The other day I posted a piece about the most recent set of negotiations (by the EU and others) with Iran . Lots of incentives were promised….if only Iran would stop its uranium enrichment program ( BN-Politics ). The Iranians have returned a reply. In the first official comments since Iran submitted its response to the EU, spokesman Gholamhossein Elham said that Iran “will not go back on its rights on the nuclear issue”. “Iran’s stand regarding its peaceful nuclear program has not changed. Iran insists on negotiations while respecting its rights and avoiding any loss of international rights,” BBC News ) I guess that means ‘no.’ The article suggests that there is, or at least may be, division of opinion among Iranian officials, but that President Ahmadinejad.has reaffirmed his commitment to the program. The rejection seems to have come from an official close to him. Along with the offer, Iran rejected a substantial package of sweeteners: The incentives package builds on a previous offer of 2006 and says that if Iran suspends uranium enrichment, then talks can start about a long-term agreement. On offer is recognition of Iran’s right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and the treatment of Iran in "the same manner" as other states under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran would get help with developing nuclear power stations and be guaranteed fuel for them. It would also be offered trade concessions, including ...

In response to my blog entry (July 3), an obviously knowledgeable reader makes some interesting predictions about what may happen next, to wit: For the Swiss I believe the issue will be settled more by the intelligent application of technicalities and pragmatism than 'guts'. If, for example, the IRS serves the summons in Miami, the UBS staff will point out that they are a completely independent subsidiary and have nothing to do with records kept in Switzerland. If the IRS attempts to serve the summons in Swtzerland, the staff will point out they are governed by Swiss law, not U.S. law. No Proof for MLAT In Switzerland the authorities also will point out that not only does the summons have no standing there, the IRS attorney who drafted the summons recognized in writing that the IRS could not employ the Swiss-U.S. Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MALT) because they have no specific evidence regarding tax fraud. Moreover, the Swiss government understands that if they allow thousands of clients outside of the framework of international and Swiss law to be betrayed, then their banking industry will be irreparably harmed. Who will be knocking on their door next without proper evidence, the EU perhaps? In addition, very affluent, betrayed clients will not be happy folks. They will look to civil and criminal prosecution of UBS staff and management that enabled their prosecution by the IRS for tax fraud, a very serious crime in both Switze ...

Maybe the EU doesnt need the Lisbon Treaty just now THE EU has certainly learned to live with institutional reform failure. The 3 pre-enlargement efforts either waffled on reform (the 1997 Amsterdam Treaty) or botched them (2001 Nice Treaty and the 2003 Constitutional Treaty). The 2 post-enlargement efforts were rejected by voters. (See my account of the 10 year "Trail to Failure", with some updates here.) Since my 1994 book on eastern enlargement, I've written many times that enlargement required reform of EU decision-making. Together with Mika Widgren, I've argued that EU decision-making would grind to a halt without it. I still believe institutional reform is necessary, but the data are not co-operating with the theory. The flow of EU lawmaking dropped sharply in the first year after the 2004 enlargement, but subsequent data fail to confirm ... Source: www.topix.com --- 1 day ago

Nicolas Sarkozy is on his way to Ireland. On 11 July the hyperactive French President will land in Dublin on his first visit to a EU member country after taking over the rotating Presidency of the Union. The agenda of the meeting consists of one issue. Mr. Sarkozy is to discuss the Irish no to the Lisbon-Treaty with his Irish colleague, Prime Minister Brian Cowen. One can, however, not help fearing that Mr. Sarkozy in his usual style will accidentally let a word or two slip on the Irish (...) - Upcoming Event / Defence , Democracy and citizenship , France ...

“Today we have opened a new page” Those were the words of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev On Friday 27 at a summit in Siberia. Russia and the EU ended 18 months of setbacks when the two parties initiated the long-delayed negotiations over a number of issue to be included in a bilateral Treaty. European leaders praised Mr. Medvedev with Commission President Barroso calling his counterpart “relaxed and open”. In spite of the newfound good spirit tensions still exist on notably trade and energy (...) - The word / Energy and transport , Russia and former Soviet area ...

George Handlery on the week that was. More second thoughts about the Lisbon Treaty. Whom to thank for success against narcomarxist terrorists? Dictatorial solidarity is stronger than race. Is poverty moral? Must a liberal agree with every position he encounters? The virtue of theft. 1. The attempt to smuggle the EU’s failed basic law back into life after a re-write have failed on account of Ireland’s rejection. Now it turns out that all along many had reservations against the Lisbon Treaty but “did not dare to ask.” Poland, Austria, Germany are on record of hedging their bets. The solidarity of the advocates of “bureaucratic centralism” is showing cracks. Count on more resistance. All this is not to suggest that Europe does not need an umbrella organization. It is the method and the concept of unity pursued that motivates the critics. 2. The 700 hostages of the Columbian FARC are free. Useful idiots continue their discreet support of the Communist kidnappers. They shift the discussion to “lessons” and “credits earned” front. Switzerland’s eccentric leftist foreign minister, mindlessly opined that liberation is to be credited to mediation efforts. Such as her stunts. The terminology directs craved attention to her eager-to-grab-headlines person. Without wanting to underrate the value of the “good offices” provided by skillful mediators –Ms Calmy-Rey, given her sympathies and her theatrics is not one of them – the case is irrele ...
Ondanks de juridische nederlaag in het Verenigd Koninkrijk die de uiteindelijke ratificatie van het Verdrag van Lissabon niet meer kon tegenhouden en ondanks de weinig verhulde plannen van de Duitse president om te anticiperen op een rechtzaak en het geratificeerde verdrag gewoon te ondertekenen, blijkt het proces toch niet zo goed te verlopen voor de Eurofielen. De Poolse president Kaczynski verkondigde vorige week dat hij de ratificatie niet zal ondertekenen en ook Vaclav Klaus, de president van de Tsjechische Republiek, is duidelijk: Tsjechië zal het verdrag niet ratificeren. Of mijn emails naar de Tsjechische leiders iets uitgehaald hebben, weet ik niet, maar het resultaat is er in elk geval wel. Dit is het antwoord van het kabinet Vaclav Klaus op mijn recente emails omtrent de ratificatie van het Verdrag van Lissabon: Dear Mr De Roeck, Thank you for your letter addressed to President Klaus regarding the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty. Since unanimity of all the EU member states is required in order for the Lisbon Treaty to be ratified and one member state voted against it, the ratification cannot be continued and the Treaty cannot take effect. Not only the ratification of the Treaty must stop now, but also the implementation of the Treaty must stop now. The following are President Klaus’s press statements in the wake of the Irish referendum: The Lisbon Treaty project ended today with the decision of the Irish voters and it ...
