The voice of the European Internet industry
In 2017 EuroISPA hosted its 20th year anniversary celebration, celebrating its founding as the representative body for European Internet services providers. Back in 1997 the association was established in order to promote the voice of the fledging Internet industry, with the aim to ensure that EU and international regulation encouraged innovation in this nascent sector. Looking back at EuroISPA’s achievements and engagement over the past year, we can clearly see the founding members’ ambitions reflected in our work. In the last year EuroISPA dealt with many challenges head-on, and through our successes we reaffirmed the importance and value of engaging in regulatory debate at EU level. The Internet industry was centre-stage in numerous political discussions throughout the course of 2017, particularly in the context of intermediary liability and responsibility, data protection and tackling illegal content online. In engaging in these and other debates, we endeavoured to ensure that EU policymakers considered the unique situation of the various layers of the Internet value chain to realise regulatory outcomes that reflect real market dynamics.
A large focus of EuroISPA’s activities in 2017 centred on providing technical insight and expertise from the point of view of European ISPs on the key policy issues driving the day in Brussels and beyond. For instance, our participation in Europol’s EC3 cybercrime expert group and the European Commission expert group on e-evidence ensured that the interests of the European Internet sector were at the heart of policy considerations around emerging cybercrime issues. In addition, EuroISPA continued in 2017 our longstanding engagement on the Copyright Reform directive and the E-Privacy regulation, to ensure policy outcomes that enhance both fundamental rights and digital innovation.

Neighbouring rights for publishers: are national and (possible) EU initiative...Eleonora Rosati
To tackle the financial difficulties facing the newspaper industry, different solutions have been advanced in Europe. These have resulted in either the conclusion of consensual agreements or the adoption of national legislative initiatives to create sui generis rights over news content. Currently also the EU Commission is considering whether a neighbouring right for publishers – whether in the press sector alone or also other sectors – should be proposed for adoption at the EU level.
This contribution discusses: (1) the compatibility with EU law of national legislative initiatives that have resulted in the creation of sui generis rights for press publishers; and (2) whether a neighbouring right for publishers may be adopted at the EU level and, if so, what changes of the copyright acquis are required. It concludes that, while the former may be contrary to Member States’ obligations under EU law, the latter may be pursued by amending relevant directives.
Civil Protection operators and Public Administrations, engaged in urban planning, resource & environmental management, need spatio-temporal processing of GI to support decision-making. Current SDIs and the ESDI, only partially address user needs as they offer no or very limited time variable management . The integration between INSPIRE-compliant geographic datasets and operational databases, essential in domains such as environmental risk management and civil protection, is poor.
Thus the present scope of services SDI can offer is somewhat limited. It is the aim of BRISEIDE to build on existing SDI’s in order to provide users with more complete and adequate data and processing tools.

TFT update on current regulations and initiatives for the MI industry - Marin...TonalInnovationCenter
Tonal Innovation Center (TONIC) hosted the second annual International Musical Instruments Seminar in Joensuu, Finland on 14th September- 16th September 2011.
The text assesses the existence and availability of the information listed in VPA about legal frameworks and procedures or forest activities:
-It finds that there are difficulties in the interpretation of complex information and dissemination depends on the authority’s discretion.
-EU will support the implementation of VPA by and activating civil society to demand and use data. In Ghana, the EU will work to establish a formal agreement on which documents should be routinely published.
-Ghana: no binding obligation to publish data routinely. Legal documents are available, but mostly after written request.
-Cameroon: commits the parties to publish information on specific items. There is missing implementing regulation and key information on logging permits. Almost no data on production, plans, exports, social agreements, etc
-Liberia: Legal documents available, but missing information on private use permits, production, and law enforcement.

The Communications Strategy is a guiding framework that supports a project implemented by the Center
for Education and Development (CED) and Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI). The
project aims to improve the communications capacity of media and business associations to inform key
actors about the FLEGT/VPA process and prepare for implementation as well as enhance motivation and
secure commitment.
The training workshop “Evaluating the Impact of latest commitments of FLEGT-VPA on timber businesses” was held by the Center for Education and Development (CED) and Vietnam Chamber of Commercial and Industry in Da Nang (VCCI Da Nang) on 30 August 2017 in Da Nang as one of the project activities. The objective of the training workshop was to update the latest important contents of FLEGT-VPA and discuss the impacts and solutions for 3 items: imported timber control, organization classification, verifying the origin of the timber and FLEGT licensing.
Cẩm nang phòng ngứa và ứng phó RRTT dành cho KKT và KCNThành Nguyễn
Thiên tai là hiện tượng tự nhiên, tuy nhiên, trong quá trình phát triển kinh tế - xã hội, các hoạt động của con
người cùng với phát triển công nghệ, quá trình đô thị hoá, bùng nổ dân số, suy thoái tài nguyên môi trường đã
làm gia tăng mức độ, hậu quả do thiên tai gây ra. Trong hai thập kỷ qua, trên thế giới, trung bình mỗi năm có
hơn 200 triệu người chịu ảnh hưởng trực tiếp bởi những thảm họa do thiên tai gây ra.
Riêng ở Việt Nam, mỗi năm thiên tai cướp đi mạng sống của 466 người, thiệt hại trên 1,5 tỷ USD tương đương
1,5% GDP. Diễn biến thiên tai ngày càng phức tạp, không theo quy luật, tần suất tăng lên, cường độ mạnh hơn
rõ rệt. Việt Nam là một trong 4 nước chịu ảnh hưởng lớn nhất của hiện tượng khí hậu cực đoan trong hai thập
kỷ qua và đứng thứ 3, nếu chỉ tính riêng năm 2008. 1
Chính vì vậy, việc hướng dẫn và cung cấp thông tin giúp cho các tổ chức và cá nhân giúp họ xây dựng các bản kế
hoạch và các phương án ứng phó với rủi ro thiên tai (RRTT) là rất cần thiết. Luật phòng chống thiên tai (PCTT) có
hiệu lực từ ngày 1 tháng 5 năm 2014. Theo đó, các tổ chức kinh tế (bao gồm cả các doanh nghiệp) cần chủ động
xây dựng, bảo vệ công trình, cơ sở vật chất của mình, có phương án tổ chức sản xuất, kinh doanh bảo đảm an
toàn trước thiên tai. Như vậy, dù muốn hay không, doanh nghiệp cũng cần phải xây dựng kế hoạch để tuân thủ
các yêu cầu của luật pháp.

After the story of Khai Thinh Co., Ltd., Ms. Tran Thi Hanh explain why it’s important to have knowledge and, be aware of all disaster risk and consequences of climate change for a company. The fact that this lack of understanding can be solved by taking training course and that business and entrepreneurs can “spend a small amount but […] protect a huge amount of assets” is highlight. Additionally, it gives you the feedback of previous training and a reminder of the upcoming activities.

Final report on_drm_training_programme_english_2012Thành Nguyễn
Project “Strengthening the Public-Private Partnership in Disaster Risk Management and Community Resilience in Vietnam“, funded by USAID, is implemented by The Asia Foundation (TAF) in collaboration with Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and Center for Education and Development (CED) from March 2011 to March 2013 (2 years) in 5 provinces/cities: Nghe An, Hue, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa and Binh Dinh. The Project consists of two Components with the overall objectives being (i) the capacity to deal sustainably and effectively with disasters built through strengthening the public-private partnerships for disaster risk management (DRM); (ii) capacity of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) enhanced to prepare for and respond to disasters; and (iii) corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives promoted for mitigation of disaster risk.
During the reporting period, The Foundation supported VCCI to deliver 18 business Disaster Risk Management (DRM) courses to more than 520 people from 370 businesses in seven provinces in the Central region: Nghe An, Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Tri, Binh Dinh and Khanh Hoa. The Foundation also worked closely with VCCI and CED to support ten companies to finalize their DRM plans. To measure the impact of the DRM training program in the last quarter of 2012, the Foundation sponsored an independent evaluation of training carried out under the program since 2011. The evaluation provided evidence of businesses interest in the training, implementation of training content in business practice and case study examples of where those DRM measures had been tested by disaster and found to reduce disaster risk. The program has established an effective course, a cadre of trainers, and with its increasing profile has made an important contribution to improved awareness and action on DRM among local businesses in the central region.
During the reporting period, The Foundation supported VCCI to deliver 26 business Disaster Risk Management (DRM) coursesto more than 820 people from 539 businesses in nine provinces in the Central region: Binh Dinh, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, Nghe An, Phu Yen, Quang Binh, Quang Ngai, Quang Nam, and Quang Tri provinces. Among these were, four cost-shared coursesheld for businesses in Da Nang (2 courses), Nha Trang and Khanh Hoa (2 courses). VCCI also conducted one training workshop on DRM for business associations and local government in the Mekong Delta region (Can Tho Province) with 104 participantsfrom 45 businesses.The Foundation also worked closely with VCCI to organize one business DRM training course for 60 people from 11 business members of 8 business associations in Can Tho Province.
