The Council took note of the information supplied
by the Presidency on arrangements for the European Council meeting
in Turin on 29 March 1996 and on progress with preparations
for the Intergovernmental Conference.
The Presidency considered in particular that the
European Council should adopt conclusions focusing on the major
topics for the IGC as identified by the Reflection Group. Bilateral
talks were currently under way between the Presidency and the
Member States to prepare such conclusions.
The Presidency also put forward as a guide a schedule of meetings of the Conference at the level of Ministers and their Representatives for the period up to June 1996.
KEDO (Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organisation)
The Council, following the conclusions reached by
the European Council on 16 December 1995 that the European
Union should participate in KEDO under conditions to be negotiated,
reiterated by the Transatlantic Agenda signed in December 1995,
agreed the following elements:
1. In accordance with KEDO objectives, the European
Union will join in this international action of great significance
in the field of nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear safety by
contributing to the financing and supply of:
- interim energy alternatives in the DPRK,
- means existing within the European Union in the
scientific, industrial and technological field.
2. To that end, the Union will rapidly determine
the appropriate conditions for a substantial financial contribution
by the EU to that initiative.
3. Given the need to give concrete expression to
the abovementioned decision on the occasion of the Europe-Asia
Summit in March 1996, an immediate contribution of ECU 5 million
will be announced in Bangkok.
4. Simultaneously, on the basis of a mandate to be
defined, consultations will be opened with the founding members
of KEDO in order to:
- address the questions connected with future participation,
- in this context obtain a satisfactory status with
regard to the KEDO organization corresponding with the EU effort.
It will be made sure that the Community and its
Member States will not be held liable for any injury, loss or
damage resulting from the activities and missions of KEDO.
5. The necessary funds for the immediate contribution of ECU 5 million will be charged to the general budget of the European Communities for 1996 (CFSP reserve).
The Council put the finishing touches to preparation
of the European Union position for the EuropeAsia meeting
in Bangkok on 1 and 2 March 1996 and instructed senior
officials to continue preparatory talks with the Asian side on
that basis.
The Council reiterated the Union's interest in cooperation
in the Baltic region. It took note of the preparations under
way for the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the
Baltic Sea Council to be held in Visby (Sweden) on 3 and 4 May 1996.
The Swedish delegation, currently holding the Presidency
of the Baltic Sea Council, briefed Ministers on the topics to
be discussed at the Visby Conference.
The Commission briefed the Council on progress with the regional cooperation initiative which it was currently preparing in response to the call by the European Council, meeting in Madrid, which expressed the Union's interest in promoting stability and economic development in the region. The Commission would be presenting that initiative at the Visby Conference and would subsequently report back to the Europe Council in Florence.
The Council reviewed the main points still outstanding
as regards negotiating directives for a new agreement with Mexico.
These included the precise framing of the objective of the agreement
and the procedures for implementing that objective.
It should be noted that the negotiation of a new
political, economic and trade agreement comes in response to the
joint solemn declaration signed by the EU and Mexico in Paris
on 2 March 1995 and the Madrid European Council conclusions
calling, in addition to a political dialogue, in particular for
the progressive, reciprocal liberalization of trade in goods and
services and of investment, having due regard to the sensitiveness
of certain products and in accordance with relevant WTO rules.
At the end of discussions, the Council instructed
the Permanent Representatives Committee to take the matter forward
in the light of today's discussions and with the intention of
coming to a conclusion at the earliest opportunity.
The Council discussed in detail the problems still
arising with regard to the adoption of supplementary directives
for negotiations with South Africa, aimed at the establishment
of a freetrade area compatible with WTO rules.
It had before it for the purpose a package put forward
by the Presidency, which was regarded as a very sound basis on
which to arrive at an overall compromise.
At the end of discussions, the Council instructed the Permanent Representatives Committee to complete drafting work on the negotiating directives in the firm resolve that they should be adopted swiftly, at the latest at the next General Affairs Council meeting, on 25 and 26 March 1996.
Further to its conclusions of 29 January 1996,
the Council appointed Mr Aldo AJELLO as the European
Union's special envoy for the African Great Lakes region with
immediate effect, for a sixmonth period. Some administrative
and financial aspects of his assignment had still to be spelt
out under a joint action.
Mr AJELLO's first task would be to attend, at the
OAU's invitation, the second meeting of the committee monitoring
implementation of the action plan adopted by the regional conference
on assistance for refugees, returnees and displaced persons in
the Great Lakes region, held in Bujumbura in February 1995.
That meeting was to be held at the end of the week in Addis Ababa
and would be attended by the former President of Tanzania, Julius
1. The European Union reaffirms its full commitment
to and support for the peace process in former Yugoslavia, both
politically and in the context of international efforts to achieve
economic rehabilitation. On the basis of a report from the Presidency,
the Council examined the current stage of the peace process following
the Rome Conference on 17 and 18 February 1996. It
adopted the declaration on former Yugoslavia in the Annex hereto.
The peace agreement signed in Paris in December 1995 and consolidated in Rome in February 1996 opens the prospect of starting a process for ensuring lasting stability and good-neighbourly relations in the region. Compliance with and implementation of the peace agreement by the parties are preconditions for the development of cooperation. In this context the Council conclusions of 30 October 1995 remain fully applicable.
2. Further to those conclusions, the Commission submitted
a report on the prospects for the development of cooperation between
the countries of former Yugoslavia in the context of a broad approach
to the region's future, and what the European Community and its
Member States could do to foster such cooperation. The Council
considers that the report will provide a very useful basis for
the initiatives the Union will be called upon to take.
3. The regional approach should be directed primarily
at those countries of the region for which the European Community
has not adopted directives for the negotiation of association
agreements. Neighbouring countries which so wish should be able
to be associated in the cooperation by appropriate means.
Implementation of the broad approach, which must
be carefully prepared through direct contacts between the European
Union and the countries of the region, will be part of a gradual
consolidation of peace. With this in mind, the agreements with
each of the countries concerned must be designed as a substantial
incentive to political stability and as an instrument for economic
development and cooperation between them, between those countries
and their neighbours, and with the European Union.
The agreements must be consistent, while taking
account of the special nature of each country's individual situation.
It must be clear that conclusion of these agreements will depend
on the willingness of the countries concerned to work towards
consolidating peace and to respect human rights, the rights of
minorities and democratic principles.
Application of the agreements will be subject, particularly where economic cooperation is concerned, to the readiness of each of the countries concerned to cooperate with its neighbours. They will have to undertake to adopt reciprocal measures, particularly regarding the free movement of goods and persons and the provision of services, and to develop projects of common interest. Through this regional approach, financial aid from the European Union could be oriented towards jointly defined and cross-border projects.
4. Reconstruction in the countries of former Yugoslavia
concerned is a way of supporting stable and harmonious economic
development in the region. In view of its immediate needs, Bosnia-Herzegovina
requires priority attention and a significant effort of rehabilitation
before the elections, for the benefit of all ethnic groups. Without
waiting for the outcome of the Donors' Conference, aid for the
rehabilitation of BosniaHerzegovina - the bulk of which
is currently being provided by the European Union - should be
stepped up, as a supplement to Community programmes, to meet pressing
needs, especially everything required to facilitate the resettlement
of refugees and displaced persons.
It is thus important for the forthcoming Donors'
Conference to assess how far the firstquarter pledges made
at the December meeting have materialized, and for it to release
the contributions for Bosnia-Herzegovina needed in 1996. In the
coming weeks, the Community and its Member States will generally
coordinate their efforts vis-à-vis the other donors in
order to secure an equitable distribution of the burden.
Since reconstruction aid will be deployed through a number of multilateral and bilateral channels, its effectiveness - inter alia in fostering regional cooperation - will depend very much on how well the Commission and the Member States coordinate amongst themselves, and with the other donors and the World Bank. The Council notes that the Commission intends to keep it regularly briefed on the progress on the ground of Community operations, which will have to cover all devastated regions, including Eastern Slavonia.
5. The question of refugees and displaced persons
is a key factor in the gradual consolidation of peace in the region.
The Council emphasizes that it is important to cooperate closely
with the UNHCR, which has a leading role in this field, and for
the Community and its Member States to define a concerted position
on how to encourage the return of refugees and displaced persons
to their places of origin, including the readmission of nationals,
in a humane manner based on the principles set out by the UN High
Commissioner for Refugees. On this basis the European Union will
be able to respond promptly and constructively to the detailed
plan which the UNHCR is preparing to submit. It will ensure that
humanitarian aid is closely coordinated with efforts to assist
6. The Union reiterates its support for the disarmament
negotiations taking place in Vienna under Annex I/B to the Dayton/Paris
agreements. In view, also, of the need to ensure that the peace
process is implemented and that the security of the international
troops and civilian personnel deployed on the ground is safeguarded,
the Union considers that a policy of moderation on the part of
armsexporting countries will be needed even once the arms
embargo on the states of former Yugoslavia, stipulated in UN Resolution
No 1021, has been lifted. To that end the Council has adopted
the common position on arms exports to former Yugoslavia annexed
The Council held an exchange of views on action
to be taken on the declaration adopted at Royaumont on 13 December
1995 on the process of stability and goodneighbourly relations
in South Eastern Europe. It approved the annexed platform, particularly
with regard to the holding of an identification meeting bringing
together all participants in the process, and considered that
this approach was likely to make a useful contribution to the
peace process in former Yugoslavia.
The President of the International War Crimes Tribunal on the former Yugoslavia, Professor Cassese, reported to the Council on the most recent developments regarding the Tribunal's activities. The Council assured him of the Union's support and, in particular, agreed on the need to keep up pressure on all parties concerned to cooperate fully and unconditionally with the Tribunal on the basis of the commitments given under the peace agreements.
7. In conclusion, the Council
- calls on the Commission to prepare, within the
framework of the future UNHCR plan, projects to facilitate the
return of refugees and displaced persons by initial rehabilitation
efforts in their places of origin;
- calls on the Presidency and the Commission, in
cooperation with the High Representative, to make political representations
at the earliest opportunity on the basis of the approach in point 4
above to third-country donors to ensure that the next Ministerial
Donors' Conference is completely successful; Member States will
support these representations in their own contacts;
- calls on the Presidency and the Commission to
take all appropriate initiatives to acquaint the States concerned
with the content of the broad approach to the region's future
and to report to the Council before the end of June. In due course
the Commission will prepare draft negotiating directives, on the
basis of these guidelines, so that negotiations can then begin
with all the countries concerned which accept this broad approach
and meet the requisite conditions;
- calls on the Presidency to promote the policy
of moderation as regards arms exports to the former Yugoslavia,
which is the subject of the common position adopted by the Council
on the establishment of a stable military balance based on the
lowest possible level of arms;
- calls on the Presidency and the Commission to
initiate contacts with all participants, on the basis of the platform
for the development of the process of stability and goodneighbourly
relations in South Eastern Europe, in preparation for the holding
of an "identification meeting", and to submit a report
to the next Council meeting;
- has decided that a joint mission will be undertaken by the European Special Envoy and the Presidency's Coordinator for Mostar, with the aim of studying the recommendations of the European Administrator on the future of the Administration of Mostar.
The European Union warmly welcomes the results of
the compliance Conference on Bosnia and Herzegovina held on 17-18
February in Rome. It expresses its satisfaction at the renewed
commitment of the parties to respect fully their obligations as
regards both the military and the civilian aspects of the peace
process. It welcomes the support given by the parties concerned
to the Rome statement on Sarajevo, as well as the agreement reached
on the speedy implementation of the Croat-Muslim Federation and
the joint statement of President Tudjman and President Milosevic
on the normalization of relations between the Republic of Croatia
and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The Union expects all the parties to give full and
prompt effect to the commitments they have undertaken. It recalls
its often stated position, notably as regards the criteria of
conditionality for the granting of reconstruction assistance and
longer term measures, as well as for the definition of future
agreements with the countries of the area. In the event of non-compliance
by any of the parties with their commitments in the Peace Agreement
or undertakings at the Rome Summit, the EU in consultation with
the international community will consider taking specific measures
in response.
The Union calls in particular on the Bosnian Serb
side to continue full contacts and cooperation with IFOR and the
High Representative and to ensure its participation in all joint
commissions, as well as in the Vienna negotiations on sub-regional
arms control.
Concerning Sarajevo, the Union expresses its full
support for the efforts of the High Representative aimed to promote
reconciliation and to preserve the multi-ethnic character of the
city. It deplores the exodus and the pressure that led to it
and expects the Bosnian Government and the Bosnian Serb authorities
to take all necessary steps to increase confidence so as to induce
the Serb citizens of Sarajevo to remain in the Bosnian capital
in order to participate in the process of reconciliation and reconstruction.
The European Union expresses particular satisfaction
with the Rome agreement on Mostar of 18 February. This agreement
opens the way to the full achievement of the objectives of the
European Administration, to which the Union remains strongly dedicated.
The Union welcomes the implementation of those provisions related
to the initial deployment of the unified police force and the
entering into force of the freedom of movement. The Union calls
on the parties to abide also by all the other obligations arising
from the Rome agreement and to fully respect all the decisions
of the EU Administrator, to whom it confirms its strong support,
and to fully guarantee his security. The European Union asks
the EU Administrator to continue his activities aiming at achieving
the objectives set out in the Washington and Rome agreements,
in particular, the holding of democratic elections in May.
The Council has with regret taken note of Mr Koschnick's
resignation from his office as EU Administrator and welcomes
his agreement to stay on until a successor has been nominated.
Compliance with the Rome agreements will be considered an essential element in the definition of the Union's future relations with each of the parties concerned. The European Union takes note of the request of the parties to prolong for six months the mandate of the EU administration. It will consider such a request in due course, not least in the light of the behaviour of the parties towards the implementation of the Washington and Rome agreements and the achievement of the objectives of the EU administration.
COMMON POSITION concerning arms exports to
the former Yugoslavia
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and
in particular Article J.2 thereof,
Having regard to Resolution No 1021 adopted
on 22 November 1995 by the United Nations Security Council,
Whereas the European Community and its Member States
decided on 5 July 1991 to impose an embargo on armaments
and military equipment applicable to the whole of Yugoslavia,
1. With a view to establishing peace and stability
for the people of the region of the former Yugoslavia, and in
particular taking into account the need to ensure the safety of
the international troops and civilian personnel deployed in Bosnia
and Herzegovina and Croatia during the implementation of the peace
agreement, the European Union believes that restraint on the part
of exporting countries will be needed even after the UN arms embargo
on the States of the former Yugoslavia is lifted in accordance
with UN Security Council Resolution No 1021.
2. The Council of the European Union therefore decides
(i) during the period of the deployment of IFOR
and UNTAES, as well as other operations including IPTF, the EU
embargo on arms, munitions and military equipment () will
be maintained towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Transfers of equipment needed for demining activities are not covered by this embargo. Member States will inform the Council of these transfers;
(ii) subject to the provisions of UN Security Council Resolution No 1021 () licence applications for exports to Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) shall be considered on a casebycase basis.
This provision is adopted on the understanding
that the Member States will show restraint in their arms export
policy toward Slovenia and the former Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)
based on the common criteria for arms exports contained in the
28 and 29 June 1991 Luxembourg European Council
and the 26 and 27 June 1992 Lisbon European Council
conclusions. They will also take into account the objectives
of the European Union policy in the region, fundamentally aimed
at pacification and stabilization in the area, including the need
for arms control and reduction to the lowest level and confidence
building measures;
(iii) the European Union will deploy efforts to
encourage other countries to adopt a similar policy of restraint.
3. This common position shall be reexamined before
the end of the deployment of IFOR and UNTAES.
4. This common position shall enter into force on
13 March 1996.
5. This common position shall be published in the
Official Journal.
Process of stability and good-neighbourly relations in South-Eastern Europe:
Platform for the development of the process
for possible submission to all participants
The process of stability and good-neighbourly relations
in South-Eastern Europe is to be seen in relation to the peace
plan for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in particular takes as its
reference the outcome of the mid-term review conference to be
held in Rome in June.
The initiative could be incorporated into the wider
context of regional cooperation, as approved by the Council on
29 January 1996.
The process is in no sense a roundabout attempt to
reconstitute the former Yugoslavia, nor is it intended to deal
with the questions at the heart of the conflict, i.e. minorities
and frontiers.
The process offers an all-embracing approach which
avoids the obstacle in order better to overcome it. In addition,
implementation of the process must not provide the FRY with a
pretext for raising the question of its place in the OSCE.
1. Object of the exercise
The process inaugurated at Royaumont calls for a joint and continuing effort to strengthen stability and good-neighbourliness in South-East Europe. More specifically, it should try to contribute to reducing the tensions arising from the conflict and preventing a resumption of hostilities, promote a better understanding that it is in the interest of each party to cooperate rather than to try systematically to put obstacles in the way of any undertaking by a neighbour, contribute to restoring confidence and dialogue, and overcome ethnic divisions and hatreds.
2. Interaction with the peace plan
The process of stability:
- follows a path parallel to the peace plan, the
implementation of which it endeavours to facilitate by encouraging
the parties to take a step back from the present situation and
widen their horizons;
- endeavours to add to and accompany the provisions
of the peace plan and prolong its effects, by helping to reduce
tensions and encourage a return to normality. In this way it
does not in any way interfere with the peace plan's provisions
and in no way diminishes the obligations undertaken by the parties.
On the contrary, it is designed to fit in with the political
and time framework of the peace plan's implementation, on the
basis in particular of the outcome of the mid-term review conference
at the beginning of June.
3. Incorporation into the OSCE
In accordance with the Royaumont declaration, it
is envisaged that the process will be incorporated into the OSCE
as soon as all the relevant details have been precisely laid down.
The OSCE was present at Royaumont and is also invited
to forthcoming meetings. Greater emphasis could be placed on
its presence if it were entrusted now with the task of acting
as secretariat for the group, to keep track of the activities
and projects which it will initiate, and receive new proposals.
4. Scope
This at present coincides with the field covered
by the peace agreements. Stabilization efforts thus concern above
all Bosnia and Herzegovina and the immediately adjacent area.
They must be applied to the situations and questions resulting
from the conflict which broke out in 1991 in the SFRY.
5. Status of participants
As the Royaumont declaration states, "all States
of the region will be represented on an equal footing".
Thus no hierarchy or distinction should be introduced between
participants. The list of participants will be drawn up in alphabetical
Each participating State or organization is involved
as a result of its situation with regard to the problems being
considered and is required to contribute to the exercise in accordance
with its wishes and capacities.
6. Accompanying measures
As in the Pact on Stability in Europe, accompanying measures will be introduced to finance good-neighbourliness and regional cooperation projects.
7. Identification meeting
Signals which have been received since the signing
of the peace plan are an encouragement to go ahead and give practical
content to the provisions set out at Royaumont. An "identification
meeting" could be held to this end, bringing together all
the States and organizations present at the Royaumont meeting
(see list below), represented by senior officials concerned with
political and European affairs or relations with neighbouring
States, at a date and time to be decided. The purpose of the
meeting would be to develop the discussion begun in Paris, on
12 December 1995, on the nature and scope of the exercise, to
identify the topics to be reflected on, determine practical initiatives
which could be taken in coming months on the basis of the content
of this platform, and examine the possibility of a follow-up to
these initiatives in terms of a timetable to be kept to.
At the meeting the participants could in particular
draw up a preliminary list and a preliminary timetable for regional
and interprofessional meetings which might be organized in the
hoped-for spirit, and adopt an initial group of specific projects
envisaged by the Member States to be proposed by the Commission
as accompanying measures.
8. Possible content
At this stage, the following possibilities should
be explored:
- Progressive restoration of the movement of people
and ideas, in particular relating to information;
- Organization of regional meetings, restoration
of dialogue between different elements of society (intellectuals,
journalists, religious figures);
- Provisions to ban propaganda promoting aggression;
- Relaunching regional, cultural, scientific and
technical cooperation;
- Initial identification of specific cross-border
- Cooperation in re-establishing civil society,
especially in areas of justice and administration (conjointly
with the programmes developed by the Council of Europe).
List of participants invited to the "identification
Albania, Federal Republic of Germany, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Council of Europe, Denmark, United States of America,
France, Greece, Italy/European Union, FYROM, OSCE (Presidency,
Secretary-General and HCNM), Portugal, Russian Federation, Sweden,
FRY, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Spain, Finland, United
Kingdom, Ireland, Hungary, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Romania,
Slovenia, Turkey.
The Council approved the EU positions for the 2nd
Association Council meeting with Romania (see press release UERO 1802/96
Presse 35) and the 2nd Association Council meeting with Slovakia
(see press release UESK 2003/96 Presse 34), which
were held on the morning of 27 February 1996.
The topics on the agenda for the two meetings were
as follows: preaccession strategy in the light of the Madrid
European Council conclusions, the state of bilateral relations
under the Europe Agreements and regional cooperation.
In preparation for the structured dialogue meeting
of Ministers for Foreign Affairs with the associated CCEE scheduled
for 27 February 1996, the Council agreed to the position
to be put forward by the EU at that meeting.
The joint ministerial meeting with the nine associated
CCEE was held on the morning of 27 February 1996. Discussions
covered possible improvements in structured dialogue ministerial
meetings at sectoral level, the situation in the former Yugoslavia
and the 1996 Intergovernmental Conference.
With regard to improvement of the structured dialogue,
the European Union put forward practical proposals along the lines
laid down by the European Council in Essen. The basic idea was
to enable the Ministers for Foreign Affairs to form an overview
of the work to be carried out in sectoral meetings, with greater
involvement of the associated countries.
The aim was to establish an indicative overall planning framework for proceedings over a period spanning two Presidencies, with the discussion topics to be addressed by sectoral meetings being limited and clearly pinned down. In order for the ministerial meetings to be able to take the form of a genuine dialogue conducted on the basis of reference material available to all delegations, the Commission was asked to draw up factual background documents to serve as a basis for discussions. The Council Presidency would endeavour to make more clearly targeted concluding remarks at the end of each meeting.
Those suggestions were welcomed by the associated
countries, on the understanding that these points were open to
review in the light of experience.
With regard to the situation in former Yugoslavia,
Susanna Agnelli briefed the CCEE in particular on the outcome
of the Council's discussions the previous day (pages 9 to
18). A wideranging exchange of views ensued, in which the
CCEE generally endorsed the Union's approach. With particular
reference to arms exports to former Yugoslavia, a number of delegations
gave their backing straight away to the common position adopted
by the Union in this respect (see the declaration below).
On the Intergovernmental Conference, the Presidency
briefed the CCEE, over lunch, in particular on arrangements for
the European Council meeting in Turin on 29 March 1996
and on progress with preparations for the IGC. It also assured
the associated countries that they would be kept in touch with
progress at the Conference and would have a chance to put forward
their views.
The European Union and the associated countries of
Central and Eastern Europe, meeting in Brussels on 27 February
1996 in the framework of the structured dialogue, reaffirm their
goal of making a decisive contribution towards ensuring the establishment
of peace and stability for the people of the region of the former
To this end:
- The European Union invited the associated countries
of Central and Eastern Europe to share the objectives of the common
position defined by the Council of the European Union on 26 February 1996
on the basis of Article J.2 of the Treaty on European Union concerning
arms exports to the former Yugoslavia, and to ensure that their
national policies conform to that common position; Estonia, Hungary,
Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia declared their readiness
to do so.
- The European Union takes note of this undertaking
and welcomes it; it recalls that the Council Presidency has
been invited to promote the policy of moderation as regards arms
exports to the former Yugoslavia, which is the object of the above
common position, with the aim of establishing a stable military
equilibrium at the lowest possible level of armaments.
The Council took note of information from the Netherlands
delegation, as the only Member State not yet to have ratified
the Decision on own resources, on progress with the procedure
under way in the Netherlands parliament: the lower house had already
given its agreement in December 1995 and the upper house
should be completing ratification very shortly.
The Council approved the outcome of negotiations,
as reported by the Commission, for:
- the EuroMediterranean Agreement establishing
an association between the European Union and its Member States
and the Kingdom of Morocco, and
- the Agreement on cooperation in sea fisheries between
the European Community and the Kingdom of Morocco.
It decided to sign the Agreements, which was done
on 26 February 1996 alongside the Council meeting (see
CEMaroc 2701/96 Presse 46).
It also sought the European Parliament's assent to the Agreements in question.
The European Union strongly condemns the shooting
down of two civilian aircraft on Saturday by the Cuban airforce.
It regrets the deaths of the four people on board the aircraft
and calls for moderation and restraint from all involved in the
handling of this incident.
The EU requests that an immediate investigation be
carried out in order to ascertain the details and responsibilities
in this case.
Irrespective of the circumstances of the incident, there can be no excuse for not respecting international law and human rights norms.
The European Union expresses its revulsion at the
criminal and cowardly attacks perpetrated on 25 February in Jerusalem
and Ashqelon. It condemns in the strongest terms these acts of
terrorism. It sends its sincere condolences to the families of
the victims and to the Government and people of Israel and expresses
its hopes for the recovery of the wounded.
Decisive action is required by everybody who is in
a position to control or combat the terrorist elements opposed
to the Peace Process. The European Union acknowledges the efforts
which the Palestian Authority and President Arafat have already
made to combat terrorism, but urges on them the need to make them
more effective and to step up their action in this regard in line
with the Oslo Agreements.
At this sad moment, the European Union reaffirms its conviction and hope that those in favour of the Peace Process will continue to take it forward. Otherwise they will play into the hands of the criminals who have committed these and previous attacks and those who oppose the Peace Process. The European Union pays tribute to all those courageous leaders who have chosen the way of dialogue and peace and are upholding it and reaffirms its full support for them.
(Adopted without discussion. In the case of legislative
acts, any votes against or abstentions are indicated. Decisions
involving any statements which the Council has decided may be
released to the public are marked with an asterisk; the statements
in question may be obtained from the Press Office.)
Corn gluten feed
The Council amended Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87
on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs
Tariff in response to the annulment by the Court of Justice on
14 December 1995 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1641/94;
the purpose of the amendment is to create a new tariff heading
for corn gluten feed as defined in the Blair House Agreement.
India and Pakistan: textile product access
The Council decided to conclude Memoranda of Understanding
on arrangements in the area of market access for textile products
between the EC and India and between the EC and Pakistan.
Negotiations on the Memoranda of Understanding were
opened by the Community with India and Pakistan under the Uruguay
Round but were not completed in time for inclusion in the final
package adopted in Marrakesh on 15 April 1994. The
Commission therefore continued negotiations after that date and
was able to initial Memoranda of Understanding with Pakistan on
15 October 1994 and with India on 31 December 1994.
For technical, notably linguistic, reasons, the proposal for
a Decision on the conclusion of the Memoranda of Understanding
was not submitted to the Council until December 1995.
Under the Memoranda of Understanding, the import tariffs imposed by India and Pakistan are to be reduced and all quantitative restrictions abolished. In return, restrictions on imports into the Community of handwoven products will be removed and the adjustments requested by India and Pakistan in the administration of quotas (carryovers, transfers between categories and advance use) will be given careful consideration.
Uzbekistan: partnership agreement
The Council agreed to the Commission's recommendation
for the opening of negotiations with Uzbekistan for a partnership
and cooperation agreement on the basis of the negotiating directives
drawn up in 1992.
The Commission's recommendation follows its exploratory
talks with Uzbekistan on the basis of the Council conclusions
of 12 June 1995 with particular regard to the progress
of democratic reforms.
Switzerland: mutual assistance in customs matters
The Council authorized the Commission to negotiate
with Switzerland an amendment to the FreeTrade Agreement
of 22 July 1977 in order to add a new Protocol on mutual
assistance in customs matters.
Canary Islands: derogation from antidumping
The Council amended Regulation (EEC) No 1602/92
temporarily derogating from implementation of Community antidumping
measures on imports into the Canary Islands of certain sensitive
products. That Regulation initially involved total exemption
from payment of antidumping duties, moving on to phase them
in over an intermediate stage culminating in their collection
in full as from 1 January 2000.
The purpose of the amendment made is, in substance,
to allow Canary traders a further year to adjust to the new tariff
arrangements being introduced, by rescheduling the special arrangements
for antidumping duties within the transitional period ending
on 31 December 2000.
Contractual netting*
At the end of the codecision procedure, the
Council unanimously adopted the Directive amending Directive 89/647/EEC
as regards recognition of contractual netting by the competent
The Directive as adopted includes an amendment proposed by the European Parliament on 14 December 1995 to the common position adopted by the Council on 5 September 1995, making transposition of the Directive compulsory in Member States.
The purpose of the amendment of Directive 89/647/EEC
on a solvency ratio for credit institutions is to incorporate
into Community legislation the outcome of work in the Basle Committee
on Banking Supervision with regard to the recognition, in calculating
capital adequacy requirements, of a greater number of forms of
bilateral netting.
Netting is a kind of contractual clearing agreed
between a bank and its counterparty (e.g. another bank) so
as to calculate, at the end of a given period, the funds payable
to either of them as a result of numerous transactions between
them. It gives rise either to a new credit extinguishing earlier
contracts or to a net sum payable by the debtor. Such clearing
serves to reduce the risk attaching to credit institutions' derivatives
Supervision of EDU activities
The Council approved some arrangements for supervision
of the Europol Drugs Unit's activities. As such supervision comes
within its sphere, the Council is to give guidance for EDU activities,
approve them and, if need be, amend them on the basis of discussions
taking place in particular within the Europol Working Party or
specific subgroups.
Report on the Europol computer system
The Council approved a report on the Europol computer
system. The report states that the initial stage of planning
the Europol computer system is now under way and it contains arrangements
envisaged for running the project in 1996. The Council also approved
the additional appropriations proposed for the budget for 1996.
Implementation of the computer system project, which should take about two years, is crucially important for the actual startup of Europol after ratification. In the first year it will require funding of up to ECU 1,4 million, this being new money in addition to the EDU budget already approved for 1996, which was established to cover EDU daytoday needs only.
Proceedings by the Council against the European
Parliament: SAB No 1/95
The Council decided to withdraw the second proceedings
brought by it for annulment of supplementary and amending budget
No 1 for 1995, which became unnecessary following the declaration
of final adoption of the budget for 1995, of which the Council
was informed in the European Parliament's letter of 31 January 1996.
Committee on monetary, financial and balance
of payments statistics
The Council amended Decision 91/115/EEC establishing
a Committee on monetary, financial and balance of payments statistics,
in order to enable the European Monetary Institute to take part
in the Committee's proceedings.
Directive on textile names and Directive
on certain methods for the quantitative analysis of binary textile
fibre mixtures
The Council agreed to common positions on the:
- Directive on textile names;
- Directive on certain methods for the quantitative
analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures.
The common positions will be forwarded to the European
Parliament under the codecision procedure (Article 189b
of the Treaty).
The purpose of the Directive on textile names is
to consolidate, for the sake of clarity and rationalization, Directive 71/307/EEC
of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to textile names, as repeatedly and
substantially amended.
The Directive on certain methods for the quantitative
analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures is intended to consolidate
Directive 72/276/EEC of 17 July 1972 on the approximation
of the relevant laws of the Member States, as also repeatedly
The aim, in practice, is to ensure the proper operation of the internal market and to adapt legislation to technical progress in this field.
UNCTAD IX: guidelines for the EU's basic position
The Council agreed to the guidelines for the EU's
basic position on the agenda for the United Nations Conference
on Trade and Development (9th session), to be held in Midrand,
South Africa, from 27 April to 11 May 1996.
The Conference agenda topics are as follows:
- development policies and strategies in an increasingly interdependent world economy in the 1990s and beyond:
= assessment of the development problem in the current context;
= policies and strategies for the future;
- promoting international trade as an instrument for development in the postUruguayRound world;
- promoting enterprise development and competitiveness in developing countries and countries in transition;
- future work of UNCTAD in accordance with its mandate:
institutional implications.
The Council gave its assent, under Article 56(2)(a)
of the ECSC Treaty, to the granting of global loans to the
following financial institutions:
- Banco de Fomento e Exterior (global loan No 626);
- Bank of Scotland (global loan No 660);
- Commerzbank AG (global loan No 664);
- Saarländische Investitionsbank (global loan No 668);

- Österreichische Investitionskredit AG (global loan No 674);

- Barclays Bank (global loan No 662);
- Westdeutsche Landesbank (global loan No 666);
- BfG Bank AG (global loan No 670);
- Kredietbank SA (global loan No 680).
Transport: driving licences
Following political agreement at its meeting on 7 December 1995
(see press release 12302/95 Presse 357, page 7),
the Council formally adopted its common position for the amendment
of Directive 91/439/EEC on driving licences.
Research: Agreement with Canada
The Council approved the Agreement for Scientific
and Technological Cooperation between the European Community and
The Agreement, already signed by the Commission on behalf of the Community on 17 June 1995, is for an indefinite period and covers the following fields in particular:
- agriculture and fisheries;
- medical and health research;
- nonnuclear energy;

RELEASED: Jan. 19, 2006
EAU CLAIRE — Campus and community organizations and programs will offer service opportunities to University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students, faculty and staff, and the public during the Community Action Day and Service-Learning Fair, set for Thursday, Feb. 2.
People who wish to offer their time and efforts to area service organizations on a voluntary basis will have a chance to explore such opportunities at the event, which will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Council Fire Room of Davies Center.
A number of the represented agencies provide opportunities that enable students to receive university credit or to fulfill the university's service-learning requirement through the Community Action and Lifelong Learning Program and the Service-Learning Office.
"The emphasis of Community Action Day and Service-Learning Fair is on working in the greater Chippewa Valley for the benefit of both the community and the individual volunteer," said Paula Stuettgen, student development coordinator and coordinator of the CALL program.
"Through service, the individual learns more about the community and helps fill an identifiable need," Stuettgen said. "The university places an emphasis on service to the community as a way of practicing the theories and methods learned in the classroom. Learning through action is the key."
CALL also publishes an annual directory and a bi-monthly newsletter which list service opportunities and job descriptions to help put individuals and organizations in touch with community agencies in need of volunteers. The Web site contains the most current information regarding agency listings.
For copies of publications and more information about the event, contact the Activities and Programs office, Davies Center 133, (715) 836-4833.

Candy Creatures: Sweet and Edible Halloween Food Decorations
Get creative with Halloween candy this year. Martha Stewart offers some ideas to help you craft incredibly sweet creatures to serve. Plus, add some of these gross-looking Halloween recipes to your menu.
Skull Pop
To make a skeleton head, you'll need two regular marshmallows. With scissors, cut one marshmallow widthwise to expose stickiness and make pieces for the head and jaw. Poke holes with a toothpick to make sticky spots for eyes, teeth, and nose. Poke white candy-coated licorice pastels into jaw for teeth, and press in black licorice drops for eyes. Snip a piece of black licorice twist into a small triangle for the nose, and press into place. Poke a few times with the toothpick into marshmallows to make a large hole for a candy stick. Push candy stick into hole, through jaw, and into skull. Wrap in cellophane bag if desired.

1995 Mazda MX-5 Miata M-Edition Review
Reliable, fun, great gas mileage. Great looking and love those pop up lights.
While it is waterproof, I don't like driving it in heavy rain.
A True Sportcar But Affordable And Reliable. Who Could Ask For More. — Great car. My second Miata and like the first it has never let me down. Fun to drive--except in heavy rain. Feels faster than it is, beautiful to look at,fun to drive and cheap to maintain. Perfect car
Primary Use: Commuting to work

Automatic transmission (buy it with a 5 speed)

1995 Mazda MX-5 Miata Base Review
Agile, fun, dependable top-down motoring.
Smallish - for those that care about such things.
My Mazda Miatas — Perfectly weight-balanced, double wishbones front/rear, 4-wheel discs, incredible handling and a drop-top. I look for any excuse to drive mine. Add a high-performance suspension, grippy tires and an aggressive alignment and you've got a track monster. Add forced induction or a V8 and you've got a street/race track monster.

price, handling,
limited storage
Fun For Under $7000 — It handles great. No annoying little build quality problems. If you push it it won't scare you, slides are easy to do without spinning out. I autocross it and it is a cheap way to get into motorsports. Just gas, oil, and new tires twice a year. It takes the abuse in stride i've repaired nothing in a year of ownership. i need to replace the timing belt but that is ok after 85000 miles. It isn't bad on fuel economy either. 28 in town and 29 at 70 mph, my only complaint is that at 70 you are around 3500 rpm. It could do 30+ mpg if i could lower the revs. It even rides pretty well and fits my 6'1" 200+lbs brother with leg room to spare.

Fun car, low maintenance, great looks, good gas milage
95 Miata Base — Even though this Miata was a base model, I still really enjoyed the car. It was a basic car but it actually added to the driving experiance making it a simplestic joy to drive. It had great handling and was so easy to drive hard or just cruise with the top down.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

Looks and performance
(not really sucks, because this is the design of ANY sports car, but...) storage room.
Mazda Miata, An Adult Toy. — Had this car almost seven years. I loved every minute of it, did several key modifications and style upgrades. Always preformed well and looked right smart doing it. She was the perfect mid life crisis car. Alas, She is no more. She gave her life valiantly protecting my Daughter and her Boy Friend from the ravages of a STUPID Soccer Mom in a Mini van who pulled out from a side street onto the state highway my Daughter was driving on.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

the handling and comfort
scary small but thats also a plus
The Miata — I love this car. I have not owned it long but i can totally unserstand why people deal with being made fun of in them. Its the greatest car i have owned to date and plan on doing many extreme yet subtle modifications to it in the near future.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

Just For Requirement — Great start for drifting, since the 240's have been sucked up from the face of the earth already. Plenty of power to the wheels, and sticks to the road like glue. A very fun car to drive, any day, anywhere.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

1995 Mazda MX-5 Miata Base Review
Stupid fast, reliable, and a complete sleeper
If you are insecure with your manhood and need a "manly" car, this one is not for you
Build One! You Won't Regret It!!! — Performance - Well with the 5.0L V8 under the hood, upgraded brakes, and aftermarket coil-overs and sway bars...the car accelerates, brakes and handles VERY well! Build Quality - It's ok...it's a 10 + year old car Appearance - Interior has been spruced up a bit, but is seats are showing their age. Exterior is much better now that I tore the car appart and painted the whole thing with a fresh coat of Brilliant Black. Cost of Ownership - Gas mileage is 20-25mpg, not bad for the power and fun. Maintenance is very easy to do and parts are cheap. Fun Factor - Hell yea...I don't think you could have more fun on four wheels!! Freak'n hillariously fun!!
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

This is a great dependable car and extraordinary money to fun ratio.
It's a sport car and most definitely not a family but who buys a Miata to haul bunch of groceries....?
Zoom-zoom — I got this car little over 15 years ago and immediately fell in love. There have not been any mechanical breakdowns on this high mileage machine (151, 000 so far). I have added a few inexpensive handling improvements (lowered shocks/springs, strut bar, sway bars front and rear, and new performance tires). These have brought the car alive! There have been a few more reconditioning items that I have added to make the ride more enjoyable but this car although not fast handles the mountains around California like nothing else! Lots of fun to be had while still doing less than jail worthy speeds. I love the first generation Miata.

The employment outlook for those in earth science positions is generally expected to be good through 2022. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts faster than average job growth for several earth science occupations during this period, due to a large number of expected retirements and the relatively low number of qualified earth science graduates entering the field. The American Geosciences Institute's (AGI) report titled Status of the Workforce 2011 reported the same information. According to the report, U.S. colleges and universities are not graduating enough students in the geosciences to fill the rapidly growing vacancies.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Mokebe, Kozana David URN etd-09232008-143300 Document Title Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique as a holistic tool for environmental impact and economic analysis of a co-pulping process Degree MEng (Chemical Engineering) Department Chemical Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof T Majozi Supervisor Keywords
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique
- environmental interventions
- co-pulping process
Date 2008-04-11 Availability unrestricted AbstractAs the pressure on the chemical and process industries to improve environmental and economic performance increases, the need to move away from narrow system definitions and concepts in environmental system management is becoming more apparent. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been a gaining wider acceptance as a holistic tool that enables quantification of environmental interventions and evaluation of the improvement options throughout the life cycle of process, product or activity.
The stringent environmental legislation, especially in developing countries has warranted the need for intensive research in this field. Moreover, the capital cost for mitigation of emissions have put enormous pressure on the industries to reduce the overall process economic performance. This has not exempted the Pulp and Paper industry, being the producers of highly variable emissions quality and quantity are the prime candidates for the application of the technique.
The application of the LCA in process selection has been necessitated by the fact that sometimes a technology intended to reduce wastes has created unanticipated impacts in other media and/or stages of the life cycle. Thus, LCA has been developed as a means to identify and deal with these impacts before they can occur. It differs from other pollution prevention techniques in that it views all the resource and energy inputs to a product (Life Cycle Inventory), as well as the associated wastes, health and ecological burdens (Impact Assessment), and evaluates opportunities to reduce environmental impacts (Improvement Analysis) from cradle to grave. LCA is often confused with other assessment tools, such as life cycle cost (LCC) or sometimes referred to as "environmental life cycle costing."
This study was conducted at Mondi Packaging South African-Piet Retief Mill, a producer of linerboard, since this site has ample opportunity to minimse the environmental burden presented by operation of both Copeland Reactor and Boilers with significant emissions of SOx and NOx, and water effluent. The current mill strategy that is based on tight procurement specification of raw material is unsustainable. The environmental and economic performance analysis for this study followed from a mass balance of the pulp plant, power station, and paper machine as well as black liquor incinerating plant, and it was found that the most significant emissions come from pulp and steam generating processes. These emissions can be reduced by improving the mill energy efficiency and optimizing the Copeland scrubber absorption efficiency. The optimization of the Copeland scrubbing system will surely lead to improved environmental performance, however, the furnace stacks have to be modified to include the scrubbing system for absorption of SOx and NOx.

Re: FX-1 Light & Motion Housing For Sale!
Hello there,I was wondering if the housing was still for sale. If so I gotta ask, why sell a set up like that?? What is the watt output on the lights, and the kelvin light scale? Thanks

Re: FX-1 Light & Motion Housing For Sale!
I am selling the housing because I was sponsored by Amphibico recently and have no need of the Light & Motion housings. The housing is in excellent condition and I love it! However, I only have so many hands and Amphibico is making sure that they are filled with their housings!
This will make someone a great housing and kit!
The lights are 20+Watt HID and I am not sure of the their kelvin rating as L&M has now gone to LED lights and have removed the page with all the specs for these lights from their site. Sorry, I don't have any more information on them.
Peace & Aloha,

Mali needs international help to defeat Al Qaida
The growing crisis in Mali needs prompt international action to both support the restoration of civilian rule, as well as to launch effective action against the radical Islamists who have seized control of the northern half of the state. The current state of confusion should not be allowed to continue. The destruction of civilian rule by the military would normally be a matter for the Malians to worry about, but the failure of the military to stop the Al Qaida allies capturing and keeping half the country makes the issue an international priority.
A coup in March this year led by Captain Amadou Haya Sanogo toppled the long-established President Amadou Toumani Toure, and appointed an interim president. The government was run by Prime Minister Cheikh Modibo Diarra, who was an ally of Sanogo, but recently seemed to be distancing himself from the military leader. This is why Sanogo acted this week and arrested Diarra, replacing him with a long established senior civil servant, Diango Cissoko.
The US and the UN Security Council, as well as France which takes a close interest in Mali, have all insisted that any support will be dependent on the army going back to its barracks, and the restoration of civilian rule. The problem is that while the constitutional niceties are being imposed on Mali by the great powers, Al Qaida and its allies in the north are digging in and will be increasingly hard to dislodge.

Urge Congress to Say NO to GE Fish
Nearly 2 Million Voice Opposition
Earlier this year, we asked supporters to contact the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to voice opposition of genetically engineered (GE) salmon. We are pleased to report that with a combined effort of a coalition of 30 organizations, including AAVS and Farm Sanctuary, nearly 2 million people told the FDA that they do not want GE salmon to be sold as food. Considering that the FDA has a history of ignoring the problems associated with GE animals, we must ask Congress to stop the sale of GE salmon.
The "Prevention of Escapement of Genetically Altered Salmon in the United States Act" (PEGASUS) would ban the transportation, sale, purchase, or possession of GE fish in interstate or foreign commerce, effectively making it impossible to sell GE fish in the U.S. It has been reintroduced this year by Senator Mark Begich (D-AK) and Representative Don Young (R-AK). We need your help to get this important bill passed!
Developed by AquaBounty, these GE salmon supposedly grow twice as fast as other salmon, but this trait comes with serious health consequences. The company's own data reveal that their GE salmon are typically unhealthy and are more likely to suffer from skeletal deformities, jaw erosions, inflammation, lesions, increased susceptibility to disease, and increased mortality. Additionally, GE salmon are raised on aquaculture farms where crowded, unsanitary conditions have been documented to cause numerous health problems and pose environmental risks.
Just as troubling is all that we don't know about GE salmon. Despite AquaBounty having had years to gather relevant data, many of the animal health studies looked at just 12 fish, and intentionally excluded ones who were obviously unhealthy. The researchers assessed the health of the fish over only a two-week period and neglected to investigate the effects of the genetic modification throughout the animals' different life stages. The studies tell us nothing about how frequently antibiotics needed to be administered or how many fish had to be killed because they were deformed or diseased.
AquaBounty's GE salmon would be the first-ever, genetically engineered animal to be sold as food. As such, it sets a dangerous precedent for how other GE animals might be approved, and there are already several in the pipeline, including cows and pigs. Because of this, it is vital that high standards meant to protect animal health, consumers, and the environment, are met. Passage of the PEGASUS Act (S. 246 / H.R. 1667) would keep GE fish off the market, preventing animal suffering and safeguarding human health and wildlife habitats.
Dozens of members of Congress have written to the FDA, expressing condemnation of the agency's approval process, and more than 90 environmental, consumer, health, and animal welfare organizations, along with fishing associations, food companies, and retailers have also asked that FDA approval be halted. Consumers are wary, too, with poll after poll indicating that more than two-thirds would not buy GE food if given the choice, and 95% requesting that GE foods be labeled.
What You Can Do
Ask your Senators and Representative to support the PEGASUS Act (S. 246 / H.R. 1667). Tell them The PEGASUS Act would prevent the sale of GE salmon, and help ensure that other genetically engineered animals for food do not make it on the menu.
Use the form below to write to your Senators and Representative and ask them to take a stand against GE fish.

My mom is here visiting for a few days, but I'm always so much more stressed out when she's around that I never enjoy our visits. She always puts me down about things I want to do with my life, and the only time she supports me is when I'm working myself into exhaustion. And then there's the rude comments...tonight when I was casually talking to her about how my fiance and I would like our kids to be close in age, she responded, "well, that will be hard by yourself." I don't know if she assumes that my fiance doesn't help me at all or if she thinks at some point he'll just leave us? But it's definitely not the case, and it makes me upset that she would say something like that.
And on top of that, when she's around DD she absolutely refuses to put her down. I can barely get her away from her to change and feed her. So for the past few nights I've had an overstimulated, cranky baby. Ugh.
What a weird comment for her to make. Has she ever had a man leave her? Maybe she's just saying that because of her experiences.
Luckily my mom is a huge help when she's here, but I feel the same way as you're describing about my MIL. My mom lives across an ocean, my MIL lives an hour away, yet I'm hesitant to ask her for help because her visits are always so stressful for me. So I feel your pain.
carriesu2003:Oh I know what is going on here. By yourself, she meant without her. See my previous post about most negative comments stemming from baby jealousy. She wishes she got to spend more time with LO. Proof of this would be her refusal to put her down. I totally know what you mean about overstimulating the baby. My mother in law does this and says "Are you trying to sleep? Are you trying to sleep?" over and over to my kid when we visit. Frustrating but again, baby jealousy.
Omg this is so true. She lives in northern California, and I'm in southern California, so it's not like we're that far away, but my fiance and I really like to just keep to ourselves for the most part. We don't even see his parents more than once a month, and they only live 20 minutes away. But when my mom was here when DD was born, before she even left she was like "when can I come visit again?" I was like jeesh...I moved to the other end of the state for a reason. But it's kind of weird that she's jealous yet making comments about how having another baby soon is a bad idea.

125 miles of paddling from Devizes to Westminster
Congratulations to Dave Duff and Julie Hicks of Norwich Canoe Club on their excellent results in the gruelling 125 mile Devizes to Westminster canoe race over the Easter weekend. Established in 1948 as the pinnacle of long distance canoeing, it involves not only paddling the 52 miles along the Kennet and Avon canal and the 73 miles along the River Thames but also carrying the canoe and equipment around 77 locks on the way.
Dave Duff, paddling with Mike Chandler an RAF colleague, achieved a superb 10th place out of the 84 senior K2 kayaks which completed the course (an additional 51 K2s failed to finish). They completed the full course in a time of 21 hrs 18 mins and 10 secs. In addition, he was raising funds for the Kandoo Club in King's Lynn.
Julie Hicks, who came second on the individual event last year, teamed up with Charlotte Creamer of Leighton Buzzard CC coming 46thin senior K2 in a time of 24hrs 22 mins and 36 secs.
Well done to both Dave and Julie!

Rain is always falling down. Spring to summer, fall and winter, those raindrops do not discriminate between seasons. And now that I'm graduating and moving on to (hopefully) having a big-girl job, hooded sweatshirts just won't cut it anymore!
Check out some extremely cute hairstyle saving umbrellas below!
1. Multicolored
This colorful umbrella can make even the dullest of days a little bit brighter!
2. Heart Shaped
Perfect for showing what a big heart you have, or walking with the ones you love.
3. Wildlife Printed
This is my favorite by far, mostly because I love animals and arrow (but not when the two coincide). It's sort of a dreamy print on a black background, and the yellow pops out so well.
4. French Phrase
Sacre bleu! As a decent French speaker, this made me laugh out loud on sight! If you don't speak the language of love, just understand that there's a reason it's sold in the states in a language not spoken by all.
5. Inside Print
Create your own thunderstorm inside this playful parasol! This made me instantly think of Harry Potter, maybe I'll use it next time I wander into Hogsmeade in the rain!
6. Peekaboo Cat
Cats are 1) hilarious and 2) adorable and this quirky sunshade brings out the best qualities of our feline friends. If only it purred when it stopped pouring.
7. Color Changing
This is awesome. This umbrella's base changes color when raindrops hit it! Kind of like the color-changing bathroom tiles, but this version you can show off!
8. Colorful See Through
I love these umbrellas because you can fully hide yourself and still see where you're going. How much fun are they?
9. Paisley
Paisley print in the spring? Enough said.
After seeing all these cute little covers, I'm kind of anticipating my next shopping venture to have umbrella searching in it. Bring it on, rainy days!
Lovelies, what's your favorite umbrella? Do you have a preference?

Three goals in the first sixteen minutes helped determine the outcome of the game early in the debut of Barcelona's new coach Tito Vilanova. Villa and Puyol returned from injuries and put their names on the scoring board.
Four minutes into the game, the Blaugranas scored on the first chance they had, off a corner kick taken by Xavi that Carles Puyol headed it in easily.
Real Sociedad would level things also scoring on the first and only chance they had on the first half. Illarramendy set up Chori Castro who arrived on the left with no man on him and shot past Valdes to the top left corner. Tied 1-1 at the 9th minute.
Real's happiness lasted only two minutes as Barcelona reacted quickly through Lionel Messi who managed to shoot while having four defenders on him inside the box, and beat Claudio Bravo.
At minute 16th it was the best player in the world who scored again after an assist from Tello. Messi almost had the hat trick when he was face to face with Claudio Bravo who managed to save the shot.
Barcelona continued their dominance throughout the half and at the 41st minute, a nice building play the Cules ended up in a nice cross from Tello to Pedro who shot to the opposite post.
With a three goal difference Barcelona slowed down a bit for the second half, controlling the ball but still approaching to Sociedad's box with Messi and Xavi creating a couple chances. Meanwhile Real Sociedad was close to score their second when Chori Castro's shot went wide by inches after Barcelona had lost the ball in midfield.
David Villa went in at the 75th minute to appear in his first competitive match since he got injured in the Club World Cup match vs Al Sadd in December last year. Eight minutes later he scored Barca's fifth goal after a pass from Iniesta who also had come in earlier in the 58th minute.
Barcelona is the first leader of La Liga and will visit Osasuna next Sunday.

I am really frustrated now. I have been trying to print this out since yesterday but the bridge doesn't come out right and I have to cancel everytime. :(
I've tried to print both this and the 'fixed' remix and each time the castle interior prints as a mess of surfaces and shapes rather than the solid infill that both the model and the various photos of people's prints imply. I am using MakerWare, standard @ 10% infill. What am I missing? Thanks!
Dear Dim, thank you for posting the renderized castle, at last and thanks to you I had the opportunity of seeing the castle from upside (the second image), I am in Cuba and I am trying to make my own castle, I just wanted to know if you would have the other side (like in the second image) also renderized for me to be as accurate as possible?, if you want to contact me my mail is [email protected], thanks a lot in advance
I have the makerbot replicator 2x, will this need to have support?
