This project sheds light on key issues and challenges of European integration. Institutes from all 27 EU member states as well as from Croatia and Turkey participate in the project. The aim is to give a full comparative picture of debates on European integration and current developments in European politics in each of these countries. This survey was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire that has been elaborated in May 2008 by all participating institutes. Most of the 29 reports were delivered in July 2008. This issue and all previous issues of EU-27 Watch (formerly EU-25/27 Watch) are available on the homepage of EU-CONSENT (www.eu-consent.net) and on the internet sites of most of the contributing institutes. Please note the detailed table of content that allows readers to easily grasp key information and headlines of the country reports.

The plan will enable the Commission to ensure that its services in Luxembourg have sufficient size to enable them to operate with a high degree of autonomy and therefore higher efficiency. As the Commission made clear, this was the main objective of the process for consolidating the Institution's presence in Luxembourg launched in 2000. Consolidation will also entail an increase in the number of staff based in Luxembourg, from almost 3000 to 3400 by 2010. Neil Kinnock, Vice-President for Administrative Reform said: "The plan adopted today fulfils the objectives that the Commission set itself when we launched the process of consolidating services in Luxembourg.

  • Das Christliche Menschenbild Und Unsere Politik Beiträge Zum Werteverständnis Der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion
    Das christliche Menschenbild und unsere Politik Beiträge zum Werteverständnis der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion Das christliche Menschenbild und unsere Politik Beiträge zum Werteverständnis der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion Vorwort Das christliche Menschenbild – unsere Richtschnur Politik besteht immer aus der Abwägung von Interessen. Die Entscheidung, welchem Argument letztlich der Vorzug zu geben ist, darf dabei nicht beliebig erfolgen. Als Maßstab dienen nicht zuletzt Werte. Anderenfalls würde Politik orientierungslos. Das Verständ- nis dieser Werte kann sich mit den Jahrzehn- ten wandeln. In ihrem Kern sind Werte aber sicherlich zeitlos. Für die CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion ist seit über sechs Jahrzehnten das christliche Menschenbild die Richtschnur ihres politi- schen Handelns. Wir Abgeordnete werden immer wieder gefragt, was genau darunter zu verstehen ist. Ist die Berufung auf das christ- liche Menschenbild nur eine hohle Phrase? Oder weist es uns nach wie vor den Weg? Die nachfolgenden Beiträge sind als Plädoyers Michael Grosse-Brömer MdB zu verstehen, dass das christliche Menschen- Erster Parlamentarischer Geschäftsführer der CDU/CSU- bild uns weiter leiten sollte. Einen Schwer- Bundestagsfraktion punkt bilden dabei drei Veröffentlichungen unseres Fraktionsvorsitzenden Volker Kauder, der sich seit Jahren auch außerhalb der Fraktion mit dem Thema auseinandersetzt. Mit anderen zusammen hat er die Verteidigung der Religionsfreiheit auf die politische Agenda gesetzt. Mit der Bedeutung der Religionsfreiheit für ihre Arbeit setzen sich in dieser Broschüre auch Entwicklungsminister Gerd Müller sowie unser Stellver- tretender Fraktionsvorsitzender Andreas Schockenhoff auseinander. 2 Vorwort Die Erste Stellvertretende Fraktionsvorsitzende und Vorsitzende der CSU-Landesgruppe, Gerda Hasselfeldt, fragt in ihrem Beitrag, welche Impulse vom christlichen Menschenbild für unsere Gesellschaftspolitik ausgehen. Der Stellvertretende Fraktionsvorsitzende Franz Josef Jung gibt in seinem Beitrag einen Überblick über die Aktivitäten der Fraktion zu dem Thema.
