The American people saw the rewards that grew out of our efforts in the first 18 months of my Administration. Economic growth increased in strength, and the number of new jobs created during my Administration rose to 4.7 million. After 6 years of delay, the American people had a Crime Bill, which will put 100,000 police officers on our streets and take 19 deadly assault weapons off the street. We saw our National Service initiative become a reality as I swore in the first 20,000 AmeriCorps members, giving them the opportunity to serve their country and to earn money for their education. -
Conseil Consultatif Des Immigrés Auprès De La Communauté Française
LA PRATIQUE DU POUVOIR EXÉCUTIF 561 2054 ÉTRANGERS. — Conseil consultatif des immigrés auprès de la Communauté française. Un arrêté de l’Exécutif de la Communauté française en date du 9 octobre 1986 (M.B., 10 janvier 1987) avait institué un conseil consultatif des immigrés auprès de cette Communauté (voyez cette chronique, n° 1913). L’arrêté de l’Exécutif du 18 février 1987 (M.B., 20 mai 1987) fixe à 250 F pour le président ou vice-présidents et à 200 F pour les membres ou experts le jeton de présence à chaque réunion de deux heures au moins tenue par le conseil consultatif. L’indemnité pour frais de parcours équivaut au coût du billet de chemin de fer l rc classe correspondant à la distance entre le domicile et le lieu de réunion. J.-P. L. 2055 ÉTRANGERS. — Droits politiques. — Elections locales. — Propo sition de directive européenne. — Implications en Belgique. La participation des étrangers aux élections locales est envisagée depuis 1974 au sein des instances de la Communauté économique européenne. Suite à une résolution du Parlement européen (13 novembre 1985), le Commissaire Ripa di Meana lui a déposé un rapport approfondi (7 octobre 1986). La Commission a ensuite élaboré une proposition de directive qui, fondée sur l’article 235 du Traité de Rome, tend à reconnaître aux ressortissants des Etats membres — soit quatre millions de personnes — le droit de parti ciper aux élections municipales dans la localité de résidence. La Commission souhaite mettre ainsi fin à une discrimination dans l’exercice des droits politiques entre les citoyens de l’Etat d’accueil et les travailleurs originaires des autres pays de la Communauté, dont la libre circulation est garantie par le Traité. -
The Polisario Front
EUROPEAN STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY CENTER (ESISC) THE POLISARIO FRONT CREDIBLE NEGOTIATIONS PARTNER OR AFTER-EFFECT OF THE COLD WAR AND OBSTACLE TO A POLITICAL SOLUTION IN WESTERN SAHARA? Under the leadership of Claude MONIQUET, ESISC President November 2005 METHODOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS Founded in May 2002, the ESISC (European Strategic Intelligence and Security Centre) has taken on, from its inception, the work of observing and analyzing the international terrorism and strategic questions that had been conducted for many years by some of its promoters. The work of the ESISC analysts is based: . On the systematic examination of all the “open sources” (newspapers, magazines, books, etc) available on the questions of terrorism, political violence and strategic problems. On close relations and exchanges with other research centres, in particular in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. On regular meetings with political and military leaders, and members of the intelligence communities. On ad hoc field missions carried out by ESISC researchers or by other experts appointed by them. This systematic approach has enabled the ESISC to create and develop prospective analysis systems, databases (biographical, geographical, thematic and, in terms of terrorism and organized crime, “Perpetrator Group” and “Target Group”) and other instruments that contribute to the permanent evaluation of the tensions, the general threat and the relative threat relating to one or more given targets. This analysis is made available to ESISC’s clients and partners. This report falls within the ESISC’s STUDIES remit. The ESISC further publishes many analysis and synthesis papers that are available on its website: www.esisc.org For all contact: [email protected] This report remains the exclusive property of the ESISC, and any publication other than that expressly envisaged by the law would require prior written permission. -
