Combating child trafficking in focus of OSCE-supported roundtable discussion in Kyrgyzstan

OSCE - Tue, 31/05/2016 - 16:07

BISHKEK, 31 May 2016 – To mark International Children’s Day on 1 June, the Kyrgyz Interior Ministry in co-ordination with the OSCE Centre in Bishkek organized a roundtable discussion on child trafficking, bringing together 25 representatives of state agencies, parliament, international organizations, civil society and the media.    

The event aimed at improving co-ordination and co-operation among all organizations dealing with child trafficking issues and working out recommendations for preventing trafficking in children.

“Without a comprehensive approach covering the legal, education and law enforcement systems, as well as guardianship authorities - government actions to prevent trafficking in children will have a limited impact,” said Silvia Pogolsa, Human Dimension Officer at the OSCE Centre in Bishkek.

The participants also discussed the current situation on crimes against children, existing state policies, necessary improvements in the legal framework, and the level of implementation of existing laws. Two human rights non-governmental organizations shared their experience and challenges in preventing child trafficking in Kyrgyzstan.

“A society with happy children and elderly can be considered as a healthy one”, said Jyldyz Akhmedgalieva, representative of the Kyrgyz Interior Ministry. “Crimes against those who are defenceless are always painful, even if these are isolated cases. We stand for the strengthening of accountability for crimes against children.”

The participants decided to have a follow-up meeting based on the results of this event, which was part of the OSCE Centre’s project on supporting a comprehensive model of prevention in addressing human trafficking in Kyrgyzstan through grassroots initiatives and multi-agency co-operation.

Military Single European Sky community meets at EDA

EDA News - Tue, 31/05/2016 - 16:04

On 31 May, high-level representatives and experts from the Member States, EUMC and EUMS Staff, NATO Allies and Officials of the European Commission (DG MOVE), SJU, SDM, EASA, NATO and EUROCONTROL met at the European Defence Agency for the 8th edition of the SES/SESAR Military Implementation Forum. The meeting was followed by the first EDA Single European Sky Military Aviation Board (ESMAB) policy level meeting.

The aim of this year’s Forum was to share with a wider audience, in an informal setting, the main strategic issues with regard to Single European Sky. The meeting was chaired by General Fernando de la Cruz Caravaca of the Spanish Air Force. Mr. Umberto Rossi of the European Commission replacing Mr. Henrik Hololei, Director General Mobility and Transport, opened the discussion on the challenges and opportunities for civil-military cooperation deriving from the EU Aviation Strategy and civil rulemaking activities in the framework of Single European Sky.

The Chairman of the EU Military Committee General Mikhail Kostarakos then provided the vision of the EU Chiefs of Defence on SES/SESAR in the wider context of military aviation.

Finally, Vice Admiral Ignacio Horcada focused on NATO C2 needs in the wider context of Single European Sky. The discussion provided for relevant exchanges on innovative technologies to be considered in SESAR, taking into account global trends in civil and military aviation.

“The SMIF is a key opportunity for European air forces to come to a common understanding of key priority areas of the Single European Sky. Today also underlined the importance of a broad consultation and coordination between the European and Allied defence community as well as civil aviation. The SMIF reconfirms EDA’s commitment to the three-step consultation process with EUROCONTROL and NATO, to serve the need of Member States”, said Jorge Domecq.

The first EDA Single European Sky Military Aviation Board (ESMAB) policy level meeting then brought together representatives from the participating Member States, as well as Denmark, Norway and Switzerland, and a representative from EUMC. Experts collectively agreed on priorities with regard to the upcoming milestones for Single European Sky in the broader context of military aviation and to ensure the necessary national involvement up to the appropriate decision-making level. Concretely, experts discussed and validated among other things the SES Military Aviation Action Plan and the roadmap on Performance Based Navigation.

Les Européens et la presse : papier ou numérique ?

Toute l'Europe - Tue, 31/05/2016 - 16:00

En parallèle, les supports se multiplient pour les lecteurs alors que les médias n’ont pas encore véritablement réussi à adapter leurs sources de revenus. Dès lors, comment le numérique a-t-il transformé les usages et les comportements des Européens vis-à-vis de la presse ?
