Project will organise a 4-day seminar. The objective is to bring together the currently fragmented cereals research expertise in the Baltic State members of the EU (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). The workshop is intended to work out a scientific program for collaboration in plant breeding, variety testing and seed production for organic and low-input agriculture in the Baltic countries. It will also enable discussion and exchange of knowledge and expertise between conventional and organic plant breeding and seed production experts. During this seminar plant breeders, agronomists and seed producers of Baltic States as well as some individuals from other EU countries with experience in organic agriculture will provide platform for discussion and exchange of knowledge and expertise between conventional and organic plant breeding, seed and food production. Representatives from each country will inform about the situation in each country in this area. Based on the results from national research and achievements to develop scientific concepts for breeding for organic agriculture, a network among breeders, researchers, seed and food producers in the Baltic States will be established. Successful joining of researchers of Baltic States whose unexploited knowledge would be transferred and expanded in European Research Area through 6 FP.

Realization of these programmes plays the leading role in the initiation and organization of multidisciplinary research and cooperation inside Europe and beyond. The aim of FP6 (2002-2006) is to make contribution to the creation of European Research Area. The main objectives of FP6 are to foster scientific excellence, competitiveness and innovation through the promotion of better cooperation and coordination between relevant actors at all levels. Economic growth depends on the development of research and many problems for industry and society cannot be solved at the national level only. FP6 will assign 17.5 billion euro to the institutions involved in the European research and technology development projects. The research projects in FP6 are implemented via certain “instruments” specifying how the work should be organized and funded. Each of FP6 activities is the subject of calls for proposals. After submission research proposals are to be evaluated by independent experts. On the basis of this evaluation the best proposals have been retained for EU funding. FP6 has 7 thematic priorities. One of the thematic priorities of FP6 is “Food quality and safety”. The agriculture and food sectors are vitally important to the European economy as whole. The initial budget for this priority is 685 million euro. The primary objective of this priority is to improve health and well being of European citizens. It includes the development of higher quality food and improvement of control of food production and related environmental factors. The classical approach “from farm to fork” is readdressed to a new approach “fork to farm” that emphasizes

  • Interaction Between the Number of Visitors at Tourist Accommodation Establishments and the Economic Development in Latvia
    Economics and Rural Development Vol. 8, No. 1, 2012 ISSN 1822-3346 INTERACTION BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF VISITORS AT TOURIST ACCOMMODATION ESTABLISHMENTS AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN LATVIA Aina Muska1, Ligita Bite2 Latvia University of Agriculture, Latvia The research hypothesis: the economic development of a district affects the number of visitors at tourist accommodation establishments outside Riga region. The research aim is to identify a correlation between the number of visitors at tourist accommodation establishments and the economic development of a district in Latvia. The research was done using data broken down by statistical region and districts (a unit of administrative division of the territory of Latvia until the middle of 2009). The research showed that the majority (more than 60%) of visitors at Latvian tourist accommodation establishments were foreign tourists whose share at Riga tourist accommodation establishments accounted for more than 70%. Outside Riga region, more than 70% of visitors were local (Latvian) tourists, mostly business tourists. In the research period, more than half of visitors at tourist accommodation establishments concentrated in Riga region, while more than 10% – in Pieriga and Kurzeme regions. The share of visitors in the other regions did not exceed 6% of their total number. According to a cluster analysis, an explicit trend of monocentric economic development is specific to Latvia, resulting in significant differences between Riga, the capital city of Latvia, and the other districts of Latvia. The number of visitors at tourist accommodation establishments is higher in the clusters having a high (Riga) and medium (districts of Riga, Liepaja, Ventspils, and Daugavpils) level of economic development than in the clusters with a lower level of economic development (districts of Aluksne, Balvi, Dobele, Gulbene, Kraslava, Ludza, Preili, and Valka).

The author takes full responsibility for accuracy of the data. The study is available in Latvian and English on the Internet: www.politika.lv or www.policy.lv Project consultant: Prof. Stephen Heyneman, University of Vanderbilt, USA ¢ Text, Signe Martißüne, Centre for Public Policy PROVIDUS, 2004 ¢ Translation, Lolita K¬aviña, 2004 ¢ Design, Nordik Publishing House, 2004 ISBN 9984–751–46–5 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY When Latvia regained independence, one of its major tasks was to strengthen the posi- tion of Latvian as its state language. Restrictions were placed on the use of languages other than Latvian in commercial and public broadcasting. The Law on Radio and Television limited the amount of time that commercial radio and television broadcasters could allocate to broadcasts in other languages to 25%.1 Hence, news and entertainment for those who speak Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Lithuanian, Roma and English were limited to a maximum of 25% of the total airtime. Stations that wished to broadcast in those languages were required to reserve 75% of their airtime for programs in Latvian. On June 5, 2003, the Constitutional Court invalidated the provision of the law that restricted use of foreign languages in the programs of commercial broadcasters.2 It ruled that the language restrictions applied to commercial broadcasting organizations did not conform with Article 100 of the Constitution pertaining to freedom of expression, and that in a democratic society such restrictions were neither necessary nor appropriate.

This includes sword hilts, strap dividers and mounts made by Baltic smiths, and a unique armour plate. The study of the inlay technique permits the former silver decoration on objects to be reconstructed. The ornate Couronian sword hilts provide grounds for hypothesising that there was a specialist weaponry workshop at Talsi hill-fort.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract Over a very short period conditions for the Russian population in Latvia have changed dramatically. From being representatives of the majority nationality enjoying a special status in the Soviet multinational empire, Russians have become a national minority in a Latvian nation-state. The thesis focuses on the implications of these changes for the ethnic identity of Russians living in Latvia; the changes are analysed through the perspective of ethnopolitical developments in the country. An examination of relevant western and Latvian scholarly literature on ethnicity and nationality issues provides the theoretical framework within which to discuss the Russian question in Latvia. Conceptual issues are clarified and various explanations for the phenomenon of ethnicity are considered. The relationship between ethnicity and the political sphere is also examined.
