AGENDA ITEM 2: Adoption of Agenda The Agenda of the Meeting was approved without comment. AGENDA ITEM 3: Horizon 2020 State of Play Mr. Andrew Murphy, DG ENV, presented the Horizon 2020 State of play. He informed the Group that the thematic dimension of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) was to be strengthened through bilateral /multilateral dialogue and cooperation on key sectors such as environment, participation in EC programmes and agencies, and enhancement of regional cooperation with Euro-Med. The Commission has proposed creating a Neighbourhood Investment Fund (NIF) with € 700 million from the European Neighbourhood Policy Instrument (ENPI) and contributions from Member States to lever loan resources from European Development Banks (approximately 4 to 5 times more than the NIF). The published regional and national ENPI strategies include indicative programmes up to 2010. The bulk of assistance will lie in ENPI national programmes and therefore final allocations will need to be determined with partner countries. There will be other sources of assistance for example the Regional Indicative Programme allocates €33 million for the environment (9% of total) for the period 2007-2010. There is also a small ENP component of global thematic programme mainly for climate change and biodiversity.

  • Was Honoured to Be Invited by Oceania Athletics to Ho
    Oceania Moves Towards One Athletics Family Oceania Masters Athletics (OMA) was honoured to be invited by Oceania Athletics to hold the OMA Council and AGM in conjunction with Oceania Athletics Association’s (OAA) biennial Congress held at the Gold Coast on 6-8 February 2015. This first joint meeting provided many of our Pacific Island member federations the opportunity to attend the OMA AGM and learn more about masters athletics in the Oceania region. Similarly it gave OMA Council members the opportunity to interact with delegates from the Oceania member federations (including Australia and New Zealand) as well as a range of athletic and pacific games dignitaries. These included the IAAF Vice President, Lord Sebastian Coe, the IAAF Secretary General, Essar Gabriel, and a number of IAAF Council and IAAF Committee members as well as the 2014 IAAF Female Athlete of the Year, Valerie Adams. It became apparent during the Congress that the Oceania region although representing less than 1% of the world’s population was highly regarded because of the strength of its regional development. This particular Congress had a greater degree of importance, because later this year there will be an election of a new IAAF President – both Sebastian Coe and Sergey Bubka are standing for the IAAF Presidency. The Oceania region is important in these upcoming elections because each IAAF member federation has one vote - thus tiny nations such as Nauru and Palau have the same vote as China or the USA. Report from OAA President Geoff Gardiner In typical Pacific Island style the Congress was opened by a moving sporting prayer by the Fiji delegate.

Box 4162) Telephone: (03) 5224 2466 Fax: (03) 5224 2467 Email: [email protected] Web: www.caribou.net.au Bendigo Grand Prix/Victorian Open Road Cycling Championships November 8 ‐10, 2013 MEDIA RELEASE: Monday, November 4 TASSIE STAR SET TO TRIUMPH AT BENDIGO Tasmanian Mark Jamieson – whose trophy cabinet already glistens with gold, silver and bronze – is poised to build on his collection at the Victorian open road cycling championships in Bendigo this weekend. Jamieson, 29, will contest the time trial, road race and criterium at the three-day titles which incorporate the prestigious Bendigo Grand Prix, sponsored by Hume & Iser HoME Hardware and Andy’s Earthmovers. Based in Bendigo for the past 12 months, where he is undertaking an advanced diploma of building design, Jamieson as amassed an incredible record as a cyclist, especially on the track. He won the world junior individual pursuit championship in Melbourne in 2006, was a member of Australia’s gold medal-winning pursuit team at the world titles in Bordeaux, France, in 2006, and gained silver in the teams pursuit at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, also in 2006. An Olympic medal narrowly eluded him at the Beijing Games in 2008 when the Australian team of Jamieson, Bradley McGee, Jack Bobridge and Luke Roberts surprisingly lost the ride-off for third place against New Zealand. His victories also include nearly 20 gold medals in senior and junior competition at national track championships. Jamieson maintains his passion for cycling but, as he concentrates on full-time study at Bendigo TAFE, he is no longer pressured by the intensity of competing on the international stage.
