United States

Mi, nyolc közép- és kelet-európai tagállam tizennégy „think tank“-je, a 4liberty hálózat tagjaiként arra bíztatjuk az Európai Bizottságot, az Európai Tanácsot, az Európai Parlamentet és az EU tagállamainak nemzeti parlamentjeit, hogy döntésüket alapos, kutatásokra alapozott gazdasági bizonyítékokra alapozzák, és hogy támogassák a TTIP-et és az elemeit, beleértve az ISDS-t.

I don\'t believe that we need central banking, monetary policy or our national monetary unit. Without this, we can\'t avoid two essential problems – politicization of the monetary politics and also its competitiveness. But by saying this I do not wish to imply that in this particular case of devaluation of the lari the central banking system was the major problem. Quite the opposite.

For the next couple of years Poland will continue to take the bitter pills prescribed by European institutions, such as the European Parliament (which just renewed its investigation concerning CIA rendition) or the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (supervising enforcement of the Strasbourg verdicts). This painful treatment will continue just because Polish politicians have decided to violate the Polish Constitution and international treaties 13 years ago.

It appears that if back then, CIA ordered them to insert their fingers into a paper shredder, they would gladly do that in accordance with this unconditional trust. Unfortunately, the consequences of such a behaviour may be far more serious than the Texas paper shredder massacre.

The shale gas (and oil) revolution is a perfect example how human ingenuity and freedom to act can solve any problem.

At the beginning the TTIP was received positively almost everywhere, but now many issues have stirred up the negative attitudes that result in attempts to make the TTIP seem unaccountable and undemocratic. Recently, the question \"Is the European Commission doing its best to keep the greatest possible transparency?\" has been gaining ground.

The irony specific to the Kremlin’s new paranoia is that Russia still attributes some mythical power to the United States, a power which has all but dissipated over the past two decades.

On July 24, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg pronounced a verdict on the treatment of two former prisoners of the clandestine and illegal prison established in the years 2002-2003 on Polish territory by CIA with the permission of the Polish authorities of that time.

This is not to say that the gun debate ends here for me. It doesn’t. It actually starts here.
