Due to the sensitivity of the sub- jects discussed, the American experts who were being consid- ered for posts in the incoming administration decided against speaking at the EUWF. This report represents a summary of the discussions held over the course of two days. Some of the key debates focused on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Russia, and Global Governance. The re- port also includes summaries of the discussions of the three working groups (written respectively by EUISS Research Fel- lows Sabine Fischer, Jean Pascal Zanders and Esra Bulut): ‘Man- aging Unresolved Conflicts in Europe: Lessons from Georgia’, ‘Non-proliferation and arms control’, and ‘The Middle East: The Regional Dimension of the Arab-Israeli Question.’ We have re- frained from attributing particular views and ideas expressed during the event to individual speakers, but the programme and the list of participants are attached as an appendix at the end of the report.

Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. This paper reviews the history of the introduction of the Estonian kroon under a currency board arrangement. On June 20, 1992, Estonia became the first country from the former Soviet Union to abandon the Russian ruble and introduce its own currency, The paper looks at the factors behind this decision and discusses the implementation of the currency reform. It then assesses the economic impact of the reform and also compares Estonia's experience with that of its Baltic neighbors, It concludes that although the currency board arrangement made an important contribution to the early success of Estonia's economic stabilization and reform program, the underlying financial and structural policies were crucial for that success, JEL Classification Numbers: E63, E65. Keywords: currency reform, exchange arrangements, currency board, transition to market economy.

Erste Auswirkungen der Tonnagesteuer Die noch in der vergangenen Wahlperiode verabschiedete Besteuerung von Seeschiffen nach der Tragfähigkeit (Tonnagesteuer) wurde durch den Durch- führungserlass des Bundesministeriums der Finanzen im Jahre 1999 handhab- bar gemacht. Damit wurde eine langjährige Forderung der deutschen Reeder- schaft erfüllt. Es war und ist Sinn und Zweck der Tonnagesteuer, den Seeschifffahrtsstandort Deutschland international wettbewerbsfähig zu halten und so einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Stärkung des maritimen Wirtschaftsnet- zes zu leisten. Insbesondere sollte die Tonnagesteuer die Tendenz zum Ausflag- gen aus den deutschen Schiffsregistern stoppen. Die Auswirkungen der Tonna- gesteuer sind in diesem Sinne für die maritime Verbundwirtschaft von großer Bedeutung. Wir fragen deshalb die Bundesregierung: 1. Wie viele Schiffe haben seit Einführung der Tonnagesteuer, wie viele seit Veröffentlichung des Einführungserlasses für die Tonnagesteuer optiert? 2. Erwartet die Bundesregierung weitere Entscheidungen zu Gunsten der Ton- nagebesteuerung aus dem Bestand oder aus dem Neubau? 3. Wie hat sich der Schiffsbestand des deutschen Erst- und Zweitregisters seit Einführung der Tonnagesteuer entwickelt? 4. Kann die Bundesregierung seit der Einführung der Tonnagebesteuerung Auswirkungen auf die Schiffsfinanzierung und Eignerstruktur feststellen, und wenn ja, mit welcher Tendenz? 5. Sieht die Bundesregierung in den steuerlichen Regelungen zur Tonnagebe- steuerung nach ersten Erfahrung Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten? 6.
