- Agriculture and the environment in the 10 new EU Member States - implications of applying the common agricultural policy
The report describes the current state of agriculture in the 10 new Member States and three candidate countries (Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey), examining trends and drivers of change and their impact on the environment. It also provides assessments of the consequences that the Common Agriculture Policy may have in terms of agricultural management and environment.
- Agriculture in the Europe of 25 portal
This website of the Directorate General for Agriculture is a portal providing up-to-date information on the agricultural situation in the new Member States. Access is given to documents, studies and reports, fact sheets, country information and conference proceedings. This portal takes over the function of the still existing ‘Agriculture and enlargement’ website that will no longer be updated.
- Confederation of European Paper Industries
Based in Brussels, Belgium, the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) represents the interests of the European pulp and paper industry to the European institutions. CEPI provides its members with a forum for exchange of information, an industry consultation process and the build up of common positions. Members include national associations from 19 European countries, representing some 900 companies.
- Economic development agencies: Fostering business champions
In a seminar organised for the members of its Company Network, the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions discussed the role of economic development agencies (EDAs) in fostering business champions. The seminar was held in New Lanark, Scotland (United Kingdom), on 21-22 March 2006. Four EDAs - from the United Kingdom, Denmark, Ireland and Estonia - offered an insight into their strategies for fostering business champions and economic development. Three of the EDAs were joined in their presentations by firms that they had supported.
- European Environment Agency data service
The European Environment Agency (EEA) data service is a compilation of statistics on environmental issues. Its aim is to make available for general use a wide range of data sets, which contain aggregated data, typically on a country level, with a geographical coverage of at least the 15 European Member States. Information about the source of each data set and its geographical and temporal coverage is provided.
- European Environment Agency: Annual report 2000
The annual report provides an overview of the research work carried out by the European Environment Agency (EEA) over the year 2000. Altogether 2000 is considered to be a year of sound progress in its work with two new regular products launched: the 'Environmental Signals 2000' report monitoring progress and prospects over a broad range of environmental issues, and 'TERM 2000'. The latter is the first report to identify key indicators on transport and environmental integration in Europe, established by the Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism (TERM).
- ICT driving change in the fishing industry: A review of the years 1990-2002
In response to economic and environmental pressures, the European fishing industry has undergone a radical transformation over the past 30 years. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have provided the toolkit for regulators to monitor the industry and thereby promote sustainability, and for the industry to streamline the supply chain and hence introduce measures to promote efficiency. This report examines the impact of ICT at three different levels - macroscopic, microscopic on-board and microscopic on-shore - and describes how these technologies have developed and have been applied, and whether they have driven or managed change in the sector.
- Impact of ICT on the fishing industry: Two scenarios
The two scenarios - 'Sustainable eFishing' and 'Troubled waters' - challenge assumptions as to how information and communication technologies (ICT) will impact on the fishing industry across Europe. The question is to what extent the fishing industry will invest in ICT, and how successfully the Common Fisheries Policy will be implemented. After reviewing the methodology used for developing these scenarios, two diametrically opposed scenario contexts explore likely future developments within the fishing industry.
- Milk and milk processing industry in Lithuania: An analysis of horizontal and vertical integration
This paper analyses the evolution of the restructuring and re-orientation processes of the Lithuanian dairy sector, focusing on the two aspects of product quality and chain management. Major developments in production, consumption and foreign trade since the beginning of the 1990s are summarised, tendencies towards vertical and horizontal integration of the milk processing industry segment are reviewed and case studies presented.
- The impact of ICT on Europe’s fishing industry: a case study approach
This report presents the key issues facing the fishing industry today. A series of company case studies provides the backdrop for assessing the role of ICT as a driver of change in the fishing industry. The case studies were selected to reflect a varied range of companies operating in the European fishing industry: from a company that is diversifying its activities in order to remain competitive to a supermarket chain that has brought its knowledge and experience from the retail food sector to bear on the fishing industry. In all cases, ICT has been used in different ways, both as a stand-alone system and as a more sophisticated integrated systems approach.
