Regional Implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive in the Baltic Sea Catchment "%2.%4#!4#( Network on the implementation of EU Water Framework Directive in the Baltic Sea Catchment BERNET (Baltic Eutrophication Regional Network) is a network cooperation between water managers in seven regions of the Baltic Sea Region. The network was founded in 1999 to help improve the aquatic environment in the BERNET CATCH Executive Summary: Baltic Sea region and of the regional waters in its catchment. Right from the start, BERNET has focused especially on Eutrophication problems. Doing this, the BERNET Partners have wished to contribute to full-fi lling the aim of the Helsinki Declaration in “assuring the ecological restoration of the Baltic Sea”. Regional Implementation of The present BERNET-CATCH project running for the period 2003-2006 focuses primarily on the regional implementation WestWest FinlandFinland of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD).

  • Baltic Towns030306
    The State and the Integration of the Towns of the Provinces of the Swedish Baltic Empire The Purpose of the Paper1 between 1561 and 1660, Sweden expanded Dalong the coasts of the Baltic Sea and throughout Scandinavia. Sweden became the dominant power in the Baltics and northern Europe, a position it would maintain until the early eighteenth century. At the same time, Swedish society was experiencing a profound transformation. Sweden developed into a typical European early modern power-state with a bureaucracy, a powerful mili- tary organization, and a peasantry bending under taxes and conscription. The kingdom of Sweden also changed from a self-contained country to an important member of the European economy. During this period the Swedish urban system developed as well. From being one of the least urbanized European countries with hardly more than 40 towns and an urbanization level of three to four per cent, Sweden doubled the number of towns and increased the urbanization level to almost ten per cent. The towns were also forced by the state into a staple-town system with differing roles in fo- reign and domestic trade, and the administrative and governing systems of the towns were reformed according to royal initiatives. In the conquered provinces a number of other towns now came under Swe- dish rule. These towns were treated in different ways by the state, as were the pro- vinces as a whole. While the former Danish and Norwegian towns were complete- ly incorporated into the Swedish nation, the German and most of the east Baltic towns were not.

  • Vandringsstigar Och Motionsslingor I Laholms Kommun Välkommen
    Vandringsstigar och motionsslingor i Laholms kommun Välkommen... att besöka Laholms kommuns vandringsstigar och motionsslingor. En hel del blir nog förvånade över att det finns så många markerade slingor i Laholms kommun. Några troligtvis helt okända även för dem som bor här. Det var en av anledningarna till att vi ville göra den här broschyren. Dessutom har det funnits en stor efterfrågan på en folder med samlad information om våra slingor. Vandringar i naturen har blivit alltmer populärt. Det är ett billigt fritidsnöje som alla generationer kan samlas kring och ha glädje av. Nuförtiden känner alla också till nyttan av att röra på sig. Dessutom är det ett sätt att uppleva och komma nära naturen, där vardagsstressen försvinner och naturens lugn griper tag i en. Det har varit en glädje att ha fått arbeta med denna broschyr och vandra på de olika slingorna. Jag upp- täckte snart, att trots att de flesta finns i skogsmiljö, är stigarna helt olika med egen atmosfär och själ. Vandringarna gjordes under våren och sommaren 2009. Den färgprakt av blommor och växter som naturen bjöd oss på, var helt hänförande. Varje vår när växtligheten vaknar till liv och bjuder oss på sin rikedom, förundras man av hur vackert det är i vår natur. För att inte tala om hösten med dess färger från mörkaste grönt till djupaste rött. Denna prakt är svår att föreställa sig en mörk och kall vinterdag när all växtlighet har gått till vila. Hallandsleden... är inte med i vår broschyr. Den börjar vid Skånele- den i Koarp på Hallandsås och sträcker sig 57 km genom Laholms kommun till Halmstadsgränsen.

  • Wind Power, Capacity Building and Rural Development – What If No One Turns Up?
    Wind power, capacity building and rural development – what if no one turns up? Introduction Renewable energy resources are such as sun-, wind-, biomass-, wave-, and geothermal heat energy. The situation in Sweden today is believed to be politically unanimous in terms of using the potential of these resources. The expansion of wind power resource exploitation concerns the inland of 1 Laholm municipality, mainly the areas around Knäred, Hishult, Oxhult, Putsered och Mästocka. The development of large scale wind power projects exemplify the planning dilemma of understanding political visions of global warming, project planning, implementation, social acceptance and sustainable rural development. Human geography is a scientific discipline concerned with the relation between man, nature and society and therefore has a suitable toolbox for understanding of problems in that particular field. The development within wind power energy has developed from a small scale production to a large industry in Sweden. At the moment Laholms municipality is experiencing the focus for a large scale wind power project. Laholm municipality is situated in the southwest of Sweden in between Goteborg and Malmo/Copenhagen. The large wind power project target rural areas east of the coastal zone. Map1.

  • Skottorp - Gränsen Mellan Skåne Och Halland
    Möjligheternas boende Skottorp - Gränsen mellan Skåne och Halland. Vid Skottorp går gränsen mellan Skåne och Halland. Havet västerut med badorten Skummeslövsstrand och Hallandsåsens strövområden finns på bara några kilometers avstånd. Närheten till havet är en av fördelarna med att bo i Skottorp – exempelvis är det bara tre kilometer till stranden i Skummeslövsstrand. Närheten till motorvägen E6 har också betydelse för Skottorps utveckling och kommunikationerna norr- och söderut. Det som Skottorp troligtvis är mest känt för är Skottorps slott, eller kanske snarare Karl XI:s bröllop på slottet 1680. Kyrkan i Skottorp byggdes ca 1180 och är den äldsta i Laholms kommun. everydaymagic.se Våra lägenheter i Skottorp I Skottorp bor du marknära i mindre, trivsamma lägenheter med egen ingång och uteplats. Nu har vi också nyproducerade lägenheter att erbjuda i Skottorp. Tillgängliga och trevliga lägenheter speciellt lämpliga för äldre. Fakta Skottorp: Antal invånare tätort: 457 st Antal lägenheter: 35 st Avstånd till Laholm: 13 km Avstånd till Halmstad: 29 km Avstånd till strand: 3 km Kommunikationer Med E6 nära inpå är det lätt att med bil ta sig både norr och söder ut – Skottorp ligger nästan mittemel- lan Halmstad och Ängelholm. Bussförbindelser finns till Båstad, Laholm samt badorterna Mellbystrand och Skummeslövsstrand. Det finns en fin cykelväg mellan Laholm och Skottorp på gamla västkustbanan som sedan fortsätter till Båstad via Skummeslövsstrand. Service Skottorp har en pizzeria, frisör, blomsteraffär, herrekiperingsbutik, krukmakeri och en liten servicebutik med postservice. Utöver servicebutiken finns i dagsläget tillgång till en speciell busstur till matbutiken i Skummeslövsstrand. En gång i veckan plockar den upp passagerare, tar dem till affären och kör hem dem igen när de är klara.

    Local government investments 2015 Contents Foreword 3 Local government investments 4 Investment account 10 Forecast 12 In-depth analysis Debt, asset values and financial capacity 13 In-depth analysis Market values in public housing 15 Appendix Investment levels in Sweden’s 290 municipalities 16 FOREWORD Local government investment builds value Since the autumn of 2013 Kommuninvest has published reports on the Swdish local government sector’s investments and borrowing. The reports form part of Kommuninvest’s on-going monitoring and fol- low-up of the local government sector’s financial activities. The data on which the reports are based are unique, since both investment and borrowing are analysed from a consolidated perspective, that is, includ- ing local government operations conducted in corporate formats. Accordingly, the relationship between investment and borrowing in the local government sector is elucidated at both the national and local levels. The input data have been gathered directly from the annual reports of the municipalities and county councils/regions, and from those of the relevant local government-owned companies. This allows information to be published faster than if official statistics were to be used. Further- more, the sector’s investments are broken down at the group level, both for the municipalities and the county councils/regions. This year’s report highlights the effect of the investments on the local government authorities’ balance sheets – primarily the asset side. While the sector’s external borrowing certainly increases when investments are financed through external funding, considerable asset values are also amassed. The carrying amount for the local government sector’s tangi- ble fixed assets amounts to more than SEK 1,000 billion, or about twice as much as external borrowing.
