Copenhagen? “Obama’s confusion” for Greenpeace. Caroline Lucas, the Greens and new nuclear plants in the UK. The Build up portal, energy, buildings and the European Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs. Will nine EU nations build an offshore wind power grid? They are Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg.
08.10.09 I know that Barack Obama is under pressure for his decisions concerning the health system, but there is another reason to criticise him… Why no reactions by Greenpeace and WWF against Obama and his government that would let Westinghouse go on with Italian policy for – improbable? – nuclear energy? No nuclear energy in Italy is good as in Denmark although Italy is not Denmark… And what about Steven Chu, US energy secretary, who is behaving as a bad politician from this point of view? I am not suggesting that the Republicans are better, but some Democrats are not good.
- Were environmentalists “elated at the election of Barack Obama, and his appointment of the Nobel Prize winning physicist Steven Chu as Energy Secretary”?! Were they really elated?
Furthermore, there was a tv program in Italy that found serious problems in managing nuclear waste in Italy or reports that were not written in a good way… Without considering a ship that was sunk by ‘ndrangheta, the mafia in Calabria, near an Italian coast… Or even a mountain that has been found radioactive in Italy…
Against? I am sure Barack Obama will be against the interest of Westinghouse having to do with the possible – or impossible – nuclear energy project in Italy. Maybe there will be no more nuclear energy produced in Italy…
The Observer. I have read an article by Oliver Morgan and the Observer of Sunday 3 July 2005. It reads: “Last week, BNFL confirmed it was to sell its Westinghouse reactor design business, and senior government officials believe BNG, BNFL’s decommissioning and operations business, is incapable of winning work on UK sites in future without a partner or new owner”.
You may also read the following sentence in that article. “A damning internal report into a major leak of radioactive liquid at British Nuclear Fuels’ Thorp reprocessing plant at Sellafield has found that management was complacent and that the incident was not detected for eight months”. Did everything happen that way?
Another sentence reads: “Thorp has been shut down since detection of the leak, and senior figures at the NDA believe it should not reopen”. How is the situation now?
Termine ultimo venerdì 24 luglio per presentare la propria domanda per un posto di addetto alla comunicazione all’ FCU JH (dovrebbe occuparsi di celle a combustibile e ad idrogeno).

La Fra (Agenzia per i diritti fondamentali), ente Ue con sede a Vienna, cerca entro le 13 di giovedì 9 luglio un manager di programma nell’ambito della ricerca sociale (sia il bando che la domandain inglese) e i cosiddetti end, gli esperti nazionali distaccati, in pratica lavoratori della pubblica amministrazione (bando e domanda, come di consueto, in inglese).

Do they “spearheaded political campaigns”? Do they have a “21st-Century resurgence”? Does the band show insight in the book?

25.12.09 Qualche vostro parente (sorella, fratello, cugino, cugina, ecc. ecc.) è rimasto fermo a Milano Linate o in qualche aeroporto del Centronord rischiando di rimanere lì a Natale o prendendo l’aereo con molta difficoltà? E come va con i treni o in autostrada? E le navi ed i taxi? Eravate alle stazioni ferroviarie di Roma (Tiburtina, Termini, ecc.) quando ci sono stati problemi?
- Radiocity con Stefano Mensurati su Radio1 Rai e le difficoltà a spostarsi con i trasporti. Tag disponibili sul tema a fine articolo…
13.12.09 Il rimborso del biglietto per ritardo o cancellazione del treno e acquisto dello stesso biglietto sul treno. Chissà come influenzerà la nostra vita il nuovo regolamento europeo per i diritti dei passeggeri ferroviari che prevederebbe queste misure. Come l’ho saputo, vi chiederete. Tramite Radioeuropa, un programma radiofonico di Radio1 Rai (audio), che si è concentrata sul lancio di una campagna europea contro la droga, Serbia e Montenegro e la conferenza sul clima di Copenhagen.
A proposito di quest’ultimo argomento, cari lettori o turisti, si è anche parlato di una certa mostra Rethinking (Ripensando) alla locale Galleria nazionale (è lo Statens Museum for Kunst, il Museo statale per l’arte?). Infine, il concerto dei Backstreet Boys a Copenhagen per la campagna europea Play To Stop (Suona per fermare).
07.11.09 C’è anche un eurodeputato della Lega nord, Matteo Salvini (spero di non sbagliarmi), ad Omnibus di La7 martedì dieci novembre, dalle sette del mattino.
07.10.09 Che novità ci saranno? In aula l’Europarlamento mercoledì sette ottobre a Bruxelles, in Belgio, ed uno dei temi di discussione è il referendum irlandese sul Trattato di Lisbona. Credo sia più interessante il dibattito sulla possibilità di rimborso per i passeggeri in caso di fallimento di una compagnia aerea, visti i casi verificatisi… Più “noiosa” l’analisi del cosiddetto Statuto della società europea, qualcosa di cui non ero a conoscenza e che avrebbe più o meno a che fare con la giurisprudenza e l’economia. Un altro argomento all’esame degli eurodeputati sono anche i procedimenti penali transfrontalieri, al di là delle frontiere, un tema piuttosto importante su cui si voterà il giorno dopo. Buon lavoro agli europarlamentari.
… e l’otto… Che temi importanti, l’informazione ed i media in Italia o la costituzione di una commissione sulla crisi economica e finanziaria… Speriamo che la discussione abbia qualche utilità ed in quest’ultimo caso ci sarà anche un voto. Sì o no anche per una risoluzione sul vertice del G20 a Pittsburg e su aiuti a Paesi più poveri contro la crisi. Scommettiamo che in Italia (ma anche in Germania) si parlerà della situazione mediatica nel Belpaese?
Chi parlerà. Fra gli interventi previsti quelli della commissaria che si occupa di comunicazione, Viviane Reding; degli eurodeputati David Sassoli, Debora Serracchiani e Rita Borsellino (Pd in Italia e Pse in Europa); Francesco Speroni e Mario Borghezio (Lega nord in Italia e tale Efd a livello europeo); Mario Mauro, Elisabetta Gardini e Salvatore Iacolino (Forza Italia e Ppe); Sonia Alfano e Gianni Vattimo (Italia dei valori e liberali dell’Alde); Oreste Rossi (in Europa con tale Efd); Carlo Casini (Udc e Ppe); Gianluca Susta (Pse in Europa); Fiorello Provera (Efd in ambito europeo); Clemente Mastella (Udeur e Ppe) ed Alfredo Pallone (Ppe).

Eurofound, XL Leisure and the collapse of this package-holiday society after being “on the brink of insolvency for some time”. Holidaymakers, a meltdown and a demise, credit crunch and overheads. What do you think of tourists “stranded in airports across Europe”, the company’s assets “frozen”, “flights grounded” and debt “amassed”? But hope is maybe very important, let’s hope it. Last, but not least, the Observer and the evocation of the collapse of International Leisure Group.
