Fifty years ago, when I began exploring the ocean, no one not Jacques Perrin, not Jacques Cousteau or Rachel Carson imagined that we could do anything to harm the ocean by what we put into it or by what we took out of it.

The tribunal concluded that there was discrimination based on the status and situation of the family in Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse vs. Jacques, J.E. 2004 1520 (T.D.P.Q.

The President said that, with the assistance of Mr. Jacques Bilodeau (Canada), he would undertake consultations on nominees for the Compliance Committee and report back to the COP MOP at a later session.

One of the most famous of these guys, Frere Jacques, shown here doing a lithotomy which is the removal of the bladder stone, one of the most invasive surgeries they did at the time had to take less than two minutes.

The founders passed the torch on to the generation of Jacques Delors, Helmut Kohl, François Mitterrand, Václav Havel, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, and others. They broadened and deepened European cooperation.

The European Council, which represents member states in the structures of the Union, could be given a more public character. It could then be seen, in a bicameral system, as a kind of Chamber of Nations within the framework of what Jacques Delors called a federation of nation states.

In 1979, the IMF economist Jacques Polak, who had been part of the Dutch delegation at the Bretton Woods conference, outlined a plan for doing just that. His recommendations include, first and foremost, making all of the IMF s operations in SDRs, which would require ending the separation of the IMF s SDR and general accounts.

The 12 years of Jacques Chirac s presidency, together with France s tradition of alternation in power, suggests a victory for the left. Positioning himself as the candidate who represents a sharp break with today s unpopular politics is the only means to escape that fate.

Their commander in the film, Colonel Mathieu (based on General Jacques Massu), explained the logic of the situation from the French point of view. The way to crack the insurgency was not to antagonize the people with oppressive, but useless measures it was to take out the FLN s command structure.

Jacques Delors, one of its architects, once called the single currency the jewel in Europe s crown. Abandoning it would be tantamount to declaring the entire European integration project a failure.

The process that began with the report of the Delors Committee in 1989 and led to the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, the establishment of the euro in 1999, and the introduction of the physical currency in 2002 was rooted in an attempt to devise mechanisms that would generate a more stable global exchange rate regime.

The committee that drafted the report now known as the Delors Report, after its chairman, Jacques Delors was a fundamentally rather conservative group of central bankers, with even the governor of the Bank of England (BoE) signing on. Its internal debates highlighted two problems of the potential monetary union.

Speaking at a TED Salon in London, economist Martin Jacques asks How do we in the West make sense of China and its phenomenal rise? The author of When China Rules the World, he examines why the West often puzzles over the growing power of the Chinese economy, and offers three building blocks for understanding what China is and will become.

The events of 2007 2009 made it clear that there were serious gaps and inconsistencies that needed to be addressed. So, following the recommendations of a report prepared in 2009 by former IMF Managing Director Jacques de Larosière, the European Commission created three new pan European authorities charged with ensuring consistent application of European directives.

When politicians debated the EU s future, they spoke of finality the end formula of European integration, as defined in a famous lecture by German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer in 2000. The accompanying intellectual debate, inaugurated by the philosophers Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida, defined the nature of European identity, above all, against the foil of the United States, but also in terms of the challenges posed by globalization.

First, the share of government debt that can be pooled must be strictly limited, leaving each country responsible for a significant portion of its national debt, and therefore motivated to maintain sound public finances. (Several initiatives have aimed to achieve this, notably Jakob von Weizsäcker and Jacques Delpla s 2010 Blue Bond proposal.)

In the 1950 s, the French economist Jacques Rueff, a close adviser to Charles de Gaulle, argued that L Europe se fera par la monnaie, ou ne se fera pas (Europe will be made through the currency, or it will not be made). Germany s President Richard von Weizsäcker echoed this view almost a half century later, declaring that only via a single currency would Europeans achieve a common foreign policy.
