They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

Public Service Broadcasting in Transition: A Documentary Reader Abstract This is a book of documents, comments, and cases that has been prepared, at the request of the European Institute for the Media, for the use of government officials and citizens interested in strengthening public service broadcasting in transition societies. In this book we try to provide a small chest of tools and background information that will be of assistance. We start, in Chapter 1, with an overview of some of the general principles of public service broadcasting, and include pertinent comments on each of them. Here, as throughout the book, we concentrate on issues of governance and financing, with some attention as well ot issues surrounding programming. In Chapter 2, we turn to current issues in the European-level debate, partly from the perspective of European expectations and standards that are employed in evaluation and accession processes.

  • Ecpm Yb 2010
    by Leo van Doesburg In our last yearbook, we characterized 2009 as a “very energetic year.” The year 2010 can be called a “turbulent year.” New elections were held in Moldova, the coalition could maintain their majority, but it is still a fragile situation and a new president could not be chosen. In the Ukraine the situation remains unclear aſter the change in power, and in Belarus the year ended disastrously with the knock down violently of a demonstration aſter the presidential elections in December 2010. Hundreds of people were captured, and two of the leaders of our member party “Belarusian Christian Democracy” were aſter being imprisoned and interrogated, condemned for imprisonment or forced labor. Also we see that certain Western diplomats and activists are increasing their attacks on family laws and the traditional definition of marriage in different countries in East Europe. In Macedonia the ECPM tried to halt these attacks by giving objective information about their rights in the negotiation process in the accession towards the European Union concerning family laws. In addition, courses were developed about the relation between “European integration and identity” to give a well-balanced and realistic view on their integration to the European Union. We saw that in many (potential) candidate countries objective information about the different strategic directions of the EU is missing and people are stranded between being Eurofile or Euro-sceptic. We teach the people to be “Euro-realistic.” However, there were also many things for which we are extremely thankful. In February of this year, the ECPM was officially recognized as a European Political Party.

  • FECRIS Russian Branch Behind the Persecution of Non- Orthodox Minorities in Russia
    FECRIS Russian branch behind the persecution of non- Orthodox minorities in Russia For years, the French anti-sect umbrella organization has been funded – almost entirely – by the French government which, under the principle of laïcité, is supposed to be neutral in religious matters • The concept of ‘spiritual security’ • Extremism without violence • The Russian Orthodox Church hailed the ban of Jehovah’s Witnesses • FECRIS member association in Russia: St. Irenaeus of Lyons Religious Studies Research Centre • FECRIS involvement in the hate campaign against religious minorities in Russia • French laïcité betrayed • Conclusions HRWF (12.06.2017) - “The persecution of non-Orthodox minorities of foreign origin, or without a ‘historical’ presence in Russia, is based on the philosophy of ‘spiritual security’ which is promoted by the Kremlin, the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian branch of the France-based European Federation of Research and Information Centers on Sectarianism (FECRIS),” declared French attorney Patricia Duval at a conference on religious freedom in Russia co-organized by MEP Hannu Takkula (Finland, ALDE) and Human Rights Without Frontiers on 6 June at the European Parliament in Brussels. The concept of ‘spiritual security’ In the 2000 National Security Concept, the Putin Administration stated: “Assurance of the Russian Federation’s national security also includes protecting the cultural and spiritual-moral legacy and the historical traditions and standards of public life, and preserving the cultural heritage of all Russia’s peoples. There must be a state policy to maintain the population’s spiritual and moral welfare, prohibit the use of airtime to promote violence or base instincts, and counter the adverse impact of foreign religious organizations and missionaries.” This spiritual understanding of national security began with the adoption of the Russian federal law on security in March 1992.
