Lockheed Martin/Airbus A330 MRTT

Capitalizing on delays to deliveries of Boeing KC-46A Pegasus tankers to the U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin in December signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus to offer aerial refueling services to U.S. customers using the A330 MultiRole Tanker Transport. Under the agreement, the companies will also work together to meet requirements for the next generation of tankers. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

EASA certifies A330neo for “beyond 180 minutes” ETOPS https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press-releases/en/2019/01/easa-certifiesa330neo-for-beyond-180-minutes-etops.html

Airbus 28,01,2019

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has approved the A330-900 for ETOPS (Extended-range Twin engine aircraft Operations) ―beyond 180 minutes‖ diversion time. This significant achievement means that operators of the A330neo, which is powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, will benefit from the most efficient, reliable and direct long-range routings.

The approval, which includes ETOPS 180 min. capability in the aircraft‘s basic specification, now also includes the option for ―ETOPS 285 min.‖ This extends the potential air diversion distance to around 2,000nm. The U.S. FAA‘s respective ETOPS certification is expected soon.

A330neo operators which choose the ETOPS 285 min. option will be able to serve new direct ‗non-limiting‘ routings. Meanwhile, operators flying on existing routes (currently flown with up to 180-minute diversion time) will be able to traverse a straighter, quicker and more fuel efficient path, and also have access to more – and possibly better equipped – en-route diversion airports if needed.

Page 6 of 41

The granting of this ETOPS capability is a testimony to the aircraft‘s design and systems maturity, which has been demonstrated to be as good as its predecessor – the versatile and extremely reliable A330-200/A330-300 family, proven over many millions of flights.

The A330neo is a true new-generation aircraft family comprising the A330-900 and the smaller A330-800. The A330-900 in particular is the lowest seat-mile cost 300seater which incorporates highly efficient Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, a new 3Doptimised wing with greater span and lighter composite materials, plus new wingtip Sharklets. Together, these advances bring greater range (around 7,200 nm with a three-class cabin) and 25% lower fuel consumption compared with older generation aircraft of similar size.

The A330 is one of the most popular widebody families ever, having received over 1,700 orders to date from 120 customers. More than 1,400 A330s are flying with over 120 operators worldwide. The A330neo is the latest addition to the leading Airbus twin-engine widebody family, which alongside the A350 XWB, offer unmatched space and comfort combined with unprecedented efficiency levels and long-range capability.

In 2009, the Airbus A330-200/-300 became the first airliner family to gain an ETOPS ‗Beyond 180min‘ certification, which was granted by EASA. Airbus twin-engine airliners have accumulated over 20 million ETOPS flight hours, most of which have been accumulated by the A330 Family.

Coolant-through mini toolholders https://www.aerospacemanufacturinganddesign.com/product/rego-fix-recool-minitoolhoders-012819/

Aerospace Manufacturing&Design January 28, 2019

Whitestown, Indiana – The Rego-Fix reCool coolant-through system is a quick, cost-effective, low-maintenance way to add the benefits of internal cooling to the live tooling used in CNC turning operations – and the expanded mini range of holders brings those benefits to small-parts production, especially on high-volume Swiss-style machines. reCool converts an existing tooling system to include through coolant in 2 minutes. The system sends coolant to the cutting edge much more effectively than external spray pipes or nozzles. reCool applies to spindle speeds up to 12,000rpm and delivers coolant pressure up to 1,000psi (higher speeds and coolant pressures are optional).

Manufacturers who add reCool to their CNC turning operations remove heat from the cutting zone while they achieve better surface finishes, longer tool life, improved chip control and increased overall productivity. Furthermore, reCool's simple structure and special lubricated bearings make it an affordable, low-maintenance internal cooling system that provides ideal cooling of the cutting edge with either emulsion or oil and without scattering or spray losses.

Rego-Fix will showcase its new and expanded range of reCool miniature toolholders for smaller size ER collets in booth #5080 at the 2019 Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS), held at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio, April 2-4, 2019.

Aerospace Manufacturing&Design January 18, 2019

Athol, Massachusetts– The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced a spring testing solution for compression and extension springs. The new Starrett S1 Spring Testing Systems were developed for high-volume production testing for users seeking more consistent results over manual testing methods.

Starrett S1 Systems feature test templates that enable the user to create a test set up in seconds using one and two-point methods, with test targets being load or height-based. In addition, the small footprint of the S1 System makes it suited for insitu production areas. Spring rate, spring constant, free length, solid height, and initial tension can be measured, and tolerances can be used to determine immediate pass/fail results, viewable in graphic or tabular formats.

Software features of Starrett S1 Spring Testing Systems enable the use of preconditioning options to exercise springs prior to testing, the ability to scrag for a number of cycles or duration or compress to a load set and hold for a duration. Single or dual test limits may be used and target Page 9 of 41

load or height/length for determining spring rate, spring constant, load, and length at target limits; initial tension and measured free length can be specified.

The system‘s statistics view displays key statistical information for the user‘s batch including mean, range, standard deviations, and tolerance results. Custom reports can also be printed and data can be exported to Microsoft Excel or SPC Software such as ProLink‘s QC CALC application.

Cap. ARME DE FOC și MUNIȚIE Standardizarea armamentelor europene (26) European armaments standardisation https://www.iss.europa.eu/sites/default/files/EUISSFiles/Defence%20study.pdf

Parlamentul European STUDY Requested by the SEDE Subcommittee PE 603.872 - October 2018 Policy Department for External Relations Directorate General for External Policies of the Union

3.3 Comparing the approaches Based on these initiatives up to the Commission‘s 2015 progress report, it is possible to highlight some key differences between EU and NATO approaches to armaments standardisation (see Figure 8). Institutionally speaking, NATO has an established set of bodies and a dedicated agency focusing on armaments standardisation but in the case of the EU at two least institutions – the Commission and the EDA – are responsible for standardisation. NATO has a longer track record of developing standards (in the form of STANAGs) than the EU, even though the EU has growing experience. For example, the EDA presides over the Military Airworthiness Authorities (MAWA) Forum which has developed and adopted five defencerelated standards (more on MAWA in the next chapter). In the EU, the bulk of hybrid standards have been developed by the three EU-recognised ESOs: CEN, CENELEC and ETSI. It should be noted that the European Commission has stakeholder buy-in in the civil and security sectors, whereas NATO has a dedicated defence-industrial advisory forum on armaments standardisation in the form of the NIAG. For example, as part of its efforts on security research and innovation the Commission established a European Security Research and Innovation Forum (ESRIF) in 2007 to serve as a bridge between the EU institutions and industry. The ESRIF played an important role in developing a public-private dialogue over the use of civil standards and it opened the door for further thinking about how civil standards could be applied to the security and defence sectors.

One area that highlights the difference between EU and NATO approaches to armaments standardisation is legislation. Directive 2009/81/EC has opened the door to setting legal parameters for defence procurement and part of this legal norm sees standardisation as a key part of opening up the European defence market.

Directive 2009/43/EC is designed to facilitate cross-border transfers of defence equipment and to create a European internal market for defence. The alliance has no such mandate to develop and apply these forms of legal instruments. While NATO does not have any equivalent to the EU‘s defence directives, however, this should not necessarily imply that the EU can enhance armaments standardisation via legal fiat. In fact, directives are a form of EU soft law that do not have direct effect in Member States. According to a recent evaluation by the Commission, in the case of Directive 2009/81/EC its application has been uneven across the Union and it has been under-utilised for high-value defence contracts (European Commission, 2016b).

While the directive is principally aimed at removing market distorting behaviour such as the use of defence offsets, it is nonetheless arguable whether this legal instrument has led to any substantial improvement in armaments standardisation in the EU. Figure 8 – Comparing EU and NATO approaches to standardisation

Page 12 of 41

Despite these nuanced differences, however, the EU and NATO do share a number of approaches to armaments standardisation. Both organisations rely on the voluntary adoption of standards andstakeholder consultation in order to push for the use of these standards. With the exception of the EU‘s defence package of directives, neither organisation has an effective sanctioning mechanism to enforce the use of defence-related standards. Therefore, greater effort is needed to raise awareness with governments, militaries and other stakeholders in relation to available standards and to provide advice on their application, if so required. NATO bodies such as the NAC, CS, CNAD, MC and NSO propose STANAGs to allied members and the Commission and EDA advertise hybrid standards through EDSIS and EDSTAR. In this respect, while NATO largely develops STANAGs based on the advice of the NIAG and the MC (i.e. industrial and military feedback and proposals), the EU is largely but not exclusively geared to identifying defence-relevant civil standards that are developed by CEN, CENELEC and ETSI. Either way, neither NATO nor the EU can force any stakeholder to adopt and use existing defencerelevant standards. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

Cap. NAVAL Floating platform for civil protection and disaster relief https://www.gdels.com/pr.php?news=125

General Dynamics 2019-01-28

General Dynamics European Land Systems-Bridge Systems (GDELS-Bridge Systems) announced today that it has been awarded a contract to develop a multifunctional, modular floating platform known as Pontoon Boat, or PoBo. The project was awarded under the Innovation Programme for the Support of Diversification Strategies of Defense Companies in Civil Security Technologies, or DIVERS. DIVERS is a program launched by Germany‘s Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWI), with VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH as the responsible project executing agency. ―The PoBo is a modularly configurable floating device,‖ said Sascha Wahlster, head of civil activities for GDELS-Bridge Systems. ―It can be used to assemble heavy-duty transport, working, diving and recovery platforms or bridges.‖ ―By means of specially developed propulsion systems and supported by drone based underwater sensors, safe, semi-autonomous driving in flooded and unmapped areas will be made possible,‖ said Wahlster.

The PoBo will be developed to be ergonomically friendly, and will have a mobile virtual reality system to conduct fast and cost-effective training.

GDELS-Bridge Systems, the market leader in military floating bridges is a part of the newly-established General Dynamics European Land Systems–Deutschland. The company, which employs 400 people, has been developing and producing these systems in Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, for 65 years.

"Essential for the success of our application was the integration not only of existing long-standing cooperation partners such as the Entwicklungszentrum für Schiffstechnik und Transportsysteme e.V. (Development Centre for Ship Technology and Transport Systems, DST) in Duisburg and the Bremen-based company szenaris specialized in learning programs and simulations for digital learning,‖ said Christian Kauth, Managing Director of GDELS-Bridge Systems. ―Through our collaboration in the Science and Innovation Alliance Kaiserslautern (SIAK) and the Commercial Vehicle Cluster (CVC), many new cooperation approaches have emerged.‖ ―Consequently, the integration of the Institute for Robotic Systems at Kaiserslautern University of Technology and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITWM) into the project developed,‖ Kauth said. ―The decisive factor, however, was that we were able to win the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) in close cooperation with national fire brigades and police authorities as a project partners, as this is the only way to successfully develop a system that optimally supports relief, rescue and security forces in their challenging tasks worldwide."

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Acting Secretary Shanahan, Secretary Mark Esper, Secretary Wilson, distinguished members of Congress, members of the Joint Chiefs, the leadership of the Armed Forces of the United States, and to all of you who wear the uniform of the United States of America. It is my honor to be with you here today at the Pentagon as our President unveils his vision for our renewed commitment to American missile defense.

As Commander-in-Chief, President Trump has no higher priority than the safety and security of the American people. And it‘s, frankly, the greatest honor of my life to serve as Vice President to a President who cares so deeply about the men and women of our Armed Forces and their families.

Today, along with all of you, our hearts and our prayers are with the families of the fallen American heroes who were lost in Syria yesterday, as well as those service members who were wounded.

We honor their service and we will honor the memory of the fallen. And their families and our Armed Forces should know their sacrifice will only steel our resolve; that as we begin to bring our troops home, we will do so in a way that ensures that the remnants of ISIS will never be able to reestablish their evil and murderous caliphate.

(Applause.)

It‘s in that same spirit of resolve that we gather here today. Since day one of this administration, President Trump has taken decisive action to make the strongest military in the history of the world stronger still.

Working with members of Congress in both parties, we‘re rebuilding our military, restoring the arsenal of democracy. And last year, President Trump signed the largest investment in our national defense since the days of Ronald Reagan, including the largest military pay raise in nearly a decade. (Applause.)

At the President‘s direction, we released a National Security Strategy that puts America first, pursued the modernization of our nuclear arsenal. And President Trump has taken decisive action to extend American dominance on land, at sea, in air, and in cyberspace, and even called for the establishment of a sixth branch of our Armed Forces to ensure American dominance in space.

In the last two years, our President has made great progress to provide for the common defense. And today, by unveiling our new strategy for missile defense, President Trump will take another critical step to ensure the safety and security of the American people and our very way of life.

This President knows that the American people believe that America First begins with peace through strength.

So now it is my high honor and distinct privilege to introduce your Commander-inChief, the 45th President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump.

(Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT: Wow, that‘s really nice. Thank you. You‘re only doing that because I gave you the greatest and biggest budget in our history. (Laughter.) And I‘ve now done it two times. (Applause.) And I hate to tell the rest of the world, but Page 17 of 41

I‘m about to do it three times. So — (applause) — so that‘s the only reason you gave me such a nice welcome.

Thank you very much. And thank you to Vice President Pence for that wonderful introduction. It‘s an honor to be at the Pentagon with so many distinguished military leaders, and I especially want to recognize our Acting Defense Secretary, Patrick Shanahan. He‘s been fantastic — wherever you may be, Patrick. Thank you.

(Applause.) Thank you.

We were talking just as I came on. I said, ―Pat, I have to go now.‖ We‘re talking defense and we‘re also talking offense, you know? We can‘t forget offense either, can we? We have the finest weapons in the world, and we‘re ordering the finest weapons in the world. That, you can be sure of.

We‘re here to present the results of my administration‘s Missile Defense Review.

Our goal is simple: to ensure that we can detect and destroy any missile launched against the United States — anywhere, anytime, anyplace.

As we all know, the best way to keep America safe is to keep America strong. And that‘s what we‘re doing. Stronger than ever.

Joining us for today‘s presentation are great champions of missile defense in Congress: Senator Dan Sullivan, my friend. Thank you, Dan, very much. And Representative Mike Turner. Thank you, Mike. Thank you very much.

Also joining us from the Department of Defense are Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist. David, thank you. Secretary Mark Esper. Secretary Heather Wilson. Thank you. Under Secretaries of Defense Michael Griffin, Ellen Lord, and John Rood. General Paul Selva. Thank you. Thank you, General.

General Mark Milley. Thank you, Mark. Thank you. Thank you. And congratulations. Very importantly, congratulations. General Joseph Lengyel. And General James McConville. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you.

Before presenting the results of our Missile Defense Review, I want to take a moment to express my deepest condolences to the families of the brave American heroes who laid down their lives yesterday in selfless service to our nation. These are great people. Great, great people. We will never forget their noble and immortal sacrifice.

This morning, I also would like to briefly address another matter of critical national security: the humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border.

Without a strong border, America is defenseless, vulnerable, and unprotected. I also want to thank the military for helping us out during the big caravan period. But now you have more caravans forming, and they‘re on their way up. Thousands and thousands of people. We don‘t know where they‘re from, who they are — nothing.

We need strong borders. We need strong barriers and walls. Nothing else is going to work. Everyone knows it. Everybody is saying it now. It‘s just a question of time.

This should have been done many years ago. It should have been done by other — really, by other Presidents, and it wasn‘t, just like many of the other things we‘re doing that could have been done many years ago, whether it‘s our negotiations with North Korea, moving the embassy to Jerusalem. So many things were supposed to have been done many years ago, and they weren‘t. But we‘re doing them. A wall has to be built.

We need security at our southern border. Drugs flow in. Tremendous percentages of the drugs coming into our country come from the southern border. We‘re not going to allow it to happen. And that is why our Homeland Security professionals have asked Congress for a steel barrier between the ports of entry; to fund more agents, beds, medical supplies, and technology; and to close the ridiculous and dangerous immigration loopholes that no country in the world has but us.

The federal government remains shut down because Congressional Democrats refuse to approve border security. We‘re going to have border security. It‘s going to Page 18 of 41

be tight. It‘s going to be strong. We‘re going to let people into our country gladly, but they‘re going to come in legally. That includes for the farmers who need help and for others. But we are going to have powerful, strong border security.

While many Democrats in the House and Senate would like to make a deal, Speaker Pelosi will not let them negotiate. The Party has been hijacked by the open borders fringe within the Party. The radical left becoming the radical Democrats. Hopefully, Democrat lawmakers will step forward to do what is right for our country. And what‘s right for our country is border security at the strongest level. Stop human hijacking.

Stop drugs. Stop gangs. Stop criminals. That‘s what we‘re going to do. That was my pledge, and that‘s what we‘re going to do.

We‘re gathered together to outline the steps that we must take to upgrade and modernize America‘s missile defense. So important. In a time of rapidly evolving threats, we must be certain that our defensive capabilities are unrivaled and unmatched anywhere in the world.

All over, foreign adversaries, competitors, and rogue regimes are steadily enhancing their missile arsenals. All over. Their arsenals are getting bigger and stronger. And we‘re getting bigger and stronger, in every way. They‘re increasing their lethal strike capabilities, and they‘re focused on developing long-range missiles that could reach targets within the United States.

As President, my first duty is the defense of our country. First duty: the defense of our country. And defense has many different definitions and covers a lot of territory.

I will accept nothing less for our nation than the most effective, cutting-edge missile defense systems. We have the best anywhere in the world. It‘s not even close.

Our new strategy calls for six major changes in missile defense policy: First, we will prioritize the defense of the American people above all else. Our review calls for 20 new ground-based interceptors at Fort Greely, Alaska, and new radars and sensors to immediately detect foreign missiles launched against our great nation.

We are committed to establishing a missile defense program that can shield every city in the United States. And we will never negotiate away our right to do this.

Second, we will focus on developing new technology, not just investing more money into existing systems. The world is changing, and we‘re going to change much faster than the rest of the world.

This past Tuesday, the Iranian regime tested a ―space launch vehicle‖ — which failed — that will provide Iran with critical information — if it didn‘t fail — that they could use to pursue intercontinental ballistic missile capability, and a capability, actually, of reaching the United States. We‘re not going to have that happen.

The United States cannot simply build more of the same, or make only incremental improvements. What we‘ve done to Iran since I‘ve become President is rather miraculous. I ended the horrible, weak Iran Nuclear Deal. And I will tell you, Iran is a much different country today than it was two years ago. It‘s not the same and it won‘t be the same. And I do believe they want to talk.

It is not enough to merely keep pace with our adversaries; we must outpace them at every single turn. We must pursue the advanced technology and research to guarantee that the United States is always several steps ahead of those who would do us harm.

Third, we will protect the American people from all types of missile attacks. In the past, the United States lacked a comprehensive strategy for missile defense that extended beyond ballistic missiles.

Under our plan, that will change. The U.S. will now adjust its posture to also defend against any missile strikes, including cruise and hypersonic missiles. And we are, by the way, very advanced also on hypersonic technology and missiles. We will always be at the forefront of everything.

Page 19 of 41

Fourth, we will recognize that space is a new warfighting domain, with the Space Force leading the way.

My upcoming budget will invest in a space-based missile defense layer. It‘s new technology. It‘s ultimately going to be a very, very big part of our defense and, obviously, of our offense. The system will be monitored, and we will terminate any missile launches from hostile powers, or even from powers that make a mistake. It won‘t happen. Regardless of the missile type or the geographic origins of the attack, we will ensure that enemy missiles find no sanctuary on Earth or in the skies above.

This is the direction that I‘m heading. We have some very bad players out there, and we‘re a good player but we can be far worse than anybody, if need be. I‘ve always known — and I‘ve watched and I‘ve seen — the stronger you are, the less you will need, whatever that strength may be.

Fifth, we will remove bureaucratic obstacles to dramatically speed up the acquisition and deployment of the new technology.

And sixth, we will insist on fair burden sharing with our allies.

I‘ve made it clear we are protecting many, many wealthy, wealthy, wealthy, wealthy countries. One country, they said, has an unsustainable cash flow. In other words, they make so much money they don‘t know what to do with it. I said, ―Send it our way.‖ (Laughter.) ―We‘re protecting you. Send it our way.‖ We protect all of these wealthy countries, which I‘m very honored to do, but many of them are so wealthy they can easily pay us the cost of this protection.

So you‘ll see big changes taking place. And we‘ve had great talks with countries.

Friendly talks. One of them said, ―Mr. President, yes, we will work with you. But for 30 years, nobody has ever asked.‖ I said, ―Now we‘re asking.‖ It took a long time. I said, ―Now we‘re asking.‖ And that allows us to spend much more money than these incredible budgets, where it‘s just money going out and not coming back.

So, wealthy, wealthy countries that we‘re protecting are all under notice and all cooperating very nicely. I would say they probably liked other Presidents more than me, but that‘s okay. I don‘t blame them. I would too. (Laughter.) There was a recent poll in Europe. The original poll, when I first ran, I was one of the most popular people in the world. And now they said, ―He‘s not popular in Europe.‖ I shouldn‘t be — because I‘m asking them to step up. You have countries paying less than 1 percent in NATO. Last year, I raised $44 billion more by saying, ―I‘m sorry, you have to step up.‖ The year before that, my first year — so I was just getting started — I raised $24 billion with one meeting. And until that, it was just going down. It was going down. For 15 years, it was just going down, the numbers going into NATO. And this year we‘ll also have a good year. They‘re starting to step up. Very unfair when Germany pays 1 percent and we‘re paying 4.3 percent of a much larger GDP. We cannot be the fools for others. We cannot be. We don‘t want to be called that.

And I will tell you, for many years, behind your backs, that‘s what they were saying.

So there‘s a big difference. We‘re going to be with NATO 100 percent. But as I told the countries, you have to step up. You have to pay minimum numbers, actually.

The numbers should be much higher. They set a 2 percent goal. Very few pay that.

But they should be much higher than that. If you look at what we pay, it‘s massively higher than that.

So we have very good relationships, but countries are now stepping up, and they can well afford to.

In furtherance of this goal, our plan directs the Department of Defense to prioritize the sale of American missile defense and technology to our allies and to our partners. We want them to be able to defend. And they‘re willing to pay for the finest Page 20 of 41

missiles in the world. They‘ve already done that. They‘re stepping up like nobody has ever seen before, actually.

We will also leverage our network of partnerships to share early warning and tracking information, and detect missile launches as early as possible.

Today marks the beginning of a new era in our missile defense program. For too long, we have been held back by self-imposed limits while foreign competitors grow and they advance more than we have over the years. Part of the reason is we spend so much money on so many other places. Now that‘s changing. We‘re helping and we‘re able to spend money on technology and new defense, and far beyond defense systems. So those days are history.

Our strategy is grounded in one overriding objective: to detect and destroy every type of missile attack against any American target, whether before or after launch.

When it comes to defending America, we will not take any chances. We will only take action.

There is no substitute for American military might. But when I took office — you know it better than anybody in the world — our military was very tired. It was very depleted. I won‘t even tell you the things that some of our great generals were telling me. And now it‘s being rebuilt at a rapid rate and, very shortly, will be more powerful than ever before. And that‘s the way it has to be.

And as I said, the more powerful it is, the less likely it is that we‘ll ever have to use it.

But it will soon be more powerful than ever before.

Today, we reaffirm that a strong America remains the best way to prevent conflict, promote peace, preserve freedom, and protect our great people. Together, we unite behind a noble mission: to shield our country with the greatest missile defense systems anywhere on the face of the Earth.

I want to thank you again to the men and women of the American Armed Forces.

Special, special people. And the citizens of our country know that and acknowledge that, far more so than you would ever know. We have the greatest military at any time soon in the history of the world.

I want to just finish my saying I appreciate your service. You‘re incredible people.

God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.

(Applause.)

Cap. NATO/OTAN Secretary General in Washington: US leadership is key for NATO https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_162767.htm?selectedLocale=en

NATO | OTAN Last updated: 28 Jan. 2019 20:51

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg visited the Pentagon in Washington D.C. on Monday (28 January 2019) for talks with Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick M. Shanahan. Calling US leadership ―key‖ for the Alliance, the Secretary General highlighted the ―real results‖ seen over the past few years, including higher readiness, stepping up in the fight against terrorism, and better burden-sharing. He recalled that since 2016, European Allies and Canada have spent an extra 41 billion US dollars in real terms, and that by 2020, this figure is expected to increase to $100 billion.

Ahead of next month‘s meeting of Allied Defence Ministers in Brussels, Mr. Stoltenberg and Mr. Shanahan also exchanged views on a range of issues, including Russia‘s violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, and the Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan. They agreed to continue working together to implement the decisions made at the NATO Summit in July 2018.

The implementation of summit decisions, as well as other issues related to Allied security, were also on the agenda of Mr. Stoltenberg's meetings with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the National Security Advisor of the United States, Ambassador John R. Bolton.

George Ciamba: întâlnire cu viceprim-ministrul macedonean pentru afaceri europene, Bujar Osmani https://www.romania2019.eu/2019/01/28/convorbirile-ministrului-delegat-pentruafaceri-europene-george-ciamba-cu-viceprim-ministrul-macedonean-pentru-afacerieuropene-bujar-osmani/

România2019.EU

Ministrul delegat pentru afaceri europene, George Ciamba, a avut astăzi, 28 ianuarie 2019, convorbiri cu viceprim-ministrul pentru afaceri europene din Republica Macedonia, Bujar Osmani, aflat în vizită oficială în România.

Vizita are loc în contextul priorităţii acordate de Președinția română a Consiliului Uniunii Europene politicii de extindere, precum şi ca parte a dialogului bilateral intensificat dedicat susţinerii parcursului european al R. Macedonia.

Demnitarul român a reliefat semnificaţia deosebită a vizitei la Bucureşti a vicepremierului macedonean, care survine validării prin voturile legislativelor de la Skopje (11 ianuarie 2019), respectiv de la Atena (25 ianuarie 2019), a înţelegerilor asumate de ambele părţi prin acordul Prespa, pe care România l-a salutat şi l-a susţinut.

George Ciamba a transmis felicitări demnitarului macedonean pentru acest pas decisiv, care situează sub auspicii noi şi extrem de pozitive parcursul european al Republicii Macedonia. Ambele părţi au convenit că această abordare europeană, de reconciliere simbolică pentru soluţionarea unor chestiuni pendinte, va contribui la stabilitatea şi viitorul european al Balcanilor de Vest şi poate constitui un model pentru întreaga regiune. În context, ministrul delegat George Ciamba a exprimat sprijinul ferm al României pentru procesul de aderare a Republicii Macedonia la UE. Page 26 of 41

George Ciamba a subliniat că vizita vice-premierului macedonean la Bucureşti reconfirmă angajamentul Preşedinţiei române a Consiliului UE faţă de continuarea politicii de extindere, pe baza principiului meritelor individuale.

Cei doi demnitari au examinat stadiul reformelor complexe puse în aplicare de guvernul de la Skopje, în pregătirea adoptării de către Consiliul Uniunii Europene a unei decizii pozitive pentru lansarea negocierilor de aderare în iunie 2019. George Ciamba a salutat eforturile depuse de autorităţile macedonene şi a transmis sprijinul deplin pentru continuarea şi implementarea reformelor necesare. În cadrul convorbirilor, s-a convenit consolidarea cooperării bilaterale în domeniul afacerilor europene, prin intensificarea sprijinului politic şi tehnic al României, pe baza solicitărilor concrete de sprijin adresate de autorităţile de la Skopje.

George Ciamba a subliniat, totodată, importanţa unei mai bune comunicări strategice în Balcanii de Vest, care să crească nivelul de informare obiectivă cu privire la sprijinul politic, economic și social consistent al Uniunii față de regiune, de natură să contribuie la o rezilienţă consolidată a statelor din Balcanii de Vest și la susținerea, de către populație, a obiectivului aderării europene. În plan bilateral, a fost salutată dinamica ascendentă a dialogului politic, inclusiv la nivelul primminiștrilor, precum şi creșterea constantă a comerțului bilateral în ultimii ani și s-a agreat facilitarea cooperării intensificate între mediile de afaceri din cele două țări. Demnitarul român a subliniat necesitatea creşterii cooperării în domeniul educației și culturii în contextul situației minorităților înrudite din statele noastre, care constituie o legătură europeană între cele două state şi joacă un rol valoros în relaţia bilaterală.

Cap. INVESTIȚII State aid: Commission approves €36 million Polish investment aid to LG Chem's electric vehicles batteries plant http://europa.eu/rapid/midday-express.htm#

EUROPA The European Commission has found Poland's €36 million investment aid to chemical company LG Chem for a new electric vehicle batteries plant in the Dolnoślaskie region to be in line with EU State aid rules. The investment aid will support LG Chem's €325 million investment in a new vertically integrated manufacturing plant for the production of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in Poland. Li-ion batteries are used in electric vehicles and the new plant is expected to supply batteries for more than 80 000 electric vehicles per year in the European Economic Area (EEA). The project is expected to create more than 700 direct jobs. The manufacturing plant is located in the Dolnoślaskie region of Poland, an area eligible for regional aid (Art. 107(3)(a) of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union). The Commission assessed the aid measure under the Guidelines on Regional State Aid for 2014-2020, which enable Member States to support economic development and employment in the EU's less developed regions and to foster regional cohesion in the Single Market. The Commission found that: (i) without the public funding, the project would not have been carried out in Poland or any other EU country; (ii) the aid is limited to the minimum necessary to trigger the investment in Poland rather than outside the EEA; (iii) the investment aid will contribute to job creation as well as to the economic development and to the competitiveness of a disadvantaged region. The Commission concluded that the positive effects of the project on regional development clearly outweigh any distortion of competition brought about by the State aid. ...citește varianta integrală și originală urmărind link-ul ...

EUROPA The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control over a newly created joint ventureby AUNDE Group SE (AUNDE) and Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.

AUNDE develops and produces upholstery and technical textiles, as well as seat covers for car manufacturers. Brose produces seat structures for passenger cars.
