The energy ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) of the most developed industrialized countries failed to agree on a joint statement at their meeting in Rome today, because of US reservations about climate change, an Italian minister said. The US said it 'reserved’ regarding the G7 commitments they made when signing the Paris climate agreement, said Italian Economic Development Minister Carlo Calenda, who presided over this meeting.   It was therefore not possible to sign a joint declaration by all G7 members (USA, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Canada and Italy), he clarified.   In the face of US reservations, which have confirmed that they are in a phase of reviewing their position on the issue of climate change, Italy decided not to propose a joint statement, Kalenda also explained.   US President Donald Trump will take office by the end of May’ on the Paris climate agreement, which was signed at its end 2015 from more than 190 Countries, including the US, but was heavily criticized during the election campaign, the White House announced at the end of March.

The Unified Food Control Agency (APPEAL) issued on its official website advice on what to pay attention to when shopping ahead of Easter.

EFET is intensifying the controls carried out on the food market during the Easter period in order to protect the health and interests of consumers from undermining practices, mainly for the meat market. In particular, EFET advises:

Do not buy lamb carcasses (lambs and goats) which do not bear the prescribed seals because they did not undergo the necessary veterinary-sanitary control and were probably slaughtered in places not controlled by the Veterinary Services and under unsanitary conditions. For all domestically produced lamb carcasses, the seal of approval is turquoise’ ('bright blue', pigment E 133) and is oval or round in shape, where the approval number of the slaughterhouse is indicated. The country of origin should be written on a rectangular parallelogram stamp, 'THEY’ ή 'THE'. For lamb carcasses originating from Community countries the seal of suitability is turquoise’ ('bright blue', pigment E 133) or red (pigment E 129, red Aliura) and is oval or round in shape, where the approval number of the slaughterhouse is indicated. A rectangular parallelogram stamp should contain the initials of the name of the Community country of origin, For the carcasses of amnoerifis imported from third countries, Greek or not slaughter, all stamps must be in 'brown', (coloring E155) i.e. the stamp of suitability (oval or round) and a stamp of a rectangular parallelogram inside which is also written the name of the third country, Each carcass must be stamped on both shoulder blades and on both outer sides of the thighs. Consumers should be aware that carcasses which do not bear any seals, or bear stamps other than those prescribed, are bound by the competent control authorities.

«…Διαβάτη δεν υπάρχει δρόμος, τον δρόμο τον φτιάχνεις βαδίζοντας…» – Αντόνιο Ματσάδο

 THE Annual Art Exhibition of Elefsina  , for the 9th year this year, calls the creators, where they live, originate from or are inspired by Eleusis, to narrate their experiences through visual language, with individual or group works of art of any kind. THE deadline for submitting the participation file  in the report is up to Thursday 11 May  . Αναλυτικά οι όροι συμμετοχής και περισσότερες πληροφορίες θα βρείτε στην ιστοσελίδα της έκθεσης .
 Στόχος του Δήμου Ελευσίνας είναι «…T’ ωραίο ταξίδι…», even if reality does not come close to places of mythical and poetic utopia, let art itself become the way, the adventure, the shelter and the destination. The need to travel, τόσο ως μετακίνηση, όσο και ως νοητική μετατόπιση στον χώρο και στον χρόνο, φαίνεται να είναι περασμένη στο γενετικό υλικό μας, as ο μύθος του Οδυσσέα  .  
Σε μία εποχή εγχώριας δυσχέρειας και διεθνούς αναταραχής, τόσο μακρινή από εκείνη του Ομήρου, η επιθυμία της φυγής από την αμείλικτη καθημερινότητα, η ελπίδα για κάτι καλύτερο, αλλά και ο νόστος για την αλλοτινή «πατρίδα» της μνήμης , παραμένουν πανανθρώπινα και επίκαιρα. Η περιπλάνηση είτε για λόγους επιβίωσης, είτε για αναψυχή και πνευματική αναζήτηση, προσφέρει βιώματα και ερεθίσματα, ικανοποιώντας παράλληλα την περιέργειά μας για το άγνωστο και την προσδοκία για ελκυστικούς νέους κόσμους.  
Και δεν χρειάζεται πάντα να πάμε μακριά: sometimes thought becomes a vehicle, bringing into the closed room allegories, fantasies, scam countries. Art is also a "travel" medium par excellence, enough to act as an antidote to mental laziness, expanding our horizons towards a deeper understanding of the essence of the world.
