Book Description
The question of how to make the European Union's energy use more environmentally and economically sound in the context of a developing EU energy policy is currently being dealt with by the European Economic and Social Committee. The issue of energy efficiency is important to the future of all Europeans, as energy is essential to daily life. Thus, the opinions presented in this brochure seek to highlight the various aspects of the energy domain in which the EESC is currently involved. The topics addressed are: the need for a more diversified energy mix, the Energy Policy for Europe, the Energy Star programme for more energy efficient office equipment, the need for an educated consumer, the European Commission's Nuclear Illustrative Programme, the use of biofuels as an energy source, the importance of limiting restrictions on energy practices, the need for binding legal measures that would protect citizens' rights, and the pressing need for a viable European energy policy. These opinions were adopted between the years 2006 and 2008, and are thus, still pertinent. Through this brochure, the Committee seeks to raise awareness of the important contributions that European civil society organisations can make towards the promotion of efficient energy use and towards the adoption of an adequate energy mix in Europe.

The Constitutional Foundations of European Contract Law
Author: Kathleen GutmanPublisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 019102547X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Situated within the context of the ongoing debate about European contract law, this book provides a detailed examination of the European Union's competence in the field of contract law. It analyses the limits of Union competence in relation to several relevant Treaty provisions which potentially confer competence on the Union to adopt a comprehensive contract law instrument and the exercise of Union competence in connection with the operation of the principles of subsidiarity, proportionality and sincere cooperation. It also explores the viability of several alternative and complementary routes to the adoption of such an instrument, including enhanced cooperation, an intergovernmental treaty and certain American techniques. Setting forth an elaborate account of the context for this debate and its chronological development at the European level, this book charts the discussions relating to the European Union's competence to regulate contract law and offers a comparative analysis of the approach taken to the approximation of contract law in the American setting. Setting forth a detailed account of the context for this debate and its chronological development at the European level, the book charts the discussions that have occurred within and outside the EU relating to the transnational competence to regulate contract law. Situating European constitutional law within the continued debate about European contract law, it also reflects upon the contract law structure of the United States and examines the viability of alternative and complementary routes to the adoption of a comprehensive instrument of substantive contract law.
The Europe 2020 Strategy

Book Description
Launched in March 2010 by the European Commission, the Europe 2020 strategy aims to achieve "smart, sustainable, and inclusive" growth. The engines for this growth are - Knowledge and innovation - Greener and more efficient use of resources - Higher employment combined with social and territorial cohesion This CEPS report takes an in-depth look at this major initiative and finds that the strategy itself needs to be revised in several important respects. First, the authors believe, R&D spending per se is not the best indicator of innovativeness; a new measure, intangible capital, would be more appropriate. Second, while increasing the share of the workforce with a university degree is important for competitiveness and employment, it is the quality of that education that matters more than the quantity. The study also finds that employment targets would be better reached by a skills upgrade among women who have the least education. Concerning climate change, the authors conclude that unless the EU increases the level of its ambition and adds a carbon import tariff, reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions are likely to have a negligible impact on global climate change. Finally and more generally, the report argues that the 2020 strategy should acknowledge the importance of institutional efficiency at the national level.
