3. I – The UK 3 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain) is a sovereign statelocated off the northwestern coast of continental Europe. It is an island nation, Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK with a land border with another sovereign state, sharing it with the Republic of Ireland.[10][11] Apart from this land border, the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, theNorth Sea, the English Channel, and the Irish Sea.
5. 5 The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and unitary state. It is a countryconsisting of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.It is governed by aparliamentary system with its seat of government in the capital city of London. There are three devolved national administrations of varying powersin Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh, the capitals of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland respectively. The UK has three Crown Dependencies and fourteen overseas territories that are not constitutionally part of the UK. These territories are remnants of the British Empire, which at its height in 1922 encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface, the largest empire in history. As a result, British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former colonies.
6. II- The UK economy and trade 6 The UK is a developed country, with the world's fifth largest economy by nominal GDP and the sixth largest by purchasing power parity. It was the world's first industrialised country and the world's foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries, but the economic and social cost of two world wars and the decline of its empire in the latter half of the 20th century diminished its leading role in global affairs. The UK nevertheless remains a great power with leading economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence. It is a recognised nuclear weapons state while its military expenditure ranks third or fourth in the world, depending on the method of calculation.It is a Member State of the European Union, a permanent member of theUnited Nations Security Council, and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, G8, G20, NATO, OECD, the Council of Europe and the World Trade Organization.

23. Why A customs union has trade creation and trade diversion effects for The UK..?? 23 Trade creation involves a shift in people’s spending from a higher-cost domestic source to a lower-cost partner-source within the EU, as a result of the abolition of tariffs. UK consumers may switch spending on car insurance away from a higher-priced UK supplier towards a German insurance company that has decided to operate in the UK market. In principle, trade creation stimulates an increase in intra-EU trade and ought to lead to a more efficient allocation of scarce resources thereby leading to gains in consumer and producer welfare. Trade diversion happens when there is a shift in domestic consumer spending away from a lower-cost world source to a higher cost partner source country from within the EU - as a result of the elimination of tariffs on imports from the partner. The common external tariff on many products entering Europe makes imports more expensive leading to higher costs for producers and rising prices for consumers if previously they had access to a cheaper supply from a non-EU country. The effect is a reduction in consumer and producer welfare.

30. www.hurriyet.com 30 January 2011Turkey leads Europe in cement production Hurriyet January, 2011 Turkey’s cement producers have surpassed their European peers in terms of output and turnover, according to Turkey’s Cement Manufacturers' Association (TCMA). The increase in production also lifted Turkey up to 4th place in the world after China, India and the USA. “Turkish cement producers have reached a total turnover of EUR 4.5 billion, while exports exceeded EUR 1 billion, reaching over 90 countries,” said TCMA Board Chairman AdnanIgnebekcili adding that West African states are becoming a bigger market following the global financial crisis. Turkey’s century-old cement production sector has grown 15 percent to a capacity of 50 million tons in 2010. “The cement production sector has two major advantages: a strong start to the 21st century and the skilled labor force that Turkey offers,” said Ignebekcili, setting the industry’s 2011 target at a growth rate of 6-8 percent, depending on the housing and infrastructure investments in Turkey.
