Following an EU Council Joint Action of 20 July 2001, it is now an integral part of the new structures n° that will support the further development of the CFSP/ESDP. The Institute’s core mission is to provide n° analyses and recommendations that can be of use and relevance to the formulation of the European security n° and defence policy. In carrying out that mission, it also acts as an interface between European experts and decision-makers at all levels. Bo Chaillot Papers are monographs on topical questions written either by a member of the ISS research team or by outside authors chosen and commissioned by the Institute. Early drafts are normally discussed at a semi- nar or study group of experts convened by the Institute Each year the Core Documents series provides the Institute’s readers with as inclusive a reference work as possible on the EU’s decisions and actions in the field of security and defence. Chaillot Papers are also acces- sible via the Institute’s Website: www.iss-eu.org CorDocEN-Text.qxp 28/03/2006 15:42 Page 1 Chaillot Paper March 2006 n°87 EU security and defence Core documents 2005 Volume VI Institute for Security Studies European Union Paris CorDocEN-Text.qxp 28/03/2006 15:42 Page 2 Institute for Security Studies European Union 43 avenue du Président Wilson 75775 Paris cedex 16 tel.: +33 (0)1 56 89 19 30 fax: +33 (0)1 56 89 19 31 e-mail: [email protected] www.iss-eu.org Director: Nicole Gnesotto © EU Institute for Security Studies 2006.

  • Economic Relations Between the European Union and Sub-Saharan Africa
    Kamil Zajączkowski* ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Abstract Th e changes which have been taking place in the European Communities/European Union and on the African continent make it necessary to search for new principles and forms of legal and political relations between the EC/EU and Africa. Th e EU’s international activities towards Sub- Saharan Africa are driven by underlying political and economic interests, common to member states of the EU, which are oft en parallel to the colonial past of many of those countries. Th ese activities also confi rm the role of integrated Europe as a global actor of international relations. Since the fi rst decade of the 21st century, African countries have been experiencing a stable and systematic economic growth. Despite many unsolved development problems, Africa is becoming an attractive partner in global economy, especially the Sub-Saharan part. Th is dynamism of the African economy determines the trade relations with the EU as well. Further in this article, we will discuss the economic cooperation between the regions as well as the legal and institutional framework regulating the relations between them. Keywords: Sub-Saharan Africa, the European Union, economic growth, emerging markets, trade relations Introduction In the early 21st century, Africa is undergoing a considerable and deep economic transformation. In the last decade, the African continent achieved a highly dynamic economic growth, with economic growth rate twice as high as in developed countries. Studies show that in the coming years, global economic growth will be increasingly * Centre for Europe, University of Warsaw; [email protected] 210 Kamil Zajączkowski generated by emerging economies and developing countries.

  • 1 Chapter 17. Luxembourg Serge Kollwelter 1. Introduction During The
    1 Chapter 17. Luxembourg Serge Kollwelter 1. Introduction During the last century, migration has largely contributed to the economic and social development of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg . In 2006, Luxembourg’s population amounts to 450,000, with foreigners counting up to 38% of the total population. Most of them are citizens of the EU Member States, while only 5% come from third countries. The implicit and very effective policy which has been carried out by the authorities was centred on accepting almost only white, catholic, European immigrants. The active population comprises 38% of people crossing the border each day from France, Belgium and Germany. 36% of these are Luxembourgers while and 26 % are foreigners. The unemployment rate over the last 20 years has been approximately 2 to 3 %, having risen up to 5 % in the beginning of 2006. In the Grand - Duchy immigration is a triple challenge : it is necessary for economic growth, no demographic survival without it and democracy’s deficit is questioned by it. 2. Major developments in immigration policy in the last 15 years The last quarter of the 20th century was a period of almost full employment and saw the creation of many new jobs, as well as an increase in the active population. 2 There was no real debate on immigration: it merely took place, and it was perceived as a "win/win" situation. The only discourse present, was regarding the successful and smooth integration everybody was supposed to achieve. Indeed, there was no explicit policy regarding immigration. The Law on the entry and residence of foreigners was passed in 1972, and only a few minor changes have taken place since then.
