Last Thursday, the heads of government of the 27 member states of the European Union convened in the Portuguese capital Lisbon to sign the EU Reform Treaty. That "Treaty of Lisbon" is almost identical to the European Constitutional Treaty, the so-called EU Constitution, which was rejected two years ago in referendums in major EU member states.
The EU rules stipulate that treaties only become effective when they have been ratified in all 27 member states. The "no" votes in the 2005 referendums killed the constitution, which would have transformed the EU from a supranational organization of 27 sovereign member states into a genuine single European federal state with 27 provinces. It was clear from the outset, however, that the peoples of the various European states were not willing to ren...

Thirty years ago, "Made in Japan" was synonymous with "cheap." Japanese economy cars then might not have been glamorous, but they achieved popularity as reliable and efficient vehicles available at bargain-basement prices.
Obtaining drugs from "safe" nations like Britain or France offers little protection, because drugs move freely among the 27 European Union (E.U.) member states through a system of "parallel trade." Under this system, drugs purchased from countries considered "safe" may have originated elsewhere in the E.U. - like Latvia or Malta, where it's far easier for Chinese counterfeits to enter the legitimate supply chain.
Until we see progress in our ability to verify the authenticity of drug imports, opening our medicine cabinets to foreign drugs will jeopardize our collectiv...

As the Internet and mobile communication devices become ever more popular, the 27 EU Member States face a new conundrum: how to protect creative online content and make it available to all EU citizens. To tackle this challenge, the European Commission started the new year by publishing its "Communication on Creative Content Online in the Single Market" report, which outlines a number of strategies that would simplify access to online music, games, and movies. The report is oriented around four main axes: availability of creative content, multiterritory licensing, interoperability and transparency of digital rights management, and legal offers and privacy. As for the Commission's proposals for dealing with piracy and legal offers, it recognizes the need for further cooperation between ac...

By the end of this year, when Americans know who their 44th president is, Europeans will know who the first president of Europe will be.
In December, government leaders of the 27 European Union member states convened in Lisbon to sign the EU Reform Treaty. This treaty of 76,250 words is a rewrite of the EU Constitutional Treaty, which was rejected in 2005 by referendums in major European countries. However, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the author of the reform treaty, pointed out: "The substance of the constitution is preserved. That is a fact." This was confirmed by former French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, the author of the constitution, who acknowledged: "The proposals in the original constitutional treaty are practically unchanged.
