Description: More information: http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/video_prod_en.cfm?type=detail&prodid=817&src=1 Today the European Union has the most environmentally-friendly arsenal of rules in the world and has done more to tackle pressing ecological problems, such as climate change, than any other major power. But it has not always been like this. Caring for the environment did not feature in the Treaty of Rome, the document that gave birth to the modern day EU. Yet environmental problems were never far away. Europe's love affair with the car was moving into top gear, industry was busy belching out pollutants and raw sewage was being pumped into our rivers and seas.

Pothila ::: Favorites EEC subsidises fisheries at vast expense - no implementation of scientific quotas in Fishing practices, responsible for extirpation of fish in African waters through fishiing concessions, second only to Japan if not worse in abusing the worlds marine fisheries. Unaccountable to anyone, least of all the fish. Shame on your subsidies, bycatch and destruction of the bluefin tuna. 07-08-08 18:29:28 _____________________________________________________
