歐盟觀察（來自歐盟的最新動態(tài)）

歐盟“里斯本議程”考慮社會實際有所改進

歐洲EurActiv新聞網(wǎng)報道指出，盡管在3月13－14日的峰會上，歐盟成員國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和歐盟政府將社會和環(huán)境考慮又重新納入到歐盟的經(jīng)濟增長和就業(yè)提供的議程中，社會非政府組織仍然對這個結(jié)論所顯示的“社會無知”表示批評。為了應(yīng)對越來越多的公眾對氣候變化、人口老齡化和社會排除性議題的關(guān)注，歐盟成員國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和政府目前已經(jīng)達成一致，將改變里斯本議程在過去三年中單純關(guān)注“增長和就業(yè)”，而會將環(huán)境和公民放在更加優(yōu)先考慮的方面。

一周要聞

美國參議院對食品安全法進行修改

美國參議院通過一項措施對消費類產(chǎn)品有關(guān)法律進行徹底檢查，并加強對安全審核機構(gòu)的審查，這些安全審核檢查機構(gòu)負責(zé)監(jiān)管價值6140多億美元的進口產(chǎn)品市場。這項立法禁止在兒童產(chǎn)品中使用鄰苯二甲酸酯，要求增加消費產(chǎn)品安全委員會的人員和預(yù)算，建立產(chǎn)品投訴數(shù)據(jù)庫，同時，如果檢察機關(guān)認為政府對消費者的保護做得不夠或不妥，可以對聯(lián)邦政府開展調(diào)查。參議院的該項法案以79對13的比例通過，并且得到消費者群體的支持，該法案將進一步被提交到會議委員會，并與去年12月份在白宮得到一致通過但上周被參議院否決的一項較為溫和的措施進行對比修改。白宮對該項法案進行了批評但并未否決該法案。

U.S. Senate Cracks Down on Product Safety Laws

The U.S. Senate approved a measure to overhaul consumer product laws and strengthen the safety agency that oversees the US$614 billion import market. The proposed legislation would ban phthalates in childrens products, increase the staff and budget of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, create a public database of complaints about products, and allow state prosecutors to take action if they think the federal government is not doing enough to protect consumers. The Senate bill, which was approved 79 to 13 and supported by consumer groups, will now head to a conference committee to be reconciled with a more modest measure endorsed by the White House that was unanimously passed by the House in December but rejected by the Senate last week. The White House has criticized the Senate legislation but has not threatened a veto.

Investors Increasingly Demand Disclosure of Climate-Change Impacts

In the 2008 proxy season U.S. investors have filed a record 54 climate change-related shareholder resolutions - nearly double the amount in 2006 - with companies that will likely face business impacts from climate change. According to Ceres, a Boston-based coalition of investors and environmentalists, many companies in the electric power, oil, coal, aviation and construction businesses were not adequately confronting the risks - including future regulations, physical impacts and growing demand for low-carbon technologies - and opportunities from climate change, which may compromise their long-term competitiveness.

Wal-Mart Pursues Green Efforts in China
