The European pillar in which the different regional cultural features (historical deliverable. context of mining and metallurgy, cultural heritage, economic integration and Extract from transition), and the likely actors and partners in a SLO process within the respective DoA regions, will all be mapped. 2. The global pillar where there will be a review of the existing international guidance on facilitating public consultation and SLO, i.e. ICMM’s 10 Principles of Sustainable Development; the Global Reporting Initiative; guidance pertaining to SLO and sustainability by funding organisations such as the World Bank, IFC, and IMF; UN declarations; ILO recommendations and other guidance developed outside Europe, e.g. in Australia, Canada, USA and Chile.

Topic: H2020-SC5-2017 MIREU ● Regional Cultural Identity and Stakeholder Mapping Report About MIREU The project MIREU aims to establish a network of mining and metallurgy regions across Europe with a view to ensure the sustained and sustainable supply of mineral raw materials to the EU. The network will help the regions to share knowledge and experiences when facing the challenge to establish and maintain an extractive industry. MIREU will facilitate an exchange between all interested stakeholders in the regions, namely regulatory authorities, political and administrative bodies, development agencies, mining companies, non-government organisations, as well as the general public. The project will develop a shared knowledge base, taking into account the region-specific geographic and economic features, cultural, societal and language diversity, and their historical developments. The network will also learn from experience in other regions of the World. This knowledge base will allow to understand what has been conducive and what hampering to the development of extractive and metallurgical industries. It will also provide the context for a bottom-up integration of these activities into their respective socio-economic and socio-cultural context. Development is about people and, therefore, bringing people into the decision-finding procedure in order to achieve a ‘social license to operate’ will be a key aspect of the project. Guidelines and recommendations for actions to be taken to foster a sustained and sustainable development of the extractive industries will be developed in close co-operation with a range of selected regions from the European Union. These regions will form a nucleus and multipliers for a more extensive network beyond the life-time of the project.

  • Statnett Semi-Annual Report 2016
    Half year report 2016 1. half year report 2016 1 Statnett - 1. half year report 2016 Table of contents 05 Director’s report 15 Statement of comprehensive income 16 Balance sheet 17 Statement of changes in equity 18 Cash flow statement 19 Selected notes 2 Statnett - 1. half year report 2016 In short Statnett is the transmission system operator in the Norwegian power system, and is responsible for socio-economically efficient operations and development of the central transmission grid for power. Statnett’s social mission is to ensure a reliable supply of electricity, contribute to value creation in society and pave the way for better environmental solutions. The power situation in Norway has been good during the first six months of 2016. A good hydrological balance at the beginning of the period meant that reservoir water levels at the end of the first six months were above the median. The operating situation has been satisfactory during the period. Statnett’s suppliers had two fatal accidents in connection with work on Statnett’s projects. This is not acceptable for Statnett, and the organisation have been marked by the development of an action plan in the second quarter. The Statnett Group’s underlying profit after tax amounted to NOK 696 million in the first six months of 2016 (NOK 823 million in the corresponding period in 2015). The reduction in underlying profit is mainly due to lower pension costs first half of 2015 as a result of a non-recurring effect caused by the transition from defined benefit to a defined contribution pension scheme, somewhat offset by higher permitted revenue in 2016, primarily as a result of an increased asset base in the Group.

    COMITE MARITIME INTERNATIONAL SALVAGE CONVENTION QUESTIONNAIRE TO MEMBER ASSOCIATIONS RESPONSES OF THE ARGENTINE MARITIME LAW ASSOCIATION The CMI Executive Council has set up an International Working Group (IWG) to consider whether any changes need to be made to the Salvage Convention 1989. The questionnaire which follows has been developed with a view to collecting your views on areas which have been identified by the International Salvage Union as possibly needing reform. We would be grateful if you would provide your responses to this questionnaire as soon as possible. 1. Article 1 in the Salvage Convention 1989 contains the following definition: "For the purpose of this Convention: (d) Damage to the environment being substantial physical damage to human health or to marine life or resources in coastal or inland waters or areas adjacent thereto, caused by pollution, contamination, fire, explosion or similar major incidents." (Emphasis added) Comments 1.1 The International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1992, defines "Pollution damage" in Article 1 paragraph 6 as meaning: "(a) loss or damage caused outside the ship by contamination resulting from the escape or discharge of oil from the ship, wherever such escape or discharge may occur, provided that compensation for impairment of the environment other than loss of profits from such impairment shall be limited to costs of reasonable measures of reinstatement actually undertaken or to be undertaken."

  • 1.1 Sami Archives/Sámi Arkiiva 1.2 Use of Public Sector Tenancy
    Norway R E P O R T for the period ending 31 May 2013, in accordance with section 22 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organisation, from the Government of Norway, on the measures taken to give effect to the provisions of the ILO CONVENTION NO. 169 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries Part I – General Policy 1.1 Sami Archives/Sámi Arkiiva In 2009 the Sámi Archives moved into new premises in Diehtosiida, the Sámi sience building in Kautokeino. By request of Sámediggi (the Sami Parliament), the Sámi Archives has been incorporated as a department of the National Archival Services of Norway from 2005. 1.2 Use of public sector tenancy arrangement for Sámi cultural buildings The Directorate of Public Construction and Property (Statsbygg) acts as building commissioner on behalf of the Norwegian Government, and builds and leases buildings to Norwegian public sector in a tenancy arrangement, ”husleieordningen i staten”. The investment costs of the projects are initially covered by Statsbygg, but are reflected in the rent the user later pays to lease the building. In the White Paper No. 28 (2007-2008) Sami Policy, the Government proposed that as a rule the tenancy arrangement be applied in state financing of new Sami cultural buildings given priority by Sámediggi, and that Sámediggi be given full responsibility for prioritizing between relevant cultural building projects. Sámediggi and the Ministry of Culture have held consultations establishing procedures for the application of the tenancy arrangement for Sami cultural buildings. Projects that will require additional grants to cover the leasing costs, must be presented to and approved by the Storting (the Norwegian Parliament).

  • Overview of Norway's Follow-Up of the Report On
    OVERVIEW OF NORWAY’S FOLLOW-UP OF THE REPORT ON THE SITUATION OF THE SAMI PEOPLE IN THE SÁPMI REGION OF NORWAY, SWEDEN AND FINLAND BY THE UN SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES 2014 1 During the 18th session of the Human Rights Council in September 2011, the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, Professor James Anaya, presented a report on the situation of the Sami people in the Sápmi region of Finland, Sweden and Norway, based on a visit in 2010. In his report, the Special Rapporteur made several recommendations to each of the countries. The Norwegian Government takes all input and recommendations from the Special Rapporteur seriously. This overview will summarise relevant information regarding each of these recommendations including, where relevant, how the Government will follow up the recommendations. The overview was completed in September 2012 and has been updated twice. Several of the Special Rapporteur’s recommendations to Norway concern ongoing processes relating to proposals by the independent Sami Rights Committee regarding recognition of specific indigenous land rights and general rules for land management in traditional Sami areas. The follow-up to these processes is currently under consideration. General legal and policy framework 1. [...] More remains to be done to ensure that the Sami people can pursue their self- determination and develop their common goals as a people living across more than one State, as well as enjoy within each of the States in which they live the full range of rights that are guaranteed for indigenous peoples in contemporary international instruments.
