    ראיון עם שגריר ישראל

    שגריר ישראל בבוקרשט, ראובן אזר, העניק ,בתחילת המנדט, ראיון לסוכנות העיתונות הלאומית של רומניהAGERPRES.



    הוא דיבר על שיתוף הפעולה עם רומניה בתחום הביטחוני, במיוחד בתחום הטכנולוגיה הביטחונית, אך גם בחקלאות, IT, בנייה, אנרגיה מתחדשת ובריאות.



    הדיפלומט התייחס גם למצב הנוכחי במזרח התיכון, ליחסי ארצו עם האיחוד האירופי ולאופן שבו הישראלים רואים את רומניה. הוא מדגיש את שיתוף הפעולה בין ישראל לבין רומניה בתחום הביטחוני והגדיר אותו כייחודי. מה שמייחד את הקשר הזה הוא שבניגוד למדינות אחרות, ישראל עושה קופרודוקציה עם רומניה. אנחנו לא רק מוכרים, אנחנו משתפים פעולה בתחום הטכנולוגיה, אנחנו מייצרים ביחד. כל מערכת שמגיעה מישראל נבחנה בתנאי לחימה, עם מתודולוגיה מאוד מסויימת. ישראל היא מדינה שונה מהשאר, במובן זה שאנחנו לא מוכרים פלטפורמות גדולות, אבל יש לנו יתרונות בתחומים ספציפיים – סייבר, לוחמה אלקטרונית, הגנה נגד טילים ואווירונאוטיקה, ציין השגריר.



    השגריר גם אמר שתדמיתה של ישראל הכירה שינוי: ממדינה בעלת תדמית של צעד בסכסוך המזרח התיכון למדינה שמושכת מדינות אירופאיות המעוניינות בשיתוף פעולה כלכלי. מעמד זה חשוב למדינת ישראל. הסכסוך קיים וחייבים לפתור אותו, אבל הוא לא יכול להיות תנאי לאינטרסים המשותפים שיש לנו. אז אנחנו מתמקדים בחלק המשותף לכולנו ולכן מדינות רבות מאירופה באות לעשות עסקים בישראל, הדגיש השגריר


    לגבי הסכסוך עם הפלסטינים, ישנו משבר מנהיגות ולישראל אין נכון לעכשיו עם מי לנהל מו”מ. בסופו של דבר, עלינו ליצור יציבות ואנו עושים זאת על ידי תמיכה כלכלית בפלסטינים ככל יכולתנו, ואנחנו גם מנסים ליצור את התנאים הדרושים לחידוש, בשלב מסוים, של המשא ומתן. הבעיה העיקרית של מדינות רבות באזור היא הממסד הפוליטי חלש, עובדה המאפשרת לגורמים איסלאמיסטים הרדיקליים לתפוס את השלטון.



    בהמשך השגריר אמר שמדינת ישראל מוכנה לשתף פעולה עם רומניה גם בתחום החקלאות, בעיקר בכל הקשור לטכנולוגיות חדשות לחוות ומערכות השקיה, אך גם במגזרים נוספים – אנרגיה ירוקה, הייטק, בריאות, בנייה – , שבו חברות ישראליות יכולות לתרום למשק הרומני ע”י השקעות ישירות.



    לשאלה כיצד רואים אנשי עסקים ישראלים את רומניה, השיב השגריר ראובן אזר כי הם רואים מדינה מאוד יציבה, בטוחה מאוד, חברה באיחוד האירופי, חברה בנאט”ו, הפתוחה להשקעות זרות. אחד הדברים הראשונים שעשיתי כשהגעתי לרומניה היה להיפגש עם אנשי העסקים הישראלים שעובדים כאן, כדי ללמוד מהם על התנאים בהם הם מפתחים את עסקיהם. . יש כאן קהילה עסקית מאוד דינמית והרבה ישראלים מתעניינים במה שקורה ברומניה. אנו נעודד אותם עוד יותר. אנחנו באמת מנצלים את הקשרים האישיים בין יהודי רומניה שעלו לארץ ובין הדור השני, שגם הוא מעוניין לעשות כאן עסקים. אז יש לנו הרבה תמיכה כדי לנצל את הפוטנציאל הקיים, הוסיף השגריר.



    בנוגע למוזיאון הלאומי לתולדות היהודים והשואה ברומניה, ראובן אזר אמר כי הוא מאמין שהפרויקט מתקדם. זה פרויקט חשוב מאוד ואנו שמחים מאוד שממשלת רומניה מבצעת אותו. אני חושב שקודם כל זה יהיה שימושי לעם הרומני, כי יהיה קל יותר ללמוד על התקופה האפלה ההיא בהיסטוריה של שלנו ובהיסטוריה שלכם. זו תהיה הזדמנות יוצאת דופן לחנך את הדורות הבאים, הוסיף הדיפלומט.

  • Triplu parteneriat cu Comitetul Olimpic și Sportiv Român

    Triplu parteneriat cu Comitetul Olimpic și Sportiv Român

    Societatea Română de Radiodifuziune, Societatea Română de Televiziune, Agenția Națională de Presă AGERPRES au încheiat astăzi, 16 februarie 2021, parteneriate de colaborare cu Comitetul Olimpic și Sportiv Român

    Încheiate în perspectiva participării Echipei Olimpice Team Romania la Jocurile Olimpice Tokyo 2020, aceste parteneriate au la bază promovarea sportului, a mișcării olimpice, a performanței, valorilor naționale, precum și susținerea reciprocă a acțiunilor și programelor comune.

    Președintele Comitetului Olimpic și Sportiv Român, Mihai Covaliu, și secretarul general, George Boroi, au marcat momentul de semnare a parteneriatelor alături de Georgică Severin, Președinte Director General SRR, Doina Gradea, Președinte Director General al SRTV și Claudia Nicolae, Director General AGERPRES.

    Aceste parteneriate vor reflecta în primul rând eforturile Echipei Olimpice Team Romania ai cărei sportivi se pregătesc să participe la Jocurile Olimpice Tokyo 2020 dar vor asigura și promovarea altor competiții sportive care se desfășoară sub egida Comitetului Internațional Olimpic (CIO), a Asociației Comitetelor Olimpice Europene (EOC) și vor contribui la promovarea valorilor olimpice – Excelență. Prietenie, Respect – în rândul publicului la nivel național. Suntem conviși că împreună cu Televiziunea Națională, cu Radioul Public și alături de Agenția Națională de Presă vom oferi societății modele de urmat, mult spirit și mândrie națională, a declarat Mihai Covaliu, președinte COSR.

    Sportul este o componentă importantă a programelor radioului public. Transmisiunile în direct ale marilor competiții sportive, vocile și acuratețea comentariilor sportive care reușesc să treacă dincolo de cutia radioului și să ne plaseze, pe fiecare dintre noi, direct în tribune sunt componente ale misiunii noastre publice. Consider că este de datoria noastră să educăm tinerii să practice sportul, mișcarea în general, iar exemplele de succes reprezintă cel mai bun argument în susținerea acestui deziderat. Să nu uităm că, prima transmisiune la radio a unor Jocuri Olimpice a fost în 1964, de la Tokyo, iar începând din 1980, Radio România a transmis în direct toate edițiile Jocurilor Olimpice. Simbol al comunicării universale, radioul susține spiritul olimpic, valoarea sportului ca element de dialog între comunități, de promovare a păcii şi de încurajare a competiției corecte dincolo de orice fel de discriminare – când Jocurile Olimpice încep, armele tac!

    Semnarea astăzi a parteneriatul de colaborare cu COSR, parteneriat început acum 21 de ani, vine într-un moment extrem de dificil – după un an de privațiuni și suferință, sportivii de pe întreaga planetă vor fi din nou împreună la Jocurile Olimpice de la Tokyo, prima ediție a jocurilor olimpice moderne amânată în timp de pace, din cauza unei pandemii. Și alături de ei, prin intermediul radioului și al televiziunii vom fi noi toți, ascultătorii și telespectatorii din intreaga lume, a declarat Georgică Severin, Președinte Director General SRR.

    Alături de Comitetul Olimpic și Sportiv Român, Televiziunea Română se va implica cu toată energia în promovarea sportului, a mișcării olimpice, a performanței și a valorilor naționale, în acord cu misiunea sa publică. Parteneriatul cu COSR ne onorează și ne determină să aducem sportul românesc și mai aproape de telespectatorii TVR, în perspectiva participării Echipei Olimpice Team Romania la Jocurile Olimpice Tokyo 2020, a declarat Doina Gradea, Președinte Director General SRTV.

    Performanţa o fac sportivii, iar rolul nostru, al presei, nu este doar acela de a prezenta rezultatele, de a scrie despre poveşti de succes, ci şi de a promova fiecare efort al sportivilor, de a arăta publicului întregul traseu, cu suişuri şi coborâşuri. Este important să susţinem fiecare sportiv şi, mai ales, să înţelegem că în spatele unui rezultat stă munca unui om şi a echipei sale. Acest parteneriat ne onorează, suntem alături de o echipă care, sub steagul României, ghidată de fair-play, va lupta pentru performanţă. Munca este a sportivilor români care vor merge la Tokyo, dar acasă, în România, AGERPRES le va fi alături şi va face cunoscute lupta şi drumul lor spre succes, a declarat Claudia Nicolae, Director General AGERPRES.

    Avem aceeași misiune, să promovăm valorile naționale și să continuăm seria poveștilor de succes din sportul românesc. Vrem să menținem în atenție gloriile sportului tricolor ca sursă de inspirație pentru generațiile actuale, pentru a transmite încredere sportivilor și pentru a întări oamenilor ideea că sportul e o alternativă sănătoasă pentru orice societate, mai ales în vreme de pandemie. Onoarea, demnitatea, spiritul de echipă și fair-play-ul, de care dau dovadă cei care practică sport de mare performanță, fac din membrii Team Romania, veritabile modele, a punctat George Boroi, secretar general COSR.

  • ארועים לזכר קורבנות השואה

    ארועים לזכר קורבנות השואה

    לציון יום הבינלאומי לזכרון קורבנות השואה, המכון ליהדות והיסטוריה יהודית “ד“ר משה כרמילי” (Moshe Carmilly) מאוניברסיטת באבש–בוליאי (Babeș-Bolyai) בעיר קלוז–נפוקה אירגן, בשבוע 27-31 לינואר 2020 , במוזאון התעודי של השואה מצפון טרנסילבניה, סידרה של ארועים מיועדים לתלמידים מקלוז. בהזדמנות זאת מספר כיתות משלושה בתי ספר תיכון של העיר ביקרו, יחד עם המורים, במוזאון התעודי של השואה מצפון טרנסילבניה וזכו לסיורים מודרכים מצוות המוזאון. הארוע הזכיר את יום השנה 75 לשיחרור מחנה ההשמדה אושוויץ ונכלל בסידרה של ארועים לכבוד מאה שנה לאוניברסיטת באבש–בוליאי.




    בלונדון שגרירות רומניה אירגנה תערוכה מוקדשת לזכרון קורבנות השואה. התערוכה “לזכור להזכר” (Remember to remember) כללה צילומים ומסמכים על השואה אשר נאספו בעזרת הארכיון הדיפלומטי של משרד החוץ הרומני, בעזרת ארכיון הפוטו של הסוכנות העיתונאית הלאומית (AGERPRES) ובעזרת הפרויקט “פיל” (Elefant) לבנייה מחדש של בית לזכר העבר היהודי בווישאול דה סוס (Vişeul de Sus) בצפון רומניה.




    ארוע זה לא היה רק תרומה לזכרון 6 מיליון הקורבנות של השואה , אלא גם הזדמנות עבור רומניה לאשרר את מחויבותה להמשך התמיכה הקבועה במאבק נגד האנטישמיות, נגד האפליה, נגד הכחשת השואה ונגד כל תופעות האלימות, כך הסביר שגריר רומניה בבריטניה דן מיכלאקה (Dan Mihalache) .




    שגריר ישראל בלונדון הזכיר שכ-70 רומנים קיבלו את התואר “חסיד אומות העולם” שמוענק ע“י מדינת ישראל באמצעות מכון יד ושם, לאנשים שתוך סיכון חיים, משפחה והון עצמי, העניקו מקלט והצילו יהודים בתקופת מלחמת העולם השניה. בתורו נשיא בני ברית של בריטניה הדגיש את פועלם של דיפלומטים רומנים, כמו קונסטנטין קרדזה (Constantin Karadja), בהצלת החיים של יהודים רבים שהיו קורבנות הרדיפה הנאצית תוך נטילת סיכונים אדירים לגבי חרותם, משפחתם, ופרנסתם.

  • Romania’s pension system sparks off fresh concerns

    Romania’s pension system sparks off fresh concerns

    Politicians in Romania eventually
    started to believe what experts in demography, sociologists and economists had
    been saying for years, namely that the country’s pension system is put at risk
    by the ever decreasing labour force.








    Violeta Alexandru, Labour Minister
    with the country’s fresh liberal government has put it bluntly in an interview
    to the local news agency Agerpres, people must be urged to save money by means
    of the private pension system. The Labour Ministry is considering increased
    contributions to the so-called Pillar ll private pension funds, which Mrs.
    Alexandru has described as a fair system reflecting the employee’s contribution
    during their professional activity, and a safe instrument thanks to its
    transparency.








    Although concerned about the impact
    of the 40% pension rise upon the budget starting September 2020, the minister
    has given assurances the present law endorsed by the former Social-Democratic
    government will be observed and applied by the Liberals as well. She has also recalled
    a draft law on banning former employees from cumulating wages with pension
    benefits.






    However, there are some categories
    exempted, such as teachers who can resume activity after retirement due to the
    shortage of personnel especially in the country’s rural areas. According to
    Minister Alexandru the government has no intention for the time being to raise
    the retirement age, although a suchlike trend has been increasingly visible all
    throughout Europe. Romania’s Central Bank has also voiced concern over the latest
    demographic developments.






    In its latest report on stability,
    the institution has cautioned on the high migration rate among the young people
    corroborated with the phenomenon of population aging, which could significantly
    bear on the future economic developments. According to the National Institute
    for Statistics, the number of pensioners is expected to reach 5.2 million in
    the second half of 2020.






    Romania will have 4.8 million old
    people in 2060 and if the situation remains unchanged the number of active
    people contributing to pension funds, is expected to drop significantly. A
    national strategy aimed at promoting active aging and protecting the aging
    population has also cautioned against the decreasing role of the pension system
    as income provider both in terms of coverage and pensions level.








    All in all employment for the
    elderly must be encouraged to benefit both the employees and the country’s
    economy. Although the need for a prolonged active life isn’t still accepted by
    society at large, there are some segments, particularly women, highly educated
    individuals or people in need of money who have shown a positive attitude
    towards this idea, the same sources have announced.

Vizita va fi un bun prilej pentru ca oaspeții, care fac parte din regiuni în care trăiesc importante comunități românești istorice, să se reconecteze la identitatea spirituală, istorică și culturală românească și să devină parteneri ai României în demersul de a promova și păstra ideea de apartenență la românitate, precum și imaginea României.

    Programului Itinerar Centenar pentru jurnaliști români din afara granițelor face parte din evenimentele pentru celebrarea Centenarului, fiind inclus în capitolul Politici pentru diaspora al Programului de Guvernare 2018-2020.

    Târgul Internaţional Gaudeamus Carte de Învăţătură Radio România, la final

    Editura Litera câștigat premiul pentru “Cea mai râvnită carte a târgului” pentru volumul “Testamentul lui Abraham”, de Igor Bergler. La Trofeele Presei, pe secțiunile publicații, radio, TV, online și agenții de presă, trofeele au fost acordate astfel: la secțiunea publicații — cotidianul “Adevărul”; radio — Europa FM; la TV — Televiziunea Română, în timp ce la agenții de presă premiul a revenit Agenției Naționale de Presă AGERPRES (pe baza monitorizării Agenţiei de presă Rador).

Premiul pentru traducere “Antoaneta Ralian”, acordat pentru traducere dintr-o limbă străină în limba română, a revenit lui Radu Paraschivescu și Irinei Oprea, pentru traducerea din limba engleză a volumelor 5 și 6 ale seriei “Cronicile din Narnia” de C.

    Cartea, ca simbol al culturii, este și un simbol fabulos al libertății de exprimare, iar cenzurarea, limitarea dreptului exprimare al unui autor, al unui cititor, al unei edituri, nu numai că încalcă Constituția, dar afectează însuși spiritul libertății de exprimare, a afirmat președintele director general al SRR, Georgică Severin.



    Radio România, ca organizator al Târgului de carte Gaudeamus, nu este în niciun fel implicată în organizarea de către edituri a propriilor manifestări, dar, în același timp, nu suntem de acord cu împiedicarea oricărei persoane să se manifeste în interiorul standurilor, așa cum decid editurile ele însele. Concurența și lupta dintre edituri nu are ca teren de luptă târgul Gaudeamus. Aici rămâne libertatea de exprimare, cartea, editurile, autorii și cititorii”, a spus Severin, la închiderea Târgului de carte Gaudeamus.
