EDA and SESAR JU sign Memorandum of Cooperation

EDA News - lun, 19/12/2016 - 17:14

The Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency (EDA), Jorge Domecq, and the Executive Director of the SESAR Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU) Florian Guillermet, have today signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) which promotes collaboration on SESAR 2020, the next phase of research and innovation in air traffic management.

The MOC builds on existing working arrangements and ensures that, pursuant to EDA’s role, military views will be taken into consideration in the context of SESAR ATM Research and Development.

The MOC seeks to align civil and military technological development initiatives wherever possible and optimises the use of expertise and available resources, notably in relation to space based systems, remote piloted aircraft systems, cyber security, ATM standards development, the European ATM Master Plan and evolutions of military capabilities and technologies.

“This memorandum of cooperation reinforces EDA’s relationship with the SJU, in support of our role to ensure that military interests and specificities are taken into account in the further evolutions in the Single European Sky, particularly in relation to SESAR 2020 and RPAS Air Traffic Insertion (ATI). It also underpins our joint objective to identify opportunities for civil-military synergy in the context of dual-use R&T projects, notably in support of the recently established RPAS ATI coordination mechanism between the European Commission, EASA, SJU and EDA”, said Jorge Domecq, EDA.

“It is only through the effective collaboration of military and civil aviation stakeholders that we will achieve our mission to modernise Europe’s skies. Building on an already solid relationship, this renewed cooperation with the EDA will further facilitate coordination of military views across the SESAR JU research and innovation activities in SESAR 2020”, said Florian Guillermet, SJU.

Lagarde found guilty of gross negligence

The European Political Newspaper - lun, 19/12/2016 - 16:53

The managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, has been found guilty of criminal negligence on Monday, France 24 reports.

IMF in turmoil

Ms. Lagarde began her second five-year term at the I.M.F. in February. She was appointed following the resignation of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, when the former director was forced to resign following his arrest.

The decision is likely to have repercussions both on the political climate in France and the I.M.F.The IMF is currently dealing with a hot agenda that includes Greece, not unlike the situation of 2011.

Lagarde served as the finance minister of former President Nicolas Sarkozy. At the time, she approved an out-of-court settlement with businessman Bernard Tapie. The “negligence” allegedly cost the French state €400 million.

Lagarde faces a year in prison and a €15,000 fine.

Background

In 1993, Tapie was appointed minister and was forced to sell his company (Adidas) to avoid conflict of interest. The company was bought by a state-owned bank, Crédit Lyonnais, which sold the company one year later for a 100% premium.

Tapie went to Court feeling he was entitled to that premium. The court’s awarded him with €100 million, but Lagarde approved an out-of-court settlement that granted him four times that amount.

Apparently, courts found that this was an inside “fraud” case. In 2013, Tapie was accused of conspiring with one of the arbitrators and Lagarde’s chief of staff to defraud the state. In 2015, the businessman was forced to return the money he was awarded.

The tribunal is not accusing Lagarde of being a co-conspirator, but that she was ill-informed and negligent.

The post Lagarde found guilty of gross negligence appeared first on New Europe.
