L’association Kino Visegrad a été créée à Paris en 2014 afin de promouvoir la cinématographie et la culture des pays d’Europe centrale, et plus précisément de la Hongrie, de la Pologne, de la République Tchèque et de la Slovaquie.
Soutenue par le Fonds Visegrád et coopérant avec les instituts culturels des pays concernés situés à Paris, l’association organise régulièrement des projections au cinéma l’Entrepôt (14e), à l’Institut Hongrois, au Centre tchèque, mais aussi à l’INALCO et à la Sorbonne.
Kino Visegrad œuvre également auprès des distributeurs français pour promouvoir la sortie en salles de films en provenance de l’Europe Centrale et de l’Est, à l’appui d’un travail d’encadrement et de logistique.
Afin de toucher l’ensemble du public de la zone francophone, un partenariat est désormais établi avec UniversCiné, une plateforme V.O.D. reconnue et soutenue par le programme MEDIA auprès de la Commission Européenne.

Anlasslose Kontrollen an den Grenzen zu EU-Nachbarstaaten dürfen nicht der früheren Grenzbewachung entsprechen, hat der EuGH entschieden.

On 21 June 2017, the Council and the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement on a proposal for a revised directive concerning the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The agreement will have to be confirmed by the EU ambassadors (Coreper) during their meeting scheduled this Friday, 23 June.
The new directive revises the scope of the Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2). It includes amendments aimed at establishing equal treatment of products covered by the Directive, proposes to exclude a particular product: pipe organs; and specifically, addresses concerns arising from the "open-scope" product group.
"We have reached a deal with the European Parliament to reduce hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. With this new legislation, we are improving the prevention and management of waste and encouraging the reuse and recycling of those products and materials in the EU. The Maltese presidency is determined to move the EU forward towards a more circular economy."
José Herrera, Minister for Sustainable Development, the Environment and Climate ChangeThe main purpose of the amended text is to address a number of problems which were identified in the evaluation carried out by the Commission in relation to the scope of the Directive. Specifically, it will ensure the possibility of secondary market operations (e.g. reselling, second-hand market) for electrical and electronic equipment that were newly covered by RoHS 2 and the use of spare parts for such equipment if they are put on the market before 22 July 2019.
Both the Council and the European Parliament are in favour of the approach followed by the Commission not to widen the scope of this revision and leave, as scheduled, the general review of the Directive for 2021. In the agreed text, the Commission is required to carry out this general review of RoHS2 by 22 July 2021.
In relation to applications for the renewal of an exemption warranted under the directive, the Commission will also have to inform applicants on the expected timing of the decision-making process.
Next stepsOnce the deal is approved by the Council's Permanent Representatives Committee the new directive has to be formally adopted by the Council and the European Parliament.
The legislative act will enter into force 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
BackgroundThe Commission submitted a proposal for a new directive amending Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) on 26 January 2017. The Council adopted its negotiating mandate on 14 June. On the same day, the European Parliament gave its authorisation to start negotiations immediately.
RoHS 1 and 2 have introduced measures to limit the presence of these harmful substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The existing Directive RoHS2 broadened the scope significantly as it now applies to all electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) placed on the EU market.

Ce livre aux propos pertinents bénéficie d'une riche iconographie, provenant le plus souvent des archives américaines ou de collections particulières. L'auteur explique son projet: "ans ce livre, j’ai voulu montrer comment les Etats-Unis ont transformé, en un temps record et avec le soutien des alliés, leur petite armée de volontaires en une armée de conscrits forte de plus de quatre millions d’hommes, dont deux millions ont été projetés en Europe."

Változhat a beutazási rend, eszerint mindenki számára egységesen kötelező lesz.
Az orosz belügyminisztérium benyújtotta a parlament elé azt a törvényjavaslatot, mely egységesítené az országba történő beutazási rendet. A törvény elfogadása után bárhonnan is érkezzen valaki (beleértve az Eurázsiai szövetség vagy a FÁK-tagállamokat is) csak ujjlenyomat leadása után léphetne be az országba függetlenül az utazás céljától.
A rendelet előírja, hogy a lakóhely szerinti konzulátus a fénykép mellett vegyen ujjlenyomatot is a beutazni szándékozóktól, melyet beléptetéskor a határon fognak leellenőrizni. A rendelet alól nem kivételek azon államok sem, melyek polgárai vízummentesen utazhattak be.
A belügyindoklása szerint a törvényre azért van szükség, mert csak tavaly 28 ezer olyan esetet fedeztek fel, mikor valaki idegen okmányokkal lépett be Oroszországba vagy megkísérelte azt. Ezek túlnyomó többsége Közép-Ázsiából érkeztek. Ezek az esetek pedig kiszűrhetők, ráadásul egységes adatbázis alapján bárhol el lehet végezni az ellenőrzést.
A jelenlegi szabályozás szerint is voltak olyan országok, melyekre vonatkozott az ujjlenyomat leadási kötelezettség illetve ugyanez volt az eljárás ha valaki munkavállalási vízumért vagy engedélyért folyamodott, emellett egy sor szakma orosz képviselőinek (pilóták, hivatásos katonák, vámhivatali dolgozók, stb.) is alá kellett magukat vetniük az eljárásnak.

June 20, 2017 (HAWASSA) – Ethiopia on Tuesday inaugurated what it said is the first specialised, sustainable textile and apparel industrial park in Africa.
The massive Chinese-constructed Hawassa industrial park (HIP) was inaugurated in the presence of Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn who officially declared the full operationalization of the park under phase one.
At the occasion, Hailemariam said Ethiopia's vision is to be the leading manufacturing hub in Africa by the year 2025.
“Our goal is to create millions of new jobs in labor-intensive and export-oriented light manufacturing”, he said.
He added “the full operation of the Hawassa industrial park is the most evident and concrete example yet towards achieving our national vision and marks a milestone in our quest to industrialisation”.
The Hawassa world-class eco-industrial park featuring state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly technology was built by Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) at a cost of about $ 322 million.
Covering an area of 1.3 million square meters, of which 300, 000-meter square is factory shed build up area, the park has so far attracted 18 leading textile and garment companies from across the world including from America, China and India.
Also, eight domestic investors have been meticulously selected and necessary preparations are finalised to facilitate their investment inside the park.
The park, built in record time nine months implements a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) that enables to recycle 90 %of sewerage disposal water and fulfils international standards.
The plant uses the latest technology and has the capacity for treating and recycling 11 million litres of effluent every day.
Ethiopia says its rapid economic growth can only be sustained through the realization of a structural economic transformation.
The country has been registering a strong and steady economic growth for more than a decade now, with an average GDP growth rate of 11%.
The most recent report from both the World Bank (Global Economic Prospect, 2017) and IMF (World Economic Outlook 2017) forecast that the horn of Africa's nation will be one of the fastest growing economies in the world and a star performer in the African continent in 2017.
Furthermore, Ethiopia has become one of the largest recipients of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the continent.
According to UNCTAD's 2017 investment report, Ethiopia is now the second largest recipient of FDI in textile and apparel next to Vitnam.
The Ethiopian Industrial Parks Development Corporation (IPDC) Board Chairperson Dr Arkebe Oqubay told journalists that development of world-class, specialised, sustainable, vertically integrated, export -driven and competitive industrial parks is the central drive toward realising vision 2025.
Arkebe, who is also Special Advisor to the Prime Minister, said currently there are some 10,000 employees in the Hawassa Park but at full capacity, the park will hire around 60,000 employees.
He added some companies in the park have already started to export and when the park starts production at full capacity, Ethiopia will earn around one billion USD every year from Hawassa Park alone.
Arkebe said the park could be considered as a model for other parks being built in other East African countries.
Including those two parks which recently operationalized, Ethiopia is currently building a total of 15 industrial parks across the country as part of its goal to emerge as continent's manufacturing hub.
Sudan Tribune has reliably learned that four more industrial parks namely Mekelle, kombelcha, Adama and Dire Dawa parks will be inaugurated till September.

June 20, 2017 (JUBA) – South Sudan's steering committee for the national dialogue says lack of funds hindering its efforts to consult exiled rebel leader, Riek Machar and opposition politicians abroad.
"A committee has being formed to consult with the leader of the SPLM-IO [Riek Machar] and all [South Sudanese in the] diaspora but as you know, the government has no money and members of the international community are yet to offer their support," said Alfred Taban, a member on the information committee.
"This is serious because without money, we cannot travel outside the country to meet refugees, politicians living in exile. This is a very important step in the national dialogue," he added, shortly after a meeting of the committee chaired by Angelo Beda on Tuesday.
President Salva Kiir launched the national dialogue committee last month as parts of efforts he said will restore confidence among the local communities divided by the war. The bottom-top approach is meant to address local issues as well as national political differences that morphed into the war along tribal lines three years ago.
The armed opposition faction loyal to ex-First Vice President Machar has dismissed the dialogue as a strategy to prolong President Kiir's legitimacy after the 2015 peace agreement collapsed last year.
International donors are also reluctant to fund the process after President Kiir said his main rival Machar should not participate in the process because "he will come and cause another trouble in Juba."
However, the national dialogue steering committee has insisted that all sides in the war must participate irrespective of President Kiir's refusal to dialogue with his arch rival. But without fund, amid the economic crisis in South Sudan, the process is likely to further delay.
