Akzeptanz der einschränkenden Corona-Maßnahmen bleibt trotz Lockerungen hoch

Zusammenfassung:

Neue erweiterte Fassung – die um 9.30 Uhr versandte war unvollständig!

Die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Einschränkungen durch die Corona-Maßnahmen hat die große Mehrheit der Deutschen mit Disziplin mitgetragen. Sogar am Osterwochenende hielt sich die Bevölkerung an die weitreichenden Kontaktbeschränkungen. Doch nun wecken selektive Lockerungsmaßnahmen, also die Wiedereröffnung von vielen Geschäften und öffentlichen Einrichtungen wie Schulen, die Hoffnung auf die Rückkehr in die Normalität. Damit wächst auch die Gefahr, dass die Selbst­disziplin nachlässt. Eine seit mehr als einem Monat laufende tägliche Befragung von infratest dimap lässt erst geringe Ermüdungserscheinungen in der Bevölkerung erkennen und zeigt auch, dass rund 40 Prozent der Menschen im Land sich durch die bisherigen Maßnahmen stark eingeschränkt sehen. Die Erhebung zeigt zudem, wie die Befragten weiteren Maßnahmen wie Tracing-App und Schutzmaskenpflicht gegenüberstehen.

Parliamentary security committee leaders recall 2017 death of OSCE monitor in Ukraine, lament restrictions on monitors’ movement

OSCE - Thu, 04/23/2020 - 08:50

COPENHAGEN, 23 April 2020 – On the somber occasion of the third anniversary of the death of a member of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, senior OSCE Parliamentary Assembly officials called for an end to harassment and restrictions placed on international monitors in Ukraine, respect for principles of the Helsinki Final Act, and the restoration of Ukrainian territorial integrity.

Congressman Richard Hudson (United States), Costel Neculai Dunava (MP, Romania), and Laurynas Kasciunas (MP, Lithuania), the Chair, Vice-Chair and Rapporteur of the OSCE PA's General Committee on Political Affairs and Security, released the following statement:

“Joseph Stone, an American paramedic supporting the OSCE monitors in eastern Ukraine, was killed by a landmine in the conflict zone three years ago today. This solemn occasion must remind us of the dangers this needless Russian war of aggression imposes not only on international monitors but on innocent Ukrainian civilians on a daily basis. It is long past time for the monitors to be allowed to do their work unimpeded, for the human costs of the conflict to be addressed, and ultimately for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty to be fully restored.”

The PA leaders underscored that restrictions on the monitors’ movement, including under the pretext of COVID-19 quarantine restrictions, were unacceptable and only served to deepen the misery of local populations by depriving them of critical assistance. They also lamented the continued toll of landmines and unexploded ordnance in eastern Ukraine.

Speciális eljárással segíti a NAV a koronavírus elleni védekezést

Biztonságpiac - Thu, 04/23/2020 - 08:33
Megkülönböztetett figyelemmel és gyorsasággal kezeli az állami szervek részére érkező védőfelszerelések, orvosi eszközök vámeljárásait a Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal (NAV) azért, hogy az eszközök mielőbb eljussanak rendeltetési helyükre — áll a hatóság közleményében.

A védekezéshez használható termékek vámkezelése során speciális, gyorsan elvégezhető eljárást dolgozott ki a NAV azért, hogy a felszerelések és eszközök mihamarabb a védekezés frontvonalába, a kórházakhoz, egészségügyi intézményekhez kerülhessenek. A termékek jelentős hányada a Liszt Ferenc Nemzetközi Repülőtér légi forgalmában érkezik Magyarországra. A NAV Repülőtéri Igazgatósága elvégzi a többségében vámmentes eljárásokat, majd a vámkezelt szállítmányok a Budapesti Intermodális Logisztikai Központ raktárépületbe kerülnek. Tovább szállításukról az Állami Egészségügyi Ellátó Központ szakemberei döntenek.

A NAV a piacfelügyeleti hatóságok segítségével gondoskodik arról, hogy egészségre veszélyes termékek és eszközök véletlenül se kerülhessenek az egészségügyi ellátó rendszerbe. Az eddig érkezett termékek között nem volt a szabványtól eltérő vagy silány minőségű eszköz, a piacfelügyeleti hatóságok minősítése szerint a termékek minden esetben megfeleltek a jogszabályoknak. Valamennyi, speciálisan rövid idő alatt vámkezelt szállítmány az állami koordinációnak megfelelően elhagyhatta a központi elosztóraktárt.
