The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

This partnership is constituted from 6 countries, and targets in each of those 6 regions 2 groups: G1/the actors in the employment and training sectors (trainers, social workers, teachers, entrepreneurs, HR managers ...etc) and G2/the vulnerable populations that are excluded from the employment and training markets (isolated women and single mothers, migrants, adults living in rural areas and/or territories in economic decline, disabled people, as well as people close to illiteracy. After proceeding with a comparative diagnosis of the modes and practices that are used to evaluate the basic competences, with the actors of the employment and training sectors in every country, the partnership will experiment and produce tools and methods for an initial evaluation of the basic competences, that are related to the 8 key competences defined in the European reference framework. These experiments will allow the partners to produce together individualised plans for the development of competences, in favour of the final beneficiaries (G2) and the implementation of training modules to evaluate the key competences in direction of the professionals (G1) which would allow them to adapt their practices to the diversity of problems faced by the vulnerable groups. 3 Grundtvig - See your skills PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY This partnership aims at 3 objectives: 1. Identify, analyse and exchange the good practices in terms of evaluation and development of key competences in favour of the groups who are in a situation of social and professional exclusion.

    [HNV-Link] WP4 Cross-Visit Host report LA Thessaly-Greece Western Stara Planina region – Bulgaria, cross-visit to LA-Thessaly, Greece Dates: 13th-15th of June 2018 (Programme, Annex 1) Photos (Annex 2) During 13-15 June, a group of producers, researchers and local authorities from the Western Stara Planina region - Bulgaria visited the Mouzaki region, (see list of participants annex 3). Similarly, the Greek team consisted of five researchers participating in the HNV-link program. The purpose of the visit was: (a) to inform on innovations such as GPS-tracking, Terra Thessalia, Participatory Guarantee System and (b) to visit livestock holdings in order the exchanging ideas among the breeders. 13/7/2018 On the arrival of the group from Bulgaria, a brief presentation of the LA-Thessaly profile was made. The economic and demographic situation of the region was analyzed. Special mention was made of the number and type of livestock farms, the problems and the appearing perspectives. At the same time, the innovations Terra Thessalia and the Participatory Guarantee System were presented, explaining the purpose and the advantages offered to the breeders and cheesemakers from the establishment and operation of these specific structures 14/7/2018 During the second day there were field visits to two producers in a mountain community within LA- Thessaly. The first producer has a goat extensive livestock farm. The team visited the stable as well as the pastures where the animals graze. Also, a GPS-tracking demonstration was conducted. The GPS system was mounted in a goat and with a computer the movement of the animal was being monitored in real time.

  • Rural Entrepreneurship in Mountainous Regions Within the Severe Crisis in Greece
    Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities Volume 2, Issue 2 (78-86) DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.26500/JARSSH-02-2017-0201 Rural entrepreneurship in mountainous regions within the severe crisis in Greece KARAGOUNI GLYKERIA∗, TRIGKAS MARIOS, PAPADOPOULOS IOANNIS, MPASDEKIS DIMITRIS 1, 3 Department of Wood & Furniture Design and Technology, Technological Educational Institute of Thessaly, Greece 2 Department of Forestry & Natural Environment, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece 4 Department of Statistics, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Abstract The paper purports to explore the actual entrepreneurial processes in rural and more precisely in mountainous areas taking into account the specificities of the place. Research focuses on two core aspects of rural entrepreneurship according to existing literature and namely the distinctive characteristics of the businesses ecosystem structure of the mountainous Pyli area, Region of Thessaly, Greece and of its population. The first aspect regards the institutional environment, the firm and market size and types, transport and communications infrastructures; access to information, finance and advice services. The second group of factors refers to the existing entrepreneurial attitude regarding entrepreneurial culture, innovativeness and the importance of knowledge. The field research included one third of the existing enterprises of the area providing an adequate sample for its purposes. The data of the study was captured using struc- tured questionnaires. Findings confirm existing literature and contribute to efforts for the development of policies to regenerate rural areas in Greece which are still in a long-lasting severe socio-economic crisis. The paper aims to inspire more generic policy innova- tion for the bottom-up development of local approaches to strengthen rural entrepreneurship in mountainous areas especially in times of crisis.

  • Areas “Affected” by Malaria in Greece 2019 Season, May 2019
    1 Areas “affected” by malaria in Greece 2019 season, May 2019 The “Working Group (WG) for the designation of areas affected by vector-borne diseases” of the National Committee for the Prevention and Control of Tropical Diseases of the Ministry of Health has convened and decided upon which areas should be designated as “affected”, following the recording of an introduced P.vivax malaria case (1st generation of transmission) in 2019. The WG of experts has carefully examined the following data: the total epidemiological data concerning malaria in Greece since 2009, the number and characteristics of all cases reported to the National Public Health Organization (N.P.H.O.) up to 24th May 2019, the characteristics of the population to which they correspond, and the geomorphological characteristics of the corresponding areas, the available entomological data for the years 2011-2019, especially for the area with the introduced case, and the literature concerning the flight range of mosquito vectors, especially Anopheles sacharovi, which is considered to be the main malaria vector in our country. According to the suggestion of European experts, an “affected area” is defined as falling within a radius of 2-6 km around the probable place of exposure of the locally acquired cases. In Greece, an affected area is usually defined by a radius of 6 km around the probable place of exposure. However, if this defined circle includes sections of large urban centres or cities (that cannot be easily divided) or if a smaller radius is deemed adequate (e.g. based on entomological data, history of cases in an area, geomorphology, etc.), the WG - following risk assessment – decides upon the exact designation of the affected area.
