«Reformat gjatë kësaj periudhe kanë qenë të kufizuara dhe përveç disa ecurive në fusha të veçanta, rekomandimet e raportit të vjetshëm nuk janë zbatuar siç duhet», shkruhet në raportin e sapo-publikuar të Komisionit Evropian. Pa asnjë ndryshim, e njëjta fjali si në raportin e një viti më parë dhe të njëjtat kritika dhe rekomandime nga Komisioni Evropian për Shqipërinë në përmbledhjen e raportit të këtij viti.

31.03.2004 El debat sobre les conseqüències que generarà la implementació de l'ALCA (Acord de Lliure Comerç de les Amèriques) és un dels més punyents, en l'actualitat, al continent llatinoamericà. El moviment contra l'ALCA d'Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Paraguai i Uruguai es va concentrar a principis de març a Buenos Aires per denunciar un cop més aquest tractat econòmic. Dels debats en va sortir una nova declaració de principis amb el nom Declaració de la Campanya contra l'ALCA. No és no.

30.03.2004 Last week's federal budget fails to address flaws in Canada's provincial equalization program, says a study released today. Often called confederation's "glue," equalization is the formula-based program of federal grants paid annually to provinces with below-average revenue capacity. Today's study says the formula's flaws - coupled with shrinking federal transfers overall - are now depriving have-not provinces to a degree that is unconstitutional.

 Luiz Inázio 'Lula' Da Silva, President of Brazil
30.03.2004 The cabinet ministers of Luis Inacio "Lula" da Silva's government who have kept the Brazilian economy in a neo- liberal economic straight-jacket are coming under sustained attack from the more popular sectors of the governing Workers Party. Even Lula himself has given signs he is moving away from the budgetary and financial prescriptions imposed by the International Monetary Fund that he has adhered to during his first fifteen months in office.

29.03.2004 Never mind that Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio is already second-best among G-7 economies. The dominant feature of last week's Liberal budget is that it pumps $4-billion more into debt repayment - and probably more, given Paul Martin's tradition of lowballing surpluses. What about action on social housing? Child poverty? Employment Insurance reform? How long do Canada's poor have to wait?

29.03.2004 En 2003 au Canada, les femmes représentaient près des deux tiers des personnes qui travaillent au salaire minimum, alors qu'elles constituaient un peu moins de la moitié de l'ensemble des employés. D'après Statistique Canada, une femme sur 20 travaillait au salaire minimum, contre un homme sur 35.

26.03.2004 « Combien de femmes doivent mourir à Vancouver avant que le Premier ministre prenne action ? Combien de fois va-t-on tolérer l'impunité pour le viol et le meurtre de jeunes femmes comme Pamela George ? Le gouvernement fédéral va-t-il ignorer longtemps le meurtre d'Anna Mae Pictou Aquash ? Avec le budget proposé en mars 2004, le gouvernement Martin se complait dans l'inaction et la négligence », affirme Patti Doyle Bedwell, présidente du Groupe de travail sur les femmes autochtones de l'Association nationale des femmes et du droit (ANFD).

26.03.2004 Transparency Internationalin tämän vuoden raportti nostaa esiin poliittisen korruption. "Korruptoituneiden poliitikkojen oman edun tavoittelu vie peruspalvelut köyhiltä ja edesauttaa konfliktien ja väkivallan leviämistä", kärjistää Transparency puheenjohtaja Peter Eigen. Raportti myös listaa poliittisten johtajien omaan käyttöönsä ottamia varoja kahden vuosikymmenen ajalta.

25.03.2004 Arkikeskusteluissa työpaikkojen siirtyminen Kiinaan kuitataan usein pelkällä viittauksella sikäläiseen matalaan palkkatasoon. Ahjo-lehti tutkii asiaa perusteellisemmin ja tulee siihen johtopäätökseen, että siirtyminen johtuu pikemminkin Kiinan laajoista markkinoista. "Hikipajat" ovat ääritapauksia ja ulkomaisen yrityksen maksama palkka on usein kohtuullinen, artikkelissa todetaan.

24.03.2004 Never is the divide in Canadian society so wide as on budget day. When the bankers and the business community express smug satisfaction, the rest of us better take cover. When the Conservatives cry that there aren't enough tax cuts while health, education, housing and municipal needs go wanting, the differences between "them" and "us" become most clear.

24.03.2004 Canada's largest union says that yesterday's federal budget fixates on debt reduction while failing to tackle a gaping social deficit. The union offers its analysis of what Canadians needed - and what they got - in several key sectors: health care, public infrastructure, child care, post-secondary education, income security, social housing and employment support.

24.03.2004 Yesterday's federal budget is a platform for inaction supported by "old tricks," charges the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Deferring its opportunity to invest in rebuilding a country, the Martin government has continued its tradition of low-balling surplus estimates while stressing debt reduction. "It's like paying off the mortgage when the roof is leaking and the foundations are crumbling," said CCPA economist Ellen Russell. "Eventually, the house isn't liveable anymore."

24.03.2004 Paul Martin a livré un budget conservateur, qui donne de l'argent aux amis du régime et des miettes aux autres, a soutenu le Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique (SCFP) en réaction au budget fédéral dévoilé hier. Selon le syndicat, Paul Martin ne fait rien pour empêcher la privatisation croissante du système de santé et fait en sorte que les impôts servent non pas à offrir des soins de qualité, mais plutôt à assurer des profits aux entreprises.
