L'aula dell'europarlamento
09/28/2006 Il primo gennaio 2007 avremo una Unione europea a 27: vi entreranno infatti anche Romania e Bulgaria. Ma il presidente della Commissione europea José Barroso ha affermato che dopo di loro sia meglio chiudere la porta. Dal 2000, quando iniziarono i negoziati per l’adesione, la Romania si sforza di mantenere gli impegni assunti: i funzionari di Strasburgo hanno riconosciuto gli sforzi compiuti da Bucarest, soprattutto nella lotta alla corruzione e nella riforma del sistema giudiziario. Romania e la Bulgaria saranno i paesi più poveri dell’Ue: malgrado la crescita economica sostenuta, gli stipendi sono aumentati di poco. Tra i ventisette paesi membri che conterà l’UE dal prossimo gennaio, la Romania occupa il settimo posto in base al numero degli abitanti. Nel parlamento europeo avrà trentacinque parlamentari che verranno eletti nelle elezioni europee del 31 dicembre del 2007 - riporta Mihaela Iordache per Osservatorio sui Balcani.

09/27/2006 Maailmanlaajuisen kansalaisverkosto Sustainability Watchin mukaan markkinaorientoituneet kehityssuunnitelmat, joiden tarkoituksena on edistää kaupan vapauttamista ja yksityistämistä, vaikuttavat kehitykseen päinvastoin kuin niiden pitäisi. Ne eivät ota huomioon ympäristön kantokykyä. Näin on erityisesti suunniteltaessa maan ja luonnonvarojen käyttöä.

09/25/2006 Le spese militari sono in costante aumento e per la fine del 2006 supereranno i mille miliardi di dollari raggiungendo i livelli della Guerra Fredda: lo afferma l'Ong britannica Oxfam in un rapporto presentato all’Assemblea Generale dell'Onu. "L'aumento di spese militari ha comportato una crescita del 60% Dei fatturati delle principali 100 industrie produttici di armi" - segnala il rapporto. Se l'incremento è dovuto principalmente alla spesa militare degli Stati Uniti, che da sola supera la metà della spesa mondiale, e del Medio Oriente, anche l’Africa è interessata dal problema. Rilanciando le proposte della Campagna "Control arms", Oxfam ha invitato i Governi sostenere la proposta di un Trattato sul commercio delle armi già dal prossimo ottobre. E bloccare la vendita di armi nelle zone di conflitto dei paesi poveri.
