EKONOMIKA
Household Consumption and the Environment
Publisher: Office for Official
Publications of the European Communities
A renewed policy focus on sustainable consumption and production (SCP) can be observed, both at the global level and in
Europe. With an aim to provide input for European policy-making, this report analyses the environmental effects of
household consumption in Europe. We have identified four consumption categories that form a major part of our total
consumption expenditure and for which the environmental effects are either large or increasing rapidly. These are
consumption of food and drink; housing; personal travel and mobility; and tourism. The negative environmental effects of
our consumption do not only occur in Europe, but also in other regions of the world, mainly as a result of resource
extraction, production, processing and transportation of the goods we consume in Europe, and as a result of our personal
travel and tourist activities. Attaining more sustainable consumption and production patterns is a common challenge that
involves all actors, including public authorities at all levels, business and consumers.
Regions: Statistical yearbook 2005
Publisher: Office for Official
Publications of the European Communities
This yearbook highlights many aspects of regional data and the analyses which can be made with them. Some fundamental
chapters, such as regional GDP, regional household accounts, the labour market, demographic statistics and agriculture, are
a recognised backbone of the book. One chapter is new this year: education, giving interesting insights into topics such as
lifelong learning participation in the various regions.
Promoting Health and Safety in European Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
(SMEs)
by European
Agency for Safety & Health at Work
Synopsis
This publication contains information on the SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) funding scheme organised by the
European Agency for Safety and Health at Work for 2003-2004. The scheme provided funding for initiatives that
encourages SMEs throughout Europe to adopt good occupational safety and health practices, focusing on training for
accident prevention and avoidance of health risks; information provision and communication issues; and identifying good
practices to reduce dangers to health and safety. Details are given for 14 transnational projects and 26 national projects.
European Union Foreign Direct Investment Yearbook 2005:
Data 1998-2003
Publisher: Office for Official
Publications of the European Communities
The direct investment pocketbook provides users with analytical aspects of foreign direct investment stocks, flows and
income for the EU. The pocketbook has a simple objective: to provide political and corporate decision makers with high
quality statistical information on direct investment.
European Energy and Transport - Scenarios on Key Drivers
Publisher: Office for Official
Publications of the European Communities
The European Energy and Transport Scenarios in this publication follow last year’s publication on “Trends to 2030” and
provide alternative projections to 2030 of the EU-25 energy system depending on the development of key drivers. This
publication examines a wide range of quite different energy policy options over the next three decades.
Europe in Figures - Eurostat Yearbook 2005
Publisher: Office for Official
Publication Date: 2005
Publications of the European Communities
The Eurostat yearbook is Eurostat's Statistical Compendium: It reports figures on the European Union and its Member
States, the Euro-zone, the European Economic Area and other global key players. Most time series cover the last decade. It
provides a good understanding of all topics on which Eurostat has statistical data available. The data are presented together
with help for interpretation (explanatory texts, graphs, a glossary, an abbreviation list); they are structured in a logical and
user-friendly way. The Eurostat yearbook contains all structural indicators the European Commission and national
governments have agreed to use to evaluate progress in the European Union. They are visibly marked. All of its data are
harmonized to be a reference to compare Europe.
Consumers in Europe:
Facts and Figures : Data 1999-2004
Publisher: Office for Official
Publication Date: 2005
Publications of the European Communities
Presenting figures primarily on consumer attitudes, expenditure and prices, and quality indicators, it focuses on the
consumer rather than on consumption in itself. The book provides data on all 25 EU Member States as well as some key
indicators on candidate countries. It is aimed at anybody interested in EU spending patterns, in particular consumer
organisations and other policy-makers in the consumer protection area, as well as businesses.
XXXIIIrd Report on Competition Policy 2003
Publisher: Office for Official
Publication Date: 2005
Publications of the European Communities
The 2003 annual competition report makes a reckoning of what has been accomplished in term of competition policy, a
policy which forms an essential building block in establishing a well-functioning single market in the EU.
This year’s report not only reflects significant changes to the internal organisation and working methods of the Commission
in the field of EU competition policy, but also provides evidence of the way the Commission ensures coherence in the
European economic governance fabric by balancing continuity and the need for new approaches.
Treaty Establishing the Constitution for Europe
Office for Official Publications of the European Communities
The signing of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe in Rome on 29 October 2004 was a decisive step for the

development, and characteristics of European business and its different activities: from energy and the extractive industries
to communications, information services and media.
It presents the latest available statistics from a wide selection of statistical sources describing for each activity:

production and employment;

country specialisation and regional distribution;

productivity and profitability;

the importance of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs);

work-force characteristics;

external trade etc.
The accompanying CD-ROM presents the paper publication in an easily accessible electronic format, including all the data,
graphs and tables in excel-format. It also contains more complete, detailed datasets on which the publication is based, a
