	European Affairs [A Publication of the European Institute]
		Our vision is to help to make the European Union bigger by enlarging it, better by bringing it closer to the European citizen, and stronger by enhancing its role in the international system: a vast area of stability, democracy and prosperity in the world, a player for international cooperation, justice and sustainable development.
		Involving national Parliaments directly in the European Union's decision-making procedures, by allowing them to check compliance with the principle of "subsidiarity," as some advocate, would hamper and delay the functioning of the European Union and could cause friction between the national Parliaments and their Governments.
		This could not be reconciled with the need to simplify the acts and procedures of the European Union and would upset the present institutional balance, which is based on the smooth operation of the "institutional triangle" composed of the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament.

	Haiti and the European Union
		A decision on the gradual reactivation of the co-operation instruments affected would be taken on the basis of the advancement of the electoral process and in the light of the resumption of co-operation with the international financial institutions, the Union being ready to review its Decision if there are encouraging developments.
		The European Union is deeply concerned by the persistence of the political crisis in Haiti and regrets that no significant progress has been noted since the elections held on 26 November 2000.
		In this spirit, the Union has closely followed the electoral process in Haiti and is concerned about the irregularities mentioned in the report of the Organisation of American States observer mission, in particular the non-compliance with the Electoral Law in the election of senators after the first round.

	Programme on European Policy-Making (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Europeanisation of the Finnish political parties can be examined from two points of view: one can either analyse party platforms and electoral programmes or examine the connections and contacts created by the parties with their European counterparts.
		Decentralisation, raised as the primary means of European Union administrative reform, is not merely a technical or organisational exercise but presupposes a wholesale change in the administrative culture.
		In 1999, during the Finnish presidency, some of the Finnish decision-makers and experts on European Union issues will be interviewed and the formation of the agenda of the Finnish presidency analysed, particularly from the point of view of the administrative reform.

	Module 3: Integration and Cooperation in Europe
		Article 3 reads: "The Union shall be served by a single institutional framework which shall ensure the consistency and the continuity of the activities carried out in order to attain its objectives while respecting and building upon the 'acquis communautaire.'" The reality, however, is different.
		It is also the most supranational of the three pillars; the European institutions exercise a great deal of influence, while the power of the member states to veto ideas is restricted.
		Since its establishment under the Treaty on European Union, the tripartite structure has constituted the basic framework of the European Union, but it is unlikely to stay that way.

	Microsoft alleged antitrust violations / The European Union's decision
		The European Union’s decision to impose a huge fine and draconian penalties on Microsoft for alleged antitrust violations ought to terrify other U.S. companies engaged in civil litigation with their international rivals.
		Yet, as evidenced by the European Microsoft case, in the absence of a single authoritative international tribunal to enforce such agreements, international judicial cooperation and deference is uncertain.
		Hopefully, these courts will recognize what the European regulatory agency did not — that it would clearly be in the best interest of both nations and the businesses they host to render decisions in these cross-border antitrust cases that promote the equitable treatment of corporations, enforce international treaty obligations and recognize well-established legal precedent.

	[20 Jun 1997] REF/1158 : EUROPEAN UNION DECISION TO LIMIT ITS CITIZENS' ACCESS TO ASYLUM IS INCONSISTENT WITH REFUGEE ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A Protocol to the European Community Treaty, adopted on Tuesday by the Union's 15 member States during their Summit in Amsterdam, places a limitation on asylum by allowing the States in the Union to use their discretion when accepting asylum applications from citizens of the Union.
		The UNHCR said that such a decision goes against an important element of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, which guarantees unqualified access to asylum.
		The UNHCR has expressed concern to the States in the European Union that the introduction of geographical restrictions to asylum is not fully consistent with the international responsibilities assumed by States which ratified the Convention.
