Last New Year's Eve, Debbie Mardon did not celebrate with noise makers or confetti -- instead, she headed to Cairo's
main square to participate in the Gaza Freedom March with her son and daughter. It was an unlikely place to be for a

EU AND ISRAEL COLLABORATE ON CLEANER, DEADLIER AIRCRAFT ENGINES
By David Cronin, The Electronic Intifada, 22 June 2010

BRUSSELS (IPS) -- European Union subsidies earmarked for reducing air travel's contribution to climate change may
help develop deadlier warplanes than those already found in the world's arsenals, Brussels officials have admitted.
Some 1.6 billion euros ($2 billion) has been allocated to the EU's Clean Sky project, which aims to develop aircraft
engines that emit half as much carbon dioxide as those now in use.
