European Union supports war against mortality

Health News of Sunday, 21 September 2014

The European Union (EU) Delegation in Ghana has urged Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to coordinate their activities so as to avoid unhealthy competitions in seeking grants from donor partners.

Mr. Joseph B. Allan, EU Delegation Programme Officer said many CSOs in the country depend on donor support for their operations, but once grants have been released to them, unhealthy competitions should give way to coordination.

He said CSOs should be able to sit together, discuss and agree onacommon approach in tackling issues.

Mr. Allan was speaking at the weekend to Ghana News Agency in Accra on the sideline of the launch of Plan Ghana 550, 000 Young Voices Project.

He said the EU is supporting the Institute of Local Government Studies to provide a platform for CSOs in the social sector to sit together, discuss issues and share their experiences.

He said, this year, the EU had provided 3 million for CSOs in Ghana on maternal health and service delivery.

He said it is important that CSOs in the health sector begin to work together to ensure that maternal and child health are put on a high pedestal.

The Programme Officer said a record of 180 deaths per 100,000 live births is an acceptable standard in maternal healthcare delivery, which Ghana must strive to attain.

EU New Sanctions Against Russia to Be Announced Monday: Officials

Updated 02:20 (MSK)

BRUSSELS, September 6 (RIA Novosti) - The European Union is expected to announce its new sanctions against Russia on Monday, a number of European politicians said late Friday.

Our intention is that the formal adoption of this package [of restrictive measures against Russia] will be done through written procedure on Monday, a joint letter by the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, and the President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso says.

An EU diplomat told journalists on Friday that the official approval of the sanctions will start Monday morning. Once the decision is formally approved, it will be published in an official magazine most likely on Tuesday.

Another source close to the EU leadership, told RIA Novosti of Friday that there was an agreement on a package of sanctions against Moscow and the final decision is due Monday.

This new package of restrictive measures has now been agreed at the level of COREPER. It will give the European Union an effective tool, which should allow us to provide a response within a short time span. It will increase the effectiveness of the measures already in place. It will also reinforce the principle that EU sanctions are directed at promoting a change of course in Russia's actions in Ukraine, a joint letter by Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso says.

On Friday, US President Barack Obama told reporters on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Wales that sanctions against Russia may be lifted if a long-term sustainable ceasefire is reached in Ukraine.

Similar statements were made by UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande.

Earlier that day, members of the Contact Group on Ukrainian reconciliation had a meeting in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, during which they agreed on a ceasefire, exchange of prisoners and humanitarian aid. The ceasefire agreement came into force at 6 p.m. local time (15:00 GMT).

Poroshenko said that the ceasefire deal was based on his peace plan.

EU Sanctions Against Russia to Target Decision-Makers, Oligarchs, Heads of Donbas, Crimea

Updated 02:15 (MSK)

MOSCOW, September 6 (RIA Novosti) - The European Union will add Russian decision-makers, oligarchs, leadership of Donbas and the Crimea in the sanctions list, a joint letter by the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, and the President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, on restrictive measures against Russia said.

As requested by the European Council, the Commission and the EEAS presented to COREPER on 3rd September a set of enhanced measures, related to access to capital markets, defense, dual use goods, and sensitive technologies, the letter reads. Additionally, a new list of individuals, including the new leadership in Donbass, the government of Crimea as well as Russian decision-makers and oligarchs was presented.

The new list of sanctions against Moscow is expected to be formally adopted on Monday, and will be published Tuesday, according to high-ranking EU officials.

Back in March, in response to Crimeas reunification with Russia the United States and the European Union introduced the first package of targeted sanctions against a number of Russian high-ranking officials. As the Ukrainian crisis escalated, the United States pressed for its Western allies to follow its lead. Norway, Canada, Australia and Japan also caved in to the US sanctions push and drew up their own blacklists.

In July, the West moved from targeting individuals to hitting entire sectors on Russian economy, including defense, energy and banking. The latest round of sanctions, imposed by the United States and EU member-states was largely economic and has significantly complicated access to European capital markets for a number of Russian banks.

In August, Moscow was forced to introduce protective measures banning for a year the import of agricultural and food products from countries that had imposed sanctions on Russia.
