The most important EU Institutions are the European Council which sets the overall political direction (led by Herman von Rumpuy); the European Commission which represents the interests of the Union as a whole; the Council of the European Union which represents the goverments of the individual member countries and the European Parliament which represents the EU's citizens and is elected by them. Other EU institutions are the Court of Justice which upholds the rule of European law; the Court of Auditors which checks the financing of the EU's activities and many more. the European Economic and Social Committee represents civil society, employers and employees the Committee of the Regions represents regional and local authorities the European Investment Bank finances EU investment projects and helps small businesses through the European Investment Fund the European Central Bank is responsible for European monetary policy
Together, these three institutions produce through the "Ordinary Legislative Procedure" (ex "co-decision") the policies and laws that apply throughout the EU. In principle, the Commission proposes new laws, and the Parliament and Council adopt them. The Commission and the member countries then implement them, and the Commission ensures that the laws are properly applied and implemented. Two other institutions play vital roles: the Court of Justice of the EU upholds the rule of European law the Court of Auditors checks the financing of the EU's activities. The powers and responsibilities of all of these institutions are laid down in the Treaties, which are the foundation of everything the EU does. They also lay down the rules and procedures that the EU institutions must follow. The Treaties are agreed by the presidents and/or prime ministers of all the EU countries, and ratified by their parliaments.

specific creole languages. The Flag The flag of Louisiana Creoles was designed by Pete Bergeron in 1987 and adopted by C.R.E.O.L.E., Inc. a Lafayette based African-American heritage preservation group. The Flag of Louisiana Creoles represents the cultural melting pot that is the Louisiana Creoles. The first flag was hand stitched by Bergeron's sister, Delores Kay Conque of Carencro, La. By adopting the Creole flag, C.R.E.O. L.E., Inc. upholds its mission statement, "to identify, preserve and promote the numerous aspects of the Creole culture in southwest Louisiana. Today there are Creole populations in New Orleans, St. James Parish, Isle Brevelle, Cane River, Opelousas, Lafayette and other Louisiana towns. The Creole flag celebrates the mixed lineage, culture and religion of these Louisiana Creoles. The upper left section, a white fleur de lis on a blue field, represents Louisiana's French heritage. On
There are not enough melanocytes available to fill the white areas as their surface expands. This means that the black domains can end up pushed together to form a single tuxedo style black area (albeit there may be some small white markings in this single black area). The white belly area might be a ventral (belly) seam from a ventral crack earlier on - it is suspected that the belly area expands greatly during embryo growth. Megacolon in cats and exposed gut conditions in some rabbits upholds this theory. Black feet could indicate a black domain that has been pushed to the foot extremity by the expansion of the ventral region at the same time that the limbs are being formed. Where the white spotting occurs over the eyes, it may affect the eye colour. Thus a few bicolour cats have blue eyes. Another interesting effect of white spotting is in tortoiseshell cats. Tortie cats with little or no white tend to have brindled coats with intermingled black and orange hairs
