COP15: Towards another wasted summit
16 November 2009PresseuropBerlingske Tidende
Uninhabitable and relentlessly pummelled by the stormy waters of the North Atlantic, the tiny island of Rockall has been coveted for conquest by four European countries for half a century. The reason they’re so keen on the island lies below: the huge oil reserves hidden in the surrounding seabed.
The Sweden Democrats’ breakthrough at the polls on 19 September is no anomaly: throughout northern European, in societies hitherto admired for their tolerance and cohesion, overtly xenophobic parties are now riding a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment.
Reminiscent of the cod wars of the seventies, Scotland and Norway are urging the EU to impose sanctions on Iceland and the Faroe Islands, accused of gobbling up North Atlantic fish stocks.
In virtually every major European city, long-established locals and artists are fighting against the gentrification of their neighbourhoods. But the arty types are falling out of favour, observes the author Tanja Dückers. No longer hailed as the rebellious vanguard, they are actually bent on joining the establishment.
Inaugurated on 1st July 2000, the Øresund Bridge, which links Malmö and Copenhagen, has become the centre of a bi-national region that has yet to establish its identity.
In less than a decade, the Danish People's Party has risen from the rank of a small movement to that of a fully accredited member of the political establishment. While it has always theoretically formed part of the opposition, it has nonetheless succeeded in exerting a growing influence on the government in Copenhagen, explains De Groene Amsterdammer.
Following the example of Copenhagen, more and more Danish local authorities are encouraging local citizens to inform on neighbours involved in benefit fraud. Politiken deplores a shift in policy, which it believes will undermine the rule of law.
Every year European royal families receive more and more public money, while the nature of their personal fortunes often remains a well-guarded secret. In the wake of controversy sparked by recent revelations about undisclosed assets belonging to the King of Belgium, Rzeczpospolita reports that the question of regal coffers and what they should contain is once again in the news.
A French parliamentary commission recommends banning the burqa in certain public places. Though the issue is hotly contested in Denmark as well, the European press seems leery of actually outlawing the full Islamic veil.
One year after Barack Obama announced his intention to dismantle Guantánamo, 198 prisoners still remain at the notorious detention centre. Colm O'Gorman in the Irish Times argues that Europe, having facilitated extraordinary rendition flights and CIA secret detention centres, made Guantánamo possible, and must open its doors to former detainees.
Widely hailed as one of the last chances to save the planet, the Copenhagen conference has proved unequal to the challenge, laments the European press. From diplomacy to the economy, it may be time to learn a lesson or two from this global washout.
They come to Denmark disguised as pirates to frighten the guardians of the fossil-fuel energy system, or to stage mock trials of CO2–spouting polluters: tens of thousands of climate activists have descended on Copenhagen. But behind their seemingly united front, the big climate organisations are at loggerheads, reports Die Zeit, over whether to join or disrupt the talks.
The Copenhagen summit, which is opening with great ambitions, might well come up with no deal at all – or worse: a short-lived deal that never gets ratified or implemented. Climate sceptics, for their part, challenge the very premise of the conference. Here’s today’s press in review on the COP15.
The ban on building new minarets on mosques approved by Swiss voters on 29 November is an “in-your-face” attack on Muslim residents. But it also points up a socio-political problem that concerns every country on the continent, opines the European press.
