ILO launches single biggest project in South-Eastern Europe to promote jobs in Ukraine
New ILO programme brings together businesses, schools, employment services, the social partners and other civil society organizations to create jobs for youth, women and people in rural areas.
(...) Funded by the Government of Denmark with US$8.6 million under the Danish Neighbourhood Programme (DANEP), it represents the single biggest ILO programme in South-Eastern Europe. The programme builds on the development of local networks and partnerships since they are in the best position to address the employment challenges of their own communities.

EXPERIENCE WITH SOCIAL CRISIS MANAGEMENT IN COAL RESTRUCTURING IN THE EUROPEAN UNION / TRANSMITTED BY THE EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY
In what is today the biggest coal producer in the EU, management of the
decline of the coal industry has been geared to maintaining a “core” of
indigenous production, whatever the problems of competitiveness may be.
(...) Only a few years ago, the United Kingdom was the biggest coal producer in
the EU. In connection with the privatisation of British Coal in 1994, a
drastic restructuring programme was carried out, with the result that UK
underground mines are today the only mines in the EU producing more or less
under conditions of economic viability. (...) In France, which is today the smallest of the remaining four coal
producers of the EU, the strategy chosen is the programmed disappearance of
the mining industry, in view of the fact that the achievement of economic
viability was not deemed realistic. The biggest coal field of the country
(Nord-Pas de Calais) has already been closed definitively, the two remaining
ones (Lorraine and Centre-Midi) will be closed by the year 2005.

IMPLEMENTATION OF HEDONIC METHODS IN STATISTICS FINLAND : INVITED PAPER / SUBMITTED BY STATISTICS FINLAND
It appears to be an accepted fact, that the bias due to
changes in the quality of goods and services is the biggest problem in price
indices. Although many other sources for bias exist, such as the index
formula and substitution bias, outlet and item selection bias, definition of
more or less homogenous index commodities and quality adjustment need a lot
of attention.

16. Housing is the biggest main category of the Finnish CPI (20 per cent
in the CPI 1990=100). (...) For
this the basic data has to be of good quality. The biggest problem in the CPI
price collection and biggest source of potential bias is the uncontrolled
quality change occurring with each replacement of commodity variants.

Diesel-fuelled engines are the biggest culprit. But it is now technically feasible to cut emissions from diesel engines at reasonable cost. (...) Here, petrol-fuelled two-stroke engines are the biggest polluters.
Estimates have shown that, for a 500-km journey, the emission of CO2 per passenger-kilometre (pkm) is the lowest for buses (22 g/pkm) and the highest for planes (146 g/pkm), while high-speed trains and private cars emit 48 g/pkm and 86 g/pkm, respectively. Buses and planes are the biggest emitters of NOx (479 mg/pkm and 440 mg/pkm); private cars and high-speed trains emit much less NOx (between 145 and 270 mg/pkm and 87 mg/pkm).
