[01] Un nouveau livre de la Commission vise à améliorer la compréhension
de la science par le public européen
La Commission européenne a publié aujourd'hui un livre sur la
communication scientifique. Ce livre, 'Communicating European Research
2005', est l'un des résultats de la conférence de l'année dernière sur
la communication en matière de recherche en Europe. Il se fonde sur les
séminaires, les présentations et les événements auxquels ont participé
des spécialistes de la communication scientifique du monde entier. Avec
des chapitres consacrés notamment à l'actualité scientifique sur
l'Internet, aux moyens de faire publier dans la presse les résultats de
recherches et à la difficulté de montrer l'inconnu et d'en parler, le
livre apporte des informations utiles sur un grand nombre de sujets
importants qui concernent la communication scientifique et plus
généralement la communication à vocation européenne et internationale.
Les bénéficiaires de fonds de recherche communautaires ont l'obligation
de mener des activités qui visent à communiquer au public les résultats
de leurs recherches. Cet aspect restera un élément important du nouveau
programme-cadre de recherche, qui débutera en 2007.
[02] Commission and International Atomic Energy Agency meet to reinforce
mutual cooperation
The High Level Liaison Committee for the implementation of nuclear
safeguards between the European Commission and the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) met yesterday in Vienna to discuss nuclear safeguards.
Parties reviewed principal matters in relation to the implementation of
safeguards in the EU and agreed to strengthen their cooperation on the
basis of their respective roles. This will reinforce the effectiveness of
mutual action, thereby contributing to the highest standards of nuclear
safety, security and non-proliferation and help such high standards to be
observed internationally.
[03] La Commission autorise le projet d'acquisition de Sportfive par
Lagardère
La Commission européenne a autorisé, en vertu du règlement CE sur les
concentrations, le projet d'acquisition de Sportfive Group, société
française exerçant ses activités dans le domaine de la commercialisation
des droits et du marketing sportifs, par Lagardère, autre société
française. La Commission a considéré que l'opération n'entraverait pas
de manière significative une concurrence effective dans l'Espace
économique européen ou dans une partie substantielle de celui-ci.
[04] Air transport in the EU25 : air passenger transport up by 8.5% in 2005
; London/Heathrow processes most passengers ; Frankfurt handles most
freight
In 2005, the total number of passengers transported by air in the EU25 rose
by 8.5% compared to 2004, to more than 700 million. Passenger numbers rose
by 8.8% in 2004 and by 4.9% in 2003. Of these passengers, 23% were carried
on national flights, 42% on intra-EU25 flights and 35% on extra-EU25
flights. London/Heathrow remained the EU's busiest airport in terms of
passengers, handling 68 million in 2005 - nearly 10% of all air passengers
in the EU25 - and up 1% compared to 2004. Paris/Charles de Gaulle (53
million passengers, +5%) and Frankfurt (52 million, +2%) were the second
and third busiest airports, followed by Amsterdam/Schipol (44 million, +4%)
and Madrid/Barajas (42 million, +9%). Passenger numbers rose in almost all
Member States in 2005 compared to 2004. Five Member States recorded growth
of 25% or more, the highest being Latvia (+77%), followed by Slovakia
(+46%), Lithuania (+44%), Estonia (+41%) and Hungary (+25%). The highest
numbers of passengers were registered in the United Kingdom (204 million,
+6% compared to 2004), Germany (146 million, +8%), Spain (144 million,
+11%), France (108 million, +5%) and Italy (88 million, +8%). These figures
and more are published in a recent report from Eurostat on air transport in
the EU, Candidate countries and Iceland, Norway and Switzerland in 2005.
This wide-ranging report also looks in detail at national, intra-EU and
international air transport passengers and freight, as well as the most
important airport pairs, nationally and internationally.
