- Summary/Abstract:The European Union is founded on ‘unity in diversity’: diversity of cultures, customs and beliefs - and of languages. Multilingualism is one of the basic principles and key features of the European Union. It refers to both a person’s ability to use several languages and the co-existence of different language communities in one geographical area. Bearing in mind that there are 23 official languages of the Union, and 60 or so other indigenous languages and a number of non-indigenous languages spoken by migrant communities, the importance of multilingualism in European Union cannot be understated.

- Summary/Abstract:Poland is a member of the European Union since May 1, 2004. It has to abide to the obligations connected with the membership, whether they stem from directly or indirectly applicable instruments, directly or indirectly effective ones and so on. That is why the topic of the pre-accession adaptation may seem to be a subject of historical importance only, not deserving special attention more than five years after the accession. That is true only partly. First, for the non-member states taking into consideration the perspective of possible future accession it is still important which instruments are to be adopted before the accession and which could be adopted on its day. Secondly, the appropriate adaptation is a deal made for the future, that is the moment of the accession and the time of membership. On the other hand, any mistake made at the occasion of the preaccession adaptation may have (and usually has) the tendency to persist and can give rise to the claims of the Commission, the other Member States before the ECJ and the private parties before domestic courts.

- Summary/Abstract:To large extent Estonia’s current political and economic state can be considered as a result of its’ geographic position, demographic structure and especially its history. After centuries of Danish, Swedish, German, and Russian rule, Estonia obtained independence in 1918. After a short German occupation Estonia was forcibly incorporated into the USSR in 1940 until it regained its freedom in 1991, with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Even though the constant occupation by foreign powers has also caused some reluctance to joining international organisations which seemed to limit the newly gained independence, Estonia soon started negotiating international treaties, to promote economic and political integration in Western Europe. In the spring of 2004 it joined NATO and the EU.

- Summary/Abstract:Before Laertes leaves the Danish Court his father, Polonius, gives him some useful advices how to behave himself in France: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.” In times of an economic crises caused by easy credit conditions, sub-prime and predatory lending, mortgage bubble etc., these words seem to be especially wise.

- Summary/Abstract:Public procurement could be defined as a process whereby public sector organisations acquire goods, services, works and utilities from the private sector. There are two important parts of the economy that are involved in the public procurement: public sector as contractor and private sector as bidder. The establishment of a legal framework in the area of public procurement and its effective implementation is an important tool for eliminating preferential public procurement practices and favourable market positions of nationally and locally operating firms. Public procurement regulation is an essential instrument in the fight against corruption.
