Indeed, a dynamic country such as Canada requires dynamic and flexible immigration policies that adapt to the times.

In addition to the above mentioned effects on plain line track and switches and crossings, high-speed traffic has a critical effect on the dynamic behaviour of railway bridges depending on the frequency of repetition of the vehicle axle loads, and they constitute an interface with the rolling stock subsystem.

Against this background, it is necessary to define a completely electronic dynamic purchasing system for commonly used purchases and to lay down specific rules for setting up and operating such a system in order to ensure the fair treatment of any economic operator who wishes to join.

5. A "dynamic purchasing system" is a completely electronic process for making commonly used purchases, the characteristics of which, as generally available on the market, meet the requirements of the contracting entity, which is limited in duration and open throughout its validity to any economic operator which satisfies the selection criteria and has submitted an indicative tender that complies with the specification.

Marine science: The aim is to improve our knowledge of a number of basic processes implicated in the functioning of marine systems, such as circulation and dynamics of water masses, biogeochemical processes (e.g. quantification of carbon flows and understanding of the carbon cycle in coastal, continental and deep seas), geophysical role of sediments, behaviour of ecosystems, etc. 2. Science and engineering of coastal areas: The research will concentrate on the study of currents ...[+++], waves, the behaviour of sediments and the impact of the various factors on the stability of coastal structures.

THE CINEMA'S FIRST CENTURY At the initiative of the French delegation, the Council adopted the following Resolution on the cinema's first century: "THE COUNCIL Aware of the place which the cinema has occupied for a hundred years in our common cultural heritage and the importance of its influence on the development of other means of expression and communication both in the arts and in the media; Aware of the fundamental role as a witness to the history of our community which the cinema has played throughout that period, Recognizing the importance of the cultural, technical and economic exchanges it has led to in Europe, Whereas the centenary of the invention of the cinematograph will be celebrated in the next few years, AGREES, with a view ...[+++]to celebrating the centenary of cinema, to: - increase action to restore films from the European heritage in the context of greater co-operation between Member States' archives, notably in the framework of the MEDIA programme (Lumière project); - encourage the dissemination of this heritage in European festivals and cinemas in initiatives to highlight the importance of this heritage for the future of European cinema; - promote awareness of the artistic trends of European cinema, its pioneers and its schools, in the interests of a continuing dialogue with contemporary film-makers; CALLS ON the Commission to participate in this campaign, in particular in liaison with the Council of Europe, by: - continuing and expanding its activities to commemorate this centenary, particularly as part of its action in support of film festivals; - helping to give maximum publicity to action taken in all Member States".
