	European Shield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2002/3 and 2003/4 the European Shield took place as a reprechage tournament for teams knocked out in the first round of the European Challenge Cup.
		In 2004/5 the twelve teams who failed to progress from the qualifying round of the European Challenge Cup were joined in the draw for the European Shield by Bucuresti (Romania), UCM Madrid (Spain), Bera Bera (Spain) and Lisboa Rugby Club (Portugal).
		The Shield will not be competed for in 2005/6 due to restructuring of the European Challenge Cup.

	The Medieval European Knight vs. The Feudal Japanese Samurai
		Another element to consider is that European swords could be used in "half-sword" techniques where the second hand literally grips around the blade itself to wield the weapon in bashing, deflecting, binding, and trapping in all manner of ways that virtually make it a pole-axe or short spear.
		The average European two-hand sword is longer in handle and blade than the average katana by several inches to as much as a foot or more and is not at all slow.
		Those who think the Medieval sword and shield was and is just a “wham-bam, whack-whack” fight are as greatly misinformed as those who imagine the katana was handled in some mysterious and secret manner and can cut through anything as if it were a light-saber.

		As many years passed by, it is natural that the design of pattern in the shield increased with many divided spaces and different elements that probably showing the history of a family, relationship with others, strong wishes and so on.

		The European Commission has taken a cautious approach to laying down common rules for takeover bids across Europe with the long-awaited publication of its new directive.
		Some MEPs were critical of the absence of a full 'breakthrough' principle allowing a bidder to overcome the defences of a company targeted for takeover and of measures supporting the principle of one share one vote.
		Under the original proposal, once a bidder acquired a specified percentage of a company's shares - to be set by national authorities but no higher than 75% of share capital - the bidder should be able to control the company and not be blocked or obstructed by shareholders claiming special voting rights.

	Disarmament Diplomacy: - Preventing Missile Proliferation
		It is timely, then, to examine the current European debate on missile defence: their concerns over missile proliferation and how to respond to it, and their predilection for missile defence of their own national territory.
		Thus European concerns about national missile defence concentrate mostly on the US plans: the possibility of a similar defence of their own does not appear to figure significantly in their defence policy, if at all.
		A paradox of European NMD rhetoric is that their public opposition was at its loudest when they were preaching to the converted in the Clinton administration (which was never fully convinced on NMD), and at its most muted when the Bush administration made it plain that it was fully committed on NMD deployment.

		Several hundred top European and US experts in atmospheric chemistry and physics participated in Theseo 2000/Solve, last winter's largest ever campaign of measurements on the state of the ozone layer in the northern hemisphere.

		They proved that during a succession of cold winters, the ozone shield in the Arctic polar vortex could be depleted by as much as 50% for quite long periods and over increasingly large areas.

		Realists on the European side are already talking about trade-offs - such as American support for a stronger European defense role - in exchange for their acquiescence in a missile-defense program they vehemently oppose but are beginning to suspect is inevitable.
		But while Rumsfeld assured European allies that the United States would consult with them on its anti-missile plan, he did not address in any detail one of the Europeans' principal concerns: how an anti-missile defense can be reconciled with strategic arms control and a productive relationship with Russia.
		A third critical issue expected to be raised at the Munich meeting is European defence improvement and Washington's insistence that a rapid-reaction military force being formed by the European Union should not weaken the NATO military alliance.

	ETUC: "Use the euro to shield Europe from exchange market turmoil"
		A report by the ETUI European Trade Union Institute: “ The strong euro : a threat to the recovery of the euro area ?” shows that the sharp appreciation of the euro is alarming.
		An overvalued euro is hitting European growth and the interest rate cuts that have thus far been implemented by the ECB have not gone far enough to offset this and make Europe its own motor for recovery.
		The failure of the recovery to materialise in 2003 is directly linked to this turmoil on the exchange markets, which cost Europe almost a 1% percentage point loss in growth in that year alone.
