		<description>Aderarea la UE este foarte scump. De ce lupta Ministerul de acceptare a procedurii de Schenger? Băsescu are dreptate atunci când spune că costul ridicat al aderării la UE. Băsescu şi susţinătorii săi trebuie să treacă mai întâi o socio - politică economică? Traian Băsescu creează o impresie falsă în ţările UE. Aderarea la UE este foarte scump. Dar cum financeerd contribuţia Ministerului român de la UE? Eu locuiesc în România de cinci ani şi, prin urmare, cred că ştiu despre scris. Opinien mea: bogaţii se îmbogăţesc şi săraci obţine mai sărace. Traian Băsescu ar trebui să normal social-democrate a politicilor. Departamentul de nu se poate ridica in mod constant preţurile, fără compensaţie a salariilor şi a pensiilor. Social-Democrat de gândire implică: 1) Toţi cetăţenii trebuie să aibă o sănătate de bază, indiferent de venituri. 2.) Toţi cetăţenii trebuie să aibă dreptul la un beneficiu financiar. 3.) Un salariu minim şi un beneficiu minim să fie introdus. 4.) Toţi cetăţenii au dreptul la o viaţă sănătoasă normală. Este un cetăţean nu poate, indiferent de motiv, atunci de asistenţă financiară pentru cetăţean şi Ministerul municipalitatea poate solicita
 Deci, acum am văzut oameni de multe ori complet financiar la rochii şi dezavantajaţi de către Ministerul. De aceea nu este surprinzător faptul că sărăcia şi criminalitatea merg împreună.
De sănătate şi o viaţă socială normală este dreptul cetăţenilor într-o societate democratică. Mi-e dor în acest Roemenien. De sănătate poate şi nu poţi cumpăra. Până în prezent, am constateerd că multe persoane bani de la ultima lor de a colecta costurile de asistenţă medicală pentru a plăti. Se pare că, uneori, centrele medicale pentru a compara cu Kaufland si Bila.
 De ce ar trebui UE, cu România problema Schenger, chiar dacă România nu acceptă străini. Rasismului şi a discriminării este starea de lucruri. Un exemplu. Cel mai mare rascist şi discriminarea am întâlnit în Banca BRD. Am vrut să facă afaceri cu această bancă. Am fost bun venit la banca. Mai târziu am aflat că nu am nici un drept. Pot depune şi retrage bani. Internet Banking a fost, de asemenea, în onoarea de RFG şi pachetul de asemenea, un card de credit de aur. Dar am putut vedea doar cu banca mea de internet cât de mult am bani în contul meu. Cu &quot;carte de aur&quot; I-ar putea retrage doar de bani. În două luni am avea un total de 280 de euro plătite pentru serviciile bancare.
 Când am fost un împrumut la Banca BRD devreme, banca a declarat: &quot;Putem Kredit nu uaan va da pentru că nu sunt vorbitoare de limba română, nici românească.&quot; Şi am putea menţiona mai multe lucruri care nu sunt acceptabile în gândire democratică.
 Este timpul pentru minister (de multe ori format din oameni cu comonistische achtergroend), pentru a face loc pentru tineri cu gândire democratică.
Străinii care locuiesc în Roemenien au aceleaşi drepturi ca şi cetăţenii de Roemenien.</description>

		<description>Same for me today in Berryden Road Sainsbury&#039;s in Aberdeen. I had my French ID and driving licence, car keys, my local university staff card, a couple of credit and debit card. I am able to take the plane with my French ID to UK, it was enough for me to vote here but it is not enough for Sainsbury&#039;s!!! They should really clean up their act. For me, I have just been discriminated on grounds of origin. Is that not illegal?</description>

		<description>When I wanted to open a bank account the lady at the counter doubted that Germany is a european country when I showed her my ID card. She asked two colleagues who were not sure about that either and had even to ask the manager. The result was that I left the bank and chose another one where it was not a problem at all.</description>

		<description>[...] Search no more. The Secretariat General of the European Commission could be just what you’re looking for. Of course you’ve heard of it. It’s that boring support service, lacking the high profile of a specific policy field, mainly functioning “behind the scenes”, with very low (if any) visibility in the mainstream media. But what exactly is the Secretariat General and what is it’s role in the functioning of the EU? Here are just a few key facts, who knows, they might come in handy for one of our next EU geek quizzes.

		<description>Upcoming likely additional efforts to compromise free speech on the internet by Neelie Kroes&#039; Office, preparations for ACTA:

http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=AGENDA/11/41&amp;format=HTML&amp;aged=0&amp;language=EN&amp;guiLanguage=en

Wednesday 11 January 2012: Action plan to double the share of the Internet economy in Europe by 2015
The news:
[...]
... the Commission proposes actions to achieve:

[...]

better information and protection against abuses on the internet.

The initiatives complement existing legislation on e-commerce in Europe, in particular the E-commerce Directive. One of the actions to be announced is an initiative on procedures for &quot;notifying-and-action&quot; on illegal content which in particular should contribute to combating online illegality and enhancing legal certainty for online intermediaries.

The background:
The E-commerce Directive, adopted in 2000, sets up an Internal Market framework for electronic commerce, which provides legal certainty for business and consumers alike. It establishes harmonised rules on issues such as the transparency and information requirements for online service providers, commercial communications, electronic contracts and limitations of liability of intermediary service providers.

Examples of services covered by the Directive include online information services (such as online newspapers), online selling of products and services (books, financial services and travel services), online advertising, professional services (lawyers, doctors, estate agents), entertainment services and basic intermediary services (access to the Internet and transmission and hosting of information).

The event:

Press conference by Vice-President Kroes, Commissioner Barnier and Commissioner Dalli at in Berlaymont press room (time to be confirmed).

Press material will be available on the day.

The sources:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Upcoming likely additional efforts to compromise free speech on the internet by Neelie Kroes&#8217; Office, preparations for ACTA:</p>
<p><a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=AGENDA/11/41&#038;format=HTML&#038;aged=0&#038;language=EN&#038;guiLanguage=en" rel="nofollow">http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=AGENDA/11/41&#038;format=HTML&#038;aged=0&#038;language=EN&#038;guiLanguage=en</a></p>
<p>Wednesday 11 January 2012: Action plan to double the share of the Internet economy in Europe by 2015<br />
The news:<br />
[...]<br />
&#8230; the Commission proposes actions to achieve:</p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p>better information and protection against abuses on the internet.</p>
<p>The initiatives complement existing legislation on e-commerce in Europe, in particular the E-commerce Directive. One of the actions to be announced is an initiative on procedures for &#8220;notifying-and-action&#8221; on illegal content which in particular should contribute to combating online illegality and enhancing legal certainty for online intermediaries.</p>
<p>The background:<br />
The E-commerce Directive, adopted in 2000, sets up an Internal Market framework for electronic commerce, which provides legal certainty for business and consumers alike. It establishes harmonised rules on issues such as the transparency and information requirements for online service providers, commercial communications, electronic contracts and limitations of liability of intermediary service providers.</p>
<p>Examples of services covered by the Directive include online information services (such as online newspapers), online selling of products and services (books, financial services and travel services), online advertising, professional services (lawyers, doctors, estate agents), entertainment services and basic intermediary services (access to the Internet and transmission and hosting of information).</p>
<p>The event:</p>
<p>Press conference by Vice-President Kroes, Commissioner Barnier and Commissioner Dalli at in Berlaymont press room (time to be confirmed).</p>
<p>Press material will be available on the day.</p>

		<description>Most people that visit EU websites like the EU Coucil, EP, or Commission, I imagine last a nano second as soon as they see the main portal page as a painful and slow death of boredom.

EU websites must become more user friendly or just become a dead graveyard, to be used only by bloggers, journalists, and academics?</description>
