Maintaining a certain level of biodiversity is essential to preserve ecosystemic functions. Conservation of biodiversity is a matter of great importance for the well-being of ecosystems and humans dependent on them. 130 world leaders committed to significantly reduce biodiversity loss before 2010 during the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002. This goal is supported and prioritized by a number of significant policy documents among which are Strategy for Sustainable Development endorsed by EU leaders in Gothenburg in 2001, The Sixth Environment Action Programme and Lisbon Strategy. ; Проект № 2016-2592/001-001, 574826-EPP-1-2016-1-RU-EPPJMO-MODULE, при финансовой поддержке Европейской Комиссии

With the beginning of the year 1999, a further important step towards deeper integration of Europe took place: The European Monetary Union (EMU) was put into force. Undoubtedly, this has, beside other effects, also considerable effects on the economic geography of the integrating area. Possible and probable spatial effects of EMU was the motive to establish an international working group within the ARL-DATAR (Délégati-on à l'Aménagement du Territoire et à l'Action Régionale) cooperation agreement in order to shed some light on these effects. The present volume consists of papers having been elaborated by members of the working group. Considerations are made with regard to - consequences for the regions of a changed relationship in which countries being members of the euro-zone stand to each other, - macroeconomic consequences for regions of their being a member of EMU, - effects of the possible concentration of industrial activities in regions and of trends towards specialisation of regions in certain industries, - effects of EMU using a multiregional general equilibrium model, - distinguishing between static and dynamic effects of the Euro. Based on these deliberations recommendations are formulated and spatial orientated policy conclusions are given even though one fear seems to be unfounded: the aim of territorial cohesion in the EU seems not to be touched systematically by the common currency in a negative way.

The present book invites the reader to rethink some questions raised in EU external relations law in the light of recent developments in the case law of the Court of Justice, from the perspective of the constitutional foundations of the Union. The various chapters invite the reader to take a look at the balance between the specific legal regime for EU external action and the constitutional fundamentals of the EU legal order such as: the principles of conferral, loyalty, and institutional balance, as well as the rule of law, democracy, and fundamental rights protection. The accommodation between specificity and fundamental principles is, thus, a transversal constitutional issue.

My secret hope, before starting reading this book, was to discover some new avenues for reflection that would help to renew the theoretical debate on the European Union (EU). Unfortunately, however, Moravcsik's familiar reader will find only a summary in which the author develops the thesis he has developed over the past decade under the banner of 'liberal intergovernmentalism' (.). ; Mon secret espoir, avant d'entamer la lecture de ce livre, était d'y découvrir quelques nouvelles pistes de réflexion contribuant à renouveler le débat théorique sur l'Union européenne (UE). Mais hélas, le lecteur déjà familier de Moravcsik n'y trouvera qu'une synthèse dans laquelle l'auteur développe les thèses qu'il a élaborées depuis une dizaine d'années sous la bannière de l' "intergouvernementalisme libéral " (.).

The growing human population inevitably entails various challenges associated with the deteriorating ecological situation, decline in public health, depletion of natural resources, increasing the cost of non-renewable energy sources, and food supply problems. Solutions are found via new pharmacological and medical preparations and technologies, food and feed additives and alternative energy sources. The paper briefly overviews the current biotechnologies of using microalgae in the food industry, agriculture and aquaculture, medicine and power production, describes the related technological and economic problems and their practical solutions implemented in the EU countries. ; "Interaction of Environment and Human Health: Experience of the European Union", with the reference number 2016-2592 / 001-001, 574826-EPP-1-2016-1-RU-EPPJMO-MODULE

Viewing global trends and changes that take place in security architecture of Asia-Pacific region, the careful attention is drawn by one of the world largest economic powers, the European Union (EU). The soft power policy of the EU is strongly associated with making economic and financial decisions. However, it is questionable whether the EU has enough potential to influence security policy, especially in such geographically distant regions as Asia and Pacific in which the USA and China are key actors in defence and security. The regional environment and ways of security issues decision-making are analyzed in the paper. The reasons that compound security policy-making for the EU in the region are outlined. Regional treaties and institutions of contemporary security structure are evaluated. The EU potential and major directions of the EU external policies in the region are illustrated. Some opportunities of collaboration in regional security are revealed for the EU and regional middle powers. ; На фоне глобальных процессов и изменений, происходящих в архитектуре безопасности АТР, особое внимание привлекает такой крупный экономический блок, как Европейский союз. Политика «мягкой силы» ЕС прочно ассоциируется с принятием решений в области экономики и финансов, однако имеет ли ЕС потенциал влияния на политику безопасности, особенно в таком удаленном от Европы регионе, как АТР, при участии США и Китая, крупных игроков в сфере обороны и безопасности. В статье анализируется обстановка в регионе и тенденции в решении вопросов обеспечения региональной безопасности. Выявлены причины, осложняющие для Евросоюза реализацию политики безопасности в регионе. Анализируется договорная и институциональная база современной структуры региональной безопасности. Представлен потенциал ЕС и основные направления, по которым ЕС осуществляет внешнеполитическую деятельность в регионе. Оценивается возможность сотрудничества ЕС и средних держав региона по вопросам обеспечения безопасности
