Financial regulation and implementing rules applicable to the general budget of the European Communities Synoptic presentation And a selection of legal texts relevant to establishing and implementing the budget. Cat. No: KV-76-06-029-EN-C ISBN: 9789279019783 Pagination:405 pages Dimensions: 15 × 21 cm Published:2008 Designed for practical use, this compendium contains the main legal texts which set out the regulatory framework for the management of EU funds, in particular the Financial Regulation and its implementing rules. The Financial Regulation is the European Union's pivotal point of reference for the principles and procedures governing the establishment and implementation of the EU budget and the control of the European Communities'finances. The implementing rules contain detailed and more technical rules, essential for the day to day application of the Financial Regulation. To help the reader, these rules are presented here synoptically, i.e. alongside the Financial Regulation articles they refer to. A review of the financial rules is required at least every three years. This book presents the reviewed Financial Regulation, as amended by the Council in December 2006, and applicable, for most of its provisions, as of May 2007. The new rules provide for the simplification of some unnecessarily cumbersome procedures, improve accountability and financial control and increase the transparency of EU spending.These are crucial elements in the development of a modern, efficient financial management system. For a more complete picture, the reader will also find, in the second part of this book,excerpts from a selection of legal texts which relate to EU financial management. These include selected provisions of the founding treaties, the own resources decisions, and, last but not least, the interinstitutional agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management a document which formalises the multiannual financial framework for the period 2007-13 and the rules for its management in relation to the annual budgetary procedure.

A cannabis reader:global issues and local experiences EMCDDA Monograph Series 8 Vol 1 Cat.

An estimated one in five European adults has tried it at some time in their lives. Over 13 million Europeans have consumed it in the past month. Globally, nearly 50 000 tonnes of cannabis herb or resin are produced for consumption every year. Little wonder, then, that cannabis has become a controversial cultural phenomenon. Through short, sharp insights on a range of cannabis topics, this book is a shortcut for those entering the area for the first time, as well as a synthesis for the more seasoned expert. Aimed at policymakers, sociologists, historians, journalists and those involved in enforcement, this Volume 1 deals with the history of cannabis; events in the United Kingdom in the 1960s and 1970s; recent cannabis developments in the EU’s newer Member States; policy shifts in governmental approaches to cannabis; the cannabis resin trade linking Morocco to Northern Europe; and information on how coffee shops developed in the Netherlands. While some of these articles focus only on smaller pieces of the cannabis puzzle, they provide insights into the many different ways Europe has dealt with cannabis to date. Centred on drug professionals working in the fields of treatment, prevention and healthcare, Volume 2 assesses the impact of cannabis use on health, from an individual perspective and public health perspective; descriptions of contemporary European patterns of cannabis use, from a general population perspective and in terms of adolescent use; and descriptions of treatment demand for cannabis use disorders in Europe. Case-study articles look at the way in which cannabis users perceive their use in Finland; the rise in cannabis treatment demand in Germany and the specific effects of cannabis use on driving. In Volume 1 we can read an autobiographical article on events in the United Kingdom in the late 1960s, recent cannabis developments in the EU's new Member States, the cannabis resin trade linking Morocco to northern Europe, the closure of Pusher Street in the Copenhagen commune of Christiania, and information on how coffee shops developed in the Netherlands. While these articles focus only on smaller pieces of the cannabis puzzle, they provide insights into the many different ways Europe has dealt with cannabis. Price:£19.00

At a time when there is a growing awareness of what our societies introduce into the environment, the reliable detection of potential ecological threats or health damage due to environmental agents has become an important issue. Measures to detect such potential threats are being included in the continuous monitoring of the environment that is becoming increasingly common in many Member States. Price:£15.00

No: TH-AL-09-003-EN-C ISBN: 9789291679911 Pagination: 52 pages Dimensions: 21 × 30 cm Published: 2008 The current economic turmoil may lessen the demand for transport but the transport sector still contributes significantly to rising emissions of greenhouse gases, noise exposure, air pollution, fragmentation of habitats and impacts on wildlife.
