Luxury tourism is becoming increasingly valuable for the Italian economy. In 2025 five-star and five-star luxury hotels generated 10.4 billion euro in direct tourist spending, equal to 17.3 per cent of the entire turnover of the hotel sector, estimated at just over 60 billion euro.

But many patients are only able to access innovative treatments as part of a clinical trial, and Europe’s share of global commercial trials has almost halved in a decade. Access to screening and advanced diagnostics also varies widely across…

“There’s an obvious democratic deficit in it, but pragmatically, all [Norwegian] Parliaments since 1995 have said this is a reasonable way of doing it,” Støre said. “I don’t see Britain do that. I don’t see Canada do that.” The U.K. and Canada are both in the process of seeking closer ties to the bloc of 27 countries, which the U.K. voted to leave a decade ago. Burnham has said in the long term he wants to see the U.K. rejoin — and is aiming to scope ideas for better trade terms later this month at a summit with EU leaders.…
