Provide feedback about this page. Land in northern Uganda is held under customary tenure.
The lack of official land ownership documents is one of the reasons why people fear losing their land. The government is currently issuing customary ownership certificates in parts of the region, but this is drawing mixed reactions. Promoting respect for democracy, rule of law and human rights, as well as international humanitarian law and the prevention of conflicts are at the core of the EU's foreign policy. The first phase of PRDP was implemented during the period , and the second will take place in In particular, it will aim to strengthen district capacity for surveying, support land dispute settlement mechanisms, and increase awareness of the current land laws.
Non conosce limiti la ricerca sulle potenziali alternative al petrolio per produrre energia e da Boston si fa strada l'ipotesi che si possa produrre energia dai vetri delle finestre di una casa. Alcuni ricercatori hanno effettuato una sperimentazione per mettere a punto e diffondere un sistema per generare energia solare impiegando vetri domestici in sostituzione delle celle fotovoltaiche al silicio.
Ci lavorano dal ma ora i tempi sono maturi: Si tratta di impiegare su scala minore una tecnica largamente usata in diverse centrali solari termodinamiche che sfruttano la forza del sole raccogliendola attraverso grandi specchi parabolici e trasformandola in calore. Il vetro ha la funzione di una grande lastra di fibra ottica che convoglia la luce verso l'esterno e la trasforma in energia mediante cellule fotovoltaiche disposte lungo la cornice. Quali paesi europei, tra gli Stati candidati e Stati possibili candidati, sono ad oggi in grado di garantire il rispetto dell'acquis comunitario in materia di energia, elemento indispensabile alla conclusione del processo di adesione?
Il prototipo di celle solari in parola rientra nella categoria delle celle solari organiche le quali impiegano composti del carbonio come strato attivo. Per quanto riguarda il quesito relativo a quali paesi europei — candidati e possibili candidati — siano ad oggi in grado di garantire il rispetto dell'acquis UE in materia di energia, elemento indispensabile alla conclusione del processo di adesione, solo la Croazia ha concluso in via provvisoria i negoziati sul capitolo energia. I negoziati con tutti gli altri paesi candidati e potenziali candidati non sono ancora iniziati sul capitolo energia Turchia o non hanno nemmeno avuto inizio tutti gli altri.
Research into potential alternatives to oil for producing energy knows no bounds, and work carried out in Boston is now pointing to the possibility of energy being produced from the glass in house windows. Researchers have carried out an experiment aimed at developing and marketing a system for generating solar energy using domestic glazing in place of silicon photovoltaic cells.
Work has being going on in this area since , but there has now been a breakthrough: This involves using, on a smaller scale, a technique that is widely employed in solar thermal power plants, which use large parabolic mirrors to concentrate sunlight and transform it into heat. The team has created a transparent paint using organic materials, which, when applied to glass surfaces, is able to collect sunlight.
The glass works like a large fibre-optic sheet, directing the light towards its edges, where it is converted into energy by photovoltaic cells installed around the frame. This means that any house window could soon become a source of electricity. The Commission is aware of the research activity indicated by the Honourable Member. The prototypic solar cell referred to belongs to the organic photovoltaic class of cells, meaning devices using a carbon-based compound as active layer. Negotiations on the energy chapter with Iceland have opened, but the Commission cannot indicate when they could be closed.
Negotiations with all other candidate countries and potential candidates have either not begun on the energy chapter Turkey or not opened at all all the others. En studie publicerad i Lancet McCann m. A study published in The Lancet in McCann et al.
The compromise ultimately reached in the trialogue negotiations was a special warning text on products containing these colours. Products containing these colours must currently be labelled: Several years have now passed and therefore I would like to ask the Commission the following:. Which studies or research projects have the Commission or the European Food Safety Authority carried out or initiated to increase our knowledge of the adverse effects of E, E, E, E, E and E in combination with E which were demonstrated by the study referred to above?
Which studies is the Commission aware of that develop further the serious suspicions highlighted by the study referred to above? If there are no studies that develop further the suspicions raised in the study by McCann et al. As the next step the Commission asked EFSA to assess these colours individually as a matter of priority.
A causal link between the individual colours and possible behavioural effects was not substantiated by any data. Due to this reason the Commission considers that the warning labelling is sufficient. Furthermore, the Commission has the indication from the food industry and the Member States that a substantial progress has been made with regard to the voluntary withdrawal of all six colours from food products. If so, is this compatible with the concept of a single market? In this question, the Honourable Member does not specify the services or products to which the query refers in particular.
In the absence of further details on the specific issue at hand, it can only be indicated that, in principle, the fact that a Member State excludes citizens from other Member States from the use of a given service cannot be considered compatible with internal market rules. According to the latest Eurostat data, unemployment in Greece is now running at It is also estimated that unemployment will rise even further in , creating a huge social problem. Furthermore, the prolonged recession is creating a wave of emigration of young scientists, which is impacting on growth and productivity.
This critical situation requires immediate drastic measures to be taken at the European level, since the issue of unemployment concerns not only Greece, but all Member States. In view of the above, will the Commission say:. What specific action does it intend to take and what measures has it implemented to give young people access to the labour market? Has it considered any unified European plan to match graduate specialisations and qualifications with demand in the European labour market? With regard to specific actions under the Commission's Youth Opportunities Initiative.
The EU Skills Panorama will help with the matching of supply and demand through updated forecasting of skills needs and information on jobs and occupations mismatches. The supply of basic goods and transport for medical treatment are difficult, especially during the winter months when transport connections are reduced.
Due to the economic crisis, high fuel prices and the economic problems faced by the ferry companies, together with low passenger traffic, there is now an obvious danger that the Greek islands will remain without ferry services, even in summer. What funding has it granted to Greece for ferry services and what data is available on its use and take-up rate?
In particular, it authorises Member States to impose public service obligations and to conclude public service contracts for regular services to, from and between islands. The decision regarding the extent of public service is the sole responsibility of the national authorities. It is the competence of those authorities to determine whether there is a real need for the public service, define its frequency, the type of vessels that should be deployed as well as to finance such service where necessary. The Commission actively promotes research into innovative ship technology as well as the provision and use of cleaner alternative fuels.
In this respect, it is to clarify that the Structural Funds cannot be used to give direct support to the operational cost of maritime transport, i.
According to the Institute for Consumer Protection, unjustified price increases occur frequently in the Greek islands. Given that high fuel prices are damaging vital sectors of the economy such as transport, agricultural development and fisheries, will the Commission say:. What measures has it taken to limit high fuel prices, which are undermining growth and productivity in the economy of the EU?
Does it intend to propose a fiscal policy for fuel that will set an upper limit on fuel taxes? Specifically with regard to Greece, is it aware of the very high price of petrol? What measures has it taken, or does it intend to take, to limit it? Above these minima, Member States can fix levels of taxation as they see fit, taking into account national policy considerations.
Excise duties and other taxes are only one part of the final price and price differences may also result from differences in other price elements, such as distribution costs or profit margins, between Member States and between different areas within a Member State. The Commission does not intend to propose introducing a maximum limit on excise duties on fuels as this would go beyond what is currently necessary to ensure the functioning of the internal market and would thus contradict the principle of proportionality.
Ruggero Franceschini, ha presentato la richiesta alla commissione di conciliazione del parlamento turco organismo parlamentare che sta ascoltando le richieste delle minoranze religiose e sociali in vista della riforma costituzionale ; inoltre l'arcivescovo ha ricordato che, sebbene la Chiesa cattolica non sia legalmente riconosciuta in Turchia, chiede lo stesso la restituzione dei beni sulla base dell'accordo del fra il Gran visir Said Halim Pasa e l'ambasciatore francese Maurice Bompard.
The Turkish Catholic Community, represented by the Archbishop of Izmir and president of the Turkish Conference of Bishops Monsignor Ruggero Franceschini, presented the request to the conciliation committee of the Turkish Parliament a parliamentary body that listens to the requests of religious and social minorities with a view to constitutional reform. The Archbishop also reminded the committee that, although the Catholic church is not legally recognised in Turkey, it was demanding the return of the assets based on the agreement between Grand Vizier Said Halim Pasha and French Ambassador Maurice Bompard.
Does the Commission not consider it appropriate to support the request from the Catholic community in Turkey to the Ankara Government based on the principle of respect for religious freedom by the Turkish Islamic Committee in its dealings with minorities? The Commission follows closely the issue of return of seized properties to foundations of non-Muslim communities. This was the fourth attempt of the Turkish authorities since to restore the property rights of non-Muslim communities. This legislation provides that non-Muslim community foundations can register in the Land Registry, under their names, immovable property entered in their declarations.
Interested parties will have to apply for the return of properties. The market value of foundation properties currently registered with third parties will be paid. This covers properties seized and sold to third parties, and which cannot be returned to the foundations. The Commission is also aware of the problems resulting from the lack of legal personality of non-Muslim communities.
This has implications at least for their property rights, their access to justice and their ability to raise funds. The consumer confidence index fell to historically low levels in Greece during the first quarter of , according to figures from the latest Nielsen Global Consumer survey. Consumer confidence in Greece was lower than ever in the first quarter of , with a second successive fall in the consumer confidence index to an all-time low of 37 points. Will the Commission say how it can boost growth in Greece and what action plan could be implemented?
The ultimate objectives of the economic adjustment programme of Greece is to correct the fiscal and external imbalances of the Greek economy which are necessary to restoring sustainable growth and jobs in a medium-term perspective. In a context of liquidity constraints and given the size of the required fiscal adjustment, the programme is supported by unprecedented financial assistance provided by the euro area Member States and the IMF. The programme includes a wide-range of growth-enhancing policies which aim at modernising the public sector, rendering product and labour markets more efficient and flexible, and creating a business environment that is friendly to investors.

Lomas, 32, lost the ability to move her body from the chest downwards when she fell from the horse she was riding during an outing in The strategy aims at facilitating the social and occupational integration of all persons with a disability, and ensuring that they can fully exercise their rights as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The strategy also included support of research on new technologies addressing both assistive technology and accessible mainstream solutions.
In particular, it includes the promotion of knowledge and innovation in assistive technology, and a study on the assistive technology market with a view to improve its functioning; the objective will be to make sure that the fruits of research reach their potential users. Funding of research relevant to persons with disabilities will happen through different instruments, including FP7 and its proposed successor, Horizon Furthermore, accessibility is the first of the strategy's eight focus areas: The European Accessibility Act is an action foreseen by the strategy; the European Commission is preparing a proposal for legally binding measures, aiming at creating more favourable conditions for the development of a well-functioning market in accessible mainstream goods and services.
This will facilitate the participation in society of persons with disabilities in their everyday life on an equal footing with the rest of the population. Vliegtaks miljoenenstrop voor Europese luchtvaartmaatschappijen. De topman van Lufthansa verwacht dat deze kosten de komende jaren verder oplopen en dat passagiers hiervoor zullen opdraaien. He expects that these costs will increase further over the coming years and that passengers will have to foot the bill. Does the Commission agree with the PVV that criticism by major airlines such as Lufthansa and KLM should be taken seriously and that this criticism is another confirmation of the failure of the flight tax?
If not, why not? Does the Commission agree with the PVV that the flight tax is a fatal blow to the European airline industry, which is already suffering economic difficulties? Does the Commission agree with the PVV that in view of the criticism from countries, consumers and airlines inside and outside Europe, there is no basis for the European flight tax and that scrapping it is unavoidable? Proposta dell'emittente televisiva Al Quds Educational. L'emittente palestinese Al Quds Educational Television, che ha collaborato con l'Unione europea per diversi programmi, vorrebbe creare un nuovo canale satellitare indipendente.
Inoltre, la proposta dell'emittente consiste concretamente nella trasmissione di programmi per bambini altamente educativi sui seguenti temi: Grazie alla connessione con la rete satellitare egiziana NILESAT, i programmi non saranno visibili solo nei territori palestinesi ma nell'intera regione araba, promuovendo ovunque cultura e benessere. Alla luce di quanto precede, sarebbe la Commissione interessata a dare un sostegno finanziario al progetto? Il sistema radiotelevisivo e i media non rappresentano un settore primario per l'UE nel quadro della ripartizione dei compiti tra i donatori nei territori palestinesi occupati e la Commissione non prevede di proporre finanziamenti UE per progetti in questo campo.
The Palestinian broadcaster Al Quds Educational Television, which has collaborated with the European Union on various programmes, plans to create a new independent satellite channel. Besides this, the services the television station actually provides consist of broadcasting highly educational programmes for children on the following topics: These are to be developed in conjunction with international organisations and NGOs such as Unicef and Save the Children.
In view of the above, would the Commission consider it worthwhile providing financial support for the project?
There is however the possibility of submitting project proposals under the different calls for thematic instruments and the specific Euromed Audiovisual III programme for the Neighbourhood South countries. Is this step being taken because of the political factors relating to the existence of this installation and its possible expansion, or is the visit intended to be a continuation of the stress tests carried out by the Nuclear Safety Regulators Group?
Whichever of the above is the case, on what legal basis or other mandate does the Commission intend to base these visits? Does the Commission have specific authorisation for these visits, and if so, of what type? Does the Commission agree with the view that, if no such authorisation has been granted, this would necessarily be an arbitrary and unauthorised step? The Commission will present to the European Council a communication which will take into account these additional elements as well as the peer review report. The details of this action plan, including the choice of nuclear sites for additional visits have not yet been decided upon.
It should also be noted that stress tests are carried out on a voluntary basis by all EU Member States with nuclear facilities, Switzerland and Ukraine. All EU Member States agreed to subject nuclear power plants in their territory to stress tests, based on the specifications and methodology agreed between all EU nuclear safety regulators and the Commission. The methodology requires peer teams to access documents and facilities as needed. The report adds that more research is needed to examine the serious concerns raised by patient groups regarding the safety of all currently available forms of low energy lighting.
A paper is now about to be published in a peer-reviewed journal refuting a part of the evidence on which the committee relied when claiming that energy saving bulbs are safe to use. It believes that the high level of blue light and the spectral distribution of low energy lights may form the main cause of many of the problems.
This would make it impossible for any of the current forms of low-energy lighting to meet the health requirements of those affected. There are other potential causes, such as high-frequency flicker and radio frequency emissions, that have not as yet been fully researched.
A double envelope only delays the inevitable effects. LED lighting, although an improvement on CFLs, has both an erratic spectral pattern and a high level of blue light.
LEDs also have various issues related to radio frequency emission and high frequency flicker. What representations has the UK Government made to the Commission on obtaining such an exemption? SCENIHR recognise that the light spectrum can differ from one lamp model to the other, and recommend that sufficient information is provided to healthcare professionals and their patients to allow them to choose their lighting solutions optimally. There has been no suggestion from the UK Government for an exemption for those with specific medical needs.
Violazione della direttiva sul benessere degli animali. I giardini zoologici e i bioparchi, a detta dello studio, non si stanno impegnando come dovrebbero per garantire il benessere e la conservazione degli animali. According to the study, zoos and wildlife parks are not doing everything they should to ensure the welfare and conservation of the animals. It is obvious that tigers, lions and tropical birds confined in cages which, although capacious, certainly do not allow them the space they would have in their natural habitats, grow up in captivity and behave in a manner entirely different from that in which they would behave in the savannah or in the forests.
Confirmation of the suffering of animals born in captivity was given recently by the premature death of the polar bear Knut at the Berlin Zoo. Considering that too many European zoos are not complying with the directive on the welfare of animals in zoos, does the Commission propose to monitor the situation more closely in order to prevent the infringement of the directive and ensure that no further suffering is inflicted on the millions of animals kept in European zoos?
It is in regular contact with the organisers of this study who have indicated that they are actively engaged in dialogue with different Member States about the findings of their study. The Commission has made clear to Born Free that it will investigate any alleged breaches of the directive, on the basis of clear evidence that is provided. For example, the issue of the welfare of wild animals in Zoos has been included in the recently finalised programme of training for Veterinarians in Animal Welfare for which workshops have taken place in Budapest, Barcelona, and Riga.
The Commission is also undertaking a study this year to produce a guidance and best practice document to support the implementation of the Zoos Directive. Member State authorities and key stakeholder groups will be invited to participate in this initiative. Il che comporta, evidentemente, il rischio di invalidare la garanzia del software originale.
In buona sostanza, i clienti non possono condividere con altri terminali cellulari, computer la connessione internet attiva sulle sim dei tre operatori. La situazione trova conferma nelle numerose segnalazioni che molti utenti hanno formulato da diversi mesi sui vari forum. Nel valutare tali accordi la Commissione deve prendere conoscenza di tutti gli elementi di fatto pertinenti, in particolare la situazione del mercato, la posizione delle parti sul mercato e le eventuali giustificazioni obiettive delle prassi denunciate.
Se confermati, gli accordi in questione potrebbero rientrare nel campo di applicazione dell'articolo del TFUE. Obviously, this solution carries the risk of invalidating the original software warranty. This situation is confirmed by the numerous reports made in various forums by large numbers of users over a number of months. It also emerges that this matter is linked to a specific contractual choice by the American company, which also affects telecom operators in other European countries: In particular, the computer company is said to be trying to negotiate a percentage of this additional cost, and meanwhile has blocked the tethering function.
This explains why the users of a single telecom operator are not having any problems: Given that the applicability conditions in respect of the Community legislation referred to are fulfilled, will the Commission carry out investigations to clarify the position of the American company and of the telecom operators involved on the European market? When assessing such agreements the Commission has to ascertain all relevant facts, in particular the market situation, the position of the parties in the market as well as a possible objective justification for the alleged practices.
The Commission appreciates that the Honourable Member has raised the issue of compliance of the said practices with EU competition rules. Given that such practices could adversely affect consumers, the Commission will follow developments closely. Medicina rigenerativa — microimpalcature per lesioni dei nervi. Una struttura a nido d'ape — ideata e testata per ora solo in provetta — come microimpalcatura per riparare nervi lesionati, ad esempio in seguito ad un incidente d'auto; si tratta di microscopici sostegni su cui aderiscono e crescono cellule umane, le quali creano un tessuto con una forma ben definita e seguono la conformazione della struttura stessa, fatta di acido polilattico sostanza da alcuni anni introdotta in medicina estetica contro le rughe.
In un lavoro pubblicato sulla rivista Biofabrication, il team di Frederik Claeyssens dell'University of Sheffield Regno Unito , ha evidenziato il potenziale di questa particolare microimpalcatura, con l'obiettivo di presentarne gli sviluppi scientifici e le condizioni d'impiego.
These are microscopic supports made from polylactic acid a substance introduced some years ago in aesthetic medicine for countering wrinkles on which human cells adhere and grow, to create a tissue with a well-defined shape, under the guidance of the underlying support.
In a study published in the journal Biofabrication, a team led by Frederik Claeyssens of the University of Sheffield United Kingdom has highlighted the potential of this particular microscaffold, outlining the ways in which it might be further developed and used. Microscaffolds are already being used in regenerative medicine, particularly for bladder and trachea reconstruction.
Studies involving humans can only begin after relevant legal and ethical approvals have been received at Member State level, and EU legislation ensures this. Spazzatura che si trasforma in acqua mediante l'uso dei batteri. La decomposizione di questi scarti alimentari si ottiene grazie a un processo biologico che impiega batteri prodotti in laboratorio.
Queste piccole particelle biologiche assorbono i rifiuti alimentari e li trasformano in acqua inodore e cristallina. I vantaggi dell'innovativo sistema di smaltimento sono moltissimi. In primo luogo, esso consente una diminuzione sostanziale dei rifiuti che andrebbero smaltiti con le tecniche tradizionali. Food waste is broken down through a biological process using bacteria produced in the laboratory.
These small biological particles absorb the food waste and convert it into odourless, crystal-clear water. The resulting liquid is definitely not drinkable and has no domestic use but it would be very useful to agricultural companies and to industry since the water produced has fertilising properties. The advantages of this innovative disposal system are numerous.
Firstly, it substantially reduces the amount of waste which would be disposed of using traditional methods. Intelligent waste disposal is needed urgently to protect the environment, especially soil and water. Given that it is of vital importance to recycle urban waste and reintegrate it into daily life, and that this method could represent a genuine solution to the problem of waste and its disposal, can the Commission state whether it intends to step up research and the dissemination of information on the equipment in question and on its large-scale use?
There is already a wide range of technologies turning food waste into valuable products, e. I dati presenti nel report sono allarmanti.
Oggi vi sono circa 35 milioni di persone nel mondo affette da una forma di demenza. Le previsioni sono state fatte considerando il continuo allungamento della vita. I sistemi sanitari dei paesi non sono in grado di farsi carico dei pazienti affetti da questa patologia. Infatti, secondo il rapporto, solo 8 dei Stati membri dell'OMS hanno un piano nazionale sulle demenze. L'Italia non rientra in questi pochi paesi virtuosi. Il Parlamento europeo ha approvato la dichiarazione scritta n.
I cani, in particolare di razza labrador e golden retriever, ricorderanno ai loro padroni di prendere i farmaci o li incoraggeranno a dormire, mangiare, lavarsi, ecc.
Intende incoraggiare gli Stati membri ad adottare piani nazionali per far fronte al problema economico e sociale dei malati di demenza? Intende, infine, prevedere misure di ricerca specifiche per trovare soluzioni concrete al progressivo aumento dei casi di Alzheimer proporzionali all'allungamento della vita dell'uomo? L'azione intende repertoriare le buone pratiche in fatto di trattamento e di cura e migliorare la diffusione e l'adozione di tali pratiche.
La Commissione sostiene inoltre l'attuazione dell'iniziativa di programmazione congiunta sulle malattie neurodegenerative, un'iniziativa guidata dagli Stati membri per accelerare il progresso nelle diagnosi e nelle cure delle malattie neurodegenerative.
According to the law of the European Union, every person holding the nationality of a Member State is also a citizen of the Union. Previous Page 1 2 Next Page. On what occasions are the wines and other alcoholic beverages served? The patent is held by Swedish Biofuel and the fuel is produced by LanzaTech, a company based in New Zealand, where the first pilot production plant is located. Whether it is aware of the raids carried out by law-enforcement agencies in northern Italy? Why was this intervention not foreseen when the deficit reduction and public debt targets were set? Electronic nose to detect tumours via breath.
The data in the report are alarming. Currently the risk of dementia stands at 1 in 8 for those over 65 and 1 in 2. The impact of the disease becomes ever greater with the passage of time. Italy is not among these virtuous few. A good practice to highlight is the use of assistance dogs for dementia sufferers. The pilot project was devised by students of the Glasgow School of Art and will give four Scottish couples the opportunity to use animals trained as companions and guides.
The aim of the project is not just to guarantee the sufferer permanent help but also to provide support of a moral kind in that the dog becomes a genuine companion. With regards to the dissemination of results of the project in Scotland using trained dogs and monkeys as companions and guides for people with dementia, the Commission does not have the possibility to publish, disseminate, or present results of external projects as such.
Action includes mapping good practices related to treatment and care and to improve the dissemination and application of such practices. The Commission also supports the implementation of the Joint Programming Initiative on Neurodegenerative Diseases, a Member States-led initiative to accelerate progress towards diagnosis and cures for neurodegenerative diseases. Does the Commission intend to consult leading academics with a view to drawing a distinction between dangerous and non-dangerous animals, leading to a revision of the directive so as to aid academic research?
EU legislation has been put in place in order to ensure that high levels of both human and animal health are safeguarded within the European Union. These controls are needed to ensure that animals imported into the Union are as stated in the accompanying documentation and are not animals carrying serious diseases that could carry serious implications for animals and people in the Union.
If no anomaly is identified, no further checks are necessary. The Commission is currently in the process of reviewing its import control legislation, in order to ensure that a high level of protection for the Union is maintained whilst simultaneously ensuring that controls are entirely risk-based.
This will ensure that controls are only carried out when necessary. Under pressure following the election results in France and Greece, but also facing market unease, European leaders must strike a balance between austerity and growth. Harsh austerity measures are continuing to swell the ranks of the unemployed and are generally threatening social cohesion in the European Union as a whole.
The results of local and national elections throughout Europe, for example in Italy, Germany, France and elsewhere, mark a generalised resistance to harsh austerity policies. It is certain that there is a need for a slight easing of the German model of fiscal discipline and for immediate economic growth to restore equilibrium to European societies and maintain cohesion. We must ensure that European citizens continue to enjoy tolerable living standards.
How does it plan to generate economic growth in conjunction with an ongoing harsh austerity policy, as outlined by Commissioner Olli Rehn? In this instance, based on the principle of European solidarity, should a friendlier solution not perhaps be considered for those countries that are not able to meet the demands of these harsh austerity measures? Could the issuing of Eurobonds, the strengthening of the European Investment Bank and the issuing of new money by the ECB not contribute to placing the European Union back on the path to growth? The Commission thinks that economic growth and employment are of central importance to the success of Europe's social market economy.
Therefore the Commission proposed in its Europe strategy for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth, which the European Council endorsed. Equally important, and socially responsible, are sound public finances and prudent fiscal policies. Countries cannot live beyond their means, piling up debt and transferring the burden to future generations, while eroding confidence in their economies, thus deteriorating their financing conditions.
Fiscal consolidation, which should take place as growth-friendly as possible and structural reform to boost growth and jobs are two sides of the same coin. However, overcoming the crisis will require a leap forward in terms of economic and monetary integration. In dat kader de volgende vragen:.
Kan de Commissie specifiek en gedetailleerd aangeven hoe dat komt? De onderliggende redenen voor het lage absorptiepercentage zijn zwak bestuur, ontoereikende beheerscapaciteit, buitensporige en complexe procedures, een veranderende politieke en wettelijke situatie en de economische crisis. During my visit I talked to various official spokesmen and to a non-profit relief organisation.
From these conversations, it became clear that the Romanian authorities s are not in a position to make effective application for funding and that the funds which they do request are very probably spent according to the politics of cronyism. This gives rise to the following questions:. Recent information shows that, as a Member State, Romania has applied for only Can the Commission specify in detail how this has come about?
Furthermore, does the Commission agree with the PVV that, when the absorption rates for structural funds are low, either the remaining unspent percentage should flow back to the other Member States, or else the entire Cohesion Fund itself should be abolished? Can the Commission specify what authority in Romania is responsible for applying for, allocating and controlling the European funds? Absorption varies between programmes: The underlying reasons for low absorption are weak governance, insufficient management capacity, excessive and complex procedures red tape , changing political and legal situation and the economic crisis.
So far no de-commitments of funds were necessary for programmes in Romania. Instead, the Commission considers that it is important to continue working with Romania to accelerate implementation and to ensure that the visible benefits of the Structural and Cohesion Funds are made available to all European citizens in Romania. The Honourable Member is invited to consult the complete list of the competent authorities in Romania at the website: If so, could the Commission further advise whether Her Majesty could conceivably be subject to a European arrest warrant?
According to the law of the European Union, every person holding the nationality of a Member State is also a citizen of the Union. Moreover, international law lays down the principle of sovereignty of each State in the field of nationality. In line with this principle, which has been confirmed in settled case law of the European Court of Justice, the conditions for obtaining and forfeiting citizenship of the Member States are regulated exclusively under the national law of the individual Member States.
