  • [01] "Internet chat" sur l'agenda de l'UE - lancement du nouveau cyle de négociations de l'OMC

    En sa qualité de commissaire européen responsable du commerce, Pascal Lamy conduira l'équipe de négociation de l'Union européenne à Seattle, fin novembre, quand les membres de l'Organisation Mondiale du Commerce se rencontreront pour la conférence ministérielle afin de marquer le lancement d'un nouveau cycle de négociations commerciales multilatérales. Le "internet chat" vise à donner l'opportunité au grand public d'interroger directement M. Lamy sur ce sujet de grande actualité.

    [02] Sustainability impact assessment to underpin EU approach on sustainable development in run-up to Seattle

    A new Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA) carried out on behalf of the European Commission by the University of Manchester has been issued today. The SIA puts the European Union (EU) at the forefront of analysis of the relationship between trade liberalisation, economic growth, social equity and environmental protection. It provides an important contribution in assessing the impact that the EU's proposals for the upcoming round of WTO talks will have on sustainability.

    [03] European and Latin America businesses and governments to focus on Mercosur and WTO trade talks

    Top business people and senior-level governmental representatives from the European Union (EU) and Mercosur (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) are meeting today in Mainz for the Second Mercosur-EU Business Forum (MEBF) Conference. The Conference aims to provide business recommendations to be considered in the EU-Mercosur negotiations for an Inter-regional Association Agreement between the regions and in the World Trade Organisation's Millennium Round. The European Commission supports the efforts of business in the two regions to develop a dialogue in spite of the current difficulties in the Mercosur countries, and is expecting the parties to re-state their commitment to the main recommendations of the Rio Declaration (February 1999).

    [04] La Commission a sélectionné 55 projets dans le cadre de la préparation du programme "Culture 2000"

    La Commission européenne a choisi d'apporter une contribution financière à 55 projets culturels destinés à tester le programme-cadre "Culture 2000" actuellement en cours d'adoption par le Parlement européen et le Conseil des ministres. Les projets retenus recevront un total de 6.070 millions d'euros.
