The European Union is one of the principal international actors trying to alleviate the suffering caused by the natural disaster in Haiti. Humanitarian aid and assistance for long term development are needed from the more fortunate parts of humanity.
Eur-Lex, the legal portal of the European Union, has published a new thematic file on EU legislation in the field of humanitarian aid: emergency aid, food aid and aid for refugees.

P.S. Following or participating in the debate about the European Union within national confines is not enough, if you want to understand what the EU is doing and where it is heading. At the same time you can brush up your language skills in an enjoyable manner, by reading great euroblogs such as Coulisses de Bruxelles.
Written by Jean Quatremer, Coulisses de Bruxelles is listed with more than 500 great Euroblogs on growing multilingual Bloggingportal.eu, your useful one-stop-shop for fact, opinion and gossip on European affairs, i.a. politics, policies, communication, economics, finance, business, civil society and law. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed for new blog posts appearing on Bloggingportal.eu.
Yesterday was the one year anniversary of Bloggingportal.eu. During this first year the number of blogs almost doubled. You can propose a blog on European affairs for inclusion, if it is not already listed.
By the way, I also discuss European issues in Finnish on Eurooppaoikeus and in Swedish on Grahnblawg.

European Union: Renewable energy legislation
The latest thematic file on EU legislation over at the legal portal Eur-Lex is Renewable energy (posted 26 June 2009).
Overview of EU law
Thematic files are collections of legal documents on specific fields of EU activity (legislative instruments, preparatory acts, case law, parliamentary questions, etc.).
The idea is not to be exhaustive but rather to group together the most relevant current legislation on the subject in question.
You can consult related acts and/or acts amending original acts in the bibliographic entry for each document.
***
The thematic files are handy references for everyone interested in a particular policy area.

Legislation on European Parliament (Eur-Lex)
About legal materials related to the European Union.
Just in time for the European Parliament elections, the European Union’s legislative portal Eur-Lex has published a new thematic file with legislative instruments, preparatory acts and other acts on the European Parliament.
The thematic files are potentially useful for those who are interested in a certain area, but here I would like to add a word of caution. I checked two documents to verify the quality:
1) First, the European Parliament’s Rules of Procedure. The primary reference is to the original edition published in the Official Journal in 2005, but even if you look for the later information, you would miss later and the latest amendments in force, those entering into force after the European elections and the ones lying in wait in case the Treaty of Lisbon enters into force.
2) With regard to the Act concerning the elections of the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage, you almost have to know in advance that you need to find the consolidated version, if you want meaningful information.
***
Two suggestions: The thematic files could become even more user-friendly by checking possible amendments, recent or lying in wait, with the relevant services. It might be a good idea to refer directly to the consolidated versions of acts (if any); the researcher who needs the original acts can easily find them from there by going in the reverse direction.

EU: Common Fisheries Policy (CFP)
The Eurpean Union’s common fisheries policy (CFP) is the point where dwindling fish stocks, oversized fishing fleets and undersized fishing revenue clash.
Eur-Lex is the web portal for legal information about the European Union. In addition to treaties, secondary legislation, preparatory acts, procedure tracking and other factual information, Eur-Lex runs a service called Thematic files.
The Thematic files collect the most relevant legal acts, preparatory acts and other acts of a specified policy area, and group them together for interested users, without further comment.
A short while ago, we signaled the new thematic file on Human rights. The latest addition is The common fisheries policy (CPT), dated 13 May 2009.
The available thematic files are found here.
