Financing the EU Budget - Moving Forward or Backwards?

Gabriele Cipriani

Maison d'édition: Centre for European Policy Studies

Synopsis

Often described as complex, opaque and unfair, the EU budget financing system is an “unfinished journey.” One of the most critical issues is that EU revenue, drawn from the cashbox of national taxation, remains impalpable to the general public. The nature of the EU as a union of states and their nationals makes the visibility of EU revenue unavoidable. The political sustainability of a move that would put the legitimacy of EU revenue at the forefront of public discussion will depend on the European Commission’s ability to show that EU funds can achieve results that are truly beyond member states’ reach. The value-added tax (VAT) is a natural choice for funding the EU budget, through a dedicated EU VAT rate as part of the national VAT and designed as such in fiscal receipts, whose use as a means for raising EU citizens’ awareness could be encouraged already in the current arrangements.

Lead With Super Clarity - How...

Maanda Tshifularo

These are difficult times. The Covid-19 pandemic has proved to us that we cannot rely on tomorrow to be like today, there is no such thing as ‘business as usual’. The social and economic upheaval has been devastating, and its effects long-lasting, making these times even more uncertain.
The antidote to this uncertainty is clarity.
Maanda Tshifularo has had the privilege of interacting with successful innovators, culture shifters, business leaders and thought leaders, and their ‘common success denominator’ is the ability to see, say, and do things, with purposeful clarity.
He has identified ‘Super Clarity’ as the differentiator that helps leaders navigate the ambiguity and half-heartedness which have become the default state in many organisations, leading to plummeting employee morale and productivity.
Not only does a super-clear leader achieve and make a meaningful contribution, but they also experience remarkable joy and personal growth in the journey.
It has never been more crucial for leaders to provide clarity and, in this book, Maanda defines and explains the importance of Super Clarity, and how to translate purpose into our day-to-day activities to unlock exceptional results, job satisfaction, team cohesion and employee engagement.
He outlines in Lead with Super Clarity the critical steps that we can take, as business leaders or in our own lives, to foster clarity, and, in so doing, create an environment characterised by purpose, insight and alignment.
Maanda Tshifularo is the CEO and Founder of SuperLead Advisory (a strategy, operations and leadership consultancy), he has a track-record of leading business turn-arounds, new business ventures development and driving innovation and growth initiatives.

My Desk is Driving Me Crazy -...

Sue Rasmussen

“This book will inspire calm, clarity, and pure business sanity . . . for absolutely every worried, exhausted and beautiful entrepreneur that you know” (Tama Kieves, bestselling author of Inspired & Unstoppable). Entrepreneurs are smart, confident, good at what they do, and help their clients get amazing results. Oftentimes they are busy, stressed, and overwhelmed which holds them back from the success and the difference they really want to make. Traditional time-management approaches encourage entrepreneurs to speed up, fit more in, and be more efficient—so they can cross everything off their to-do list. However, they don’t stop to consider that maybe they shouldn’t be trying to do everything on their to-do list in the first place. When you’re overwhelmed or too busy, focusing on getting more done isn’t the answer. So what is the answer? In My Desk is Driving Me Crazy you’ll discover how to easily sort through what is important and what isn’t—and let the unimportant things go—so you can put your energy on what truly matters to you instead, with ease and clarity. “A generous work of inspiration . . . Shows us how to find and follow our own kind of simplicity out of the chaos we create. This funny, friendly, smart book is not just about your desk . . . it’s about clearing your head in anything you do.” —Barbara Sher, New York Times–bestselling author of It’s Only Too Late If You Don’t Start Now “An enjoyable and accessible guide to clearing the inner and outer clutter that gets in the way of the life for which you’re longing.” —Kimberly Schneider, M.Ed., JD, LPC, author of Everything You Need Is Right Here

Grain by Grain - A Quest to...

Bob Quinn, Liz Carlisle

When Bob Quinn was a kid, a stranger at a county fair gave him a few kernels of an unusual grain. Little did he know, that grain would change his life. Years later, after finishing a PhD in plant biochemistry and returning to his family's farm in Montana, Bob started experimenting with organic wheat. In the beginning, his concern wasn't health or the environment; he just wanted to make a decent living and some chance encounters led him to organics.  
 
But as demand for organics grew, so too did Bob's experiments. He discovered that through time-tested practices like cover cropping and crop rotation, he could produce successful yields - without pesticides. Regenerative organic farming allowed him to grow fruits and vegetables in cold, dry Montana, providing a source of local produce to families in his hometown. He even started producing his own renewable energy. And he learned that the grain he first tasted at the fair was actually a type of ancient wheat, one that was proven to lower inflammation rather than worsening it, as modern wheat does.  
 
Ultimately, Bob's forays with organics turned into a multimillion dollar heirloom grain company, Kamut International.
