A day in the life of the EU

Coca-Cola Hellenic is moving from Athens. It's the biggest company by value on the Greek stock market - representing about a fifth of the exchange's capitalization.

Allister Heath rightly calls the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the EU "mind-boggling and demented". It was NATO and war weariness that kept the peace to start with before the EU happened along, and even if the EU vanished overnight it's impossible to imagine prosperous, educated, internet-savvy, well travelled Europeans obeying any call to arms.
