Macron Sets Out His Vision for the EU

World Business Report

Available for over a year

France's president Emmanuel Macron has laid out his vision for the future of the EU. We ask Delphine O, member of parliament for Mr Macron's La Republique En Marche party, how much support the president's proposals are likely to have across Europe. Also in the programme, we hear why Europe's highest court has ruled that the Polish government has broken EU law by allowing logging in one of the continent's last primeval forests. As China and Russia face new claims over digital spying from the west, we ask cyber security expert Andy Prow of Red Shield whether we can ever be truly confident that what we put in cyberspace is safe. We have a report from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia over a dispute between the country and Greece over its use of the name Macedonia. Plus we find out about the prospects for a new pink chocolate made from so-called "ruby" cocoa beans, from Danny Andrea, retail director for the London-based luxury chocolate firm, Artisan du Chocolat.
