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.

  • Advancing Strategic Stability in the Euro-Atlantic Region 2021 and Beyond
    June 2021 STATEMENT BY THE EURO-ATLANTIC SECURITY LEADERSHIP GROUP (EASLG) Prepared for Presidents, Prime Ministers, Parliamentarians, and Publics Advancing Strategic Stability in the Euro-Atlantic Region 2021 and Beyond n one of the best accounts of the lead-up to World War I, the historian Christopher Clark details how a group of European leaders—“The Sleepwalkers”—led their nations into a conflict that none of them wanted. Gripped by nationalism and ensnared by competing interests, mutual mistrust, and Ialliances, they made a series of tragic miscalculations that resulted in 40 million casualties. One of the more sobering aspects of this period was the speed with which events transpired in the summer of 1914, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, in Sarajevo on June 28. The subsequent ultimatums, mobilizations, declarations of war, and finally, war itself unfolded in roughly one month. Leaders of that era found themselves with precious little time for considering their decisions—and the world paid a horrific price. In the Euro-Atlantic region today, leaders face risks of deployments that should cause leaders to reflect on the miscalculation, compounded by the potential for the use of adequacy of the decision time available to them to prevent nuclear weapons, where millions could be killed in minutes. or deescalate a crisis. Emerging technologies such as evasive Do we have the tools to prevent an incident from turning hypersonic missiles or robotic nuclear torpedoes could into unimaginable catastrophe? significantly compress decision-time. When combined with artificial intelligence including machine learning, humans While leaders, governments and publics are strained by may be removed from being “in” or “on” the decision- the developing and constantly changing challenge of the making loop, especially when responding to a perceived or COVID-19 pandemic, there is a growing risk of—and a real attack.

    Foreign Affairs and Economic Relations Foreign Affairs and Economic Relations with Southern Africa Non-Alignment Through diplomacy and pragmatism-but also a mix of compliance and fortune- Sweden managed to stay outside the armed conflicts during both the First and the Second World Wars. As a result, Sweden has enjoyed unbroken peace since 1814, a unique situation in modern world history. Although the roots of neutrality go back to the early 19th century,1 it was with the division of Europe into two blocs after the Second World War that the guiding foreign policy principles of non- alignment were laid down, commonly expressed as 'non-participation in alliances in peacetime, aiming at neutrality in the event of war'. Once established, they were supported by the traditional parliamentary parties and followed during the period covered in the study. It was not until the demise of the Soviet Union and Sweden's membership of the European Union-effective from 1 January 1995-that the basic tenets were questioned and altered.2 Determining Sweden's post-war policy of non-alignment was its geographical and strategic position as a medium-sized country in northern Europe. From an economic point of view, Sweden was closely integrated with the West. Geo- politically, it was at the same time situated at the crossroads between major strategic super-power interests and in the immediate proximity of areas of vital demographic, economic and military importance to both the West and the East. As stated by the Swedish diplomat Sverker Astrtm, being so situated, it stands to reason that Sweden should have two aims, [namely] to avoid coming under the influence of the nearby super-power [and] avoid becoming the menacing outpost of the other.3 1 KristerWallbick: The Roots of Swedish Neutrality, The Swedish Institute, Stockholm, 1986.

Wahlperiode 08. 05. 2001 Antrag der Abgeordneten Volker Rühe, Karl Lamers, Klaus-Jürgen Hedrich, Christian Schmidt (Fürth), Hermann Gröhe, Ruprecht Polenz, Hans-Peter Repnik, Dr. Andreas Schockenhoff, Reinhard Freiherr von Schorlemer, Peter Weiß (Emmendingen) und der Fraktion der CDU/CSU Die strategische Bedeutung der Kaukasus-Republiken Armenien, Aserbaidschan und Georgien politisch umsetzen Der Bundestag wolle beschließen: Der Deutsche Bundestag stellt fest: Die drei südkaukasischen Republiken Armenien, Aserbaidschan und Georgien liegen an einer strategischen Schnittstelle zwischen Europa und Asien. Spätes- tens seit der Aufnahme in den Europarat – Georgien im April 1999, Armenien und Aserbaidschan im Januar 2001 – haben diese Länder ihren festen Platz in der europäischen Staatenfamilie. Zehn Jahre nach Erlangung der Unabhängigkeit sind die drei Republiken aller- dings von ungelösten Sezessionskonflikten, labilen Waffenstillständen, Flücht- lingselend, Verarmung, Abwanderung, im Falle Georgiens zusätzlich von der Erosion staatlicher Macht geprägt. Die Ursachen liegen zum Teil bei den be- troffenen Ländern selbst. Eine Kultur der innerstaatlichen Teilung von Macht, des Minderheitenschutzes, der gewaltfreien Regelung von Konflikten und der sozialen Verantwortung muss erst noch heranreifen. Doch die strukturellen Defizite der Region werden seit Jahrhunderten von den angrenzenden Regionalmächten für eigene Interessen genutzt und instrumenta- lisiert.

Thousands of other books, including many of the most important and unusual, never found their way into my catalogues, having been quickly sold before their descriptions could appear in print. In the last fifteen years, since my Catalogue 100 appeared, many truly exceptional books passed through my hands. Of these, I would like to mention three. The first, sold in 2003 was a copy of the first edition in Latin of the Columbus Letter of 1493. This is now in a private collection. In 2004, I was offered a book which I scarcely dreamed of owning: the Narratio Prima of Rheticus, printed in 1540. Presenting the first announcement of the heliocentric system of Copernicus, this copy in now in the Linda Hall Library in Kansas City, Missouri. Both of the books were sold before they could appear in my catalogues. Finally, the third book is an absolutely miraculous uncut copy in the original limp board wallet binding of Galileo’s Sidereus Nuncius of 1610. Appearing in my Catalogue 178, this copy was acquired by the Library of Congress. This is the first and, probably the last, “personal” catalogue I will prepare.
