Armenia reopens nuclear power station 
Source: Reuters 

YEREVAN, Reuters via NewsPage : Energy-starved Armenia on Monday
reopened a nuclear power station it closed six years ago shortly
after an earthquake, a government spokesman said.

The Metsamor power station was turned on to allow all the
Soviet-designed systems to be checked, he said.

Armenian officials have said the plant will be monitored for at
least a month before one of its two reactors begins to produce
electricity.

Armenia is in the grip of a serious energy shortage and says it has
to reopen the power station because it has no alternative sources of
energy.

     A task force setting up the new European Environment Agency (EEA) has 
warned that much
     of the data available from individual countries is inadequate for the 
organisation's role in
     co-ordinating environmental monitoring. The EEA has been charged with 
standardising
     environmental data as a basis for common environmental regulations. 
However, according to
     the task force, information from Eastern Europe is particularly 
unreliable, while even within the
     EU the use of different methods of measurement means it is impossible 
to produce reliable
     European databases on many important variables, including air, water 
and noise pollution, and
     the movement of endangered species.
     The agency's Executive Director, Domingo Jimenez-Beltran, recently 
claimed that about
     two-thirds of the EU's directives on environmental reporting were "not 
working" because of
     inadequate reporting by member states [see ED 1995/1].

Performance Measurement for Sustainable Development:
Compendium of Experts, Initiatives and Publications


The International Institute for Sustainable Development's Measurements and 
Indicators of Sustainable Development Performance program has recently 
completed it's publication "Performance Measurement for Sustainable 
Development:  Compendium of Experts, Initiatives and Publications".

This publication (approximately 300 pages, and listing over 200 entries), 
profiles the experts, as
well as the major institutions and  projects with an interest in indicators 
to monitor sustainable
development performance.  Annotated bibliographies of more than 125 of the 
more relevant
publications in this field are provided as well.  This publication also 
incorporates the work of our
earlier report on SD indicator initiatives in Canada, "Measuring Sustainable 
Development
Performance:  Canadian Initiatives", which listed 57 governmental, academic, 
non-governmental,
multilateral and private sector projects and institutions.  Both these 
publications are now presented
in one volume which is available for widespread distribution.

Sajnos ez tegnap elveszett az Interneten, a hibauzenet szerint a

Kedves (Bobko') Csaba,

Ez a 120 milliard kb. 10%-a a koltsegvetesnek. Az elso kerdes, hogy
forditanak-e egyaltalan osszesen ennyit kornyezetvedelemre. Felek,
hogy nem. Egyetertek a az osszes karok felbecslesevel, osszehason-
litva az elonyoket a haszonnal, de en szamokat eddig nem lattam, csak
azt, hogy coki az autosoknak. Igen politikus-tudomanyos hozzaallas.

Mondok mast. Egyszer mentem Hollandiaba ugy, hogy Pestrol a kocsimat
Drezdaba vitettem, es onnan vezettem tovabb, mert nem volt autosvonat.
Genfbol Pestre sincs, ezert vegig vezetek. Ausztrian keresztul ugyan
lenne, de pl. Pestrol Becsbe kocsival az ut 3 es 9 ora kozott mozog
(ezek voltak az en "rekordjaim"), ilyen szorassal nem lehet egy csat-
lakozast elerni. Nekem pedig kell a ket vegallomason az auto, mert
olyan helyre koltoztem, ahol szegenyes a tomegkozlekedes. En is azt
varom, ha majd lesz helyettesito, akkor atszallok. Elobb nem, mert
nincs hova. Es ez sem az autosok hibaja. Lehetne kamion- es szemely-
autoszallito vonatokat beallitani a forgalomba.

Ma szempontbol is veszelyes, ha ugy terheljuk meg az autosokat, hogy
a plusz adot nem arra forditjuk, amire kellene. Ugyanis egy ido utan
szuksegkeppen csokken a bevetel az autozas visszaszorulasa miatt,
de az igeny a kiadasokra nem, mert amire forditjak (a koltsegvetes
lyukainak betomese : csaladi potlek, nyugdij, bankkonszolidacio,
oktatas) nem fuggenek az autozastol olyan direkt modon, hogy az
autosok altal megtett kilometereket lefordithatnank a fenti szukseg-
letekre. A kormanyzatnak erdeke a nagy benzinfogyasztas, es nem
fair ezt az autosok nyakaba varrni.

Azt hiszed egyebkent, hogy a tarsadalomban ugy kulonulnek el az autosok,
kerekparosok es gyalogosok, mint a feherek, feketek es sargak Del-Afri-
kaban az apartheid idejen ?

U.S.-Poland accord signed by top environmental ministers 

EPA Administrator Carol M. Browner and Polish Minister of
Environment Stanislaw Zelichowski signed a Memorandum of
Understanding May 15 in Washington, D.C. Under the agreement, the two
countries will participate in a wide range of cooperative activities
in the areas of air pollution, water quality, hazardous, municipal
and industrial waste, environmental monitoring, environmental
assessments and audits, the environmental effects associated with
industrial privatization, the environmental effects of agricultural
and forestry management for sustainable development of forests and
the effects of pollution on human health. Poland is EPA's partner in
the largest and most complex environmental cooperation program in
Central and Eastern Europe. Prior projects have included assistance
in building a water treatment facility, assistance with a program to
control tanneries pollution, establishing an air monitoring network
and an early warning system and assistance for waste water treatment
equipment and drinking water treatment equipment to protect the Raba
River. For more information, contact EPA, +1-202-260-1383.
