By Henning Gloystein SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Oil prices rose to five-month highs on Monday, driven up by OPEC's ongoing supply cuts, U.S. sanctions against Iran and Venezuela and healthy U.S. jobs data. International benchmark Brent futures were at $70.69 per barrel at 0047 GMT on Monday, up 35 cents, or 0.5 percent from their last close. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude were up 35 cents, or 0.6 percent, at $63.43 per barrel. Brent and WTI both hit their highest levels since November last year at $70.76 and $63.48 per barrel, respectively, early on Monday. "Brent prices increased more than 30 percent year-to-date as OPEC+ continued to cut supply for 4 months in a row and optimism over U.S.-China trade talks helped to buoy the demand outlook," U.S. bank J.P.Morgan said in a note released over the weekend.

EUGeneral Data Protection Regulation Discussion BroadcastThe Assistant European Data Protection Supervisor and the Rapporteur for the Data Protection Regulation have discussed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They noted that the timeline that had been set for the end of 2015 was nearing, but there was optimism that there could be political agreement in this time. There are still some core compromises needed: for example, in relation to the requirement for a mandatory data protection officer, the question of consent and other grounds for processing data (in particular legitimate interests for processing), but the position is moving toward a consensus. All parties foresee that the implementation period will be two years once the regulation is finalised.EU Agency for Fundamental Rights Report on SurveillanceThe EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has published its report focussing on the legal framework governing surveillance by intelligence powers.

In the latest in our series of essays on the legacy imbalance, AUSTEN MORGAN says that to concentrate on the handful of unlawful state killings, which the ‘legacy industry’ does, is disproportionate, inhumane and perverse (see bottom of article for links to other essays): The Northern Ireland Office’s (NIO) draft Northern Ireland (Stormont House Agreement) bill – out to consultation until 10 September 2018 – is undeserving of support from anyone committed to the rule of law. I endorse the big idea, articulated by Colonel Tim Collins, launching the News Letter’s Stop The Legacy Scandal series (August 20), that former soldiers and police officers should now — as the IRA did in 2000-14 — seek their own comfort letters by writing to the prime minister. It still needs repeating that: republicans are responsible for 60% of Troubles deaths, loyalists for 30%, and the state — soldiers and police — for the remaining 10%. Further, … [Read more...] about Legacy Scandal: ‘Sinn Fein wants to push on from On The Runs to wherever it can in its Brit bashing,’ says Austen Morgan
