I his Quarterly Accession Watch Report shows that European Commission’s suspension of funds for the National Agency for European Educational Programmes and Mobility1 (hereinafter: the National Agency) imposed due to irregularities back in 2010 and T2011 did not prevent the institution to continue awarding funds to CSOs close to its employees and the ruling authorities, on the next convenient opportunity in 2012. EXECUTIVE EC’s suspension was lifted as late as 2012, leaving only one year for project implementation and when de-commitment of IPA 2009 funds SUMMARY intended for institutional capacity-building was likely to happen. This programmed financial assistance from the EU, in the amount of € 2 million, was approved on 1 January 2010, before the scandal at the National Agency surfaced in the public.

  • FYR Macedonia
    FYR Macedonia SABER Country Report WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT 2014 Dimensions Status 1. Strategic Framework In the Former Yugoslav Republic (FYR) of Macedonia, the government is the strongest advocate and initiator for strengthening workforce development (WfD). However, Macedonia’s top-down approach to WfD policy has not engendered coordination among government agencies and non-government stakeholders. This has impeded the establishment of institutionalized mechanisms for ensuring an efficient and rational approach to WfD and an efficient utilization of the capacities of state institutions. Social dialogue is the weakest component of this dimension, as it is still insufficiently developed. 2. System Oversight Numerous reform efforts have been undertaken in the last decade to increase the attractiveness and relevance of vocational education and training (VET) to the labor market, yet the VET system remains in a transitional stage. The country has embarked on processes to develop standards of qualification, changes in the structure of the VET system, quality assurance, expansion of the network of providers, and diversification of pathways for education and training, but it will take time for these initiatives to generate the desired effects. 3. Service Delivery The relevance of training programs is high on the policy agenda; however, the results are still not at a satisfactory level. Despite a number of good practices and initiatives at the central level, there are consistent mismatches between education supply and labor demand. Collaboration between the business sector and training providers has been weak, something that has negative implications for the relevance of the education supply. Existing opportunities for business to become more involved have not been sufficiently utilized.

  • Guida a Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light
    La prima volta dell’Eurovision Song Contest annullato L’edizione 2020 dell’Eurovision Song Contest non andrà in scena. Era in programma il 12, 14 e 16 maggio alla Ahoy Arena di Rotterdam, nei Paesi Bassi, ma la pandemia da Coronavirus che partendo dalla Cina ha coinvolto prima l’Italia, poi tutta Europa ed il resto del Mondo, ha portato l’EBU e la tv pubblica olandese all’unica decisione possibile: cancellare la manifestazione per quest’anno. Non è mai successo, nella storia del concorso, che sia saltata un'edizione, nemmeno quando problemi tecnici ed economici, in passato, ne avevano messo in forte dubbio lo svolgimento. Una decisione sofferta, ovviamente, perché i motori erano già caldi e la messa a punto dell’area, con la costruzione del palco, era ormai prossima; tanti i fan lasciati delusi. L’EBU ha spiegato che non sarebbe stato possibile mettere in pratica nessuna delle altre ipotesi: uno show da remoto, oltre a causare evidenti squilibri tecnici fra i vari paesi, non avrebbe avuto lo stesso appeal dell’evento, fortemente aggregativo. Per gli stessi motivi è stata scartata l’idea di andare in onda senza pubblico, mentre un rinvio a settembre o in un qualunque altro mese, oltre a dare meno tempo alla tv vincitrice per organizzare l’edizione 2021, non avrebbe comunque garantito lo svolgimento dell’evento vista l’evoluzione imprevedibile della pandemia. Allo stesso tempo, l’EBU ha dato parere favorevole alla designazione per l’Eurovision 2021 degli stessi interpreti scelti per il 2020: non tutte le emittenti hanno fatto questa scelta. Tutte le canzoni invece dovranno essere nuove, perché resta valida la regola per la quale i brani non devono essere stati pubblicati antecedentemente al 1° settembre dell’anno precedente all’edizione.

  • Eurovision 2006 D
    Lieu : Stade couvert du complexe Orchestre : - Olympique d‘Athènes (Grèce) Présentation : Maria Menounos & Date : Jeudi 18 Mai Sakis Rouvas Réalisateur : Volker Weicker Durée : 2 h 21 Il aura fallu 31 ans à la Grèce pour gagner le concours Eurovision et pour l'organiser l'année suivante. La caravane de l'Eurovision se retrouve donc à Athènes, dans le stade couvert du complexe sportif qui avait accueilli les Jeux Olympiques deux ans plus tôt. Le pays est agité d'une véritable fréné- sie autour du concours Eurovision et ERT a mis les petits plats dans les grands. Pour l'occasion, la salle accueille près de 15 000 spectateurs. La réalisation est placée dans les mains de l'Allemand Volker Weicker. Côté production, les Allemands de Procon raflent également la mise devant les Suédois de Spectra qui avaient travaillé sur les derniers concours. L'américaine d'origines grecques Maria Menounoses assure la présentation de la demi-finale aux côtés de Sakis Rouvas, le représentant grec de 2004. 6 En raison du retrait de l'Autriche et de la Hongrie, le nombre de participants 0 régresse à 37 pays. Certes l'Arménie, nouveau membre de l'U.E.R. fait son entrée mais, signe avant coureur de la séparation définitive qui sera pronon- cée quelques semaines plus tard, la Serbie & Monténégro n'a pas réussi à 0 choisir un représentant lors de leur sélection nationale remportée, fraudu- leusement affirment les Serbes, par le groupe monténégrin No Name. Le pays sera néanmoins autorisé à voter lors des deux soirées de ce concours 2 Eurovision 2006.
