چکیده
A Von Chris van Rossem, Beatrice Kogg und Oksana Mont lthough the European Commission launched the official debate on Integrated Product Policy (IPP) as early as 1998, attempts to date to develop a formal EU IPP policy framework have not yet materialised. On June 18, 2003, the Commission adopted its Communication titled „IPP, Buil ding on Environmental Life Cycle Thinking“, the much anticipated follow-up to the Green Paper on IPP. In the Communication the Commission attempts to explain what IPP is and outlines an EU strategy for IPP. Generally speaking, many of the recommended measures first introduced in the Green Paper have been either removed complete ly or substantially slimmed down in the current Communication, to the disappointment of many actors. Interestingly, however, is the response from both the European Council of Ministers and the Parliament, which have recently adopted opinions that call for substantial changes to strengthen the formulation of IPP. At this point in time the EU IPP is in a precarious phase: the Commission is continuing its work according to what was outlined in the Communication, but there is still no agreement on what role IPP shall ultimately have in the EU policy framework and there are no clear indications for when we can expect political decisions regarding its future development.

DESPITE HIS FAULTS AND HIS ANTIQUITY, Mircea Eliade (19071986) had insights to which we would do well to attend. Our epistemological ancestors bequeath our situation to us and we need to respect them — which does not mean adopting or ignoring their vices but cultivating their virtues. The danger is not so much of throwing out the baby with the bathwater but — in a perhaps even more grotesque im...
متن کاملKeeping the Baby, Throwing out the Bathwater
A Distributed Generation Tariff (DGT) program to replace Ontario’s existing Feed-in Tariff (FIT) would have several benefits. For example, a DGT would play a useful role in facilitating the development of a wide range of innovative, small-scale electricity generating projects to help meet the province’s growing electricity demand. As such, it would have a positive environmental impact, reducing...
متن کاملIs saying NO to 'accident proneness' throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
as examples of flawed science (see pages 135 and 144). They provide impressive evidence that some children have increased injury susceptibility. Indeed, there are other more recent examples from the UK of such 'accident repeaters' in both the Oxford Record Linkage Study' and from the 1970 British Birth Cohort Study.2 I am going to assume that we can discount type of caregiver, behaviour, or sty...
