Welcome to the European ParliamentThis free-of-charge package contains two brochures and a DVD:

The European Parliament The faces of the European Parliament 2009–11 A day in Europe DVD

What is the European Parliament? Why and how did it come into being? What does it do? What powers does it have and what is its political weight? What new powers has it acquired with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty?

These are of course just some of the questions which might be asked, but in this brochure we will try to give clear and concise answers to them, answers which will show that ultimately the European Parliament is right next door to you, the citizens of Europe, and represents you every day

It comprises three courts: the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal.

In the first part, President Herman Van Rompuy summarises and analyses the main challenges and achievements of the European Council in 2010: preserving the stability of the euro area; creating a new strategy for durable growth and jobs; and strengthening the position of the European Union in the world.

The second part includes the official conclusions of the six European Council meetings and statements by Heads of State or Government.


Internal security strategy for the European Union Towards a European security model

The internal security strategy was adopted under the Spanish Presidency. It is designed to prevent crime and increase the capacity to provide a timely and appropriate response to natural and man-made disasters. This booklet outlines the main challenges for the internal security of the EU and responses to these challenges. The second part describes the development of the European security model.

European cycling lexiconThe lexicon contains key terms for cycling, cycling infrastructure and different types of cycles for different transport needs in 27 languages, including all 23 official languages of the EU.


The Schengen areaSchengen measures provide for the abolition of controls at the internal borders of the Schengen Member States, establish common rules on checks at the external frontiers, provide for a common visa policy and introduce accompanying measures which enable the lifting of the internal border checks (in particular in the field of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters). These rules have thus direct implications for citizens in the area of free movement of people.


Document management in the European Commission Collected decisions and implementing rules

The European Commission attaches great importance to good document management in all its aspects.

This publication brings together all the texts relating to this area in force at the European Commission at the beginning of 2010. The purpose of collecting them in one volume is to make them more readily available and easier to navigate, and thereby to facilitate their application in the daily work of the institution.

Facts and figures on the common fisheries policy 2010 edition

Fish now feature regularly in the European diet. And yet, before they land on our plates, they must pass down a long chain of processes in which many people are involved.

Europe’s fisheries policy has its social, economic and environmental dimensions. The European Fisheries Fund helps us maintain viable fishing communities and give fishermen decent working and training opportunities. The economic and social well-being of our maritime communities is inextricably linked to the well-being of our seas and oceans.

The factory of life Why soil biodiversity is so important

Biodiversity loss and climate change are two of the most pressing challenges of our time, and soil biodiversity is part of the solution to both. Yet it is under constant threat, largely from human activities that we can control. It is our responsibility, therefore, to preserve the quality of soil before it is too late, and before its resident species and their fragile habitats are lost. That is why, at the European Commission, we have put soil at the heart of our thinking.

Women in scienceToday, women are actively participating in science, while the number of women among the world’s top scientists is growing. In fact, the face of modern science would be unrecognisable without the major contributions made by women. This volume shows that, despite the invisibility of women in the historical narrative of mainstream science, science was not always exclusively a man’s world.

EU-MIDIS European Union minorities and discrimination survey Main results report

This is the first-ever EU-wide survey of immigrant and ethnic minority groups’ experiences of discrimination and victimisation in everyday life. Addressing the lack of reliable and comparable data on minorities in many EU countries, it examines experiences of discriminatory treatment, racist crime victimisation, awareness of rights and reporting of complaints.

EU-MIDIS involved face-to-face interviews with 23 500 persons from selected immigrant and ethnic minority groups in all 27 Member States of the European Union. Some 5 000 persons from the majority population were also interviewed to compare the results.

More information on the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights is available through its website (http://fra.europa.eu).

Workplace violence and harassment: a European pictureConcern about the effects of workplace violence and harassment on the health and safety of workers has been growing over the last decade. Both third-party violence and harassment may have extremely negative consequences for the individuals affected and their families, co-workers and organisations, as well as society as a whole.

The report concludes that there is a clear need to promote and disseminate good practice and prevention measures that are sensitive to the national context. Some measures proposed by the European Union, ILO, WHO and national experts are presented in the report.

European guidelines for quality assurance in colorectal cancer screening and diagnosis First edition

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common newly diagnosed cancer in Europe and the second most common cause of cancer deaths. In the 27 Member States of the EU, approximately 330 000 new cases and 150 000 deaths occur each year. Many of these deaths could be avoided through early detection, by making effective use of screening tests followed by appropriate treatment.
