    EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR HUMANITARIAN AID - ECHO Emergency Humanitarian Aid Decision 23 02 01 Title: Humanitarian aid for the victims of flooding in Madagascar Location of operation: Madagascar Amount of Decision: EUR 1,500,000 Decision reference number: ECHO/MDG/BUD/2007/01000 Explanatory Memorandum 1 - Rationale, needs and target population. 1.1. - Rationale: Madagascar, an island off the southeast coast of Africa, east of Mozambique, suffers periodically the impact of cyclones while the southern part of the island is regularly affected by drought. The climate of Madagascar is tropical along the coast, temperate inland, and arid in the south. The weather is dominated by the southeastern winds that originate in the Indian Ocean anticyclone, a center of high atmospheric pressure that seasonally changes its position over the ocean. The east coast, being most directly exposed to the winds, is notorious for the destructive cyclones that occur during the rainy season, from November to April. Since December 2006, various regions of Madagascar were hit by cyclone Bondo, tropical storms Clovis, Enok, Favio and cyclone Gamede, which caused an exceptionally heavy rainfall affecting, in particular, the infrastructures of communication, health and agriculture. In the meantime, this year's rainy season has brought exceptional rains to most of the island. These conditions have contributed to heavy flooding in large, populated and cultivated areas throughout the country, resulting in over 90,000 hectares of agricultural land affected1, over 85,000 metric tones (MT) of rice harvest lost (against an annual production of approximately 3,600,000 MT) and at least 33,000 displaced people.

  • Slow Senate Start Amid Pandemic a Lesson to Limit Delay Tactics, Says
    Fourni par InfoMédia http://www.infomedia.gc.ca/parl Provided by NewsDesk Publié | Published: 2020-11-04 Hill Times Reçu | Received: 2020-11-04 00:01 (HNE) Slow Senate start amid pandemic a lesson to limit delay tactics, says CSG leader 'Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it,' says Sen. Scott Tannas. Samantha Wright Allen With Senators finally nailing down hybrid sittings and striking committees after months of disagreement that led to limited work during the pandemic, one Senate leader says his colleagues have learned their lesson about capitulating to procedural delays and will likely have "little patience" for such tactics going forward. "Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it. A lot of people are tired of it," said Canadian Senators Group Leader Scott Tannas. One example of that inside baseball played out on Oct. 29, said the Alberta Senator, with the long path to setting up committees coming to an end. The agreement guarantees allocated committee seats stay with various groups rather than individual Senators, which some said leaves powers in leaders' hands and violates the rules granting rights to Senators. The Progressive Senate Group (PSG), the smallest of the four recognized groups, said the vote in the Chamber-held before hybrid sittings were instituted-was done at the expense of giving all Senators a voice, while the other three groups said a clear majority supported the move.

  • You Can't Be What You Can't See— Women
    Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory 49th Presiding Officers and Clerks Conference Wellington, New Zealand 8-13 July 2018 You can’t be what you can’t see— Women in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Paper to be presented by Joy Burch, MLA, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory Page 1 of 10 ‘Any way you look at it there are many, many women who are capable of that job of leadership and making an impact at every level of government and I think we should see more”1 “Women in politics do make a difference and they can change people’s perceptions of politics – they also change the structural discrimination of old-style political systems and parliamentary conventions”2 1 Rosemary Follett, ‘Rosemary Follett and Kate Carnell reunited to sight sexism in politics’ Canberra Times 7th March 2015. 2 Katy Gallagher, ACT Chief Minister, katygallagher.net/blog blog post, 1st October 2014. Page 2 of 10 Introduction Women have played an important and prominent role in the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory since its establishment in 1989. The ACT was the first state or territory to have a woman as its Head of Government. In the Second Assembly, the positions of Speaker, Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition were all held by women. Perhaps most significantly, at the Territory election for the Ninth Assembly in 2016, thirteen women were elected to the Assembly. It was the first time in Australian history that a majority of women had been elected to a parliament and one of the first jurisdictions in the world to have done so.3 It was also notable that the voters of the ACT returned this result even though only 36 percent of the total 140 candidates that stood for election were women.

    A Guide to Brexit Terminology This glossary has been designed to explain some of the key terms used in relation to Brexit. At the end of the glossary are links to additional resources and originals of key documents. The Glossary is not designed to be an exhaustive list and the authors hope that you find the explanations of key terms helpful. The UK which voted to join the EU had a different constitution to the UK that voted to leave the EU. This is reflected by some of the terminology used in the glossary and the inclusion of reference to the legislatures in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The referendum was authorised and conducted under the European Union Referendum Act 2015. It is advisory because Parliament is sovereign and because the Act contained no enabling legislation. Enabling provisions are ones which explicitly state that Parliament is legally bound to implement the outcome of the referendum. Hence, Parliament was not legally obliged to enact the outcome of the Brexit referendum. In contrast, for countries with codified constitutions, the outcome of a referendum ‘may’, in some instances bind both parliament and the government to implement its result. In Britain, however, with an uncodified constitution, it is possible for the government to promise in advance that it would respect the result, but that promise would be only political and not legally binding as parliament cannot be bound be a previous parliament; it can change its mind.

  • Communications Commission Oaseirys Çhellinsh
    DIRECTOR Dr Carmel McLaughlin Communications Commission Oaseirys Çhellinsh Director Dr Carmel McLaughlin Response to Ofcom’s Second Public Service Broadcasting Review Phase Two: Preparing for the digital future 4 December 2008 1. Executive Summary The Communications Commission welcomes this opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s Second Public Service Broadcasting Review. The review contained the proposal to merge Border and Tyne Tees news but with separate 15-minute sequences in the main weekday programme for viewers in the Border and Tyne Tees areas and separate late-evening bulletins which would directly affect the Isle of Man (Section 7 and Annex 1 of Ofcom’s review). Following publication of Ofcom’s review, the Commission conducted a public consultation inviting views on proposals to change ITV’s regional news coverage. The issue was reported and debated on the radio, internet and in the Island’s newspapers. In total we received 120 responses from Members of Tynwald, Government Departments, Statutory Boards, Parish Commissioners, Women’s Institutes, Manx Radio and other organisations and individuals from across the Island. The Commission thanks everyone who took time to respond to the consultation and for their considered responses. This submission summarises the responses to the consultation. The Commission, Tynwald and the great majority of respondents to our consultation are of the opinion that viewers and the Island would be better served by the Island’s transmitters switching to ITV Granada rather than being part of the Border/Tyne Tees proposal. The Isle of Man while not part of UK has cultural, economic and social links with the North West of England rather than Border and the North East of England.
