Taiwan's Ma Ying-jeoh Signals Further Relations with China
Published on Aug 16, 2012 by NTDTV
After signing a long-awaited investment pact with China, Taiwan's government is signaling further moves to deepen cross-straits relations.
Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeoh this week said the two sides should consider setting up reciprocal representative offices. Taiwan currently has one tourism office in Beijing.
The issue was brought up last week during official talks between Taiwanese and mainland representatives, according to Taiwanese media. Ma Ying-jeoh said on Tuesday the issue should be considered, given the level of cross-strait trade. It stands at 160 billion US dollars.
US-based author and economics analyst Gordon Chang says the dependency Ma has on the Mainland may be misplaced.

Journeys in Europe - Part 2: Spain: Heading South | European Journal
Published on Aug 15, 2012 by deutschewelleenglish
In the summer, Europeans go on vacation. Schools are closed and many companies make do with a skeleton work force. The motorways, in contrast, are busier than ever, with people trying to get to the seashore as fast as possible. Nothing stops European drivers - neither overfilled service areas, nor high gasoline prices and tolls. That's certainly true on the E15, the European route that runs more than 3600 kilometers from Scotland through England and France, directly to Spain. Traffic on the last segment of the route, from Valencia to Gibraltar, is especially heavy. Millions of Moroccans are on their way to visit their families in northern Africa.
