  • Carbon Taxes and Global Warming
    CARBON TAXES AND GLOBAL WARMING HOUSE OF COMMONS LIBRARY Research Paper 93/106 25 November 1993 In recent years the issue of global warming has become of sufficient concern to the international community that the Climate Change Convention was agreed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 and has now been signed by 166 countries. Under the Convention, developed countries, including the UK, must adopt policies aimed at returning carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions to their 1990 levels by the end of the century. Different countries have proposed a variety of methods for reducing CO2 emissions. One of the most popular ideas is the introduction of some type of carbon or energy tax on fuel and the European Community has a well developed proposal for such a tax. Additionally, in March 1993 the UK Government announced the introduction of VAT on domestic fuel and power, justifying the decision partly on environmental grounds. This paper examines the environmental aspects of the introduction of such taxes, and discusses their effectiveness in reducing global carbon dioxide emissions. Further details of VAT on Fuel and Power can be found in Library Research Paper 93/36 (24 March 1993). Information on Carbon Dioxide Targets can also be found in POST Briefing Note 42 (April 1993).

During the latter half of the 20th century, a rising proportion of the European population from mixed socio-economic backgrounds asserted their right to higher education to acquire new skills or to improve them throughout adult life. This met with the full support of the educational authorities which viewed such a development as a catalyst for cultural and economic prosperity.

He will have to read, and consider, and reconsider, and then read some more. Geoffrey Barraclough (1908–1984) The history of ECOO goes back to the year 1960, when very motivated and future-orientated colleagues in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands established the Groupement des Opticiens du Marché Commun (GOMAC). (The six countries were the original member states of the European Economic Community.) Subsequently, the Pan European Group (PEG) of the former International Optometric and Optical League was established. And, then, in 1992, GOMAC and PEG merged to create the European Council of Optometry and Optics (ECOO) of today. During the last five decades ECOO has developed into an organisation representing over 75,000 practitioners in 30 European countries. During our autumn meeting on 22-24 October 2010 in Dresden, ECOO will celebrate the 50th anniversary of European optometry and optics. For that reason I am very proud that ECOO can present in Dresden this short history which describes the last 50 years of our profession in Europe. This booklet was written by ECOO`s General Secretary, Richard Carswell, who has spent a lot of time studying the eventful history of ECOO.

    EURO-//^> A memorandum to strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs in the European Community On 30 September 1993, the Belgian Presidency1 of the Council of the European ¿S Communities made public the main lines of a memorandum about strengthening the competitiveness of the Small and Medium­sized Enterprises (SMEs) of the Commu­ nity in the Internal Market. This memorandum, accompanied by 38 practical recom­ mendations, will be submitted on 11 November 1993 to the 'Internal Market' Council, which will be devoting part of its session to the Community's SMEs, for the first time. The purpose of the memorandum is to enable SMEs, which are the main source of increasing employment, to increase their competitiveness, deal with structural change, and derive maximum benefit from the internal market. With a view to this discussion, which could lead to a Council Resolution being taken, the document suggests that the Council and the Commission should set up an integra­ ted strategy which will improve the synergy between the Community policy in favour Λ of SMEs, and national and regional policies. In the same context, the memorandum <cV proposes that the Community should introduce more systematic consultation prior to action between the European Commission and the organisations representing SMEs, A* at all stages of the decision­making process, and involve these organisations directly in the social dialogue foreseen in the Maastricht Treaty. The memorandum also suggests setting up further accompanying measures to solve structural problems facing SMEs: reducing administrative formalities, increasing access to capital markets for SMEs, and meeting their increasing need for informa­ tion about the opportunities of the internal market, in particular with regard to sub­ contracting, research, public procurement and support for local and regional develop­ ment of SMEs.
