歐盟概況

1. 歐盟概況

歐洲整合進程始於1951年，當時歐洲煤鋼共同體成立，為後續整合奠定堅實基礎。1957年歐洲經濟共同體成立，整合大業更上層樓。整合之目的在於秉持民主人權信念，同舟共濟，共同發展經濟，面對國際事務採取相同立場，締造歐洲大陸永續和平，如今歐盟依舊秉持此精神。有了歐洲共同體後，”歐洲聯盟”這個專有名詞於1992年正式使用。過去50年間，歐盟發展分為兩大主軸：

- 擴大(Enlargement)：1957年歐洲經濟共同體成立時僅有六個會員國，如今已增加至二十七國，另有不少候選國家，未來可望加入。2004年5月歐盟擴張達到顛峰，十國一舉加入歐盟，隨後於2007年再添兩國。

- 深化(Deepening)：歐盟不斷精益求精，功能益發多元。從1951年的單一功能（整合歐洲煤鋼市場）逐漸發展出多項功能，積極涉足多種領域，如農業、貿易、研究。會員國通力合作，集思廣益，效益大大提升。一連串的公約記錄了發展進程，如1992年馬斯垂克條約（決定發行歐元）、兩千年尼斯公約（決定新增十個會員國），另有歐盟憲法公約，尚待部分會員國簽署批准。

歐盟與全球

-統一針對非會員國的貿易政策

-統一外交暨安全政策，在大部份的議題上，27個會員國對外立場一致

- 為發展中國家設計完善的發展援助計畫，參與人道救援不遺餘力，協助各國安置災民

-歐盟申根簽証計劃目前已有15個國家加入，

2008年將再有13個國家加入

歐盟現況

-27個會員國

-四億九千三百萬居民

-23種官方語言

-全球最大貿易實體，占全球商品貿易22.8%，服務貿易27%

- 海外直接投資全球第一，並獲得全球最多海外投資

-全球一百三十多國主要外銷市場

- 歐盟與會員國提供的援助居全球之冠，約有半數國際官方發展協助計畫是由歐盟與會員國主持

歐盟的功能

- 提供單一市場，會員國之間商品、服務、資金、人民流通往來皆暢通無阻 - 統一農業、研究、資訊社會、環境、消費者保護、食品安全、商業競爭…等政策與法規 - 經濟規模高達九兆七千億歐元，占全球經濟28.7% - 所有歐洲公民皆可任意往返或定居歐盟會員國 - 發行單一貨幣（歐元），目前於13個會員國流通，其他會員國可望跟進 - 秉持團結共榮精神，經濟強勢會員國負責協助經濟弱勢會員國發展經濟

歐盟概況

歐盟決策體系

歐盟決策體系分為三大機構：

歐洲執委會：負責決策及立法的提案、監督執行。執委會由27位委員組成，來自27個會員國，五年一任。委員之職責乃是謀求歐盟共同利益，而非爭取本國利益。執委會設有主席一名，27位委員各司其職，如同政府部會首長。執委會之下設有不同總署，負責管轄不同領域。

歐盟理事會：理事會成員來自各會員國，屬於部長層級會議，故又稱「部長理事會」。各會員國政府指派一位代表參加理事會。理事會負責投票表決執委會之提案，採多數決，並考量各會員國之人口比例。針對外交政策、租稅政策等特定領域，表決以全體通過為原則，全體會員國必須一致同意，提案才算通過。理事會也定期召開元首級會議（亦稱為歐盟國家元首和政府首腦理事會會議、亦稱歐盟高峰會議），商討歐盟整體政局與未來方針。 理事會主席半年一任，由全體會員國輪流擔任。2007年上半年主席由德國擔任，葡萄牙下半年，2008年則由斯洛維尼亞與法國輪流擔綱。理事會設有常任秘書長一名，兼任歐盟共同外交暨安全政策高級代表，現任秘書長為索拉納先生。

歐洲議會：785位議員，由歐洲各國公民直接選舉，五年一任，代表全體歐洲公民。議會與理事會共享決策權與立法權，提案需經議會表決同意才算通過。倘若理事會及歐洲議會無法達成協議時，理事會與議會必需針對提案內容展開協商尋求共識。

歐台合作涵蓋各大領域，以下就幾個領域作簡短介紹:

研究：目前台灣與歐洲研究機構正進行多項歐洲執委會贊助之研究計畫，研究領域包括資訊科技、醫療保 健等。2003 年歐洲執委會與台灣國科會簽署合作書，約定加強研究合作，並於2005年展開歐盟 台灣資訊科技研究合作計畫，攜手合作，共同研究資訊科技。該計畫擁有專屬網站http://www.eurotaiwan-it.org。另外於歐洲經貿辦事處的網站上，可以找到更多科學技術的合作資訊。

高等教育：歐洲執委會的「Erasmus Mundus歐盟碩士課程及獎學金」計劃，提供台灣學生獎學金前往歐洲攻讀碩士課程、教授前往歐洲進行執教，另有大學合作計畫，經由建立夥伴關係進行交流；各會員國亦提供台灣學生各類獎助金。

文化：歐台雙方文化交流甚為頻繁，橫跨電影產業、藝文展覽、文學作品雙向翻譯出版、表演藝術等領域。

貿易：歐台雙方舉辦各項研討會，就經濟貿易議題交換意見，討論主題涵蓋智慧財產權保護、科技法規與標準、電子商務、農業貿易等。

會員國辦事處：16個歐盟會員國在台北設有代表處。2003年歐洲執委會亦於台灣成立辦事處-歐洲經貿辦事處。本手冊亦提供各辦事處聯絡方式。

2.3歐盟外交聲明與對台立場

在歐盟共同外交暨安全政策架構之下，歐盟理事會針對與台灣相關之議題發表聲明，主題包含台海局勢、中歐關係、遠東地區整體局勢等。

歐洲議會亦針對以上議題開會討論，並做出決議。

有關歐盟理事會對外聲明資料，請參閱本手冊「歐盟新聞資源」章節。

2.4歐盟總部（布魯塞爾）組織分工

歐洲執委會設有對外關係總署，該總署設有一部門專門負責歐盟與中國、香港、澳門、台灣、蒙古之關係。歐洲執委會貿易總署亦設有部門負責歐盟與上述地區之貿易往來。 下列網站提供歐台關係相關資訊：

- 歐洲經貿辦事處 http://www.deltwn.ec.europa.eu

- 歐洲執委會對外關係總署 http://ec.europa.eu/comm/external_relations/taiwan/intro/index.htm

為什麼要報導歐盟新聞

3.為什麼要報導歐盟新聞

歐盟的功能覆蓋範圍遠遠超過一般國際組織，組織也複雜許多。歐盟也日漸蛻變、擴大、深化，對國際事務之影響力亦與日俱增。歐盟在世界舞台舉足輕重，一舉一動關乎國際局勢，值得您花點時間深入了解，製作質量兼具的報導。

歐盟是台灣貿易投資重要夥伴，雙方在眾多領域通力合作，共生共榮。

歐盟對國際政治、區域政治、外交與安全之影響力與日俱增。歐盟代表歐洲27國四億九千三百萬人口，為全球最大經濟體，援外捐助全球第一，因此歐盟外交政策對國際局勢影響甚深。

歐盟在重要領域（如科學研究、醫療保健、環境保護、食品安全、消費者保護）之發展創新領導全球、開創趨勢。舉例來說，歐盟嚴格要求所有廠商(包括台灣)生產之電子產品必須符合環保標準（包含

WEEE歐盟廢電器設備指令、RoHS危害物質指令、EuP能源產品環保設計指令）方能外銷到全球第一大的 歐洲市場。歐盟在實施新法規之前，會徵詢相關業者的意見，因此愈早報導歐盟新聞，愈能維護台灣業 者的利益，因為如此一來他們的聲音才能夠傳達出去。

歐洲各國幾世紀以來飽受戰亂之苦，歐盟成立帶來了長久和平，堪為世界典範。隨著歐盟成立，歐洲人以合作團結取代仇恨對立，秉持民主人權信念，共同打造繁榮願景。

歐盟擁有獨特的社會議題、社福制度與教育制度，各界經常討論這些議題，各方意見相當踴躍，值得 報導。

歐洲文化獨特多元，報導題材俯拾即是。舉凡觀光旅遊、尋訪古蹟、欣賞文化遺產，歐洲是不二選擇， 世界頂級品牌也聚集在歐洲，歐洲足球稱霸全球。

台灣閱聽人希望多方了解歐盟與整個歐洲，相關報導卻鳳毛鱗爪，甚是可惜。製作歐盟相關報導不但能幫助民眾增廣見聞，還能提升您的新聞媒體閱聽率，一舉數得！

欲前往歐洲報導歐盟新聞、拍攝紀錄片、撰寫歐遊心得，卻不知如何著手？歐盟位於布魯塞爾與歐洲其他地點的單位皆設有新聞處，可以為您聯繫相關資源、安排採訪，甚至出借攝影棚、攝影器材與工作人員。種種貼心的服務，為您省時又省力。如果您在布魯塞爾採訪期間需要專業影音技術協助，歡迎來電 +32 2 299 2321洽詢預約。

如需協助，歡迎聯絡歐洲經貿辦事處或任一歐盟會員國駐台北辦事處。

10.派遣新聞特派員駐布魯塞爾

布魯塞爾擁有全世界最多的駐外新聞特派員。新聞媒體想要即時捕捉歐盟新聞，最快的方式就是派遣新聞特派員駐守布魯塞爾。雖然網路資訊相當便捷，還是不如身臨其境，直接訪問相關人士，感受現場氣氛來的直接。

貴單位如計畫派遣新聞特派員常駐布魯塞爾，歡迎聯絡歐洲經貿辦事處，我們樂意提供相關資訊。

Spokespeople in the EU Institutions are good contact points for journalists. However, they are always very busy and need to satisfy the needs of media correspondents from the 27 EU countries and from the rest of the world.

In any case, do not hesitate to call the European Eco-nomic and Trade Office in Taipei if you need help (see contact address below).

Basics Facts about the EU

1. Basics Facts about the EU The European integration process started in 1951 with the European Coal and Steel Community and con-tinued in 1957 with the founding of the European Economic Community. Its main aim was, and still is, to establish lasting peace on the European continent, through concrete cooperation, common economic devel-opment and a common approach to international questions, based on the shared values of democracy and human rights. The name European Union (EU) was adopted officially in 1992. Two main trends epitomize the history of the EU in the past 50 years:- Enlargement: The community grew from 6 countries (Member States) at the start in 1957 to 27 countries today, with more candidate countries hoping to join in the future. The biggest enlargement took place in May 2004, when 10 new Member States joined together, followed by 2 more in January 2007.- Deepening, i.e. expanding competences: Starting from just one function (organising the market for coal and steel) in 1951, the European community gradually extended its competence to more and more areas, for instance agriculture, trade, research etc…, where its members thought it was more efficient to work to-gether than alone. This progress was recorded in successive treaties, signed between Member States, such as the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 (decision to launch the Euro), the Nice Treaty in 2000 (decision to enlarge to 10 new members) or the Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe, which has not yet been ratified by all Member States.

The EU today- 27 countries- 493 million inhabitants- 23 official languages- An economy worth 10.8 trillion Euros, 28.7% of the world economy- The biggest trading entity in the world represent-ing 22.8% of world trade in goods and 27% of trade in services- The world’s leading source of Foreign Direct In-vestment and largest recipient of foreign invest-ment- The main export market for some 130 countries around the globe- The EU and its Member States combined are the biggest aid donors in the world, providing about 50% of all international official development as-sistance (ODA)

The EU and the World- A common trade policy with non-EU economies- A Common Foreign and Security Policy - 27 EU countries speaking with one voice on the world stage- A strong development aid programme for devel-oping countries, and a strong presence in humani-tarian assistance to help people face disasters around the world- Freedom to travel with a single visa in the 15 Schengen countries – and 13 more European countries will join the Schengen system in 2008.

What the EU does- A single market, with no internal borders for goods, services, capital and people- Common policies and regulations on agriculture, research, information society, the environment, consumer protection, food safety, competition…- Freedom to travel throughout and to settle anywhere in the EU for all Europeans- A single currency, the Euro, already used in 13 Member States – more will join in the future- A ‘’cohesion’’ policy based on solidarity, whereby the richer areas of the EU help develop the less well-off regions

Basics Facts about the EU

Decision Making in the EU

Three main Institutions take part in EU decisions:

- European Commission: proposes decisions and legislation and makes sure they are implemented. It is composed of 27 Commissioners, one from each Member State, who have a five year term. Commissioners do not represent their country of origin, but work for the general interest of the EU. This team is led by the President of the European Commission. Each Commissioner has an area of responsibility, just like Ministers in a government, and the administration is divided into a series of Directorates General.

- Council of the European Union: Representative Council of the Member States, it convenes at the level of Min-isters and is also called the Council of Ministers. Each Member State government appoints one Representa-tive. The Council of the European Union votes on the proposals made by the European Commission within a system of qualified majority, taking into account the size of the population in each Member State. The Council of the European Union votes on the proposals made by the European Commission within a system of qualified majority, taking into account the size of the population in each Member State. In a limited number of areas, such as foreign policy or tax policy, the Council votes by consensus, and all Member States without exception must agree to pass a decision. Regular meetings, called European Councils, also convene at the level of Heads of States and Governments, who decide on the broad political orientations of the EU. The Presidency of the European Council rotates every 6 months between EU Member States. For example, Germany exercises the Presidency during the first half of 2007, and will be followed by Portugal, then Slovenia and France in 2008. The Council of the European Union has a permanent Secretary General, who is also the EU’s High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, at present this is Javier Solana.

- European Parliament: The 785 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are elected directly by the peo-ple in each European country, for a five year term. They are the representative of the people. The European Parliament shares the power of decision and legislation with the Council of the European Union: its vote is necessary to pass a text, and if needed, the decision must be discussed to find a common position between the Council and the Parliament.

2.2 Cooperation between the EU and TaiwanThere exists a lot of cooperation between the EU and Taiwan in a wide variety of areas. We have picked a sample few to show the different cooperation efforts between EU and Taiwan.Research: Taiwanese and European research institutions are partners in research programs funded by the Eu-ropean Commission, in fields such as information technology, health and others. An arrangement was signed between the European Commission and the National Science Council of Taiwan in 2003 to foster research cooperation. The action EuroTaiwan 2005 also aims at promoting cooperation in the field of information technology research – its website is at: http://www.eurotaiwan-it.org. More opportunities for cooperation in science and technology deserve to be exploited: visit the specific research page on the European Economic and Trade Office’s website.Higher Education: the European Commission’s Erasmus Mundus programme offers grants for students and scholars from Taiwan, as well as university partnerships, for a series of Masters Courses developed in the EU. Member States of the European Union also have their own grants programmes for Taiwanese students.Culture: exchanges in the cultural field are numerous, including cooperation between the cinema industries of Taiwan and Europe, exhibitions, publications of literary translations both ways, performance art etc.Trade: seminars and conferences are organised regularly between the European Union and Taiwan on trade and economic questions, in subjects such as intellectual property rights protection, technical regulations and standards, e-commerce or agricultural trade, among others.Representative offices: 16 Member States of the European Union have offices in Taipei. In addition, the Euro-pean Commission opened its office in Taiwan in 2003 (European Economic and Trade Office). You will find all their contact details at the end of this guide.

2.3 EU Declarations and Positions about TaiwanIn the framework of its Common Foreign and Security Policy, the Euro-pean Council regularly expresses positions about subjects of interest for the public in Taiwan, including declarations about stability in the Taiwan Straits, relations with China, the general situation in the Far East, etc.The European Parliament also regularly adopts resolutions on these questions.For information on how to access these declarations, please turn to the chapter on ‘’EU News Sources’’.

Why report about the EU?

3. Why report about the EU?The EU is a complex machine, because it does much more than an ordinary international organisation. The EU is also constantly changing, enlarging, deepening – and gaining clout and influence in world affairs. This is why it is worth spending some time, writing quality articles and providing sufficient reporting space about the EU.In short:

The EU is an important partner for Taiwan, in terms of trade, investment and cooperation in different are-as.

The EU is an increasingly important player in world and regional politics, diplomacy and security questions. Its common diplomacy has global impact and influence, because it represents 27 countries, 493 million people, is the world’s biggest economy and the world’s biggest aid donor.

The EU is a global trend-setter in progress and innovation in crucial areas such as scientific research, health, protection of the environment, food safety or consumer protection, among other sectors. For example, EU rules on environment-friendly electronic products (WEEE, RoHS and EuP directives) need to be applied by Taiwanese producers if they want to sell their products in the world’s leading market. The EU always requests the views of interested parties before it adopts new regulations: it is also important that the press in Taiwan alerts interested parties here about these consultations, so that their voice can be heard.

The EU is a unique model of how to establish long-term peace in a region devastated by several wars in the last centuries. It is an inspiring example of how hatred and hostility can be replaced by cooperation and soli-darity, based on the common values of democracy and human rights.

The EU has a model of its own on social questions and welfare, the approach to education, with a worth reporting, lively debate on-going about these areas.

Europe has a rich unique cultural diversity, which makes it an endless source of good reporting opportuni-ties. It is of course also, a great destination for tourism, history and heritage, and a world provider of high end luxury brands and top-class football!

The public in Taiwan is interested in learning about the EU and Europe in general, but still lacks news sources about it: reporting about the EU will help your news or media organisation make the difference and enlarge your audience!

EU News Sources

4. EU News SourcesDirectly accessing first-hand sources from the EU Institutions is the best way to get your facts straight and correct.All EU Institutions offer a lot of on-line news and background information for journalists. They all have on-line press rooms, where you will find press releases, can subscribe free of charge to news alerts and newsletters, and can find contact details of press officers and spokespeople etc.

4.2 Search the News Database http://europa.eu/rapid/

The ‘’Rapid’’ press release database, with European Commission press releases and a selection of other EU Institutions press releases since 1985, offers a full-text search service. Be aware, though, that press releases from other Institutions apart from the Commission might take a few weeks to be added to the database: if you are looking for a very recent declaration from the Council, for example, it will be best to go directly to the Council’s website (http://www.consilium.europa.eu/).How to search: just enter the time range of your search, your chosen criteria in the ‘’Text’’ field, and click ‘’Search’’. For example, a search with ‘’Taiwan’’ in the text field will provide 33 results from August 2004 to August 2005. These will include speeches by Commissioners, declarations from the European Council Presidency, debates and resolutions from the European Parliament etc… You can then download the entire document.

4.8 Call the Spokespeople

Every EU Institution has one or more spokespeople, most of them highly specialised in certain areas. While European civil servants are not usually allowed to talk ‘’on the record’’ to the press, spokespeople are pre-cisely the people who can answer your questions. It will still be necessary to decide with them, for each inter-view, whether they talk to you on the record or for background, i.e. if you can cite them by name and present their declarations as official or not. If you want to call the relevant spokesperson, please refer to the list at the end of this guide.

For the European Parliament, of course, apart from spokespeople, you can also interview Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) directly. The European Parliament has, in particular, a Parliamentary Friendship group with Taiwan, chaired by MEP Georg Jarzembowski (contact details can be found on p. 20-26 of this guide).

EU Videos

7. EU Videos All video material in chapter 7 of this guide can be re-broadcast free of charge for information and education purposes, provided the source is credited.

7.1 Europe by Satellite http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/ebs/schedule.cfm

Europe by Satellite (EbS) broadcasts a daily service of EU-related video news, documentaries, reports and live coverage both by satellite and on-line, several hours a day. Unfortunately, the satellite coverage does not reach Asia at the moment. EbS is thus only available in Taiwan on-line, in streaming video format, very useful to follow EU news on video, but the quality does not allow re-broadcasting by TV news services. On EbS, you can, for example, follow the daily midday press briefing live from the European Commission press room (at 12:00, Brussels time). You can also access on-demand video of past broadcast.

7.2 Europa Audiovisual Service Videos and TV Link Europe Videos http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/index_en.cfm http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/video_prod_en.cfm?type=docu_vnr

This service offers video documentaries on all aspects of the EU’s activities. All video documentaries can be previewed in Real format, and ordered free of charge from the Audiovisual library service in professional format. Sound requirements (with or without commentaries) can be satisfied in most cases, when a broad-caster wants to translate the original oral commentaries, from one of the EU official languages, into the local language. Order forms and shotlists are also available on-line. Most videos are available for download directly in professional MPEG2 format (beware: large files!).You can also contact directly the audiovisual service by e-mail at: mediatheque@ec.europa.eu

EU videos on education and culture, the environment, energy and transport, external relations, research and health and consumer protection can also be found at the very good TV Link Europe service http://www.tvlink.org/

This is a professional-oriented service, and you should not hesitate to use it if you are interested in broad-casting one of the videos proposed. Most videos can be previewed on-line in Real or Windows player format, and then ordered in professional format for broadcasting. You can also subscribe to a newsletter to be kept informed of new releases.

Videos on the EU’s external relations can be found at http://www.eurworldtv.com/ Likewise, these videos can be ordered in a choice of several formats and re-broadcast free or rights.
