Tethys Oil in Brief Tethys Oil is a Swedish energy company focused on identi- fi cation and development for production of oil and natural gas assets in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. Tethys’ strategy is to invest in projects in areas with known oil and natural gas discoveries that have not been prop- erly appraised using modern technology. In this way, high returns can be achieved with limited risk. Th e company has interests in licences in Oman, Morocco, France, Spain, Turkey and Sweden. Th e shares are listed on First North (TETY) in Stockholm. Remium AB is Certifi ed Adviser. 2007 in Brief Highlights • Oman – Jebel Aswad re-entry completed fl owed 2,626 BOEPD on test • France – participated in Pierre Maubeuge 2 exploration well – potential gas discovery to be tested in 2008 • Spain – participated in Hontomin 4 well – no hydrocar- bons encountered • Acquisition of 50 per cent interest of Blocks 3&4 onshore Oman • Received exploration permit over northern part of Swed- ish Baltic island Gotland • Proposed directed share issue primarily to investors in Asia and Middle East to be followed by secondary listing in Dubai Cover: Natural gas from the Shuaiba is fl ared during the re-entry of Jebel Aswad, the summer of 2007. Letter to the Shareholders Dear Friends and Investors, It is not easy to choose but among many great stories Where do we begin to tell the story of Tethys Oil from last year the greatest is that which occurred on AB? midsummer’s eve 2007 and is best told in three words and four digits: Shall we start with France, and the potential gas fi eld indicated from the Pierre Maubeuge well drilled in rural Lorraine in October? OMAN Or shall we begin the story with how we farmed out Bouanane and are left with a free option on a poten- JEBEL ASWAD tially gas bearing structure of giant proportions in the stone desert of Morocco? 2,626 Or why not simply with how we plan to resurrect Sweden’s only oil region; located on the island of Gotland?

On par with a 50 per cent in Blocks 3 and 4? Hollywood manuscript, the product stream from the reservoir at 3,000 metres depth, lit up the night sky and sent the message that Tethys is about to enter the production age! 4 TETHYS OIL Eight months down the road, we have a fi rm view of how to proceed. Preliminary in-house calculationes of reserves stand at more than 50 bcf of gas and some 2.6 million barrels of condensate and fi rst production is slated for July 2009. So far only one of three hydro- carbon bearing zones have been properly tested, and these preliminary reserve numbers refer to this one zone only, leaving ample upside for both reserve and production increases, as the project matures. But as stories go, the story of Blocks 3 and 4 is not far behind Block 15. A series of fortunate circumstances and some skill brought an entire smorgasbord of low risk exploration and appraisal opportunities to the Tethys project portfolio. To just mention one, the Farah South discovery, we can tell of a well defi ned structure, delineated by three wells all of which brought oil to surface. Flow rates have been rather small though and we would like to drill it again, employing the horizontal techniques which proved so successful in the Jebel Aswad case. In Jebel Aswad, a 40 barrel well suddenly produced 2,626 boepd. Can we achieve just 600 barrels of oil per day from Farah South, we believe we stand to double Tethys reserves of liquids in one go! So stay with us, the journey continues and we are only Other great stories of blocks 3 and 4 are the heavy just seeing the end on the beginning… oil story of the Saiwan structure and the deeper gas plays. Stockholm in March 2008 As is evident, there is so much to tell that we stop here and invite you to read the great stories later in Vincent Hamilton Magnus Nordin the report. And among all the projects, be sure not to Chairman Managing Director miss the entry about oil prices. Chief Operating Offi cer TETHYS OIL 5 Oil and natural gas exploration Th e oil industry is divided into two main categories, Development of geological models to upstream and downstream. Upstream includes such locate oil and natural gas prospects operations as exploration and production of crude Th e aim of a geological model is to locate potential oil and natural gas.

  • Annual Report 2008 Genocide in Which Six Million European Jews Were Exter- Minated
    We, women and men in public life, historians, intellectuals and people from all faiths, have come together to declare that the defence of values of justice and fraternity must overwhelm all obstacles to prevail over intolerance, racism and conflict. We say clearly that the Israelis and the Palestinians have a right to their own state, their own sovereignty and security and that any peace process with such aims must be supported. In the face of ignorance, prejudice and competing memories that we reject, we believe in the power of knowledge and the primacy of History. We there- fore affirm, beyond all political considerations, our deter- mination to defend historical truth, for no peace is built on lies.The Holocaust is a historical fact: the annual rePorT 2008 genocide in which six million European Jews were exter- minated. To deny this crime against humanity is not only an insult to the memory of the victims, but also an insult to the very idea of civilization. Hence, we believe that the teaching of this tragedy concerns all those who have at heart the will to prevent further genocides. The same requirement of truth calls on us to recall the actions of the Righteous in Europe and in the Arab and Muslim world. Together, we declare our common desire to promote a sincere dialogue, open and fraternal. It is in this spirit 10, avenue Percier that we have gathered around the Aladdin Project.

  • French Judaism Foundation Editorial Note from 1 the Chairman Message from 3 the Managing Director
    DEUX MILLE SEIZE ANNUAL REPORT TWO THOUSAND AND SIXTEEN French Judaism Foundation Editorial Note from 1 the Chairman Message from 3 the Managing Director 4 Moral report 12 Financial Report Sheltered Foundations 52 30 Grants This has once again been a year of contrasts, largely characterised by the intellectual and artistic vitality of our community, its renewed commitment and engagement with regard to solidarity, while standing firm in the face of widespread insecurity and fear. It is true, you may well say, that it is reflected in the very history of our people that we have learned over the centuries to live with joy and hope, as much as with fear and fatalism. Let us acknowledge this extraordinary resistance of the Jewish people who refuse to fall victim to the evil from which it remains under constant attack, always knowing to reach unto the depths of their inner strength, and draw upon their faith, and their humour, their immense creativity and self - sacrifice along with the commitment towards overcoming difficulties and violence and continuing to move forward, strong and united, towards their future. "Never giving up" could indeed be the philosophy that guides our actions at the Fondation du Judaïsme Français / French Judaism Foundation. It means: Not giving up when it is necessary to fight ceaselessly and at all times against the multi - dimensional anti - semitism that the Foundation has sought to gain a better understanding of and to measure with the help of a major study conducted by the Ipsos institute. Not giving up when it comes to defending the poorest, the most disadvantaged and vulnerable who have been marginalised and left behind, in spite of the economic crisis that has made every donation and gift more difficult to obtain.

We have worked to combat ignorance and hatred, denial and deceit, racism and anti-Semitism. Hatred of the Jew, hatred of the Muslim, hatred of the foreigner is intolerable: we say this in French, Arabic, English, Turkish and Persian. But our globalised and constantly changing society pressures us to act and react quickly, expecting to see immediately the results of our actions so that they can be widely communicated. Resisting this pace, resisting the desire to achieve everything at once and resisting the media’s tyranny means swimming against the flow: this is what we have decided to do. We are in this for the long haul, aware that knowledge needs to be learnt and prejudice vanquished; democracy has to be institutions, “friends of Aladdin” that I hope will constructed and respect for the Other acquired; increase even more so that we can achieve all the enlightenment is a gradual process.

Rudi Rizman Medkulturni dialog kot sredstvo preprečevanja konfliktov na primeru islamskih skupnosti v izbranih evropskih državah Magistrsko delo Ljubljana, 2014 POVZETEK Medkulturni dialog kot sredstvo preprečevanja konfliktov na primeru islamskih skupnosti v izbranih evropskih državah O muslimanih v Evropi se intenzivno govori po terorističnem napadu 11. septembra 2001 v ZDA, napadu v Madridu leta 2004, Londonu leta 2005, nemirih v francoskih predmestjih istega leta in po protestih zaradi karikatur preroka Mohameda. Islam je zaradi omenjenih dogodkov postal sinonim za nasilje, terorizem in zatiranje žensk, kar vpliva na položaj muslimanov, ki predstavljajo največjo manjšino v Evropi. Skupno jih v evropskih državah živi okoli 23 milijonov, velikokrat pa so podvrženi diskriminaciji, ki jim onemogoča popolno vključitev v družbo. Med muslimani je v primerjavi z večinskim delom prebivalstva višja brezposelnost, zasedajo manj kvalificirana delovna mesta, izobrazbena struktura je nižja, nimajo predstavnikov v politiki in so slabo organizirani. Pogosto so tudi tarča islamofobnih dejanj, kar še dodatno povečuje nezadovoljstvo v skupnosti in prispeva k njihovi radikalizaciji. Po drugi strani je med večinskim prebivalstvom opaziti porast nacionalizma, ki je najočitnejši v Franciji in Nemčiji. Zanemarjanje vprašanja ureditve položaja muslimanov bi v prihodnosti lahko pripeljalo do družbenega konflikta, če se evropske države ne bodo reševanja tega vprašanja lotile resneje. Konflikt, ki grozi Evropi, ni posledica verske pripadnosti in islama, temveč predvsem socialno-ekonomskega položaja muslimanov, ki je zaradi diskriminacije in nestrpnosti slabši od položaja večinskega prebivalstva.
