where britain and the netherlands kicked off the european elections by casting their ballots on thursday friday it's the turn for ireland and the czech republic with the troop with the remaining 24 member states following suit this weekend so what's at stake for e.u. economies in this election here's a primer from the business magazine program made in germany the european union it's the world's largest single market with the 2nd largest g.d.p. just behind the united states and ahead of china and it has a common currency the euro but not all members benefit in the same way germany earns 3 times as much from exports within the e.u. as italy does the bloc doesn't have customs checks or tariffs within its borders everyone can live work and offer goods and services in any other country even so quality of life still varies dramatically with average hourly wages ranging from 4 year olds to 43 and solidarity the british have had enough of migration from

eastern europe while hungary the czech republic and poland are refusing to take in middle eastern and african migrants. the e.u. could do a better job of promoting itself for many it seems inaccessible technocratic and under the sway of lobbyists there has been some improvement rules on how crooked cucumbers must be are long gone and the e.u.'s administration is only about the size of a city like munich even so brussels still gets the blame for everything that goes wrong that's another reason why britain wants to leave but the european bureaucracy still has its work cut out for it as it aims for a common finance policy and more wage parity. with a centrally planned economy cuba is used to occasional shortages however a recent rationing drive by the government suggests things are getting worse last month president miguel diaz can no blame the tightening of u.s.

. u.s. sanctions here are not new but washington has tightened them recently in part due to the island's close ties with venezuela. while an easing of sanctions might relieve the shortages cuba has deeper economic problems growth stands at one percent. there are fears that the longer term economic malaise could hit the country's vital tourism sector hitting those reliant on the millions who visit every year. while the wait for chicken ends of eventually for those curing the wait for meaning for the economic reforms in cuba goes on. meat consumption is a contributor to climate change that's why food scientists are experimenting with alternative meats and even lab grown substitutes a few solutions were recently on show at the london food tech week take a look. lifestyle accounts for nearly 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions according to the u.n.
