Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 16:24:43 GMT
The European Commission has formally launched an anti-subsidy investigation into the imports of battery electric vehicles (BEV) from China. The investigation will first determine whether BEV value chains in China benefit from illegal subsidisation and whether this subsidisation causes or threatens to cause economic injury to EU BEV producers. Should both prove true, the investigation will examine the likely consequences and impact of measures on importers, users and consumers of battery electric vehicles in the EU.Based on the investigation's findings, the Commission will establish whether it is in the EU's interest to remedy the effects of the unfair trade practices found by imposing anti-subsidy duties on imports of battery electric vehicles from China.The investigation, announced by Ursula von der Leyen on 13 September in the State of the European Union (SOTEU) speech, will follow strict legal procedures in line with EU and WTO rules, allowing all parties concerned, including the...Harriette Cole: It’s hard to resist getting even with my no-show friend

(CNN) — En esta era no tan dorada del transporte aéreo nacional, facturar una maleta gratis es un lujo reservado para pocos. Y los que facturan sus maletas a menudo se encuentran estresados durante todo el viaje, preguntándose si su equipaje llegará realmente a destino con ellos.Como resultado, más viajeros que nunca optan por meter sus pertenencias en una maleta de mano, muchas de ellas voluminosas y con ruedas.¿Cuál es el resultado? Una batalla campal a la hora de embarcar, en la que los nerviosos pasajeros rondan la puerta de embarque con la esperanza de ser de los primeros en subir al avión, todo ello para asegurarse un pequeño espacio en el compartimento superior cerca de su asiento.Por desgracia, esos codiciados compartimentos no se diseñaron pensando en la maleta de mano normal. Deben colocarse en posición horizontal, dejando un pequeño espacio sobre ellas que apenas sirve para nada y que ocupa una buena parte del espacio de los compartimentos.Entonces entran en la hist...‘The game is still the same’: Young Orioles get advice for baseball playoff debuts from psychologists, veterans

It was only about a month into his big league tenure when Orioles rookie Jordan Westburg got a memorable piece of advice from 10-year veteran Aaron Hicks.Westburg had just rocketed a pitch down the third base line in the ninth inning, with the Orioles trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-3 on July 18. For a moment, after his feet crossed the bag at first, he contemplated sprinting for second. But he thought better of it, and stayed put.With the Orioles so far behind, the play would prove virtually meaningless. The O’s lost by that same score just a few batters later. But the play meant something to Hicks.“After the game, Aaron Hicks came up to me and he was like, ‘Hey, man, our style of baseball is aggressive here. I think you should have gone for it,’ Westburg said.For an Orioles team packed with young big leaguers, those tidbits of guidance will perhaps become even more important — particularly when they come from the few current Orioles with post...Icy flood that killed at least 41 in India’s northeast had been feared for years

NEW DELHI (AP) — Hundreds of rescuers dug through slushy debris and fast-flowing, icy water Friday in a search for survivors after a glacial lake overflowed and burst through a dam in India’s Himalayan north, a disaster that many had warned was possible for years.The flood began in the early hours of Wednesday, when water overflowed a mountain lake. It smashed through a major hydroelectric dam downstream and then poured into the valley below, where it killed at least 41 people and forced thousands to flee their homes. Police said that 22 of the dead were found kilometers (miles) downriver in West Bengal state, while 100 people are still missing. The disaster underscores a climate dilemma that’s pitted local environmental activists who say the dams are too dangerous against authorities pursuing a national green energy agenda for years.It wasn’t clear what triggered the deadly flood, the latest to hit northeast India in a year of unusually heavy monsoon rains.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Germany’s foreign minister on Friday expressed the European Union’s deep concerns following the recent shootout between masked Serb gunmen and Kosovo police that left four people dead and sent tensions soaring in the region. Annalena Baerbock was in Tirana, Albania at a meeting of foreign ministers ahead of the Oct. 16 summit on the Berlin Process, an initiative from Germany and France to encourage six Western Balkans countries to keep working toward membership of the bloc. The foreign ministers of the six countries — Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia — are meeting with Baerbock, EU Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi and other senior officials from the bloc. “The foundation for mobility in the region is security and safety,” said Baerbock before the start of the meeting, adding, “The tensions within the last days between Serbia and Kosovo are also endangering this Berlin Process.”On Sept. 24, around 30 heavily armed Se...Jailed Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi wins the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting women’s oppression

OSLO, Norway (AP) — Imprisoned activist Narges Mohammadi, who has campaigned for women’s rights, democracy and against the death penalty in Iran for years, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.Mohammadi, 51, has done her work despite facing numerous arrests and spending years behind bars for her activism.“This prize is first and foremost a recognition of the very important work of a whole movement in Iran with with its undisputed leader, Nargis Mohammadi,” said Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee who announced the prize in Oslo. “The impact of the prize is not for the Nobel committee to decide upon. We hope that it is an encouragement to continue the work in whichever form this movement finds to be fitting.”Mohammadi’s most recent incarceration began when she was detained in 2021 after she attended a memorial for a person killed in nationwide 2019 protests sparked by an increase in gasoline prices. She’s been held at Tehran’s notorious Evin Pr...Latest news
