Business of the EU need trade, not a lesson London
Half of large EU companies reduces investment in the British economy ahead of Brexit, according to the survey of 800 business people, conducted by law firm Baker & McKenzie. 3/4 of respondents believe that Brussels should make concessions to London to provide good trading conditions in the EU after 2019.

Juncker: enough to demonize Russia
The President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, said about the need to restore relations between Europe and Russia, and called for an end to the demonization of the Russian Federation.
The head of the EC stated at the conference “Re-energising Europe – Now!”, held in Brussels on 31 may. In the course of answering questions after his speech, Juncker, in particular, declared that Europe (“we”, in keeping with the theme of the conference – approx. ed.) should restore relations with Russia, despite the existing differences and discrepancies:
“I think we should restore relations with Russia. I’m not really happy with the condition of our relations with Russia. We will not accept what Russia has done in Crimea and in Eastern Ukraine. But, nevertheless, we must note that the entire area of the European Union approximately 5.5 million sq. km Area of Russia is 17.5 million sq. km. What can there be questions?
So I think we should go back, I wouldn’t say to normal relations with Russia, but there are so many areas in which we can better cooperate in research, innovation and others. Not forgetting about our differences and divergences. But this demonization of Russia must cease.”
Contrary to the comments of a number of media Juncker not to “exaggerate the area of Russia in 5 times”. Nevertheless, the EC President still made a mistake in the assessments area of the EU and the Russian Federation, substantially inflating the figures for the EU countries, whose total area is 4,475 million sq km (instead of 5.5 million square km). Jean-Claude Juncker also “added” Russia: instead of 17,125 million sq km (including the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol city), he called the figure of 17.5 million sq. km.
