning. However, they held back on firing the three big guns: hitting the oil and gas sector, excluding Russia from the SWIFT bank transfer system, and levying direct sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. The speculation is that they are keeping those threats in play...
