Investment Evaluation Unit UIPFFS Implementation Unit of Projects Funded from Structural Funds ROMANIA – 2020 NRP 6 1. INTRODUCTION The National Reform Programme (NRP) is a framework for defining reform measures that meet the priorities set at EU level, the CSRs and certain challenges pointed out by the EC in its annual analyses, named Country Reports. The NRP 2020 was drafted in accordance with EC guidelines1 and the priorities established by the Annual Sustainable Growth Strategy 2020 (ASGS)2, considering both the 2019 CSRs3 and the Country Report Romania 20204. However, it should be emphasized that the situation generated by the COVID-19 pandemic requires a set of exceptional measures to mitigate the negative economic and social effects. In this context, the current edition of the European Semester should be dealt with considering the unfeasibility of assessing, at this time, the overall and actual effects the COVID-19 pandemic is having at EU level and for each and every one of its Member States. As such, it is necessary to take into account the need to adjust the commitments provided for in the current edition of the NRP, as well as the benchmarks for the implementation of proposed measures, in the light of ongoing developments. From Romania's perspective, it is necessary to continue the dialogue with the EC and to carry out a comprehensive post- COVID-19 evaluation, at a later time, so that all the aforementioned issues be taken into account in the European Semester 2020-2021.

The main scope of the certification is to promote a safe aviation product and to protect the general public from unnecessary risk. In all the contries the national authorieties require a civil certificability for all the parts or equipments and a full aircraft certification for a new or wholly modified airplane. The military aircrafts must pased and respond to a specific way of certification and many actual efforts are done in order to unify the diffrent national rules in this field. This paper presents the existing situation in the certification of civil and military airplans and the actual measures done for the unification of certification procedures in the world. Key Words: civil certification, military certification, airworthiness standards, type certificates for airplanes, MAWA (Military Airvorthiness Autorities). 1.

  • Intermodality in Urban Passenger Transport

    Intermodality in Urban Passenger Transport

    Conference Proceedings of the Academy of Romanian Scientists PRODUCTICA Scientific Session ISSN 2067-9564 Volume 11, Number 1/2019 9 INTERMODALITY IN URBAN PASSENGER TRANSPORT Flavius GRIGORE1, Petruț CLADOVEANU2 Rezumat. Intermodalitatea este o parte integrantă a mobilității durabile, iar îmbunătățirea acesteia este deosebit de importantă în zonele urbane aglomerate. Orașele sunt în creștere în prezent, la fel și cererea cetățenilor pentru mobilitate. Pe scară globală, traficul individual este motorizat,abia capabil să răspundă acestei nevoi din cauza costurilor de proprietate și datorită lipsei unei infrastructuri corespunzătoare. În afara de asta, traficul cu automobilul personal este responsabil pentru majoritatea sarcinilor de circulație actuale, cum ar fi poluarea aerului, blocajele de trafic, zgomotul și accidentele. O astfel de utilizare a diferitelor moduri de transport într-o singură călătorie se numește "intermodalitate" și este un subiect de lucru încurajat într-un context național, european și mondial. Abstract. Intermodality is an integral part of the sustainable mobility and its enhancement is of vital importance particularly, in high congested urban areas. Cities are growing nowadays and so is their citizens’ demand for mobility. On a global scale, motorized individual traffic is hardly capable of meeting this need due to its ownership costs and due to the lack of an accordingly large infrastructure. Besides, motorized individual traffic is responsible for the majority of today's traffic burdens, such as air pollution, traffic jams, noise, and accidents. Such a use of different transport modes within a single journey is called “intermodality” and is a work topic fostered in a national, European, and world- wide context. Keywords : intermodality, urban transport, passenger intermodal transport, public transport 1.

The concern for road safety in Europe is growing bigger. European Union by its means promote the aim of reducing the number of victims of traffic accidents by half in the period 2011-2020. In order to achieve this objective a lot of actions should be developed. One of our concern is the development of the infrastructure, mainly building motorways. Our research aims to study the relation between infrastructure – motorway versus highway and road accidents. Our findings show that is a great relationship between uses of motorways and reducing the number of accidents. 1 Introduction The road transportation of freight and passengers counts for the most of the deaths by mean of transportation. Road traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of violent death in the European Union and at a global level. The actions promoted by the European Commission aims to reduce the number of victims of traffic accidents in the EU by half over the period 2011-2020.[1] From the many initiatives started to support the objective of reducing number of victims one of them is focusing on the safety of the infrastructure.

Queen “The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.” “I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” Extracts from “Sisyphus Myth” (1942) by Albert Camus (1913–1960) Sisyphus by Titian (1490–1567) 1548–1549.
