Canadean Report on Responsible Marketing of Alcoholic Beverages in Europe - April 2005 This report focuses primarily on the self-regulatory and regulatory environment in 30 countries. The findings of this report reveal that substantial progress has been and continues to be made within the brewing industry, not only in EU 15 Member States but also within the new Members. Advertising Latest news & interviews Scientists' appeal for basic research in Europe Forty-four European organisations representing several hundred thousand researchers in all scientific disciplines are calling on research ministers to establish a European Research Council (ERC) with a budget that corresponds to socio-economic expectations.  Descartes Prize rewards innovative science communication The EU Descartes Prize for communicating science promotes projects aiming to bring science closer to the citizens. The 2005 prize nominees were announced together with the results of the latest 'science and society' Eurobarometer surveys. LinksDossiers i2010 On 1 June 2005, the Commission launched a five-year strategic action plan to follow up the eEurope 2005 plan. The plan focuses on those parts of information and communication technologies that the Commission considers vital to the overall objective of boosting innovation and jobs. The key approach the Commission has chosen to achieve these goals is convergence, namely of content and infrastructure industries. IPR - Intellectual Property Rights In service/knowledge-based economies such as those of the EU, protecting intellectual property rights (IPR) is considered essential by many businesses in their pursuit of innovation and competitiveness. The Commission implicitly favoured this approach when it tabled a proposal on the enforcement of IPR in January 2003. The proposal aimed primarily at preventing counterfeiting and piracy, which cause increasing amounts of damage to businesses while at the same time harmonising legislation throughout the EU Member States. However, now it has been adopted, the directive is raising concern among consumer organisations and civil liberties groups who claim universities, internet providers and ordinary people could end up being prosecuted. We're all for reducing emissions. Energy Efficiency  View message -  View our Energy Challenges film  - Learn more about Energy Efficiency Esso - Taking on the world's toughest energy challenges.
