GENERAL TRANSPORT POLICY ASPECTS A. Developments with regard to your Government's policy objectives for inland transport as a whole and for special sectors (road, rail, inland waterway, urban transport, etc.) as well as external objectives (land use planning, regional development, etc.) to the extent they are related to transport 1. In 2005 the Government of the Republic of Lithuania approved a Long-Term Development Strategy of the Lithuanian Transport System (until 2025). This Strategy gives the analysis of the long-term development perspective of the different transport modes and establishment of the public logistics centres (“freight villages”). In addition, it emphasizes the importance of intermodal interaction in the development of the Lithuanian transport infrastructure. Along with general policy measures, this Strategy also presents the development measures of individual transport modes envisaged for specific periods: from 2007 through 2013 and until the year 2025. 2. Two major priorities are defined in the Strategy: the development of the North-South transport axis and improvement of the East-West transport axis. GE.07- ECE/TRANS/WP.5/2007/7/Add.2 page 2 3. The first priority is based on the creation and further development of a modern multimodal Trans-European Transport Network along the North-South direction.

  • Sikinos La Guida È Stata Realizzata Grazie Alla Collaborazione Dei Soci: Rino E Lucia Cappelletto, Wanda Benati, Andrea Della Santa E Claudio Paoloni
    Sikinos La guida è stata realizzata grazie alla collaborazione dei soci: Rino e Lucia Cappelletto, Wanda Benati, Andrea Della Santa e Claudio Paoloni. 43 Kmq di superficie. Cinque km di larghezza massima per 14 km di lunghezza. Circa 250 abitanti vivono tutto l'anno sull'isola. Una solo strada collega Allopronia (il porto nella foto) con la Chora. E' in costruzione un'altra strada, larga otto metri e costruita con i fondi messi a disposizione dalla Comunità Europea. Arriva quasi ad Episcopi. L'isola è prevalentemente rocciosa con coste a picco nella parte occidentale. Il monte Troulos (600 m di altitudine) , nel mezzo dell'isola è la cima più alta. La parte collinare è coltivata a grano, ulivi e vite. Pare che il nome dell'isola derivi dal greco antico, INOS (vino). Un'altra risorsa è la pastorizia. Risulta invece trascurata la pesca. Dov'è ? Dal Pireo ci vogliono circa 10 ore di navigazione per raggiungere l'isola. Sulla linea delle Cicladi occidentale è collegata quasi giornalmente con Ios e Folegandros (sette chilometri, mezz'ora di navigazione). Gli aeroporti più vicini sono Santorini e Milos. Orari: www.gtp.gr da consultare primadi partire Rino e Lucia Cappelletto (Prima settimana di giugno 2018) Noi siamo arrivati da Milos con la Zante ferries che collega, anche, IOS e Folegandros, proseguendo, poi, fino al Pireo. L’isola è collegata, anche, da Hellenic Seaways che non porta auto a bordo (solo servizio passeggeri). Servizio di bus dal porto per Horiò (fermata davanti a Iliovasilema). Wanda Benati giugno 2008 Collegamenti quotidiani, anche più volte al giorno, con Ios, Santorini, Folegandros e Anafi, effettuati dall’ Arsinoi (Saos Lines, orari pochissimo affidabili) o dalla Panagia Tinou (Nel Lines).

  • Road Safety Performance Road Safety Performance Review of Lithuania National Peer Review: Lithuania
    Road Safety Performance Review of Lithuania Road Safety Performance National Peer Review: Lithuania The European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) has embarked on a new approach to strengthening its work on road safety. To this end, the ECMT works to contribute more effectively to the debate on the improvement of road safety policies by conducting peer reviews of the measures and policies enacted by member countries. Lithuania is the first country to undertake this type of review in the safety field. The review, carried out by experts from Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden and the ECMT Secretariat, is an effective way for Lithuania to openly examine its policies and Road Safety practices through detailed comment, discussion and insight on its current road safety activities. Performance The peer review process is used extensively within the OECD and its affiliated organisations, always originating at the request of the country being reviewed. Apart from providing an open National Peer Review: appraisal of national policies, the review process should help relevant Ministries obtain needed resources and implement Lithuania effective policies and practice.

It is designed by the local community, for the local community. Starting from an examination of the current dynamics on the island, the Clean Energy Transition Agenda spells out a vision of the island that is shared by the members of the island community. The perspectives of different island stakeholders are aligned to work towards this common vision by identifying possible pathways, including common goals and effective strategies. This Island Clean Energy Transition Agenda for Sifnos was developed jointly by the Sifnos Island Cooperative and the Municipality of Sifnos, with the support from the schools of Sifnos, the Port Authority of Sifnos and the Agriculture Cooperative of Sifnos. It was co-authored by the Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat who facilitated the writing of the document and provided some technical advice. This document is the first version of the Clean Energy Transition Agenda for Sifnos which describes the current context in the island. It illustrates the strategies developed by the transition team to accelerate the energy transition. In case of new decisions agreed within the transition team, some modifications could be done at a later stage. The Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat is an initiative on behalf of the European Commission aimed at catalysing the clean energy transition on EU Islands.
