On 5 May 2022, voters elected the members of the Northern Ireland Assembly (NIA) in a challenging political context, due among other things to differences over the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Umożliwia ona statkom UE prowadzenie połowów na wodach Grenlandii i odgrywa kluczową rolę w sieci wymiany kwot w regionie, ponieważ UE wymienia znaczną część swoich uprawnień do połowów na wodach Grenlandii z Norwegią i Wyspami Owczymi na kwoty połowowe na wodach tych państw. Głosowanie Parlamentu w sprawie udzielenia zgody na zawarcie ...

The agreements allow the EU fleet ...

Mauritania, an important ally of the EU in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel, faces several inter-related development challenges: ensuring an efficient use of the revenue derived from natural resources, economic diversification and improved governance. The severity of these development challenges is increased by difficult political relations between the three main ethnic groups in the country, the dominant group being the Arab-Berber Bidhan. They constitute less than one-third of the country ...
