PARIS, Oct 3 (Reuters) - The European Commission is suing EU member states Spain, Cyprus, Poland and Portugal for failing to implement rules aimed at ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for multinational companies, it said on Thursday. All four countries were required to enforce the necessary laws by the end of 2023, the Commission said, adding that they had failed to notify it on any such step. Spanish Budget Minister Maria Jesus Montero said Spain was a "pioneer" in the push for a minimum tax for multinational companies and would comply with the EU requirements in the coming months, with parliament expected to approve new legislation by the end of the year. "We have a regulation that currently includes the 15% tax... but there are other things that need to be incorporated, which is what the Commission is referring to," she said. Contacted by Reuters, the Portuguese government had no immediate comment.

The supermarket can’t pretend it’s offering a discount if it raises prices just to cut them back, the judges ruled in a case brought by consumer activists from Baden-Württemberg.

Thanks for the answer. So, not wealthy at all then. Good to know.

Fun fact, whenever my blood gets used to help someone, I get a text message telling me, and a thanks. Enormously satisfying.

At least that's good. Keeps the wrong people from donating. Thanks for your answer.

Yeah. The motivation was never money. I was just curious since I heard that you got paid in the US. Apparently I was misinformed.

Still an interesting read for those who bothered to read it. There is also an interesting discussion to be had, because migration is very much needed into all western countries, but a growing part of the public seems to dislike it, hence the rise of the far right in both the US and the EU.

I think the flag is fine personally. It's very clear what the community is about.

Is that the new thing?

Yeah, all EFTA members have veto rights towards new members, and you're pretty much correct but it's even worse. The UK economy is bigger than all other EFTA countries combined. There's no way they'd let the UK in.

Norway is a rule taker that pays into the EU without any influence. They're also tiny and they know it. This is said with love from a neighbour who would love to see Norway join the EU.

I don't think the UKs collective ego would allow them to join on Norway terms.

This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?

I do. That's the correct name/spelling in Swedish.

Hate to be the one to break these news to you, but the UK is no longer an EU member state.
