Building Parliament: 50 years of European Parliament history 1958–2008There is hardly a political system in the modern world that does not have a parliamentary assembly in its institutional ’toolkit’. Even autocratic or totalitarian systems have found a way of creating the illusion of popular expression.

The parliamentary institution is not in itself a sufficient condition for granting a democratic licence. Yet the existence of a parliament is a necessary condition of what we have defined since the English, American and French Revolutions as ’democracy’.

Since the start of European integration, the history of the European Parliament has fallen between these two extremes. Europe was not initially created with democracy in mind. Yet Europe today is realistic only if it espouses the canons of democracy. In other words, political realism in our era means building a new utopia, that of a supranational or post-national democracy, while for two centuries the DNA of democracy has been its realisation within the nation-state.

Fact sheets on the European Union 2009 editionThe European Union at a glance!

The aim of these fact sheets is to provide those new to the subject with an overview of the process of European integration and the European Parliament’s role in this development.

New fact sheets have recently been added to the series and cover subjects including the reforms undertaken in preparation for the accession of Bulgaria and Romania; the new financial perspective; gender equality; asylum and immigration policy; management of external borders; judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters; sports policy; the Lisbon strategy; the European neighbourhood policy (ENP); the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) and central Asia.

With access to around 165 fact sheets, readers will find that this is one of the best sources of information about the Union’s institutions and policies.

The content of these fact sheets covers six main areas: how the EU works, citizens’ Europe, the internal market, common policies, economic and monetary union and the EU’s external relations.

Your guide to the Lisbon TreatyAfter decades of war that cost millions of lives, the foundation of the EU marked the beginning of a new era where European countries solve their problems by talking, not fighting.

Today, members of the EU enjoy a wealth of benefits. The existing rules, however, were designed for a much smaller EU, and an EU that did not have to face global challenges such as climate change, a global recession or international cross-border crime. The EU has the potential, and the commitment, to tackle these problems, but can only do so by improving the way it works.

This is the purpose of the Lisbon Treaty. It makes the EU more democratic, efficient and transparent. It gives citizens and parliaments a bigger input into what goes on at a European level, and gives Europe a clearer, stronger voice in the world, all the while protecting national interests. This booklet explains what the Lisbon Treaty means to you as a citizen.

Economically, enlargement has created export and investment opportunities, thus more jobs for the citizens of old Member States, while it has led to better living standards in the new ones.

This booklet responds to the most common concerns and presents a factual balance sheet of EU enlargement.

How the European Union worksYour guide to the EU institutions

The European Union is unique. It is not a federal state like the United States of America because its member countries remain independent sovereign nations. Nor is it a purely intergovernmental organisation like the United Nations because the member countries do pool some of their sovereignty — and thus gain much greater collective strength and influence than they could have acting individually.

They pool their sovereignty by taking joint decisions through shared institutions such as the European Parliament, which is elected by the EU citizens, and the Council, which represents national governments. They decide on the basis of proposals from the European Commission, which represents the interests of the EU as a whole. But what does each of these institutions do? How do they work together? Who is responsible for what? This booklet sets out the answers in clear and simple language. It also gives a brief overview of the agencies and other bodies that are involved in the European Union’s work. The aim is to provide you with a helpful guide to EU decision-making.

Statistical and economic information report CD-ROM included

With the evolution of the common agricultural policy, rural development gained in importance and information needs have also evolved. For this reason, the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development now prepares an annual, specific report aiming to provide, on a regular basis, comprehensive information on rural areas and the implementation of the EU’s rural development policy.

The aims of the policy have been simplified and clarified around three clearly defined economic, environmental and territorial objectives:

■ improving the competitiveness of agriculture and forestry;

■ improving the environment and the countryside; ■ improving the quality of life in rural areas and encouraging diversification of

economic activity.

Five years of an enlarged EU — Economic achievements and challengesEuropean Economy 1/2009

In this report, the Commission reviews EU enlargement in 2004/2007, concluding it was overall a success for the EU and its citizens. The EU added 12 new countries from central/eastern Europe and the Mediterranean — in 2004 (Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia) and then again in 2007 (Romania and Bulgaria).

This was the biggest EU enlargement ever and a historic step towards unifying Europe after decades of Cold War division.

Economic forecast — Spring 2009 European Economy 3/2009

The European Commission publishes twice-yearly comprehensive macroeconomic forecasts. In its spring 2009 economic forecast, the Commission discusses the economic situation and outlook for the euro area and the EU, its 27 Member States, the candidate countries, and the EU’s main economic partners.

The European economy is in the midst of its most severe recession since the Second World War, caused in particular by the worsening of the global financial crisis, the sharp contraction in world trade and ongoing housing market corrections in some economies. In the Commission’s spring forecast, GDP in the European Union is projected to fall by 4 % in 2009 and to broadly stabilise in 2010.

Monitoring revenue trends and tax reforms in Member States 2008European Economy 4/2009

Based on the mandate of the Ecofin Council, the work programme of the Working Group on the Quality of Public Finances (EPC-QPFWG attached to the Economic Policy Committee (EPC)) has identified the efficiency of tax systems as a key issue for further work. The EPC-QPFWG has decided that this work should, among others, take the form of an annual report.

The joint EC–EPC annual report on revenues (ARR) is prepared by the Commission (jointly by the Economic and Financial Affairs DG and the Taxation and Customs Union DG) and the EPC-QPFWG. It builds on the substantial work carried out by the Commission services, such as assessments of the budgetary implications of tax reforms, analyses on the key role of revenue systems for the sustainability of public finances and the studies considering their effects on employment, growth and equity and their contribution to the achievement of environmental policy objectives.

Economic Crisis in Europe: causes, consequences and responsesEuropean Economy 7/2009

In this special report, published on 14 September 2009, the Commission takes stock of Europe’s deepest recession since the 1930s. The report examines the anatomy of the crisis and concludes that the EU’s response was swift and decisive. But decision-makers are now grappling with how best to design ’exit strategies’ from temporary support measures, and the focus of the policy debate is shifting from crisis control to longer-term measures supporting a return to growth. Key challenges will be balancing financial stability and competition, and restoring fiscal probity without compromising recovery. The EU will have an important coordinating role in ensuring an orderly crisis resolution.

Sustainability report 2009European Economy 9/2009

The crisis-related fiscal expansions and the ageing of the European Union’s population raise questions about the sustainability of the Member States’ public finances. As the share of working age people in the population falls and the share of the old increases, economies are faced with lower economic growth and higher costs associated with providing services for the ageing population. This results in pressure on the public finances; bold measures will be necessary to ensure that they return to a sustainable footing before the full effect of ageing is felt.

This second edition of the Panorama on energy endeavours to deliver global characteristics of the energy situation in Europe, using the most recent official data available at Eurostat. It covers the main energy themes for the EU-27 as well as for each individual Member State and quantifies them. Community energy policies receive deserved attention and, in order to demonstrate the dynamic nature of the subject and how new policies call for new solutions, a few statistical projects will illustrate recent development work in cooperation with the Member States.

A CD-ROM is included which, apart from a substantial amount of documentary information, invites the reader to review statistical data by means of an easy-to-use numerical presentation tool.

Despite the vast amount of water on the planet, decades of unsustainable management mean that water shortages have reached crisis point in many regions.

Until now, most Europeans have been insulated from the social, economic and environmental impacts of severe water shortages. But, as demand increases and the global climate changes, is Europe becoming more susceptible?

Transport at a crossroadsTERM 2008: indicators tracking transport and environment in the European Union

EEA Report No 3/2009

The current economic turmoil may lessen the demand for transport but the transport sector still contributes significantly to rising emissions of greenhouse gases, noise exposure, air pollution, fragmentation of habitats and impacts on wildlife.

The Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism (TERM) report for 2008 highlights this trend. Although there is growing awareness of the transport sector’s disproportionate impact on the environment, the report shows that there is little evidence of improved performance or a shift to sustainable transport across Europe.

Ensuring quality of life in Europe’s cities and towns Tackling the environmental challenges driven by European and global changeEEA Report No 5/2009

‘Quality of life’ is a term broadly used both by the general public and amongst policymakers. Everyone agrees on its importance, but a definitive meaning cannot be assigned to it — the term can mean many things to many people. In recognition of this diversity of perspectives, a range of partners with distinct backgrounds dealing with urban issues across Europe discussed their views and provided their results in this joint report.

This report aims to raise awareness of the various perspectives on, and perceptions of, quality of life. It stresses the challenges ahead to ensure quality of life in the long run for all social groups, and the crucial importance of sustainability and the environment as our life-supporting system.

Diverting waste from landfillEffectiveness of waste-management policies in the European UnionEEA Report No 7/2009

Issued in 1999, the landfill directive was a milestone in EU waste policy. It marked a decisive shift from landfill towards the EU’s new waste hierarchy, which prioritises waste prevention, followed by reuse, recycling and recovery, and seeks to avoid landfilling wherever feasible.

This report seeks to answer a number of important questions, including the following.

To what extent has waste management practice changed in the last decade?

How much of the change was due to the landfill directive (and other EU instruments)?

What measures and institutional arrangements did countries introduce?

Which measures and arrangements proved most effective in different national and regional contexts?

Spanning the centre of continental Europe, the Alps play a crucial role in accumulating and supplying water to the continent. Recognised as the ‘water towers of Europe’, the mountains host most of the headwaters of the rivers Danube, Rhine, Po and Rhone; as such, they deliver vital ecosystem services both within and beyond the region, underpinning social and economic well-being in vast lowland areas.

Troublingly, the alpine climate has changed significantly during the past century, with temperatures increasing by more than twice the global average.

Climate change — what is it all about?An introduction for young people

Climate change or global warming is happening, and its impact on all of us is growing. If we do not take action to stop it, during the course of this century global warming is almost certainly going to change the world we live in dramatically and alter our way of life. Millions of people’s lives could be put in danger.

Leading global action to 2020 and beyondEU action against climate change

Global warming must be kept below 2 °C. Climate change is happening now.

For the world to have a fair chance of keeping the average temperature rise below 2 ºC, global emissions of greenhouse gases will have to peak before 2020 and then be reduced by at least 50 % of 1990 levels by 2050. This goal is both technically feasible and economically affordable if major emitters act urgently. The benefits of doing so will far outweigh the limited economic costs. This brochure explains the EU’s proposals for global action as well as the measures the Union itself is taking.

Consumers in EuropeFacts and figures on services of general interest

The 2009 edition of Consumers in Europe presents a comprehensive set of data and related information concerning consumer markets and consumer protection issues within the European Union. The aim of the publication is to bring together the most relevant and useful information for the evaluation and development of consumer policy, not only as a tool for policymakers, but also for those interested in end-markets and consumer affairs, such as representative organisations, public authorities, or suppliers of goods and services.

Much of the data that has been used will feed into the consumer markets scoreboard, which has been designed to monitor outcomes in the single market and to make European Union policy in this area more responsive to the expectations and concerns of consumers.

EMCDDA insights Internet-based drug treatment interventions

Best practice and applications in EU Member States

In the drugs field, professionals have recognised the potential of Internet-based programmes to deliver drug treatment programmes. There is a significant target audience for such interventions. Drug treatment demand has risen in the EU, particularly among young cannabis users and socially integrated drug users. These people may feel ill at ease with ‘traditional’ treatment centres which target injecting drug users. This review aims to provide insights into the state-of-the-art of Internet-based drug treatment interventions — termed ‘Internet-based DTIs’ in this report — with a particular focus on Internet-based interventions developed in the EU for treating cannabis-use disorders.

For the purposes of this review, an Internet-based DTI is considered as a service that is distinct from more general websites about drugs, and is strictly defined as ‘an Internet-based programme that comprises a specially developed/adapted, structured, and scheduled drug treatment intervention’. The programmes identified in this report are the outcome of a literature and Internet research for relevant Internet-based drug treatment interventions, together with a request to identify such programmes within the EMCDDA’s Reitox national focal points.

Expert forecast on emerging chemical risks related to occupational safety and healthThe Community strategy on health and safety at work 2002–06 called on the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work to ‘set up a risk observatory’ to ‘anticipate new and emerging risks’. Within this context, a series of four expert forecasts were formulated with the aim of providing as comprehensive as possible a picture of the potential emerging risks in the world of work. Three reports on emerging physical risks, biological risks and psychosocial risks have already been published. This publication (the last one of the series) presents the results of the forecast on emerging chemical risks related to occupational safety and health based on an expert survey and a literature review.

OSH in figures: stress at work — facts and figuresStress at work is common throughout Europe. In surveys carried out every five years by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, respondents name it as the second most common threat posed by the working environment. Only musculoskeletal problems are seen as more likely to damage workers’ health. According to the fourth European Survey of Working Conditions, carried out in 2005 in all Member States, stress was experienced by an average 22 % of working Europeans. In 2002, the annual economic cost of work-related stress in the EU-15 was estimated at EUR 20 000 million.

Preventing risks to young workers: policy, programmes and workplace practicesYoung workers (15–24 years) are a very vulnerable group when it comes to occupational safety and health (OSH). However, the majority of OSH risks are preventable — whether they involve young or older workers — by applying the principles of risk assessment and putting in place the necessary preventive measures. To support information exchange on best practice, the agency has produced a report about how the occupational safety and health of young workers can be managed at policy and practice level.

The results provided in this report, the score of the European Member States on the Barcelona targets and the ongoing debates suggest that the childcare issue will remain an important policy priority in the near future as well.

EUR-Lex eur-lex.europa.eu — The gateway to European Union law

EUR-Lex combines an elaborate tool for professional users and an information source easily accessible to all.

The EUR-Lex website provides entirely free access to the world’s largest documentary repository on European Union law. It is designed for those who are interested in EU law and exists in all the official languages of the European Union. It gives users access to EU documents in PDF, HTML, TIFF or DOC format.

The content of the site dates back to 1951 and amounts to some 2 300 000 documents. The database is updated daily and every year some 15 000 documents are added.

You can:

■ consult the Official Journal of the European Union online;

■ access EU legislation and other documents by: — searching for documents, — browsing through collections and directories.

Consult the Official Journal of the European Union

The L (Legislation) and C (Information and Notices) series of the Official Journal of the European Union are loaded on to the EUR-Lex site early each working day. This allows the EUR-Lex user to follow the latest developments in EU law. The Official Journal has been available online in PDF format since 1 January 1998. Texts published in the Official Journal before 1998 can be consulted in HTML format or downloaded in TIFF format from an optical archive.

New features

New features have recently been added to EUR-Lex. Browsing through COM documents was added to the ‘Preparatory acts’ collection. The options of searching for SEC documents and national execution measures were made available in ‘Search by natural number’. To facilitate access to selected documents, permanent links have been added to each bibliographic notice.
