Majority of EU27 favour 'simple' approach on Britons’ residency
Only about 10 countries likely to use system similar to that planned by UK for EU nationals

A majority of the EU27 do not plan to force UK nationals living within their borders to apply for a special residency status after Brexit, in contrast to the UK government’s treatment of EU nationals.

OECD Report Reveals Greeks to be EU’s Hardest Workers

New data on working hours from the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) has blown away the stereotype of ‘lazy’ Greeks basking in the sun, sipping frappe.

An OECD study covering 36 countries reveals that Greeks work 2,035 hours per year, the most in Europe. At the same time, the study lays bare another stereotype, that of the hard-working Germans, as citizens of the Federal Republic work the least hours in Europe (1,363 per year).

An important factor regarding hours of work is the level of productivity. According to the study, Germans work the least hours but manage to be more productive than workers in other countries who work more hours.

The average German employee is found to be 27 percent more productive than their British counterparts who work 1,676 hours per year.

Figures expose Greeks’ poor waste disposal habits

The data suggests a lack of public awareness, or plain indifference, experts say, about the type of rubbish that must be disposed in blue dumpsters.

Greece’s recycling rate is 17 percent, below the European Union average of 39 percent.
