Vertigo Moulinsiana
Desmoulin's whorl snail (''Vertigo moulinsiana'') is a species of minute air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc or micromollusc in the family Vertiginidae, the whorl snails. This species was named in honor of the early-19th-century French naturalist Charles des Moulins. Habitat Desmoulin's whorl snail inhabits calcareous wetlands, where there are tall sedges, saw-sedge (''Cladium mariscus''), reed-grass (''Glyceria maxima'') or the reed ''Phragmites australis''. Distribution The distribution of this species is Atlantic (the part of the Palearctic area which is under the direct climatic influence of the Atlantic Ocean), and southern-European. This small snail occurs across Europe as far north as southern Sweden. Within Western Europe, only the populations in England (Great Britain) and Ireland are considered to be viable, although further populations exist in the Czech Republic (critically endangered, occupying the White Carpathians Biospher ...

European Commission
The European Commission (EC) is the executive of the European Union (EU). It operates as a cabinet government, with 27 members of the Commission (informally known as "Commissioners") headed by a President.
