Case summary: This case investigates the conceivable positive monetary results of an free trade contract among the Country U and the Union E. Such a contract could diminish current levy levels on the two sides of the State A for the Country U and the nations that make up the EU. Moreover, numerous nontariff obstructions could be decreased or disposed of because of the facilitated free trade bargain. The agreement, known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership or TTIP at first got help from the two democrats and republicans and was viewed as a method for extending effectively entrenched ties between the Union E and the Country U.

- By March 2000, BMW signalled that it was about to act. Amid uproar from unions, local communities, and the press, the UK secretary of state for trade and industry engaged in frantic shuttle diplomacy between London, Longbridge, and Munich to try and stave off BMW’s imminent withdrawal. However, despite offers of £150m (a230m) in government subsidies, BMW eventually announced it was going to pull the plug on Rover, to the despair of workers and the embarrassment of the powerless government. Whilst finding a buyer for the ailing car plant was never going to be easy, the Rover business was eventually sold in May 2000 to the ‘Phoenix Four’ consortium headed by former Rover CEO John Towers. To sweeten the deal and hasten their own exit, BMW agreed to sell Longbridge to the Phoenix group for a nominal ten pounds (a15), and even provided the group with a massive ‘dowry’ in the form of cash, assets, debt relief, and loans, said to amount to some £1bn. Towers and his colleagues were hailed as…arrow_forward2.

- In 2015, Greece's debt had reached 323 billion euro—the highest in modern history. With debt amounting to 177 percent of its GDP, Greece's rating was downgraded. Not only Greece but other highly indebted countries such as Ireland, Portugal, and Spain were under scrutiny. Since then, the EU's economy has gone into crisis. The EU and IMF agreed to bailout packages for Greece, Ireland, and Portugal. In February 2011, euro zone finance ministers set up a permanent bailout fund, called the European Stability Mechanism. In mid-2011, talk abounds that Greece would be forced to be the first country leaving the euro zone although this speculation was denied. The EU's private sector shrank for the first time in two years; the euro continued to fall against the U.S. dollar; and the euro was seen as a "burning building with no exits". Some economists and politicians have forecast the demise of the euro. The Greek crisis has exposed fault lines in the single currency project since its introduction…arrow_forwardb.What are the agenda behind foreign direct investment? g.Define absolute advantage for Russia and Argentina? note :sir kindly give me sort answer.arrow_forwardRecently USA announced an embargo on purchase of oil from Iran.
