Madariaga Paper, Vol. 3, No. 3, (Apr., 2010)

MATHIAS FALKENBERG - Researcher, Madariaga - College of Europe Foundation

This paper presents the current trend in international climate cooperation to rely on financial transfers to support developing countries. Taking into account the requirements for a facilitated adjustment process, it is argued that a better strategy would be to create a more robust political framework that takes into account market forces. Three key priorities the EU should push for after Copenhagen are presented: first, reforming the Clean Development Mechanism; second, freeing 'green' trade; and third, setting up an international research facility targeted at Least Developed Countries' specific needs.

Madariaga Paper, Vol. 3, No. 2, (Apr., 2010)

PIERRE DEFRAIGNE - Executive Director, Madariaga - College of Europe Foundation

La lutte contre la pauvreté doit etre au coeur du projet européen, car elle renvoie à l'affirmation de la dignité in aliénable et irréductible de l'homme et de l'égalité de tous les hommes en dignité. Cette reconnaissance de l'égalité foncière des hommes - et des hommes et des femmes - qui doit trouver sa traduction concrète, constitue la dimension la plus haute de la civilization européenne.
