 CRPE Policy Brief no. 5
Global negotiations with regard to the reduction of gas emissions having a greenhouse effect do involve costly commitments and complicated tactics in order to create diplomatic alliances. Romania has to become a serious and credible actor regarding this issue and moreover, has to base its strategy on the good knowledge of the domestic environment. On the one hand, it has to fulfill its obligations as an EU member state which implies money and efforts to build up coherent policies for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in several sectors. On the other hand, depending on how Romania will succeed to negotiate its position within the EU, it could get financing to be invested in the energy sector as well as other sectors: an opportunity which would allow not only to reduce the emissions, but to produce energy more competitively.

 CRPE Policy Memo no. 6
After many obstacles the Lisbon Treaty has faced, it finally entered into force on December 1st 2009, thus the Spanish Presidency will be the first to function according to the rules of the new treaty.

 CRPE Policy Paper no. 2
The meeting of the European Council scheduled to take place on 18-19 of June in Brussels is not an ordinary one. The current issues set on its agenda will be most probably eclipsed by the election of the new President of the European Commission. Nevertheless, with a newly elected European Parliament and with the not too distant perspective of Lisbon Treaty entering into force, there is a strong will to postpone this decision up until October, when the current mandate of Jose Manuel Barroso formally expires. So far he is the sole official candidate for the position he had held until now. Moreover, he addressed the EU leaders with an appeal to nominate already now the new President, being backed by Sweden, the country to assume EU presidency. However, nothing is certain and one may have the surprise to watch a race with one candidate who is loosing.
