Kelet-Európát közönyösen hagyta a Juncker-terv

Bruxinfo - Wed, 01/06/2016 - 12:00
Annyira sikeresnek ítéli az Európai Bizottság az európai stratégiai beruházási alap (EFSI) eddigi működését, hogy ősszel a Juncker-tervnek is nevezett beruházási program meghosszabbítását készül javasolni. A program egyik szépséghibája, hogy az új tagállamokban mérsékelt érdeklődés kíséri főleg a vissza nem térítendő támogatások iránti erős vonzalmuk miatt.

Du Congrès des maires de France à la Fondation Schuman, en passant par un déjeuner avec l'Association de la presse présidentielle : Jean-Claude Juncker a eu un emploi du temps chargé lors de sa visite hier à Paris. Fidèle à son style inimitable de franchise mêlée de détachement, le président de la Commission européenne a balayé l'ensemble des sujets européens et n'a pas esquivé la situation française, marquée par les grèves à répétition autour de la loi travail.

En Afrique, les «budgets citoyens» sont un outil parfait contre la corruption

Slateafrique - Wed, 01/06/2016 - 10:39

Loi de finance, budget de l’État, programmation budgétaire sont des instruments d’une grande complexité. Face à des concepts abstraits et une terminologie étrange, la plupart des citoyens (et contribuables) se sentent mal informés sur les actions et priorités de leur gouvernement. Pourquoi?

Weekly Update from the OSCE Observer Mission at Russian Checkpoints Gukovo and Donetsk based on information as of 24 May 2016

OSCE - Wed, 01/06/2016 - 10:21

This report is for media and the general public.

SUMMARY

Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy, Russian Federation. The Observer Mission (OM) continues to operate 24/7 at both Border Crossing Points (BCPs). The overall cross-border traffic increased at both BCPs.

OPERATIONAL REMARKS

The OM is currently operating with 20 permanent international staff members, including the Chief Observer (CO). The Mission is supported administratively by a Vienna-based staff member.

OBSERVATIONS AT THE BORDER CROSSING POINTS

Persons crossing the border

The profile of the people crossing the border can be categorized as follows:

  1. Adults travelling on foot or by car with little or no luggage;
  2. Persons in military-style outfits;
  3. Families (often including elderly people and/or children) on foot or by car with a significant amount of luggage.

The average number of entries/exits increased overall from 10, 690 to 10, 736[1] per day for both BCPs compared to last week; the average net flow for both BCPs went from plus 975 to plus 219 (i.e. more entries into the Russian Federation).

The Donetsk BCP continued to experience more traffic than the Gukovo BCP. The cross-border movements registered at both BCPs accounted for almost 37% of all entries/exits in Rostov region.

Persons in military-style outfits

During the reporting period, the number of men and women in military-style outfits, crossing the border in both directions at both BCPs, decreased from 186 last week to 141 this week; 78 of them crossed into the Russian Federation while 63 of them crossed into Ukraine. Approximately 76% of this category’s crossings occurred at the Donetsk BCP. Men and women continued to cross the border individually or in groups. Most individuals crossed by foot, however some made use of private vehicles, busses or minivans, making it more difficult for the Observation Teams (OTs) to observe their movement across the border.

Families with a significant amount of luggage

During the reporting period, the OTs observed families, often with elderly people and/or children, crossing at both BCPs with a significant amount of luggage or travelling in heavily-loaded cars; two families were observed crossing into the Russian Federation while seven were observed crossing into Ukraine.

Bus connections

Regular local and long-distance bus connections continued to operate between Ukraine (Luhansk region) and cities in the Russian Federation. In addition to regular bus connections, the OTs continued to observe bus connections on irregular routes. Often the busses do not state their route; instead they just have a sign on the windshield saying “Irregular”.

Among the bus connections observed by the OTs, the following “irregular” routes or destinations were noted: Alchevsk-Kharkiv-Kyiv, Rovenki-Kyiv, Kirovsk-Moscow, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Odessa.

On some occasions, the OTs noticed the bus drivers removing the itinerary signs from the windshields of their busses. The majority of long-distance coaches commuting between Luhansk region and cities in the Russian Federation have license plates issued in Luhansk region.

Trucks

During the reporting period, the OM continued to observe trucks crossing the border in both directions and at both BCPs. Compared to the previous week, the number of trucks increased from 519 to 788; 413 of these trucks crossed to the Russian Federation and 375 crossed to Ukraine.

Most of the trucks observed by the OTs were registered in Luhansk region.

Separately, the OTs also observed tanker trucks crossing the border in both directions. The number of tanker trucks increased from 43 last week to 51 this week. These trucks were observed crossing the border at both BCPs. These trucks, for the most part, had the words “Propane” and “Flammable” written across the tanks in Russian or Ukrainian. The majority of tanker trucks have hazard signs, indicating that they are transporting propane or a mix of propane with butane.

All trucks undergo systematic inspection by Russian officials, which may include an X-ray check. During the reporting period no X-ray checks could be observed at the Gukovo BCP since the OT has no view of the mobile X-Ray, but it could be heard operating several times during the reporting period. 145 X-ray checks were observed at Donetsk BCP. Out of these 145 trucks scanned during the reporting period, 95 trucks (66%) were bound for Ukraine; the remaining 50 trucks (34%) crossed into the Russian Federation.

Minivans

During the reporting period, the OM continued to observe passenger and cargo minivans[2], crossing the border in both directions and at both BCPs. The OTs observed minivans predominantly registered in Luhansk region; however, the OTs frequently saw minivans registered in the Russian Federation.

Compared to the previous week, the number of cargo minivans increased from 333 to 360; 170 crossed to the Russian Federation and 190 to Ukraine.

Trains

The OTs continued to pick up on the sound of trains running on the train tracks located approximately 150 meters south-west of the Gukovo BCP. During the reporting week, the OTs heard trains on 10 occasions; the OTs estimated that seven trains were going to the Russian Federation and three trains were bound for Ukraine. The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine was informed about the trains bound for Ukraine. Visual observation was not possible because of the line of trees in between the train tracks and the BCP and unfavorable light conditions.

Other observations

The majority of vehicles crossing the border have license plates issued in Luhansk region or in the Russian Federation.

The OTs continued to observe vehicles with Ukrainian license plates, including articulated trucks with “LPR” or “Novorossiya” stickers, or in rare cases “DPR” stickers on their license plates masking the Ukrainian flag.

During the reporting week the OTs at the Donetsk BCP observed two ambulances with no (visible) wounded persons observed on board crossing the border in both directions.

EU to sign Economic Partnership Agreement with the South African Development Community EPA Group

European Council - Wed, 01/06/2016 - 09:53

On 1 June 2016, the Council authorised, on behalf of the EU, the signature and provisional application of the economic partnership agreement (EPA) between the EU and the South African Development Community (SADC) EPA Group. The South African Development Community EPA group comprises Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland. 

The signing ceremony of the SADC-EU EPA is due to take place in Kasane (Botswana) on 10 June 2016.

The economic partnership agreements are intended to enhance regional integration and economic development in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. They are based on the principle of asymmetrical market opening, meaning that they provide a better access to the EU market for ACP partners. They notably offer unprecedented market opportunities for agricultural and fisheries products.  EPAs replace the previous market access regime of unilateral preferences for ACP countries.
