This paper aims to give a comprehensive picture of the objectives and perspectives behind the creation of the Central European Initiative (CEI). It also analyzes the role of CEI in the political, economic and social transition in the post-Socialist states. The article studies how CEI helped the integration of the Central European countries to the Western institutions, especially to the European Union (EU). The cooperation was founded in 1989 by Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Yugoslavia. It was unique and special in the era, as it had member states from totally different political and economic blocks. There are more approaches to explain the creation of this cooperation. According to the Liberal one, the founder states wished to create a flexible platform for the cooperation of countries from different blocks. This was also a political initiative to overcome on the divisions of bipolarity and the Cold War. The laid down political objectives in the official documents included the values represented by the European institutions. These values were adopted by the post-Socialist states. At the project level, the initiatives of CEI indirectly contributed to the economic and social transition in these countries. CEI and EU progressively built their close relations, and the support of EU integration became the mission of CEI. If we study the EU accessions in the region, we can state, CEI had a successful and important role in bringing closer the post-Socialist states to the EU.

The worldââ'¬â"¢s largest rabbit meat producer (460.000 tons in 2004) and exporter (6.397 tons) is China but their import is negligible. Italy is Europeansââ'¬â"¢s leading producer (second of the world: 222.000 tons). Italyââ'¬â"¢s rabbit meat import was the largest worldwide between 1990 and 1994 but in 2004 it was at the 4th position (2.320 tons). With its decreasing import the export is increasing and it reached 6.231 tons in 2003. Spain is at the second position in the European production (100.610 tons in 2004). With the increasing production it is among the top five countries in export (4.629 tons in 2004) but its import is small (441 tons in 2004). The largest importer country is Germany (7.589; 4.958 and 4.487 tons in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively). Its production was between 33.000 and 34.000 tons (between 1990 and 2004) but the export was small. The Netherlands is among the five countries that are exporting the largest amount of rabbit meat. They owned the first position (8.940 tons in 1998; 11.187 tons in 2001) then the second position (3.574 tons in 2004) after China. Hungary is at the 10th position in rabbit production (7.500 tons in 2004) and the country is among the leading exporters having the second-third place of the world (5.391 tons in 2004) but the country has no import at all. ; A világon Kína állítja elő a legtöbb nyúlhúst (2004-ben 460.000 tonna), ők exportálják a legnagyobb mennyiséget (6.397 tonna), de importjuk jelentéktelen. Európa első, a világ második legnagyobb termelője Olaszország (222.000 tonna 2004-ben). 1990 és 1994 között még ők importálták a legtöbb nyúlhúst, de 2004-ben már csak a 4. helyen álltak (2.320 tonna). Az import csökkenésével egyidejűleg nő az exportjuk, ami 2003-ban 6.231 tonnát ért el. Spanyolország Európában a második legnagyobb termelő (2004-ben 100.610 tonna). A termelésük növekedésével már a legtöbbet exportáló öt ország között vannak (2004-ben 4.629 tonna), de importjuk alacsony (2004-ben 441 tonna). A világon Németország importálja a legtöbb nyúlhúst (2002, 2003 és 2004-ben 7.589, 4.958 és 4.487 tonna). Termelésük 1990-től 33.000 és 34.000 tonna közötti, de kis mennyiséget exportálnak (2002, 2003 és 2004-ben 365, 305 és 173 tonna). Hollandia az öt legtöbb nyulat exportáló ország között található: 1998 (8.490 tonna) és 2001 (16.125 tonna) között az első helyen álltak, 2004-ben a másodikok (3.574 tonna). Ugyanakkor nagy mennyiségű nyúlhúst exportálnak, 2004-ben (8.716 tonna) és 2001- ben (11.187 tonna) Kína után a második helyet foglalták el. Magyarország termelésben a világon a 10. helyen áll (2004-ben 7.500 tonna), egyúttal a fő exportáló országok között a 2. és 3. helyet foglaljuk el (2004-ben 5.391 tonna), de egyáltalán nem importálunk nyulat.
