SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION

This study (National Strategy) is built on the premise that accelerateddevelopment in the medium and long run in its three essential components (economic, socialand environmental) is not just one of the possible options, but an essential precondition forgradually closing the gap which still separates Romania, in terms of quality of life, from theEU average level within the shortest possible time and for ensuring real cohesion bothnationally and in the broader EU framework. The economic developments in Romania over the past 7 years (2001-2007), with anannual growth rate of the gross domestic product of more than 6% compared to the EUaverage of under 2%, demonstrate that it is possible to attain this objective.sustainable,development, economic

AGENDA FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND COMPETITIVE EUROPEAN TOURISM

Tourism is indeed one of the economic activities with most significant potential to generate future growth and employment in the EU. In its narrow definition, tourism currently contributes some 4% to EU GDP, varying from about 2% in several new Member States and 12% in Malta. Its indirect contribution to GDP creation is much higher - tourism indirectly generates more than 10% of EU GDP and provides about 12% of all jobs

Future of Computing. Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is a field of applied science and technology covering a broad range of topics. The impetus for nanotechnology has stemmed from a renewed interest in colloidal science, coupled with a new generation of analytical tools such as the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Combined with refined processes such as electron beam lithography, these instruments allow the deliberate manipulation of nanostructures, and in turn led to the observation of novel phenomena

THE MANAGEMENT OF AN INSURANCE COMPANY

Rural Development, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries

The objectives set in this Strategy emerged from national and regional debates; they focus on the maintenance, consolidation, enhancement and continued adaptation of the structural configuration and functional capacity of natural capital as a foundation for the preservation and augmentation its support capacity and its ability to operate under the pressure of social development, economic growth and the foreseeable impacts of climate change.rural, development, sustainable, agriculture
