European energy
The European Union (EU) revealed on January 23rd, 2008, how it plans to save the world. A mammoth climate-change plan spells out in detail how much pain each of its 27 members will have to bear if the EU is to meet ambitious targets set by national leaders last March.
The aim is to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 2020 by at least a fifth, and more than double to 20%
the amount of energy produced from renewable sources such as wind or wave power. If fuel from plants proves
green enough, 10% of the fuel used in transport must come from biofuels by the same date. The new plan turns these goals into national targets. Cue much grumbling, and no doubt months of horse-trading, as the European
Commission's recommendations are turned into binding law by national governments and the European
Parliament.
Countries with greenery in their veins are being asked to take more of the burden than newer members.
Sweden, for example, is being invited to meet 49% of its energy from renewables. At the other end, Malta gets
a renewables target of just 10%. It is a similar story when it comes to cutting greenhouse gases: by 2020, Denmark must cut emissions by 20% from 2005 levels; Bulgaria and Romania, the newest members, may let
their emissions rise by 20%.
EU leadership on climate change will not come cheap. The direct costs alone may be i60 billion ($87 16 billion), or about 0.5% of total EU GDP, by 2020, said the commission's president, José Manuel Barroso. But this is still presented as a bargain compared with the cost of inaction, which Mr. Barroso put at ten times as high. Oh, and leading the world in the fight against climate change need not cost jobs, even in the most heavily polluting branches of heavy industry. “We want to keep our industry in Europe”, insisted Mr. Barroso.

Energia europeia
The European Union (EU) revealed on January 23rd, 2008, how it plans to save the world. – A União Europeia (UE) revelou em 23 de janeiro de 2008 como planeja salvar o mundo.A mammoth climate-change plan spells out in detail how much pain each of its 27 members will have to bear if the EU is to meet ambitious targets set by national leaders last March. – Um gigantesco plano para as alterações climáticas descreve em pormenor o sofrimento que cada um dos seus 27 membros terá de suportar se a UE quiser cumprir as metas ambiciosas estabelecidas pelos líderes nacionais em Março passado.
The aim is to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 2020 by at least a fifth, and more than double to 20% the amount of energy produced from renewable sources such as wind or wave power. – O objetivo é reduzir as emissões de gases de efeito de estufa até 2020 em pelo menos um quinto e mais do dobro, para 20%, da quantidade de energia produzida a partir de fontes renováveis, como a energia eólica ou das ondas.
If fuel from plants proves green enough, 10% of the fuel used in transport must come from biofuels by the same date. – Se o combustível proveniente de plantas se revelar suficientemente verde, 10% do combustível utilizado nos transportes deverá provir de biocombustíveis até a mesma data.
The new plan turns these goals into national targets. – O novo plano transforma essas metas em metas nacionais.
Cue much grumbling, and no doubt months of horse-trading, as the European Commission's recommendations are turned into binding law by national governments and the European Parliament. – São muitas reclamações e, sem dúvida, meses de negociação, à medida que as recomendações da Comissão Europeia são transformadas em lei vinculativa pelos governos nacionais e pelo Parlamento Europeu.
Countries with greenery in their veins are being asked to take more of the burden than newer members. Sweden, for example, is being invited to meet 49% of its energy from renewables. – Os países com vegetação nas veias estão a ser convidados a assumir mais encargos do que os novos membros. A Suécia, por exemplo, está a ser convidada a satisfazer 49% da sua energia a partir de fontes renováveis.
At the other end, Malta gets a renewables target of just 10%. – No extremo oposto, Malta tem um objetivo de apenas 10% de energias renováveis.
It is a similar story when it comes to cutting greenhouse gases: – A história é semelhante no que diz respeito à redução dos gases com efeito de estufa:
by 2020, Denmark must cut emissions by 20% from 2005 levels; Bulgaria and Romania, the newest members, may let their emissions rise by 20%. – até 2020, a Dinamarca deve reduzir as emissões em 20% em relação aos níveis de 2005; a Bulgária e a Roménia, os membros mais recentes, podem deixar as suas emissões aumentar em 20%.
EU leadership on climate change will not come cheap. – A liderança da UE em matéria de alterações climáticas não será barata.
The direct costs alone may be i60 billion ($87 16 billion), or about 0.5% of total EU GDP, by 2020, said the commission's president, José Manuel Barroso. – Só os custos diretos poderão ascender a 60 mil milhões de dólares (87,16 mil milhões de dólares), ou cerca de 0,5% do PIB total da UE, até 2020, afirmou o presidente da comissão, José Manuel Barroso.
But this is still presented as a bargain compared with the cost of inaction, which Mr. Barroso put at ten times as high. – Mas isto continua a ser apresentado como uma pechincha quando comparado com o custo da inação, que Durão Barroso estima ser dez vezes mais elevado.
Oh, and leading the world in the fight against climate change need not cost jobs, even in the most heavily polluting branches of heavy industry. – E liderar o mundo na luta contra as alterações climáticas não tem de custar empregos, mesmo nos sectores mais poluentes da indústria pesada.
“We want to keep our industry in Europe”, insisted Mr. Barroso. – “Queremos manter a nossa indústria na Europa”, insistiu o Sr. Barroso.

Two weeks after the Islamists of Hamas toppled the border fence, letting hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of the Gaza Strip spill briefly into Egypt, the situation appears to have returned to what counts as normal. But normal is not good.
Gaza’s 1.5 million people remain besieged, generally unable to leave, and with imports restricted to minimal amounts of staple food and fuel. The Hamas militants who have run Gaza since ousting their secular-minded Fatah rivals last summer have continued to fire rockets and mortars into Israeli towns and farms.
As a possible harbinger of more violence to come, Hamas has also taken again to sending suicide bombers into Israel. In the first such Hamas operation since blowing up two buses in Beersheba in 2004, a pair of suicide bombers, reportedly former inmates of Israeli prisons from Hebron in the West Bank, killed a 73-year-old woman in the southern Israeli town of Dimona on February 4th 2008. Israel responded the same day with new missile attacks, killing nine armed Hamas men.
Now, a fortnight since Hamas forces engineered the Gaza break-out, the Egyptian authorities have resealed and reinforced the border, some 12 km (7.5 miles) long, with thick coils of razor wire and hundreds of extra troops; they say they will resist another attempt to knock a hole in it.
Their will was tested this week, when Egyptian security forces clashed with stone-throwing Palestinians.

❑ TEXTO 3: Text for questions from 07 through 09.
Nationalisation is becoming rather fashionable. State bailouts of banks are all the rage too. There is just one snag: western institutions are not getting their cash from ministers in London or Washington, but from functionaries in Beijing.
While Britain’s chancellor still balks at taking Northern Rock into public ownership, his counterparts in China have no qualms about investing state money in the private sector. This week Beijing bought a 10% stake in the Wall Street blue chip Morgan Stanley; in May it took a slab of the private-equity giant Blackstone. Those two deals, worth just over £4bn, were made by the China Investment Corporation (CIC), a fund set up and run by the government. With over £100bn to burn, it is bound to make more big deals — and big headlines — over the coming year. CIC is one of a new breed of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) created by nations awash with excess cash from exporting goods or oil. Most oil-producing Arab countries have one, as do Russia, Korea and Singapore, and the funds are estimated to be worth a total of a trillion pounds. The logic behind them is simple: if energy-rich Russia is earning around £425m from exports every day, it naturally wants to invest that money for a higher return. But the impact of these new vehicles is far less straightforward, and it has largely been left to economics wonks to worry about them (even now, a Google search for “SWFs” brings up page after page about some graphic-design software). At last, however, they are entering political debate. The IMF is working on a code of conduct for the funds, while the rich nations’ club, the OECD, is coming up with guidelines for recipients. Such users’ manuals have their place, but on their own they are not an adequate answer to the issues raised by SWFs.
At their most basic level, these funds (which are projected to be worth £7.5 trillion within a decade) embody a shift of economic power from Europe and America to China, Russia and elsewhere. They sum up one of the global economy's problems too: the west is consuming far more than it is producing. SWFs are also a new and very different kind of investor.

Nationalisation is becoming rather fashionable. – A nacionalização está se tornando bastante na moda.
State bailouts of banks are all the rage too. – Os resgates estatais aos bancos também estão na moda.
There is just one snag: western institutions are not getting their cash from ministers in London or Washington, but from functionaries in Beijing. – Só há um problema: as instituições ocidentais não recebem o seu dinheiro dos ministros de Londres ou de Washington, mas sim dos funcionários de Pequim.
While Britain’s chancellor still balks at taking Northern Rock into public ownership, his counterparts in China have no qualms about investing state money in the private sector. – Embora o chanceler britânico ainda hesite em tornar o Northern Rock propriedade pública, os seus homólogos na China não têm escrúpulos em investir dinheiro do Estado no sector privado.
This week Beijing bought a 10% stake in the Wall Street blue chip Morgan Stanley; in May it took a slab of the private-equity giant Blackstone. – Esta semana, Pequim comprou uma participação de 10% no Morgan Stanley, blue chip de Wall Street; em maio, tomou uma fatia da gigante de private equity Blackstone.
Those two deals, worth just over £4bn, were made by the China Investment Corporation (CIC), a fund set up and run by the government. – Estes dois negócios, no valor de pouco mais de 4 mil milhões de libras, foram efectuados pela China Investment Corporation (CIC), um fundo criado e gerido pelo governo.
With over £100bn to burn, it is bound to make more big deals — and big headlines — over the coming year. – Com mais de 100 mil milhões de libras para gastar, é provável que faça mais grandes negócios - e grandes manchetes - durante o próximo ano.
CIC is one of a new breed of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) created by nations awash with excess cash from exporting goods or oil. – A CIC faz parte de uma nova geração de fundos soberanos (SWF) criados por nações que têm excesso de dinheiro proveniente da exportação de bens ou de petróleo.
Most oil-producing Arab countries have one, as do Russia, Korea and Singapore, and the funds are estimated to be worth a total of a trillion pounds. – A maioria dos países árabes produtores de petróleo tem um, tal como a Rússia, a Coreia e Singapura, e estima-se que os fundos valham um total de um trilião de libras.
The logic behind them is simple: if energy-rich Russia is earning around £425m from exports every day, it naturally wants to invest that money for a higher return. – A lógica subjacente é simples: se a Rússia, rica em energia, está a ganhar cerca de 425 milhões de libras com as exportações todos os dias, é natural que queira investir esse dinheiro para obter um rendimento mais elevado.
But the impact of these new vehicles is far less straightforward, and it has largely been left to economics wonks to worry about them (even now, a Google search for “SWFs” brings up page after page about some graphic-design software). – Mas o impacto destes novos veículos é muito menos simples e tem sido largamente deixado aos especialistas em economia preocuparem-se com eles (mesmo agora, uma pesquisa no Google por “SWFs” traz à tona página após página sobre algum software de design gráfico).
At last, however, they are entering political debate. – Mas, finalmente, eles estão entrando no debate político.
The IMF is working on a code of conduct for the funds, while the rich nations’ club, the OECD, is coming up with guidelines for recipients. – O FMI está a elaborar um código de conduta para os fundos, enquanto o clube das nações ricas, a OCDE, está a elaborar orientações para os beneficiários.
Such users’ manuals have their place, but on their own they are not an adequate answer to the issues raised by SWFs. – Esses manuais do utilizador têm o seu lugar, mas por si só não constituem uma resposta adequada às questões levantadas pelos fundos soberanos.
At their most basic level, these funds (which are projected to be worth £7.5 trillion within a decade) embody a shift of economic power from Europe and America to China, Russia and elsewhere. – No seu nível mais básico, estes fundos (que se estima que valham 7,5 biliões de libras dentro de uma década) representam uma mudança de poder económico da Europa e da América para a China, a Rússia e outros lugares.
They sum up one of the global economy's problems too: the west is consuming far more than it is producing. – Resumem também um dos problemas da economia mundial: o Ocidente consome muito mais do que produz.
SWFs are also a new and very different kind of investor. – Os fundos soberanos também são um tipo de investidor novo e muito diferente.
