A sa dix-septième session à Carthagène, en décembre 1993, le Comité a exprimé sa préoccupation quant au petit nombre de listes indicatives qui répondaient aux exigences stipulées aux paragraphes 7 et 8 des Orientations, et il a confirmé l'importance de ces listes pour la planification, l'analyse comparative des propositions d'inscription et la réalisation des études globales et thématiques. Ces listes constituent en outre un inventaire des biens situés sur le territoire de chaque Etat partie que ce dernier considère comme susceptibles d'être inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial. Le Comité a également confirmé que les listes indicatives sont obligatoires pour les biens culturels pour lesquels les Etats parties ont l'intention de soumettre des propositions d'inscription sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial dans les cinq à dix prochaines années. 2. En conséquence, le Comité a invité les Etats parties qui ne l'avaient pas encore fait, à soumettre leurs listes indicatives conformément aux Orientations, étant entendu qu’ "une assistance préparatoire sera fournie si nécessaire et à la demande de l'Etat partie concerné".

  • Cost-Loss Analysis and Probabilistic Information for Water Boards
    Cost-Loss analysis and probabilistic information for water boards Laura Janssen KNMI Internal Report IR-2015-03 Master Thesis Mathematics Cost-Loss analysis and probabilistic information for water boards Author: Supervisor Radboud University: Laura Janssen Prof. Dr. Ir. Egbert-Jan Sol [email protected] [email protected] Supervisors KNMI: Drs. Kees Kok [email protected] Dr. Maurice Schmeits [email protected] Second reader: Dr. Heleen de Coninck [email protected] July 7, 2015 Abstract The water board Wetterskip Frysl^anin the province Friesland is responsible for managing the water level in the Frisian belt canal system. When the expected water level there, calculated by among others the expected precipitation, is too high, the water board intervenes by opening sluices and operating pumps. To know the expected water level in the Frisian belt canal system, the precipitation forecast must be as accurate as possible. Expected precipitation based on probabilistic information takes uncertainty into account, in contrast to the use of deterministic information, which may lead to better decisions also for the short term, forecasts up to two days ahead. To investigate that, a strategy for a simplified model of the water board is constructed to give a suggestion at which hours sluices may need to be opened and a pump may need to operate if the water level reaches a certain threshold. The input of the strategy consists of precipitation data in Friesland from winters of 2012 to 2015. This thesis compares the output based on probabilistic information, which differs for different water level thresholds, with the output based on deterministic information.

This has resulted in a long-established tradition of Nordic co-operation in agriculture and forestry. Within the framework of the Plan of Action 1996-2000, the Nordic Council of Ministers (ministers of agriculture and forestry) has given priority to co-operation on quality agricultural production emphazising environmental aspects, the management of genetic resources, the development of regions depending on agriculture and forestry and sustainable forestry. Nordic co-operation Nordic co-operation, one of the oldest and most wide-ranging regional partnerships in the world, involves Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland. Co- operation reinforces the sense of Nordic community while respecting national differences and simi- larities, makes it possible to uphold Nordic interests in the world at large and promotes positive relations between neighbouring peoples.
