Italy offers €2 million for new air monitoring stations in Tbilisi The government of Italy has allocated €2 million to help Georgia purchase new stations to monitor atmospheric air quality and to study the risks of natural threats in the capital city of Tbilisi, announces the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture of Georgia.

Cyprus became an EU-member state in 2004 on the condition that the EU law is suspended in areas where the Cypriot government (Government of the Republic) does not exercise effective control. ―Georgia meets almost all the criteria for NATO membership. The only obstacle on the way are the occupied regions of Georgia [Abkhazia and Tskhinvali],‖ Rasmussen told the Georgian Public Broadcaster (1TV.ge, April 11, 2019). 4. Georgia to join NATO Multinational Military Police Battalion Starting from 2020 Georgia will join the NATO Multinational Military Policy Battalion, composed of military police units of Croatia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. The Battalion, or its elements, were allowed to be deployed from 2013 to any area of NATO operations where the need arises for coordinated multi-national police activities.

European sports policies of the past decade are characterised by numerous activities and by on-going differentiation. Against this backdrop, the study presents policy options in four key areas: the first covers the need for stronger coordination; the second aims at the setting of thematic priorities; the third addresses the reinforcement of the role of the EP in sport and the fourth stipulates enhanced monitoring.

  • El Turisme Farmacèutic Al Pirineu
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Revistes Catalanes amb Accés Obert El turismE farmacèutic al PirinEu Àngels Mach i Buch Resum Societat Andorrana de A partir dels anys seixanta del segle xx el boom del comerç d’Andorra no es va limitar al niló o al Ciències Duralex, sinó que, a banda de les cures amb aigua termal que s’hi podien realitzar, també oferia als turistes productes farmacèutics diferents, introbables en el seu lloc de residència habitual. Andorra no produeix productes farmacèutics, no té cap indústria farmacèutica pròpia ubicada dins les seves fronteres; sempre ha hagut d’importar els medicaments que calia per a la seva població i també per a les necessitats dels turistes de visita al país. Els habitants del Principat d’Andorra s’havien de proveir als establiments farmacèutics de la Seu d’Urgell o bé quan anaven a les fires de bestiar a Puigcerdà, Organyà, Salàs de Pallars, Tarascó o Ax-les-Thermes fins al 1891, quan el farmacèutic de Llívia Miquel Mitjavila es va instal·lar al país a petició del Consell General. El Principat d’Andorra, per la seva condició fronterera, ha importat els medicaments habitualment de França i d’Espanya, però, atès que no tenia fabricació pròpia, les autoritats van optar per acceptar la importació dels productes farmacèutics sempre que fossin autoritzats al país d’origen, obrint la possibilitat d’importar també d’altres països de la Unió Europea, Amèrica o Àsia. Per aquesta raó ha estat habitual que els turistes espanyols aprofitessin els viatges a Andorra també per adquirir productes farmacèutics o de dermofarmàcia francesos i, a la inversa, els turistes france- sos per adquirir medicaments espanyols, ja que ni els uns ni els altres no podien trobar-los als seus països respectius; i tots dos en el cas de medicaments no autoritzats a la Unió Europea provinents d’altres llocs.
