Spain will not be supporting Argentina’s Falkland Islands sovereignty claim during the coming European Union and Latinamerican summit to be held next May 18 in Madrid, according to Falklands Legislative Assembly Member Roger Edwards recently back from Brussels.
MLA Roger Edwards attended the Forum for Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) of the European Union in Brussels, from 23-26 March where he acted in representation of the Falklands.
During the forum the Spanish Government issued a press release stating that at the coming Latam/EU leaders’ summit, the Spanish Government would not be supporting Argentina’s sovereignty claim over the Islands, should Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner ask for it.
“The sovereignty of the Falkland Islands”, the press release claimed, “was a matter for the British and Argentine Governments to decide without interference from other countries”.
However MLA Edwards also admitted that support from other countries (OCTs) attending the forum for the Falklands’ ongoing problems with Argentina “has not been realized”.
“The other countries were not content with the proposal that we put forward and so we wrote another one asking for a statement of support for the Falkland Islands,” he said. “Out of the 21 territories, I think we got seven votes in support.
“It’s very difficult for some of them. Those that sit off the coast of Venezuela, for instance, because they have their own problems and difficulties and obviously don’t want to rock the boat”.
The week long forum brought together representatives from 27 European countries and 21 overseas territories.
With MLA Edwards were FIG’s Senior Economic and Statistical Analyst Michael Poole and London Office representative Sukey Cameron.
Reference other issues addressed at the forum MLA Edwards said he was confident that by 2013 legislation favouring the Falklands’ fishing industry would be implemented.
“Once enacted Falklands’ fishing vessels would be able to land all their catch in Europe without being subject either to quotas, or to the necessity to have a certain percentage of the crew of European nationality”, said MLA Edwards.
Currently this latter requirement is waived by means of an annual derogation. Development funding from the European Union over the years was another issue.
Now just finishing the ninth tranche of financial support, a tenth tranche of 4.1 million Euros has recently been awarded to be used in budget support for funding various developments within the Falklands.
MLA Edwards praised the efforts of Michael Poole in coming to grips with the detailed requirements of this award.

- Of course, that is obvious, don't you think??? No one interfere with spain's claim of Gibraltar.
That will be interesting, it will be difficult for UK too. Its just a matter of time and as I always said, this is business!!!!
So Sorry Mr pirate Edwards, your ugly piracy is numbered.
Jihad Jorge the ugly pirate - why do you carry on lying? Argentina is the pirate here not the UK. But then you know that to be the case. Who would be an Argentinean?
LOL LOL LOL LOL - even Argentina's former colonial master - the one that Argentina 'claims' left the Falklands to Argentina in some form of dubious inherintence, doesn't support her spurious claim. The world knows that Argentina has no right to the Falklands at all.
A Muncie man was arrested Wednesday on charges stemming from an Aug. 20 police chase.
MUNCIE -- A Muncie man accused of leading a city police officer on a vehicle chase last month was arrested on related charges Wednesday.
Joseph Michael Hartman, 35, is preliminarily charged with resisting law enforcement, driving while suspended and reckless driving.
According to an affidavit, Hartman, of the 500 block of South Proud Street, was on a motorcycle on the evening of Aug. 20 when a city officer tried to pull him over for driving while suspended.
The Muncie man "very rapidly and aggressively accelerated" eastbound on Willard Street after the officer activated his vehicle's emergency lights, exceeding 50 mph in a residential area and running a red light at Willard and Hackley streets, the document said.
The officer, who had recognized Hartman, ended the pursuit for safety reasons.
Hartman was being held in the Delaware County jail on Thursday under a bond of $8,500.
The Muncie man is scheduled to stand trial Oct. 19 on an intimidation charge, filed last March, in Delaware Circuit Court 4. In seven separate Muncie City Court cases filed since last October, he is charged with driving while suspended.
His criminal record includes burglary convictions in Henry, Hamilton and Madison counties.
Lieut. Gov. Betsy McCaughey Ross insists that New York State's Liberal Party chose her as its gubernatorial nominee last weekend because the party leaders were impressed by her ideas. Ms. McCaughey Ross is either extremely evasive or incredibly naive. The Liberals have not been in the idea business for eons. Their atte...
The Liberals' only issue this election year is survival. The party's sole asset is its line on New York election ballots, which it treats like a valuable piece of real estate, trading the space off to candidates from other parties in return for jobs and other favors. To keep it, the party must get 50,000 votes for its ...
Gov. George Pataki will probably be difficult to beat under the best of circumstances this fall, and the Lieutenant Governor's willingness to divide the anti-Pataki vote in November is not likely to endear her to serious Democrats. There is another curiosity here beyond Ms. McCaughey Ross's shaky grasp of political loy...
For the Liberals, the political calculations were much less muddled. Normally, the party leaders simply cross-endorse the Democratic nominee for governor, and count on enough votes slipping over onto their line to make the quota. But it is not clear who the Democratic nominee will be. The man who is probably Ms. McCaug...
Only Ms. McCaughey Ross was willing to promise to betray her most recent new party. But if the state Democratic leaders do, in fact, feel betrayed, they have only themselves to blame. Election law should have been fixed long ago, to require that parties get the magic 50,000 votes with a candidate who is a bona fide mem...
The Obama administration has adamantly refused to count. Not a body. In fact, for a long time, American officials associated with Washington’s drone assassination campaigns and “signature strikes” in the backlands of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Yemen claimed that there were no bodies to count, that the CIA’s drones were...
When it came to “collateral damage,” there was no need to count because there was nothing to tote up or, at worst, such civilian casualties were “in the single digits.” That this was balderdash, that often when those drones unleashed their Hellfire missiles they were unsure who exactly was being targeted, that civilian...
That era ended on April 23rd when President Obama entered the White House briefing room and apologized for the deaths of American aid worker Warren Weinstein and Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto, two Western hostages of al-Qaeda. They had, the president confessed, been obliterated in a strike against a terrorist co...
When, however, victory proved illusory, that body count came to appear to ever more Americans on the home front like grim slaughter and a metric from hell. As a sign of success, increasingly detached from reality yet producing reality, it became a death-dealing Catch-22. As those bodies piled up and in the terminology ...
Over the last century, as “collateral damage” -- the deaths of civilians, rather than combatants -- has become ever more the essence of war, the importance of who is dying and in what numbers has only increased. When the U.S. military began refusing to make its body count part of a public celebration of its successes, ...
The most famous enumeration of civilian casualties in Iraq, however, comes from the constantly upgraded tally -- based on published media reports, hospital and morgue records, and the like -- of Iraq Body Count, the independent website that bills itself as “the public record of violent deaths following the 2003 invasio...
In Afghanistan, there has been less tallying, but the U.N. Mission there has kept a count of civilian casualties from the ongoing war and estimates the cumulative figure, since 2001, at21,000 (though again, that is undoubtedly a conservative figure). However, when it comes to the American drone campaigns in Pakistan an...
The London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism, in particular, has done careful as well as dogged work tabulating drone casualties in Pakistan and Yemen, including counts and estimates of all those killed by drones, of civilians killed by drones, and of children killed by drones. It even has a project, “Naming the...
Whatever our missteps, in other words, we Americans are exceptional killers in a world of ordinary ones. This attitude has infused Obama’s global assassination program and the White House “kill list” that goes with it and that the president has personally overseen. Pridein his killing agenda was evident in the decision...
Are you selling the team?
About the only thing Loria would acknowledge was that he spoke to the team, as is his annual custom.
And with that, Loria pulled his door shut and drove off.
Jeffrey Loria said "there's nothing to talk about" re Marlins sale and ambassador rumblings. Was whisked away in SUV, avoiding media.
As Loria was making his getaway, team president David Samson was confirming to reporters that the team was for sale and that Loria was being considered for the ambassadorship.
Loria speaks to the team before the first full-squad workout of spring training every year, then hops in a golf court and watches players pitch and hit for the first time.
But this year, with reports of the Marlins being sold and Loria being chosen for a diplomatic position in Donald Trump’s administration, he made himself scarce.
The parking spot where Loria’s car is normally parked at was empty. Instead, his chauffeur parked it in an inconspicuous spot behind the clubhouse, out of view of reporters.
And Loria didn’t hang around to watch practice.

I went to see a Miles Davis Experience concert, and something strange happened: I learned something.
The group’s concert at the Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall last week wasn’t like any concert I had ever seen. I’d had my fill of music from the jazz legend, but I gained a lot of insight about the man himself.
This touring show is a Blue Note Records collaboration, and it is a well-oiled machine. In between songs, a narrator (Donald Lacy) walked onstage and delivered poems and anecdotes. Meanwhile, different images of Davis and other jazz musicians flashed on three screens behind him.
Jason Palmer hit every note on the trumpet, while Walter Smith channeled every bit of John Coltrane on the accompanying tenor sax. The way Sam Harris played the piano was almost incomprehensible to me. His hands raced up and down the ivory as he seemed to be completely out of control and in complete control at the same...
Then again, isn’t that what jazz is supposed to be?
Still, the legends almost overshadowed their own music. Throughout the show, snippets of interviews by Davis, Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie played over the PA — for the record, they’re all dead.
Davis’ quote at the beginning of the show set the tone for the evening, and I’m still thinking about the back end of it a few days later.
I refuse to celebrate Christmas before Thanksgiving, but I’ll jump into the holiday spirit after I wake up from my turkey-induced nap Thursday afternoon.
I don’t have many ornaments or decorations that I put up, but my Bose Wave Radio will get a healthy dose of Christmas carols for the next month.
This month, I’m welcoming the Keane family into my home. Local producer John Keane and his two 17-year-old daughters, Paige and Rachel, have released their own album, “O Christmas, Where Art Thou,” and it’s a good one.
A few of my favorites like “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and “O Holy Night” are represented by lovely harmonies and acoustic arrangements that are warm but not overpowering.
This is a family project that makes anything I’ve ever done with my family look a little underwhelming. You can get your copy online at johnkeanestudios.com.

CELEBRATIONS; It's Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwaanza: Let There Be Light!
Today, at 3:07 P.M. Eastern standard time, the northern hemisphere is tilted as far away from the sun as it ever gets, marking the moment called the winter solstice. And many New Jerseyans -- even those still finishing their Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa shopping -- will be taking note at some point during the weeken...
Richard Clarkson, a 53-year-old delivery-service manager, plans to be in Landing this afternoon, in the middle of a field, standing in a circle with others who belong to a Morris County group called the Center for Spiritual Enfoldment. Lillian Mulligan, who has been a member of a mission church in Camden for 23 years, ...
Early man found his first deities in the rhythms of nature: times for hunting, planting and harvesting and for giving birth. These days people tend to consult the calendar. If it's the 25th day of Kislev (which begins at sundown on Dec. 23 this year), Jews are lighting the first candle of Hanukkah. On the 25th of Decem...
These celebrations are at least one of the reasons that the candle business is booming. The National Candle Association, a Washington-based trade group, says total retail sales of candles nationwide are growing at an annual average rate of 25 percent, and will reach about $2 billion this year. More than a third of thos...
What is it about the waxing and waning of light that makes it such a peg for celebrations? Part of the answer may lie in its absolute predictability. Ice ages might come and go, rainy seasons might shorten or lengthen. But, at any given latitude, the seasonal change in the length of the day is a rock-steady beat, one t...
Studies on light's effects have been increasing since the 1980's, when seasonal affective disorder, or winter depression, was first identified. It is a condition that disproportionately affects women. Scientists are testing whether that disparity might be linked to another gender difference. In approximately one out of...
Clifford Geertz, a noted anthropologist now at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, has concluded that man's physical evolution was inextricably entwined with his social evolution. It is no surprise that the cycle of light and dark marked by our bodies is also marked by so many religions.
Before it was Christmas, Dec. 25 was the Birthday of the Inconquerable Son, the Natalis Solis Invicti, in honor of Mithras, a Persian deity absorbed into the Roman world in the first century B.C. The Romans were also celebrating Saturnalia at that time, the winter solstice. (The word comes from the Latin words for sun ...
Christianity eventually absorbed many of the traditions of both, including strong nuances of light and dark symbolism -- so much so that popes repeatedly admonished the faithful to abandon rites that seemed too heathen. In the 17th century, English Puritans felt compelled to outlaw the celebration of Christmas, a ban t...
Rabbi Eliezer Diamond at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan, the nerve center of Conservative Judaism, said that Hanukkah, too, most likely builds on a previous solstice celebration, though its narrative roots go to the struggle of fundamentalist Jews against the assimilationist pressures of the Greek Syrian ...
Dr. Maulana Karenga, a California black studies professor, was therefore following an ancient precedent of piggybacking holidays when, in 1966, he invented the seven-day celebration of Kwanzaa for African Americans and placed it in late December. Intended as a way to dignify black life, the central ritual is, of course...
The range of interpretations of fire and light that will be invoked this season appears to be endless.
Mrs. Mulligan's celebration this year, turning all the lights out, is far simpler than some she has enjoyed in the past. Her son, John Hasse, studied in Spokane, Wash., with an Indian leader named Sun Bear who has since died. But for a few years, he turned the Mullica Hills house and its 24 wooded acres into a religiou...
Practicing an earth-centered religion in an urban setting yields some peculiar twists. The druid group that will celebrate Yule in Bryan Perry's Jersey City loft is named Greenman Grove, after the faces carved into stone buildings. They have often used the nearby Statue of Liberty, with her upraised torch, as a symbol ...
For most of the solstice celebrants, the idea means more than the actual moment. In fact, some people said they would celebrate a tad early.
For instance, the seven members of the Red Oak Grove, a new druid group in Mount Holly, planned to start Friday evening, lighting candles at sunset, and praying, singing, feasting and extinguishing the candles one by one until all was dark at midnight.
Then they planned to light them again one by one, accompanied by more praying, singing and feasting, until dawn, when they would head back outside to greet the sun.
De'Anza has been called the leading lady of Latin alternative. Her new video for "Want" and upcoming EP demonstrate why.
Based in Los Angeles, De'Anza has made a name for herself over the last few years by combining traditional elements of Latin music with doses of the psychedelic and the spiritual. Her new EP, Cosmic Dream, arrives on June 29 and is poised to bring her to a wider audience, one that embraces the spacey, the strange and t...
Cosmic Dream is an effort tied together by reflections on different stages of the sleep cycle and De'Anza delivers an appropriately heady group of tunes and interludes on this new effort that reflect our sleep/dream states hazy twilight. She's also delivered a new video for the song "Want". The clip was conceptualized ...
Cosmic Dream is out June 29 and may be ordered here or here. She will perform at Amoeba Hollywood on June 28.
Which came first with this EP, the songs or the concept?
Definitely the songs. The first thing I wrote was "¿Estás Recibiendo?" ("Are You Receiving?"). I had actually written that years ago but I didn't show it to my producer at first because I didn't think it was good enough. But I wrote them all little by little over the years and then the concept is something that I came ...
How did you go about capturing that sleeplike quality we hear throughout?
I guess you could say I'm fascinated with sleep and with lucid dreaming. "La Puerta" has is very spacey. The vocal melody isn't really set. It's more like a trip. There's a mystic I follow, a guru (Paramahansa Yogananda), who talks about the cosmic dream. I read that and thought it was a fascinating concept. I wrote th...
Tell me a little bit about the track "Want."
It was actually the last song that I wrote for the EP. I already had four full-length songs and I knew that I wanted to do something a little more upbeat. There were already two difficult songs, "Llena De Gracia" and "War." I wanted something that was a little more lively. I'd been listening to a lot of funk and so wro...
