ABOUT BILDERBERG MEETINGS
 
Since its inaugural meeting in 1954, Bilderberg has been an annual forum for informal discussions, designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields. The meeting is a forum for informal discussions about megatrends and major issues facing the world. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed. Thanks to the private nature of the meeting, the participants are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued.
 
The 2016 Bilderberg Meeting will take place from 9-12 June in Dresden, Germany. A press release including the list of topics and participants can be found here.
 
 
BRIEF HISTORY
 
The Bilderberg meeting is an annual three-day forum for informal discussions designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. The pioneering meeting grew out of the concern, expressed by leading citizens on both sides of the Atlantic, that Western Europe and North America were not working together as closely as they should on issues of common interest.
The first meeting took place in Hotel De Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, from 29 to 31 May 1954. Representatives from economic, social, political and cultural fields were invited to hold informal discussions to help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the difficult post-war period.
Throughout the years, the annual meetings have become a forum for discussion on a wide range of topics - from trade to jobs, from monetary policy to investment and from ecological challenges to the task of promoting international security. In the context of a globalised world, it is hard to think of any issue in either Europe or North America that could be tackled unilaterally.

 

GOVERNANCE AND FUNDING
 
The annual Bilderberg meeting is organised by the foundation Bilderberg Meetings. A steering committee governs this foundation and designates a chairman. Members are elected for a term of four years and can be re-elected. The chairman’s key responsibilities include chairing the steering committee and, together with the steering committee, preparing the meeting’s programme as well as the selection of participants.
The expenses of maintaining the small secretariat of Bilderberg Meetings are covered wholly by private subscription. The hospitality costs of the annual meeting are the responsibility of the steering committee member(s) of the host country.

Международная академия приняла участие в бизнес-форуме "АТЛАНТЫ"

Михайлов Андрей Леонидович, член Президиума Международной академии социальных технологий (МАСТ), академик МАСТ, главный секретарь международного делового клуба при МАСТ, принял участие в работе российского бизнес-форума "АТЛАНТЫ".  Смена парадигмы мышления лидеров бизнеса, переход от бизнесмена криминального, паразитического к бизнесмену нравственному, создающему социальный бизнес, - актуальные вопросы, которые активно обсуждались в кулуарах форума.

«Атланты» – это люди, на плечах которых держатся главные движущие силы человечества — производство, созидание и некриминальное творчество.

«Атланты» – это люди, которым важно соблюдать нравственное правило в бизнесе: торговать и не вредить себе и другим, торговать и созидать для себя и других.

«Атланты» – это предприниматели, бизнесмены, топ-менеджеры и руководители, которые выбрали не останавливаться на достигнутом и делать следующие шаги в своей карьере, бизнесе и жизни.

Безнравственность бизнесмена приводит к потере репутации, что ведет за собой утрату доверия и денег.  Эксперты Международной академии социальных технологий видят, что поддерживать доверие к предпринимателям – важная задача каждого участника частных экономических отношений, особенно в России, утомленной реформами и изоляцией от международного рынка финансов и высоких технологий. 

Хаос государства и капитала

Хаос государства и капитала

 

Юнацкевич Петр Иванович

Сочи, 2015 год

 

Сегодня для многих граждан со всей очевидностью встают вопросы: «Развал СССР не завершен, начинается развал правопреемника СССР – Российской Федерации?  Что будет взамен Российской Федерации?»

Становление гражданского общества сопровождается ослаблением государства как монополиста на исполнительную власть. Важный признак этого ослабления хаос среди некоторых чиновников, занятых борьбой за сохранение доходных мест в администрациях разного уровня.

Хаос в государственных структурах – это двойные моральные стандарты (полное расхождение слова и дела), бесформенная совокупность постоянно создаваемых и реорганизуемых структур, и кадры, лишенные всяческой морали и нравственности, ориентированные на обогащение любой ценой.

K niektorým aspektom vývoja slovenskej legislatívy
 - v súvislosti s novou európskou energetickou legislatívou

JUDr. Igor Zbojan, PhD., Ministerstvo hospodárstva SR

Implementáciou v slovenskej legislatíve aktuálne platných smerníc pre trh s elektrinou a trh s plynom,, smernice č.2003/54/ES o spoločných pravidlách vnútorného trhu s elektrinou, a smernice č. 2003/55/ES o spoločných pravidlách vnútorného trhu s plynom, sa slovenská energetika stala konkurenčne schopná na trhu Európskych spoločenstiev: To bolo základnou požiadavkou úplnej implementácie smerníc. V súčasnosti platný energetický zákon zabezpečil harmonizáciu legislatívy s legislatívou Európskej únie zavedením tých inštitútov, ktoré sú potrebné na to, aby optimálne fungoval spoločný trh a zaviedol legislatívne vymedzenie príslušných inštitútov, s cieľom dosiahnutia spoľahlivej a kvalitnej dodávky energie.

Pohľad na niektoré osobitosti a rozdiely v slovenskej a českej legislatíve v oblasti podpory výroby elektriny z obnoviteľných zdrojov energie

JUDr. Igor Zbojan, PhD., Ministerstvo hospodárstva SR

Dňa 1. septembra 2009 nadobudol účinnosť zákon, ktorý v podmienkach Slovenskej republiky tvorí základ novej energetickej legislatívy v oblasti podpory výroby elektriny z obnoviteľných zdrojov energie.

Ide o zákon č. 309/2009 Z.z. o podpore obnoviteľných zdrojov energie a vysoko účinnej kombinovanej výroby a o zmene a doplnení niektorých zákonov. Českú legislatívu v uvedenej oblasti reprezentuje zákon č. 180/2005 Sb. o podpoře výroby elektřiny z obnovitelných zdrojů energie a o změně některých zákonů (zákon o podpoře využívání obnovitelných zdrojů), ktorý sa datuje o niečo skôr , už od 01.08.2005.
