  • [01] Libre circulation des décisions en matière de responsabilité parentale : un élément essentiel pour la protection des enfants en Europe La Commission européenne a adopté aujourd'hui une proposition qui établit concrètement le droit fondamental des enfants - de couples mariés ou non - de maintenir des relations avec leurs deux parents, même lorsque ceux-ci décident de résider dans différents pays d'Europe. Cette proposition en faveur de la reconnaissance mutuelle des décisions en matière de responsabilité parentale institue pour la première fois un cadre juridique clair qui régit la compétence, la reconnaissance et l'exécution de ces décisions partout dans l'Union européenne.
  • [02] Structural funds : Commission approves regional development programmes amounting to euro 281 million for South and East Netherlands The European Commission has approved two regional development programmes for "South and East Netherlands" for the period 2000-2006. The programmes amount to euro 281 million in financial support from the European Union. The European funding will attract further investments from the Netherlands' public and private sector up to a total amount of euro 787 million. The two programmes concern the Dutch provinces Noord-Brabant, Limburg, Gelderland and Overijssel. The funds will promote sustainable spatial development of these mainly rural regions and will thereby contribute to the diversification of economic activities.
  • [03] La Commission propose une énumération exhaustive des ingrédients et allergènes alimentaires La Commission européenne a publié aujourd'hui une proposition de modification de la directive relative à l'étiquetage des denrées alimentaires, destinée à garantir que tous les consommateurs soient informés sur le contenu complet des denrées alimentaires et à permettre aux consommateurs souffrant d'allergie d'identifier le ou les ingrédients allergènes qui pourraient être présents. La proposition abolira la "règle des 25%" en vertu de laquelle il n'est pas obligatoire de mentionner dans l'étiquetage les composants des ingrédients composés lorsqu'ils constituent moins de 25% du produit final. En vertu de la proposition en question, tous les ingrédients ajoutés intentionnellement devront être énumérés sur l'étiquetage. La proposition établira également une liste des ingrédients susceptibles de provoquer des allergies ou des intolérances et inclura les boissons alcoolisées si celles-ci contiennent un ingrédient figurant sur la liste des allergènes.
  • [04] Statement by European Commissioner for Enlargement Günter Verheugen on Cyprus "The European Commission has contributed actively to the efforts of the UN Secretary General to bring about a resumption of the talks aimed at finding a solution to the Cyprus problem. My meeting with the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community, Mr Denktash, in Zurich on 27 August underlined the EU's clear preference for a solution to be reached before enlargement, although this is not pre-condition for Cyprus's accession. Against this background I am very disappointed that Mr Denktash has not accepted the UN Secretary General's invitation to talks on 12 September. The Commission considers that the window of opportunity for reaching a solution before accession remains open and encourages all interested parties to undertake all efforts with this aim in view."
  • [05] Chris Patten to visit Skopje on 6-7 September 2001 European Commissioner for External Relations Chris Patten and Mr Javier Solana, EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, will visit Skopje on 6-7 September. Commissioner Patten will focus on particular on the substantial package of additional assistance which the European Commission has drawn up to support the recently signed Framework Agreement, and how that assistance can be delivered promptly. He will stress that this help is closely tied to the full implementation of the provisions of the Framework Agreement. The visit takes place immediately before the informal meeting of EU Foreign Ministers this weekend, at which Mr Patten and Mr Solana will be present.
