THE EU IS A GREAT ECONOMIC ENGINE

Yesterday, Swiss people voted with a large majority to keep the freedom of movement for the EU citizens. Yesterday was a great day for both the EU and Switzerland. Both the EU and Switzerland have the interest to have a good relationship with each other as immigration and free trade are two sides of a coin, particularly in Europe. Actually, the European Union's four freedoms make the Europeans richer. Swiss smart people knew it but English people failed to understand the EU's four freedoms. Moreover, Swiss smart people knew Switzerland desperately needs EU/German high skilled immigrants as Switzerland, many multinational companies are highly reliant on German/EU skilled immigrants. How Switzerland has managed to maintain high productivity? How Switzerland has generated a pool of skilled professionals large enough to match the demand? Indeed, high skilled German/EU immigrants fill the void. IMHO, Switzerland stands alone won't be able to maintain high productivity. Switzerland stands alone won't be able to generate high skilled professionals large enough to match the demand. Switzerland stands alone struggles to sign any bilateral agreement in its favour.  Switzerland stands alone won't be able to maintain its living standard. English people building barriers against the EU. English people will realise the EU's four freedoms sooner than later. Many multinational companies will leave the UK without high skilled EU immigrants in the future for sure. I would like to see how the UK will fare without the EU in the future. 

I would like to see Switzerland and the European Union trade-off of the framework agreement particularly worker protection, state aid, and benefits should be in the same direction. So that Switzerland's trade-off of the framework agreement is to the complete EU single market access. I knew it will take time.

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...
