Telecommunications Markets

January 1, 1998 is the date when voice telephony is fully liberalized in most European countries. The process of privatization and liberalization has been uneven across Europe; actively embraced by countries such as the U. K., Sweden, and Finland, while opposed in others. The role of the European Commission which uses its powers under the single market to push recalcitrant operators and countries is key. No two countries in Europe are following the exact same path, which makes the Commission's role difficult; it is unclear to what extent rules interconnection, access, and universal service funding should be identical. New entrants in country markets include other incumbent operators as well as other utilities; alliances are forming among many participants. The central issue is the degree to which the marketplace will be allowed to function, rather than forced to compete, through politics.

Over Time

Family archives are a common element of the cultural-documentary heritage of all European countries. Public policies must manage programs of support, investment, recovery and diffusion of these archives, in cooperation with their owners. For 30 years, the Basque Government has been developing a program of these characteristics, to which it dedicates approximately € 450,000 each year. The elements that define this specific policy: (1) is a proactive policy, which has mapped these archives, located and identified them, and proposed a specific work program to their owners; (2) the objective is to order, describe and digitize them; (3) the archives are integrated into the website of the Archives System of the Basque Country (4 million digital images, 700,000 descriptions and 5.5 million sacramental records). This policy of promotion and investment, which is sustained over time, has been a success.

European Institutions

The basic scope of the European Union is the political and economic unification through harmonisation of European Member States' national regulations and associated frameworks. Should the European Union aim to harmonise and unify these national regulations, it is only reasonable to do so through copyright-specific policy provisions implemented by the European countries. The European copyright regime could potentially facilitate open access practice, should this practice be tailored to policy-making actors regarding the European copyright law framework. This chapter examines efforts and initiatives made by the European institutions (e.g., European Commission, European Parliament) in order to construct a coherent copyright framework for the European Union Members.

Specific Policy

The transatlantic fallout preceding and immediately following the openingof the Second Iraq War in 2003 was accompanied by an unusuallywidespread public contempt for U.S. President George W. Bush. No doubt,vast majorities in Germany (and in many other European countries)rejected the Iraq invasion. But how should we interpret their motives?Was criticism levelled against a specific policy or was it based on negativestereotyping of America? Three kinds of arguments have been broughtforward as to why the latter should be the case.

Insect Interactions

Food security and the sustainability of native ecosystems depends on plant-insect interactions in countless ways. Recently reported rapid and immense declines in insect numbers due to climate change, the use of pesticides and herbicides, the introduction of agricultural monocultures, and the destruction of insect native habitat, are all potential contributors to this grave situation. Some researchers are working towards a future where natural insect pollinators might be replaced with free-flying robotic bees, an ecologically problematic proposal. We argue instead that creating environments that are friendly to bees and exploring the use of other species for pollination and bio-control, particularly in non-European countries, are more ecologically sound approaches. The computer simulation of insect-plant interactions is a far more measured application of technology that may assist in managing, or averting, ‘Insect Armageddon' from both practical and ethical viewpoints.
