[01] General approach reached at TTE Council on slots at EU airports
EU Transport Ministers, following a dynamic debate on the basis of the
Presidency's compromise proposals, reached a general approach in the
proposal for a Regulation on common rules for the allocation of slots
at European Union airports, which aims to optimise the use of airport
capacity.
The general approach was reached during the EU Transport,
Telecommunications and Energy (TTE) Council, which took place in
Luxembourg under the Cyprus EU Presidency.
In addition, the Council reached a general approach on the Maritime
Labour Convention (MLC - 2006) Enforcement Package which consists of two
legislative proposals laying down the responsibilities of flag states,
on the one hand, and port states, on the other.
[02] CMP third member to assume duties soon
The third member of the Committee for Missing Persons (CMP), Paul Henri
Arni from Switzerland, is expected to assume his duties soon, probably
within this week, President of the Parliamentary Committee on Refugees
and Missing Persons Skevi Koutra Koukouma said on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion of today's Cyprus Missing Persons Day, Koukouma
expressed hope that procedures aiming to ascertain the fate of missing
persons will be speeded up.
Moreover, the Cypriot MP said that the CMP Anthropological Laboratory has
employed two more anthropologists, as well as two experienced geneticists
who will train their younger colleagues.
