Download or read book Impact of the Global Crisis on Neighbouring Countries of the EU written by European Commission. Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global crisis that originated in developed economies has increasingly spread to emerging and developing countries via several transmission channels with negative spillovers. As a consequence EU neighbouring countries, being emerging and developing economies, face severe strains. The economies of the eastern EU neighbouring countries are expected to contract by 4% in 2009, being a 10 percentage point reduction in economic growth in comparison with 2008. Also, the economies at the southern Mediterranean rim see their economic growth halved. While having a similar set of policy instruments at their disposal as developed countries, challenges of mitigating or reversing the impact of the global crisis are quite different. This review analyzes the crisisœ impact on the economic outlook in-depth for the CIS region, for the Mediterranean region, and for the individual economies (including the GCC). Although financial indicators lead us to the conclusion that the CIS region is more exposed than the Mediterranean region, the latter is not sheltered and as vulnerable. The review points at combinations of vulnerabilities in both regions, which compound the risk of fiscal unsustainability and financial stress, relatively weak private sectors, high unemployment rates and weak automatic stabilisers, a shallow financial sector which hampered the rise of economic activity and thus welfare levels in the past, and a lack of buffers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRY (FREE for 14 days), OR RENT this title: www.wileystudentchoice.com Europe is the second-smallest of the continents, yet it is the third most populated—and its rich history has played out on the world's maps for centuries. The region's borders have undergone near-continuous evolution through the rise and fall of nations, rebellions, and civilizations, and the paths these borders take have repercussions around the globe. This book presents a systematic survey of Europe and individual country-by-country coverage based on the most current data. From the core of the European Union to the lesser-known corners of the continent, this book provides in-depth examination of the physical, cultural, economic, and political geography of this powerful region. Fresh perspective sheds new light on recent events including Brexit, Russia's takeover of Crimea, terrorist attacks in France, and the EU's newest members, while the European Union's future is explored in light of the possible loss of the region’s second-largest economy. With deep insight into each nation and its relationship to the region, this book offers a uniquely intimate look at the various dynamics shaping Europe today.
Download or read book European Neighbourhood Policy written by Johannes Varwick and published by Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2007-07-03 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enlarged European Union needs new instruments for exporting stability and change into the fragile regions and countries beyond its borders. That is why the EU is developing and implementing the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP): a strategic concept which is to enhance the Union’s capability to be a driver of reform – without automatically promising the “golden carrot” of membership to the neighbours. This book provides the reader with information on what ENP wants, how it works and what the prospects of the Union’s cooperation with neighbouring countries are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is part of a series of reports produced by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN) on the economic developments and policy challenges of countries covered by the EU's European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), published under DG ECFIN's Occasional Papers. The ENP region includes ten countries on or very close to the Southern and Eastern shores of the Mediterranean - Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia - and six countries to the East of the EU that were previously part of the Soviet Union - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The main motivation of the paper is to assess the economic situation in, and provide broad policy recommendations for, the neighbouring economies in the new global, regional and domestic environment. -- EU Bookshop.

Book excerpt: The EU's neighbouring economies face new challenges in the aftermath of the global crisis. The EU's eastern neighbours reached a deep trough in 2009 while growth in the EU's southern neighbours was halved. Although this makes the return road towards the growth that was achieved before the crisis less steep for the latter region, it may not be easier. Challenges prominent before the crisis, such as surging commodity prices, may reappear on the back of the resurgence of global economic growth. This review analyses the economic, monetary and financial developments as well as the challenges: high fiscal debt stocks, sizable government sectors, relatively weak private sectors, high unemployment rates and shallow financial sectors threaten to hamper the rise of economic activity and damage welfare levels. The strikingly different developments of the relative income levels of the southern and eastern regions during the last decades are also illustrated; while the southern neighbours had already reached a higher welfare level than the eastern neighbours at the beginning of the century, their economic growth has been far slower during the last decade. In view of their rapid growth performance before the global crisis, the eastern economies seem well-positioned to resume to catch up after the recent deep recession. However, for all neighbour economies the identified weaknesses in their economic structure and governance, and the daunting challenges facing policy makers, not least in the area of fiscal policy, underscore the need to implement far-reaching structural reforms to enhance potential growth and improve resilience.

Book excerpt: This is the third issue of the Economic Review of EU Neighbour Countries. The European neighbourhood runs from Morocco in North Africa, through the Middle East, to Russia – including those countries that directly border, or closely border the European Union, and whose growth and welfare is of particular importance to Europe for economic and political reasons. This year the review includes a special focus on a topical issue: the macroeconomic effects of energy price shocks in resource poor CIS countries (written in collaboration with the EBRD). After several years of below market prices for its gas exports to the CIS, Russia has decided to review these arrangements and to significantly increase prices, bringing them closer to the levels applied to the EU. Starting in early 2006 with Ukraine, the renegotiation of gas prices has since then affected also Armenia, Belarus, Georgia and Moldova. This chapter compares the macroeconomic effects of the energy-price shock on growth, macroeconomic stability, budget and balance of payments in these energy-importing countries. In addition to country-specific chapters, this review includes also two overviews of the recent economic developments in the Mediterranean and the EU Eastern neighbourhood regions. These chapters are structured along the main areas of reform: macroeconomic developments, trade liberalisation and economic opening, business climate, public institutions and public finance management, and social development and poverty.
Download or read book The European Union and its Neighbours written by Steven Blockmans and published by T.M.C. Asser Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union and Its Neighbours is the first legal appraisal of relations between the European Union and all the countries on its geographical borders. In the wake of its biggest enlargement to date, the EU faces a multitude of old and new opportunities and challenges on its borders: new markets, but also violent or frozen conflicts, terrorism, mass illegal migration, cross-border illegal trafficking of various kinds, the disruption of the flow of vital energy sources, etc. This book looks at the European Union as it transforms its existing neighbourhood policies towards all its geographical neighbours. As such, the analysis extends to legal, political and economic developments in the European Union’s relations with countries as diverse as Croatia, Iceland, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine. The authors together lay out the unique jigsaw puzzle of actions, policies and agreements, depicting the EU’s policies towards its ‘ring of friends’ and offering ideas to strengthen the EU’s position internationally. The book is divided into two parts. The first part questions the identity and borders of the EU, the multilevel complexity of the EU’s external relations regime, and the evolving nature of the conditions for EU membership. The relations with individual countries or groups of states are analysed in the second part of the book. Steven Blockmans (T.M.C. Asser Institute) and Adam Lazowski (University of Westminster) are senior researchers in EU law who have built up extensive experience in consulting and teaching in the EU’s neighbouring countries. With the support of a multinational team of experts, the editors have compiled a comprehensive and well-structured overview of the relations between the European Union and its neighbours.

Download or read book Extraterritoriality of EU Economic Law written by Nuno Cunha Rodrigues and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the potential application of EU law to situations arising outside EU territory, and its consequences. In today’s globalized world, EU law and the ECJ’s decisions have been calling for exceptions and defining new connecting elements that make the traditional approach of EU law, based on the territoriality principle, less straightforward. This is the case with e.g. the effects doctrine in the context of EU competition law, as was fully recognized after the ECJ’s Intel case. Moreover, recently approved rules concerning the EU’s internal market, EU environmental law and EU data protection law have made it more difficult to define the application of EU law in terms of a pure link to the territoriality principle. The book examines these and other problems from the perspectives of various branches of EU economic law. With regard to EU competition law it presents, among others, studies on the evolution of the effects doctrine in the US and the EU; extraterritoriality of competition law; global cartels; merger control; state aid and cooperation between NCAs. Furthermore, it includes several studies concerning extraterritorial issues in trade relations between the EU and China; EU screening regulation of foreign direct investments; EU trade agreements; EU investment law and EU financial services. The twenty-one contributing authors are internationally respected experts on EU law.
Download or read book The European Fund for Strategic Investments The Legacy written by European Investment Bank and published by European Investment Bank. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inside story of the European Fund for Strategic Investments from 2015 to 2020 told through interviews with the Managing Director, Deputy Managing Director, members of the Investment Committee and final beneficiaries across Europe. The architects of this €500 billion-plus programme, the head of the EU bank and the president of the European Commission, describe the genesis of this financial pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe. Then the people who ran one of the biggest economic stimulus programmes in history detail how they did it—and what the lessons are for policymakers responding to new crises, including the economic shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The European Fund for Strategic Investments has been one of the good news stories to emerge in a decade of economic uncertainty. It has gone well beyond its highly ambitious target of €500 billion in mobilised investments. The Juncker Plan has made a strong contribution to the 14 million jobs created in the EU between 2015 and 2020. It has become a success in co-financing projects that otherwise might not have been carried through. It has also charted the path towards new ways of financing. This is not only the case in relatively conventional areas, such as infrastructure, but also in sectors like research and innovation or the contribution to climate change mitigation. This is exactly what makes EFSI so ground-breaking: responding to the needs of the market through continuous financial innovation. The principle of the European Fund for Strategic Investments is here to stay. It has paved the way for its successor, the InvestEU programme, which is to be deployed under the 2021-2027 multiannual financial framework. This publication details why the programme was such a success.
Download or read book Theorizing the European Neighbourhood Policy written by Sieglinde Gstöhl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite growing scholarly interest in the EU’s flagship policy towards its Eastern and Southern neighbours, serious attempts at theory-building on the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) have been largely absent from the academic debate. This book aims at contributing to fill this research gap in a three-fold manner: first and foremost it aims at theorizing the ENP as such, explaining the origins, development and effectiveness of this policy. Building on this effort, it also pursues the broader objective of addressing certain shortcomings in EU external relations theory, and even beyond, in International Relations theory. Finally, it aspires to provide new insights for European policy-makers. It is one of the first volumes to provide different theoretical perspectives on the ENP by revisiting and building bridges between mainstream and critical theories, stimulating academic and policy debates and thus setting a novel, less EU-centric research agenda. This text will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners in EU external relations, EU foreign policy, the European Neighbourhood Policy, and more broadly in European Union Politics and International Relations.
Download or read book The Treaty on European Union TEU written by Hermann-Josef Blanke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 1821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major Commentary on the Treaty on European Union (TEU) is a European project that aims to contribute to the development of ever closer conceptual and dogmatic standpoints with regard to the creation of a “Europeanised research on Union law”. This publication in English contains detailed explanations, article by article, on all the provisions of the TEU as well as on several Protocols and Declarations, including the Protocols No 1, 2 and 30 and Declaration No 17, having steady regard to the application of Union law in the national legal orders and its interpretation by the Court of Justice of the EU. The authors of the Commentary are academics from ten European states and different legal fields, some from a constitutional law background, others experts in the field of international law and EU law professionals. This should lead to more unity in European law notwithstanding all the legitimate diversity. The different traditions of constitutional law are reflected and mentioned by name thus striving for a common framework for European constitutional law.
