      Seit wann ist es eigentlich so, daß zur Stellungnahme bei Politischen Entscheidungen nur einige auserwählte Verbände angeschrieben werden und manche, die gar nicht dazu gehören? Das ist ja ein Skandal? ^^ "Mehrere [Apotheker] Verbände gaben an, weder postalisch noch per Mail über ihre Möglichkeit zur Stellungnahme informiert worden zu sein. Möglicherweise ist dem Ministerium beim Erstellen des Verteilers ein Fehler unterlaufen. Eine BMWi-Sprecherin konnte bislang keine Angaben machen. Dem Vernehmen nach wurden sogar einige Landesministerien bei der Abfrage ausgelassen. Andere haben dafür Wind von der „Anhörung“ bekommen, obwohl sie gar nicht eingeladen waren. ... ob das bei den anderen Kammerberufen auch so abläuft? Fragen wir die doch mal? ^^ Gemeinsam können wir heute Europa gestalten, damit wir es morgen erleben können und nicht nur bezahlen müssen. … ...to whom it may concern: Do not worry. A European communication platform for the professional associations is missing! In order to stabilize Europe and to enable a fair coexisting, it might not be of detriment to set up new information superhighway between politics, the professions and the public, as well as between and within professional organizations in the European partner organizations? Thus, we know just who exploits the system self-serving. Entry and exit points of ‘power’ - not just money - can be seen more easily when they are standardized. There are infinitely more good things to do than to feel sorry for a coalition of non-delegates. What about the people in their professions, and how it looks at their prospects in the growing democratic structures? So far, we cannot perceive you in your professions. Only the people in their professions can form Europe. In close cooperation and handshake with the other chamber professionals! ^^ How can such a thing - so wonderful and new – be initialfired, understandable for us all, without breaking it? I alone will not make it ... lets empower Europe together ;-)

    the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) make successful transitions to secondary school. A five-year $15 million initiative, "Empowering Adolescent Girls to Lead through Education" (EAGLE) seeks to raise this rate by tackling many of the barriers keeping girls from continuing their post-primary educations – including cost and school safety. The program will emphasize leadership training for girls.

    Blocking the sunlight that reaches Earth might be another means to lessen the effects of climate change, some U.S. scientists theorize.
    Scientists backed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are testing the idea with computer projections on future climate change. Learn more:
