‘Thanks to the efforts of President Ma’s administration, Mainland China - Taiwan relations went from confrontation to conciliation. But now Taiwan is left behind. Other countries in the region are signing or are negotiating Free Trade Agreements with the EU. We don’t want to see peaceful and democratic Taiwan suffering from its competition. Taiwan as a friend of peace and democracy is a natural partner of the EU’.

Taiwan’s new EU Ambassador wants: ‘a more far-reaching EU-Taiwan relationship’

Mr. Kuoyu Tung recently took up his role as Taiwan’s Ambassador to the EU, one of his country’s most important postings abroad, replacing his predecessor David Lin who was appointed Foreign Minister late last year.

In Mr. Malosse’s opinion ‘the crisis facing Europe is first and foremost a crisis of estrangement between the EU and its citizens’. He wants a change and the role of the EESC is clear, it has to ensure that civil society has a voice in EU decision-making.

New EESC President Malosse put citizens at the heart of the EU public debate

The Frenchman Henri Malosse kicked off 2 1/2-year tenure as head of the oldest EU institution that represents civil society.

Other key areas are the strict division of European Central Bank staff between monetary policy and supervision to ensure that the supervisory arm of the ECB is truly accountable; strengthening the European Banking Authority, in relation to the ECB, and also improving its ability to undertake stress tests and obtain information; and establishing a system which will uphold the diversity of the EU banking sector.

Under Cypriot clouds a landmark deal on single bank supervisor secured!

While the struggle around the Cypriot bailout went on today, the Irish Presidency has reached a provisional agreement with the European Parliament to create a single supervisor for cross-border Eurozone banks.

Europe as a whole - as opposed to Europe as an amalgam of 27 - needs to pool resources. Cohesion policy, and more urgently, a digital single market, is key to addressing macroeconomic and regional disparities at EU level and should be at the core of the internal market policy for enhancing competitiveness, productivity, growth, and job creation.

Silicon Europe

To envision a European Silicon Valley, in the image and likeness of the original version in the San Francisco Bay, is more or less like seeing a mirage in the desert. Europe is a starry-eyed idealist, always taken aback by its own modesty.
