Onderwerp: Elektrificatie Maaslijn (Nijmegen-Roermond V.V.) Aan: het College van Gedeputeerde Staten van de provincie Limburg CC: de Staten van de provincie Limburg de Staten van de provincie Noord-Brabant de Staten van de provincie Gelderland de Raad van de Stadsregio Arnhem Nijmegen Arnhem, vrijdag 1 augustus 2014 Onderwerp: Elektrificatie Maaslijn (Nijmegen-Roermond v.v.) Geacht College, Grenzen mogen verbindingen niet tegengaan. Nieuw Leefbaar Gelderland is zeer blij dat uw provincie samen met de provincie Noord-Brabant en onze provincie wil inzetten op de elektrificatie van de spoorverbinding Nijmegen-Roermond v.v.. Wij willen graag aangeven dat wij van mening zijn dat openbaar vervoer adequaat, betrouwbaar en comfortabel moet zijn. Bij comfort willen wij ook de snelheid van het vervoer als punt benoemen. Door de elektrificatie van deze verbinding zal er veel rijtijd bespaard worden. Dat past in een nieuw leefbaar Gelderland, en zeker ook in een leefbaar Limburg! Daarom wil ik graag deze steun uitspreken. Wob-verzoek Graag vraag ik bij uw College afschriften van alle documentatie w.o. alle ontvangen adhesiebetuigingen voor deze elektrificatie op. Met vriendelijke groeten, Namens nieuw Leefbaar Gelderland, Ramon Barends nieuw Leefbaar Gelderland is een onafhankelijke provinciale politieke groepering. nieuw Leefbaar Gelderland • Postbus 60051 • 6800 JB • Arnhem • KvK Arnhem 56961642 Verslag Provinciale Statenvergadering 23 april 2014 Vragenuur Maaslijn Dhr. Saes (D66) Al enige weken is er in toenemende mate sprake van concrete plannen voor de elektrificatie van de Maaslijn. De provincie Limburg heeft aangegeven dat ze bereid is financieel bij te dragen aan het project, evenals de provincie Brabant. Ook is aan de Stadsregio Arnhem-Nijmegen en aan de provincie Gelderland gevraagd of zij bereid is financieel bij te dragen. Mede omdat er nog geen zicht was op een bijdrage van het Rijk, heeft de provincie tot nu toe nog geen toezegging gedaan om bij te dragen. Echter, nu is gebleken dat het Rijk van plan is een bijdrage te leveren, verandert de situatie. Omdat de provincie Limburg bezig is met de concessieverlening van het railnetwerk en daarom zo spoedig mogelijk antwoord wil van alle betrokkenen, komt D66 tot de volgende vragen. 1. Is GS op de hoogte van het voornemen van het Rijk om financieel bij te dragen aan de elektrificatie van de Maaslijn en is dit voor GS reden om een financiële bijdrage te overwegen? 2. Is GS bereid de samenwerking op te zoeken met de provincies Limburg en Brabant en het Rijk om te kijken op welke manier er zo snel mogelijk duidelijkheid komt over de elektrificatie. 3. Is GS bereid de Staten hiervan op de hoogte te houden? Mw. Bieze (GS) GS zijn op de hoogte. Er is door het ministerie een onderzoek uitgevoerd naar de kosten en baten van elektrificatie van alle lijnen. De resultaten van dit onderzoek worden voor de zomer gepresenteerd. De bedoeling is dat we dan de resultaten van het onderzoek bespreken met de staatssecretaris. Vorige week heeft de staatssecretaris inderdaad tijdens de bespreking van de lange termijn spooragenda toegezegd een financiële bijdrage te leveren. Hier zijn GS blij mee, maar de hoogte van de bijdrage van het Rijk is nog niet bekend. De provincie Limburg heeft aan Gelderland een bijdrage van om en nabij de € 15 miljoen gevraagd. Dit staat nu nog niet in onze investeringsagenda. We moeten dit ook bezien in het licht van andere wensen en voorzieningen, bijvoorbeeld de frequentieverhoging van de Valleilijn en de toiletten in de trein. De samenwerking met de provincie Limburg en het Rijk is er al. Gedeputeerde mist de Stadsregio in deze vragen. De Stadsregio is op dit moment het bevoegd gezag over het noordelijk deel van de Maaslijn. De gedeputeerde geeft aan PS op de hoogte te houden.

INTRODUCTION At its fortieth session, the UN/ECE Working Party on Inland Water Transport (SC.3) agreed to proceed with the drafting of the so-called "blue book" which would contain technical characteristics of European inland waterways and ports of international importance (E waterways and ports) identified in the European Agreement on Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (AGN). The objective of this publication is to establish an inventory of existing and envisaged standards and parameters of E waterways and ports in Europe and to show, on an internationally comparable basis, the current inland navigation infrastructure parameters in Europe as compared to the minimum standards and parameters prescribed in the AGN Agreement. This would enable member Governments and intergovernmental organizations concerned to use the “Blue book” as a basic instrument for monitoring the progress made in the implementation of the AGN.

  • The Path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR for More Than 600 Years, a Unique Network HANSA of Merchants Existed in Northern Europe
    The path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR For more than 600 years, a unique network HANSA of merchants existed in Northern Europe. The cooperation of this consortium of merchants for the promotion of their foreign trade gave rise to an association of cities, to which around 200 coastal and inland cities belonged in the course of time. The Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages These cities were located in an area that today encom- passes seven European countries: from the Dutch Zui- derzee in the west to Baltic Estonia in the east, and from Sweden‘s Visby / Gotland in the north to the Cologne- Erfurt-Wroclaw-Krakow perimeter in the south. From this base, the Hanseatic traders developed a strong economic in uence, which during the 16th century extended from Portugal to Russia and from Scandinavia to Italy, an area that now includes 20 European states. Honest merchants – Fair Trade? Merchants, who often shared family ties to each other, were not always fair to producers and craftsmen. There is ample evidence of routine fraud and young traders in far- ung posts who led dissolute lives. It has also been proven that slave labor was used. ̇ ̆ Trading was conducted with goods that were typically regional, and sometimes with luxury goods: for example, wax and furs from Novgorod, cloth, silver, metal goods, salt, herrings and Chronology: grain from Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck, Münster or Dortmund 12th–14th Century - “Kaufmannshanse”. Establishment of Hanseatic trading posts (Hanseatic kontors) with common privi- leges for Low German merchants 14th–17th Century - “Städtehanse”.

Its contributors have all been variously embedded in the cultural, intellectual and political life of the city over many years: they know of what they speak. Freedom—unlike poetry and prose—does not just happen anywhere. Indeed, it is the case that, although men may be born free, they are too often in chains. Freedom has to be won, sustained and protected. It is always at risk, the fact as well as the word. The argument of this irresistible volume is that, as a city and area, Hull has a proud and distinctive history of resisting forms of oppression, of using an angular independence of thought to challenge the orthodox and of fghting for principles and practical change. Why should this be so? The introduction suggests that it may have had something to do with Hull’s relative isolation and the space it affords for thought.

  • Assessing Damage for Herkenbosch, the Netherlands, Due to The
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 14, © 1995 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Assessing damage for Herkenbosch, The Netherlands, due to the Roermond earthquake of April 13, 1992 P.M. Maurenbrecher, G. de Vries Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering, University of 2629 Abstract During the April 13 1992 Roermond earthquake the town of Herkenbosch suffered extensive damage. To examine the extent of the damage a door to door enquiry survey was carried out. 75% of the households replied to the survey, which is based on "yes" or "no" replies to questions on the residents' experience during the earthquake, the damage to their homes and other observations. The replies were entered into a database. Examples of selected replies are given to show their geographical distribution. The study requires further input data to enable more effective use of the information. To facilitate this, the present database is structured in a way that further information can be easily added; for example reports from the Rampenfonds (Disaster Fund) survey, municipality information on house lay-outs and building details, and ground conditions. With sufficient data the survey should indicate which house styles or building methods are vulnerable to earthquake damage and identify those factors which influence such damage. 1. Introduction Subsequent to earthquakes two types of damage survey are normally carried out; one for reparations and one for research. In the Netherlands several surveys were executed soon after the Roermond earthquake; one for the Disaster Fund and a macroseismic KNMI survey *\ In addition an earthquake survey team from the UK visited Heinsberg in Germany and Roermond in the Netherlands^.

  • The Birth of an Empire of Two Churches : Church Property
    The Birth of an Empire of Two Churches: Church Property, Theologians, and the League of Schmalkalden CHRISTOPHER OCKER ID THE CREATION OF PROTESTANT CHURCHES IN GERMANY during Luther’s generation follow someone’s intentions? Heiko Oberman, appealing to a medieval DLuther, portrays the reformer as herald of a dawning apocalypse, a monk at war with the devil, who expected God to judge the world and rescue Christians with no help from human institutions, abilities, and processes.1 This Luther could not have intended the creation of a new church. Dorothea Wendebourg and Hans-Jürgen Goertz stress the diversity of early evangelical movements. Goertz argues that anticlericalism helped the early Reformation’s gamut of spiritual, political, economic, and social trends to coalesce into moderate and radical groups, whereas Wendebourg suggests that the movements were only united in the judgment of the Counter Reformation.2 Many scholars concede this diversity. “There were very many different Reformations,” Diarmaid McCulloch has recently observed, aimed “at recreating authentic Catholic Christianity.”3 But some intention to form a new church existed, even if the intention was indirect. Scholars have identified the princely reaction to the revolting peasants of 1524–1525 as the first impetus toward political and institutional Protestantism.4 There was a 1Heiko A.
