[01] La Commission publie une communication relative � la t�l�phonie vocale
sur Internet
La Commission europ�enne a publi� sur son site web une version actualis�e
de sa communication de 1998 sur le statut des communications vocales sur
Internet en droit communautaire, au terme d'une proc�dure de consultation.
Cette mise � jour apporte un certain nombre de pr�cisions � la
communication de 1998 mais confirme l'appr�ciation globale selon laquelle
les Etats membres doivent continuer, sauf dans quelques cas limit�s, de
r�server aux communications vocales sur Internet un traitement diff�rent de
celui qu'ils appliquent aux services de t�l�phonie vocale.
[02] November 2000 industrial producer prices rose by 0.4% in euro-zone ;
up 0.5% in EU15
(! embargo 12 am !) The euro-zone industrial producer price index rose by
0.4% in November 2000 compared with the previous month, Eurostat estimates
today. It went up by 0.6% in October. EU15 prices, which had also increased
by 0.6% in October, rose by 0.5% in November. The lower overall rate in
November is mainly due to a smaller increase of the intermediate goods
index, which rose by 0.5 % in the euro-zone and 0.8% in the EU15 after a
rise of 1.2% and 1.3% respectively in October. The euro-zone and the EU15
index for durable consumer goods was unchanged in November while the index
for non-durable consumer goods increased by 0.2%. Producer prices increased
by 6.5% in the euro-zone and 5.7% in the EU15 compared to November 1999.
[03] Business and Consumer Surveys first results December 2000
(! embargo 12 am !) The economic sentiment indicator increased by 0.1 point
in the euro area and by 0.3 point in the EU according to the business and
consumer survey results in December 2000 published today by the European
Commission (Directorate General Economic & Financial Affairs). Among the
components, the industrial confidence indicator increased by 1 point in the
EU and remained steady in the euro area in December. The construction
confidence indicator declined slightly in December, while the consumer
confidence indicator increased in December by 2 points in both the euro
area and the EU.
[04] L'initiative "Green Week" fait appel aux qualit�s cr�atives des jeunes
citoyens de l'Union europ�enne
Les jeunes Europ�ens sont invit�s � confronter leurs connaissances sur les
questions d'environnement, leur vision du futur et leurs qualit�s cr�atives
en participant aux cinq concours lanc�s par la Direction g�n�rale
"Environnement" de la Commission europ�enne, dans le cadre de l'initiative
"Green Week" qu'elle organise en avril 2001. L'objectif de cette initiative
est de mettre l'accent sur les questions d'environnement essentielles et de
stimuler le d�bat sur le pr�sent et l'avenir de la plan�te parmi les futurs
d�cideurs dans le domaine de l'environnement.
