The Schengen area
Schengen measures provide for the abolition of
controls at the internal borders of the Schengen
Member States, establish common rules on checks
at the external frontiers, provide for a common
visa policy and introduce accompanying measures
which enable the lifting of the internal border checks
(in particular in the field of police and judicial
cooperation in criminal matters). These rules have
thus direct implications for citizens in the area of free

Environmental trends and
perspectives in the western
Balkans: future production and
consumption patterns
EEA Report No 1/2010
This study looks at the forces shaping the future of
the environment in the western Balkans, and in
particular at the role of consumption and production
patterns. The study begins with a review of key
recent environmental trends in the region. It then
analyses the drivers — such as social, political and
economic forces — that are shaping production and
consumption patterns. Changes in these patterns will
directly influence the region’s environment.
It concludes by looking at how different actors in the
region can act to shape environmental futures.

The factory of life
Why soil biodiversity is so important
Biodiversity loss and climate change are two of
the most pressing challenges of our time, and soil
biodiversity is part of the solution to both. Yet it is
under constant threat, largely from human activities
that we can control. It is our responsibility, therefore,
to preserve the quality of soil before it is too late, and
before its resident species and their fragile habitats
are lost. That is why, at the European Commission, we
have put soil at the heart of our thinking.

words, to experience the feeling of belonging to the
same European community.

Women in science
Today, women are actively participating in science,
while the number of women among the world’s top

science would be unrecognisable without the major
contributions made by women. This volume shows
that, despite the invisibility of women in the historical
narrative of mainstream science, science was not
always exclusively a man’s world.

EU-MIDIS
European Union minorities and
discrimination survey
Main results report
This is the first-ever EU-wide survey of immigrant and
ethnic minority groups’ experiences of discrimination
and victimisation in everyday life. Addressing the
lack of reliable and comparable data on minorities
in many EU countries, it examines experiences of
discriminatory treatment, racist crime victimisation,
awareness of rights and reporting of complaints.
EU-MIDIS involved face-to-face interviews with
23 500 persons from selected immigrant and
ethnic minority groups in all 27 Member States
of the European Union. Some 5 000 persons from
the majority population were also interviewed to
compare the results.

OSH in figures: work-related
musculoskeletal disorders in the
EU — Facts and figures
The World Health Organisation has defined a workrelated
disorder as one that results from a number
of factors, and where the work environment and the
performance of the work contribute significantly, but
in varying magnitude, to the causation of the disease.
The term musculoskeletal disorder denotes health
problems of the locomotor apparatus, i.e. muscles,
tendons, the skeleton, cartilage, the vascular system,
ligaments and nerves.
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders include
all musculoskeletal disorders that are induced
or aggravated by work and the circumstances of
its performance.

Workplace violence and
harassment:
a European picture
Concern about the effects of workplace violence and
harassment on the health and safety of workers has
been growing over the last decade. Both third-party
violence and harassment may have extremely negative
consequences for the individuals affected and their
families, co-workers and organisations, as well as
society as a whole.
The report concludes that there is a clear need
to promote and disseminate good practice and
prevention measures that are sensitive to the national
context. Some measures proposed by the European
Union, ILO, WHO and national experts are
presented in the report.

Harm reduction:
evidence, impacts and challenges
Harm reduction encompasses interventions,
programmes and policies that seek to reduce the
health, social and economic harms of drug use to
individuals, communities and societies.
A core principle of harm reduction is the development
of pragmatic responses to dealing with dug use
through a hierarchy of intervention goals that place
primary emphasis on reducing the health-related
harms of continued drug use.

European guidelines for quality
assurance in colorectal cancer
screening and diagnosis
First edition
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common newly
diagnosed cancer in Europe and the second most
common cause of cancer deaths. In the 27 Member
States of the EU, approximately 330 000 new cases
and 150 000 deaths occur each year. Many of these
deaths could be avoided through early detection, by
making effective use of screening tests followed by
appropriate treatment.
These guidelines aim to point out the need for
appropriate quality assurance at all levels when
performing CRC screening.

Screening for cytological abnormalities and treatment
