The eurozone calm since the Summer of 2012 may not only be due to the ECB's OMT promise. There is a correlation between the expansion of the balance sheets of the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan on the one hand and the borrowing costs of the eurozone periphery on the other. - The Guardian's overview of five years eurocrisis - 17/10/2014 http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/oct/17/europe-in-turmoil-five-years-of-economic-crisis

Certain local taxi regulations may violate EU competition rules and prevent customers from benefiting from services offered by foreign companies, like taxi-sharing app Uber, which was banned in Germany. The European Commission only has powers to investigate violations of EU rules which guarantee fair competition. It can’t endorse one specific company, as Uber, let alone criticize court judgements, which Commissioner Neelie Kroes did. - Puls Biznesu - 9/9/2014 http://pulsbiznesu.pb.pl/3842431,22458,polak-jest-uzalezniony-od-samochodu
