EU Commissioner on Maritime affairs, Damanaki to EuroFora: Innovation + Energy in the Sea
EU Commissioner-designate on Maritime affairs and Fisheries, Maria Damanaki from Greece, replying to an "EuroFora" question, stressed the importance to closely cooperate with new German EU Commissioner on Energy, Gunter Oettering and others on New Technologies for Energy through the Sea during the 5 next years (2010-2015).
- "EuroFora" reminded Damanaki that Oettering had spoken about "Sea", "Energy", and "New Technologies", referring, fex. to Sea Ship Transport of liquefied Gas, at his recent EU Parliament Hearing, while she also evoked "Sea Highways" at her own hearing, and asked her if she saw important possibilities to develop in the future by using "New Technologies" in cooperation in this field.
- "Of Course", replied Damanaki positively to "EuroFora"'s question. F. ex. "Renewable Energies, specially in the Sea, is a very good Option, particularly for Maritime Spatial Planning", as she observed.
- "So", "I will collaborate with everybody, specially with my collegues in the (EU) Commission, to have the better Resources" for Europe, and "we'll do our best to have the best results", concluded the EU Commissioner-designate on Maritime affairs.
The move fitted particularly well Damanaki's focus on multiform "Sustainability" of Seas and Coasts, "Environmental, Economic and Social", as well as on "unleashing a considerable economic and employment Potential .. related to Seas and Oceans", able to make an important contribution into "generating New Growth and Jobs" and "a Greener Economy", as she said on the occasion of her Hearing by MEPs at EU Parliament in Strasbourg.
However, for Maria Damanaki, (Socialist), a former Chemical Engineer turned into a real Politician (including at CoE's Parliamentary Assembly in Strasbourg for many years), after she became famous as Radio-journalist in the Students' uprising agains the former Military Dictatorship at the 1970ies, the switch-over from "Ships Transport" to "Renewables"; (without excluding the 1st), didn't stay unoticed..

Brixen-Bressnone/ACM/10 August 2008
Pope Benedict XVI launched a call "in the name of the common Christian heritage" of "all Christians", to "immediately stop military actions", and "resolutely take, the road of negotiation and dialogue", with "Initiatives" for a "peaceful and sustainable solution" in South Ossetia.
It's with "profound anxiety" that we read "the news, more and more dramatic", on "these tragic events ..which have caused many innocent victims and obliged a great number of civilians to leave their homes". All involved must "avoid to cause more, and worse sufferings to the population", he said.
He warned against "more violent confrontations and retaliations, which may degenerate in a conflict of even larger scope".
To avoid this risk, "the International Community and the most inffuent countries" should "make every effort to support and promote .. initiatives" for a stable Peace, he stressed, shortly before his visit to France, where President Nicolas Sarkozy is the current EU chair.
"Together with our Orthodox brothers, we pray for these aims, and we entrust them to the intercession of her sanctity, virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus and of all Christians", he concluded.
Pope Benedict XVI spoke in front of more than 12.000 People during the Angelus of an Open-air Mass at Brixen-Bressalone (north of Italy), at the end of his short stay at the Alpes, close to German chancelor Angie Merkel's restplace, where he received the visits of two f.Italian Presidents, Ciampi and Cossiga, together with Minister Tremonti.
Pope's spokesman, Federico Lombardi, said ttesterday that he highlighted Brixen-Bressanone's synthesis, a peaceful and mutually enriching meeting point of many cultures, as "a model for Europe".
