President Fischer strongly supported India’s place in a reformed UN Security Council. He said that ‘We recognize that the world is changing fast and that the current composition in the Security Council does not reflect the realities of the new world order currently emerging. Your country deserves to play a bigger role in the Security Council’. Austrian Federal President Dr. Heinz Fischer visited India in February 2005. The Joint Statement issued during the visit highlighted the need to keep up the momentum of exchanging high level visits, expanding and deepening cooperation in power, environment, health infrastructure, biotechnology, information technology, engineering and transport, intensifying cooperation between universities and research institutions, expanding direct air- links between the two countries, condemning terrorism and a dialogue on UN related issues.

AUSTRIAN GRAND DECORATION of HONOUR for EMCDDA DIRECTOR EMCDDA Director Wolfgang Götz Receives Award for Services to the Republic of Austria
AUSTRIAN GRAND DECORATION OF HONOUR FOR EMCDDA DIRECTOR EMCDDA Director Wolfgang Götz receives award for services to the Republic of Austria (8.9.2015, LISBON) EMCDDA Wolfgang Götz will be guest of honour at the Austrian Embassy in Lisbon this evening where he will be awarded the Grand Decoration of Honour in Gold for Services to the Republic of Austria (1). The award will be bestowed on Mr Götz by His Excellency the Ambassador of Austria Thomas Stelzer (2), on behalf of the President of the Federal Republic of Austria, Dr Heinz Fischer. Austria honours both Austrian and foreign leading figures who have been of special service to the country. The law establishing the Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria was enacted in 1952 by the country’s National Assembly. The Federal President confers these honours on receipt of a proposal from an appropriate member of the Federal Government, the President of the National Assembly or the President of the Federal Council. Mr Götz was nominated for the accolade by Austrian National Drug Coordinator Franz Pietsch, who is also Deputy Director-General of Public Health at the Austrian Federal Ministry of Health. Mr Pietsch — who sits on the EMCDDA Management Board — nominated Mr Götz for the award in appreciation of his accomplishments in the drugs field, in general, and in Austria, in particular, and the sound relations he has forged with the country. Wolfgang Götz has been Director of the EMCDDA since May 2005, having been appointed by the agency’s Management Board in April that year.

Austria and the Holocaust: Coming to Terms with the Past?
UNIVERSITY of GLASGOW Austria and the Holocaust: Coming to Terms with the Past? Dr Robert Knight Loughborough University The Sixth University of Glasgow Holocaust Memorial Lecture 24 January 2006 © Robert Knight 1. First of all let me say what a great honour it is for me to be invited to deliver this lecture to you. Above all I would like to thank the Principal for his kind invitation and Professor Otto Hutter for putting me forward. As you know this is the sixth lecture in this series. Tonight I will at least aspire to the high standards my five distinguished predecessors have set in their instructive lectures, as well as touching on some of the issues they have rajsed. My subject - Austria and the Holocaust - may appear limited but, as should become clear, Austria and the actions of Austrians are hardly marginal to the terrible events we are discussing this evening. What do we mean by "coming to terms with the past"? The phrase is one current translation of the German term "Vergangenheitsbewaltigung" a composite noun comprising "Vergangenheit" ( = past) and "Bewaltigung" (=' coming to terms). It probably entered English as a direct translation of the German in the 1960s. However "coming to terms" is not the only available translation of "Bewaltigung" - alternative current translations include "tackling, confronting or facing up to." These translations suggest a basic tension within the phrase. To put it simply, they point in two different directions and this divergence is not trivial. "Coming to terms" suggests a process which, painful though it is, allows a loss, or a trauma to be got through, at least to the point that the person or persons who have suffered it can in some sense, continue or "move on." We commonly associate "terms" with conditions, boundaries or finishing points.

175 Or 235 Years of Austrian-American Relations? Reflections and Repercussions for the Modern Day." Austria and America: 20Th- Century Cross Cultural Encounters
Singerton, Jonathan W. "175 or 235 Years of Austrian-American Relations? Reflections and Repercussions for the Modern Day." Austria and America: 20th- Century Cross Cultural Encounters. Ed. Joshua Parker and Ralph J. Poole. Vienna: LIT Verlag, 2017. 13-30. ISBN 978-3-643-90812-4 (pb). 175 OR 235 YEARS OF AUSTRIAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS? REFLECTIONS AND REPERCUSSIONS FOR THE MODERN DAY 1 JONATHAN W. SINGERTON A feature common to both Austrians and Americans is the love of celebrat ing the past. The year 2015, for example, witnessed the 150th anniversary of the opening of the famous Ringstrasse in Vienna and at the same time marked the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War. 2017 will witness the 300th anniversary of Maria Theresa and the I 00th anniversary of John F. Kennedy. It is no surprise then, that during 2013 the governments of the Republic of Austria and the United States of America seized the oppo1tunity to celebrate the 175th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations. This celebration reflected the beginning of the Austrian-American relationship with the exchange of representatives in 1838. For the occasion the U.S. Embassy in Vienna developed a multimedia exhibition to demon strate the tenacity of the relationship. It was comprised of a series of panels filled with historical memorabilia, a printed booklet, an accompanying video (with the coincidental timing of 17.5 minutes), and even commemorative mugs filled with Tootsie Rolls-the invention, we were reminded, of an Austrian-American. Events were held throughout Austria, from Innsbruck in the West to Klagenfurt in the South.
