		Europeans who virulently opposed the war must now logically support the United States for exactly the same reason: the need, at all costs, to avoid chaos, or the establishment of a new dictatorship in Iraq that could only fan the flames of the "clash of civilizations" that Europe fervently hopes to avoid.
		Europeans widely share the diagnosis of President Bush's advisors: the political situation in the Middle East and relations between the Arab world and the West are in a dangerous state.
		Europeans are convinced that the peace process between Israel, its Arab neighbors and, especially, the Palestinians is essential for the pacification of the whole region, and are extremely anxious that it succeed.

		The European Council, which represents the governments of the member states, and the European Commission, which is the executive and the body maintaining the right to initiate legislation, have identified employment and social affairs as prominent issues for the EU’s internal agenda in the near future.
		Unions within the EU face the challenge of operating at the supranational level, in an effort to influence common EU social and economic policy directly affecting their interests.
		The European notion of social exclusion is defined as a person’s inability to participate fully in the life of his country or the EU because of poverty, lack of education, disability, age, race, gender, or nationality, among others.

	European Affairs [A Publication of the European Institute]
		A strong European Union composed of 27 countries, all of them members of the euro and the Schengen zone, would almost be bound to feel the need for further institutional revision.
		European Union, or at least of the euro zone, in international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the G8 grouping of leading, advanced democracies.
		European civic education should therefore be considered in schools from Portugal to Estonia, because the citizens of tomorrow need to know the nature of the political entity in which they live.

	EUROPEAN UNION: The French Referendum - Council on Foreign Relations
		France is one of the original founders of the European Economic Community, the European Union's precursor, and leaders of both of France's major parties back the constitution.
		However, to prevent more populous countries from exercising too much power in votes decided by simple majority, the constitution requires that a "qualified majority" of 55 percent of the member states and 65 percent of the EU population approve a policy before it can become law.
		The purpose of this position, according to the European Union's website, is to "give the EU a higher profile in the world and a single human face to represent it in international relations." The post is not meant to supplant, but to work with, individual members' foreign ministers.

		Countries with rapidly growing high-tech industries such as Hungary, and to a lesser degree the Baltic states and other countries bordering the European Union, should reap the benefits of growing productive efficiency.
		The south-east European transition economies, however, have not benefited much from growth in the high-tech sectors, but this region can also expect relatively high growth rates, at least in the short run, thanks to the more favourable external environment which should support a strengthening of the recovery.
		Some of the countries that in recent years have experienced economic downturns or a deceleration of growth, anticipate a strengthening of GDP growth in 2001.

	IFEX :: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In letters to the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, and to the President of the European Parliament Josep Borrell, the groups say that over the last 10 years more than 1,000 journalists and media staff have been killed, yet in only a handful of cases have suspects been brought to trial.
		The protesters are urging the European Union to join a campaign to expose the lack of political will to back proper investigation of media killings.
		Noting that the problem also affects countries bordering on the European Union, and many others with whom the European Union has treaty arrangements, the groups says European Union leaders must use their influence to more directly defend the core European values of justice and freedom.

	AsiaMedia :: Justice for journalists
		Christopher Warren, IFJ president, has sent a letter to the president of the European Commission in order to call on the Commission members to use their influence individually and collectively, to expose and combat the scandal of impunity in the killing of journalists and media staff.
		In his letter to the European Commission Mr Warren wrote: "We ask you to consider that in many countries bordering on the European Union, and many beyond with whom the European Union has treaty arrangements, there continues to be willful disregard of the need for proper reporting and investigation into cases of media deaths.
		It is believed that the practice of accusing journalists of being in violation of insult and criminal defamation laws has had a drastic impact on press freedom and the well-being of journalists around the world, who often pay in jail time for addressing corruption and state-sponsored crime or for criticising their governments.

		JUST ONE day after Health Minister Rudolf Zajac appealed to the country's smokers to quit their bad habit, the cabinet approved a new law to better shield non-smokers from Slovakia's smoking population, estimated to be 34 percent strong.
		The new non-smokers' protection law updates the country's legislation, which was approved for the fist time in 1997 but was difficult to enforce, according to the Health Ministry.
		Education Minister Martin Fronc objected to the smoking ban at dormitories and universities, and Labour Minister Ludovit Kanik rejected the proposal that the smoking and non-smoking areas at restaurants be separated by walls.

		Host Spain pushed for the Union to promote a combination of shipping and rail to transport goods in the EU, but the final declaration simply stressed the need to improve infrastructure links between ports and road and rail networks.
