Friends of the Earth has called for the 15c levy on plastic bags to be doubled. On the the fourth anniversary of its introduction analysis of Department of the Environment figures shows the number of bags being bought is rising steadily. After the plastic bag tax was introduced on 4th March 2002 the number of bags being put into circulation fell dramatically with visible environmental benefits. In the first year after the introduction of the 15c levy just under 90 million bags were bought by the public and this fell to less than 85 million in 2003. But since then the number has been on the up again, to 100 million in 2004 and at least 113 million in 2005, a rise of over a third. ... read full story / add a comment

In a striking departure from customary practice, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday 3 March attempted to abolish the Danish principle of freedom of information by charging award-winning journalist Bo Elkjær a fee for copying documents requested under the Danish Open Administration Act. In return, Elkjær accuses the ministry of conducting “considerations of matters of principle” and charging fees that have no basis in the legislation, in an attempt to obstruct his access to official documents concerning Denmark’s invasion and occupation of Iraq. In January, 2004, Elkjær was awarded the prestigious Cavling Prize, Denmark’s most coveted award for journalism, for his work in exposing the misinformation and disinformation with which the Danish government succeeded in gaining support for the ill-fated invasion of Iraq. Denmark has approximately 500 troops in the British-controlled area of southern Iraq. The foreign ministry has blacklisted Elkjær, rejecting his frequent requests for an interview with Conservative foreign minister Per Stig Møller. In January this year, the ministry nevertheless reassured Elkjær that he was entitled to seek access to documents in accordance with the Danish freedom of information act, or Open Administration Act. But, following a period of “considerations of matters of principle”, the ministry has now demanded that Elkjær sign an undertaking to pay for each document copied. Elkjær greets this latest attempt to obstruct his access to information with derision: “Have you gone stark raving mad?” he asks chief clerk Thomas Winkler and other staff at the ministry. Elkjær points out that the Danish Open Administration Act – in stark contrast to the Irish legislation – makes no provision to charge journalists a fee for copying official documents. Please read the dramatically entertaining exchange between Elkjær and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in translation below. ... read full story / add a comment

Crimes against humanity including torture. When George Bush passed through Shannon airport on Tuesday morning last, he insulted the Irish people by reviewing US troops who were also passing through Shannon airport, in direct violation of Irish neutrality and international law. This is not something new of course. Cambodia and Laos were also neutral states in the 1960s and 1970s when the US government used B52 bombers, to kill hundreds of thousands of their people. The UN remained silent then, and is silent now on US crimes against humanity. ... read full story / add a comment

Early February 2006 - Some 800 US troops have disembarked at the Dominican port of Barahona as part of the “New Horizons” military exercise that is to extend for several months. The U.S. troops will build medical clinics and conduct medical training, an official said. Some 100 troops were near the southern city of Barahona, close to the Haitian border, to work with the Dominican military on the projects, said Army spokesman Robert Appin. About 3,500 soldiers would join the effort, part of “New Horizons” — a Latin American aid program the U.S. military has run since 1998, Appin said. The work runs through May 22. Later, hundreds of demonstrators marched on the US Embassy in Santo Domingo as well as on the US military camp in Barahona, approximately 120 miles southwest of the capital. Demonstrators representing leftist, union and student groups presented a statement to a US Embassy official demanding the immediate withdrawal of the US troops. ... read full story / add a comment |
