When some inhabitants of Scapoli decided to establish the cultural association "Circolo della Zampogna", the tradition of making and playing this ancient instrument was still deely-rooted in the local community, but they felt the need to preserve this heritage and to transfer it to the new generations. For that, many and various activities have been carried out, involving not only the zampogna makers and players but the whole community.

The main actions can be summarized in the following: Besides all the other good results in terms of preservation, promotion and revitalization, the project let the Circolo to take the first census of the cultural heritage connected with the zampogna, to collect materials and documents for the Italian centre of the Bagpipe, to realize a transnational cooperation project called "Common Sounds to the European Rural World" in cooperation with the Local Action Group "North Pennines" Northumber1ad, UK and above all to reinforce the link between the community and its heritage.

About the competence and the expertise in the domain of intangible cultural heritage, the personnel and the membership consist in: The "Circolo della Zampogna" was bom from the will of a consistent part of the local community "to do something" to safeguard, to promote and to transfer to the new generations the typical cultural heritage represented by the zampogna. Since its foundation joined the Association several zampogna makers and players that, both as group and individuals, are those who traditionally create, maintain and transmit this kind of heritage.

Besides, most of the activities have been carried out wit the involvement and the participation of the whole community, from its younger to the older members. At this regard, a very important and successful role has been played by the LEADER project "Living with the bagpipe" with which it has been possible to reinforce the relationship between people and their cultural heritage.

In each edition of the Festival the musicians involved, traditional and not, come from all over Italy and each time from 2, 3 or more foreign countries. The event is very well attended around Every year, on the occasion of the Assembly of the members, the Circolo organizes also 2 "Bagpipers Meetings", in Spring an in Autumn, in which the participants analyse what has been done and propose what could better to do in terms of safeguard, research, transmission and promoting of the zampogna tradition.

It has in addition been active in the valorization of the traditional Iiutery for the construction of zampogne a chiave,and other local traditional musical instruments like surduline, ciaramelle, tamburelli, cupa-cupa, fischiett di canna etc. This activity is carried out in the respect of the ancient craftship but with an opening towards the young generations through old and new forms of artistical expressions and through initiatives and collaboration and exchanges with local bodies, cultural institutions, universities, associations, etc.

The association promotes, organizes and eventually manages courses on traditional instrument and vocal music, traditional dance, seminars, stages and what more to disseminate the knowledge and the practice of the local musical tradition among young and elder people.

Moreover the association implements local historical research, safeguarding of the ethnic inheritage, re-discovery of instrument players and singers from the past through the publication of their original repertoires and documentation and a systematic data collection regarding the past and contemporary musical tradition.

The Association was created with the aim of reviving the still deeply-rooted tradition of making and playing the zampogna a chiave and the other local traditional instruments within the community all along the year and with particular regard to the religious feasts.

However, slowly the old bearers of tradition are disappearing and for such reason the members of the association together with community felt strongly the need to preserve this heritage and to transfer it to the new generations. In this direction, various initiatives have been implemented in time among which: Members of the association have competence and expertise with regard to the intangible cultural heritage as they are mainly traditional zampogna makers and players, other traditional instruments makers and players, dancers, ethnomusicologists, anthropologists, musicians and scholars, besides being all members of the various communities present in the Pollino area, including Arbresh representatives.

It is practically impossible to present a specific timeframe, as the activities are implemented daily, since the last generations of these families, and have always included transmission and safeguarding of the tradition and cultural heritage from one generation to the other.

In this area as in many other parts of Italy, playing the zampogna, dancing, singing, is part of every day, it is done when returning home after working in the fields, or else, as a means of being together and sharing among the members of the community its cultural tradition and also a way to reconfirm the community among its members.

Ce n'est pas un concept musulman, mais manque de bol, cette barbarie ne se pratique que chez les musulmans.

Je peux continuer de citer des exemples de ce genre sur 10 pages. Pour qui se battent nos militaires? L'un de nos internautes disait quelque chose comme Marlan?

Vous seriez incapable de faire un blog ouvert comme celui de Rioufol. Ils sont parfaitement capables de s'adapter aux circonstances. With the eruption of financial crisis and its transformation into an acute social and humanitarian crisis, there has been a continuous and rapid increase in the number of suicides, which in recent months have become a painful and virtually daily occurrence, shocking Greek society. Both suicides and suicide attempts are, in the overwhelming majority of cases, a reflection of increasing desperation and despair due to the extremely adverse socioeconomic conditions experienced by Greek citizens.

The lack of work and household over-indebtedness, the reduction in disposable income, and the poverty — particularly in its extreme forms, e. In this context and in response to the Commission's previous answer on the direct connection between the unemployment rate and the suicide rate, will the Commission say:. Does it have any recent statistics on variations in the suicide rate in the Member States? Will it take key actions to raise public awareness about suicide prevention, given the increase in unemployment which aggravates the risk of a proliferation of cases of suicide? Will it promote exchanges of best practices to identify the most appropriate ways of addressing this very painful social phenomenon?

Are there any funds available from the European Structural Funds for the psycho-social support of persons who are disadvantaged socially and economically e. Are there any statistics for take-up rates of the Member States in respect of psycho-social support programmes and unused funds that may be used for actions of this kind? Addressing suicide falls under the responsibility of Member States.

While preventing suicide is an issue falling under Member States' responsibility, work under the European Pact for Mental Health and Well-being, in particular as regards exchange between Member States on depression, can help support national action in suicide prevention. The Commission has no evidence on changes in the profile of people committing suicide — which is driven by a range of factors — and does not plan to take action to raise public awareness about suicide prevention. For example, the Greek Human Resources Development Operational Programme aims to promote the social and professional integration of vulnerable groups such as immigrants, disabled persons, and long-term unemployed.

Da allora non se ne hanno notizie: La Cina ha rotto le relazioni diplomatiche con il Vaticano nel e da allora molti vescovi non sono stati riconosciuti dalla CPA e sono stati incarcerati per una ventina o una trentina d'anni. A newly ordained Chinese bishop has been confined in a seminary near Shanghai after stepping down from his post in the government-backed Catholic Patriotic Association CPA. When the Vatican ordained this priest as a bishop, he resigned his position with the CPA to be in line with Rome.

This move was seen as a challenge to Chinese control over priests and bishops, and he has since gone missing. He is said to have been taken away and been refused contact with others. A Chinese investigation is pending. The EU follows closely the human rights situation in China and is particularly concerned by restrictions on freedom of religion and harassment of people in relation to their beliefs.

Il giornalista belga si era recato nella Repubblica democratica del Congo per il lancio del suo documentario. Inoltre, i diritti umani, e quindi anche il caso Chebeya, restano uno dei principali argomenti del dibattito politico regolare tra il governo della RDC e i capi missione. On entering the country, the journalist was stopped by customs at the airport and detained by three Congolese immigration officials.

His visa was arbitrarily annulled, he was put on a return flight, and he was forbidden from communicating with anyone in the Congolese territory by phone. He was in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to launch his documentary there. The Observatory is asking the Democratic Republic of the Congo to guarantee the physical and psychological well-being of all human rights defenders within its borders, as well as free movement throughout the country to the journalist in question. Is there reason to believe that others involved in human rights work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are in danger, and, if so, what action can we take on their behalf?

Taking into account widespread human rights violations in DRC, it remains important to us that the DRC government demonstrates its attachment to the fundamental values of freedom of press and expression. This strategy is one of the cornerstones of EU human rights policy in DRC and includes dedicated human rights programmes for the protection of human rights defenders. Furthermore, human rights, including the Chebeya trial remain an essential element of regular political dialogue between the DRC government and heads of missions.

Is the Commission aware that off-shore workers who must travel to their places of work do not have their travel time included as part of their work time? The directive does not state that time travelling to the workplace should be considered as working time, and there have been no decisions of the Court of Justice interpreting the directive on this point. Informazioni circa l'utilizzo dei fondi comunitari del periodo da parte dei comuni di Urbino, Ancona, Pesaro e Macerata.

Risposta congiunta di Janusz Lewandowski a nome della Commissione. Come richiesto, l'allegato presenta l'elenco delle proposte di progetti presentate alla Commissione. In questo modo la Commissione potrebbe risparmiare il tempo impiegato per rispondere a ogni singola interrogazione e fornire all'onorevole parlamentare un unico esauriente insieme di dati.

Can the Commission state whether the municipalities of Urbino, Ancona, Pesaro and Macerata have submitted projects for the following programmes:. The attached annex presents a list of requested project applications submitted to the Commission. The Commission notes that the Honourable Member is interested in the funding granted directly to Italian cities from specific EU programmes managed by the Commission. Should the Honourable Member so wish, the Commission could prepare a table providing this information for the major Italian cities likely to take part in these programmes.

This would save the Commission time needed to reply to each individual question and provide the Honourable Member with one single set of comprehensive data. As a result of the heat waves that Europe has been experiencing, lorry driving bans have been imposed on account of the damage such vehicles could cause to road surfaces. Regrettably, however, the current provisions regarding bans on vehicle movements conflict with each other and it is national agencies that decide when to impose a ban.

The obligatory halts that such bans impose upon drivers mean that they are often forced to break their journeys. Then, when the ban is lifted and lorries are once again allowed to continue their journeys, other countries along the route introduce bans and drivers are once again forced to come to a halt. This can extend the length of journeys by a number of days and have an adverse impact on drivers.

In view of this situation, is the Commission planning to harmonise the rules and introduce a common European system, or is it looking at other arrangements? The Commission is aware of the problem of differing provisions for traffic bans across Europe which impedes the provision of international transport services.

La diversité mais pas le multiculturalisme

The proposal proved to be very controversial for a large majority of Member States. The Commission does currently not foresee any measures to harmonise the rules regarding traffic bans and introduce a common European system. It is however vigilant and ensures that traffic bans do not violate basic EU principles such as the non-discrimination principle, free movement of goods and the freedom to provide services.

Mantendremos al Parlamento Europeo informado del curso de este asunto. Has the Commission considered setting up a mechanism to check rates against real data from inter-bank transfers? Given the number and value of the interest-rate derivatives and their crucial role in the management of risk, these products are highly significant to the sector and the European economy as a whole. If the Commission's concerns are confirmed, the necessary actions will be taken to sanction and bring these practices to an end; this should also prompt a change of culture in the banking sector. Concerning the regulation of benchmarks more broadly, the Commission is investigating the facts in cooperation with competent authorities, the European Central Bank and its international partners, to determine what further action is required.

Today, some benchmarks are based on real transactions and others on estimates. Issues to be examined include how to ensure the integrity and transparency of benchmark calculation methodologies, as well as governance and surveillance arrangements. The European Parliament will be kept informed of progress. Targeted support measures for young, mobile EU citizens can help them to enter the job market in the more prosperous Member States such as Germany. These might usefully include work-oriented language courses, support in job-seeking and personal and professional supervision.

This would be a practical, worthwhile measure in the context of the freedom of movement of persons, the freedom to provide services and the ability to adapt which we are striving for. Has the Commission planned further measures to facilitate the ability of young job-seekers from crisis-hit Member States to move to economically-stronger Member States? What possibilities for financial support for the abovementioned measures are available from EU programmes, including accompanying measures organised for the public good?

The objective is to help young Europeans aged to find work in other EU countries, on the basis of tailor-made job matching services combined with EU funding. National employment services provide information, job search, and recruitment, funding for both young jobseekers and businesses interested in recruiting from outside their home country.

The action also covers the costs of language training or other training need for young recruited workers before departure to another Member State. The budget appropriations made available are as follows: It is well known that the future of the creative industries in the European Union has been called into question by their apparent difficulties in developing an effective, monetisable global distribution in the context of unprecedented corporate media consolidation and hard-to-regulate digital networks.

The copyright framework seems to provide inadequate support for these actors in a new technological environment characterised by the unrestricted proliferation of copies. As has become apparent to Parliament in its recent debate and subsequent rejection of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, social patterns with regard to sharing seem fairly entrenched. With European broadband speeds and connectivity set to increase following the implementation of the Digital Agenda and CEF Programmes, it seems likely that peer-to-peer distribution, allowing users protagonist roles in the distribution of content, will continue to gain traction.

While this may be perceived by some as exacerbating the problem, it could also be seen as a potential opportunity for our European content industries as they struggle to create and address new international markets. It is therefore worrying that there remain very few examples of online distribution platforms trying to create revenue opportunities by connecting creative producers and the file-sharing public.

How does the Commission ensure its support for such new enterprises through is allocation of, for instance, the funding available for media and content production and distribution under the MEDIA programme?


  • Luna de miel de un millonario (Miniserie Bianca) (Spanish Edition)!
  • Non-Governmental Organizations accredited to provide advisory services to the Committee.
  • Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy: Second Edition Text?
  • 1980 commentaires.

Will the Commission ensure that these new online services and platforms get additional attention and financial support during the start-up periods when the new Creative Europe programme enters into effect? Most of this is allocated to theatrical distribution, but other means, notably Video on Demand platforms are included in the funding schemes. The MEDIA Programme further encourages film professionals to use new technologies and business models drawing on digitisation through various training schemes. The MEDIA Strand will have a significant focus on digitisation and will help film professionals to benefit from the digital shift.

Training as well as distribution and development will offer new funding opportunities for digital production and distribution. A cross cutting objective is the support to the development of new audiences in particular children and young people and other under-represented groups. Social networks and other digital platforms make it possible to address new audiences and to raise their interest in European audiovisual content. The Creative Europe Programme will also include a financial instrument to facilitate access to private bank loans through a guarantee fund.

This fund will be addressed to SMEs including platforms offering creative content, and will serve a range of financial needs from investing in start-ups to gap financing. Dopo aver ucciso due poliziotti impegnati a sorvegliare le chiese e aver rubato i loro fucili, gli aggressori si sono introdotti nell'edificio per lanciare bombe a mano. Altri attentatori aspettavano all'esterno per sparare sui fedeli mentre fuggivano dalla chiesa. Secondo la Croce Rossa keniana i feriti dei due attentati sarebbero almeno 75 e le vittime avrebbero affollato gli ospedali locali.

Il pastore della Chiesa Pentecostale dell'Africa orientale ha dichiarato: Seventeen people were killed and dozens more were wounded. The town of Garissa is situated miles west of the Somali border. The attackers killed two policemen guarding one of the churches, stole their guns and proceeded to throw hand grenades into the building. More gunmen waited outside to shoot people as they ran out.

A second attack took place at a Catholic church and hand grenades were thrown inside the church. The Kenya Red Cross said at least 75 people were injured in the two attacks. The number of victims overwhelmed regional hospitals. There are suspicions that the attack was the work of al-Shabab, but the authorities have not named any suspects. The pastor of the East Africa Pentecostal Church has noted: It is likely that at least some of these attacks are perpetrated by affiliates of Al-Shabab or similar extremist groups.

The EU regularly raises security concerns in its dialogue with Kenyan authorities to ensure the safety of all Kenyans and foreigners staying in the country. Negli scontri scoppiati successivamente tra cinesi di etnia han e uighuri persero la vita persone. Furono quindi effettuati arresti di massa, con migliaia di persone poste arbitrariamente in stato di fermo. Le famiglie che hanno chiesto informazioni sui propri congiunti sono state minacciate e arrestate. Le persone scomparse provengono da contesti diversi, ma non esistono dati in merito al loro numero.

Molti dei parenti degli uighuri scomparsi hanno protestato di fronte alle sedi della polizia e del governo a Urumqi. Una madre ha dichiarato: Il capo del Dipartimento di pubblica sicurezza di Urumqi avrebbe ricevuto richieste di aiuto da parte di famiglie che desiderano ritrovare i propri cari. Alcune affermano di non essere neanche interessate ad un risarcimento, ma di voler semplicemente sapere se i propri congiunti sono ancora vivi. Come valutano i funzionari dell'UE in Cina il trattamento riservato dal governo cinese alla popolazione uighura presente nel paese? La delegazione cinese ha respinto le argomentazioni dell'UE, ha attirato l'attenzione sul miglioramento della situazione economica nello Xinjiang ed ha affermato che era stata dimostrata grande clemenza nei confronti degli autori dei disordini del Protestors at the time claimed that the authorities failed to protect the workers.

Violence later erupted between Han Chinese and Uyghurs, leading to the deaths of people. Mass arrests took place, and thousands of people were arbitrarily detained. Families seeking information about their relatives have been intimidated and detained. The individuals missing come from a variety of backgrounds.

No figures exist for the number of Uyghurs that have suffered forced disappearances. Many family members of those missing have protested outside police and government buildings in Urumqi. Since she spoke out to Radio Free Asia, she has been under constant surveillance and followed everywhere. Instead of assistance, however, many families describe the years of threats, intimidation and detention that they have suffered at the hands of the authorities. Some admit that they do not even ask for compensation from the authorities, but simply want to know if their relatives are dead or alive.

The EU will continue to raise the issue of the mass disappearance of Uighurs with the Chinese authorities. Particular issues of concern include: The Chinese delegation rejected the EU's concerns, drew attention to improvements to the economic situation in Xinjiang and claimed that great leniency had been shown to the perpetrators of the unrest. The European Union is in the process of negotiating with the Government of Canada a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement CETA , with the potential to foster trade flows, create new jobs and generate investments on both sides.

After Germany, Canada is currently the best-performing G7 economy, projected to grow faster than the other EU economies in the coming years. Growth is expected to be 1. Can the Commission provide details of the proposed calendar for the technical and political rounds of negotiations between the parties scheduled for ? By taking existing EU legislation as a reference, the Commission considers that it will safeguard the respect of fundamental rights and ensure the balance between the right to intellectual property and to freedom of expression.

It is however paying due attention to this matter. The Chief negotiators will decide after summer on the work plan following the September session. A meeting in October has already been tentatively agreed. The timing of political meetings will be decided once the technical negotiations are at a more advanced stage. Conferenza mondiale per la revisione delle regole internazionali sulle telecomunicazioni ITR. The member countries of the ITU International Telecommunication Union will be holding a world conference in Dubai in December in order to review the current regulations ITRs constituting the binding global framework for telecommunications and hence the Internet.

Renegotiation of the treaty could be a golden opportunity for governments to impose total control of the Net by transferring governance to the United Nations, which would then be able to determine how electronic communications would be transmitted on the new-generation networks and what data could or could not be sent over the Web: What is the state of play regarding the negotiations and coordination with the Member States?

Gli incontri, che iniziano oggi, sono caratterizzati dalla segretezza dei contenuti. Essi si svolgono annualmente e vertono su politica, tecnologia e informazione. I temi chiave di quest'anno saranno i rapporti Israele-Iran, la Cina e la situazione economica europea. Ha la Commissione inviato un gruppo di suoi rappresentanti all'incontro in questione? Intende chiedere un riscontro al primo ministro italiano in merito agli accordi politici ed economici eventualmente intercorsi durante l'evento segreto in oggetto? La Commissione europea non ha inviato nessun rappresentante alla conferenza del The conferences take place annually and focus on politics, technology, and information.

The main themes this year will be relations between Israel and Iran, China, and the economic situation in Europe. Will it ask the Italian Prime Minister to report on such political and economic agreements as might have been entered into at this secret meeting? Il gasdotto prevede 5 lotti facenti parte di un unico grande progetto. In base alla direttiva dell'UE sulla valutazione d'impatto ambientale VIA , la valutazione deve essere estesa all'intero progetto e non ai singoli lotti.

In particolare, sembra che il progetto sia stato suddiviso in cinque sezioni che sono state tutte sottoposte a procedure di valutazione. La Commissione non ha dati concreti attestanti che la suddivisione del progetto nelle suddette sezioni abbia comportato una violazione della direttiva VIA. Gli effetti cumulativi sono pertanto stati valutati. The company Snam Rete Gas S. The pipeline consists of 5 lots that are part of one big project. The Adriatic network pipeline is a single project and was drawn up and approved as such. It was supposed to have been built along the Adriatic coast of Italy.

However, in the area of Biccari Foggia , it was instead diverted inland, along the Apennines. This diversion has raised a number of critical issues — the destruction of numerous forests and protected areas, geological hazards and the very high risk of earthquake along the Apennines. In Italy, the various tiers of government in the regions concerned by the pipeline work have all expressed a negative opinion on the current version of the project, precisely because of the critical environmental and planning issues that this infrastructure is raising.

Does the Commission, having accepted an assessment per lot rather than an overall assessment, not think it may have violated the ruling of the Court of Justice? The change mentioned by the Honourable Member was made before the Italian authorities subjected the project to the assessment procedures under the EIA and the Habitats Directives.

In particular, it appears that the project has been split into five sections, which have all been subjected to assessment procedures. The Commission has no evidence that the splitting of the project into the above sections resulted in a breach of the EIA Directive. In particular, it appears that an EIA was carried out for each section and that each EIA procedure made reference to the whole project. Thus the cumulative effects have been assessed.

In the context of the revision of the EIA Directive, the need for properly assessing effects related to disaster risks has been identified as an issue to be addressed. However, the current version of the directives already includes the risk of accidents among the criteria to be taken into account when assessing the need for an environmental assessment. In addition, when an environmental assessment is carried out, all significant effects on the environment should be identified and assessed. Come valuta la Commissione l'introduzione della norma auspicata dal governo italiano?

Non ritiene la Commissione che tale norma possa portare de facto ad una sanatoria di massa di immigrati clandestini? This would allow employers who come forward voluntarily to avoid more serious punishment. Would it not agree that it could result in the mass regularisation of illegal migrants? Would it not agree that this departure from the letter and spirit of the directive could be seen as a means of surreptitiously introducing provisions permitting and facilitating illegal migration and employment? It seems that the Italian authorities have decided to prepare for the implementation of the new rules by creating a window of opportunity, of very limited duration, for migrants and the employers to regularise their situation.

This transitional period would allow both the employers of irregularly-staying immigrants and the migrants themselves, to put an end to the illegal situation by paying a fine, recovering any unpaid remuneration and concluding a lawful work contract. The Commission has not yet analysed in detail the recently notified Italian legislation and the assessment of the compatibility with the Employer Sanctions Directive is still ongoing. Moreover, the legislation refers to modalities to be specified in a decree. Welche Schritte wurden seitens der Kommission unternommen um den entsprechenden Forderungen des Parlaments nachzukommen?

Insbesondere wird in diesem Zusammenhang um Beantwortung folgender Fragen gebeten:. In welchem Zeitrahmen plant die Kommission, die Handelsstrategie umzusetzen? Falls ja, wie sieht diese aus? Falls nein, wann soll diese erstellt werden? In particular, can it answer the following questions in this context:.

If so, when is it likely to be published? What time frame is the Commission planning for its implementation? If so, what do they predict? If not, when are such forecasts due to be made? Since the adoption of Parliament's Resolution, the Commission has continued to implement and further develop its ambitious trade policy agenda and strategy. It has launched a number of new important initiatives, all aimed at contributing to the EU's growth agenda.

In this context, the Commission has recently presented negotiating directives for negotiations with Japan. A recommendation should follow later in on prospects for launching negotiations. Regarding other important trade relationships, the paper argues that tapping into the markets of the EU's key trading partners — in particular its strategic economic partners — will play an increasingly significant role for Europe's growth in the future. It also contains a solid analytical section, explaining how trade policy is changing and how the fundamental changes in global supply chains mean that we need to look more closely at where value is added to products and less at where exports are booked.

Entwicklung eines vereinheitlichten Zolldienstes. Welche Schritte wurden seitens der Kommission seither unternommen, um den Forderungen des Parlaments nachzukommen? In diesem Zusammenhang wird insbesondere um Beantwortung folgender Fragen gebeten:. Wenn ja, wie sehen die Resultate aus? Wenn nein, warum nicht bzw. Wann plant die Kommission gegebenenfalls, mit der Umsetzung der Vereinheitlichung zu beginnen?

Asambleas Generales

Has the Commission examined whether it is feasible for a unified EU customs service to be established? If it has done so, what has been the outcome of this examination? If it has not done so, why has it not done so, or when will the outcome become available? If it is feasible, when is the Commission planning to start implementing the unification of the service? Commission services have recently commissioned a study on the functioning of the customs union. Furthermore, it should be underlined that most if not all national customs administrations have integrated tasks and competencies that go above and beyond those of the customs union most notably in the area of taxation.

Nevertheless, a wider evaluation is currently being undertaken to assess the broader state and impact of the customs union on its various stakeholders. The Commission's approach, including further integration of the customs union through the next Customs programme, will be further communicated on after completion of the evaluation. In this light, the Commission is not prepared to launch further studies regarding a unified EU customs service concept before the adoption, implementation and assessment of the effectiveness of the new instruments created by the Customs programme In diesem Zusammenhang wird um Beantwortung folgender Fragen gebeten:.

Wenn nein, warum nicht? However, in the same resolution Parliament also observed that under certain circumstances export restrictions may be seen as important for the support of development objectives, the protection of the environment or the sustainable exploitation of natural resources in poorer developing countries such as LDCs and SIDs and therefore called on the Commission to diversify its raw material suppliers and to conclude long-term bilateral agreements in this area with countries other than China.

Has the Commission taken measures to prevent and eliminate the abovementioned unfair trade practices at multilateral and bilateral level? If so, what measures? If not, why not? Have any bilateral agreements concerning raw materials been concluded since the resolution was adopted, and if so, with which countries?

For a limited number of goods subject to export duties at that time, a phase-out mechanism was agreed. Moreover, a prohibition on dual pricing was agreed, as well as disciplines on licensing and authorisation covering the mining and hydrocarbon sector. With Singapore, good progress has been made as it has accepted a horizontal provision on the elimination of export duties.

For certain wood products, reduced export duties will apply with a quota, which will be administered by a Commission Implementing Regulation setting up a system of EU management of the Russian export tariff rate quota. WTO accession negotiations, including on raw materials-related provisions, are ongoing with Kazakhstan and Tajikistan.

Intervento urgente dell'UE sulle nuove ondate migratorie. Alla luce delle tragedie in mare — verificatesi anche negli ultimi giorni — di immigrati libici che tentano di raggiungere le coste italiane, il pericolo di nuove ondate migratorie verso l'Italia annunciato tempo fa dal ministro degli Esteri libico al suo omologo italiano si sta concretizzando. A quanto ammonta tale beneficio? Quali interventi concreti e urgenti intende attuare la Commissione europea per stroncare i traffici di migranti provenienti dalle coste libiche?

In the light of the tragedies at sea — most recently within the last few days — involving Libyans attempting to reach the Italian coast, the danger of new waves of migration to Italy, of which the Libyan Foreign Minister warned his Italian opposite number some time ago, is becoming more real. Frontex is said to be ready to support Italy at the operational level in and is planning to redeploy experts and technical resources on a flexible basis should there be any sudden mass influx of irregular migrants and asylum-seekers. Is the operation now under way? How much is it receiving? What specific urgent measures will the Commission take to halt the traffic in migrants from the Libyan coast?

Since its inception a total of irregular migrants, mainly Somalis and Tunisians have been intercepted trying to reach the coasts of Sicily or the Pelagic Islands. Around half left from Libya and the others from Tunisia, Egypt and Greece. The Commission is already financing several projects in Libya, which aim, inter alia , to support the establishment of a fair and effective migration management system respectful of human rights, and to build up the Libyan capacity to control borders and prevent irregular migration and transborder organised crime.

This could have repercussions for the small, dependent economies of the outermost regions. Will impact assessments be carried out to measure the effects of these negotiations on the European market in agricultural and meat products, where such agreements also cover products produced in the outermost regions? Like in other free trade agreements, the Commission intends to take into account the specific situation of the outermost regions in the trade part of the Association Agreement that it is currently negotiating with Mercosur. The EuroLat Parliamentary Assembly also expressed its concern at the removal of President Fernando Lugo and urged Paraguay to reconsider its action, to ensure greater respect for democracy and the role of the President.

This decision was based on the opinion of the Heads of State of the Mercosur countries, who considered that the democratic process in Paraguay has been interrupted and the democratic and constitutional order endangered as a result of the coup which ousted the democratically elected president, Fernando Lugo. She also underlined that respecting the democratic will of the Paraguayan people was paramount.

The EU keeps a critical eye on the situation in Paraguay and follows the general consensus in the region to avoid any measure that could have a negative impact on the livelihood of the Paraguayan people. The EU is committed to concluding an Association Agreement with Mercosur and will continue to work towards it.

The EU and the current Brazilian Presidency of Mercosur are discussing a date for the next round of negotiations, likely to be held in autumn La pasada semana fue acribillada una mujer afgana frente a una multitud en la provincia afgana de Parwan, al norte de Kabul, acusada de adulterio. Catherine Asthon, sobre este acto indignante?

Last week a woman accused of adultery was shot to death in front of a crowd in Parwan province, to the north of Kabul. This is a brutal and inhumane act carried out by the Taliban as part of their efforts to rule through terrorism, a situation in which women are unfortunately left totally defenceless. If so, in what way? The incident referred to is, regrettably, only one of many and not all are reported. The Commission provides assistance to the Afghan Government and civil society to fight violence against women, address the issue of early and forced marriages and provide safe shelter for those in need.

EU assistance programmes continue to focus on governance, including reform of the justice sector and its institutions. Die Kommission erarbeitet derzeit einen solchen Vorschlag. Member States of the International Telecommunication Union ITU are considering whether and to what extent it should expand its jurisdiction to Internet matters by amending its underlying treaty, the International Telecommunication Regulations ITRs adopted in Concerns are growing over proposals, presented by various countries, that will have an impact on the Internet, its architecture, operations, content, security, business relations and governance, and, in some cases, on the free flow of information online.

The biggest threats, however, are the changes proposed to the definitions section that would in large measure give the ITU power to regulate the Internet.
