1 go to http://www.emea.eu.int/
2 try to click on a link

expected result : functional links
actual results : nothing happens

The cause is that they have a positionned div element like this :

<div id="Layer4" style="position:absolute; width:1460px; height:865px;
z-index:47; left: 0px;">

The z-index CSS rule makes sure that a huge transparent div is put in front of
real content, apparently to create a falling snow effect (bad coded and only
working in IE4/NS4 compatinble browsers).

Solution : remove the Z-index <div> element, replace the 1999 snow effect with
the corrected and working one the author published in 2002 :
