[01] MG Rover : Danuta Hübner offers support for the West Midlands region
Danuta Hübner, European Commissioner for Regional Policy, has offered
support for the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom affected by the
collapse of car producer MG Rover. Danuta Hübner said she was acutely
aware of the impact that the job losses would have in Birmingham and the
West Midlands as a whole and that the Commission wished "to be of the
greatest possible assistance in this matter".
[02] Vladimir Špidla se félicite du lancement de la campagne "Halte au
bruit"
VladimÃr Å pidla, Commissaire européen chargé de l'Emploi, des Affaires
sociales et de l'Egalité des chances, s'est félicité aujourd'hui du
lancement de la campagne européenne "Halte au bruit", destinée à faire
mieux connaître les risques liés au bruit excessif au travail. A partir
de l'année prochaine, de nouvelles règles européennes abaisseront à 87
décibels la limite d'exposition sonore quotidienne des travailleurs. On
estime à plus de 13 millions le nombre de travailleurs victimes d'une perte
d'audition sur leur lieu de travail, non seulement dans l'industrie lourde,
mais aussi dans des secteurs comme les services, l'éducation et les
loisirs.

decreased by 0.4% in February 2005, after rising by 0.3% in January and
remaining stable in December. In February 2005 compared to February 2004,
industrial production rose by 0.6% in the euro-zone and by 0.4% in the
