MIDDAY EXPRESSNews from the Communication Directorate General's midday briefingNouvelles du rendez-vous de midi de la Direction Générale Communicationb04/03/09[01] Publication du Rapport général sur l'activité de l'Union européenne en 2008La Commission a publié le Rapport général sur l'activité de l'Union européenne consacré à la vie de l'Union en 2008. Parmi les faits marquants de ces douze mois, la crise financière internationale, le changement climatique et plusieurs conflits internationaux ont fait l’objet d’une réaction européenne rapide et efficace, plaçant l’Union au premier rang sur la scène politique mondiale. Le processus de ratification du traité de Lisbonne, ralenti à la suite de la victoire du «non» au référendum irlandais du printemps et relancé lors du Conseil européen de décembre, a constitué l'évènement institutionnel de l'année.[02] Antitrust: Commission adapts nature of monitoring of 2004 Microsoft DecisionThe European Commission has adapted the nature of the technical assistance it receives to facilitate its monitoring of Microsoft's compliance with the Commission's 2004 Microsoft Decision (see <a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/04/382&format=HTML&aged=1&language=EN&guiLanguage=en">IP/04/382 and <a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/04/70&format=HTML&aged=1&language=EN&guiLanguage=en">MEMO/04/70). In light of changes in Microsoft’s behaviour, the increased opportunity for third parties to exercise their rights directly before national courts and experience gained since the adoption of the 2004 Decision, the Commission no longer requires a full time monitoring trustee to assess Microsoft’s compliance. In future, the Commission intends to rely on the ad hoc assistance of technical consultants.Visit to Czech Republic: Danuta Hübner highlights Commission support for competitiveness and jobs in response to crisis Danuta Hübner, European Commissioner for Regional Policy, will be in the Czech Republic on 5-6 March to visit EU-backed projects in the Northeast Region and Central Bohemia, as well as to participate in the European Summit of Regions and Cities in Prague.
