    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.

  • Guide to Equality and the Policies, Institutions and Programmes of the European Union
    Guide to Equality and the Policies, Institutions and Programmes of the European Union Guide to Equality and the Policies, Institutions and Programmes of the European Union By Brian Harvey This document was commissioned by the Equality Authority and the views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the Equality Authority. Preface The European Union has played a valuable role in stimulating and shaping equality strategies in Ireland over the past three decades.The majority of key equality initiatives in Ireland can trace their origins to European Union directives, European case law or European Union action programmes. This influence continues to the present moment. However, innovation and ambition in our new equality legislation – the Employment Equality Act, 1998 and the Equal Status Act, 2000 – and our related equality institutions have changed this situation to one of mutual influencing. Europe now looks to the Irish experience of implementing a multi- ground equality agenda for learning. This publication provides an introductory briefing on approaches to equality at the level of the European Union – focusing on policy, institutions and funding programmes. It seeks to resource those who are engaging with the challenge to shape European Union policy and programmes in relation to equality. It aims to assist those addressing the impact of European Union policy and programmes on Ireland or to draw benefit from this influence. It is a unique document in bringing an integrated nine-ground equality focus to policy and programmes at European Union level.We are grateful to Brian Harvey for this work in drawing all this material together in this format.We are also grateful to Jenny Bulbulia B.L.

Cover photo credits: EIRNS/Stuart Lewis and Philip Ulanowsky INTRODUCTION For the Exoneration of the Most Beautiful Soul in American History by Helga Zepp-LaRouche There is no one in the history of the United States to my knowledge, for whom there is a greater discrep- ancy between the image crafted by the neo-liberal establishment and the so-called mainstream media, through decades of slanders and co- vert operations of all kinds, and the actual reality of the person himself, than Lyndon LaRouche. And that is saying a lot in the wake of the more than two-year witch hunt against President Trump. The reason why the complete exoneration of Lyn- don LaRouche is synonymous with the fate of the United States, lies both in the threat which his oppo- nents pose to the very existence of the U.S.A. as a republic, and thus for the entire world, it system, the International Development Bank, which and also in the implications of his ideas for America’s fu- he elaborated over the years into a New Bretton Woods ture survival.
