Europa
Europa (sometimes capitalised EUROPA) is the
official web portal of the European Union (EU). It is intended to improve the
public’s interaction with EU institutions by quickly directing website visitors
to the services or information they are seeking. Europa links to all EU agencies
and institutions in addition to press releases and audiovisual content from
press conferences. Europa is also an umbrella over the EU sites in the sense
that all agencies and institutions have got their respective name, (or initials)
in addition to the subdomain.europa.eu as standard URL. For example, the address
of the Institute for Security Studies is iss.europa.eu.

European Business Register
The European Business Register (EBR) is a network
of trade registers kept by the registration authorities in most of the European
countries. The EBR is part of the fully integrated approach of the European
Commission in the legislation designed to achieve regulations to promote
transparent financial markets and to facilitate free movement of companies. The
EBR has served as a starting point of the Business Register Interoperability
Throughout Europe (BRITE) project which aims to develop an interoperability
model for Business Registers to interact across the European Union. The EBR
makes it possible to obtain comparable, official company information from the
countries connected to the network. The EBR is at the moment composed of 21
partners and delivers company information from 15 European countries.

The Financial Times (FT) is a British international
business newspaper. It is a morning daily newspaper published in the Borough of
Southwark, London and printed at 22 sites. Its primary rival is New York
City-based The Wall Street Journal.
Founded in 1888 by James Sheridan and his brother, the Financial Times competed
with four other finance-oriented newspapers, in 1945 absorbing the last, the
Financial News (founded in 1884). The FT specialises in business and financial
news. Printed as a broadsheet on light salmon paper, the FT is the only paper in
the UK providing full daily reports on the London Stock Exchange and world

Economy of Europe :
|
|
The economy of Europe comprises more than 831.4
million people in 48 different states. Like other continents, the wealth of
Europe's states varies, although the poorest are well above the poorest states
of other continents (except Australia) in terms of GDP and living standards. The
difference in wealth across Europe can be seen in a rough East-West divide.
Whilst Western European states all have high GDPs and living standards, many of
Eastern Europe's economies are still rising from the collapse of the communist
Soviet Union and former Yugoslavia. Throughout this article "Europe" and
derivatives of the word are taken to include selected states whose territory is
only partly in Europe – such as Turkey and the Russian federation – and states
that are geographically in Asia, bordering Europe – such as Azerbaijan and
Cyprus.
Europe was the first continent to industrialize – led by the United Kingdom in
the 18th century – and as a result, it has become one of the richest continents
in the world today. Europe's largest national economy is that of Germany, which
ranks fourth globally in nominal GDP, and fifth in purchasing power parity (PPP)
GDP; followed by France, which ranks fifth globally in nominal GDP and sixth in
PPP GDP; the United Kingdom, ranking sixth globally in nominal GDP, followed by
Italy. The end of World War II has since brought European countries closer
together, culminating in the formation of the European Union (EU) and in 1999,
the introduction of a unified currency – the euro. If the European Union was
taken as a single country, today it would be the world's largest economy – see
List of countries by GDP. Europe is the world's richest region as measured by
assets under management with over $32.7 trillion compared to North America's
$27.1 trillion.
