All rights reserved. 1 | 18 European Parliament Elections 2014 1.0 Introduction This briefing is part of DeHavilland EU’s Foresight Report series on the 2014 European elections and provides a preliminary overview of the candidates standing in the UK for election to the European Parliament in 2014. In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences. -

The result is described as historic and lays a foundation for an entirely new fisheries management, which will protect and improve the marine environment, the fish stocks and the profitability of the fishermen. BalticSea2020 has met three parliamentarians from Fish for the Future, who talks about their views on the new Common Fisheries Policy, which comes into force early next year. “I am very happy with the results.

É tempo de fechar este ciclo e agradecer pelos tão apelidados “melhores anos das nossas vidas”. É tempo de começar de novo. Num lugar diferente. Longe vão os tempos em que os corredores de “Jornalismo” eram a nossa casa. Ao fim de cinco anos penso que somos mais e melhores pessoas, mais e melhores estudantes e espero que nos ajude a ser mais e melhores profissionais. A verdade é que nada disto seria possível sem o acompanhamento de familiares, amigos e, claro, professores. Um primeiro agradecimento ao meu orientador, Professor Doutor Paulo Faustino. Um agradecimento aos professores que ao longo do curso acompanharam o meu percurso académico. Em especial aos professores Rui Novais, Milan Rados, Helena Lima, Ana Côrte-Real, Sandra Sá Couto. Um enorme obrigada aos meus amigos que já caminhavam comigo quando entrei na faculdade e àqueles que conheci quando o Porto me acolheu e que rapidamente se tornaram tão próximos e companheiros de vida. Um obrigada especial a Inês Pedroso, pelas horas infinitas que passámos juntas e por todos os trabalhos que juntas realizámos.
