  And the winner is.......
  
  On the first day of January the Economic and Social Committee launched a video competition titled "Europe Past Forward". For six weeks, everyone involved did their best to spread the word in the hope that it would help generate awareness and entries.
  
  Honestly, when starting a competition like this, there is no way to know how it will work out. There is always the nagging fear that the world will ignore you and there will be no entries. This is even more worrying since the hurdle for entrants to pass is so high. Anyone that has used a home video camera and uploaded the footage to a video sharing website will know that it can be quite time consuming. In comparison to entering a competition, that effort is nothing.

  Good-bye Durban (being optimistic)
  
  The Durban-negotiations may end up with concrete measures to fight climate change, or maybe Roadmaps for individual countries, or with improvements of the Climate Fund - or with just diplomatic talk and no concrete results. The final results will only be known when we are on the plane, going back.

  LIFE programme (Environment and Climate Action) - 3 questions (+1) to Pedro NARRO, rapporteur for the opinion NAT/547
  
  Since its creation, in 1992, the LIFE programme has been one of the EU's main sources in support of the climate and the environment. The European Commission has recently made a proposal to continue the programme for the period 2014-2020 and introduced some significant changes. We had a chat with Pedro Narro, member of the NAT section, who was the rapporteur for the recent opinion on the LIFE Programme.

  Give a Soul to Europe on Europe Day
  
  The cooperation we have had in the EU is a success! You may think it is crazy and naïve to say so in times of crisis, turmoil, unemployment and insecurity across Europe. Still I want to say it today, on Europe Day, as we must dare to see things in perspective.
