The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

Currently, if trade talks are progressing more slowly the UK and EU could agree - by July - to extend the post-Brexit »ï°¢»ê¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç transition period for up to two years.
But on Friday, the Prime ÀÌ»ñÁü¼¾ÅÍÈıâ Minister intends to expunge this clause from his Withdrawal Agreement Bill, and instead explicitly rule out any extension.
The committee's members are drawn ºÏ°¡Áµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç from economic and social interest groups in Europe to represent the views of civil society to European institutions, including the European Parliament.
In a statement to the BBC, the EESC emphasised ¼¿ï½Ã¸³´ëÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç the independence of its members.
"The EESC does not engage in image building activities for governments and is independent from any government. [EESC Members] are to be completely independent in the performance of their duties, in the Union's general interest."
It requires "integrity, openness, diligence, honesty, accountability and respect for the ·¹Çø®Ä« ·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è ·¹Çø®Ä«¹Ì·¯±Þ=·¹Çø®Ä« ·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è ·¹Çø®Ä«¹Ì·¯±Þ Committee's reputation" and avoidance of conflicts of interest. Members do not have to sign the new code of conduct until October next year though.

Six of the sites use misleading names, like "Times of Los Angeles" instead of the better known "Los Angeles Times".
The websites all copy syndicated content from news organisations to make ±ºÆ÷Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç them look like real news sites. They then plant anti-Pakistan stories and opinion pieces from employees of NGOs linked to the network to serve India's lobbying interests, researchers found.
The website hasn't been updated since 19 November, a few È«Äá¸íÇ°¹Ì·¯±Þ È«Äá¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä« È«Äá¸íÇ°À̹ÌÅ×À̼Ç=È«Äá¸íÇ°¹Ì·¯±Þ È«Äá¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä« È«Äá¸íÇ°À̹ÌÅ×ÀÌ¼Ç days after EU Disinfo Lab first announced its discovery of the network.
The BBC tried calling the phone number on the Times of Geneva's website, »ï¾çµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç but it has been cut off. Its YouTube channel has been disabled and its Twitter account suspended.

Madi Sharma, who also goes ¸íÇ°ÈĵåƼ=¸íÇ°ÈĵåƼ by the name Madhu Sharma, is a British member of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC). She was nominated for the committee by the UK Government and has been an EESC Member since 2002.
Her book Madi - No Excuses has its own website which asks: "Have Àھ絿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç you heard about the phenomena known as the 'Madi Effect'?"
Ankit Srivastava of the New Delhi Times is also vice chairman of the Srivastava Group - and he is likely to have heard of the 'Madi Effect' because he has written her a glowing testimonial on her website.
"You know all of us at Srivastava Group and New Delhi Times °³²Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç appreciate you and all your work in the promotion of entrepreneurship, human rights and towards empowering others from all nations," he writes, adding: "Of course we particularly appreciate your support toward India."
This support for India and involvement in such a network of websites could be perceived as a conflict of interest for an EESC member like Madi Sharma. She did not respond to the BBC's attempts to contact her.

Animosity between Pakistan and India has resulted in three all-out wars, and numerous skirmishes across the border, the most recent of which took place in February this year.
Ten years ago, a now-dormant Pakistani blog, Cafe Pyala, unearthed a network of publications that were hawkishly pro-Pakistan and virulently anti-India.
It found a similar modus operandi, where the news outlets "reference and °Ç´ëÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç promote each other constantly", with misleading names such as "Times of Bombay, The Delhi Times, and Dacca Times".
But researchers believe the network's purpose is ³²¼º·¹Çø®Ä«=³²¼º·¹Çø®Ä« to disseminate propaganda against India's neighbour and rival Pakistan. Both countries have long sought to control the narrative against each other.

He awoke when she went to bed about Æ÷õÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç two-and-a-half hours later and asked her if she wanted a sleeping pill as well, it added.
Ms Winberg reportedly said she woke up between 05:30 µµºÀµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç and 06:00, when the police knocked on the door of their flat. She then saw her husband's body.
Mr Le Mesurier was widely considered a founder of the White ¿µµîÆ÷ÀÌ»ç¾÷ü Helmets.

Through shared phone numbers and an office address in Brussels, as well as ¸¸¾È±¸¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç shared web servers, EU Disinfo Lab found Srivastava Group È«Äá¼îÇÎ=È«Äá¼îÇÎ to be at the heart of the network.
Srivastava Group is an Indian holding company ¾È¾çÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç which declares on its website that it has "interests in Natural resources, Clean energy, Airspace, Consulting services, Healthcare, Print Media and Publishing".
Madi Sharma has been identified ¼°´ëÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç by EU Disinfo Lab as central to the disinformation network. She has written for EP Today and the New Delhi Times as their "EU correspondent".
It was Madi Sharma who sent MEPs invitations for the controversial trip ·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º°¡¹æ=·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼º°¡¹æ to Kashmir. She signed the invitation letters as the Founder and CEO of the Women's Economic and Social Think Tank (WESTT) and ¿À»ê¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç said the trip would be sponsored by the IINS.
