Δήλωση Νίκου Ανδρουλάκη, Προέδρου ΠΑΣΟΚ – Κινήματος Αλλαγής

15/08/2023


Η μεγάλη γιορτή της Ορθοδοξίας, η Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου, μας γεμίζει ελπίδα και δύναμη.

Ζήσαμε φέτος το καλοκαίρι τραγικά γεγονότα, με τις πυρκαγιές και τη δολοφονία ενός νέου ανθρώπου.

Οι πολίτες χρειάζονται ποιότητα ζωής και ασφάλεια. Έχουμε χρέος να εργαστούμε για να τους τα προσφέρουμε.

Με πίστη, δύναμη και αισιοδοξία, λοιπόν, θα αγωνιστούμε για κοινωνική δικαιοσύνη και εθνική αξιοπρέπεια στη σημερινή απαιτητική συγκυρία για την πατρίδα μας.

Εύχομαι στις Ελληνίδες και τους Έλληνες χρόνια πολλά!

ΚΥΡΙΑΚΟΥ ΜΗΤΣΟΤΑΚΗ, ΠΡΩΘΥΠΟΥΡΓΟΥ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ δήλωσις στις εορταστικές εκδηλώσεις στην Τήνο

...για την Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου και για την επέτειο του τορπιλισμού του καταδρομικού «Έλλη»

15 Αυγούστου 2023

Στις εορταστικές εκδηλώσεις στην Τήνο για την Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου και για την επέτειο του τορπιλισμού του καταδρομικού «Έλλη», παρέστη ο Πρωθυπουργός Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης.

Ο Πρωθυπουργός, συνοδευόμενος από τον υπουργό Εθνικής Άμυνας, Νίκο Δένδια και τον Αρχηγό ΓΕΕΘΑ, Στρατηγό Κωνσταντίνο Φλώρο, επιβιβάστηκε στην πυραυλάκατο (ΤΠΚ) «Ξένος» του Πολεμικού Ναυτικού για την επιμνημόσυνο δέηση στο σημείο που βυθίστηκε το «Έλλη», όπου έριξε στεφάνι στη θάλασσα για να τιμήσει τους άνδρες του καταδρομικού που έδωσαν τη ζωή τους για την πατρίδα.

Στη συνέχεια ο κ. Μητσοτάκης παρακολούθησε τη Θεία Λειτουργία στον Ιερό Ναό της Ευαγγελιστρίας και ακολούθησε τη λιτάνευση της Ιεράς Εικόνας της Μεγαλόχαρης μέχρι το λιμάνι του νησιού. Μετά το τέλος των εορταστικών εκδηλώσεων ο Πρωθυπουργός, συνομίλησε με πολίτες στο λιμάνι του νησιού και έκανε την ακόλουθη δήλωση:

«Σήμερα, από τις πιο μεγάλες εκκλησίες μέχρι τα πιο μικρά ξωκλήσια, ο Ελληνισμός η Ορθοδοξία γιορτάζουμε την Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου. Ήθελα, ειδικά αυτή τη μέρα να βρεθώ σήμερα εδώ στην Τήνο, η οποία γιορτάζει τα 200 χρόνια από την εύρεση της θαυματουργού εικόνας.

Σήμερα η σκέψη μας κατευθύνεται στις Ένοπλες Δυνάμεις. Σε αυτές και σε αυτούς οι οποίοι φροντίζουν να είμαστε ασφαλείς σε αυτούς οι οποίοι έδωσαν τη ζωή τους στην άνιση μάχη με την πύρινη λαίλαπα. Γνωρίζουν πάντα ότι, η πολιτεία θα βρίσκεται κοντά τους και θα τους στηρίζει.

Ο Δεκαπενταύγουστος είναι μια μέρα ταυτισμένη με την ελπίδα και την αισιοδοξία και έχουμε κάθε λόγο σήμερα ως Ελληνίδες και ως Έλληνες να είμαστε πιο αισιόδοξοι για το μέλλον.

Παρά τις δυσκολίες τις οποίες αντιμετωπίζουμε, η χώρα μας έχει ξεπεράσει πια μια δεκαετή κρίση και έχει κάθε δικαίωμα να ατενίζει το μέλλον με περισσότερη ελπίδα με περισσότερη αισιοδοξία, εξάλλου αυτές οι λέξεις είναι τόσο ταυτισμένες με την σημερινή μεγάλη μέρα.

Εύχομαι σε όλες και σε όλους, τις εορτάζουσες και τους εορτάζοντες, στη σύζυγό μου η οποία εορτάζει κι αυτή, χρόνια πολλά, όπως σε κάθε Ελληνίδα σε κάθε Έλληνα είτε βρίσκονται στην Ελλάδα είτε βρίσκονται παντού στον κόσμο. Σήμερα γιορτάζει όλος ο ελληνισμός γιορτάζει όλη η Ορθοδοξία. Χρόνια πολλά και πάλι».

Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau...

 Statement by the Prime Minister on International Youth Day

August 12, 2023
Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on International Youth Day:

“Today, on International Youth Day, we celebrate the young leaders of today and tomorrow who are building a better future for everyone.

“Young people all across the country are drivers of change. In line with this year’s theme, ‘Green Skills for Youth: Toward a Sustainable World’ – we know this is particularly true. When it comes to taking the ambitious action required to fight climate change and safeguard a strong, healthy future, young people are leading the charge, and in that spirit, the Government of Canada seeks out their advice and perspectives. For example, earlier this year, my Youth Council provided advice to Canada’s G7 delegation on climate change, economic resilience, and global health, to help us forge a path toward a better world.

“We hear the concerns of young people too, and we are taking action to build a better tomorrow. This year, we launched the new Tax-Free First Home Savings Account, to put the dream of home ownership back in reach for young people by helping first-time buyers save for a down payment on a place to call their own. We are making higher education more affordable by providing more financial support for post-secondary students and eliminating interest on Canada Student Loans and Canada Apprentice Loans. We are also helping students get job experience through programs like Canada Summer Jobs, while giving young people the chance to volunteer in their communities through the Canada Service Corps. We will always have the backs of young people in Canada as we make life more affordable and create more opportunities for them to get the skills they need.

“Young people in Canada and around the world are endlessly inspiring. Their power, influence, and vision are helping us build a future with clean air, clean water, and a real and fair chance at success for everyone. Youth are the changemakers of today and tomorrow. On this International Youth Day, we celebrate the immense potential of young people and look forward to building a better world, together.”

APEC update

 

Good Regulatory Practices for Better Policies, Greater Benefits for the Public

Issued by the APEC Sub-Committee on Standards and Conformance

Seattle, The United States, 11 August 2023

Regulators need to strive to do better in designing policies that are balanced, equitable and eliminate undue burdens on groups such as small businesses and others with untapped economic potential, said experts at a good regulatory practices conference in Seattle on Thursday.

“We must never forget that at the core of everything we do, we aim to make people’s lives better,” said Richard Revesz, Administrator of the United States Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, in his keynote address at the conference.  

“Efforts to reduce burdens, modernize regulatory review and pursue international regulatory cooperation are all means of pursuing our larger, collective aim: ensuring that regulations improve people’s lives, particularly those in underserved communities,” Revesz said. 

The 16^th Conference on Good Regulatory Practices, held in Seattle on the margins of the Third APEC Senior Officials’ Meeting and Related Meetings, brought together a diverse group of policy experts and regulatory decision-makers from the region to share best practices and discuss how government can make public consultations more inclusive—a key regulatory tool for engaging stakeholders.

A panel of speakers from Canada, Chile, Peru and the United States highlighted that regulators need to do a better job in receiving inputs from all interested and affected persons, identifying specific public concerns, and addressing problems.

They stressed that regulations affect diverse groups differently, and it is crucial to develop a better, honest and more transparent approach in reaching various groups, establishing relationships and engaging the public for their views.

“The regulatory actions of any one economy can affect international trade and investments as the world becomes smaller and more interconnected,” said Kent Shigetomi, Chair of the APEC Sub-Committee on Standards and Conformance. 

“Good regulatory practices provide predictability and stability for traders and investors, but when used in the regulatory process also deliver greater economic and social benefits for the citizens of our economies,” Shigetomi added. 

Regulatory authorities also explored how they can innovate and use technology tools to manage the regulatory process such as conducting consultations, managing comments and reviewing regulations. 

“Core good regulatory practices such as the use of regulatory impact assessment, public consultation, and reliance on international standards, are crucial in developing policies and regulatory responses as we’re facing transboundary policy challenges like greening the economy,” said Renee Hancher, Director of Regulatory Policy from the Office of the United States Trade Representative, the public sector overseer of the APEC-funded project.

“There is also increasing focus on equity and inclusiveness in regulatory decision-making,” Hancher added. “We need to continue to build capacity among trade and regulatory officials in the region to produce better outcomes for all of our people.”

As the host economy of APEC 2023, the United States is putting forward a blueprint document for advancing good regulatory practices, which will feature updated tools, regulatory processes and regulatory flexibility measures that support innovation and growth. 

The blueprint aims to support economies’ good regulatory efforts to incorporate new concepts, such as inclusiveness and regulatory agility, as well as practices that can improve the effectiveness of member economies’ legal infrastructure which also contributes to reducing barriers to trade and encouraging sustainable economic growth.
