After an election campaign dominated by the euro zone crisis, the Netherlands will go to the polls on Wednesday in what could be a decisive day for Europe.
Caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte is currently leading the polls with 35 seats in the 150-seat parliament. His center-right, pro-austerity VVD party is expected to form a coalition government.
However, the outcome of the election is still uncertain as many voters remain undecided.
'The day after tomorrow is election day in the Netherlands, quite important for Europe. So it is of course important for political parties and so on. It's quite important for Europe, will there be a government afterwards, European oriented or is it âpull out the plug and we are living in out islandâ, Commissioner for Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes said at a Lisbon Council event.

The European Commission is gearing up to launch an ambitious plan that seeks to make the European Union more democratic.
From the 1st of April, any citizen of a member state of the EU can introduce an initiative to get his or her idea turned into EU law. To make that happen, they need one million signatures from at least seven countries.
Â
This European Citizens' Initiative enables citizens to participate more actively in Europe's democratic life.
â¨Brussels hopes the ECI will boost transparency and increases the quality of European democracy.
â¨â¨Critics question whether the instrument will be hijacked by organised civil society, swallowing up ordinary citizensâ campaigns. Some experts speaking at this conference in Brussels compare the initiative to "climbing Mount Everest". An ECI could take years to start influencing the policy-making process.
The initiative is one of the democratic tools pushed forward by the Lisbon Treaty. It will enter into force on the 1st of April of this year, exactly two ...

http://www.BKWineTours.com *Come on a wine & food tour with BKWine!* --- Interview with the founder, owner and winemaker of the winery Cortes de Cima: Hans Kristian Jorgensen, in the vineyards of the estate. Cortes de Cima is one of the leading wine estates in the Alentejo, a wine region an hour or two east of Lisbon that has undergone a revival in the last few decades.
Hans Kristian and his wife have a background in the plantation industry in Malaysia. They had a dream to start a vineyard. It could have been in Australia, in California or elsewhere. They happened to come to Portugal to visit friends with a sail boat and discovered the country. They liked the climate and the people. Probably the friendliest people in Europe, says Hans Kristian. That was in 1986. After two years they found the Cortes de Cima estate. The total area is 450 hectares of which 150 ha are planted with vines. There were originally only 5 ha of vines so virtually all is planted by the Jorgensens.
Life as a start-up winery was ...

Chamine is the entry level wine, a blend with mainly Portuguese grape varieties (aragonez, trincadeira and touriga nacional) and syrah, made to be fruity, silky tannins, young and fresh, an everyday wine.
The cuvee Cortes de Cima, in a way the flagship of the winery. It is a blend with the same grapes plus a bit of cabernet sauvignon, a bit barrel ageing (French and American oak). More full bodied, more complex, rich, deep.
Then come the varietals:
Syrah (of different kinds), trincadeira, and touriga nacional varietal wines (and some other). They are even more ambitious wines. The objective is to showcase the grape varieties, show the wine drinker what these grape varieties mean and their true character. The touriga ...

Martin Schulz, President of the European parliament group of Socialists and Democrats, talks to EUX.TV's Raymond Frenken about the UK plans to block a proposed increase of 6 percent in the European Union's budget. Schulz also comments on the EU summit talks about stronger economic governance and the possibility of a major revision to the Lisbon Treaty.
"If Cameron is prepared to give up the British rebate ... then we can for sure discuss a reduction of the budget."
"The European budget is not to be compared with national budgets," said Schulz. "There are no own resources. We have no European taxes. We have no own money. It is money coming from the member states. We can make no debts. The British budget must be reduced because there is enormous debt. Europe has no debts." Distributed by Tubemogul.

Santa Justa Elevator is an Eiffel Tower-like landmark overlooking the city
One of the Lisboa's best-loved landmarks and also known as the "Elevator of Carmo," this extraordinary structure was built at the turn of the century by the Portugal-born French architect Raoul de Mesnier du Ponsard (an apprentice of Gustave Eiffel), to connect downtown to Bairro Alto (the lowest and highest points of the city).
Originally powered by steam, it is 45 meters (147ft) high, and remains an interesting example of post-Eiffel iron architecture. The top of the Neo-Gothic tower, reached via a spiral staircase, has a cafe with splendid views of the city, including over Rossio Square, the castle and the river.

The moral of the story is simple, "Love the life you live and live the life you love." So when the delayed voicemail came in that I hadn't signed up to join my auto comrades in Lisbon, Portugal to play around with the nucleus of the BMW family -- the 5 Series -- I immediately switched gears faster than their new âSport Automaticâ 8-speed transmission, cleared my schedule and commenced working on my Portuguese. Obrigado (thank you) BMW was my initial thought, for the Bimmer "5" definitely makes its case to start at shooting guard on Automotive Rhythmsâ all-time starting five (no pun intended). The enlightenment of experimenting with the 5 Series on the glorious Oceanside roads of Cascais and Estoril racetrack in Portugal is what I deem a "profound moment of exposure!"

Everton manager David Moyes must do without John Heitinga and Marouane Fellaini for the Europa League last 32 first-leg
visit of Sporting Lisbon.
Heitinga is ineligible having already appeared in the competition for his previous club Atletico Madrid of Spain.
And Fellaini is recovering from the ankle injury that caused him to miss the victory against Chelsea last week.
Phillipe Senderos is doubtful with a back problem but Steven Pienaar returns after a domestic suspension.
And Tim Cahill believes the team's mental attitude can help them overcome their Portuguese opponents, despite being beaten
5-0 and 2-0 by Sporting's rivals Benfica in the group stages.
Sporting may have won their Europa League group, but they have struggled domestically and are currently a distant fourth
to Benfica in the Portuguese table.

With no one else present, Czech President Vaclav Klaus on Tuesday put his signature under the Lisbon Treaty on the future of the European Union. Klaus was the last European leader to sign off on the treaty that will, among others, create position known informally as 'European president' and 'European foreign minister.'
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said, in a message read to journalists in Brussels, that he hopes there now will be no further obstacles to the treaty, and that it can enter into force on the first of January 2010.
Barroso was not immediately able to comment directly because he was a one plan heading for Washington together with Fredrik Reinfeldt, Prime Minister of of Sweden, for a EU-US summit that also will include US President Barack Obama. Distributed by Tubemogul.
Dutch Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende, seen as frontrunner in the race for the post of first president of Europe, says in this Dutch television interview that he expects the Swedish EU presidency to call a special summit among EU leaders to choose the first 'President of Europe' once Czech president Vaclav Klaus has put his signature under the Lisbon Treaty.
