On 29 March, nine months after the British electorate called for a withdrawal from the European Union, the British Government formally notified its intention to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.
Sterling singing to (leaked) tune ahead of Theresa May speechOlivier Desbarres
Reports in the British press about the content of Theresa May’s planned speech tomorrow seem to confirm that the prime minister may sacrifice access to the Single Market in exchange for control over EU immigration into the UK.
Unsurprisingly perhaps, Sterling has weakened further but the currency may get some (temporary) respite if the content of Theresa May’s actual speech is somewhat more conciliatory.
In particular I would expect markets to focus on whether the UK government has moved closer to agreeing to a transitional arrangement once the UK has actually left the EU and whether any progress has been made in protecting the all-important UK services sector.
About 45% of the UK’s total exports are destined to the other 27 EU member states and about 53% of its total imports come from the EU. In comparison, only about 9% of the EU-27 exports of goods and services are destined for the UK. Similarly, only 9% of the EU-27 imports of goods and services come from the UK.
The EU thus has far more leverage over the UK than vice-versa assuming these 27 EU member states are willing and able to negotiate as one trading block, in my view. This imbalance is even greater in traded goods alone.
However, when it comes to services, the picture is somewhat more balanced and the UK may arguably have a stronger bargaining hand.
Simply put the EU buys and sells a far greater share of its services to/from the UK than it does for goods and it may be difficult for EU countries to substitute imports of financial services from the UK given London’s pre-eminence as a financial centre.

Brunswick takes a deeper look at why this election matters, the key issues that will shape Hong Kong’s future direction, and how the candidates are perceived to measure up in addressing them.
The fifth and final session of the 12th National People’s Congress concluded with no significant change in policy direction. While there were few surprises in this year’s gathering, the meetings gave a fresh view on the priorities of the administration and the implications for those operating in China.
This year’s meetings are the warm up act to the much more important 19th Party Congress at the end of this year when Xi Jinping will end his first five-year term as head of the Communist Party of China and when a number of the most senior members of the Party are expected to retire. The question is not if Xi Jinping stays for a second term (that’s a certainty), it is who will join him in the Politburo and the Standing Committee as this will influence the next five years and give early indication whether he may break with recent precedent and stay for a third term (2022-2027).
In this year’s report we look at how the Chinese authorities are seeking to balance growth, economic reform, and stability. Last year, the authorities spelled out a desire to achieve growth and reform—including drastically reducing overcapacity—while ensuring stability and enduring minimal pain. Achieving this simultaneously remains extremely challenging. This year they talked extensively about the reform agenda and its role in ensuring long-term growth, yet the importance of stability leading into the 19th Party Congress later this year is potentially even more important. “Stability is of overriding importance,” stressed Li Keqiang. Other key topics at this year’s sessions beyond ensuring reform and continued growth included a focus on job creation and poverty alleviation.

It is probably a lazy truism that regulatory and political clearance has become the most challenging and unpredictable factor in executing complex, crossborder mergers and acquisitions.

Europe is edging closer to an event once unthinkable in post-war politics – the possible retreat of arguably the continent’s greatest triumph. With the unilateral triggering of Article 50, expected in March 2017, the United Kingdom would present itself as the first Member State to declare its intention to withdraw membership of the European Union.

Economic Update October 2017 - If you look at the larger commonwealth countries put together – including India, Pakistan, Australia and Canada – the top 10 make up simply 8% of our exports compared with 44% for the European Union. And if you take all 52 or 54 commonwealth countries, they make up just 9% of all our exports.

Preparing for the withdrawal of the UK from the EUThierry Debels
The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union has repercussions for citizens, businesses and administrations in both the United Kingdom and the European Union.
These repercussions range from new controls at the EU’s (new) outer border, to the validity of UK-issued licences, certificates and authorisations all the way to new conditions for data
transfers.
I did a presentation about the problem in UK known as BREXIT in detail and about EUROPEAN UNION. It will be helpful if u want to know about BREXIT and EU a little. Thank you
Negocjacje tzw. Brexitu, czyli wyjścia Wielkiej Brytanii z Unii Europejskiej były nie tylko
jednym z największych wyzwań stojących przed Unią Europejską w 2017 roku. Dla unijnych
instytucji – Rady, Komisji Europejskiej i Parlamentu Europejskiego – okazały się też być kolejną odsłoną gry o pozycję w porządku instytucjonalnym Unii Europejskiej. Wszystkie trzy
instytucje aktywnie w tej grze uczestniczyły, jednak to zaangażowanie Parlamentu Europejskiego było najbardziej zauważalne. Niniejszy artykuł analizuje starania PE by wykorzystać
uruchomienie procedury z art. 50 Traktatu Unii Europejskiej do wzmocnienia swojej pozycji politycznej, poprzez celowo sformułowaną komunikację. Autor chce wykazać, że działania Parlamentu wpisały się tym samym w model konstruktywistyczny. Aktywność Parlamentu
Europejskiego jest poddana analizie także w świetle teorii instytucjonalizmu historycznego,
pozwalającej wyjaśnić motywy specyficznego zachowania PE: regularnie powtarzanych prób
zwiększenia władzy.
Jako że w chwili pisania niniejszego artykułu proces negocjacji „Brexitu” nie był jeszcze
zakończony, autor sugeruje konieczność przeprowadzenia dalszych badań dynamiki międzyinstytucjonalnej. Zebrane do tej pory dowody zdecydowanie sugerują, że proces wychodzenia
Wielkiej Brytanii z Unii Europejskiej może trwale wpłynąć na relację sił między głównymi
instytucjami UE.
The idea of creating a guide to the possible implications of Brexit came into being before the date for the Brexit referendum was set and the referendum campaign had begun. Now that the countdown to the June 23 vote is well underway, this has become a much more topical and current issue for everyone in the UK and I think that many more UK businesses are now engaged in active study and planning for Brexit scenarios.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
