| | BBC NEWS World Europe The EU's democratic challenge |
| | The new draft EU constitution does introduce some linkage between the European election and the make-up of the commission, by proposing that the Council of Ministers should "take into account" the election result when nominating a candidate for the commission presidency. | | | The fact that relatively few votes are cast for the US congress - especially in mid-term elections - matters less, because the president is elected by the people. | | | But how enthusiastic would German or British voters be about voting for a French commission president, or vice versa? |

| | European Parliament Member Encourages U.S. to Ban All Human Cloning |
| | Unfortunately, Chancellor Schrцder and his government did not implement the German parliament's decision, because Chanceller Schrцder is in favour of therapeutic cloning. | | | The European Union is not the 'United States of Europe', so the question what can be regulated on a European Union level and what by the Member States is much more important than in the United States. | | | The approach of some members of the German government to try to isolate the Bush administration in the United Nations is definitely not supported by the majority of the people and the majority of the German parliament. |
