Prior Compliance List of Aircraft Operators Specifying the Administering Member State for Each Aircraft Operator – June 2014
Prior compliance list of aircraft operators specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator – June 2014 Inclusion in the prior compliance list allows aircraft operators to know which Member State will most likely be attributed to them as their administering Member State so they can get in contact with the competent authority of that Member State to discuss the requirements and the next steps. Due to a number of reasons, and especially because a number of aircraft operators use services of management companies, some of those operators have not been identified in the latest update of the EEA- wide list of aircraft operators adopted on 5 February 2014.

Contingency Routes: Somali Financial Flows and Transnational
Contingency Routes: Somali Financial Flows and Transnational Spaces between Kenya and Uganda Researcher: Gianluca Iazzolino Introduction Since the collapse of the Somali state in 1991, the Somali diaspora has been forced to navigate a very volatile landscape. Neighbouring countries in East Africa, particularly Kenya, have been prime recipients of waves of displaced persons from Somalia. Macro-level factors— such as the so-called War on Terror—have interacted with national refugee regimes and local dynamics of refugee camps and urban settings to shape refugee experiences. At the same time, refugees have not simply reacted to external circumstances, but have cultivated desires and life projects that are reflected in mobility patterns, vocational aspirations and in general decision- making processes. Financial arrangements play a crucial role in how Somali refugees are able to hedge against volatility. Established and more recent financial institutions—and particularly their interplay—allow the mobilization and accumulation of strategic resources through which Somalis foster physical and social mobility aspirations. Migration—a coping strategy deeply ingrained in Somali society and culture—is thus entwined with access to financial institutions. For this reason, a primary concern of my research is to flesh out the dynamics presiding over the interweaving of human and monetary flows. In so doing, it seeks to understand: What role do financial institutions play in the key decision-making processes in the case of the Somali diaspora? How is value stored, transferred, and enhanced amid a rapidly changing political scenario? And what is the logic underpinning the combination, or replacement, of long- standing and recent financial practices? 1 I investigate the relationship between financial practices, livelihoods, and mobility among members of the Somali diaspora in East Africa.
