		<description><![CDATA[The European Union is out there to help member states. True. But what the European Union cannot do is to replace member states where they fail to agree or, worse, fail to act. The question of immigration is a good example of it. As the issue becomes preoccupation number one in a growing number of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=globaldebates.wordpress.com&amp;blog=281305&amp;post=17&amp;subd=globaldebates&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The state of the Italian economy clearly leaves a lot to be desired and the extent to which the left-wing parties in Romano Prodi’s coalition have vetoed substantial public spending cuts in the draft 2007 budget does nothing to inspire confidence that urgent remedies are on the way. Nonetheless, the constant drumbeat from mainly British [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=globaldebates.wordpress.com&amp;blog=281305&amp;post=16&amp;subd=globaldebates&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, the head of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso announced that, with the agreement to allow Bulgaria and Romania to join the EU on January 1st next year (despite their still dubious records on corruption), it was time for the Union to have an &#8216;enlargement pause&#8217;.  A couple of weeks before he&#8217;d told the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=globaldebates.wordpress.com&amp;blog=281305&amp;post=15&amp;subd=globaldebates&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Cresson’s hiring of her [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=globaldebates.wordpress.com&amp;blog=281305&amp;post=14&amp;subd=globaldebates&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent European Council meeting (held in Brussels on 15-16 June) will surely be remembered as one of the emptiest European Council meetings in years. But emptiness is seldom innocuous: the great nothingness in which Europe has developed since the failed referendum in France last year is slowly but relentlessly swallowing entire bits of EU’s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=globaldebates.wordpress.com&amp;blog=281305&amp;post=12&amp;subd=globaldebates&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Kirsty Hughes, 26th June 2006 Two months after Nepal&#8217;s extraordinary people&#8217;s movement that brought up to 5 million people onto the streets across this small Himalayan country, prospects for a permanent peace are getting tantalisingly close. But the closer Nepal&#8217;s political leaders and the Maoists get to a deal, the tougher are the questions.
