From Voice Of Europe, Arabic surpasses Finnish as Sweden's second most common language.  (The article refers to Swenska Dagbladet, which appears to be behind a pay wall.)

From Farm Ireland, the European Commission proposes to cut direct farm subsidies.  (Farm Ireland is part of the Irish site Independent, not to be confused with the British site Independent.)
