C 52 E/120 Official Journal of the European Union EN 6.3.2003 No link can be made between repeal (should it occur) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture and the two Council Regulations (EEC) No 1275/94 and (EC) No 685/95 of 27 March 1995 on fishing effort management for certain Community areas and resources, since these two Regulations constitute specific arrangements adopted in the context of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal. (2003/C 52 E/136) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2021/02 by Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL) to the Council (9 July 2002) Subject: Seville summit Bearing in mind the free movement of persons within the European Union enshrined in the Treaties, and the rights of citizens freely to express their opinions, including the right to demonstrate peacefully, specifically during European Council meetings, can the Commission answer the following questions: Do the events during the recent summit in Seville, when the Spanish police prevented hundreds of Portuguese citizens from entering the country, including delegations from the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP), Left Bloc (BE) and NGOs intending to travel to Seville to take part in the demonstration on 22 June, mean that only capital now enjoys unrestricted freedom of movement? Will application of the Schengen Agreement be suspended for all summits from now on, thereby calling into question the right to demonstrate freely at European Union level? (2003/C 52 E/137) WRITTEN QUESTION E-2028/02 by Camilo Nogueira Román (Verts/ALE) to the Council (9 July 2002) Subject: Shameful violation of civil and political rights and physical aggression against Portuguese citizens prompted by a Spanish Government decision Policemen belonging to the Guardia Civil prevented a number of buses carrying Portuguese passengers from crossing the Spanish border at Rosal de Frontera in Huelva on 22 June. The latter were travelling to Seville to take part in a demonstration to be held during the European Council meeting. The policemen went so far as to assault two members of the Left Bloc political party, one of them a Portuguese Member of Parliament. The violation of civil and political rights suffered by the Portuguese citizens was aggravated by the fact that they were trying to take part in a legitimate political event being held in the territory of the Union of which they are citizens and the fact that the policemen were acting in response to an order issued by the Spanish Government itself, which at that moment was chairing the EU in the person of the Prime Minister José Maria Aznar. This Galician MEP shares the shame of the Galicians and citizens of Spain at this action on the part of central government and the indignation of the Portuguese population, the Members of the Portuguese Parliament and the Portuguese Government, and condemns such aggressive and anti-democratic behaviour. What explanation can the Council give for such shameful acts on the part of the Spanish presidency? What reparation will it offer those who were assaulted and Portugal’s institutions?.

The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) Is an Anti-Israel, Pro-Hamas Umbrella Organization Which Participated in the Mavi Marmara Flotilla
The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center October 5, 2010 The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) is an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas umbrella organization which participated in the Mavi Marmara flotilla. The ECESG is currently involved in organizing an upgraded flotilla, and in other projects to further isolate Israel, part of the campaign to delegitimize it. The Sfendoni 8000, the ECESG's vessel in the Mavi Marmara flotilla. The number refers to the 8000 Palestinian terrorists detained by Israel. 253-10 2 Overview 1. The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) is an anti-Israel, pro Hamas umbrella organization operating in Europe. It participated in the last flotilla (which ended with a violent confrontation aboard the Mavi Marmara) along with a coalition of four other anti-Israel organizations led by the Turkish IHH. Since then the ECESG and the other coalition members have been intensively promoting new programs with the objective of embarrassing Israel and deepening its isolation. The coalition projects include an upgraded flotilla which has been organizing for several months as Freedom Fleet 2 (its organizers hope to include more than 20 ships from various countries), and sending a plane to the Gaza Strip. 2. The ECESG was founded in 2007, the same year as Hamas' violent takeover of the Fatah and Palestinian Authority institutions in the Gaza Strip. Its declared objectives are "the complete lifting" of the so-called Israeli "siege" of the Gaza Strip and bringing humanitarian assistance to its residents. However, beyond that goal, which is supported by Western human rights organizations and activists, lie hidden its undeclared political objectives.

The Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL)1 continued to reiterate its message that the answer to this crisis was not the imposition of even greater austerity but more policies that put the interests of ordinary people above those of bankers, shareholders and the financial elite. Among the measures devised by the EU institutions to counter the crisis was the creation of yet another Treaty, the so-called Fiscal Compact, to ensure greater stability, coordination and governance in economic and monetary union; the European Semester, a mechanism whereby member states are asked at six-monthly intervals to align their budgetary and economic policies with the objectives and rules agreed at EU level; structural reform of the EU banking sector as well as steps towards the creation of a Banking Union.

Weighted Metrics on Tangent Sphere Bundles
Weighted metrics on tangent sphere bundles R. Albuquerque∗ November 10, 2018 Abstract Natural metric structures on the tangent bundle and tangent sphere bundles SrM of a Riemannian manifold M with radius function r enclose many important unsolved problems. Admitting metric connections on M with torsion, we deduce the equations of induced metric connections on those bundles. Then the equations of reducibility of T M to the almost Hermitian category. Our purpose is the study of the natural contact structure on SrM and the G2-twistor space of any oriented Riemannian 4-manifold. Key Words: tangent sphere bundle, metric connection, complex, symplectic and con- tact structures.

It is today well established that any oriented Riemannian 4-manifold M gives rise to a canonical G2 structure on S1M. This was discovered in [7, 9, 10] partly recurring to twistor methods; so we call it the G2-twistor bundle of M.

GUE/NGL) to the Commission
C 84 E/636 Official Journal of the European Union EN 3.4.2004 (2004/C 84 E/0715) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0607/04 by Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (27 February 2004) Subject: Seasonal work The freedom of movement within the EU has been providing EU citizens looking for work with a great degree of mobility. Today, thousands of workers emigrate in order to take advantage of job shortages in seasonal work sectors, particularly in agriculture. Through the press and workers’ associations, I frequently hear of situations in which seasonal workers have been recruited under false pretences and find themselves facing unacceptable working and living conditions, without any legal or social protection. Given that this situation has existed for many years, is there any Community legislation to regulate work of this kind? What measures has the Commission been taking or does it intend to take to protect the rights and interests of seasonal workers? Answer given by Mr Dimas on behalf of the Commission (7 April 2004) Community legislation governing working conditions applies in the same way to seasonal workers as to other workers. Depending on the precise context in which a seasonal worker is employed, he will be covered either by the provisions of Directive 96/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1996 concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services (1), or by Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of the Council of 15 October 1968 on freedom of movement for workers within the Community (2).

A Tour of the European Electoral Campaigns in View of the European Elections (4Th-7Th June 2009)
A tour of the European Electoral Campaigns in view of the European Elections (4th-7th June 2009) Author: Corinne Deloy, author of the European Elections Monitor (EEM) for the Robert Schuman Foundation and project manager at the Institute for Political Studies (Sciences Po). Germany Date of the election: 7th June (regional and local by-elections on the same day) Number of MEPs to be elected: 99 2009 is a super electoral year for the Germans, who within one year, will have to vote in general, regional, local, European and even the presidential elections (23rd May next by parliament). On 7th June, the day of the European election, local elections will also take place in the Länder of Bavaria, Saxony and Rhineland-Palatinate. 64 million Germans are being called to ballot including 4.3 million who will be voting for the first time. Turn out will be the greatest challenge to rise to as in all of the other European countries. According to a survey for the European institutions, only 44% of the Germans are aware that the European Parliament will be elected this year and 43% say they will go and vote. 31 political parties and associations are submitting themselves to the citizens’ judgment, a first in the country’s history. The most important of these groups are Die Linke (Left Party) whose list is being led by Lothar Bisky, the SPD (Social Democratic Party) led by Martin Schulz, chair of the European Socialists’ group in the European Parliament since 2004, die Grünen (the Greens) led by Rebecca Harms and Reinhard Bütighofer, the FDP (Liberal Democratic Party) led by young economist Silvana Koch-Mehrin, the CDU (Christian Democratic Union) led by present president of the European Parliament Hans- Gert Pöttering and the CSU (Social Christian Union) led by Martin Ferber.
