[01] Bomb blast in Jakarta : message of condolences from Romano Prodi to
Sukarnoputri Megawati
The President of the European Commission, Romano Prodi, has sent the
following message to the President of Indonesia, Sukarnoputri Megawati :
"It was with horror and great sadness that I learnt about the bomb blast at
the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta which claimed innocent lives and injured so
many people. On behalf of the European Commission and on my own behalf,
allow me to offer to you and to the people of Indonesia our sincere
condolences, and the expression of our deepest sympathy and solidarity with
the families of the victims."
[02] Commission gives Microsoft last opportunity to comment before
concluding its antitrust probe
The European Commission has given Microsoft a final opportunity to comment
before it concludes its antitrust probe. The Commission has gathered
additional evidence from a wide variety of consumers, suppliers and
competitors. This evidence confirms and in many respects bolsters the
Commission's earlier finding that Microsoft is leveraging its dominant
position from the PC into low-end servers and that Microsoft's tying of
Windows Media Player to the Windows PC operating system weakens competition
on the merits, stifles product innovation, and ultimately reduces consumer
choice. The Commission also invites Microsoft to submit its comments on a
series of remedies it intends to impose in order to bring the antitrust
infringements it has identified to an end. As this complex investigation
draws to a close, the Commission will continue to ensure a meticulous
respect of due process. Therefore, the Commission has addressed to
Microsoft a final Statement of Objections.
[03] Troisième estimation pour le premier trimestre 2003 : le PIB de la
zone euro et de l'UE15 en hausse de 0,1% ; +0,9% et +1,1% respectivement
par rapport au premier trimestre 2002
Selon les estimations publiées aujourd'hui par Eurostat, le Produit
Intérieur Brut (PIB) de la zone euro et celui de l'UE15 ont augmenté de 0,
1% au cours du premier trimestre 2003. Ces résultats font suite à une
croissance de 0,1% tant dans la zone euro que dans l'UE15 au cours du
quatrième trimestre 2002. En comparaison avec le premier trimestre 2002, le
PIB de la zone euro et celui de l'UE15 ont augmenté respectivement de 0,9%
et 1,1%, après des hausses de 1,2% et 1,4% au cours du trimestre précédent.
