EU/GATS/Cultural Diversity: Regions rally behind Jacques Chirac Strasbourg,4/02/2003 -The Assembly of European Regions (AER) supports the recent proposal of French President Jacques Chirac, who argued for the adoption of an international Convention on Cultural Diversity. For the South-Tyrolean Minister Bruno Hosp, chairman of AER's Culture/Education Committee, the French initiative reiterates the demands of the 2002 Brixen Declaration of European Regional Ministers in charge of Culture and Education. "The Regions are totally opposed to submit culture, media and education to unlimited commercial interests and liberalisation as pursued by GATS." The Regions insist on exclusion of these sectors, predominantely public services, from the ongoing GATS-negotiations and are critical of the EU-Trade Commissioner when pressing the member states for more liberalisation offers and requests. The AER is also prepared to fight against attempts by the Commissioner Viviane Reding which would make culture more than a "matter of assistance" (domaine d'appui) of the European level. read full story / add a comment

In most of the papers today, the 'assault' on a member of the Garda is mentioned as fact, while others, certainly 'The Examiner'(?!), say that last year a protestor, presumabley Mr. Dubsky, 'claims' to have broken into the airport and spray painted slogans on a US military aircraft. Did I miss something or did that really happen? read full story / add a comment

The perspective from the Associated Press - manages to get a Red-scare slur on the CWM, calls the shinners 'ultranationalist' (not a fan of shinners, but that they certainly ain't) and makes reference to "overpowering the guard". Like Bertie's quotes tho... read full story / add a comment

NASA is currently engaged in helping to implement the USA's plans to militarize space. The shuttle probably did not carry nuclear material in significant quantities this time, but future ones will if Project Prometheus goes ahead. Furthermore, the heroes that died in the Shuttle could still be alive if the Bush administration had heeded complaints from NASA engineers. read full story / add a comment

Like many people born in this country I had the honour of serving in the United States military during the Vietnam war. Hopefully my son will have the chance to join the European rapid reaction force or the Irish army if it is allowed to fight for democracy and this outdated neutrality is dropped. read full story / add a comment

Today peaceful protesters injured a garda while trying to cause damage to a plane. This gives a new meaning to the word peaceful. Last week people here were saying criminal damage was ok because nobody was hurt. What have they got to say this week? The sooner they arrest the rest of the criminals down at Shannon the better. Are the protesters in Shannon the same incident peaceful protesters that caused the May Day Riot? If will funny to read all the excuses that will be posted here about what happened today. Because the protesters at Shannon, rts and the rest are never wrong. And I am sure there will be lots of people saying it’s the governments fault LETS HOPE THEY LOCK THESE SCUMBAGS UP read full story / add a comment
