	List of Major Illicit Drug-Producing or Major Drug-Transit Countries
		I note that a country's presence on the list of major drug-transit countries is not an adverse reflection on its government's counternarcotics efforts or on the level of its cooperation with the United States.
		Consistent with the statutory definition of a major drug-transit country set forth in section 481(e)(5) of the FAA, among the reasons that major drug-transit countries are placed on the list is the combination of geographical, commercial, and economic factors that allow drugs to transit despite the most assiduous enforcement measures of the government concerned.
		Belize was removed from the list of major drug-transit countries in 1999 because there was clear evidence that the drug trade was not currently using it as a transit point for drugs moving to the United States.

	Abolitionist and Retentionist Countries - Amnesty International
		Following are lists of countries in the four categories: abolitionist for all crimes, abolitionist for ordinary crimes only, abolitionist in practice and retentionist.
		It shows that in the past decade, an average of over three countries a year have abolished the death penalty in law or, having done so for ordinary offences, have gone on to abolish it for all offences.
		Countries which retain the death penalty for ordinary crimes such as murder but can be considered abolitionist in practice in that they have not executed anyone during the past 10 years and are believed to have a policy or established practice of not carrying out executions.

	The Globalist \| Global Society -- Europe as the World’s New Moral Center?
		Europe has championed and financed advanced positions on many large global issues, including protection of the environment, peacekeeping and aid to developing countries.
		The five largest countries of Europe, plus others such as Denmark, wrestle visibly and painfully with the difficulties posed by the presence of important and growing Muslim minorities.
		These countries are thus modern laboratories where both the tensions and the potential terms of mutual understanding between the West and Islam are tested and explored daily in concrete settings.

	Roma Rights / Spring, 1997 -- meet the ERRC
		Europe is held hostage by the spectre of the ethnically pure nation-state.
		The Roma are a European minority and citizens of the countries in which they live; their participation process needs to draw on common roots and common perspectives beyond citizenship, group affiliation, or country of residence.
		At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the civil rights movement of Roma in Europe, to enable them to be in a position to fight for the concerns of their people.

	IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
		Countries with the most threatened and the most threatened endemic species tend to lie within the continental tropics and countries with the highest proportion of threatened species are mostly tropical island nations.
		Countries that currently have a low human population density but a high rate of population growth could be opportunistic places for pre-emptive conservation initiatives.
		The Red List can be used to: provide information on the conservation status of individual species; guide the listing of individual species in national or international legislation; aid in conservation planning and priority setting; help to identify priority species for conservation action and recovery planning; and support educational programmes.

	AICGS: EVENTS (Culture, Social Values, and Politics 4/29/2004)
		There have been many statements made recently referring to the new EU member states as new members of Europe, but many in these countries rightly feel that there is a common European heritage that has existed long before negotiations for accession began.
		A sudden shift to a western European concept of identity by these countries should not be expected, especially because many of these countries define themselves by what they are not--namely, like their neighbors.
		The question of a clear, common political identity throughout the EU countries was contested, as was the idea of common foreign and security interests.

	Europe Main Page
		The diversity of Europe is, of course, essential to its charm.
		Few are concerned that the peoples of Europe will soon shed their incredible diversity of history, religion, language and cuisine.
		Due to the simplicity of travel between countries and the familiarity as many Americans have their roots in Europe, many visitors choose to visit any country by self-drive car: we typically arrange for hotel stays in major cities (where you do not need a car) and offer car rental with hotel accommodations throughout the countries.

	President Bush Should Advance a New U.S. Vision for Europe
		Europe is the only part of the world where political, diplomatic, military, and economic power can be generated in sufficient strength to support American policies effectively.
		Europe is a union of nation-states, deeply divided by history, language, and culture, and it maintains a healthy division of outlook regarding major foreign policy issues.
		If a major European country rejects the constitution, the EU will be forced to adopt a multi-speed Europe, in which some countries opt for ever-closer union, while traditional U.S. allies such as Britain form an outer core of EU members with looser political ties to Brussels.

	Europe's Muslim Street (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Europe’s Muslims hail from different countries and display diverse religious tendencies, but the common denominator that links them to the Muslim world is their sympathy for Palestine and Palestinians.
		It’s worth remembering that Europe’s Muslim population is an unintended consequence of actions taken nearly a half century ago.
		The country’s diverse Muslim community is now represented by a unified French Council of the Islamic Faithu—a potential boon to its lobbying clout.

	Introduction and Summary: What the World Thinks in 2002
		And in Egypt, a country for which no comparative data is available, just 6% of the public holds a favorable view of the U.S. The war on terrorism is opposed by majorities in nearly every predominantly Muslim country surveyed.
		In most countries surveyed, people rate the quality of their own life much higher than the state of their nation; similarly, their rating of national conditions is more positive than their assessment of the state of the world.
		More generally, the publics of the six countries in the Middle East/Conflict Area are dissatisfied with the state of their lives, and a relatively high proportion of respondents in this region also report they have been unable to afford basic necessities in the past year.

	Seeking overseas lists
		Increasing penetration in these countries — not to mention deciding which of the countries to expand into firstwill require consideration of factors that go beyond which of them yields the highest response rate from multinational list testing.
		Local lists, also referred to as national or country lists, are available in just about all the categories familiar to us in the States, including compiled files, response-generated lists, and co-op databases.
		Smaller countries in Europe with high economic growth rates, including Baltic and Eastern European markets, present marketing opportunities that local commercial list availability is not yet up to the task of meeting.

		But Poland and some -- and the other countries that are applying for membership are democracies, and they have a right as we see it to apply for membership in NATO, and if they are qualified -- if they are qualified -- NATO has no reason for turning down their application.
		Under that treaty, these countries may not agree to the transfer of nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices or assume the direct or indirect management of such weapons or nuclear explosive devices.
		In the meantime, non-nuclear countries are involved on a daily basis in NATO nuclear planning, take an active part in the endorsement of the plans for the deployment and modernisation of nuclear arsenals and elaborate systems of command, control and communications.

		Countries that either participated in the Coalition effort in the war or supported it -- including Britain, Australia, Spain, Italy, Poland, Turkey and Japan -- are on the list.
		Noticeably absent from the list are France, Germany, Russia and China -- countries that strongly opposed the U.S.-led war.

	Europe
		While the countries of Western Europe have rapidly progressed in securing women’s right to reproductive health care, the women in East Central Europe face strong challenges to their reproductive rights (To read more about reproductive rights in East Central Europe, see Women of the World: Laws and Policies Affecting Their Reproductive Lives, East Central Europe).
		The contraceptive prevalence rate in the region is one of the lowest in the world and there are continuing efforts in many countries of the region to erode the right of a woman to decide whether or not to have an aboriton.
		It requests that the Member States and Accession Countries improve the exchange of information and best practices on the issues of unwanted pregnancies and abortion, adolescent sexual reproductive health and rights and sexuality education, and on the development of sexual and reproductive health policies in general.

	Forward to the Past - Capitalism in Post-Communist Europe
		The core countries of Central Europe (the Czech Republic, Hungary and, to a lesser extent, Poland) experienced industrial capitalism in the inter-war period.
		Elements of feudalism survived in the mellifluous and prolix prose of the Habsburg codices and patents.
		The present brobdignagian agricultural sectors in countries as diverse as Poland and Macedonia attest to this continuity of feudal practices.

		Europe: A History won't please everybody, but it's a highly intelligent, superbly readable overview that is certain to become a standard text.
		Aside from defining what Europe is and giving all countries their due, Davies also tries to show the joys of an inclusive reading of historical subjects (he disparages excessive specialization and writes admiringly of the Annales school).
		Although he covers much of the cultural history of Europe in his narrative, it is in these capsules that one finds many fascinating aspects of this cultural history and how it has evolved over the century.

		That Europe as an entity is sick and the European Union as an institution is in disorder cannot be denied.
		Hence it is not surprising that Europe, which grew rapidly in the 1960s and 1970s, before the EU got going, has slowly lost pace since Brussels took over its direction and imposed convergence.
		It is not the Europe of Aquinas, Luther or Calvin--or the Europe of Galileo, Newton and Einstein.

	AEI - Short Publications
		So the real danger posed by Europe's speech laws is not so much guilty verdicts as an insidious chilling of political debate, as people censor themselves in order to avoid legal charges and the stigma and expense they bring.
		European politicians, media outlets, and university discussions are routinely uncomfortable airing information--say, about rates of crime--that reflects unfavorably on the members of groups such as citizens of African or Middle Eastern descent, for fear that it will fuel negative stereotypes of these groups and open the broadcaster to charges of inciting hatred.
		That would cease to make Europe a role model for censorship and restore it as a model of core democratic rights instead, expanding and not contracting its moral authority in the world.

	News - India Tops Annual List of Most Attractive Countries for International Retail Expansion
		The study also found that countries in the top third of the annual index experience retail sales growth rates twice as high as countries in the bottom of the index, indicating retailers should pay particular attention to entering these markets early.
		Russia's drop from first to second place in the GRDI can be attributed to a steady stream of foreign retailers entering the market during the last few years. While the country remains attractive its market saturation continues to increase indicating the time is now for retailers still thinking about entering Russia.
		A.T. Kearney's Global Retail Development Index ranks 30 emerging countries on the urgency for retailers to enter the country. The scores are based on 25 variables across four primary categories: economic and political risk; market attractiveness; market saturation; and time pressure (difference or addition between gross domestic product and modern retail area growth).

		The aim of the volume titled THE LANGUAGES OF EUROPE seems to be the exploration of this complex linguistic situation in Europe, where many individuals are typically bilingual and minority groups face the problem of acquiring proficiency in at least two languages to be able to fully function on the national level.
		The main point this group of articles makes is that some of these countries are good examples of fair treatment and the others need to improve their treatment of the immigrant minorities.
