For Long, Cold Winter Nights,

by Tobias Schwarz

there’s probably nothing more stimulating than brushing up one’s legal knowledge about the EU by reading a fistful of accession treaties including all appendices to the annexes IV, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII and XIV in their entirety (pdf) - via Handakte.de (German).

There are no stunning revelations in there, but it’s an insight into the path the British Government is walking on when it comes to European matters.

MacShane says: “I would liken [...]

Odd, But Interesting

by Doug Merrill

Gregg Easterbrook of the New Republic writes:
MOSCOW LOST THE COLD WAR, BUT DREAMS OF WINNING THE GLOBAL WARMING WAR: Why won’t Russia ratify the Kyoto Treaty? It would seem very much in Moscow’s interest to do so.
The United States has dropped out of Kyoto negotiations, but most other Western nations remain in. Russia now holds [...]
