New EP

Today's Figaro has an interesting piece on what awaits the
next European Parliament.

1. A new budget for the EU, covering the years 2021-2027.
(The Parliament wants more than the Commission 
recommends).

2. A commercial deal with the United States. (France is opposed,
on Environmental grounds).

3. Measures to counter money laundering and tax avoidance.(Not
all countries have the same interests in the question).

4. E-piracy and on-line terrorism.

5. The environment, in particular how to finance sustainable investment.

They are also expecting to discuss new arrangements with the UK, once
Brexit is fully ratified.

Sounds, er, difficult...
