DEPRAG has bran- ches in China, France, Scandinavia, the Czech Republic, the USA and the United Kingdom and sales offices in almost all industrial countries worldwide who provide distribution and customer service. 2 2. Air Preparation 2.1 Air Quality The quality of the compressed air is a cri- tical factor for the lifespan of an air tool. The integration of a water separator as well as a central air dryer protects not only the air system, but also the airtool from corrosion. The use of an air filter is just as important. Dirty air can block the vanes and damage the motor. In regard to air-quality according to ISO 8573-1, we recommend: Class Residue of Oil Content Residue of Dust Residue of Water particle pressure mg/m3 oz./cu.ft. size mm mg/m3 oz./cu.ft. dew-point °C g/m3 oz./cu.ft.

During 1955-56 it was noted that the foreign consulates which had previously existed in Tunisia had been raised to embassies or legations. During 1956-57 various countries which had not been represented in Tunisia under the protectorate established embassies or legations. These included Belgium, the German Federal Republic, Portugal, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, and Morocco. Tunisia added embassies in Italy, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and the German Federal Republic to those—in France, the United States, Great Britain, Egypt, Morocco, and Libya—which it had established before July 1956. After the suspension of French economic aid, discussed below, Tunisia sought to develop commercial agreements with other countries. An agreement with Yugoslavia was signed on June 19, 1957, and negotiations with Egypt, the Soviet Union, and Bulgaria were on the verge of producing agreements in the fall of 1957. At its session of July 26, 1956, the United Nations (UN) Security Council unanimously adopted a French motion proposing Tunisia's admission to the UN. This was also unanimously approved by the General Assembly in its session of November 12, 1956. Tunisia further consolidated her independence by establishing an army, securing the partial evacuation of French troops (still garrisoned in certain zones), and Tunisianizing the courts, the civil service, and the radio and television stations.

Candidates from the ruling partY, the Democratic Constitutional Rally (ReD), averaged-;bout 1.7 million votes. All of them were elected. Although none of the 353 opposition candidates were elected, the vote effectively endowed Tunisia with a two-party system plus an unusual twist: The second "party", the Islamic Fundamentalist Nahda or Renaissance:: Party, still remains to be recognized, and its religious nature poses a serious problem to the Tunisian self-image in the current context.

  • Contrasting Notions of History and Collective Memory
    1 2 3 4 Preface The “Transitional Justice Barometer” continues to support the process of transitional justice in Tunisia, through a research work that involves Tunisian experts from “Al-Kawakibi Democracy Transition Center”, and international experts from the “University of York” (England) and “Impunity Watch” (Netherlands). The Barometer, jointly with its partners, has chosen to focus this third study on “memorialization” and “collective memory”, being important elements in the process of transitional justice that the Tunisian experience has not addressed yet. The study is entitled “History and Collective Memory in Tunisia : Contrasted Notions. Teaching Recent History and the Figure of Bourguiba Today.” As part of this qualitative research, interviews were conducted with 45 experts and teachers of history and civic education in the Governorates of Sousse (Center-East) and Gafsa (Saouth-West). With this third study having been carried out, the six regions of the country are now covered by the Transitional Justice Barometer project. The study places special focus on Habib Bourguiba, a pivotal figure in the modern history of Tunisia. It examines the textbooks used in the teaching of history and assesses their impact on collective memory. The study ends with a number of conclusions and recommendations that seek to contribute to the reform of the teaching of history and civic education, supposed to be one of the outputs of the transitional justice process. To conclude, the “Transitional Justice Barometer” wishes to thank all the interviewed teachers and experts for having contributed to the success of this research work. On its part, “Al-Kawakibi Democracy Transition Center” wishes to thank its partners, the “University of York” and “Impunity Watch”, for the valuable expertise they have transferred to Tunisian researchers.
