EU uses 284 million EUR from Internal Security budget for ITERThierry Debels
The implementation of the Internal Security Fund (ISF) appropriations has experienced a delay since Member States
(MS) needed to complete their designation of the national authorities (responsible authorities and audit authorities). MS
need to designate a Responsible Authority (RA) in charge of the proper management and control of the national
programme in line with the principles of sound financial management. The Responsible Authority may delegate some of
its task to a Delegated Authority. Last but not least, an Audit Authority (AA) needs to be appointed, which should
function independently from the Responsible Authority and which would be responsible for issuing annually an opinion
on the accounts. Most of the final designations were completed in 2016, while the last designations of national
authorities by the MS took place in June 2017.

The economic growth continues its positive trend into 2015 and the Romanian economy is predicted to grow with 3% per year in 2016 and 2017 as well.
Industrial production and retail turnover are expected to rise as well, and this growth is set to be accompanied by increases in employment and real wages.
The cumulative impact of these factors on the construction market overall is awaited to be quite benefic.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
