IOCC:An Invitation

An Invitation

Once again, the season of Great and Holy Lent is upon us, and with its arrival, we hear anew the Church’s call to repentance before our Creator. Through the preparation and discipline of this Great Fast, our Church invites us to nurture and to tend to our spiritual well-being by seeking ever-increasing communion with our good and loving God.

We give thanks to God for His mercy since in this season of repentance we are perhaps more deeply aware of our need for it. As we make the journey toward Pascha—that defining Christian feast and our hope of life everlasting—the Church “equips” us with the tools necessary for repentance.

The Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are ways of refocusing our hearts and minds on the eternal and for remembering that in this earthly life, our obedience to Christ is a way of working out our salvation. This life is an opportunity to grow in communion with the Triune God, and Great Lent is a special season in our lifelong journey: now, especially, but also in every season, we are called to serve one another, following the example of Christ Himself.

Over the next few weeks, IOCC will share reflections for this time of preparation written by IOCC Frontliners, men and women trained to offer emotional and spiritual care in the wake of disasters across the US. Their service is part of IOCC’s worldwide mission and represents a very human and personal aspect of the humanitarian work that we accomplish together. I pray that these perspectives will support your own Lenten journey during this year.

This Lent, may each of us find strength for the work Christ calls us to! May we rejoice in emptying ourselves for His sake, just as He emptied Himself for ours!

Γρ. Τάσιος: «Ενισχύουμε τις προσπάθειές μας για την όσο πιο γρήγορη έναρξη της σεζόν και την τουριστική ανάκαμψη»

 

Στις πρωτόγνωρες συνθήκες, λόγω του πολέμου στην Ουκρανία, μέσα στις οποίες οι επιχειρήσεις θα κληθούν να επανεκκινήσουν τη δραστηριότητά τους κατά την έναρξη της θερινής τουριστικής περιόδου, αναφέρθηκε ο Πρόεδρος της Πανελλήνιας Ομοσπονδίας Ξενοδόχων κ. Γρηγόρης Τάσιος, στην εισαγωγική τοποθέτησή του στο Webinar που διοργάνωσε η ΠΟΞ, με αφορμή τη Διεθνή Έκθεση Τουρισμού ΒΙT στο Μιλάνο (10 – 12 Απριλίου 2022). «Θεσμικά είμαστε υποχρεωμένοι να προετοιμαστούμε για τη σεζόν. Μετά από δύο χρονιές πανδημίας με απώλειες, θέλουμε να αξιοποιήσουμε όλα τα θετικά μηνύματα στο πεδίο της ζήτησης. Είναι σαν να ξεκινάμε από το μηδέν» είπε χαρακτηριστικά.

 

Δίνοντας το λόγο στη δημοσιογράφο κ. Ελένη Σαρικώστα – επίσημη  αντιπρόσωπο της τουριστικής έκθεσης στην ελληνική αγορά, ο κ. Τάσιος τόνισε:  «H ΠΟΞ συμμετέχει στη μεγάλη προσπάθεια των ανθρώπων του κλάδου, ενίσχυσης των ροών από μεγάλες αγορές που βρίσκονται στην πρώτη εξάδα των αφίξεων στην Ελλάδα, ώστε να καλυφθούν απώλειες που αναμένονται από τη ρωσική κυρίως, αλλά και την ουκρανική αγορά. Ευχόμαστε να επανέλθει η ειρήνη στην περιοχή. Όσο πιο γρήγορα ξεκινήσει η σεζόν, τόσο το καλύτερο για την οικονομία. Κάνουμε τα πάντα για την ανάκαμψη του τουρισμού».

 

«Τα μηνύματα από την ιταλική αγορά είναι ενθαρρυντικά όσον αφορά την Ελλάδα, τόσο σε αναζήτηση όσο και σε κρατήσεις για την ερχόμενη τουριστική περίοδο. Οι Ιταλοί «ξανάρχονται» το 2022, όπως αποδεικνύεται από την αύξηση των απευθείας αεροπορικών πτήσεων από 14 ιταλικές πόλεις που θα συνδέονται με ελληνικούς προορισμούς, από τον Μάρτιο μέχρι τον Οκτώβριο του 2022», ανέφερε η κ. Σαρικώστα, ενημερώνοντας εκπροσώπους Ξενοδοχειακών Ενώσεων και επιχειρήσεων. Σύμφωνα με την ίδια, «η ουκρανική κρίση δεν δημιούργησε αρνητική διάθεση, αντιθέτως, η χαλάρωση των υγειονομικών περιορισμών και η αποκλιμάκωση της πανδημίας σε συνδυασμό με τον ενθουσιασμό των Ιταλών, άνοιξε την όρεξη τους για τα ταξίδια και ειδικότερα σε χώρες της Μεσογείου και λιγότερο σε πιο μακρινούς εξωτικούς προορισμούς».  

 

Το ξεκίνημα της νέας τουριστικής σεζόν στην Ιταλία θα γίνει επίσημα με τη διοργάνωση της πιο ιστορικής έκθεσης τουρισμού για τη χώρα, την ΒΙΤ. Tour Operators, ταξιδιωτικά πρακτορεία, αεροπορικές εταιρείες και δημοσιογράφοι προγραμματίζουν να βρεθούν στο Μιλάνο για να συζητήσουν και να ενημερωθούν για τις νέες τάσεις: “πράσινα" ξενοδοχεία, βιωσιμότητα, εναλλακτικός τουρισμός, βιωματικές εμπειρίες, γαστρονομικός τουρισμός, Β2Β συναντήσεις κ.α. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, θα δημιουργηθεί ένα ελληνικό κεντρικό περίπτερο με τις ελληνικές συμμετοχές, το οποίο θα βρίσκεται σε κεντρικό σημείο του Pavillion World. Σύμφωνα με την κ. Σαρικώστα έχουν επιβεβαιώσει τη συμμετοχή τους τα Ιόνια νησιά (ΠΕΔΙN), η Περιφέρεια Κεντρικής Μακεδονίας, ο Τουριστικός Οργανισμός Χαλκιδικής, ενώ ενδιαφέρον έχουν εκδηλώσει και άλλες Περιφέρειες της Ελλάδας όπως και Δήμοι, αλλά και ξενοδοχειακές επιχειρήσεις.

Ukraine: Council unanimously introduces temporary protection for persons fleeing the war

 

The Council today adopted unanimously an implementing decision introducing temporary protection due to the mass influx of persons fleeing Ukraine as … Press material Friday 4 March 2022   ● Council of the EU   04/03/2022 16:16 | Press release | Ukraine: Council unanimously introduces temporary protection for persons fleeing the war   The Council today adopted unanimously an implementing decision introducing temporary protection due to the mass influx of persons fleeing Ukraine as a consequence of the war. Temporary protection is an emergency mechanism which can be applied in cases of mass influx of persons and which aims to provide an immediate and collective (i.e. without the need for the examination of individual applications) protection to displaced persons who are not in a position to return to their country of origin. The objective is to alleviate pressure on national asylum systems and to allow displaced persons to enjoy harmonised rights across the EU. These rights include residence, access to the labour market and housing, medical assistance, and access to education for children. Once adopted, the decision will activate temporary protection for an initial period of one year. That period may be extended automatically by six monthly periods for a maximum of one year. The Commission may propose to the Council to extend the temporary protection up to one more year. It may also propose to end the temporary protection if the situation in Ukraine is such as to permit safe and durable return. Ukrainian nationals, as well as third country nationals or stateless persons benefiting from international protection in Ukraine and their family members will benefit from temporary protection if they resided in Ukraine before or on 24 February 2022. For third country nationals residing in Ukraine before or on 24 February with a permanent residence permit and who cannot safely return to their country member states shall apply either temporary protection or adequate protection under their national law. Member states may also apply this decision to other persons, including any third country nationals residing legally in Ukraine and who are unable to safely return to their country of origin, as well as Ukrainians who fled not long before 24 February or who found themselves in EU territory just before that date, for example for holiday or work purposes. As part of this decision, the Commission will coordinate cooperation and exchange of information among member states, in particular in relation to monitoring reception capacities and identifying any need for additional support. EU agencies, including Frontex, the EU asylum agency and Europol can provide further operational support at the request of member states. Background On 24 February 2022, Russian armed forces launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. As a result, substantial areas of Ukrainian territory now constitute areas of armed conflict from which thousands of persons are fleeing. On that same day, the European Council condemned Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine in the strongest possible terms and demanded Russia’s full respect for Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence. The EU has shown, and will continue to show, its resolute support for Ukraine and its citizens. At their extraordinary meeting on 27 February, home affairs ministers discussed the possibility of establishing an appropriate temporary protection mechanism for the reception of persons seeking refuge in the EU. On 2 March, the Commission proposed activating the mechanism provided for by the 2001 directive on temporary protection.
