Kwarteng says he got carried away as chancellor
LONDON — Former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng says he "got carried away" when he announced a huge package of ill-fated tax cuts alongside former Prime Minister Liz Truss.Kwarteng told the Financial Times his biggest regret was being "too impatient" with the mini-budget. The plans sparked turmoil in the markets, eventually leading to Kwarteng and Truss's resignation."There was a brief moment and the people in charge, myself included, blew it," he said.Reflecting on his time in office, the MP for Spelthorne said there had been "no tactical subtlety whatsoever"."People got carried away, myself included," he said.As chancellor, Kwarteng set out a package to abolish the top rate of income tax for the highest earners, ax the cap on bankers'...

EU-Med countries seek more flexible gas price cap mechanism
MADRID — Leaders of several Mediterranean and Southern European countries have called on Brussels to come up with a more flexible gas price cap mechanism than the recently proposed cap of €220 per megawatt hour.The call made at an EU-Med9 summit in Spain further highlighted divisions within the EU over the proposed cap. The bloc initially proposed a cap of €275 last month but this was met with considerable opposition. Several EU members want no price cap at all.Spanish Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the EU-Med leaders agreed to work together so that the Dec. 13 meeting between the EU’s energy ministers could reach “a gas price cap that is more dynamic and effective.”We finished a very productive summit from which we emerged with a common agenda for the...

Sparks fly as Kosovo police increase presence in Serb-majority north
PRISTINA. BELGRADE — Increased police presence in ethnic Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo following several incidents in recent days has sparked further tensions between Belgrade and Pristina.The spike in hostilities was launched by Pristina’s call for snap elections in four Serb-dominated communes in the north. The Serbs in the north reject Pristina’s authority and Kosovo’s independence from Belgrade.The elections, scheduled for Dec. 18 and 25, were prompted by the abandonment of local posts by Serb minority representatives, in another sign of spurning the authority of Prime Minister Albin Kurti and his government.The mass departure in November — estimated to have involved more than 600 officials and police officers — was caused by the ongoing license plate row between...
