  • [01] European economic growth speeds up in 2006 boosted by buoyant investment and consumption

    Economic growth is speeding up this year to 2.7% in the European Union and 2.5% in the euro area, driven mainly by domestic demand, particularly investment. This is the strongest growth since 2000. In this positive climate, the number of jobs created by the economy is also growing and the unemployment rate dropped to 8% in the EU and 7.8% in the euro area in July. While consumer prices are pushed up by higher energy costs, underlying inflation remains contained thanks to improved labour productivity and international competition. Overall, inflation is expected to be 2.3% in 2006 in both EU and euro area after 2.2% last year.

    [02] Commission proposes environmental strategy to protect the Mediterranean Sea

    The European Commission today proposed a long-term environmental strategy for cleaning up and protecting the Mediterranean Sea. This unique ecosystem is deteriorating as environmental pressures such as pollution and construction increase. The major oil spill that occurred during the recent conflict in Lebanon has dramatically highlighted the vulnerability of the region's environment. The Mediterranean's decline threatens the health of the 143 million people living on its shores as well as the long-term development of key economic sectors that depend on the sea, such as fishing and tourism.
