Arnold Schwarzenegger detained at German airport for undeclared luxury watch

Arnold Schwarzenegger was detained at a German airport for allegedly failing to declare a luxury watch he intended to auction for charity within the EU, triggering an investigation for alleged tax evasion. Despite encountering difficulties in paying the tax, the actor and climate change campaigner eventually resolved the issue. The custom-made watch, intended for auction at a fundraising dinner, was one of only 20 in existence and had a starting bid of €50,000.

Truckers' Protest Halts Ukraine Border Points

Polish truckers blocked three major border crossings with Ukraine in protest against what they perceive as unfair competition from Ukrainian businesses. They blame the liberalization of EU rules for a decline in their revenues and demand the reinstatement of entry permits for Ukrainian rivals. The truckers argue that Ukrainian competitors have lower costs, drive down prices, and take away their cargo. The protest has caused significant disruptions to cargo traffic, but the Polish government says it cannot meet the demands due to existing EU agreements.

"Miller High Life shipment destroyed due to 'Champagne of Beers' slogan controversy"

Belgian customs crushed over 2,000 cans of Miller High Life beer at the request of the Comité Champagne, which argued that the beer's "Champagne of Beers" slogan infringes on the protected designation of origin of the French sparkling wine. The consignment was intercepted in the Belgian port of Antwerp in February and was destined for Germany. Molson Coors Beverage Co., which owns the Miller High Life brand, does not currently export it to the EU. The buyer in Germany "was informed and did not contest the decision," the trade organization said in a statement.

Belgium destroys 2,000 cans of Miller High Life over 'Champagne of Beers' slogan.

Belgian customs crushed over 2,000 cans of Miller High Life beer at the request of the Comité Champagne, a trade body defending the interests of houses and growers of the north-eastern French sparkling wine. The trade body asked for the destruction of the shipment of cans on the grounds that the century-old motto used by the American brewery infringes the protected designation of origin "Champagne". The beer's owner, Molson Coors Beverage Co, said it "respects local restrictions" around the word champagne.

French Champagne Producers Upset Over Beer Being Called Champagne

Belgian customs crushed over 2,000 cans of Miller High Life beer at the request of the Comité Champagne, which claimed that the century-old slogan "The Champagne of Beers" infringes on the protected designation of origin "Champagne." The consignment was intercepted in the Belgian port of Antwerp in early February and was destined for Germany. The buyer in Germany "was informed and did not contest the decision," the trade organization said in a statement. The destruction of the cans was paid for by the Comité Champagne and was carried out "with the utmost respect for environmental concerns by ensuring that the entire batch, both contents and container, was recycled in an environmentally responsible manner."
