The EU cohesion policy aims to, through the Structural funds, diminish the economic and social differences between less-favoured and affluent regions in the EU. However, there has been a paradigm shift in Swedish politics; from income equalization and redistribution to the poorest regions, towards a greater

The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) describes an inverted U-shaped relationship between per capita income and environmental degradation. In this paper this relationship will be analysed by using per capita GDP as proxy for per capita income, and per capita carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide as representatives for environmental degradation. Using cross-country time series data for ten global coun

Redan så tidigt som 1957 diskuterades frågan om fri rörlighet och hur man inom dåvarande EG kunde underlätta rörligheten för de fyra friheterna: personer, varor, kapital och tjänster. Till dags dato har EU rönt framgångar för tre av dessa fyra friheter, för tjänster är det dock fortsatt besvärligt. En process att undanröja de hinder som stod i vägen för tjänsters fria rörlighet inleddes av stats- As early as 1957 the issue of freedom of movement was discussed and how the EU could facilitate the movement of the four freedoms: people, good, capital and services. To date the EU has been successful for three of the four freedoms, however for services the situation remains difficult. A process to eliminate the obstacles that stood in the way of free movement of services was launched by heads of

Fara för trichotecener i spannmål? med fokus på T-2/HT-2 Det går att undvika bekämpningsmedel i våra livsmedel eftersom det finns ekologiskt odlade livsmedel. Däremot går det inte att undvika mykotoxiner. De bildas av svampar. I spannmål påträffas bland annat mykotoxinet T-2/HT-2 som tillhör mykotoxingruppen trichotecener och kommer från svampsläktet Fusarium. Riskanalys är den vedertagna metodenThe process of how a maximum level is created for mycotoxins in the European Union is described here. The focus is on the mycotoxin T-2/HT-2 that is formed by Fusarium, a fungus that infects grains. T-2/HT-2 has been an issue for a long time without having a maximum level. This literature study will give an overview of how the process of creating a maximum level works. Risk analysis is the name
