Press review - Jean-Claude Juncker an his opinion about Brexit


Good morning Mr Wartner, good morning classmates, welcome to my press review.

I was reading an article the other day in the online edition of „BBC“ news and it talks about the Brexit process and that Jean-Claude Juncker has had enough. For all of you who do not know immediately who he is: Jean-Claude Juncker is a Luxembourg politician, serving as president of the European Comission from 2014 until now. He served as the 23rd Prime Minister of Luxembourg from 1995 to 2013, and was also the Minister for Finances from 1989 to 2009. Jean-Claude Juncker is also very famous for extravagant pronouncements and gestures like kissing EU leaders on the foreheard or playfully slapping their face.

I thought you might be interested because everyone of you has heard about the Brexit process and knows how long it already takes. I am sure that it is an interesting topic to get to know more about Mr Junckers opinion about Brexit.

Basically what it says is that Mr Juncker thought that the Brexit process would be completed by the end of January, as Boris Johnson claims. He thinks, that the Brexit process has gone on too long already.

The auther mentions that Mr Juncker knows that Mr Trump does not like the EU as a strong concept and he agrees and justify that he is very British.

The decision whether or not to re-start exit negotiations with the UK would fall primarily to EU national leaders in Berlin, Paris and beyond. The European Commission negotiates Brexit on their behalf.

Despite his complaint about the protracted Brexit process, Mr Juncker refused to accept that the EU shared at least some of the blame. In his opinion there was no point pontificating on whether Brexit could have been done and dusted ages ago if the Irish border issue had not been front and centre of divorce talks.

It is also said that Mr Junckers implication is that the EU couldn't and wouldn't have done it any other way.

It is also mentioned in the text that the European Commission president said they had found a new way in renegotiations to come up with exactly the same result as the original backstop. In practical terms, if not legally speaking, under Mr Johnson's deal, Northern Ireland will remain part of the EU's customs union after Brexit.

During his five years in office, Jean-Claude Juncker has seen some EU crisis like the migration crisis and the Greek debt crisis.

However, the Brexit will be the largest process in the European Union. What surprised me most was when asking him, if he will stay till the end of the Brexit process, he answered that he has had enough.

As for me I am curious when the end of Brexit will be. In my mind matters like that may take such a long time, but this is exaggerated.

What do you think about the Brexit process and when do you think will there be an end?

Thank you for your attention.

Outsourcing – India

Hello everyone! I have just watched the trailer of the movie „Outsourced“, which talks about the cultural differences between American and Indian business life. Today I want to give you some information about the movie regarding the employees culture and outsourcing. Basically what it talks about is that an american guy, who is travelling to Mumbai should learn the people, who are working in the call center, the American culture and mentality. The employees there have an own cultural identity and it is difficult for them to learn the American style. Typical Indian topics like the holy cows or the colourful Holi-festival also play a significan role in the movie. I think it is a very interesting topic, as outsourcing is getting more and more in the future. What do you think about outsourcing?   That is all for today! Thank you for reading! Yours, Kristina

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are essentially the same expect the date and how the shop sell cheap offers. Black Friday offers cheaper products in shopping malls on Friday and Cyber Monday offers cheaper products online on the following Monday. In general the products are 30-60% cheaper.
