Con cierta urgencia porque ya acumula un mes de retraso, las Cortes tendrán que tramitar a lo largo de febrero el anteproyecto de Ley Orgánica en la lucha contra el dopaje, que moderniza el marco normativo existente. Además de sintonizar con el nuevo Código Mundial Antidopaje que entró en vigor el 1 de enero, España introducirá una serie de cambios, trasladando la materia de deporte-salud de nuevo al CSD, lo que provocará un cambio en la nomenclatura de la Agencia que pasa a denominarse Agencia Estatal y Comisión Española para la Lucha Antidopaje en el Deporte. Se crea dentro de ella, como novedad, un comité sancionador, independiente y de expertos, que ejercerá la función sancionadora -y de recursos- y que suplirá la función que cumplía el TAD. Será la última instancia nacional en vía administrativa. UNA DISTINCIÓN Con el objetivo de la proporcionalidad a la hora de sancionar, se reformulará la categorización de los deportistas federados que adaptará las sanciones a la realidad. Se distinguirán 3 niveles de deportistas: internacional, nacional y aficionado, que tendrán un castigo inferior al del deporte profesional.

  • Press Release (12/20/2005)
    PRESS RELEASE 7 March 2012 Vattenfall sponsors future Olympians In a unique collaboration, Vattenfall and the Swedish Olympic Committee (SOC) are working together to increase the number of medals in future Olympic Games. Today, Wednesday, Vattenfall and SOC presented the eight Olympic athletes and 33 promising talents who will be receiving sponsorship over the next few years. This is a unique partnership focusing on long- term commitment. “Our partnership unites the National Olympic Committees in all our core markets – Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands. Its starting-point is local collaboration in our core markets and it opens the way to a European platform,” says Elisabeth Ström, Head of Communications at Vattenfall. Vattenfall’s and SOC’s partnership includes Team Vattenfall which consists of eight athletes in winter and summer sports, and Olympic Talent Support Vattenfall, which supports 33 promising talents on their way to Olympic Games and World Cup medals. Thanks to Vattenfall’s sponsorship, young promising athletes are given the opportunity to devote themselves fully to their sport and develop into future Olympians. Two promising sportspeople – Johan Eurén, wrestling, and Therese Lundqvist, shooting – are included in the Vattenfall talent programme. Team Vattenfall includes Anette Norberg, curling, Anna Holmlund, ski cross, Frida Svensson, rowing, Rolf- Göran Bengtsson, equestrian, Fredrik Lööf, sailing, Lisa Nordén, triathlon, Charlotte Kalla, cross country skiing and André Myhrer, alpine skiing. “What Vattenfall is doing is unique. No other company has got involved in this type of partnership. It provides direct financial support to each individual, but also means a long-term investment, not just in established athletes, but also an investment in young talent that will win medals in future years,” says Stefan Lindeberg, SOC Chairman.

  • A Turbulent Year for Ukraine Urbulent Was the Way to Describe 2009 for Ukraine, Which Plunged Into Financial Crisis
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 2010 5 2009: THE YEAR IN REVIEW A turbulent year for Ukraine urbulent was the way to describe 2009 for Ukraine, which plunged into financial crisis. No other European country suffered as much as TUkraine, whose currency was devalued by more than 60 percent since its peak of 4.95 hrv per $1 in August 2008. In addition, the country’s industrial production fell by 31 percent in 2009. Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko con- fronted the challenge of minimizing the crisis fallout, while at the same time campaigning for the 2010 presi- dential elections. Her critics attacked her for pursuing populist policies, such as increasing wages and hiring more government staff, when the state treasury was broke as early as the spring. Ms. Tymoshenko herself admitted that her gov- ernment would not have been able to make all its pay- ments without the help of three tranches of loans, worth approximately $10.6 billion, provided by the International Monetary Fund. Her critics believe that instead of borrowing money, Ms. Tymoshenko should have been introducing radical reforms to the Ukrainian economy, reducing government waste, eliminating out- dated Soviet-era benefits and trimming the bureaucracy. The year began with what is becoming an annual tra- Offi cial Website of Ukraine’s President dition in Ukraine – a natural gas conflict provoked by the government of Russian Federation Prime Minister President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko at the heated February 10 meeting of Vladimir Putin.

  • Nordic Cooperation on Civil Security: the ‘Haga’ Process 2009-2014
    This study is the result of the fi rst detailed research project to 2009-2014 process The ‘Haga’ Security: onCivil Cooperation Nordic examine the progress of the ‘Haga’ non-military security coope- ration between the fi ve Nordic states since 2009. It reviews the history of Nordic cross-border cooperation on civil emergency preparedness and management, and discusses why Nordic Ministers chose to raise this work to high political level with a meeting at Haga (near Stockholm) in 2009. Since then, regular meetings at Ministerial and working levels have looked at a whole range of shared Nordic challenges, from search and rescue, to informing the public and the role of volunteers. They have sought cost-effective solutions for pooling Nordic resources and making their territories a truly ‘frontier-free’ area in this context. But what has actually been achieved? Based on extensive practitioner interviews, the two authors of this report stress the practical and political timeliness of ‘Haga’ cooperation, but also question whether it has yet become comprehensive and far-reaching enough to overcome the real obstacles existing even between close Nordic neighbours. They also assess the inter-relationship of Haga with EU efforts, Nordic-Baltic and Baltic regional relation- ships, and Arctic security-related cooperation in the relevant fi elds. This report is a joint publication by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and Centre for Small State Studies (CSSS) at the University of Iceland.

    Verksamhetsberättelse 2008‐2009 Ekonomisk redovisning 2008‐2009 Vision 2014 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Verksamhetsberättelse för Svenska Skidskytteförbundet Sidan 1 Verksamhetsberättelse 2008‐2009 Det gångna verksamhetsåret har lindrigt sagt varit omtumlande och framgångsrikt. Det som framför allt fastnat på näthinnan är de exempellösa sportsliga framgångarna. Sett över hela vår elitverksamhet torde det handla om det kanske bästa året någonsin. Helena Jonsson blev totalsegrere i världscupen och vann av bara farten sprint‐ och masstartcupen. Hon erövrade guld, silver och brons på VM. Anna Carin Olofsson Zidek gjorde stark comeback efter mammaledighet och de övriga damerna tog också steg framåt och det förde upp Sverige till andra plats i nationstävlingen. Herrarna saknade de absoluta toppnoteringarna men visade bra jämnhet. Carl Johan Bergman kom stabilt tillbaka efter en ögonoperation, Björn Ferry hade inget lyckat VM p.g.a av sjukdom men men noterade WC‐seger i Anterselva. David Ekholm, VM‐femma och starkt bidrag till VM‐silvret i mixstafett, Jörgen Brink, WC‐femma i Kanada samt unge Fredrik Lindströms fina debut, betydde att herrarna avancerade till fjärde plats i nationstävlingen. Mycket glädjande var även Ingela Anderssons seger i ungdoms‐OS. Alla framgångar har inte kommit av sig själva. Mycket arbete har nedlagts av de klubbar som fostrat dessa elitåkare och landslagsledningen har vidareutvecklat talangerna till internationell toppklass. Östersund genomförde en världscuptävling i december 2008 som arrangörsmässigt blev en stor framgång. Goda betyg fick också den IBU‐cup som genomfördes i Idre i november 2008 och de svenska mästerskapstävlingarna i Östersund i april 2009. Säsongens SWE‐cuptävlingar har arrangerats på ett i huvudsak bra sätt. För att ytterligare höja kvalitén på de nationella tävlingarna genomförs en arrangörsutbildning i anslutning till skidskytteting och årsmöte.
