Dear All,
The European Information Association's EU databases section www.eia.org.uk/database.htm is now live, with an introduction to using Tenders Electronic Daily, together with guides to finding proposed EU legislation using EUR-Lex, OEIL and PreLex.
The latest issue of Focus is now in our Members Area. It includes 'Finding out about innovation policy' and a report on the recent meeting of European Documentation Centres Librarians in Brussels.
Amongst the items in our weekly news update are:
EU terminology explained
The database InterActiveTerminology for Europe (IATE) has just made its 8.7 million terms, 500,000 abbreviations and 100,000 phrases available to everyone.
Laying down the law
To avoid any confusion about the new Treaty, the Council has issued a statement on the primacy of EC law.
The Portuguese take charge
Portugal takes over the EU Presidency from Germany on 1 July.
Champagne, Parma Ham and Roquefort cheese are just some of the products which benefit from Geographical indications (GIs). A new GI guide sets out the current worldwide situation on GIs.
A history of the Commission
Based on the recollections of some 120 people who were involved at the time, a new book tells the story of the Commission's development from 1958 to 1972.
Health and nutrition claims
1 July sees the entry into force of two Regulations intended to prevent misleading claims for foods.
Regards,
Eric
