"Lutter contre le racisme, c'est d'une certaine fa�on construire l'Europe", a ajout� Jacques Santer pour qui le succ�s de ce combat r�sultera "d'un �ventail de politiques et de mesures destin�es � affirmer un mod�le social respectueux des valeurs et du droit � l'�galit�, � promouvoir la coh�sion sociale et � am�liorer la situation �conomique g�n�rale". Pour le Pr�sident, la lutte contre le racisme "ne saurait �tre dissoci�e des grands enjeux qui sont aussi au coeur des d�bats et r�flexions que nous d�veloppons dans la pr�paration de l'Europe de demain".

    [02] European year against racism is launched in The Hague

    30 January 1997 -- The European Year Against Racism was officially launched today in The Hague at the Opening Conference of the Year in the presence of the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Wim Kok, the President of the European Commission, Jacques Santer, the President of the European Parliament, Jos� Maria Gil Robl�s Gil Delgado, and the European Commissioner for Employment and Social Affairs, Padraig Flynn. The launch of the Year marks a decisive step forward in the European response to racism. For the first time the Institutions of the European Union (EU) will engage in concrete action to combat racism. The stated aims of the Year are to highlight the threat posed by racism to human rights and EU cohesion; to encourage discussion of anti-racist measures; to disseminate and promote the exchange of information on good practice and effective anti- racist strategies; to publicise the benefits of integration policies; and to turn to good account the experiences of people who have suffered from racism, xenophobia or anti-semitism.

    La Commission europ�enne a approuv� une directive visant � interdire, par mesure de pr�caution � caract�re conservatoire, tout usage dans l'alimentation des animaux de l'additif "Avoparcine" dans l'Union europ�enne. L'avoparcine est un antibiotique � action antimicrobienne largement utilis� dans les aliments pour les volailles, les porcs, les veaux, les bovins � l'engrais et les agneaux, en raison de ses effets favorables sur la croissance des animaux.
