Tony Blair speaking today in Strasbourg said that the energy policy is of a major importance to the EU. He also spoke of proper controls on illegal immigration but that controlled migration could have economic benefits. On recent terror threats he spoke of cooperation between nations to deal with radicalisation.
No mention was made however of the crisis now gripping Europe, that of the bird-flu which has today also been confirmed in Croatia. A further case has also been confirmed in the UK at a premises in Essex, east of London. The disease has not jumped the species barrier, but this has not calmed the hysteria surrounding the health ‘threat’ it may pose to consumers of eggs and poultry. [BBC]
