France and the EU under Sarkozy: between European ambitions and national objectives?
The early phase of Nicolas Sarkozy's presidency proved highly proactive, particularly during the French presidency of the European Union (EU). However, little of practical import resulted. Moreover, there is much that connects Sarkozy's policies to those of his predecessors. Constrained both at home and abroad, he was sometimes unable to carry through his preferred policies. In addition, Sarkozy has done nothing to resolve a long-standing tension of French EU policy between enormous ambitions for the Union and reluctance to empower its institutions. Intergovernmental co-operation has been the theme linking all of Sarkozy's initiatives. The jury is, of necessity, still out on the long-term impact Sarkozy will have. Early indications are that, whilst there has been no shortage of initiatives, it is open to question whether these either diverge much from those of his predecessors, or will have much impact on the workings and effectiveness of the Union itself
Marine National Park and conservation of fisheries resources
Industrial development often takes priority over other sectors in developing countries. In the process, problems like pollution of air, water,
growth of slums, lack of sanitary facilities and other environmental hazards greatly increase, reaching to uncontrollable proportions. In the industrial
development. In the sphere of both Fisheries and Tourism, mistakes of development are common. It is high time that we pay some attention to
the proper planning and development of the seafood export industries along our fine fishing coast.
Similarity the other economic activities of sea, in particular the exploitation of the bed and coastal zones in the west coast for oil, have
increased in recent years to such an extent that the detrimental effects on the ecological balance in some habitats are no longer minor
Preliminary Results on the Empirical Applicability of the Tsallis Distribution in Elastic Hadron Scattering
We show that the proton-proton elastic differential cross section data at dip
position and beyond can be quite well described by a parametrization based on
the Tsallis distribution, with only five free fit parameters. Extrapolation of
the results obtained at 7 TeV to large momentum transfer, suggests that hadrons
may not behave as a black-disk at the asymptotic energy region.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, version matching proceedings style, XII Hadron

Proton-proton forward scattering at the LHC
Recently the TOTEM experiment at the LHC has released measurements at
TeV of the proton-proton total cross section, ,
and the ratio of the real to imaginary parts of the forward elastic amplitude,
. Since then an intense debate on the -parity asymptotic nature of the
scattering amplitude was initiated. We examine the proton-proton and the
antiproton-proton forward data above 10 GeV in the context of an eikonal
QCD-based model, where nonperturbative effects are readily included via a QCD
effective charge. We show that, despite an overall satisfactory description of
the forward data is obtained by a model in which the scattering amplitude is
dominated by only crossing-even elastic terms, there is evidence that the
introduction of a crossing-odd term may improve the agreement with the
measurements of at TeV. In the Regge language the
dominant even(odd)-under-crossing object is the so called Pomeron (Odderon).Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, 1 table. Phenomenological approach revised,
results and conclusions changed, suggesting now the presence of Odderon
