that her [Merkel’s] influence on the EU will bring about an

that the developing structure of the EU will be one that respects

& Call to Prayer (EURCP)”has two main objectives at this
time:
1) To continue to encourage “First Sunday
in May Prayer for the EU Day” in churches and organizations in the
European Union, and in other parts of the world, as
well. 2) To identify and contact Christian
prayer and intercession leaders, groups and teams in all of the 25 EU
member capitols. We believe we
should encourage these prayer leaders and groups to pray for the national
and the European Union issues which potentially impact the lives and
ministry of individual Christians, churches and ministries across

Effect" Written by Thierry Warin
http://www.newropeans-magazine.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2974&Itemid=110 There are two ways in French to talk about
suburbs: “la banlieue” and “en banlieue.” Say you live in “la banlieue,”
and everybody knows it is in a public housing project. Say you live “en
banlieue,” and it is likely to be outside
In a democratic country, many ways exist to express one’s discontent with the government. By definition, none of them involve violence. So why do some people use violence as a means of protest? Much speculation has taken place in the international press as to the root of the problem. Some believe it is a clash of civilizations, others see it as a religiously rooted problem, still others believe it is a manifestation of a lack of effective integration policies that do not recognize minorities, and some alarmists in Russia even fear that the riots were driven by the CIA. In French national newspapers, the discussion seems to focus on the more pragmatic issue of restoring law and order. When politicians talk about the suburbs, one may infer that they believe it is an immigration issue. Sarkozy ratchets up his challenge to

MANUEL BARROSO, president of the European Commission, is Europe's whipping
boy du jour. Jacques Chirac told him to keep out of the European Union
constitutional debate because he was so unpopular in France.
Before he took office a year ago, the European Parliament made him
reshuffle his commission. A recent cover of a

are two theories over why, as the magazine concludes, “Barroso is
no Jacques Delors”. One is that it is his own fault. He sucks up to
critics (latest example: offering France EU money for riot-torn areas). He
has failed to stop commissioners squabbling (an old-fashioned turf war has
broken out between the competition and enterprise chiefs). The second
theory blames the circumstances. The defeat of the constitution, the euro
area's economic troubles, digestion of ten new members; even the sainted
Mr Delors would not have risen above such things. Moreover, Mr Barroso was
not the first choice of any big country; he was merely the first whom
nobody was ready to veto. Without strong support from at least one big
country, and preferably two or three, no commission president has much
authority. Plan D

In an open and relaxed atmosphere, more than
200 participants coming from European institutions, the world of
communication and journalism, and civil society decided on the topics to
be covered during the workshops which dealt with the following questions:

By Mark Beunderman EUOBSERVER / THE HAGUE - The EU's national parliaments
have struck a deal on stronger oversight of EU law, plotting a scheme that resembles
the "yellow card" procedure foreseen in the EU Constitution. The
bold move was announced by Lord Grenfell, member of the British House of
Lords and current president of the network of member states parliaments,
COSAC, speaking at a parliamentary conference in
The constitution's yellow card provision states that
the European Commission should review a legislative
proposal, if at least one third
of national parliaments send a "reasoned opinion" arguing that the
proposal falls outside the commission's
mandate. No legal framework
The alternative plan
hammered out by national parliaments broadly follows the early warning

.******** A
world-class economy must constantly improve infrastructure and skills to
add value in a competitive world. These things cost money, and the
party that understands the need to reduce taxes should also accept the
obvious conclusion: tuition fees are here to stay, and road users will
have to pay for new roads. When it comes to regulation, we need to go
beyond slogans. We'll never cut
it back unless we challenge the risk-averse culture of modern society and
ask people to accept more responsibility for their lives.
And we
must challenge the culture of the EU. Not just resisting new regulations,
but fighting to end the EU's damaging social role, leaving it to focus on
its real job: making the single market work properly and championing free
trade. Angela Merkel, the CDU leader, is grappling with this issue.
In a recent interview she praised British labour market
flexibility and Eastern European simplified tax regimes. Those who believe that pressure for deeper
