ΘΕΜΑ: ΑΠΕΧΟΥΜΕ ΔΙΑΜΑΡΤΥΡΟΜΕΝΟΙ

      Γνωρίζετε, για παράδειγμα, ότι εδώ και έξι ολόκληρα χρόνια, δεν έχει χρηματοδοτηθεί ούτε μία δράση από το ΕΣΠΑ για φορείς Κοινωνικής και Αλληλέγγυας Οικονομίας;

      Γνωρίζετε, ακόμη, για ποιους λόγους, εδώ και τέσσερα ολόκληρα χρόνια, δεν έχει δοθεί ούτε ένα ευρώ για την ενίσχυση του χώρου των Κοινωνικών Συνεταιριστικών Επιχειρήσεων (ΚΟΙΝ.Σ.ΕΠ.); Και το ρωτάμε αυτό, διότι, κατά το χρονικό διάστημα που κυβερνά η συμπολίτευση ΣΥ.ΡΙΖ.Α. - ΑΝ.ΕΛ., έχουν καταγραφεί δεκάδες σχετικές «βαρύγδουπες» δηλώσεις, έχουν εκδοθεί πολλά «υποσχετικά» δελτία τύπου και έχουν διενεργηθεί αρκετές βαρυσήμαντες.ανακοινώσεις περί των ζητημάτων αυτών!

      Γνωρίζετε ότι έχει στηθεί. ένας χορός πολλών εκατομμυρίων ευρώ (!) γύρω από αναθέσεις, συντονισμούς και υλοποιήσεις παρεμβάσεων, με τη μόνη και σημαντική διαφορά ότι, από τις αναθέσεις αυτές, καμία δεν έχει γίνει προς κάποια οργάνωση της κοινωνίας πολιτών;

      Ή μήπως έχει γίνει, αλλά σε μία, άντε δύο το πολύ οργανώσεις, που ανήκουν σε. συγγενή σας ιδεολογικό χώρο; 

      Το Υπουργείο Εργασίας, Κοινωνικής Ασφάλισης και Κοινωνικής Αλληλεγγύης ανέθεσε τη διοργάνωση της ετήσιας έκθεσης ΚΑΛΟ ATHENS EXPO '18, που θα γίνει στις 7-11/10/2018, σε μία ΜΚΟ  με την επωνυμία IMPACT HUBE;     

       Για ποιους λόγους δεν ακολουθήθηκε το «γράμμα του νόμου», ώστε να αναλάβουν τη διαχείριση της εκδήλωσης οι ενώσεις, οι ομοσπονδίες και οι δευτεροβάθμιες οργανώσεις του χώρου της Κοινωνίας των Πολιτών, ύστερα από την προκήρυξη διαγωνισμού και όχι όπως έγινε με ανάθεση στην IMPACT HUBE.

       Ποιος εξουσιοδότησε τη συγκεκριμένη Μ.Κ.Ο., ποιος «της παραχώρησε τα κλειδιά» της διοργάνωσης της έκθεσης και, τέλος πάντων, ποιος και με ποια αρμοδιότητα την αναβίβασε εν μία νυκτί σε προνομιούχο αποδέκτη απευθείας αναθέσεων και, ακόμη χειρότερα, σε. διοργανώτρια αρχή μια τόσο σημαντικής εκδήλωσης, όπως είναι το συγκεκριμένο ετήσιο συνέδριο;

       Με τι.προσόντα και.παραστάσεις ανέλαβε η συγκεκριμένη ΜΚΟ, που είναι ιδρυμένη μόλις το 2015-16, μια τόσο υπεύθυνη και βαριά αποστολή; Με ποια εφόδια κλήθηκε να συντονίσει.250(!) πρωτοβάθμια σωματεία, που είναι εγγεγραμμένα στο Μητρώο Κοινωνικής Αλληλεγγύης; Και, ακόμη, γιατί παρακάμφθηκαν άλλες ΜΚΟ, που έχουν πολυετή παρουσία στον χώρο και σαφώς πιο πλούσια και εμπερίστατη δράση;

      Η συγκεκριμένη ΜΚΟ  είχε συντάξει και το mail - πρόσκληση προς τους υπόλοιπους φορείς, χρησιμοποιώντας παραπλανητικά τον τίτλο και την έδρα της Ειδικής Γραμματείας ΚΑΛΟ του Υπουργείου Εργασίας.

      Συγκάλεσαν τη συνάντηση όλων των ΜΚΟ στο χώρο της Ειδικής Γραμματείας του Υπουργείου, σε ώρα απογευματινή, κατά την οποία η συγκεκριμένη γραμματεία είναι πάντοτε.κλειστή; Παρεμπιπτόντως, γνωρίζετε ότι με το «τρικ» αυτό ξεγέλασαν δεκάδες εκπροσώπους των ΚΟΙΝ.Σ.ΕΠ. και των συλλόγων ΚΑΛΟ που έδωσαν το παρόν, εφόσον, όπως ήταν φυσικό, οι δεύτεροι υπέθεσαν ότι οι συντονιστές ήταν.τεχνοκράτες του Υπουργείου Εργασίας; Πώς μπορούσαν να φανταστούν ότι απέναντί τους είχαν στελέχη μιας εταιρείας, που από το 2015-16 που πρωτοεμφανίστηκε, έχει «εκτοξεύσει» απότομα τις μετοχές της, επιδιώκοντας προφανώς να αναλάβει το μονοπώλιο του χώρου της Κοινωνικής και Αλληλέγγυας Οικονομίας;

      Για αυτούς και για μια σειρά ακόμη από λόγους, που δεν μπορούν να εκταθούν σε ένα κείμενο καταγγελτικό, εμείς, ως ΠΑ.Κ.Ο.Ε., προτείνουμε προς όλους όσοι εκπροσωπείτε τη συντεταγμένη Πολιτεία και τους θεσμούς της -σε σύμπραξη, εννοείται, με όλες τις οργανώσεις της κοινωνίας πολιτών και τους συλλόγους ΚΑΛΟ- να απέχετε διαμαρτυρόμενοι από την επικείμενη ετήσια έκθεση της ΚΑΛΟ ATHENS EXPO, διότι δεν είναι δυνατόν η ελληνική κυβέρνηση και το ελληνικό κοινοβούλιο εν γένει να εθελοτυφλεί μπροστά σε τέτοιου είδους σκανδαλώδεις μεροληψίες, πόσο μάλλον καταστρατηγώντας όλες τις σύννομες διαδικασίες ή παρακάμπτοντας ετσιθελικά την δευτεροβάθμια εκπροσώπηση του κλάδου μας στη συγκεκριμένη Έκθεση.    

      «Αναιρουμένου του όλου ουκ έσται πους ουδέ χείρες» είχε γράψει κάποτε ο Αριστοτέλης. Λοιπόν; Τι θέλουμε; Να επικυρώσουμε τις ανομίες και τα ανοσιουργήματα κάποιων επιτήδειων, επειδή, ως κράτος και ως φορείς πάσχουμε από την εθνική νόσο της συλλογικής ασυνεννοησίας και απάθειας;

      Μήπως οι καιροί και. οι περιστάσεις ενδείκνυνται, για να αποδείξετε οι κρατούντες με έργα ό,τι τόσα χρόνια ευαγγελιζόσαστε μόνο με λόγια;

      Ο λόγος και το βάρος της απόφασης πέφτει αποκλειστικά σε εσάς, όπως και σε εμάς όλους, φυσικά, μηδενός εξαιρουμένου! Ας το σκεφτούμε όλοι καλά, πριν μια επιπόλαια απόφασή μας καταστρέψει ό,τι με κόπο χτίστηκε ως τώρα ή  δρομολογούνταν να γίνει για το άμεσο μέλλον.

      Η συμμετοχή μας στην έκθεση αυτή θα δηλώνει και την συνενοχή μας.

      Και όσο αφορά τις υπόγειες και παράνομες πράξεις, που διαδραματίζονται στο Υπουργείο Εργασίας σχετικά με την «Φιλοσοφία» της Κ.Α.Λ.Ο, το ΠΑ.Κ.Ο.Ε. την επόμενη εβδομάδα θα προσφύγει στην δικαιοσύνη.

  

Με αγωνιστικούς χαιρετισμούς

Communiqué from the 32nd meeting of the Foreign Investment Advisory Council in Russia (Moscow, 15 October 2018)
25 October 2018 10:00


The 32nd meeting of the Foreign Investment Advisory Council in Russia was held on 15 October 2018 and was chaired by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who is also the Chairman of the Foreign Investment Advisory Council in Russia. The participants included the heads of major international companies and banks. The Foreign Investment Advisory Council in Russia provides continuous assistance to the Government in developing measures designed to create an efficient environment for doing business, drawing investment and promoting exports.

The members of the Foreign Investment Advisory Council in Russia (hereinafter the Advisory Council) took part in formulating proposals aimed at improving the legislative framework and enforcing the rules governing the business environment. Much effort went into compliance with environmental standards during manufacturing and disposal of used products.

In 2019, the Advisory Council will focus on the following priority areas.

Digitalisation of the economy and advanced technology.

Drafting proposals for implementing advanced technological solutions, as well as the best available technology in renewable energy, energy efficiency, road construction, and dynamic labour procurement.

Drafting proposals for improving regulations on Big Data and Master Data generated as part of state information systems and tracking and labeling information systems.

Participating in the development of measures to create an attractive environment for developing engineering and currently-in-demand competencies, to improve the quality of training to create innovation centres and production sites.

Developing measures to simplify the introduction of innovative products, components, ingredients and technologies, including the introduction of industry standards and the revision of regulations in the sphere of sustainable development and the circular economy.

Localisation and regional development.

Systematic development of Russia’s localisation potential to improve the availability of raw materials and equipment that are unmatched in Russia.

Drafting proposals to eliminate excessive requirements for the domestic manufacturing of industrial output in Russia in order to deepen it and enhance the country's appeal for foreign direct investment and maximisation of added value.

Improving tax and customs legislation and administration.

Developing measures to improve the institution of an authorised economic operator and to comply with the best international practices.

Developing a position and, if necessary, drafting proposals to improve the procedure for determining and controlling the customs value of goods imported into the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union, related to the transport costs and license fees included in the customs value.

Developing approaches to legal consolidation of non-tax payments.

Consumer market development and technical regulation.

Drafting proposals for harmonising fundamental approaches to the development and functioning of various state electronic systems in the sphere of consumer goods tracking and accounting.

Drafting recommendations and proposals for the comprehensive promotion of the healthy lifestyle and balanced nutrition principles among the public.

Developing recommendations regarding the technical regulations of the Customs Union in part related to trade regulation.

Expert assistance in assessing the actual impact of amendments to the Federal Law On the Fundamentals of State Regulation of Trade Activity in the Russian Federation adopted in 2016.

Promoting healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry.

Developing proposals for improving the legislative framework in distributing medicines and medical devices, increasing the effectiveness of measures to improve access to innovative techniques, as well as creating a comprehensive drug supply system.

Natural resources and environment.

Drafting proposals to simplify the legal requirements for the submission of application documents to obtain public services by foreign companies.

Drafting proposals to improve legislation in state environmental assessment and environmental impact assessment.

Drafting proposals to improve legislation on wastewater, as well as to improve regulations on the handling of production and consumption waste, including licensing issues.

Developing the banking sector and financial markets.

Drafting proposals to finalise the criteria for lending institution access to the federal and regional budgets providing for the use of the rankings assigned by the Russian rating agencies as the key measure of a lending institution’s stability.

The implementation of the above priority tasks will allow the Advisory Council to make a weighty contribution to improving the investment climate in Russia. Advisory Council members operate on the premise that these goals can be accomplished provided the systematic work to strengthen the Russian economy is in place.

The next 33rd meeting of the Advisory Council will be held on 21 October 2019.

Executive Order On Special Economic Measures in connection with Ukraine’s Unfriendly Actions toward Citizens and Legal Entities of the Russian Federation

Vladimir Putin signed Executive Order On Special Economic Measures in Connection with Ukraine’s Unfriendly Actions toward Citizens and Legal Entities of the Russian Federation.

THE WHITE HOUSE's news

The White House • October 25, 2018 ‘It’s time to end the global freeloading once and for all’ For far too long, the United States has been footing the bill for lower drug prices—in foreign countries. American patients and taxpayers unfairly subsidize worldwide drug innovation while patients overseas get much lower prices from drug makers. Medicare in particular has shouldered an outrageously high burden. Today, President Donald J. Trump is launching actions to confront global freeloading and lower medicine prices for American patients. The heart of the effort is simple: putting forward a new way for Medicare to pay for certain drugs that is based on prices that other developed countries pay. That action alone is projected to reduce Medicare’s payments for these drugs by an incredible 30 percent over the next five years. And a related plan will fix the perverse incentives for doctors to administer more expensive drugs to patients. Driving down drug costs has been a top priority for this President since day one, and Americans are already seeing results:

CANADA's latest news

Prime Minister welcomes increased partnership with the Netherlands

October 25, 2018
Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today met with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, to explore how we can work together to address pressing global challenges and build on our countries’ close friendship.

During the visit, Prime Minister Trudeau and Prime Minister Rutte underscored the strong, long-standing relationship between our two countries – including Canada’s role in the liberation of the Netherlands at the end of the Second World War – and our common commitment to democracy, equality, and the rules-based international order.

At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the two prime ministers honoured members of our armed forces, past and present, and those who have fallen in the service of our shared values. They also saluted the Canadian and Dutch forces who are serving side-by-side in Iraq and Mali, as well as in Latvia and Lithuania as part of NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence battlegroups.

Later, Prime Minister Rutte addressed the Canadian Parliament, becoming the first Dutch prime minister to do so. Following the address, Prime Minister Rutte announced the Netherlands’ endorsement of the Canada-led Ocean Plastics Charter, building on our countries’ close collaboration to fight climate change and protect the environment. A historic initiative to eradicate plastic pollution, the Charter was adopted during the G7 Summit in June under Canada’s leadership.

Prime Minister Trudeau and Prime Minister Rutte also met with Canadian and Dutch business leaders to discuss opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and increased trade and investment. They explored how to further leverage the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which is already creating good, well-paying, middle class jobs for people in Canada and the Netherlands alike. Since CETA’s entry into force, Canadian exports to the Netherlands have increased by 33 per cent, while imports have increased by almost 24 per cent.

Prime Minister Trudeau and Prime Minister Rutte also held a town hall with students at a high school in Ottawa. They underlined the need to support young leaders and encourage their involvement in public policy in order to build a more inclusive, peaceful, and prosperous world.

Today, Prime Minister Rutte is also attending a Canada-Netherlands dialogue and expert roundtable on climate adaptation. The roundtable is a chance to welcome the announcement that Canada will provide $7.5 million dollars in financial support for the Global Commission on Adaptation, an initiative spearheaded by the Netherlands, and that Canada will work with the Netherlands-hosted Global Center on Adaptation to help address critical climate adaptation gaps.

Quote

“The Netherlands is one of Canada’s closest allies and friends. We share a strong commitment to gender equality, free trade, and international peace and security, and we are working closely together to fight climate change and build economies that benefit everyone. Today was an important opportunity to meet with Prime Minister Rutte to discuss how we can use the values that have united our countries for decades – democracy, the rule of law, and equality – to build a better future for people on both sides of the Atlantic.”
—The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Conseil de l'Union européenne     25/10/2018  Burundi: l'UE renouvelle les sanctions jusqu'au 31 octobre 2019 Le 25 Octobre 2018, le Conseil a renouvelé jusqu'au 31 octobre 2019 les mesures restrictives prises à l'encontre du Burundi. Ces mesures consistent en une interdiction de pénétrer sur le territoire de l'Union européenne et en un gel des avoirs qui concernent quatre personnes dont les activités ont été considérées comme compromettant la démocratie ou faisant obstacle à la recherche d'une solution politique à la crise burundaise. Il s'agit notamment d'actes de violence, de répression ou d'incitation à la violence, ainsi que d'actes constituant des atteintes graves aux droits de l'homme. Le Conseil a estimé que l'absence de progrès en ce qui concerne les quatre personnes faisant l'objet de mesures restrictives justifiait la prorogation des sanctions. L’UE reste vivement préoccupée par la situation des droits humains au Burundi qui nuit à toute initiative de réconciliation, de paix et de justice. Elle relève en particulier, la persistance d’exécutions extrajudiciaires et d'arrestations arbitraires. Depuis le début de la crise au Burundi, l'UE a affirmé que seul un dialogue débouchant sur un consensus, dans le respect de l'Accord d'Arusha pour la paix et la réconciliation de 2000 et de la Constitution du Burundi, permettra de trouver une solution politique durable dans l'intérêt de la sécurité et la démocratie pour tous les Burundais. Les noms des personnes concernées et les motifs de leur inscription sur la liste figurent à l'annexe de la décision du 1er octobre 2015, qui a été publiée au Journal officiel. Les actes légaux de ce jour ont été adoptés par procédure écrite. Burundi: l'UE adopte des sanctions à l'encontre de 4 personnes Conclusions du Conseil sur le Burundi du 22 juin 2015 L'adoption de mesures restrictives (sanctions) de l'UE Council of the European Union     24/10/2018 Type approval of motor vehicles: transition from EU28 to EU27 EU ambassadors today agreed on a mandate to the presidency to negotiate with the European Parliament new rules aimed at ensuring a smooth transition  for the type-approval of motor vehicles, as well as of systems, components and separate technical units intended for these vehicles, when the UK leaves the EU. Council of the European Union     24/10/2018  2019 EU budget: Council cannot accept EP amendments The Council today informed the European Parliament that it cannot accept all the amendments for the 2019 EU budget adopted by the Parliament.  This triggers a three-week conciliation period starting on 30 October. The two institutions will have until 19 November to find an agreement on next year’s budget. "The presidency stands ready to engage constructively with the Parliament to reconcile our differences and agree on a budget that is both ambitious and realistic." Hartwig Löger, Austrian Federal Minister for Finance Council of the European Union     24/10/2018  Protecting workers: Council sets new exposure limits for 8 additional carcinogens and mutagens On 24 October 2018, the Council's Permanent Representatives Committee approved the provisional agreement reached with the European Parliament on 11 October on the directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work. Work-related cancer is one of the biggest health problems in the workplace, and the primary cause of work-related deaths in the EU. The new directive will improve protection for at least 4 million workers. "This agreement will help save up to 100 000 lives over the next 50 years. By significantly reducing the risk to workers from exposure to cancer-causing chemicals, we have taken a further practical step in fulfilling the objective of our Presidency to create a Europe that protects." Beate Hartinger-Klein, Austrian Federal Minister of Labour, Social Affairs, Health and Consumer Protection The directive amends an existing directive from 2004 by introducing exposure limits to 8 additional carcinogens or mutagens. These are: diesel engine exhaust emissions, mineral oils that have been used before in internal combustion engines, trichloroethylene, 4,4'-Methylenedianiline (MDA), epichlorohydrine, ethylene dibromide, ethylene dichloride, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons mixtures, particularly those containing benzo[a]pyrene. The transposition period will be 2 years. A first revision of the 2004 directive, which set exposure limits to 11 additional carcinogens, was conducted in 2017. The main elements of the agreement are the following: Diesel engine exhaust emissions: an exposure limit value of 0,05 mg/m3measured in elemental carbon is established for all diesel exhaust fumes. This limit value will enter into force 2 years after the end of the transposition period, and 5 years after the end of the transposition period for the sectors of underground mining and tunnel construction. Mineral oils that have been used before in internal combustion engines: the directive establishes a skin notation for used engine oils, indicating the possibility of significant uptake of the substance through the skin. Exposure to used engine oils can be reduced through best practices, such as the use of gloves and other personal protection equipment. Trichloroethylene: this substance is commonly used as an industrial solvent and in the manufacture of fluorocarbon refrigerants. Under the new rules, workers' exposure to this substance must be limited to 54.7 mg/m3 for the long term and 164.1 mg/m3 in the short term. In addition, a skin notation is set out, indicating the possibility of significant uptake of the substance through the skin. Epichlorohydrine: exposure to this substance, which is used for example in the production of plastics and epoxy glues and resins, will have to be limited to 1.9 mg/m3. The directive also establishes a skin notation, indicating the possibility of significant dermal uptake. Ethylene dichloride: the directive establishes an exposure limit value of 8.2 mg/m3, as well as a skin notation. Ethylene dichloride is commonly used to produce vinyl chloride, which in turn is converted into polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons mixtures, particularly those containing benzo[a]pyrene: exposure to such mixtures can occur during work involving burning processes, such as from combustion engine exhaust. The directive establishes a skin notation, indicating the possibility of significant uptake through the skin. Council of the European Union     24/10/2018 Bilateral safeguard measures in trade agreements: Council agrees its position On 24 October 2018, EU ambassadors meeting in the Permanent Representatives Committee (COREPER) agreed on the Council's position on measures to streamline the inclusion of safeguard measures in trade agreements with a view to guaranteeing their effective and consistent application. Bilateral safeguard measures linked to a trade agreement (allowing for the temporary withdrawal of tariff preferences) are intended to protect a particular domestic industryfrom an increase in imports of any product which is causing, or which risks causing, serious injury to that industry. "We are strongly convinced of the political value and economic interest of free trade agreements. But we also want a Europe that protects, and thanks to this legislation we will be better able to safeguard vulnerable products and areas from any temporary negative impact of imports." Margarete Schramböck, Austrian federal minister for digital and economic affairs and president of the Council The European Parliament's committee on international trade voted on its report on 11 October 2018 and announced its decision to enter into negotiations in the plenary on 22 October. Negotiations between the two institutions should start soon with the aim of finding an agreement by the end of 2018. Council of the European Union     24/10/2018  Updated rules for .eu top-level domain: Council agrees its stance The EU is revising its rules on the governance of the .eu top-level domain, which is the internet domain name for the European Union and its citizens. Today's meeting of member states' ambassadors in the Permanent Representatives Committee agreed the Council's position on the proposed revision, which reflects the significant changes in the online environment since the first .eu regulation was adopted 16 years ago, including tougher competition in the domain name space and the bigger role for the multi-stakeholder community in internet governance. The agreed text makes the governance of the .eu domain more transparent by setting up a multi-stakeholder group to advise the Commission on the implementation of the rules. It also extends the right to register a .eu domain to EU citizens living outside the EU. In addition, the Council has aligned the text with the provisions of the general data protection regulation. With its nearly 4 million registrations, the .eu top-level domain is one of the largest international country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). It contributes to a safe and secure online environment and ensures a pan-European presence in the global digital marketplace. It has over 700 accredited registrars worldwide and a registry operator based in Belgium. The proposal under discussion is part of the digital single market strategy and the Commission's regulatory fitness (REFIT) review. Today's agreement constitutes a mandate for the presidency to start talks with the European Parliament with a view to reaching agreement on the final text. The Parliament has not agreed its position yet.
