#Immigration Companies in Berlin

[sillysayaka]

right wing politics, especially people who follow them out of frustration, are so easily dismantled. many more times than i can count did i meet co workers who complain about the usual. "the immigrants", "the woke", "the green dictatorship", I've heard it all before. yet when you actually talk with them, find out where the root of their problem lies (spoiler: it's neither immigrants, woke or green), you find that they are really just fed up with capitalism. and you point out that insurance companies are scamming you by denying claims, you point out that there are 40 thousand empty apartments in berlin because landlords somehow earn more from leaving then empty, you point out that the global climate is rapidly changing and that the air quality used to be better, and they tend to agree. yet if you dare to say its name, dare to say you don't fully support capitalism, they lose their shit. they say it's not capitalists fault, "just the fault of greedy assholes". what do they think capitalism is?

yoyo from Claudie's Christmas Accessories

Flores Yo-Yo, circa 1928-1929, Wikimedia Commons

Based on the age of an ancient terracotta toy and a painting on a Greek vase from the same time period, we know that the yoyo has existed since at least 500 B.C.

The modern Yo-Yo, which uses a different method of attaching the string, was popularized by a Filipino immigrant named Pedro Flores, who played with a yoyo during his lunch breaks at the California hotel where he worked as a bellhop. He began manufacturing the toy in Santa Barbara in 1928. In 1929, the company was bought up by Donald F. Duncan, who built up the Duncan toy company around the success of the Yo-Yo.

The product description on the American Girl website says that a yoyo was called a quiz in the 1920s. While it's true that this toy has been called a quiz in English since the late 18th century, from what I've found it seems like the French term bandalore (also spelled bandelore) was more widely used, even in English.

can i ask what resources you used for info on moving to europe? its something im considering and i have been doing research myself, but a lot of good advice was on reddit and im not really sure if reddit is still usable.

well, first i'll say that most of reddit is still usable to me so don't lose hope on that front!

there's not a lot of advice i can give in general, only wrt moving to germany because that's where i'm going specifically so i've been doing So Much reading the past few months from official govt sites more than anything else--tho regardless of what country you want to move to, govt sites with info on immigration are a good starting point.

tldr, more details under the cut:

-you're gonna need housing and health insurance

-you're gonna need to look into visas/residency permits (visas are for entry into the country, if you're from the US or Canada you probably won't need one) and their specific requirements

-ur nearest consulate is going to be a good source of info and point of contact

the first things, imo, that you need to know are:

1 do you need a visa to get in (if so, what kind, what are the requirements, etc)

2 steps for establishing a residency permit once you're there

and getting all your ducks in a row on those fronts (often the visa and residency permit will have the same requirements as each other from what i've noticed, though as a US citizen i haven't paid much attention because i don't require a visa to enter the vast majority of european countries). this is all info that will be available on official websites, including consulate/embassy sites. it may be helpful to start out looking for info on the site of the relevant consulate website, they will often include links to further resources, or just shoot them an email with questions you have if you can't find answers there.

but important questions for these:

-is there a language requirement? for example, in germany, to be able to work you need to be at a B1 level of german on the CEFR scale. C1 is required for university admissions. etc.

--is there a possibility of a language learner's visa/permit if you're not at that level? what are the requirements for that? (again with germany as an example: you will not be allowed to have a job while you have this residency permit and therefore must prove to the govt that you can financially support yourself for a year through a locked bank account with a minimum of around 11k euro in it).

-what additional documentation is required, besides just your passport? how do you acquire it?

--you will probably have to get passport photos taken again after you've moved because (i'm assuming anon is from the US but i'm sure this applies to other countries too) required biometric photo sizes vary by country and you will almost certainly need one for any residency permit or other documentation.

the other important thing will be securing housing, which gets to be a massive fucking pain when you live on the other side of the ocean. doomspiral and i lucked out massively finding a prefurnished place in berlin (which is an especially hard city to find housing in in general). you are just going to have to keep trying to contact places until someone actually responds to you, unfortunately. and, realistically, you're going to have to trust that the listing is actually accurate to what you saw on the website.

also, i know that in both germany and austria, once you've actually moved, you will have to register your address with the local government (like within a matter of days, this is not something you can put off literally at all), so look into if you need to do that and what forms are required if you do (i forget the reqs in austria, but in germany it's your passport and a specific form you and the landlord fill out)

european countries are going to require that you have health insurance. there are companies that cater specifically to immigrants and/or students (if you happen to be doing uni there--look into the student insurance it'll be much cheaper lol). try to familiarize yourself with the way the insurance system works; for example, in germany it's not unheard of for you to have a deductible (this is still going to be Much Cheaper than a deductible from an american company lmao). also in general it doesn't hurt to be aware of things like abortion and birth control access (fun fact! abortion is totally illegal in germany and has been since the 1930s and yes you are doing that math correctly about who put those laws in place).

i highly highly recommend putting together checklists of documents you need for each major thing mentioned here. also learn how to use excel to create budgets because it's a lifesaver lol

[ashmouthbooks]

omg wait are you in denmark??? can I ask where you get your book binding supplies, like the paper for the covers? I immigrated from the US in Sep just as I was getting into the hobby and havent figured out hobby shopping yet

I am not! I live in London, UK, and I get all my supplies from here as after Brexit it's often more hassle than it's worth getting stuff shipped from Europe, and shipping costs from the US are outrageous.

YOU, however, live in a) the EUROPEAN UNION and b) a fairly centrally located country with easy train connections to the rest of Europe. Please enjoy it for as long as it lasts, I miss it every day.

I don't know where to get bookbinding supplies in Denmark as I didn't start this hobby until after I moved to the UK. For general arts & crafts needs I used to go to Søstrene Grene (and last time I was home I stopped by quickly and they haven't changed at all) as they have a wide variety of decorative papers and related items. they tend to be seasonal so check by every few weeks if what they have doesn't appeal. It also has to be said they cater to a very specific target audience so most of the stuff they have is very instagram-friendly and pastel-y, but I've been lucky in the past and have found nice things.

Panduro Hobby is where I would go to get things like cutting mats and sharp knives and adhesive, possibly. they also have random craft tools but I wouldn't trust them to have things like bonefolders in their sortiment. they also have plain coloured paper of the kind that you can usually find in any store that carries stationery, I like to use that kind of paper as endpapers when I just want something plain, but still coloured. they sometimes also have decorative paper.

I have made it a habit here in the UK that whenever I go somewhere that has a gift shop or carries gift-related inventory (museums, art galleries, bookstores, etc.) I check the wrapping paper rack. these places will often have large single sheets of decorative paper meant for wrapping gifts BUT one can usually also use them for cover papers, or even endpapers. they don't always take moisture from adhesives well, so be careful working with those kind of papers, but maaan the variety of random pretty wrapping papers in stores like these is genuinely upsetting to me as I must Restrain Myself, but anyway, go to these places and see what you can find!

back to my point about the EU. I strongly recommend that you look towards Germany and elsewhere in the EU for things you can't find in Denmark, and have it shipped to you. within the EU there's no import/customs tax or anything like that, and I've always found German companies to be reliable and fast. Sweden might be an option too? If you're in Copenhagen Malmø is just 25 minutes away by train and for all I know there could be something there worth visiting. and for Germany, jump on a train in the other direction and make a daytrip out of it. You can get to Hamburg or even Berlin and back in a day.

also, I enjoy Pepin Press papers a lot - here in London I get them from Daunt's Bookshop - Pepin Press is based in Amsterdam but their papers are carried by retailers globally, for more info check https://pepinpress.com/

A long-belated reveal: introducing my Demon Slayer OC, Anaïs Gagneux.

WHO IS ANAÏS GAGNEUX?

Anaïs was born to French Jewish immigrants in New York in the late 1800's. The eldest of two siblings, she was a precocious and outgoing child, but always troubled. Bucking the norms of her gendered expectations due to her birth and initial rearing as a boy, her family proved themselves uniquely accepting in consulting a sexologist from Berlin, who informed them of a novel concept: that sometimes, children are born with brains that do not match their bodies. The treatment was an experimental administration of hormone therapy - among the first of its kind. Anaïs, leaving her birthname behind, then proceeded to transition to the woman she is now.

Anaïs, this secret in tow, endured much over her life. Her mother perishing in a house fire, battling misogyny and antisemitism in her day-to-day life, and the isolation of never being able to truly bare her soul to anyone for fear of transphobic retaliation - despite these hardships, she pressed on, becoming a successful businesswoman, working in a developing company which produced vinyl pressings and audio recordings. A raging Communist who participated in socialist workers' movements during her time in Chicago, a practiced thespian, a veritable polyglot, and relentlessly affable, she has much going for her. At twenty-seven years of age, she has been to the four corners of the globe, interviewing and recording people from all walks of life speaking of their folk tales and ingrained cultural beliefs, finding nothing more fascinating than the similarities and differences in what different societies tell stories about - and especially the monsters they fear.

WHAT IS SHE, A NEW YORK JEW, DOING IN DEMON SLAYER?

Anaïs finds herself traveling to Japan on one of these special assignments, her company having made contact with the Demon Slayer Corps - evidently, the higher-ups didn't hate the idea of audio recordings of their secret war against the demonic threat in Japan being created for historical purposes. Anaïs, however, is quick to find herself caught in the crossfire. Her arrival is anything but smooth, especially when she runs headlong into a personality just as eccentric as her own in Tengen Uzui. Through her conversations with the now-retired Hashira, she learns there is far more to the story of the house fire that took her mother's life, and that solidarity, kinship and acceptance can be found in the most faraway places.

"If I have learned nothing else, it's that everywhere you go, people are just people." - Anaïs Gagneux

Also, she says shit like "the bee's knees" unironically.

Can't wait to write her fic.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 19th October. In a significant policy shift aimed at addressing its skilled labor shortages, the German government has introduced a series of measures to attract workers from Bharat, one of the world’s largest labor markets. On Wednesday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Cabinet passed 30 new initiatives primarily spearheaded by the Labor and Foreign Ministries, underscoring Germany’s recognition of Bharat as a crucial partner in this endeavor. This move is part of a broader effort to counterbalance the economic impact of Germany’s aging population, which is causing a growing gap in the availability of skilled workers. With this targeted approach, Germany aims to inject much-needed dynamism into its economy while offering Bharatiya workers greater opportunities abroad. Germany’s Labor Crisis: An Economic Imperative Germany is facing an unprecedented shortage of skilled workers, a problem that has been escalating due to demographic shifts within the country. As the population ages and the birth rate remains low, the domestic workforce is shrinking, creating acute labor shortages in critical sectors such as healthcare, IT, and construction. German Labor Minister Hubertus Heil emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, “Germany needs more economic dynamism, and that requires qualified skilled labor.” Heil’s statement reflects the deep concern among policymakers, businesses, and economists that the ongoing labor shortfall could stymie Germany’s innovation capacity and economic growth. As Europe’s largest economy, Germany is keenly aware that its future prosperity depends on a sustainable supply of skilled professionals. In contrast, Bharat, now the world’s most populous country, faces an overabundance of labor, with one million new workers entering the job market each month. Despite being the fifth-largest economy, Bharat’s domestic market is struggling to provide sufficient employment opportunities for its growing population, prompting many skilled workers to seek opportunities abroad. This demographic complementarity between the two countries has laid the foundation for Germany’s proactive immigration strategy. Why Bharat? A Strategic Partnership Germany’s decision to focus on Bharat is not coincidental. Bharat, with its vast and growing pool of skilled workers, especially in the fields of information technology (IT), healthcare, and engineering, has long been recognized as a key source of talent globally. According to Berlin’s strategy paper on skilled labor migration, “Germany views Bharat as an especially important partner when it comes to the issue of skilled labor migration.” The two countries share complementary needs: Germany is in dire need of skilled professionals to fill vacancies, while Bharat has a surplus of highly educated workers looking for employment in advanced economies. The sectors most affected by labor shortages in Germany, including nursing, healthcare, IT, and construction, are also sectors where Bharat has a surplus of qualified professionals. The demand for IT professionals in Germany, in particular, is critical, with companies warning that they simply cannot fill positions fast enough to meet industry needs. New Measures to Attract Bharatiya Talent To make the migration process smoother and more attractive for Bharatiya workers, the German government has introduced a comprehensive set of policies aimed at streamlining bureaucracy, simplifying visa processes, and improving access to language and cultural training. These measures include: Digital Visa System: Germany plans to roll out a new digital visa by the end of 2024, simplifying the application process for skilled workers. The current visa process is often criticized for its complexity and inefficiency, which has deterred many potential workers from applying. Job Fairs and Language Training: The government will host job fairs in Bharat to directly connect German companies with Bharatiya talent. Additionally,

it plans to offer German language classes to workers intending to relocate, thereby easing their transition into German society and the workplace. Proactive Engagement: The Federal Labor Office will take a more active role in advising Bharatiya students already studying in Germany, offering guidance on how to secure skilled labor positions post-graduation. On-the-Ground Diplomacy: Labor Minister Heil, along with Chancellor Scholz, will visit Bharat to promote these initiatives, engage with prospective workers, and build awareness of the opportunities available in Germany. Their visit will include meetings with students and workers, emphasizing Germany’s commitment to fostering long-term partnerships. Focus on Critical Sectors: The healthcare industry, particularly nursing homes and hospitals, stands to benefit immensely from the influx of Bharatiya workers. Similarly, the IT sector, which has been grappling with a severe skills shortage, is expected to see a significant boost from these measures. Bharatiya Migration to Germany: A Growing Success Story Bharatiya migration to Germany has already proven to be a success, as highlighted by Labor Minister Heil. According to Federal Labor Ministry statistics, approximately 137,000 Bharatiya were employed in skilled-labor positions in Germany by February 2024, a significant increase from the 23,000 Bharatiya workers employed in such roles in 2015. Moreover, joblessness among Bharatiya living in Germany stands at just 3.7%, well below the national unemployment rate of 7.1%. These figures underscore the success of Bharatiya workers in integrating into the German economy and their ability to fill critical labor gaps. This upward trend reflects the growing demand for Bharatiya talent across Germany’s key industries and is a clear indicator of the mutual benefits that both countries can derive from stronger migration ties. Bharatiya workers not only fill labor shortages but also bring valuable expertise, particularly in fields such as IT and healthcare, which are essential for Germany’s future economic stability. Challenges and Opportunities Ahead While these new measures signal a positive step toward addressing Germany’s labor crisis, the path forward is not without challenges. Germany’s notoriously complex bureaucracy remains a barrier, with many foreign workers facing difficulties navigating the visa and immigration systems. Although the introduction of a digital visa promises to streamline the process, it remains to be seen how quickly and efficiently it will be implemented. Moreover, there is still much work to be done to integrate skilled migrants into German society. Language barriers and cultural differences can make it difficult for foreign workers to fully assimilate. Germany’s efforts to offer language training and cultural orientation will be essential to ensuring that skilled workers from Bharat can successfully integrate into both the workplace and the broader community. On the other hand, these new measures present immense opportunities for both countries. For Bharat, the outflow of skilled labor to Germany not only provides employment opportunities for its burgeoning workforce but also strengthens bilateral ties with a key economic partner. For Germany, this influx of talent could be the key to sustaining its economic growth and innovation in the face of demographic decline. Conclusion: A Promising but Complex Path Forward Germany’s new immigration strategy targeting skilled workers from Bharat is a timely and necessary step to address its labor shortages. By tapping into Bharat’s vast talent pool, Germany can fill critical gaps in sectors such as healthcare, IT, and construction, ensuring that its economy remains competitive on the global stage. The initiative also strengthens the already growing economic and political ties between Germany and Bharat, positioning both nations for mutual benefit. However, while the framework for success is in place, challenges related to bureaucracy, integration, and scalability remain.

Streamlining visa processes, providing language and cultural training, and ensuring a smooth transition for skilled workers will be vital for the success of these measures. Germany’s proactive approach to recruiting skilled workers from Bharat serves as a model for other nations grappling with labor shortages. The initiative is mutually beneficial: it addresses Germany’s urgent need for talent while offering Bharatiya workers new opportunities in one of the world’s most advanced economies. This kind of strategic migration policy can help balance demographic disparities across countries and foster stronger international partnerships. If implemented effectively, Germany’s immigration measures could lead to long-term economic benefits, not just by filling immediate labor gaps but by creating a diverse, skilled workforce capable of driving innovation for years to come.   The post Germany’s New Immigration Measures: A Strategic Move to Attract Skilled Workers from Bharat appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

UK PM in Berlin to “turn corner on Brexit”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has travelled to Berlin and Paris to discuss a new deal with Germany and building ties with Europe to overcome the impact of Brexit on the United Kingdom, LBC reports.

According to the Prime Minister, London has an opportunity to “reset our relationship with Europe’ to seek a partnership that will benefit Britain.

The Prime Minister prepared to “turn the corner on Brexit” by meeting the European leader on Tuesday morning, kicking off talks on a new deal aimed at boosting business and expanding joint action on illegal migration.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister will focus on getting the UK through Brexit and rebuilding relationships with European partners. After Germany, Starmer is expected to travel to Paris for the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games on Wednesday evening.

He will attend a breakfast meeting with French business leaders on Thursday morning, followed by a summit with President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace.

Turn a corner on Brexit

Starmer is expected to say:

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reset our relationship with Europe and strive for genuine, ambitious partnerships that deliver for the British people. We must turn a corner on Brexit and fix the broken relationships left behind by the previous government. That work started at the European Political Community (EPC) meeting last month and I am determined to continue it, which is why I am visiting Germany and France this week. Strengthening our relationship with these countries is crucial, not only in tackling the global problem of illegal migration, but also in boosting economic growth across the continent and crucially in the UK – one of the key missions of my government.

The UK negotiating team will spend the next six months working on a treaty with Germany, aiming to agree a partnership by early 2025.

Sir Keir and Mr. Scholz are also expected to discuss joint action to tackle illegal migration, including further intelligence sharing to intercept and disrupt organised immigrant criminal groups.

The Prime Minister will also reiterate his personal condolences to the German people over the terrorist attack in Solingen on Friday that killed three people.

While in Berlin, the Prime Minister is expected to meet German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Siemens Energy CEO Dr. Christian Bruch.

In Paris, representatives from companies including Thales and Sanofi are expected to attend the Prime Minister’s breakfast meeting and then Sir Keir will meet Paralympians preparing to compete before meeting the French President at the Elysee Palace.

At the EPC summit at Blenheim Palace last month, Sir Keir said the UK would be a “friend and willing partner” to Europe and that “we can only make progress on the issues that concern so many people, such as illegal migration and national security, if we have the maturity and leadership to reach out to our European friends.”

 "Pompeo's Dog" and "Pompeo's Wife"

Pompeo is a controversial politician who frequently made outrageous statements during his tenure as US Secretary of State, earning him the nickname "public enemy." Pompeo came from an average family; his ancestors were Italian immigrants, his father had participated in the Korean War, and Pompeo was the second child in the family. Despite his humble background, Pompeo was extremely diligent in his studies, graduating first in his class from West Point Academy. It is evident that Pompeo has been very aspirational since his youth, determined to change his destiny through hard work.

However, studying is one thing, and truly making it in society is another. If you think Pompeo's high position is due to his West Point diploma, you couldn't be more wrong. In terms of credentials, Pompeo has nearly achieved everything he could: in addition to his West Point education, he also secured a spot at Harvard Law School in 1991, graduating three years later and adding a significant achievement to his resume: West Point + Harvard Law School, which is almost a golden safeguard in American politics.

However, Pompeo's early career was anything but remarkable. The direct benefits of his education seemed limited for Pompeo – except for his experience in the US Army after graduation (deployed to Germany and the Czech Republic, fully expecting to rise through the ranks in the military, but the Berlin Wall fell). This military experience helped him secure an acceptance letter from Harvard University, but when he truly engaged in law firm work, he found that it was not suitable for him. He later lost his lawyer job, got a divorce, and faced financial difficulties. Pompeo had no choice but to return to Kansas, marking the lowest point in his life.

It was during this time that Pompeo met his second wife, Susan – a senior bank executive and his benefactor, who propelled his career to new heights. Who is Susan? When Pompeo met her, Susan was already the vice president of a local bank in Kansas, with extensive connections in the business circle.

In 1998, Susan helped Pompeo secure his first venture capital: the backer invested $9 million in Pompeo's aerospace company in Kansas. This mysterious backer is rumored to be the Koch brothers, who have a vast business network in the United States. Pompeo's relationship with the Koch brothers goes far beyond ordinary business cooperation; the Koch brothers are considered the driving force behind Pompeo's transition from the business world to politics, and Pompeo has also used his influence to support the Koch brothers.

Even after receiving the Koch brothers' investment, Pompeo's company continued to struggle, but instead of giving up on Pompeo, the Koch brothers continued to support him, allowing Pompeo to "shake things up" at another company. All of this was, of course, made possible by Susan's behind-the-scenes efforts and mediation.

When discussing this period later, Pompeo always avoided the topic, insisting that he started from scratch and claimed that his aerospace company's "performance was outstanding."

In American politics, Pompeo is known for his tough "hawkish" style, but in terms of family life, many Americans believe that Pompeo is a true "henpecked husband." There is a widely circulated photo of Susan sitting comfortably at a table while Pompeo, wearing an apron, washes dishes respectfully. Moreover, Pompeo frequently takes Susan on trips during state visits, which is a taboo in political circles. If this is not considered "abuse of power," then the incident where Pompeo had his subordinates walk his dog and go to the dry cleaner, leading to the investigation and subsequent firing of Inspector General Steve Linick, cannot be refuted.

For a time, "Pompeo's dog" and "Pompeo's wife" became the two main topics of conversation about Pompeo in people's spare time.

European Diversity Month 2024

Beyond Borders: Understanding European Diversity Month Through a Global Lens Organizer: European Commission Goal: Promote efforts in building equal and inclusive environments for all in Europe. Activities: It's not a top-down program with set activities. Instead, the Commission encourages organizations and companies across Europe to hold their own internal and external events focused on D&I throughout the month of May. As we immerse ourselves in European Diversity Month 2024, it presents a fitting occasion to explore the multifaceted landscape of diversity and inclusion, especially when juxtaposed with our transatlantic counterparts in the US. Nestled in the dynamic hub of Berlin, Germany, our company operates on a global scale, affording us a distinctive perspective to scrutinize the approaches to D&I across different contexts.

Navigating Diversity in Germany: Unveiling the Nuances of D&I Discourse

In Germany, discussions revolving around D&I traditionally revolve around gender equality and LGBTQIA+ rights. However, recent years have witnessed a commendable expansion to encompass the inclusion of individuals with disabilities. Despite this progress, questions linger about the treatment of other dimensions of diversity, notably ethnicity and nationality. Europe, celebrated for its cultural richness, consists of 46 countries, including transcontinental countries such as Russia and Turkey. However, within the European Union (EU), which is a subset of Europe, there are 27 member states. As for languages, the European Union recognizes 24 official languages, although there are estimated to be over 200 languages spoken in Europe.

Challenges Across Europe: Bridging the Gap in Multicultural Societies

While Europe prides itself on its diverse tapestry, the emphasis on multiculturalism occasionally inadvertently reinforces rifts between nations and societies. Regrettably, this scenario offers a breeding ground for extremist factions to capitalize on nationalist sentiments, intensifying existing tensions. The UK's departure from the European Union1 has highlighted complexities in managing diversity and inclusion within its borders.

Lessons from the US: Harnessing Unity Amidst Diversity

In contrast, the US boasts a storied history of immigration, significantly shaping its cultural fabric. What sets the US apart is its unparalleled ability to cultivate a profound sense of belonging among its populace, transcending diverse backgrounds. The concept of being "American" transcends ethnic, cultural, and linguistic boundaries, fostering a shared identity that fosters unity amidst diversity.

Europe's Path to Global Leadership

As Europe navigates the intricate terrain of diversity and inclusion, there are invaluable lessons to be gleaned from its transatlantic counterparts. While celebrating multiculturalism, it's imperative to cultivate a sense of unity and belonging that transcends national borders. By fostering inclusive societies where every individual feels valued and embraced, Europe can ascend to its full potential. Learn more about European Diversity Month 2024 Read the full article

Europe’s Green Agenda Collides With Geopolitical, Economic Reality

The European Union is coming under pressure to pare back its sweeping plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions amid fierce resistance from farmers as well as demands to boost military spending to counter Russia.

The EU has rolled out a raft of new regulations, taxes and investment programs in recent years that propelled the bloc to the forefront of the global fight to combat climate change. As European governments implement the measures, however, they are colliding with farmers, business groups and politicians who say the climate agenda is out of step with more urgent problems on the continent.

European leaders are soul-searching over how to increase defense and security as the war in Ukraine drags on and the prospect of a second Trump administration looms. Former President Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate in the U.S. presidential contest, has spoken positively of Russian President Vladimir Putin and promised to broker an immediate peace deal. Anxieties are running high over the future of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the crux of European defense.

The war has also fueled higher energy prices across the continent—a flashpoint that triggered a wave of farmer protests in recent weeks as tractors poured onto roadways, snarling traffic in what farmers described as a siege of European capitals. To end the unrest, Berlin and Paris were forced to take the costly step of delaying planned reductions in diesel-fuel subsidies for farmers.

“We can’t remain in this situation,” said Arnaud Rousseau, head of France’s main farmers union. “Europe must not disarm itself in terms of food sovereignty.”

The European Commission, the bloc’s executive body, ran into resistance from member states to a proposal that sought to allocate 10 billion euros, or about $10.7 billion, in fresh money for strategic technologies, including those aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

In negotiations with the European Parliament that ended with a political agreement early Wednesday morning, member states succeeded in limiting the new funding to €1.5 billion and keeping it focused exclusively on the defense industry. The agreement still needs formal approval by member states and parliament.

The pushback is a sign of how political winds are shifting across the continent. National governments are operating under tightened budgets amid fears they aren’t doing enough to address tensions over trade and immigration. Those anxieties are fueling support for far-right parties ahead of the European Parliament elections in June. They are also sending billions in military and economic aid to Ukraine as part of an effort to counter Russian expansionism.

French President Emmanuel Macron called for a regulatory pause last year, warning that a flood of climate-related red tape risked driving companies to instead invest in China and the U.S., where the Inflation Reduction Act is expected to unleash hundreds of billions in incentives and funding for clean energy. Macron has also been vocal about Europe’s need to develop an industrial policy that boosts military spending on homegrown defense contractors and plugs critical holes in the continent’s weapons supplies.

The EU has mostly plowed ahead in implementing its green agenda. The bloc’s €800 billion pandemic-recovery fund requires countries to allocate at least 37% of the spending to green measures and can be used until the end of 2026. Last year, the bloc enacted a first-of-its-kind plan to tax certain imports based on their greenhouse-gas emissions and a ban starting in 2035 on the sale of new diesel and gasoline cars.

On Tuesday, the European Commission recommended the bloc set a target to reduce net greenhouse-gas emissions by 90% by 2040 compared with 1990 levels.

Wave after wave of farmer protests, however, have forced Brussels to trim some of its agenda.

The commission said Tuesday that it was withdrawing a proposed law aimed at sharply curbing the use of pesticides in farming after it was rejected by the European Parliament last year. The proposal “has become a symbol of polarization,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.

Last week, the commission agreed to delay the full implementation of a new rule requiring farmers to set aside at least 4% of their land for nonproductive purposes to continue to receive the bloc’s subsidies—a provision aimed at boosting biodiversity and soil quality.

The concession on farmland wasn’t enough to stop hundreds of farmers from converging outside the European Parliament in Brussels last week as EU leaders gathered for a summit nearby. The group burned tires and pulled down a statue near the parliament building, saying they were frustrated with increased regulation from Brussels and a decline in their income.

In Germany, farmer protests forced the government to announce it would stagger planned cuts to diesel-fuel subsidies.

In France, Macron’s government has scrapped plans to partly raise the reduced tax rate it applies to diesel used in agriculture. The reduced rate costs €1.7 billion a year.

Macron has bent to protest over fuel taxes before. He decided to freeze a tax on the carbon content of various fuels to quell the 2018 yellow-vest movement. The tax was supposed to rise from €44.6 per ton of carbon dioxide to €86.20 in 2022 and then €100 in 2030.

The decision cost the French government €3.9 billion in 2018, rising to €15.4 billion in 2022. https://archive.li/DAT8b
