Free mobility of labor has been the core element of the European integration process. The aim of this chapter is to analyze the effects and challenges of the labor mobility within the EU. The analysis then focuses on the recent trends in labor mobility. Cross-border labor mobility remains low in the EU. The main reasons behind the low levels of labor mobility in the EU include linguistic and cultural reasons, as well as non-tariff barriers such as pension rules, recognition of professional qualification or social security differences. Removal of impediments to free mobility of labor and improvement of flexibility of the European labor markets will strengthen the EU's labor market integration.

There is a growing debate about the future direction of migration policy in Europe. After nearly 30 years of pursuing restrictive immigration and asylum policies, many European Union (EU) governments are beginning to re–assess their migration policies and to call for a new approach. For the first time in many years, several EU governments have begun to talk again about the benefits of labour migration and, even more significantly, have even begun to take action to recruit more migrants, especially skilled workers. This paper looks at the background to current calls for a new approach to migration in Europe and public reaction to these new initiatives. It first describes recent trends in migration in Europe and then briefly considers the demographic case for more migration. This is followed by a brief outline of some of the measures being considered by European governments to promote selective labour migration. The remainder of the paper is devoted to a discussion of some of the implications of this change in policy, focusing on two main issues: the likely consequences for sending countries, and the implications for the fight against the smuggling and trafficking of people.

<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> From 1995 to 2007, age‑standardized total cancer mortality rates in the North Cyprus (NC) fell by around 9% in both sexes. Available cancer mortality data in Europe up to 2002 allow a first check of the forecast of further declines in cancer mortality. <strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> We considered trends in age‑standardized mortality from major cancer sites in the NC during the period 1995-2007. <strong>RESULTS:</strong> In women, total cancer mortality declined by 23% from 92/100 000 to 75/100 000 between the years 1995‑2007. Corresponding figures for men were 85/100 000 to 66/100 000, corresponding to falls of 23% from 1995 to 2007. Lung cancer in men declined from 20/100 000 around 1995 to 16 around 2007 (−20%). In women, lung cancer mortality was 2/100 000 and there were no changes between the years 1995 and 2007. Bladder cancer declined by 25% for both men and women from 1995 to 2007. Breast cancer mortality declined from 18/100 000 around 1995 to 15/100 000 (−16%) in 2007. Prostate cancer was approximately stable until 2000, but declined from 8 to 6 (−25%) in 2007. <strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> Despite the persisting rises in female lung cancer in the EU, the recent trends in cancer mortality in the NC are encouraging and indicate that a 9% reduction in total cancer mortality from 1995 to 2007 is realistic and possible.</p>

In the European Union (EU), health policy and the institutional reform of health systems have been treated primarily as national affairs, and health care systems within the EU thus differ considerably. However, the health policy field is undergoing a dynamic process of Europeanization. This process is stimulated by the orientation towards a more competitive economy, recently inaugurated and known as the Lisbon Strategy, while the regulatory requirements of the European Economic and Monetary Union are stimulating the Europeanization of health policy. In addition, the so-called open method of coordination, representing a new mode of regulation within the European multi-level system, is applied increasingly to the health policy area. Diverse trends are thus emerging. While the Lisbon Strategy goes along with a strategic upgrading of health policy more generally, health policy is increasingly used to strengthen economic competitiveness. Pressure on Member States is expected to increase to contain costs and promote market-based health care provision.

Support for research and development in information technology is considered today as critical by most governments in the industrially advanced countries. Traditionally the way of stimulating research has been to ensure to the investor the appropriability of the returns generated. Such appropriability is typically implemented by means of the Intellectual Property Rigths. Nevertheless the protection of such rights is heterogeneous worldwide. Today two different legal systems for the protection of software coexist: the system of patents and the system of author’s copyrights. This chapter explains these two main systems of ‘intellectual property’ to provide legal protection to software, including the licenses to transfer rights on software. The end of the chapter presents the most recent trends of the EU government to replace the current European software protection system, including a discussion onf the software patents and the legal initiatives on the subject. In addition, legal issues linked with new ways in software comercialization are presented.
