The Diversion of the Water From the Meuse The European Commission of the Danube was established in 1856 as a purely temporary and technical organ, powers of a jurisdictional character being left to the territorial authorities. The Treaty of Versailles declared the Danube an international river from Ulm to the sea and confirmed the European Commission in the powers which it had possessed before the war. The Special Committee thereupon held further consultations with the members of the European Commission of the Danube and obtained their agreement to submit to the Court for an advisory opinion the question at issue, a proposal to bring the matter before the Court for judgment having been rejected by the Roumanian delegate. www.internationalwaterlaw.org /Cases/EC-Danube.htm   (302 words)

DANUBE - LoveToKnow Article on DANUBE The value of these early works of the commission is shown by the fact that of 2928 vessels navigating the lower Danube in 1855, 36 were wrecked, while of 2676 in 1865 only 7 were wrecked. In 1894, owing to the constantly increasing size of vessels frequenting the Danube, it was found necessary to deepen the entrance still further, and to construct two parallel piers between the main jetties, reducing the breadth of the river to 500 ft., and thereby increasing the scour. The Danube between Linz and Vienna is renowned not only for its picturesque beauty but for the numerous medieval and modern buildings of historical and archaeological interest which crown its banks. www.1911encyclopedia.org /D/DA/DANUBE.htm   (3864 words)

The Slovak Spectator - Slovakia's English Language Newspaper The plans, which include not just the construction of a new canal stretching from the Black Sea to the North Sea but the construction of new navigation lanes in the Bratislava-Budapest section of the river, have been developed by bodies including the European Commission, national governments bordering the Danube, and the Budapest-based inter-governmental Danube Commission. "The plans for the Danube are not only against common sense, but they also conflict with national, international and EU nature protection regulations, and directly contradict recent commitments in the region," the WWF said in a statement. The planned canal is of particular importance to the future of some ecosystems in Slovakia, threatening the natural habitats of a number of species. www.slovakspectator.sk /clanok_tlac.asp?cl=5580&rub=spect_news   (3864 words)

WISE NC: RADIOACTIVE SEWAGE FROM ROMANIAN NPP IN DANUBE A special commission set up by the Romanian government has decided that sewage from the new nuclear power plant Cernavoda in Romania may be drained into the Danube and the Danube- Black Sea Canal. This commission decided to allow the NPP to dispose of its sewage into the Danube and the Danube-Black Sea Canal for as long as this contains less than 5% of the internationally-allowed levels of radioactive substances. They feared that the sewage could contain radioactive tritium and carbon and that it would contaminate the Danube, the source of drinking water for the Romanian people. www.antenna.nl /~wise/444/4397.html   (3864 words)

Hrastovac ~ Lutheranism & Danube Swabians In all areas and communities of the Batschka and the Banat, all Danube Swabians men from 18 to 40 years of age, and all women from 18 to 30 had to report to an assembly area where they were examined physically to determine if they were able bodied for labor by a Russian commission. Estimates of the numbers of Danube Swabians in Yugoslavia who were victims of mass shootings, starvation, and the diseases which raged in the camps and other causes, have been set at about 175,000 persons, which is 32.7% of the population reported in 1939. The final destiny of thousands of men and women from the Danube Swabian communities is still unknown and has not seen the light day, and eye witnesses are no longer alive in the terms of the perpetrators of the genocide program while the testimony of the survivors could fill volumes. www.dvhh.org /hrastovac/historical/Voelkermord-der-Tito-Parisanen.htm   (3884 words)

Encyclopedia: Danube Delta The Treaty of Paris of 1856 which ended the Crimean War, Danube Delta together with two districts of Southern Bessarabia was included in the Principality of Moldavia and was established an international commission which made a series of works to help navigation. The Danube Delta (Delta Dunării in Romanian), located in Dobrogea, Romania and a small part in Odes'ka oblast', Ukraine, is the largest and best preserved of European deltas, with an area of 3446 km². Near Tulcea, the Danube is divided in three river branches before it flows into the Sea: Chilia, Sulina and Sfântu Gheorghe (Saint George), but many other channels split the Delta into areas with reed, marshes and forests, some of which are flooded during the spring and autumn. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Danube-Delta   (1492 words)

WWF calls on the European Commission and national authorities to halt further degradation of valuable sites and to ensure that plans for new infrastructure developments comply with EU environmental acquis. These threats range from conventional timber logging in Lithuania to planned extension of the EU network of motorways through the Biebrza National Park in Poland and the Kresna Gorge in Bulgaria. forests.org /articles/reader.asp?linkid=19606   (244 words)

Lecture 10 - UN Reform from the Standpoint of the United States The Commission is obliged to work on the unification of all navigational conditions on the Danube with regard to the specific conditions in some river sections, including pilot services, utilization of hydrometeorological and hydrological data, collection of statistical data about shipping, and issuance of navigational aid. These lowered levels in the Danube's main bed resulted in a situation where not only collateral branches of the river remained half empty during most of the year, but also lowered embankments and cracked the walls of buildings in many cities and villages due to land depression. According to a rapid initial survey for the future preserves in Central Europe, floodplain areas of the Danube are among 24 major areas selected as new opportunities for nature conservation in the new Europe. www.unu.edu /unupress/lecture10.html   (244 words)

Ukraine Now - News - General - European Commission Expresses Regret About Completion Of Danube-Black Sea Canal's First Phase UNESCO, which has designated the Danube biosphere reserve as part of its international network of Man and Biosphere reserves, has expressed the belief that the option that was selected for construction of the Danube-Black Sea shipping lane in the Bystre Estuary is the most ecologically harmful of all the possible construction options. On Wednesday, August 25, the Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Ministry expressed the hope that the international community's questions regarding Ukraine's restoration of the Danube-Black Sea shipping canal would end. Ukraine is insisting that the project involved only restoration of the shipping canal that existed until the 1950s and not construction of a new canal, as the international community claims. www.ukrnow.com /content/view/441/28   (244 words)

The Diversion of the Water From the Meuse Negulesco therefore concludes that, according to the law in force, the European Commission does not possess any powers over the Galatz-Braila sector, its powers being limited to the lower Danube downstream of Galatz excluding that port, and that the Galatz-Braila sector falls under the jurisdiction of the International Commission. Furthermore, since the Statute makes no distinction between the powers which the European Commission exercises between Galatz and Braila and those which it exercises below Braila, there is no need to investigate the facts with a view to finding reasons for rejecting the argument to the contrary advanced by Roumania. The intention of both the Treaty of Versailles and the Definitive Statute was to perpetuate the system which had worked satisfactorily before the war; it was not to fix a definite limit to the powers of the European Commission. www.internationalwaterlaw.org /Cases/EC-Danube.htm   (1333 words)

4. SUMMARY OF DECISIONS BY INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNALS INCLUDING ARBITRAL AWARDS The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 declared the Danube an international river from Ulm to the sea and confirmed the jurisdiction of the European Commission in the powers vested in it before the war. The Definitive Statute placed the entire navigable Danube under an international regime, and the jurisdiction of the European Commission extended from Ulm to Braila (Article 9) that is to say, as far as Braila. Romania expressed different view with regard to the powers of the Commission in the sector Galatz-Braila from that of France, Great Britain and Italy. www.fao.org /DOCREP/005/W9549E/w9549e07.htm   (11456 words)

Business in Romania blog: Doing business in Romania and business issues Platvoet, who made a visit to the Danube Delta between October 27 and 31, said organizations such as the European Commission and the International Commission for Protecting the Danube have asked Ukraine to stop the works in the Bastroe canal until a study on their impact on the environment will be carried out. The Ukrainian project of building a navigable canal on one of Danube's branches might have "serious and irreversible effects" on the ecosystem, said Leo Platvoet, the rapporteur of the General Assembly of the Council of Europe (APCE), in a press release published on the APCE website. The attempts to convince Ukraine of the importance of such a study was unsuccessful, said Platvoet. business-romania.blogspot.com /2004_11_01_business-romania_archive.html   (11456 words)
