What future for cetacean bycatch in European waters? Views on the current legislative process to revise & update EU bycatch measures and suggested solutions to reduce bycatch Dolman, S.J.1, Baulch, S.2, Evans, P.G.H.3, Read, F.L.1 and Swabe, J.5 1 Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Brookfield House, 38 St Paul Street, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN15 1LJ, UK contact: [email protected] 2 Environmental Investigation Agency, 62-63 Upper St, London N1 0NY, UK 3 Bangor University, Bangor LL57 2DG, UK 5 Humane Society International/ Europe, Avenue des Arts 50, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium Background For decades, cetacean bycatch has been a major conservation and welfare concern in the European Union with high numbers of harbour porpoises, dolphins and whales dying each year (see Table 1). Despite binding legal requirements to monitor and reduce bycatch, cetacean bycatch monitoring has been insufficient in most fisheries and areas (ICES, 2011; Northridge, 2011; Desportes, 2014; ICES, 2016; Read et al., 2017), and has thus often impeded the application of effective mitigation.

NOTE: External links to other Internet sites should not be co endorsement of the views contained therein. U.S. Department of State Spain Country Report on Human Rights Practices for 1997 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, January 30, 1998. SPAIN Spain is a democracy with a constitutional monarch. The Parliament consists of two chambers, the Congress of Deputies and the Senate. President Jose Maria Aznar of the Popular Party (PP) was elected in 1996. The Government respects the constitutional provisions for an independent judiciary in practice. Spain has three levels of security forces. The National Police are responsible for nationwide investigations, security in urban areas, traffic control, and hostage rescue. The Civil Guard polices rural areas and controls borders and highways. Autonomous police forces have taken over many of the duties of the Civil Guard in Galicia, Catalonia, and the Basque country. The security forces are under the effective control of the Government. The security forces also maintain anticorruption units. An adviser for human rights in the Ministry of Justice is charged with promoting humanitarian law and training senior law enforcement groups in human rights practices. Some members of the security forces committed human rights abuses. The economy is market based, with primary reliance on private initiative, although a number of public sector enterprises remain in key areas.

  • Central European University Department of Political Science a LONG-TERM TERRORIST CAMPAIGN and POLITICAL DISCOURSE
    Central European University Department of Political Science A LONG-TERM TERRORIST CAMPAIGN AND POLITICAL DISCOURSE: THE ROLE OF ETA IN SPANISH POLITICS By Asta Maskalinjnaitơ A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Carol Harrington CEU eTD Collection Budapest, June 2007 I hereby declare that this work contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. This thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, unless otherwise noted. CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The attacks of September 11, 2001 on the United States gave a renewed impetus for the development of the studies of terrorism. These new studies, however, tend to focus exclusively on the Al Qaeda-type Islamic terrorism and forget that there are numerous historical cases of terrorism that are enlightening when we try to understand the phenomenon. In addition, the studies both before and after the September 11 attacks tend to leave aside one important element of terrorism, i.e. its political nature, or, more precisely, the impact it has on the politics of the country (or region, or the entire world). The objective of this thesis is to assess how the presence of a terrorist group influences the the political life of the country and the discourse of the country’s main political actors. For the purposes of this thesis, the case of Spain in its fight against the Basque separatist group ETA is taken as a situation to examine. The analysis is based on two assumptions which guide the outlook of the work: first, that we cannot assess the impact of terrorism on the political system without analyzing the discourse of the political actors and, second, that the discourse on terrorism is not created in a vacuum, but builds on the discursive elements that are present in the historical discourse of the country (culture, civilization), and, through the combination of these elements, allows us to understand the terrorist violence and provide it with meaning.
