    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.

  • Leipzig Und Die VIA REGIA (Historisches)
    VIA REGIA SCULPTURA Ein europäisches Kunst- und Begegnungsprojekt Leipzig und die via regia Historisches Zusammenstellung Prof. Manfred Straube seite 14 VIA REGIA SCULPTURA Ein europäisches Kunst- und Begegnungsprojekt Straßen entstehen durch wirtschaftliche Notwendigkeiten zum Austausch von Gütern zwischen Produktionszentren und Konsumtionszentren. Ihre Bedeutung steht also im engen Zusammenhang mit der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung in den verschiedenen Regionen. Zugleich entwickeln sich die Straßen zu wichtigen Transferlinien für den kulturellen Austausch. Daraus erklärt sich, dass die Straßenverbindungen innerhalb West- und Zentraleuropas schon im frühen Mittelalter außerordentlich eng waren und wesentlich zum wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Aufschwung beitrugen. Demgegenüber gab es erst im 10. Jahrhundert Beziehungen nach Mittelosteuropa. die erstmals 1215 via regia (Königsstraße) genannte Straße ist die älteste und bedeutsamste Landverbindung zwischen Mittelosteuropa und Zentral- und Westeuropa, ihre Anfänge sind im einzelnen nicht zu belegen, reichen aber bis in das 10.Jahrhundert zurück. neben einer slawischen Siedlung wird die 1015 erstmals genannte urbs Libzi (der Ort bei den Linden) errichtet. am Kreuzungspunkt der via regia mit der später so genannten via imperii (Reichsstraße), die aus dem hansischen Raum nach Franken (»ins Reich«) führte, entstand am Brühl ein Straßenmarkt. Graf Konrad von Wettin leitete die Salzstraße von Halle nach Böhmen und Polen die bisher nördlich bei Taucha an der Stadt vorbeiführte , durch Leipzig und richtete hier eine Salzniederlage ein. bereits um die Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts entwickelte sich Leipzig zu einem überörtlichen Handelszentrum, wie der sog. Stadtbrief (zwischen 1156 und 1170) beweist, nach dem im Umkreis von einer Meile kein der Stadt schädlicher Markt abgehalten werden durfte. in der Folge wurde in der Nähe der Nikolaikirche eine Kaufmannssiedlung errichtet und damit die Kreuzung der beiden Fernstraßen nach Osten verschoben, Schnittpunkt waren nun die (späteren) Reichs- und die Grimmaische Straße.

    THE BROTHERHOOD OF ST JAMES IN WIĘCŁAWICE STARE THE MAŁOPOLSKA WAY OF ST JAMES (SANDOMIERZ–WIĘCŁAWICE STARE– CRACOW–SZCZYRK) GUIDE BOOK Kazimiera Orzechowska-Kowalska Franciszek Mróz Cracow 2016 1 The founding of the pilgrimage centre in Santiago de Compostela ‘The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you”’ (Gen 12:1). And just like Abraham, every Christian who is a guest in this land journeys throughout his life towards God in ‘Heavenly Jerusalem’. The tradition of going on pilgrimages is part of a European cultural heritage inseparably connected with the Christian religion and particular holy places: Jerusalem, Rome, and Santiago de Compostela, where the relics of St James the Greater are worshipped. The Way of St James began almost two thousand years ago on the banks of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Tiberias). As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people’. At once they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. (Matthew 4:18‒22) Mortal St James The painting in Basilica in Pelplin 2 The path of James the Apostle with Jesus began at that point.

It demonstrates how the Parliament fulfilled key functions in the process of constitutionalization of the present-day European Union. These functions included defining a set of criteria for effective and democratic governance, developing legal concepts such as subsidiarity, and pressurising the Member States into accepting greater institutional deepening and more powers for the Parliament in the Single European Act and the Maastricht Treaty.
