Για τον south stream βέβαια τα πάντα ήταν έτοιμα (οι σωλήνες κάθονται και περιμένουν) αλλά δεν φαίνεται πλέον τπτ στον ορίζοντα.

Σε αυτή τη μπίζνα βέβαια πολλά μπορούν να αλλάξουν απότομα

Ο north stream συζητιέται επίσης στα σοβαρα, ετσι και γίνει και αυτό, η Ουκρανία θα φάει σοβαρή ψωλιά. Πραγματικά είμαι περίεργος πώς θα αντιδράσει η Ευρώπη

Dec. 9, 2016 | Zug | Following the international tender process, Nord Stream 2 AG and Allseas have today signed a Letter of Intent covering the offshore pipelay capacities for the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline through the Baltic Sea.

The Letter of Intent ensures that Allseas will undertake offshore pipelay works for the first line and also provides the option to book capacities from Allseas for the second line up to the end of the first quarter of 2017. Negotiations to finalise the contract will continue within this timeline. Other tenders including the near-shore pipelay tenders in Russia and Germany are ongoing.

Henning Kothe, Chief Project Officer of Nord Stream 2 AG said: “This step follows a thorough tender evaluation procedure in the highly specialised offshore pipelay market. We are pleased to have secured the necessary pipelay capacity for our project. The Nord Stream 2 Team will work in the next weeks to optimise and finalise the awards for both lines. It is a further important milestone in the development of the Nord Stream 2 project.”

#337392 Russian and Syrian forces drive ISIL out of Palmyra

Air raids reportedly kill hundreds of fighters and force withdrawal of group hours after it re-entered the ancient city.

The Syrian army, aided by Russian aerial onslaught, has forced ISIL fighters to withdraw from Syria's Palmyra at dawn on Sunday, only hours after the armed group had re-entered the ancient city.

Both the Russian Defence Ministry and a UK-based monitoring group reported early on Sunday that the Syrian forces, with the support of intense Russian air raids, killed a large number of fighters in the strategically located central city.

According to the Russian ministry, Russian jets carried out 64 strikes during the operation, killing more than 300 fighters.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights was unable to confirm the number of those killed.

"The [Syrian] army brought reinforcements into Palmyra last night, and the raids are continuing on [ISIL] positions around the city," Rami Abdulrahman, director of the Observatory, told AFP news agency.

Amaq news agency affiliated to the armed group however, said they have captured Palmyra castle overlooking the ancient city.

ISIL began an offensive just days ago near Palmyra, an ancient city on UNESCO's World Heritage list.

In May last year, the armed group seized several towns in Homs province including Palmyra, where they caused extensive damage to many of its ancient sites.

They were forced out of Palmyra in March by Syrian government forces backed by Russia.

Venezuela Closes Colombian Border, Confiscates Christmas Toys

Εικόνα

The Venezuelan government released four more political prisoners on Tuesday, apparently “lesser-known” opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. It is still to be seen if this will resume the Vatican-brokered peace talks between the opposition and the government which had recently stalled, as the opposition noted that the government had not yet made any concessions.

What has already been seen, however, is that Maduro’s government is not going to make concessions toward solving the country’s economic crisis — like by admitting that there is an economic crisis.

Instead, its answer to inflation and the rapid devaluation of its bolívar has been to pull its largest bill from circulation and replace it with coins, and to announce that new, larger bills will arrive on Thursday of this week.

On Monday, Maduro also closed his country’s border with Colombia for 72 hours to destroy the “mafia” that he has said is responsible for ruining the economy. Prior to the announcement, many Venezuelans were going to Colombia to try to find food and medicine — or, in the case of women, to sell their hair for money. It seems unlikely, then, that the Colombian border is either the cause of or a solution to Venezuela’s cash crisis.

But, then, neither is Maduro’s other recent plot: The government recently confiscated millions of toys from a toy manufacturer. It accused the company of plotting to sell the toys at inflated prices. Venezuelan families have noted that they will now not be able to buy them at all. Maduro’s government plans to make the 3.821 million toys available to the poor at below market prices. 

While nobody can get too upset at the principle of affordable toys this holiday season, government intervention in markets — currency, food, energy, and more — is arguably what got Venezuela into this whole mess in the first place.

EU border force accuses charities of collusion with migrant smugglers
Frontex charges open up long-simmering dispute with NGOs over how to solve the crisis
by: Duncan Robinson in Brussels
The EU’s border agency has accused charities operating in the Mediterranean of colluding with people smugglers, according to confidential reports seen by the Financial Times.
The accusations from Frontex bring to the fore a long-simmering dispute between EU officials and non-governmental organisations over how to resolve a migration crisis that has caused the deaths of 4,700 people this year alone.
Frontex put its concerns in a confidential report last month, raising the idea that migrants had been given “clear indications before departure on the precise direction to be followed in order to reach the NGOs’ boats”.
The agency made the accusation explicitly in another report last week, which stated: “First reported case where the criminal networks were smuggling migrants directly on an NGO vessel”.
NGOs operating in the region emphatically denied working with people smugglers.
Elsewhere in the reports, which are shared among EU officials and diplomats, Frontex says people rescued by NGO vessels were often “not willing to co-operate with debriefing experts at all” with some claiming “that they were warned [by NGOs] not to co-operate with Italian law enforcement or Frontex”.
The number of rescues triggered by a distress signal fell from roughly two-thirds of all incidents this summer to barely one in 10 in October, according to Frontex figures. This drop-off coincided with a jump in the number of rescues carried out by NGOs in the central Mediterranean. They responded to more than 40 per cent of rescues in October, compared with just 5 per cent at the start of the year.
Frontex also suggested the change in activity could be down to NGOs operating closer to Libyan territorial waters, or even to the lights used by rescue boats, which — the agency says — act “as a beam for the migrants”.
Charities operating in the region reacted angrily to the accusations. They say a drop in distress calls from boats carrying migrants has been due to increased rescue efforts, meaning that people were picked up before their situation worsened.
Gemma Gillie, a humanitarian adviser with Médecins Sans Frontières, which operates two rescue boats, said: “We are actively searching for boats in distress. We spot them earlier. This is a response to the needs that we see at sea. If that proves collusion, I do not think so.”
So far this year more than 170,000 people have attempted to cross the Mediterranean from Libya to Italy, about 15 per cent more than last year, according to UNHCR, the UN refugee agency. The number of deaths has jumped by a quarter after 3,800 last year.
NGO workers blamed the increased numbers of deaths on smugglers changing tactics and sending people out on increasingly unseaworthy vessels — a trend that they blamed on a crackdown on people smugglers by EU authorities. “It is not about whether there is collusion between NGOs and smugglers: the issue is why so many people die, which is what Frontex should be focusing on,” said Ms Gillie. “They should be looking at their own actions.”
MSF this year said it would refuse EU funding in protest at the bloc’s handling of the refugee crisis.
Founded in 2004, Frontex has scooped up more staff, money and powers as the EU attempts to get to grips with a growing problem of irregular migration. The EU this year turned the agency, which has a €250m budget, into a fully fledged border guard with the power to deploy 1,500 staff to support a member state if they are overwhelmed by arrivals.
Frontex also criticised charities for failing to help with investigations into people smuggling by refusing to collect leftover evidence from rescued boats. “We have an obligation to help save their lives, not perform the duties of security agencies,” said Save the Children, which has rescued 2,400 people in October and November.
The European Commission is examining whether stricter control of non-governmental rescue missions is needed, although officials stressed that legislation was unlikely.
NGOs have played a crucial role in saving thousands of lives in the central Mediterranean, according to the commission, and have “mostly acted in support [of] and close co-ordination” with governments.
Ruben Neugebauer, of Sea Watch, a German charity that runs rescue operations, said the EU was attempting to criminalise the efforts of NGOs in the Mediterranean. “It is no wonder that these accusations come now. We have a worsening situation in the central Med and a lot of efforts taken by the EU to shut down migration. They are trying to shut this down by all means necessary.”
