 Latin Biography,info
Although Latin is now widely considered to be an extinct language, with very few fluent speakers and next to no native ones, it has exerted a major influence on many other languages that are still thriving, and continues to see significant use in science, academia and law.
Latin is a synthetic inflectional language: affixes (often suffixes, which usually encode more than one grammatical category) are attached to fixed stems to express gender, number, and case in adjectives, nouns, and pronouns—a process called "declension".
Latin translations of modern literature such as Paddington Bear, Winnie the Pooh, Tintin, Asterix, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Le Petit Prince, Max und Moritz, and The Cat in the Hat are intended to bolster interest in the language.

 Finance & Development, June 1999 - The Euro and Latin America
Latin Americans are familiar with the dollar, and many in both the private and public sectors may be influenced by established personal, cultural, business, and political links to the United States.
Moreover, no structural change in the trade between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean is expected, although increased competition and efficiency in the European Union should spur economic growth, which, in turn, should stimulate demand for imports from Latin America and the Caribbean.
Because much of Latin America and the Caribbean's debt is denominated in U.S. dollars and the euro is not expected to appreciate significantly in the short term, the immediate impact of the introduction of the euro on the value of the region's debt and debt service should be small.

 Latin America:Fragmentation and Forecasts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
At that moment in time, therefore, in the first half of the 1990s, the forecast called for Latin America to be definitely headed toward modernity, incorporating as the means for development and social and political behavior the same model adopted by the leading nations of the West.
Suddenly, Latin America's poverty was a "consequence of the savage neoliberal tax imposed by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and, in the final analysis, American imperialism." Anyone ticketed with the label "neoliberal" would be politically destroyed, so that adjective was utilized demagogically in any electoral battle.
It is true that Latin America, in general, is taking up again a good deal of the populist schemes of the second half of the 20th century, but at times it seems that we are in the presence of devices to reach power and not true ideological convictions.

 Economic Co-operation Instruments Between Europe and Latin America 2
Co-operation between the European Union and the different regions of Latin America is structured according to the Budget allocations approved by the Commission and the European Parliament for each year; therefore, the instruments which support agreed co-operation programmes are grouped on the basis of these budget allotments.
Unlike these two Latin American integration groupings, the basic instrument included in the framework agreement for MERCOSUR is total liberalisation of trade among: the European Union and the four countries of the Southern Section of South America, as a preamble to an association among them.
This agreement differs from others signed by the EU and other Latin American subregions because it seeks, in the first stage, to create a free trade area, by means of the liberalisation of trade, working its way up to a political and economic Association within a reasonable timeframe.
