We pride ourselves on providing high-quality services to our members and non-members in Greece and the Arab world. Our main focus in this year’s Iraqi-European Forum is on the reconstruction of Iraq, an issue that has taken significant dimensions and importance from the side of the Iraqi Government and has been met with enthusiastic response from more than 85 Harris Geronikolas countries, with the participation of major international and regional organizations, President among which is also the World Bank. The reconstruction of Iraq represents yet another opportunity to be seriously considered by the Greek businessmen who can get engaged in exploring the potential of this plan and enter into partnerships with the Iraqi businesses. Considering the number and high-calibre of Iraqi participants, we are calling upon the Greek businesses to join us in this initiative and take part and benefit from the direct B2B meetings organized during this event in all business sectors. On another note, our Chamber’s flagship annual event, the “7th Arab-Hellenic Economic Forum”, which will be convened on 29-30 November 2018 under the title “Greece and the Arab World: A New Agenda for Growth”, will be presented this year in a new and innovative format, in terms of topics and partnerships. Some of these topics are maritime and port industries, for which we will be joining hands with professional maritime societies from Greece and the Arab world. The other key topic Rashad Mabger of the forum will be entrepreneurship and start-up businesses, an issue that can be Secretary General looked upon in terms of its success and potential of creating partnerships between Greek and Arab entrepreneurs in various business fields. These two main issues will be the focal points of the Forum, having construction, engineering, building material and food-processing industry sectors also analysed and promoted as they reflect the strength of both sides and present opportunities for joint ventures and partnerships. We are looking forward to a selective and diversified participation of businessmen from the Arab world. We are currently bracing ourselves for a series of selective events and activities marking the 40th anniversary since the establishment of the Arab-Hellenic Chamber. With four decades of serving the Arab – Hellenic relations in all business levels, our Chamber has gained the respect and trust of the Greek and Arab business communities and we are looking forward to continue providing our level-best of services to our members and non-members alike. In the meantime, we wish our participants in the 3rd Iraqi – European Forum every www.arabhellenicchamber.gr success in their meetings and networking and hope that the presentations will prove useful for their businesses and future endeavours. 2 4 3 forum_katalogos_1-60.indd 4 4/10/2016 6:27:14 PM rd 3rd3 Iraqi Iraqi – – European European BusinessBusiness & &Investment Investment Forum Forum “Iraq“Iraq & &Europe: Europe: TowardsTowards a New a NewEra” Era” Athens, 11-12 July 2018 Athens, 11-12 July 2018 Under the auspices Partner and Main Sponsor: With Contribution and Support by: General Outlook Outlook: Building on the success ofof the twotwo previousprevious events,events, the the Arab-Hellenic Arab-Hellenic Chamber Chamber is isconvening convening of of the "3therd "3Annualrd Annual Iraqi- IraqiEuropean-European Business Business and I andnvestment Investment Forum" Forum" on 11-12 on 11 July-12 2018 July 2018in Athens, in Athens, Greece, inGreece cooperation, in cooperation with Baghdad with ChamberBaghdad ofChamber Commerce. of Commerce.

  • The Athens Earthquake (7 September 1999): Intensity Distribution and Controlling Factors
    Engineering Geology 59 (2001) 297±311 www.elsevier.nl/locate/enggeo The Athens earthquake (7 September 1999): intensity distribution and controlling factors E. Lekkas* Department of Geology, University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli Zografou, 15784 Athens, Greece Received 20 June 2000; accepted for publication 14 December 2000 Abstract The Athens earthquake, Ms 5:9, that occurred on 7th September 1999 with epicenter located at the southern ¯ank of Mount Parnitha (Greece, Attiki) according to instrumental data, is attributed to the reactivation of an ESE±WNW south- dipping fault without sur®cial expression. The earthquake caused a large number of casualties and extensive damage within an extended area. Damage displayed signi®cant differentiation from place to place, as well as a peculiar geographic distribution. Based on geological, tectonic and morphological characteristics of the affected area and on the elaboration of damage recordings for intensity evaluation, it can be safely suggested that intensity distribution was the result of the combination of a number of parameters both on macro and microscale. On the macroscale, the parameters are the strike of the seismogenic fault, seismic wave directivity effects and to an old NNE±SSW tectonic structure, and they are also responsible for the maximum intensity arrangement in two perpendicular directions ESE±WNW and NNE±SSW. On the microscale, site foundation formations, old tectonic structures buried under recent formations and morphology are the parameters that differentiated intensities within the affected area. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

    14 December, ATHENS: EARTHQUAKE 2000 appeal no. 22/99 situation report no. 4 (Final) period covered: September - December 1999 During this emergency, the National Society’s long experience of responding to earthquakes once again proved invaluable, as demonstrated by its quick reaction in the wake of the disaster, including search and rescue and the distribution of relief items and hot meals, and the role assigned by the Greek government to implement all relief activities. The readiness of the Hellenic Red Cross, the immediate response of the International Federation and its member National Societies, and the support from the Greek government made this operation a success. The context A strong earthquake struck the Greek capital Athens at 14:56 local time on Tuesday, 7 September 1999, measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale, lasting several seconds and bringing death, injury and destruction in its wake. The tremor was felt as far away as Corinth, 100 km south of the city and aftershocks continued for over a month after the main quake. The major impact of the earthquake was in the north-western municipalities of Athens. According to official figures, 138 people were killed, 85 individuals were rescued, 30,000 were left unemployed and 13,000 families were officially listed as the most vulnerable. The total number of people affected was 100,000. The official estimate of people left homeless is 70,000. The effects on infrastructure have been widespread: 7,746 buildings were heavily damaged (currently under demolition), 29,931 were partly damaged (currently under repair) and 36 collapsed. Several schools and four industrial plants were totally destroyed and hundreds of small businesses damaged.

  • Water Origin of the Kokkino Stefani Spring
    Preliminary flood hazard and risk assessment in Western Athens metropolitan area M. Diakakis(1), M. Foumelis (2), L. Gouliotis (1), E. Lekkas(1) (1) Department of Dynamics Tectonics and Applied Geology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panepistimioupoli-Zografou, GR 157 84, Greece, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] (2) Department of Geography, Harokopio University of Athens, Athens, GR 176 71, Greece, [email protected] Abstract The increase in urban population and the continuous pressure for cities' expansion along with the increase in urban flooding phenomena in Greece and worldwide, stress the need for enhancement of flood risk mitigation efforts. West Athens urban area, in Greece, experienced a significant population clustering since the 1950s leading, in some occasions, to a poorly-planned development, even in areas with imminent flood risk. An issue becomes apparent, taking into account the rich flooding record, the extended damages in property and infrastructure and the 76 flood victims during the last century in the area. In this work, flood hazard is assessed in 10 municipalities of West Athens, with the application of a GIS- based methodology that exploits catchment morphometric characteristics to de- lineate flood hazard zones. Historical flood events are reconstructed to provide better understanding of the flooding problem in the area. Finally flood hazard was studied in conjunction with vulnerability to estimate flood risk spatial distribution. The results showed that areas around Fleva and Eschatia torrent, especially Mpournazi, parts of Ilion and Kamatero and some parts of Peristeri presented the highest flood hazard and risk values. Additionally, moderate flood risk appeared in several mountain torrents in west parts of Petroupoli and Peristeri.

  • Implications of Expected Climatic Changes on the Island of Rhodes
    UNEP(OCA)/MED WG.46/4 16 March 1992 Original: ENGLISH MEDITERRANEAN ACTION PLAN Fourth Meeting of the Task Team on Climatic Changes on the Island of Rhodes Athens, 30-31 March 1992 IMPLICATIONS OF EXPECTED CLIMATIC CHANGES ON THE ISLAND OF RHODES HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES OF THE ISLAND OF RHODES by M.C. ALEXIADOU F I R S T D R A F T N O T T O B E C I T E D UNEP Athens, 1992 UNEP(OCA)/MED WG.46/4 page 1 2.3. HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES OF THE ISLAND OF RHODES 1. Introduction In the last few years the need of rational management of the aqueus potential and of new water resources exploration in Rhodes island has become necessary because of: - the continuous growth of island's permanent population, - the huge development of tourism, and - the continuous increase in water needs per habitant. The problem of water supply has become particularly acute during the last two years which has been characterised as dry. According to 1987 estimates the total annual consumption in water has risen to 30 Mm3. It should be noted that a great part of the total water quantity (approx. 67% to 70%) is consumed mainly for water-supply and irrigation purposes at the northern part of the island, where development and economic activities are most intensive (triangle between Rhodes city - Fanes - Kolimpia). The use of the total annual water consumption is 17 Mm3 for water-supply and 13 Mm3/year for irrigation. Part of the consumption is also used to cover the needs of nearby islands which belong to its district i.e.
