The Western European Union was reactivated in 1984 with a view to developing a "common European defence identity" through cooperation among its members in the security field and strengthening the European pillar of the North Atlantic Alliance. With the signature of the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949, the exercise of the military responsibilities of the Brussels Treaty Organisation or Western Union was transferred to the North Atlantic Alliance. http://www.nato.int/docu/handbook/2001/hb1504.htm   (1551 words)      WESTERN UNIVERSITY The University has been a member of European fund on management development since 1996, has been a the member of International Universities Association within UNESCO since 1997, a member of Universities Association of Black Sea Net countries since 1999 and corporate member of International Institute of Administrative Sciences since 2001.

The European Union’s resolve to increase the share of renewables in its total energy consumption to 12% by 2010, and to achieve a 5.75% biofuel substitution for fossil fuels in transport in the same period, is commendable and should serve as a benchmark also for countries outside this area. The economic and political implications of such a growing European dependence on fossil fuel imports are considerable over the medium term, and of even greater concern when seen in the perspective of the next several decades, when global reserves of fossil fuels are expected to diminish dramatically. assembly.coe.int/Main.asp?link=http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/AdoptedText/ta05/ERES1434.htm   (967 words)      Economy of Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Each EU member's central bank is part of the European System of Central Banks, and in addition, those that use the Euro are part of the European Union's central bank, the European Central Bank.

Eventually the Soviet and Eastern European economies were forced to cut oil consumption in order for the Soviet Union to be able to export oil for needed revenue to pay interest on foreign debts and buy essential Western technology. The only way that the Soviet Union could have possibly survived such an oil production decline crisis, not to mention a complete loss of oil export revenue for hard currency, as well as cut its internal consumption, and cut off Eastern European exports, would be to shift to a market economy. Finally in 1989, the Soviets announced that trade to Eastern European Countries in CMEA (the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) would be conducted in hard currencies and that oil exports to CEMA would be cut by 10% in 1990 (Balabanov and Deitz 1991). http://www.hubbertpeak.com/reynolds/SovietDecline.htm   (7668 words)      Towards an Integrated European Economy There are other obstacles to enlargement too: its implications for EU majority voting, the inexperience of the current east European bureaucracies in enforcing health, safety, environment and industrial standards in a market economy; the risk of mass migration to western Europe; and the foreign policy implications of a direct EU border with former Soviet republics.
