Traduction de «Initial observing system » (Anglais → Français) :

With GMES, the EU is ensuring its autonomous access to reliable, traceable and sustainable information on environment and security, contributes through the GEOSS international initiative (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) to build global observational datasets and information and increases its influence in international negotiations and treaties such as the three Rio Conventions, the post-Kyoto Treaty, and other bilateral or multilateral agreements.

In mastering this challenge one could draw on EU initiatives and methodologies already implemented by the Joint Research Centre or other programmes – such as Kopernikus, the Global Earth Observation System of Systems, and Global Observations of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics.

My preference is influenced by a number of observations, the most important of which is that I think it's fair to say governments largely are institutions for redistribution, whether we like it or not, and that the federal government undertakes a lot of policy initiatives that reflect national equity objectives—things such as the federal income tax system, the employment insurance system, the pension system.

Envisages, on the basis of a proposal by the Commission, a review of the Council Regulation on the establishment of the EEA towards the end of the current Multiannual Work Programme of the Agency (EEA Strategy 2004-2008)".

We conclude from these observations that the international regime for the control of psychoactive substances, beyond any moral or even racist roots it may initially have had, is first and foremost a system that reflects the geopolitics of North-South relations in the 20century. Indeed, the strictest controls were placed on organic substances – the coca bush, the poppy and the cannabis plant – which are often part of the ancestral t ...[+++]raditions of the countries where these plants originate, whereas the North's cultural products, tobacco and alcohol, were ignored and the synthetic substances produced by the North’s pharmaceutical industry were subject to regulation rather than prohibition.
