Energy is an issue of strategic importance to the European Union and Turkey. Both are dependent to the outside. EU is the world's largest energy importer and second largest energy consumer after the United States. Turkey's alignment with the EU's energy policy is extremely important for EU in terms of increasing the diversity and quality of its energy resources. Turkey's strategic location makes Turkey a land of passage for transporting oil and gas to Europe. This geopolitical importance is an important opportunity for both sides. In this chapter, EU's position on energy in the world has been explained first. Then the energy situation and energy policy in EU has been examined. Secondly, Turkey's energy policy and compatibility to EU together with complementary role to EU on Energy has been presented.

Flame Detection

In the European Union, no specific requirements for the physicochemical parameters of dietary supplements have been established, contrary to the United States of America. This research aimed to assess the selected physical parameters of 31 commercially available beetroot-based dietary supplements in the form of tablets and capsules following the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) guidelines and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations. There was also estimated zinc and iron content by atomic absorption spectroscopy with flame detection. Results showed that nine products did not meet the USP requirements. Seven supplements needed more than 30 min to disintegrate. Two products in the form of tablets did not pass the friability test because of cracking. The hardness values varied significantly between manufacturers, demonstrating values from 59.1 to 455.8 N. The iron-enriched supplements differed significantly in iron content compared with the manufacturers’ declaration (84.91–140.69%). Inappropriate quality of dietary supplements, which may constitute a potential risk to consumers, can be related to the lack of specific regulations in Europe; hence, similar to the USA requirements should be considered in the European Union. The work emphasizes the need to better control the quality of dietary supplements before they are introduced to the European market.

This paper analyzes the European Union (EU) import demand for in-shell peanuts from three sources: the United States, China, and the rest of the world. We find that peanuts from different sources are differentiated by EU consumers. The expenditure elasticity is elastic for U.S. in-shell peanuts, which is associated with their higher quality. The conditional own price elasticities are more elastic for U.S. and Chinese in-shell peanuts. These findings have at least two implications. First, U.S. producers and exporters should direct efforts to ensure that in-shell peanuts exported to the EU are of the best possible quality, and, second, promotion efforts should stress the quality of U.S peanuts as an advertising tool.

The global financial crisis in 2007–2009 began a period of high volatility on the financial markets. Specifically, it caused an increased amplitude of fluctuations of the level of gross domestic products, the level of investment and consumption and exchange rates in particular countries. To address the adverse market circumstances, governments and central banks took actions in order to bolster the weakening global economy. The aim of this article is to present the anti-crisis actions in the United States and selected member states of the European Union, including Poland, and an assessment of their efficiency. The analysis conducted indicates that generally the actions taken in the United States in response to the crisis were faster and more adequate to the existing circumstances than in the European Union.
