„The minimum salary in Romania rose ten times its nominal value in less than 20 years. This helps to explain the transformation that the Romanian economy is facing, attracting a number of companies, investors and immigrants to the country.“ Depends when you start counting. Wages growing now.

What percentage of our GPD is that? What percentage of our GDP is trade in the CU and SM? What percentage of our GDP is fishing out of interest?

One view from Bulgaria: „Despite the slow progress, we are happier than a decade ago or so it seems. Compared to ten years ago, a larger percentage of Bulgarians and Romanians are satisfied with the lives they lead, as the Eurobarometer public opinion reports from 2007 and 2016 show.“

2008 was the year of the world wide crash. The years before had seen a massive wage rise in some Eastern European countries as the they recovered from communism. The countries that had the fastest wage rises were hit the hardest. Such as Estonia. It depends on which year you start your...

No.

I was in Romania before they were in the EU. They are a lot better off now.

I know for a fact that they have clamped down. I used to be a partner in a Jerey off shore company. Jersey is Bailiwick.

The guy is a hero.

Good riddance. Surprised you didn’t post about the Austin Texas parcel bomber who killed more people. Why was that? Oh wait, he was a white home schooled Christian who targeted minority communities. Very sick person. This other scumbag is a terrorist.

What is the current policy and who has Crown Dependencies where people can stash their ill gotten gains?

You can tell Brexit is going down by the amount of BS flying around. It must be difficult to slag Corbyn off at the same time as saying the EU is a capitalist club and the EUSSR. Full time disinformation.

Really? Where do you get your „facts“ from? C.A. or Breitbart?

More like 10 bn.

There is no president of Luxemburg. It is a Grand Duchy.

One anecdote doesn’t mean that Travelling to Russia is easier than traveling, say, within the Schengen area. You are hardly in a position to call anybody a clueless crank.

I am not a Corbyn fan, but we need an alternative to the present government, and we need to swing the pendelum back towards the centre from the outside right position it is now in. I don't think nationalisation is the answer long term, but a rethink on privatisation is needed. Maybe taking back...

Ask the Daily Mail. They claim that, but it will lose the automatic right to live and work in 27 countries in one hit. Are you saying that one country is equal top? Top is top. One Rating considers the other one greater. Whatever. There certainly are not large swathes of the planet preferring...

Apparently, even the Mail admits that, the passport with access to the most countries is the German one. The British one is set to lose ground after Brexit. As you say, having German and British is the best bet. The most powerful passports are listed as Brexit threatens to restrict travel in...

Exactly the right time to hit form or at least a good run. So many times we have flopped second half of the season. Maybe achieve something the second season in a row. May start to be a habit... not there yet though,

I do get it. And I am ok with it. The EU is a trading bloc. We are not allowed state subsidies unless under certain conditions. That stops a race to the bottom of countries bailing out lame ducks with other people‘s money and thereby undercutting other people’s jobs. What I am not ok with is the...
