What on earth is the European Union budget for? It is too small (taking up just over 1% of EU-wide GDP) to have any serious effect. To judge by the wrangling before this weeks EU summit in Brussels, it has become mostly an opportunity for countries to air their pet grievances and to demand their money back. If there is a deal on the budget this week, it will be an agreement reached for its own sake, because EU leaders cannot bear to be blamed for yet another summit failure. And if there is no deal, it will similarly

be a disagreement for its own sake because France rather likes the idea of putting Britain, which holds the rotating EU presidency, in the dock for one more nancial asco. Yet if there was ever a good moment to think hard about how the budget might be better designed to advance the Unions stated aims, it ought to be now. The nancial perspective is negotiated once every six years. That ought to create enough time to step back a bit and consider some rst principles. The present negotiation is also the rst since French and Dutch voters rejected the EU constitution this summer, creating another good opportunity to ask whether the club is still spending its money on the right things. What would a budget look like if it took the EUs goals at all seriously?

24- According to the text, the European Union budget a) may total 1% of EU-wide GDP. b) has surely had a major economic inuence. c) is likely to support the poorest areas. d) was accurately dened six years ago. e) is going to be looked into and negotiated.

25- In paragraph 1, the author refers to the wrangling before this weeks EU summit, which denotes an atmosphere which is a) pleasant and conciliatory. b) angry and unpleasant. c) tense, but hopeful. d) optimistic despite the concerns. e) cold, but respectful.

Congress Caps another Disappointing Year


Source: www.aaas.org 4th January 2006 (Adapted)

On December 30, nearly three months into the scal year, President Bush signed the last two Fiscal Year 2006 appropriations bills into law, bringing the FY 2006 appropriation process to a close. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) estimates that the federal Research & Development (R&D) portfolio totals $134.8 billion in 2006, a $2.2 billion or 1.7 percent increase. But 97 percent of the increase goes to just two specic areas: defense weapons development and human space exploration technologies. Funding for all other federal R&D programs collectively will barely increase, and will fall nearly 2 percent after adjusting for ination. Leaving out large federal investments in development, congressional appropriations for basic and applied research total $57.0 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion or 1.8 percent over 2005. But NASA applied research on human space ight technologies accounts for a majority of the increase, leaving most agency research portfolios with modest increases falling short of ination, or cuts. Many agship federal science agencies have disappointing budgets in 2006.

And if there is no deal, it will similarly be a disagreement for its own sake because France rather likes the idea of putting Britain, which holds the rotating EU presidency, in the dock for one more nancial asco. Para o que na Terra o oramento da Unio Europeia serve? muito pequeno (tomando pouco mais de 1% do PIB da UE) para ter qualquer efeito srio. A julgar pela disputa antes da conferncia da UE desta semana em Bruxelas, tornou-se principalmente uma oportunidade para os pases de expor suas queixas e exigir seu dinheiro de volta. Se houver um acordo sobre o oramento esta semana, ser um acordo alcanado para seu prprio bem, porque os lderes da UE no conseguem suportar serem responsabilizados por outra conferncia fracassada. E se no houver acordo, ele vai igualmente ser um desacordo para seu prprio bem - porque a Frana gosta bastante da idia de colocar a Gr-Bretanha, que ocupa a Presidncia rotativa da UE, no banco dos rus por mais um fiasco financeiro. Yet if there was ever a good moment to think hard about how the budget might be better designed to advance the Unions stated aims, it ought to be now. The nancial perspective is negotiated once every six years. That ought to create enough time to step back a bit and consider some rst principles.

No entanto, se alguma vez houve um bom momento para pensar muito sobre como o oramento poderia ser melhor concebido para avanar com os objetivos declarados da Unio, ele deveria ser agora.

A negociao atual tambm a primeira desde que os eleitores franceses e holandeses rejeitaram a Constituio da UE neste vero, criando outra boa oportunidade para perguntar se o clube ainda est gastando o seu dinheiro nas coisas certas. Como pareceria um oramento se ele levasse os objetivos da UE a srio?

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) estimates that the federal Research & Development (R&D) portfolio totals $134.8 billion in 2006, a $2.2 billion or 1.7 percent increase. Em 30 de dezembro, a quase trs meses do comeo do ano fiscal, o presidente Bush assinou as ltimas duas leis oramentrias do Ano Fiscal de 2006, levando o processo de apropriao FY 2006 ao fim.

But 97 percent of the increase goes to just two specic areas: defense weapons development and human space exploration technologies.

The future of work


Source: Newsweek Jan 30th, 2006 (Adapted)

Many of the rich worlds notions about old age are dying. While the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing shortag shortage e of young workers.

The global union


Source: Newsweek Special Edition Dec 2005 Feb 2006 (Adapted)

What would a global union look like? Think more corporate partnership than class struggle. Today, capital is global and employers are global. Companies, not countries, make the rules. To survive, unions need to find their niche. Global companies are going to need an organization that, in a sense, will manage their labor and protect workers rights. A global union would set standard practices and codes of conduct perhaps even minimum wages and work hours. My critics in the labor movement cringe when I use words like partnership and value added. The reality is that unions need to add value or corporations will ignore us. If we want an equitable stake in the company, we need to define what our goals are. We cant just demand a raise in pay without offering an incentive to the company. Were already far behind multinational corporations in the global game. We made the mistake of transferring the industrial model of unionism of the last century to the 21st. We lost market share: in 1960, one in four workers was in a union; now its one in 12.

The perils of prosperity


Source: The Economist April 27th 2006 (Adapted)

Midway through the first decade of the 21st century, economic growth is pulling millions out of poverty. Growth, so devoutly desired yet often so elusive for developing countries, is occurring in China and India on a heroic scale. Yet once affluence is achieved, its value is often questioned. In the 1960s and 1970s, economists started worrying about environmental and social limits to growth. Now Avner Offer, professor of economic history at Oxford University, has added a weighty new critique to this tradition. The Challenge of Affluence accepts that the populations of poor countries gain from growth, but says that the main benefits of prosperity are achieved at quite modest levels. Its central thesis is that rising living standards in Britain and America have engendered impatience, which undermines wellbeing. The fruits of affluence are bitter ones, and include addiction, obesity, family breakdown and mental disorders.

28- According to Professor Avner Offer, affluence a) also entails unpleasant consequences. b) prevents people from achieving happiness. c) must not be sought by individuals. d) entails well-being and freedom. e) derives from hard work and commitment.

Latin Americas big tests And a possible big change that would ripple round the region
Nov 17th 2011 | from The World In 2012 print edit edition

Several things will test Latin Americas impressive recent progress in 2012. They include the slowing world economy, the conflicts that will arise in Venezuela over a presidential election in October that could mark the end of Hugo Chvezs regime, and the diffuse and unpredictable sense of discontent among some segments of the regions growing lower-middle lower middle class. Take the economy first. Stagnation in the United States, continuing financial instability in Europe and slowing commodity prices will have hav a knock-on effect in Latin America. The regions economic growth will drop to around still respectable but a far cry from the 6% of 2010. As always, it 3.5%still could be worse, for South America in particular, if China stumbles, causing lunge. But that is not probable. commodity prices to plunge. In Brazil President Dilma Rousseffs government will face a difficult balancing act. The year will start with an increase of almost 14% in the minimum wage and in state pensions, so inflation is likely to remain above the Central Banks target ceiling of 6.5% even as growth slows to under 4%. If investors shun Brazilian assets and the real depreciates, the government may have an unpleasant choice between an inflationary spiral and economic stagnation. k to an expansion in domestic credit (albeit at a slower Ms Rousseff will look rate) and investment to keep Brazil ticking over.

shuffling out of ministers held over from her predecessor, Luiz Incio Lula da Silvabut expect Guido Mantega, the finance minister, to hang on to his job. Mexico (and Central America) will be constrained by slow growth in the United States, but will be buoyed by foreign investment and domestic consumption and a presidential campaign. In Argentina Cristina Fernndez, having won a second term in October 2011, will continue to give priority to growth, at the expense of inflation. Despite strong world demand for Argentinas farm exports, she will find the going increasingly tough. Peru, Chile and Colombia will grow at a solid 4-5%, buoyed by investment in mining and hydrocarbons. Municipal elections in Chile will be unusually important, after the mass protests in 2011 over the cost of higher education for a generation that has enjoyed access to it for the first time. The protests revealed disillusion that the two-block political system of the past two decades has failed to forge a much more equal societyand they could prove a harbinger of similar discontent elsewhere in the region. In May the Dominican Republic, a little-noticed success story in the Caribbean, will hold a presidential election that will end the era of the termlimited Leonel Fernndez, who has governed the country for 12 out of the past 16 years. The front-runner is Hiplito Meja, a social democrat who mishandled bank collapses when he was president in 2000-04. He will be pressed hard by Danilo Medina, Mr Fernndezs candidate, who lost to Mr Meja in 2000. But most of the regions attention in 2012 will be focused on Venezuela, where Mr Chvez (pictured) faces his toughest electoral battle since taking office in 1999. One key to the outcome will be whether or not Mr Chvez recovers sufficiently from cancer to be able to campaign with his customary energy. A second will be whether the opposition unites around whoever is chosen as its candidate in a primary in February. The men to watch are Henrique Capriles, the governor of Miranda state, Pablo Prez, the governor of Zulia, and Leopoldo Lpez, a young firebrand, if he can overturn a specious ban imposed on him by the electoral authority. Remarkably, despite economic stagnation, inflation, shortages, rampant crime and corruption, Mr Chvez retains the support of close to half the electorate. But that support is slowly waning. He will mobilise state resources but, provided the vote count is clean, the opposition can win. The big question is: if Mr Chvez is defeated, will he go quietly?

Nowhere do events in Venezuela matter more than in Cuba, which depends on Mr Chvez for heavily subsidised oil. If he is defeated, Ral Castro will be obliged to speed up economic reforms that involve the creation of an incipient private sector. A Communist conference in January will unveil new and younger party leaders, providing a clue to the post-Castro landscape. A flurry of diplomatic activity will underline Latin Americas bigger role in the worlds councils. In early June world leaders will gather in Rio de Janeiro to mark the 20th anniversary of a landmark United Nations conference on the environment. The Amazon, and hydroelectric dams within it, will attract much attention. But the occasion will show how little importance a world now focused on economic growth, or its lack, gives to climate change. Mexico will hold the presidency of the G20 for the year. In April, Cartagena in Colombia will play host to the sixth Summit of the Americas, a 34-country jamboree that in the past has often highlighted Latin Americas internal divisions. It may do so once again in 2012.

They include the slowing world economy, the conflicts that will arise in Venezuela over a presidential election in October that could mark the end of Hugo Chvezs regime, and the diffuse and unpredictable sense of discontent among some segments of the regions growing lower-middle class. Vrias coisas iro testar o impressionante recente progresso da Amrica Latina em 2012. Elas incluem a desacelerao da economia mundial, os conflitos que iro surgir na Venezuela sobre uma eleio presidencial em outubro que poderia marcar o fim do regime de Hugo Chvez, e da difusa e imprevisvel sensao de descontentamento entre alguns segmentos da crescente classe mdia-baixa da regio. Take the economy first. Stagnation in the United States, continuing financial instability in Europe and slowing commodity prices will have a knock-on effect in Latin America. The regions economic growth will drop to around 3.5%still respectable but a far cry from the 6% of 2010. As always, it could be worse, for South America in particular, if China stumbles, causing commodity prices to plunge. But that is not probable. Tome primeiro a economia. Estagnao nos Estados Unidos, contnua instabilidade financeira na Europa e desacelerao dos preos das commodities tero um efeito indireto e inevitvel na Amrica Latina. O crescimento econmico da regio ir cair para cerca de 3,5% - ainda respeitvel mas bastante diferente dos 6% de 2010. Como sempre, isso poderia ser pior, para a Amrica do Sul em particular, se a China tropear, fazendo os preos das commodities mergulharem. Mas isso no provvel. In Brazil President Dilma Rousseffs government will face a difficult balancing act. The year will start with an increase of almost 14% in the minimum wage and in state pensions, so inflation is likely to remain above the Central Banks target ceiling of 6.5% even as growth slows to under 4%.

shun Brazilian assets and the real depreciates, the government may have an unpleasant choice between an inflationary spiral and economic stagnation. No Brasil, o governo da presidente Dilma Rousseff ir encarar um difcil ato de balanceamento. O ano ir comear com um aumento de quase 14% no salrio mnimo e em penses estatais, ento a inflao dever manter-se acima da meta de teto do Banco Central de 6,5%, mesmo enquanto o crescimento desacelera para abaixo de 4%. Se investidores evitarem ativos brasileiros e o Real depreciar, o governo poder ter uma desagradvel escolha entre uma espiral inflacionria e estagnao econmica. Ms Rousseff will look to an expansion in domestic credit (albeit at a slower rate) and investment to keep Brazil ticking over. Municipal elections in October will keep the politicians busy in their districtsand uninterested in unpopular reformsfor much of the year. Ms Rousseff will complete the shuffling out of ministers held over from her predecessor, Luiz -Incio Lula da Silvabut expect Guido Mantega, the finance minister, to hang on to his job. Sra Rousseff ir buscar uma expanso no crdito domstico (embora a uma taxa mais lenta) e investimentos para manter o Brasil rodando. Eleies municipais em outubro iro manter os polticos ocupados em seus distritos e desinteressados em reformas impopulares- por grande parte do ano. Sra Rousseff ir completar a sada de ministros mantidos do seu antecessor, Luiz Incio Lula da Silva- mas espera que Guido Mantega, o ministro das finanas, mantenha-se em seu emprego. Mexico (and Central America) will be constrained by slow growth in the United States, but will be buoyed by foreign investment and domestic consumption and a presidential campaign. In Argentina Cristina Fernndez, having won a second term in October 2011, will continue to give priority to growth, at the expense of inflation. Despite strong world demand for Argentinas farm exports, she will find the going increasingly tough. Peru, Chile and Colombia will grow at a solid 4-5%, buoyed by investment in mining and hydrocarbons. Mxico (e Amrica Central) estaro refreados pelo devagar crescimento nos Estados Unidos, mas sero sustentados por investimento estrangeiro e consumo domstico e uma campanha presidencial. Na Argentina, Cristina Fernndez, tendo ganhado o segundo mandato em outubro de 2011, ir continuar a dar prioridade ao crescimento, custa da inflao. Apesar de uma forte demanda mundial pelas exportaes agrcolas da Argentina, ela ir achar as coisas cada vez mais difceis. Peru, Chile e Colmbia iro crescer a slidos 4-5%, sustentado por investimento em minerao e hidrocarbonetos.

Municipal elections in Chile will be unusually important, after the mass protests in 2011 over the cost of higher education for a generation that has enjoyed access to it for the first time. The protests revealed disillusion that the two-block political system of the past two decades has failed to forge a much more equal societyand they could prove a harbinger of similar discontent elsewhere in the region. Eleies municipais no Chile sero excepcionalmente importantes, aps os protestos em massa em 2011 sobre o custo da educao superior para uma gerao que teve acesso a ela pela primeira vez. Os protestos revelaram a desiluso de que os dois blocos polticos das ltimas duas dcadas falharam em forjar uma sociedade mais igualitria e eles poderiam provar o prenncio de descontentamentos semelhantes em outra parte da regio. In May the Dominican Republic, a little-noticed success story in the Caribbean, will hold a presidential election that will end the era of the termlimited Leonel Fernndez, who has governed the country for 12 out of the past 16 years. The front-runner is Hiplito Meja, a social democrat who mishandled bank collapses when he was president in 2000-04. He will be pressed hard by Danilo Medina, Mr Fernndezs candidate, who lost to Mr Meja in 2000. Em maio, a Repblica Dominicana, uma pouco notada histria de sucesso no Caribe, ir realizar uma eleio presidencial que ir acabar com a era do impossibilitado de um outro mandato Leonel Fernndez, o qual governou o pas por 12 dos ltimos 16 anos. O favorito Hiplito Meja, um social democrata que manejou mal os colapsos de bancos quando ele era presidente em 2000-04. Ele ser pressionado duramente por Danilo Medina, o candidato de Sr Fernndez, que perdeu para Sr Meja em 2000. But most of the regions attention in 2012 will be focused on Venezuela, where Mr Chvez faces his toughest electoral battle since taking office in 1999. One key to the outcome will be whether or not Mr Chvez recovers sufficiently from cancer to be able to campaign with his customary energy. A second will be whether the opposition unites around whoever is chosen as its candidate in a primary in February. The men to watch are Henrique Capriles, the governor of Miranda state, Pablo Prez, the governor of Zulia, and Leopoldo Lpez, a young firebrand, if he can overturn a specious ban imposed on him by the electoral authority. Remarkably, despite economic stagnation, inflation, shortages, rampant crime and corruption, Mr Chvez retains the support of close to half the electorate. But that support is slowly waning. He will mobilise state resources but, provided the vote count is clean, the opposition can win. The big question is: if Mr Chvez is defeated, will he go quietly?

Mas a maioria das atenes da regio em 2012 estar focada na Venezuela, onde Sr Chvez enfrenta sua mais dura batalha eleitoral desde que tomou posse em 1999. Uma chave para o resultado ser se o Sr Chvez se recuperar suficientemente do cncer ou no para ser capaz de realizar sua campanha com sua energia habitual. Uma segunda ser se a oposio ir se unir ao redor de quem quer que seja escolhido como seu candidato na primria em fevereiro. Os homens para observarem so Henrique Capriles, o governador do estado de Miranda, Pablo Prez, o governador de Zulia, e Leopoldo Lpez, um jovem agitador, se ele puder derrubar um plausvel banimento imposto sobre ele pela autoridade eleitoral. Surpreendentemente, apesar da estagnao econmica, inflao, escassez, criminalidade desenfreada e corrupo, o Sr Chaves mantm o apoio de quase metade do eleitorado. Mas esse suporte est lentamente diminuindo. Ele ir mobilizar recursos do estado, mas, desde que a contagem de voto seja limpa, a oposio pode vencer. A grande pergunta : se o Sr Chvez for derrotado, ele ir embora quietamente? Nowhere do events in Venezuela matter more than in Cuba, which depends on Mr Chvez for heavily subsidised oil. If he is defeated, Ral Castro will be obliged to speed up economic reforms that involve the creation of an incipient private sector. A Communist conference in January will unveil new and younger party leaders, providing a clue to the post-Castro landscape. Em lugar algum os eventos na Venezuela importam mais do que em Cuba, a qual depende do Sr Chvez para o fortemente subsidiado petrleo. Se ele for derrotado, Ral Castro ir ser obrigado a acelerar as reformas econmicas que envolvem a criao de um incipiente setor privado. Uma conferncia comunista em janeiro ir revelar novos e mais jovens lderes do partido, fornecendo uma pista sobre o panorama ps-Castro. A flurry of diplomatic activity will underline Latin Americas bigger role in the worlds councils. In early June world leaders will gather in Rio de Janeiro to mark the 20th anniversary of a landmark United Nations conference on the environment. The Amazon, and hydroelectric dams within it, will attract much attention. But the occasion will show how little importance a world now focused on economic growth, or its lack, gives to climate change. Mexico will hold the presidency of the G20 for the year. In April, Cartagena in Colombia will play host to the sixth Summit of the Americas, a 34-country jamboree that in the past has often highlighted Latin Americas internal divisions. It may do so once again in 2012. Uma intensa atividade diplomtica ir salientar o maior papel da Amrica Latina nos conselhos do mundo. No incio de junho lderes mundiais iro se reunir no Rio de Janeiro para marcar o 20 aniversrio de uma conferncia
