ΑΣΠΡΟΠΑΡΗΣ απο Ο.ΦΥ.ΠΕ.ΚΑ-είδος ΣΕ ΚΙΝΔΥΝΟ

Ο Ασπροπάρης είναι σχεδόν παμφάγος. Τρέφεται με πτώματα, σαύρες, χελώνες και μικρά πουλιά που βρίσκει νεκρά στους δρόμους. 

Είναι καλοκαιρινός επισκέπτης στη χώρα μας. 

Φωλιάζει σε απομακρυσμένα απόκρημνα βράχια και ο πληθυσμός του έχει υποστεί δραματική μείωση.

Statement by President Michel at the G7 summit

Press material Sunday 26 June 2022   ● European Council   26/06/2022 19:20 | Statements and remarks | Statement by President Michel at the G7 summit side event on Partnership for global infrastructure and investment   The EU fully supports the G7 Partnership on Global Infrastructure and Investment. The reason for this is simple. We have always been a leader in cooperating with developing countries. 46% of global development aid comes from the European Union. And every year, almost 70 billion euros go towards funding more peace, more prosperity, and more development. The G7 is committed to values, standards, transparency, principles, and so, too, is the EU. We focus on smart, clean and secure investments in sustainable infrastructure as well as in digital infrastructure, climate, energy and transport. We also invest in the power and potential of people, in their education and health as well as in cutting-edge research. The EU is a project of peace and prosperity. It is anchored in the rule of law and multilateralism. We rally our partners around high standards in human, social, and workers’ rights. Our G7 Partnership wants to drive forward infrastructure that is sustainable, inclusive, resilient and high quality, in emerging markets and in developing countries. One example of this is the EU's investment in vaccines and medicine production, in particular in African countries. Multilateral development banks (MDBs) will play a catalyst role in mobilising private capital along with our public support. The European Union is promoting its Global Gateway initiative, too. At our EU-Africa Summit, last February, we announced an Africa-Europe Investment Package of 150 billion euros. We are investing in many projects, in Africa and with Africa. The submarine EurAfrica Gateway Cable and the local pharmaceuticals cooperation are two good examples of this. In addition, in the Indo-Pacific region, we are very engaged in the field of sustainable connectivity in transport, energy and technology. In conclusion, we need values and standards. That is why we are fully on board. I am convinced that the G7, and the EU, are taking the right direction for a more stable and forward-looking partnership. Thank you.

Access all TTB online services at myTTB.gov June 24, 2022 Announcing New Appointments at TTB We are pleased to announce several personnel changes effective this month that will allow TTB to remain flexible to meet our mission needs, fulfill new mandates, and facilitate continued improvements to bureau operations. We established a new executive directorate, the Office of Policy and Planning (OPP) which will be led by Elisabeth (‘Lis’) Kann, as the Assistant Administrator, Office of Policy and Planning, where she will lead cross-bureau teams in addressing priority policy issues and mandates affecting the bureau.  In her new capacity, Lis will continue to serve as the bureau’s Chief Risk Officer while also managing TTB’s strategic planning and analytics programs.  Most recently, Lis served as the TTB’s Assistant Administrator for External Affairs/Chief of Staff and has been at TTB for over 11 years. In view of her successful stewardship of high-profile, cross-directorate initiatives to date, Lis’ placement in this new position situates the bureau well to handle the new and mission-critical challenges that lie ahead. Amy Graydon will serve as TTB’s new Assistant Administrator for External Affairs/Chief of Staff. Amy joins TTB from the Department of Transportation, where she was the senior executive Director of the Office of Policy, Strategic Planning, and Regulations at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.  In this capacity, she led the organization’s efforts to build a long-term strategic plan and coordinated extensively across the Department’s multiple operating components to drive transformational initiatives with broad-based public impact.  In her new role, Amy will focus on improving TTB’s stakeholder engagement, communications, and public affairs functions while also facilitating management of the bureau’s internal processes and workflows.  We are also pleased to announce that Christina McMahon has been selected as TTB’s Chief Counsel.  Christina comes to us from Treasury’s Office of General Counsel (Enforcement & Intelligence) where she supported the Department’s intelligence community as the Legal Counsel for the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA) and was serving as Acting Chief Counsel at TTB.  Christina has prior experience working at TTB, serving as a Presidential Management Fellow in the Regulations and Rulings Division and then in the Office of the Chief Counsel as an attorney-advisor in the Tax and Trade Division.  Christina received both her law degree and B.A. from Tulane University in New Orleans. And finally, we’d like to welcome Cameron (‘Cam’) Brown, who recently joined TTB as the Acting Deputy Assistant Administrator for Headquarters Operations as a detailee.  Cam joins us from the Department of Homeland Security, where he most recently served as the Acting Principal Deputy Chief Counsel for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), leading CISA's Office of the Chief Counsel (OCC).  His OCC portfolio has included responsibility for general law, rulemaking, regulatory enforcement, cybersecurity, infrastructure security, and operational legal work. Lis’ extensive and successful bureau experience leading complex initiatives coupled with Christina, Amy and Cam’s broad range of expertise will help us adapt to better proactively identify, prepare for, and respond to challenges as they arise. TTB's New Office of Policy and Planning TTB’s Regulatory Agenda Update Now Available TTB’s planned regulatory and deregulatory actions are now available as part of the Treasury Department’s regulatory update.
