In its efforts to strengthen private media in Montenegro and contribute to their further professionalization and adaption to the digitalization challenges, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro delivered a set of seven desktop computers to the media outlet Nova M TV on 21 October 2021 in Podgorica.

The donation will enable Nova M to improve the professionalism of its daily reporting, and stay competitive in the market.

Zuzana Paukova, the Mission’s Media Programme Manager, said that in time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the media has challenging tasks, coupled with insufficient resources to carry them out. “In order to help them continue to be a source of relevant information, the Mission provided Nova M with needed equipment to maintain quality reporting,” said Paukova.

Ivana Šebek, Executive Director of Nova M TV said that this valuable donation of technical equipment came at the right time, when the TV studio has been redesigned and the innovated visual identity of the television presented. “Our motto is to inform objectively, accurately and promptly. This is why the workshops and educational seminars organized by the OSCE Mission to Montenegro are of great importance for our journalists. The role of the OSCE in further improving the position of journalists in Montenegro is immense,” said Šebek.

The Mission remains committed to supporting media professionalization in Montenegro.

Campaigners and breeders believe the rose is the first named after a black individual in the UK

Frappé de plein fouet par la pandémie et le confinement, le champ de la création artistique portugaise a éprouvé une nouvelle fois sa fragilité structurelle. Tout particulièrement dans le secteur du théâtre où il n'y a pas de régime d'intermittence et où les acteurs sont la plupart du temps contraints de tourner dans des séries télé, voire d'exercer un autre métier, pour survivre. Pour mesurer la situation d'un pays européen qui a un régime si peu protecteur, il faut la replacer dans le contexte qui a suivi (...)

Les Fennecs qui disputent la phase de groupes de la Ligue européenne des Champions, n’ont pas pu réaliser leurs souhaits de briller et décrocher des records et des titres.

C’est le cas de Rachid Ghezzal et Ismail Bennacer, qui ont subi la troisième défaite consécutive, récoltant zéro point, et faisant leurs adieux aux compétitions.

Pour l’instant, y en a que le capitaine Riyad Mahrez, le joueur du club anglais Manchester City qui a réussi à briller en atteignant des records.

En fait, ledit joueur occupe actuellement la cinquième place des meilleurs buteurs de la Ligue des champions européenne, accompagné du joueur français Antoine Griezmann de l’Atletico Madrid, du Belge Vanacan de Bruges, ainsi que de Messi, la star du Paris Saint-Germain.

Mahrez est considéré comme le meilleur buteur de Manchester City

Ces derniers ont tous marqué trois buts, tandis que l’attaquant Erling Haaland de Borussia Dortmund est en tête par un score de six buts, suivi de Mohamed Salah qui en a inscrit cinq buts, dont un seul but par penalty.

En outre, deux autres joueurs, à savoir le Français Christopher Nkunku et le Polonais Robert Lewandowski sont à la troisième place, avec quatre buts, et ce, sans calculer les résultats des matchs de mercredi.

Riyad Mahrez est actuellement considéré comme le meilleur buteur de Manchester City dans cette forte compétition, suivi du Portugais Joao Cancelo, qui a inscrit deux buts.

Par ailleurs, le club anglais Manchester City est en compétition pour la première place de son groupe, qui sera décidée après le match dudit club face à Paris Saint-Germain.

Il n’y a pas très longtemps, l’Algérie a été secouée par un drame sans précédent, les feux de forets. Une série d’incendies violents et mortifères a ravagé plusieurs wilayas du pays notamment la Kabylie. Ces incendies ont engendré des morts, des brûlés et des pertes colossales.

Ces incendies qui seront à jamais gravés dans nos mémoires vu l’ampleur des dégâts qu’ils ont engendrés nous ont également ouvert les yeux sur une réalité amère, l’Algérie n’a pas les moyens nécessaires pour faire face à ce genre de catastrophe. Compte tenu que ce phénomène se reproduit chaque année.

Les autorités algériennes ont donc pris conscience de ce constat et tentent d’y remédier et de s’équiper afin de mieux lutter contre ces incidents ravageurs, c’était la volonté qu’a démontré le ministre de l’Intérieur, des Collectivités locales et de l’Aménagement du territoire, Kamel Beldjoud.

L’industrie des drones pour lutter contre les feux

En effet, le ministre a indiqué que l’Algérie envisage l’industrialisation des drones pour lutter contre les feux de forets. Ces drones ont pour objectif de surveiller et de détecter les feux de forets.

La direction générale des forets (DGF) a initié un projet de réalisation d’un prototype de drone, et ce, en collaboration avec le centre de recherche des technologies industrielles (CRTI) financé par la direction générale de la recherche scientifique et du développement technologique (DGRSDT). La phase de construction a été entamée, ce dernier sera mis à l’essai au cours du 1er semestre de 2022.

Dans le même sillage, et afin de traduire les instructions du président de la République Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Beldjoud affirme que le gouvernement a entamé l’organisation des accords pour l’acquisition des canadairs.

As part of the longstanding support to the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Interior, on 20 and 21 October 2021, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro organized the first in a series of working group meetings for drafting a “Rulebook on safe storage of ammunition in storage sites.”

With the Mission’s support, a multisector working group, comprised of legal and weapons/ammunition experts from the two Ministries was established. The Mission also engaged an international expert to support the working group in drafting a rulebook that will cover Army and Police storage sites.

Mladen Marković, Head of the Montenegrin Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) Commission, said that the objective of the working group is to strengthen policy on the management of stockpiles, as one of the key goals in the implementation of the 2019–2025 National Strategy on combatting illegal possession, misuse and trafficking in SALW and conventional ammunition.

This activity was part of the Mission’s project on “Strengthening action against illegal possession, misuse and trafficking of small arms and light weapons, ammunition, and explosives in Montenegro.” Two additional meetings on drafting the rulebook are planned in November.

The Mission will continue to support the country in ensuring the safety and security of state-owned stockpiles of small arms and light weapons and conventional ammunition, as well as combatting their illicit use and proliferation.

The move towards more harmonised European Union (EU) energy policies has always been at the heart of the European project, as large savings from collective action could be expected in this area. As a result, a more integrated EU internal energy market has gradually emerged as a reality, although much more needs to be done to arrive at a more efficient organisation and to ensure further beneficial convergence. Facing and understanding the ongoing climate crisis, the EU has also been at the forefront of combining energy and climate policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions following its international commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. After over a decade of pursuing ambitious climate and energy policies, the EU has already achieved some progress such as producing 20 % of energy from renewable energy sources, improving its energy efficiency and effectively reducing GHG emissions from sectors under the EU emission trading system. In 2021, the EU stepped up its ambition with proposals for a new set of actions across all sectors to set the right trajectory for the EU economy to efficiently achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Most importantly, this objective is underpinned by a landmark, legally binding European Climate Law that makes the EU one of few main global emitters to have made such a strong binding commitment to achieving climate neutrality by mid-century.

There are many challenges ahead on the road to a zero net-emitting EU energy system by 2050 (see Chapter 2). How successful the EU is in decarbonising its energy industries, that are still responsible for 80 % of EU GHG emissions, will be key for the overall success of the European green transformation and the climate neutrality of the EU economy in a broader sense. Action taken on decarbonising the EU energy system in the coming years will determine not only the potential net monetary impacts and successes of achieving the final environmental target of net zero emissions in 2050 but also whether the transformation is just and fair to all and contributing to achieving a sustainable and prosperous society boasting a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy.

More specifically, the present report, drafted at the request of the European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE), looks at the EU objective of achieving the decarbonisation of its energy system by 2050 from a perspective of what would happen without ambitious and united EU action in this area. It aims to establish what the cost of non-Europe would be if the EU does not step up its efforts towards achieving energy transformation. It estimates the potential environmental, social and macro-economic consequences in a decade (2030), and three decades (2050), from now. At the same time, the report presents quantifications of the potential beneficial role that the EU could play if common budgetary, coordination and regulatory actions are stepped up until 2050. The report also reviews progress made over recent years as well as analysing future opportunities for boosting the energy industries’ effective actions in the context of the EU economic recovery, and the investments necessary to achieve net-zero emissions for the energy system in 2050.

The underpinning study in Annex II as well as the complementary quantitative estimations and analysis done in this report (see Chapter 3) indicate that many of the key challenges associated with the transformation of the EU energy systemcould be difficult to overcome efficiently and effectively if no further common and determined EU action is taken. Ensuring rapid development and deployment of the green technologies needed for decarbonising energy use in sectors that are difficult to decarbonise, while also reinforcing EU global competitiveness and leadership in some of these technologies, would also be achieved more rapidly and efficiently if done in a concerted way. Moreover, some society- and policy-related challenges, such as ensuring an appropriate non-distortive EU carbon price signal is sent to the internal market, are more effectively addressed at the EU level. At the same time, the distributional effects of this pricing could be addressed at the EU level so that the transformation ensures continued convergence and strengthens EU social and economic cohesion, while being fair and inclusive. Finally, given the constraints placed on public finances as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the appropriate levels of financing dedicated to energy transformation could also be allocated at EU level, thus reinforcing the Member States’ national budgetary spending.
