    RÍKISLÖGREGLUSTJÓRINN ALMANNAVARNADEILD Applies to: Media, Department of Civil Protection and Emergency, Management, administration and Chief Epidemiologist STATUS REPORT Date: 06.03.2020 Time: 17:30 Location: Coordination center /Directorate of Health /Chief Epidemiologist Emergency/Distress Phase: COVID-19 Event description Today 6 individuals have been diagnosed with COVID-19. The pathway of infection is being traced. 43 cases have been confirmed in Iceland of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. All are in isolation. The first cases of community transmission within Iceland were diagnosed today. All are in relatively good health. They were infected after being exposed to persons coming from Italy and Austria. As a result, The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Chief Epidemiologist has raised the alert level of the response to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. This emergency activation has no significant impact on the public beyond those measures that have been taken already. However, it allows for response agencies and critical service providers to increase their preparedness activities (aprox. 150-200 institutions). For the time being, no travel restrictions are in force. There is no ban on mass gatherings. Such a ban would have a great impact on society and is therefore not activated as a result. The Chief Epidemiologist and his staff are paying special attention to vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions. This group should take special care and avoid crowed places and events. Health care institutions and the organization of welfare companies are increasing their defenses and readiness. deCode genetics (Íslensk erfðagreining) has offered to do screenings for the COVID-19 in Icelandic society to check its pathways.

The island is volcanic and is 103,000 square kilometres. Most built-up areas are scattered around the coastline which is 4,970 km long. On 31 December 2004 the number of inhabitants was 293.577. The population is not evenly distributed and about 180,000 persons reside in Reykjavík, the capital, and the neighbouring communities. An evening view from the Barðaströnd coast in Western Iceland. Icelanders are of Scandinavian, Irish and Scottish origin. The first people known to have visited Iceland were Irish monks or hermits, but they left with the arrival of the pagan Norsemen who settled in Iceland in the period 870-930 AD. The Icelandic language dates back to Ancient Norse. Executive power lies with the President of the Republic and the Government.

  • Criminal Background Check Procedures
    Shaping the future of international education New Edition Criminal Background Check Procedures CIS in collaboration with other agencies has formed an International Task Force on Child Protection chaired by CIS Executive Director, Jane Larsson, in order to apply our collective resources, expertise, and partnerships to help international school communities address child protection challenges. Member Organisations of the Task Force: • Council of International Schools • Council of British International Schools • Academy of International School Heads • U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Schools • Association for the Advancement of International Education • International Schools Services • ECIS CIS is the leader in requiring police background check documentation for Educator and Leadership Candidates as part of the overall effort to ensure effective screening. Please obtain a current police background check from your current country of employment/residence as well as appropriate documentation from any previous country/countries in which you have worked. It is ultimately a school’s responsibility to ensure that they have appropriate police background documentation for their Educators and CIS is committed to supporting them in this endeavour. It is important to demonstrate a willingness and effort to meet the requirement and obtain all of the paperwork that is realistically possible. This document is the result of extensive research into governmental, law enforcement and embassy websites. We have tried to ensure where possible that the information has been obtained from official channels and to provide links to these sources.

  • Neofunctionalism and Liberal Intergovernmentalism
    THE GREEN AND RED LIGHTS OF THE NEW REGULATION ON EUROPOL: NEOFUNCTIONALISM AND LIBERAL INTERGOVERNMENTALISM Victor LaCour 424433 Master’s thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the MSc INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC MANAGEMENT AND POLICY ERASMUS UNIVERSITY ROTTERDAM Submitted on July 31st, 2019 to: Dr. K. H. Stapelbroek (supervisor) Dr. S. R. Grand (second reader) Words: 24,954 Victor LaCour Summary This paper investigates whether the 2016 regulation on the functioning of Europol can best be explained by either of two major conflicting theories of European integration: neofunctionalism and liberal intergovernmentalism. The explanatory power of each theory is tested through a congruence analysis. This analysis is based on the rigorous development and operationalization of the paradigms that each theory presents. The results indicate that neofunctionalism wields a superior degree of explanatory power over the case of the Europol regulation. Specifically, the observations made through this analysis show that neofunctionalism offers accurate predictions of institutional behavior across national and supranational arenas. It successfully accounts for the active role of the European Commission in policymaking, as well as the evolving behavior of the most interested national actors, such as national law enforcement authorities. Neofunctionalism also displays a strong ability to analyze inter-institutional relations, successfully accounting for the role of the European Parliament. Furthermore, this research sheds light on the so-far unexplored role that non-political EU agencies, in this case Europol, take in promoting their own interests in the policy process. The analysis also reflects on the relative potential that liberal intergovernmentalist theory has in analyzing the present case, and comments on what conclusions can be made in terms of the contemporary evolution of EU internal security policy in the post-Lisbon period.
