THE UK -EU IN-OUT REFERENDUM 2013


To: The Right Honourable British Prime Minister Mr. David Cameron

RE: Your Speech on Europe in-out referendum.

Suggestion: Good Morning Mr. Prime Minister. I had read your complete speech on EU very recently. You had said in your speech "Britain could make her own way in the world outside the EU". As an Analyst, I can say that you are wrong Mr. Prime Minister. It is not a good idea to leave EU. It would be absolute worst thing that could happen to UK because EU is by far the strongest force in the world for free trade. For instance, EU is presently finalising FTA with Canada. EU has genuine FTA with South Korea. Recently, EU is finalising FTA with Singapore. The numbers speak for themselves. You may argue that FTA still likely with EFTA, EEC or individual treaties like Switzerland and Norway but indeed, geography matters after all for trading Mr. Prime Minister. In addition, UK imports more from EU than it exports to EU. If EU imposed heavy tariffs on imported products it would be significantly harming UK economy.

Let me put it in perspective. EU gives businessess access to nearly 500 million consumers for UK business sector and makes UK more prosperous till 2007. Thereafter, UK economy slipped into recession due to global financial crisis 2008.  Today, Britain is blaming the UK's poor growth on euro crisis. Most Britain are in favour of leaving the EU. Mr. Prime Minister, it is your job to educate British people, leaving the EU may mark the start of nightmare of British econnomy. Britain has done a fantastic job in building the EU for global free trade. The UK-EU free market trade increased consumer choice and goods are no longer delayed in customs and delivering goods on time or shortly and bringing down the price for consumers.

UK could join NAFTA to create counterveiling power of traded disputes but ultimately this would create bad relationship with Europe. UK economy is already in fragile. It would be double tragedy for UK.  Even child would be smart enough to pick an option for trading with EU benefits or individual treaties benefits. Britain cannot be success without EU but EU can be success without Britain.  As you knew that EU is the biggest market in the world and it produces around 25 percent of global GDP. The EU is an innovative idea. Presently, EU is in crisis but the crisis is temporary. In my view, United States of Europe is a solution. EU will be a success project without UK.  

Thank you very much for your kind attention Mr. Prime Minister.

Sincere Regards,

Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

To put things into perspective, Nagorno-Karabakh is not an independent entity but an occupied territory of the Azerbaijan Republic and is recognised by the international community and the UN. The fact that the Armenian Prime Minister's son is doing his military service in the Armenian army located in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh and started an undeclared war against Azerbaijan, occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 adjacent regions of Azerbaijan, and massacred and forcefully deported Azerbaijani aborigines was the main reason for the lack of peace in the region. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the Nagorno-Karabakh civilian population, individual civilians, and civilian property. The laws of armed conflict failed to discriminate between those taking parts in the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the environment as war causes severe or long term damage to the environment. The fact here is that there is a number of international doc...

SUGGESTION TO THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONAL COURT, GERMANY  To:               The Right Honorable Federal Constitutional Court Vice President  From:           Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date:            05.10.2011 RE:               Issuance of Eurobond   Suggestion:    Approval of Issuing Eurobond Good Morning Prof. Dr. Kirchhof. I am writing to express that Federal constitutional court explicitly rules out Eurobonds a few weeks ago. In addition you had warned, Ms. Angela Merkel, a Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, never again to propose Eurobond. This is certainly not good news for me as well as Europe. German brothers and sisters in the Euroland must help in this difficult moment with iss...

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA To: The Right Honorable Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: 30.09.2011 RE: Japan Energy Policy Suggestion: Changing Industrial Policy Good Morning Prime Minister. BBC World broadcasted your speech regarding alternate energy sources. I agree with your approach to reduce nuclear power in the medium term because having the nuclear reactors in an earthquake prone zone is not safe for the environment or the communities that live near them. Japan is struck in a difficult situation concerning energy. If you want to eventually move away from the nuclear energy, you’ll have to invest more alternative energy sources. If you can’t invest, then it may have to say with a nuclear power for a while. You need make the right decision because source of energy is dwindling. You have one more option which is Japanese people depend on nuclear power with only 1% but 9% including hydroe...
