  • Security of Supply Statements of the Republic of Moldova
    Security of Supply Statements of the Republic of Moldova Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Moldova Chisinau, 2013 Security of Supply Statements of the Republic of Moldova FOREWORD The subject of Security of Supply (SoS) Statements for 2013 is the first SoS that the Ministry of Economy (MoE) of the Republic of Moldova (RoM) is submitting to the Energy Community (EnC) Secretariat.1 ‘Security of supply’ means the ability of an energy (electricity, gas and oil) system to supply final customers with respective (network) energy, as provided for under respective EU directives addressing the SoS issue. The satisfactory SoS can be reduced to the unsatisfactory level due to several possible reasons: non-existence and/or reduced availability of indigenous energy resources; operational constrains of various nature (technical an non-technical) in the production / transport / supply chain; import inadequacy (single source and/or supply routes) or due to insufficient interconnections and non- existence of contingency plans in critical situations etc., however, which cannot be regarded as force majeure. Inadequate legal / regulatory and institutional / organisational and contractual arrangements may impose additional risks to the SoS. On the other hand, proper planning and implementation of investments projects and other measures can significantly improve the SoS in the RoM, by establishing (i) an adequate level of generation capacity, (ii) an adequate balance between supply and demand, and (iii) c) an appropriate level of interconnections between the EU member states and Contracting Parties (CP) to the Energy Community Treaty (ECT), in our case Romania and Ukraine. However, as each country’s energy systems have their own characteristics, the SoS in the RoM has to be observed with the country’s own conditions and peculiarities.

  • Searching for Our Jewish Roots in Vienna, Moldova, and Odessa by Michael and Andrea Burke January, 2013
    Searching For Our Jewish Roots in Vienna, Moldova, and Odessa by Michael and Andrea Burke January, 2013 In late September and October 2012 my wife, Andrea, and I traveled through Eastern Europe and Turkey. The primary purpose of the trip was to research my family background, primarily my father's roots in the former Bessarabia, which currently is roughly contained by the borders of Moldova. The original impetus for this trip was a photograph, taken in about 1937, of my father standing in front of a mosque. My father served with the American Lincoln Brigade, fighting against the fascists in the Spanish Civil War, so I had originally thought the mosque was somewhere in Spain. When my youngest daughter was in the eighth grade in 2005 she worked on an assignment called Peopling the Nation in which each student chose a relative and researched this person's role in American history. Madeleine's study focused on my father. We searched the Internet for photographs of Spanish mosques, hoping to find the location of the photograph. We were eventually able to pinpoint the location, not in Spain but in Istanbul: it was the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (also known as the Blue Mosque). Whether at that moment or shortly thereafter, I promised myself I would make the journey to Istanbul and stand in my father's footsteps. Our original itinerary had us traveling to Istanbul and then heading north and west through Eastern Europe. From stories I remembered my father telling, I surmised he had been in Istanbul when he traveled through Europe raising funds to fight Franco.
