Abstract
The paper outlines the history of the European Fibres Group (EFG) and includes its aims and achievements from the time of its formation in 1993 to the present day. The main emphasis is on the subject of "the evidential value of fibres", how the EFG have provided the data and where to locate it. Additionally the paper provides a look into what the group has accomplished in the recognition of the "lack of data" and the research being conducted to correct this problem. Finally it outlines other projects that are underway to improve its members' knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
The article reports on the curriculum for the bachelor degree suggested by the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Science Division of Analytical Chemistry (EuCheMS-DAC). It states that many students are often lacking in the physics of classical mechanics and optics, of which some requires familiarity with aspects of geometry. It also discusses the concepts of physics which are important in teaching analytical chemistry.

Abstract
The article presents updates related to analytical chemistry in Europe. The European Analytical Column will be inviting guest columnists who will give his or her opinion on issues related to analytical chemistry in the region. Hendrik Emons, professor at the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM), says the demand for information regarding the interrelations of chemical composition-structure-properties are abundant. Heiner Korte resigned as Secretary for the Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC).
