The European Commission's Delegation For The Pacific - EU & Pacific Regional Par In the period 19752002 EDF resources allocated to Pacific ACP regional projects Based on its own history, the EU has an advantage over other donors http://www.delfji.cec.eu.int/en/eu_and_country/regional_partnership.htm

EU Guide The European Union and the Pacific Region Overview Cotonou Agreement A strong regional partnership Regional Partnership Download English brochure (13MB) Download French brochure (8MB) The Pacific region has a number of characteristics that distinguish it from its African and Caribbean partners and defines a special co-operation with the EU. The most obvious is the great physical distance between the 14 PACP themselves and with Europe. Papua New Guinea is the geographical exception. As one half of the second largest island in the world and of the PACP countries, it shares a land border with Indonesia and is just across the Torres Strait from Australia. At the same time, it suffers from internal remoteness due to its extreme topography. A further distinction is the considerably varied pattern of colonial and selfgovernment that preceded independence. The great majority of the African and Caribbean ACP countries were formerly French or British colonies that gained independence in the 1950s or 1960s. The PACP countries (with the exception of Samoa, which gained independence in 1962) attained full independence in the 1970s and 1980s. Nor were the former colonial powers exclusively or primarily European nations.

Under Secretary for Global Affairs Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs Releases Remarks Environmental Treaties John F. Turner, Assistant Secretary for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs Testimony Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Washington, DC May 7, 2002 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, I am pleased to be here today to discuss six important international agreements that have been submitted to the Senate for Advice and Consent – the Protocol Concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW) to the Convention for the Protection and Development of the Marine Environment of the Wider Caribbean Region (Cartagena Convention), or the "SPAW Protocol;" the South Pacific Regional Environment Program (SPREP) Agreement; the Niue Boundary Treaty; an amendment to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission; and two amendments to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the "Montreal Amendment" and the "Beijing Amendment." Because these agreements serve important U.S. foreign policy interests, we favor their early ratification. While these agreements address different situations in different parts of the world, they share several common elements. First, any obligations set forth in these agreements can be undertaken through existing statutory authority. No changes in law are required. Second, consensus-based decision-making is the modus operandi for the governing bodies of these agreements, even for those agreements that formally provide for voting. This means that in matters affecting the lives of American citizenswhether it concerns protecting the ozone layer or conserving marine resourcesthe United States can adequately protect American interests. Third, no new costs will be created. And fourth, we understand that U.S. ratification of these agreements is not controversial and is generally supported by the public and private stakeholders.

92. The Head Heeb: Not Quite Nations Among others, the Cook Islands and niue are full members, The result has beentwofold regional associations have become more willing to accept http://headheeb.blogmosis.com/archives/025812.html

The Head Heeb « Forgotten refugees Main One last chance » August 06, 2004 Not quite nations The 35th Pacific Islands Forum meeting opens today in Apia, Samoa, but the Smaller Island States group has already convened a half-day summit focusing on the issues of Nauru, climate change and sustainable development. The SIS group, which formed 13 years ago to advocate for the economic and environmental issues unique to the smallest Pacific nations, consists of Nauru, Tuvalu, Niue, the Cook Islands, Kiribati and the Marshall Islands. None of its members has more than 100,000 people, and the smallest - the New Zealand-affiliated island of Niue - has fewer than 2100. The Smaller Island States group is affiliated with both the Pacific Islands Forum and with the UN-sponsored Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), a worldwide association of 43 "small island and low-lying coastal countries." AOSIS is somewhat misnamed; not all its members are islands, many aren't particularly small and some aren't even states. Among others, the Cook Islands and Niue are full members, and the Netherlands Antilles, Guam, American Samoa and the United States Virgin Islands have observer status. This highlights an issue common to many regional associations but particularly acute in the Pacific and the Caribbean: to what extent should self-governing but non-independent entities participate in regional planning and development? The Pacific and the Caribbean are the two areas of the world where colonialism is still a major force. The United States, France, Britain and New Zealand all have Pacific possessions with varying levels of self-government, and the Caribbean contains British, French, Dutch and American territories. Most of these have no immediate prospect of independence, nor do most of them

93. Local And Regional Book Publishing - Paper For 1997 Waigani Seminar First, I give a brief history of book publishing in the Pacific Islands. I look at local, national regional and international factors and overlap among http://www.pngbuai.com/600technology/information/waigani/book-publishing/WS97-se

PAPUA NEW GUINEA - BUAI DIGITAL INFORMATION PROJECT www.pngbuai.com Local and Regional Book Publishing for Local and Regional Information By: Linda Crowl, Publications Fellow, Institute of Pacific Studies, University of the South Pacific, presented at 1997 Waigani Seminar HISTORY OF PUBLISHING IN THE PACIFIC ISLANDS I analyse book publishing in five phases, which have overlapped. None of these phases has ended or is likely to end. These phases are publishing by religious organizations, colonial governments, independent governments, transnational agencies (regional and international governmental and non-governmental organizations), and individuals and firms. Religious organizations Member of the London Missionary Society began publishing in the Society Islands in 1817; the first publication was a spelling book. Soon afterward, publishing by the LMS and other religious orders occurred in other islands: 1822 in Hawaii; 1831 in Tonga; 1834 in the Cook Islands; 1837 in the Gambier Islands; 1839 in Fiji; 1844 in Wallis; 1848 in Vanuatu; 1852 in the Loyalty Islands; 1854 in New Caledonia; 1856 in the Caroline Islands; 1860 in the Marshall Islands and 1863 in the Gilbert Islands (Lingenfelter 1967). Many church histories contain references to their publishing activities. Because churches were involved not only in religious proselytizing but also, as importantly, in teaching literacy and numeracy, then later subject matter, they produced grammars, readers and textbooks. (Note above that the first publication was a spelling book). Contrary to what might be expected for early efforts among small, semi-literate populations, the print runs of these early books were quite large: e.g., from 1817 to 1822 Ellis printed 20,000 books (Lingenfelter 1967:24).

HUVALU FOREST CONSERVATION TOURS HUVALU FOREST CONSERVATION TOURS, NIUE, TOUR OPERATOR List of Stories The Niue Government sees tourism as the island's industry for economic viability. All tours on Niue have been constructed with Eco-guidelines. Niue considers sustainable tourism essential for the preservation of resources for future generations. The Tourist Office of Niue is currently putting together an "Accreditation Scheme" that involves criteria for responsible environmental practices in tourism businesses. One successful eco-tour that Niue offers is the Huvalu Forest Conservation Tour. Huvalu has thousands of hectares of national forest, traditionally managed by the native villagers. The Conservation extends from the forest to the coastline. It is the home of a rainforest growing on rock, villages, a rugged coastline, numerous species of flora and fauna, and important cultural heritage. The Conservation tour offers tourists guides from the villages. Guides take the tourist to natural and cultural features in the forest and on the coast. A local village hosts an information center for tourists. At the center, visitors are able to learn how the village people lived throughout their history of existence and traditional conservation management techniques.
