Αθήνα, 10 Νοεμβρίου  2022   Από το Γραφείο Τύπου της Νέας Δημοκρατίας εκδόθηκε η ακόλουθη ανακοίνωση:   Ο κ. Πολάκης συνεχίζει εδώ και μέρες να απειλεί χυδαία χρήστες του διαδικτύου σαν το τελευταίο τρολ, επειδή δεν του αρέσουν οι απόψεις τους! Προφανώς η φασιστική συμπεριφορά του κ. Πολάκη, τον οποίο ξαναέβγαλαν στη βιτρίνα του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, όχι απλώς εκφράζει τον κ. Τσίπρα αλλά συντονίζεται από αυτόν, καταδεικνύοντας και υπενθυμίζοντας έτσι στην πράξη πως αντιλαμβάνονται έννοιες όπως τη Δημοκρατία και την «πρόοδο» που έχουν κάνει σημαία.

Past Supreme President, Board of Trustees Member, Anthony Kouzounis Passes Away

The members of the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (Order of AHEPA) deeply mourn the passing of Board of Trustees Director and Past Supreme President Anthony Kouzounis, announced Supreme President Jimmy Kokotas. Brother Kouzounis passed away November 8, 2022. He was 86. “We mourn the significant loss of Past Supreme President Anthony Kouzounis,” Supreme President Kokotas said. “Brother Anthony loved the Order immensely, serving numerous offices with dedication, including as a valued member of the Board of Trustees. He will be remembered fondly by the AHEPA family as mentor to many Ahepans, for his generosity to the Order, and as a kind and gentle human being. We are grateful for his service to the community, and he will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Millie. May his memory be eternal.” Brother Kouzounis, a Life Member of Alexander the Great Chapter 29, Houston, served as Supreme President in 2013 to 2014. During his term, AHEPA amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars collectively for humanitarian assistance as AHEPA’s public health campaign for Greece hit its stride with the delivery of medical supplies shipments. He also oversaw the donation of food assistance for the children of Greece and Cyprus and AHEPA provided relief aid to tornado victims of the Midwest. Brother Anthony led a vital AHEPA delegation as part of an inaugural landmark Leadership Mission comprised of American Hellenic and American Jewish organizations to Israel, Cyprus, and Greece in January 2014. Additionally, during his term, AHEPA secured funds to donate a cart for His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to use on the island of Halki. In 2019, Brother Anthony, and his wife, Millie, donated $50,000 to AHEPA’s “Century Capital Campaign.” Brother Kouzounis also served as chair of the AHEPA International Committee during his AHEPA career. For all his contributions to AHEPA and the Greek American community, Brother Kouzounis received the AHEPA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022 at the Centennial Grand Banquet in Orlando, Florida.

Australia: Dairy and Products Annual

Milk production in 2023 in Australia is forecast to decline by another two percent to 8.4 million metric tons (MMT), after an estimated six percent fall in 2022 to 8.55 MMT. This decline is expected despite a big increase in farm gate milk prices for 2022/23 to far exceed the previous record, and overall good seasonal production conditions for dairy farmers leading into the forecast year. The shortage of labor has precluded dairy farmers from taking advantage of these factors and will impact 2023 production. Factory use consumption of milk is forecast to decline to 5.535 MMT, from an estimated 5.685 MMT in 2022, pressured by lower milk production and also forecast growth in milk fluid exports in 2023. Australia is continuing to focus its processed milk products towards cheese production, which is set to remain fairly steady in 2023. However, the volume of butter, skim milk powder and whole milk powder production and exports are all forecast to decline moderately in 2023.

 

India: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional

India’s hospitality sector, which was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, has now recovered to pre-pandemic conditions and sales. The hotel, restaurant and institutional sector owes its rapid recovery to domestic travel and a return to in-person dining and catered events. By the end of 2022, a continued reduction in COVID-19 cases combined with improved consumer confidence for dining out, will drive demand for imported food products. Opportunities for U.S. exporters continue to remain in high-value consumer-oriented food products, including tree nuts, fresh fruits, wines, distilled spirits, condiments, and processed foods. However, high food price inflation, a sharp weakening of the rupee, and continued supply chain challenges may impact demand for imported food products in India.

 

Morocco: WTO Notification on Maximum Limits of Contaminants in Food

Morocco notified G/SPS/N/MAR/87 on October 17, 2022. The notification concerns Morocco’s maximum limits of contaminants in food and food products. Comments are due no later than December 16, 2022. Note that the Government of Morocco approved the Joint Order and published it in the Official Bulletin #7136 on October 20, 2022. An unofficial translation is included in this report.
