Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: On 3 and 4 June the Italian Presidency of the EU proposes to call an extraordinary Agriculture Council meeting.
If the partial lifting of the ban on British beef still does not receive a qualified majority, but receives a simple majority, then the final decision on the issue will be left to the European Commission. Since it was the Commission that proposed the lifting of the ban in the first place, it is likely that they will stick to this line next month. Why then all the melodramatics from the Euro-sceptics?
