Das Rahmenabkommen ist gescheitert – Ernüchterung für EU-Schweiz-Beziehungen

Einseitiger Abbruch nach sieben Jahren Verhandlung – Schweizer Bundesrat bekennt sich zur Fortsetzung des bilateralen Wegs, stellt aber keinen Plan B vor

Am 26. Mai gab der Schweizer Bundesrat endgültig bekannt, dass er das mit der EU ausgehandelte Abkommen, das sogenannte Institutionelle Rahmenabkommen (InstA), nicht unterzeichnen wird. Begründet wird dies mit den "substanziellen Unterschieden" zwischen der EU und der Schweiz. Die Entscheidung beendet die lange Zeit der Ungewissheit über das Abkommen, das darauf abzielte, den rechtlichen Rahmen zwischen der EU und der Schweiz, der sich derzeit auf 120 sektorale Abkommen stützt, zu modernisieren. Einen Alternativplan präsentierte der Schweizer Bundesrat nicht.

Opportunities for Circular Economy in Africa’s Mining Sector

During the annual meeting of the African Circular Economy Alliance (ACEA), KAS presented a report on Opportunities for Circular Economy in Africa’s Mining Sector. The mining sector provides a significant economic contribution to African countries, at the same time minerals and metals from the continent are needed for a transition to a low carbon economy and thus demand and markets are expected to increase significantly over the next years. It is therefore crucial to enhance opportunities for sustainable mining practices and operations

Erste Runde der Kommunalwahlen 2021 in Kroatien

Unabhängige Kandidaten und neue grün-linke Listen sorgen für Spannung in Großstädten

Am 16. Mai fand die erste Runde der Kommunalwahlen in Kroatien statt – mehr als 3,6 Millio-nen Menschen waren wahlberechtigt, die politische Führung in 425 Gemeinden, 127 Städten und 20 Gespanschaften (dies ist in Kroatien die Verwaltungseinheit nationalstaatlicher Ebene und Kommune) und der Stadt Zagreb zu wählen – jedoch haben tatsächlich nur 47% der Wahlberechtigten von ihrem Wahlrecht Gebrauch gemacht. Dabei werden Amtsinhaber wie Bürgermeister oder Szupane (Landräte) direkt gewählt. Dort wo es keinen eindeutigen Sie-ger in der ersten Runde gab, finden am 30. Mai die Stichwahlen statt. Vor allem spannend wird es dabei in der Hauptstadt Zagreb, in der immerhin 25% aller in Kroatien lebenden Kroa-ten beheimatet sind und wo die neue links-grüne MOŽEMO („Wir können“) mit ihrem Kandi-daten siegen und damit zur führenden grün/linken Partei(enverbindung) im Lande werden könnte. Die im Land regierende HDZ (Kroatisch Demokratische Union, Mitglied der EVP) schnitt traditionell in den Großstädten nicht so stark ab wie in den ländlichen Regionen und liefert sich ein enges Rennen in den Städten Split, Zadar (HDZ-Hochburg) und Vukovar.
