| | UNSWLAW : European Law Centre |
 | | Notwithstanding the enormous importance of Europe to Australia's past present and future, the European Law Centre is the first institution of its type outside Europe and the United States and is thus the only Southern Hemisphere counterpart to a growing number of similar centres of scholarship. | | | The European Union is of comparable economic and political importance to countries in those regions, and the European Law Centre at UNSW will be of assistance to scholars and students wishing to develop or extend their study of European law. | | | The development of European Community Law has also led to an increasing exchange of ideas between the common law and civil law traditions, and has added a very practical dimension to comparative legal studies. |

| | Until the end of the fifteenth century the European trader had no direct contact with the sources of these precious commodities; the supply of them was scanty and the price high. | | | Ever since the first appearance of the Dutch, the English, and the French in these regions, Northern India had formed a consolidated empire ruled from Delhi by the great Mogul dynasty; the shadow of its power was also cast over the lesser princes of Southern India. | | | Thus, in these first English settlements, the deliberate encouragement of varieties of type was from the outset a distinguishing note, and the home authorities neither desired nor attempted to impose a strict uniformity with the rules and methods existing in England. |

| | THE FINANCING OF TRANS-EUROPEAN TRANSPORT NETWORKS: Full text |
| | However, the trans-European network concept was endorsed in the wording of the Maastricht Treaty, of which it forms an important policy, although the application of this policy to training was lost during the transition to the 'constitutional' level, probably because the concept of network is now associated primarily with infrastructure. | | | The trans-European network is the sum total of the infrastructures which permit interoperability between modes and which must, therefore, conform to common specifications or guidelines defining the architecture of the network | | | As the creation of trans-European networks coincides with a period of scarce public resources, the public works contract does not appear to be a suitable instrument, since it does not resolve the fundamental problem of financing. |

| | European Union 7 Days History |
| | On 28 November 1995, the 15 European Union countries and 12 countries with seaboards on the southern Mediterranean established a partnership which should eventually lead to the setting up of a free-trade area, flanked by agreements for cooperation in the social, cultural and human spheres. | | | The 1992 Treaty on European Union sets the objective and lays down the procedures for a common foreign and security policy (CFSP), stipulating that it will eventually lead to a common defence policy. | | | The Community pillar is run according to the traditional institutional procedures and governs the operations of the Commission, Parliament, the Council and the Court of Justice; basically, it involves managing the internal market and the common policies. |

| | Traditional ownership of land—native title—was not recognised until the High Court case Mabo v Queensland (No 2) overturned the notion of Australia as terra nullius at the time of European occupation. | | | The Dutch adjectival form Australische ("Australian," in the sense of "southern") was used by Dutch officials in Batavia to refer to the newly discovered land to the south as early as 1638. | | | After sporadic visits by fishermen from the north and by European explorers and merchants starting in the 17th century, the eastern half of the continent was claimed by the British in 1770 and officially settled as the penal colony of New South Wales on 26 January 1788. |

| | Three southern European countries were allowed to join once they installed democratic governments—Greece in 1981, Spain and Portugal in 1986. | | | In 1988, with European integration gathering momentum, the governments of the EC member states appointed a committee, chaired by Jacques Delors, president of the European Commission, to study the feasibility of complementing the single market with a single currency. | | | Today it is conventional to refer to the European Community (aka the EC or the Community) in the singular, whether one means the Economic Community or all three initiatives. |

| | Learning the Lessons of the European Union's Failed Middle East Policies - Gerald M. Steinberg |
| | For example, the papers and studies on Middle East issues produced by the European Union Institute for Security Studies generally ignore or greatly understate the impact of terror attacks on Israel, the long-range threats to Israeli security and national survival, and the tension in southern Lebanon. | | | For example, in the Challiot Papers series published by the official European Union Institute for Security Studies (formerly under the aegis of the Western European Union), the first analysis of these issues was not published until July 2003, and repeated much of the conventional wisdom rather than presenting an independent and in-depth examination. | | | Furthermore, the EU's inability to contribute seriously to establishing and maintaining security, and the European perspective in which peace, security, and deterrence remain largely unconnected, were among the factors that proved counter-productive in the Oslo negotiation process. |

| | White (people) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Growing numbers of White nationalist groups in the United States, however, have now accepted Southern Europeans and Eastern European peoples as White, considering that the blonde-hair and blue-eyed type in the Eastern European, northern Spanish and the northern Italian region especially is proportionally large. | | | Ever since the era of European expansion, and especially since the 19th century, most Europeans have come to see most other Europeans as White (although certain Southern and Eastern groups are sometimes considered non-White by other Europeans). | | | In the US, White consciousness was first encouraged to help maintain a caste system and control of labor; then when expansion of the in-group became politically desirable in the early 20th century as a result of mass politics, the definition of White was widened to include Southern and Eastern Europeans. |

| | First and most important, European security in the Mediterranean should be based on the implementation of policies of cooperation with the countries of the Southern Regions destined to contribute to the elimination of the social and economic causes of instability; to the reinforcement of democratization; and to the restoration of an inter-cultural dialogue. | | | European security across the Mediterranean frontier is not primarily challenged by the military strength and power projection capabilities of the Southern Regions. | | | Europeans are frightened by the growing military capabilities of the Southern Regions, but equally so by the growing immigration from these regions. |
