How much of Europe is with us?
Brussels - posters everywhere, constantly campaigning on TV. Next Sunday will Europe choose its parliament.
Why? What we bring to the regulations and directives from Brussels and Strasbourg? Especially cucumber, okay. But this is rather silly, so this policy is also tilted back. What else? Where Europe provides our daily lives? Surprisingly, everywhere - and that makes the choice so important to us.
Do you know of Directive 2005/32/EC? Or 96/62 EC? Maybe fall in the key words or eco-directive on air quality of the penny? Not? In this shape the everyday life but your life. The former ensures that you not buy at the hardware store from September, the good old light bulb can. And the latter is responsible for ensuring that sticks to the windshield of your car a little badge.
Both laws were behind it, although passed by the Bundestag, but is actually the originator of the EU. Brussels and Strasbourg are responsible for an impressive 84 percent of our German law. In the previous legislative period, 10 279 of our laws went into the account of EU politicians.
Some mean cost and bureaucracy, simplify our lives but many. As the Regulation to improve passenger rights, which grants us with flight and train delays reimbursement. Or to limit the roaming charges that mobile phone calls on vacation can not be too expensive.
Or the policy for safe toys that will protect our children. Thanks to the EU are allowed to cosmetic companies in the advertising does not lie on the effectiveness of a cream and organic products must also be organic be in it. "There's long been a power shift from the national parliaments rather than with the EU ', Dieter Wolfram, Scientific Director said at the Center for European policy. Only in the areas of social protection, employment law, civil law and education, the German politicians are largely free in their room for maneuver.
"The lobbyists have recognized this shift," says Wolfram. "Look at the number of associations in Brussels! The low awareness of the citizens of the European Parliament is in inverse proportion to its importance. "
Why do we itch Europe so little? "Because the law in Europe is very complicated," says Wolfram. "The people involved are largely unknown, there is no identifiable structure of government and opposition, so that no clear dividing lines."
2004 just 43 percent of Germans went to the polls this year, experts fear an even worse outcome. Europe does not matter what matters is national. Fallacy! Our future will be decided on many points this Sunday.

"I can understand if people are afraid. I too have a queasy feeling about the impending flooding of the pit, "says Anne Schmitges.
"The construction companies, the KVB and the city would have more, faster and above all, honest information about the need to botch", throws it against the parties.
"Everything slice by slice to learn from the EXPRESS, without being informed by the authorities, is not a good use of those directly affected. Moreover, it is said to often by the archive. More importantly, however, that because two people had to leave because of bungling their lives. How could this be, when supposedly everything is fine? "
The 67-year-old retiree has lived for 26 years in the house at the Pipinstraße. From her balcony, she looks for years deep in a hole. Although she was worried about the flooding. "But I'm not really afraid," she says. "I find myself funny. Maybe it's because every day I speak with the workers and just have a feeling that not one those people cheat. "

Hans-Jürgen quite different Zundel (53), who lives in the house. "Of course I'm afraid," he says. "Ideally I would take off." He had abdominal pain, feel the morning rhythmic vibration when being worked in the trench with heavy equipment. "The construction companies are talking out only, no one takes responsibility."
Cologne and many ask questions: When the excavation is flooded Haymarket? Rhine is a critical level of 6.50 meters. The flooding, with 32 million gallons of water would be an additional safeguard, according to city. Before Saturday is not decided about it. The residents will be notified in advance.
Running in a flooded the basements of neighboring houses full? "The water level in the 'closed' pit has no effect on the neighboring houses," said Jochen Keysberg of the Association of the construction companies. Flooding and rising groundwater will not be affected. The city said: "The stability of the houses is considered to be safe."
Why measurement protocols were forged? Keysberg: "It could be that the measurement has failed. About other subjects I want to say anything because of the prosecutor investigations. "
Were indications before the collapse of archive, such as mass-cracks in the houses, ignored? This keeps Stadtdirektior Guido Kahlen least possible: "The cracks in the city archive, we have studied may not be sufficient."
Had the accident with two more controls to prevent dead? KVB chief Juergen Fenske explains: "There was a supervision of the KVB. But whether this was sufficient, I can not say, which is checked ruthlessly. "
Why are after a year cause and culprits are still not fixed? The presumed crash site of the slat 11 is 40 meters deep. To explore a Besichtungskeller it must be built. In order to destroy it, no evidence that they had decided to proceed with the utmost care and for investing more time.

The expensive offices in the Nobel mile is the Lord Mayor had long been a thorn in the flesh: even in times of cultural alderman Marie Hüllenkremer OB Fritz Schramma called to find a cheaper alternative.

"We have rented the entire building and pay for the empty offices, including ancillary costs 570.000 € annually," said press chief officer Gregory Timmer.

"The money is a strong argument," admits Prof. Quander. But: He and his colleagues do not want to "uncivilized" side of the Rhine. "We have a lot to do in the downtown area. Here are the museums and the artists - and we must be reachable at all for them. The Deutz townhouse is so warped - as it is not easy to find someone! "
Dr. Lothar Theodor Lemper, cultural policy spokesman of the CDU can not follow the reasoning: "If I walk into the culture department, because I have never seen an artist."
He's annoyed about the waste of money: "If we were only saved half of the rent to the free theater, which would be much help!"
Even Fritz Schramma OB is pushing for the move: "Following the Kienbaum report, the city must optimize the use of space. I will ensure that there is the move! "

Frontzeck: My plans with Borussia

Borussia in Bochum have a 3:0-half-squandered leadership - you remember it in the team meeting?
For everyone involved it was an attractive Bundesliga game - just not for the coaches. Neither Marcel Koller nor I have said before: Go out and play 3-3 times.
What do you talk to on Saturday?
I am convinced after the preparation that the team is right where I want them to have. I have seen no evidence that any of the accelerator goes down.
What we have prepared ourselves, we want to confirm.
Patrick Herrmann (18) is the first time in the Bundesliga squad.
Patrick Herrmann has played a good half against Arnhem, Oberhausen come in. and has left a good impression in training camp. I see that he can help us.
The sooner you put young players about this and they can make their experience - the better it is for the guys. I have felt firsthand.
How do you rate Bochum?
Bochum has something before. Bochum will not descend too. Anyone who looks back, knows how difficult it is to play Bochum. Borussia won the last 14 Bundesliga matches against Bochum none.
Bochum Away is very unpleasant. They understand it well, play on the counterattack and turn around very well. We have great respect for Bochum, but nothing more. Regardless of the opponent, we try to push through our own game - with the spectators in the back.
They stood in the first round behind them - even after six defeats in a row.
In the last ten years, it was at Borussia so that more phases came, was weggehauen where the coaches and managers of the head. Therefore, there is no continuity.
So you have to ask ourselves: Why always this way? Why do not you go to another time: not because I'm such a nice guy, but because eventually can develop something.
What are your plans?
Before the season, we have issued a clear objective. Of these, we are not far away. In addition, we have said we want to do with this squad. There's no newcomer, we have made none.
So this is it. We have no interest in the winter always bring four new, and then six more in the summer. We eventually want to have a team time, a foundation on which we say three or four people who improve us in the summer - nothing more. So that we can take the next small step.
