The cattle sector is of great economic importance within the EU agricultural sector. Productivity of the sector is very heterogeneous. In the near future, a further increase in milk and bovine meat supply can be expected. To avoid a decline in farm gate prices, further product differentiation at the EU level, an increase in export opportunities as well as compensation for environmental services to support extensification will be needed.

Cinema was born in Europe, but at present the European film landscape is characterised by the strong presence of Hollywood 'majors' such as Sony Pictures, Walt Disney and Warner Bros.

Government debt has reached unsustainable levels in a number of Member States (MS). This is because economic recession since 2008 has led to increased government budget deficits through rising spending (e.g. unemployment benefits) whilst tax revenues have decreased. Also private debt has been transferred to governments through forced nationalisations of, for example, under-capitalised banks. These deficits have added to public debt, which has been increasing since the 1970s.

Indicators of real support make it possible to compare policies across countries. EU farmers are more supported than their US colleagues, but EU support generates little distortion on world markets. US and Canada adjust support to protect farmers from adverse situations. Like the growing levels of support in Russia and China, these policies generate market distortions. Swiss support is directed towards the provision of public goods. In some countries such as Brazil, agricultural support targets innovation ...

The financial crisis has given rise to substantial government support in the form of State aid primarily to the financial sector. To facilitate that this support was given in accordance with EU State aid rules, the European Commission adopted a special framework for crisis State aid in the form of five communications forming its own basis for assessing Member State action. In this context, the study addresses three basic questions : - Has the temporary framework for State aid and the actual use ...
