This report provides a response by the European Union Committee to the EU's reform of the sugar regime. The Committee welcomes such a reform. The current system protects the EU sugar market through a support system of guaranteed minimum prices, different production quota levels, import tariffs and export funds. Under the text, to be agreed by the European Parliament, the minimum price will be cut by 36% over four years, with production quotas merged into a single quota. The result of such changes, will mean some factories will close and jobs lost. Another consequence will be a reduction of sugar production by almost 40%. These reforms will also affect countries outside the EU border. Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific enjoy preferential access and rates for imports of their sugar, and who will face challenges in the face of a reformed sugar regime
Bob demonstrates his storytelling skills in this collection of seventeen of his best short stories. Bob set his story Three for Dinner in Boston, where he lived for many years, because he couldn't find a five-star French restaurant within hundreds miles of the Chihuahuan desert where he now lives, writes and sets most of his stories.

In this book, my unedited autobiography, I explain how, with my pronounced limited academic ability, I managed to utilize both positive and detrimental factors from my early childhood to my advantage in order to accomplish my ultimate success in life. I discuss the many hardships and hurdles I encountered during my seemingly-impossible educational path. My eventual goal was also undoubtedly attributed to my life-long ability of being able to over-achieve and out-perform. Simply put, I had to be subjected to many needless but necessary stressful situations along with a combination of other factors in order to obtain what seemed to be an un-attainable goal.

In the nineteenth century, more than a third of American hospitals were established and run by women with religious vocations. In Say Little, Do Much, Sioban Nelson casts light on the work of these women's religious communities.

In this comparative, contextual, and critical work, Nelson demonstrates how modern nursing developed from the complex interplay of th...
