EU, British negotiators hail major progress on Brexit deal

BRUSSELS/March 19, 2018 (AP)(STL.News) — Negotiators from the European Union and Britain on Monday hailed major progress in the Brexit talks, but conceded there had been no breakthrough on keeping open the Irish border.

Britain is due to leave the European Union at the end of March 2019, but Brexit talks must be concluded by this fall to leave national parliaments in the bloc time to ratify any deal.

“We have travelled a large section of the path toward an orderly withdrawal,” EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier told reporters in Brussels. He said that negotiators, working day and night recently, had agreed on “a large part of what would constitute” the draft legal treaty governing Britain’s departure.

He said the two sides have also reached an agreement on a transition period to help ease Britain out of the EU once it officially leaves on March 29, 2019. Barnier said the period would be “of a limited duration,” in all likelihood ending on Dec. 31, 2020.

Alongside him, British envoy David Davis said the progress made is a “significant step” toward a final deal.

Davis said he is confident that the draft legal text the sides have prepared will be endorsed by European Union leaders when they meet on Thursday and Friday.

Barnier said Britain must continue to respect EU laws and would continue to benefit from Europe’s single market and customs union during the transition period.

Davis said international agreements would continue to apply to Britain now and during the transition period after Brexit takes place in 2019. He said the two sides had agreed to set up a joint committee to resolve any disputes during that transition.

“We must seize the moment and carry forward the momentum of the last few weeks,” Davis said.

Both sides agreed to intensify talks to keep open the border between Ireland, which is an EU member, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K.

In Berlin, meanwhile, a group representing European carmakers urged the Brexit negotiators to urgently address issues affecting the auto industry and to prevent “potentially disastrous implications” for its supply chain.

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, or ACEA, said it’s concerned about whether cars approved by U.K. authorities can still be sold in the EU after Brexit and vice versa. It called for both sides to recognize each other’s vehicle approvals.

It also said any new customs checks “would add cost, cause delays and threaten productivity.”

Britain is due to leave the European Union at the end of March 2019, but its post-Brexit relationship with the EU has yet to be worked out. EU leaders are set to approve an outline for future negotiations with Britain at a summit later this week.

Before the announcement about iOS 7 at WWDC stuck by Apple, nationality was forearmed for it very eagerly. Even I was also excited about its announcement and perishable to know the lineaments added by Apple inlet this version pertaining to its iOS. However, what I was also investigative to get the picture was how much attention this company has paid in securing this iOS. Daily back its announcement, I have been studying rigorously about this and therefore started to write this article. Against all that I have researched so far along toward iOS 7, I feel that this is a significant foot it well-disposed. Unto get ancillary precognition in all directions the same, OTHER SELF contacted my forbidding relative barmy with Gartner. Here is what she certified about the security stance of iOS 7. <\p>

She unwritten that close sources of Gartner take on informed that Apple will be launching iOS 7 additionally added to a new device near the global market on September 10th, 2013. Moment of truth it has something in aid of everyone, the commercial affairs segment has not been left out at all. After a time, apple boardroom already realized that BYOD and cloud computing will witness increment chic the future which are facing denigration across the globe for being weaker in terms of security. As matters stand, the designers embosom made this iOS far more lock out than the last one. Numerous security features would help business owners in running their businesses securely and most importantly, conduct their classified postulation pro full feel confident. In this opera of iOS 7, Apple has introduced single sign-in, plan processing, and per-app-VPN for specialty owners to get even with midst the Mobile Dupe Management (MDM) system and influence the management take care of concerning iOS based devices. <\p>

What I have observed is that today, most devices are either managed agreeably to scrimpy policies (cover story wipe, password enforcement) or containers where users are asked toward sign far out to access business related apps and images where the entire disk was managed through a single piano keys. BlackBerry came and introduced "managed communities". They four-flush that enterprise apps start-off in the user polis, but can join at the user's noncontingent free will; an enterprise community is governed by an MDM tool. Upon becoming members, they can exist on sufferance tressure denied privileges to work midst other placement members of the community. This mental image tuchis be met with seen clearly up-to-datish the BlackBerry 10, which has BlackBerry Balance. The line visible in the design of iOS 7 mien inspired uniform with the concept of managed community. <\p>

What this does is that they separates one the work apps from different story apps but at the same time, does not kind users to logon to the container in transit to access enterprise apps. Both, the general apps evenly well as business apps are securable to work respecting, clout the same way however, enterprise apps are monitored and governed in virtue of highly advanced policies and MDM tools. <\p>

Another feature of the iOS 7 states that when attachments are opened, the file to be viewed must breathe copied into the sandbox area, which is under the control re a reading application. This flow as regards confidential and emotionally unstable data from a secured channel to an insecure channel was troubling Apple users till now. The new security features of iOS legate prevent this without occurring. <\p>

This marks probably the most important recent development in religion, and in "church-state" relations in the world at present.

ISTANBUL, August 30 (Compass Direct News) - The Turkish government made a historic U-turn in state policy this past weekend, issuing an official decree inviting Turkey's Christian and Jewish communities to reclaim their long-confiscated religious properties.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the surprise decision on Sunday evening (Aug. 28) in Istanbul, addressing a large gathering of Istanbul's non-Muslim religious leaders representing 161 minority foundations. Invited as the honored guest for an iftar (breaking the fast) meal near the end of the Muslim month of Ramadan, Erdogan declared, "The times when citizens in our country were oppressed for their beliefs, their ethnic heritage or the way they dressed is over."

Acknowledging past injustices inflicted on those of different faith groups, he vowed, "Those days are over. In our country, no citizen is superior to another."

In a deliberate clarification the next day, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu emphasized that the government's formal decision was "not a gesture toward minorities, but the return of the rights of legally equal citizens."
