Архитекторы фантазируют на тему «пассивных» домов — тех, что потребляют мало энергии. И пусть такое жилье до сих пор кажется фантастикой и становится настоящей реальность. На повестке дня следующий шаг — «нулевые» дома, способные потреблять исключительно только ту энергию, которую сами же и вырабатывают.

Regional development in the EU has acquired a particular attention in the Union policies after the Maastricht Treaty in 1992. Since then, major attention in the Union’s support for social and economic development in European regions has transformed both the Union’s budget and the policy coordination. A new publication provides a fresh insight into the „regions’ opportunities“ for theory and practice of European integration.

At the end of 2010, at the request of 12 member states, the Commission proposed an idea of enhanced cooperation in the area of European „unitary patent protection“. Soon after, another 13 Member States submitted their request to join the enhanced cooperation. The European Parliament gave its consent during spring 2011. The Competitiveness Council finally authorised the launch of enhanced cooperation with the participation of 25 EU member states.

The EU Single Market strategy is still the nucleus and the core economic driving force in European integration. It also remains the most effective means of responding to the current economic crisis. In mid-April 2011, the Commission adopted „strategic aims“ for the optimization of the Single Market, SM, which consisted of 12 main „projects“ providing stimulus for prospective growth in 2012. Twelve instruments of growth, competitiveness and social progress range from worker mobility to SME finance and consumer protection, via digital content, taxation and trans-European networks.

Since the Lisbon Treaty entered into force at the end of 2009, the European Union has become a legal entity, i.e. a Community that could enter into international agreements on behalf of the EU-27 member states. This fact addressed an important issue of correlations between the EU law and international legal order. Several EU Commissioners perform international functions.
