The Word to pray [1 Timothy 2: 1
"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all
who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and reverence." [Prayers that implement God’s Word]. John 15: 5 “I am the
vine, you are the branches. He who ABIDES in Me, and I in him, bears much
fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If you ABIDE in Me, and My Words ABIDE in
you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” [The
conditions for freedom] 2Chronicles
7:14” if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray
and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

State aid in the new member states
>> www.euractiv.com/Article?tcmuri=tcm:29-129629-16&type=LinksDossier&_lang=EN
The EU's
regime for state aid aims to prevent member states from protecting or promoting
companies to the detriment of competitors within the EU. The underlying goal is
to guarantee an undistorted single market and to boost competitiveness. The ten
new member states have to comply with the existing EU laws (the 'acquis') but some transition periods have been agreed
during the negotiations.
The EU's new neighbours

The EU is in the process of
drawing up a coherent policy framework for its new neighbourhood.
