    5th October, 2015, Riga FIABCI Baltic Multinational Chapter press release: FIABCI Baltic Real Estate Development Forum - cautious optimism Macroeconomic growth prospects in the Baltic countries are currently quite good: households’ financial situation has improved, as well as the potential to attract young customers with purchasing power, being evidenced by demographic analysis, they all are setting forth the reason for cautious optimism. Such future prospects in the Baltic Real Estate market are seen by the project developers who gathered for the first Baltic Real Estate Development Forum held in Riga, on 29 September 2015. The Forum was organized by the Latvian Real Estate Association LANIDA, Lithuanian Real Estate Development Association LNTPA and the International Real Estate Federation Baltic Multinational chapter FIABCI Baltic in collaboration with Nordea Bank support. The Tallink Hotel Riga housed, on its premises, the real estate (RE) professionals from the three Baltic countries for the first Development Forum to discuss the issues affecting the sector. The Forum had the opportunity to meet in one place and explore the experience of the three Baltic countries as well as high-caliber foreign experts, successful and influential investors, RE developers and economists as well as to establish contacts to develop joint projects in the future. Upon opening the Forum, Antonio Campagnoli, FIABCI Regional President for Europe & Near East wished the developers to think broadly and to do routine things differently. He also mentioned the tendency that, in addition to bank funding, still more important alternative investment instruments of RE development and investment became, as an example citing recently invested 2 billion euros, so- called crowdfunding.

The T broad theme of the summit was advancing partnership and growth in the Baltic Sea Region, and the concept of partnership was clearly embraced by the more than 250 participants who spent three sunny spring days in Copenhagen building networks across borders. There are already numerous ties between businesses and organisations in the region. However, most of them lie within close-knit circles of specific industries or political fields. The Baltic Development Forum summit was the first opportunity for intense cross-sector networking between Baltic Sea executives. 32 speakers provided an educating and entertaining background for the discussions, covering such diverse topics as stability, management, investment, culture and identity, energy and IT/telecom. This report summarises and puts into perspective the discussions and messages brought forth at the Baltic Development Forum summit, as seen by the secretariat and the respective rapporteurs on each of the summit's themes. NATO and EU enlargement the ball is rolling he accession of the Baltic states and Poland to the European Union and NATO is a recurring theme in every discussion of the Baltic Sea Region, underlining that the security situation in the region remains unresolved, T albeit much improved.

  • Building Counter-Terrorism Capacity Across Borders: Lessons from the Defeat of “Revolutionary Organization November 17Th”
    Published by: Cranfield Security Sector Management Team Cranfield University Shrivenham, UK ISSN 1740-2425 Volume 6 Number 2 – July 2008 Building Counter-Terrorism Capacity Across Borders: Lessons from the Defeat of “Revolutionary Organization November 17th” Christos Floros & Bruce Newsome Abstract Since 2001, governments have made more resources available for building counter-terrorist capacity abroad, but performance has not matched the rhetoric. Lessons from the defeat of the November 17th terrorist organization in Greece suggest that political or material commitments are necessary but insufficient conditions of international counter-terrorist capacity-building. More important, but less acknowledged, are the organizational conditions. Governments should encourage more cooperative, less self-reliant cultures in their agencies, develop multi-laterally beneficial objectives, and prohibit activities unauthorised by the host country. Some of the lessons, such as adherence to the same rules of law by all stakeholders, confirm norms in security sector reform. Others, such as increased security sector powers, run counter to those norms. http://www.jofssm.org/issues/jofssm_0602_Floros&Newsome.doc Christos Floros & Bruce Newsome/ Building Counter-Terrorism Capacity Across Borders: Lessons from the Defeat of “Revolutionary Organization November 17th” Introduction Counter-terrorist capacity is an increasingly important part of the security sector. Governments have made more resources available for building counter-terrorist capacity abroad since the Jihadist attacks on the United States of 11 September 2001 (9/11), but performance has not matched the rhetoric. Why does international counter-terrorist capacity-building succeed or fail? Few terrorist organizations are ever unambiguously defeated. The “Revolutionary Organisation November 17” (henceforth 17N) is one of the few.
