We are delighted to welcome all of you to Budapest and to the School of Public Policy at Central European University for the 2017 Annual Meeting of the European Public Choice Society. We are especially pleased to be hosting this important gathering at the University’s new state-of-the-art buildings in downtown Budapest that were inaugurated only last fall. These environmentally sustainable spaces combine the latest technology with attractive design features – including a rooftop garden on the 7th floor that offers spectacular views of Budapest. This year’s EPCS meeting will showcase the interesting research that is taking place at the frontier of the field of public choice. We are also delighted to welcome Catherine De Vries, Gérard Roland, and Jean-Robert Tyran as keynote speakers. We have organized a social program that will feature some of Budapest’s highlights: a Welcome Reception in the Budapest Jewish Quarter, which is home to the Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest synagogue in Europe; a Gala Dinner in an elegantly decorated historic building along the Danube River; and a visit and reception at the world famous Gellért Baths and Hotel. We want to take this opportunity to thank the many people who have provided the invaluable assistance and support that have made this event possible: CEU President and Rector Michael Ignatieff, Provost and Pro-Rector Liviu Matei, SPP Acting Dean Julia Buxton, former SPP Dean Wolfgang Reinicke, and colleagues at the School of Public Policy, the Department of Economics, and CEU’s Central Administration.

    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS’ RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS EU and Member States’ policies and laws on persons suspected of terrorism- related crimes STUDY Abstract This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the European Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE Committee), presents an overview of the legal and policy framework in the EU and 10 select EU Member States on persons suspected of terrorism-related crimes. The study analyses how Member States define suspects of terrorism- related crimes, what measures are available to state authorities to prevent and investigate such crimes and how information on suspects of terrorism-related crimes is exchanged between Member States. The comparative analysis between the 10 Member States subject to this study, in combination with the examination of relevant EU policy and legislation, leads to the development of key conclusions and recommendations.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The cases of nine Polish patients with diagnosed cystic echinococcosis (CE) were examined. A total of nine isolates obtained postoperatively were investigated using PCR and sequencing. The mitochondrial region of nad1 gene was amplified. This PCR and sequencing analysis revealed the presence of Echinococcus canadensis G7 in seven patients and E. granulosus G1 in two patients. These data demonstrate that E. canadensis is the predominant causative agent of human cystic echinococcosis in Poland. E. granulosus G1 detection in Polish patients suggests that the parasite was imported; however it does not exclude the possibility that these cases could have been of Polish origin.

Abstract The development of the Open Method of Co-ordination, agreement on the Lisbon Agenda and EU enlargement offered the prospect of a new and substantial EU social Post-Printpolicy agenda. This paper considers EU social and cohesion policies in the context of the recent negotiation of the EU budget for 2007-2013. We find the Commission’s wish to redistribute EU spending in favour of these policy areas and new member states was thwarted by key political features of EU budget-making: CAP spending levels that are downwardly sticky; institutional arrangements that provide for budget- making as, at best, a zero-sum game; and the preferences of contributor member states in the EU15 to contain overall spending whilst preserving their net budget positions. Questions are thus raised as to the ability of the EU to make any progress, from a budgetary perspective, on the social and cohesion policy agenda in an enlarged EU. Keywords EU social and cohesion policies; Financial Perspectives; EU enlargement; budget constraints 1 Introduction In February 2004, the European Commission presented proposals for a new Financial Perspective for the period 2007-2013 that sought to re-structure EU spending.

The festival was originally held in the town centre’s main square to provide easy access to the town’s residents and visitors. As a result of the festival’s success, its coverage area extended to Drama’s central park adjacent to the town’s main square. It is this convenient location close to the town’s amenities that is seen as one of the festival’s main strengths today. Historically, Drama’s town centre square has been the community’s focal point for social events, regardless of whether these were celebratory or otherwise (e.g.
