By Sergio Goncalves LISBON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Rebuilding European industry and making it less reliant on China and other nations should be a priority after the coronavirus pandemic but the EU should avoid protectionist policies, Portugal's prime minister said on Monday. The pandemic has exposed how dependent the European Union has become on China and other countries for essential goods and [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hà giang] this makes supply chains more vulnerable to the risk of disruption, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html kynghidongduong.vn] Antonio Costa said. "Europe cannot be totally dependent on essential goods produced outside," Costa said during an event to outline the main priorities of Portugal's six-month EU presidency, which starts on Jan. 1. "This is something the COVID-19 crisis has clearly turned into a priority." But Costa also warned against a "protectionist vision of Europe or a rupture of global trade" and said it was not a question of creating a few big dominant firms but of devising a "more agile competition policy". Part of the strategy should be to develop networks of different firms working on a European scale, he said, adding that the EU could only benefit from decentralising innovation and production chains. A new European Central Bank report on Monday showed that euro zone firms are increasingly vulnerable amid a [http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/sitesearch.do?querystring=pandemic-induced pandemic-induced] recession, though public support, including cheap ECB cash, have so far limited the damage.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) - The European Court of Human Rights is requiring a prompt response from 33 countries to an ambitious climate change case brought by six young Portuguese, a move that activists said gave heart to their cause. The court on Monday ordered the European countries to respond to the complaint and [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hà giang] granted it priority status because of the "importance and urgency of the issues raised." The two young Portuguese adults and four children filed their claim last September at the Strasbourg, France-based court. They want the court to hold the countries accountable for their allegedly inadequate efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The group is supported by the Global Legal Action Network, a international nonprofit organization that challenges human rights violations, and a team of five London lawyers. The countries named in the complaint include the 27 member nations of the European Union plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Russia, Turkey and [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html kynghidongduong.vn] Ukraine. The court´s decision to demand a swift response from the defendant countries is "highly significant," said Global Legal Action Network director Gearóid Ó Cuinn, because "only a tiny minority of cases" merit such treatment. The court will attempt to broker an amicable agreement in the case before it proceeds to [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/litigation?s=ts litigation]. If the activists win their case, the countries would be legally bound to cut emissions in line with the requirements of the 2015 Paris climate accord. They would also have to address their role in overseas emissions, including by their multinational companies. ___ Follow all AP coverage of climate change issues at website

Lisbon has seen a marked shift in recent years towards a rental market. As a result of the recent economic crisis in the country and the resulting new policies aiming for higher solvency and the reduction of banks overall debt, the number of households has declined. Higher interest rates, lower LTV ratios and the need for [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] professional mobility are turning Portuguese buyers towards the private rental sector.

CEO Of Angolan Energy Giant Says Will Speed Up Asset Sales Reform...

By Sergio Goncalves and Noah Browning LISBON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Angola's state oil giant Sonangol will next year accelerate reforms and efforts to raise revenue after the pandemic drained investor [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html kynghidongduong.vn] interest in an asset sale that has so far netted only around $60 million, its CEO told Reuters in a rare interview. Sonangol is the economic engine for Africa's number two oil exporter, as the company and the country strive to move on from decades of alleged corruption under Jose Eduardo dos Santos - president until 2017 - whose daughter once headed Sonangol. In a rare interview with international media, CEO Sebastião Gaspar Martins said the global economic slowdown triggered by COVID-19 had made investors "more conservative". But the company's efforts would gather speed next year, he said, and [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hà giang] it has prepared formal plans to shed 39 of the 56 assets it planned to sell. He said sales had so far raised around $60 million without giving more detail. Buoyed by high oil prices in the last decade, Sonangol piled up assets all over the world, ranging from hotels and bank stakes to a 17th-century Portuguese convent, leading the country's oil minister to call it an octopus that needed to be tamed. "Sonangol's new strategic positioning consists of focusing mainly on core business, ensuring the financing of the investment programme and making the company more agile, competitive and profitable," Martins said in emailed responses to questions from Reuters. STAY IN GALP, DIVEST MILLENIUM BCP ASSETS? Sonangol is selling a building it owns on one of Lisbon's main boulevards, Martins added, as well as a hotel and convention centre in the Angolan capital Luanda. It is also seeking to divest stakes in the state oil companies of Ivory Coast, Sao Tome e Principe and Cape Verde. Martins said Sonangol "definitely intends to maintain" its indirect stake in Portuguese energy company Galp and hoped to regain control of a stake it jointly held with the late husband of former Sonangol CEO and Africa's richest woman Isabel dos Santos, who is at the centre of a court battle in Amsterdam. Dos Santos denies any wrong-doing during her brief tenure at Sonangol in 2017, saying she rooted out corrupt practices and reined in spending. On its nearly 20% stake in Portugal's largest private bank, Millennium bcp, Sonangol is open to either [http://www.usatoday.com/search/shedding/ shedding] its interest or encouraging a merger with other banks. "If there is a good opportunity for divestment, we will evaluate it and make the recommendations that seem the most appropriate ... Sonangol is monitoring the possible bank consolidation movements in Portugal and, should any opportunity arise, the matter will be evaluated", Martins said. OUTPUT CUT, PRODUCTION DECLINE Angola had huge debts to China and other international creditors even before COVID-19 forced a long pause in Angolan oil drilling this year. Output from the country's mostly offshore and deep oil wells is set to decline rapidly and to sink to nearly zero by 2040, threatening to scare off energy majors as they seek to cut costs and pivot to cleaner energy. But Martins said the resumption of exploration and drilling by some energy majors "points to a significantly positive impact in managing the decline in production". "The increase in production will be a fundamental factor in reducing operating and production costs." Prices would recover in 2021 with the lifting of lockdowns and and the advent of COVID-19 vaccinations, Martins said. Sonangol, he added, considered itself a "potentially injured party" in relation to alleged corruption that occurred in the Dos Santos era and is cooperating with the country's public prosecutor to investigate any possible crimes.
