  • Anticorruption Policy in Croatia: Benchmark for Eu
    1 Damir Grubiša Anti-Corruption Policy in Croatia: a Benchmark for EU Accession In 1998, the European Commission concluded in its evaluation of the central and east European countries' requests for EU membership in the context of the preparation for Agenda 2000 that the fight against political corruption in these countries needed to be upgraded. The Commission's report on the progress of each candidate country can be summed up as follows: "The efforts undertaken by candidate countries are not always adequate to the entity of the problem itself. Although some of these countries initiate new programmes for the control and prevention of corruption, it is too early for a judgment on the efficiency of such measures. A lack of determination can be seen in confronting this problem and in rooting out corruption in the greatest part of the candidate countries". Similar evaluations were repeated in subsequent reports on the progress of candidate countries from central and east Europe. Accordingly, it was concluded in 2001 that political corruption is a serious problem in five out of ten countries of that region: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, and a constant problem in three more countries: Hungary, Lithuania and Latvia. The Commission refrained from expressing critical remarks only in the case of two countries – Estonia and Slovenia. Up to 2002, only eight out of fifteen member states ratified the basic instrument that the EU had adopted against corruption, namely the EU Convention on the Safeguarding of Economic Interests of the European Communities. Some of the founding members of the European Community were rated as countries with a "high level of corruption" – Germany, France and, specifically, Italy.

  • Chairman Letter
    Chairman Letter Dear Shareholders of AirMedia, In 2018, the Board made a number of decisions to realign our business by focusing our crucial resources on the further development of the in-flight connectivity business. On the one hand, the management had redefined our core competence and focused on enhancing our efforts on in-flight entertainment, interactive contents, and advertisements. On the other hand, the management had explored innovative business models taking advantage of the thriving potentials of our strategic collaborations with Eutelsat Communications and China Unicom on satellite communication link and license. Established in 2017, UnicomAirNet Co. Ltd. (the “UnicomAirNet”) is a joint venture of China Unicom and AirMedia and licensed to provide its corporate customers with satellite communication links. Devoted to becoming a leading provider of technological solutions and value-added services of in-flight connectivity, UnicomAirNet is combining satellites and land-based beacons to provide a global communication network serving the demands of connectivity raised from aviation in the air . Starting from the second half of 2018, UnicomAirNet has been providing in-flight connectivity service to 7 wide-body aircrafts operated by China Eastern Airlines and testing service to 4 aircrafts operated by China Southern Airlines, respectively. While enhancing localization of technical solutions to satellite-and-ground connectivity, UnicomAirNet is stepping up the connectivity services tailored to accommodate the clients’ need in China.
