"It is a wonderful day for Opel and the Zaragoza plant. The Crossland X is an important part of our product push as we add another exciting car to the fast-growing SUV/CUV market, which will support our growth strategy," said Neumann.
Dr. Neumann also praised the dedication and performance of the entire factory team who once again managed an excellent start to production and added: "I am sure that the new Crossland X will be a great success. It has the right DNA to follow in the footsteps of the Mokka X which really kicked off our success story in the sub-compact SUV segment. The fact that both models are built here in Zaragoza underlines the importance of the factory to our product attack.”.
Το Crossland X είναι το πρώτο ορατό αποτέλεσμα της συνεργασίας με την PSA που ξεκίνησε το 2012. Το μοντέλο αυτό και το νέο Grandland X, το δεύτερο προϊόν κοινής εξέλιξης, show that through the team spirit and cooperation of Opel and PSA, remarkable cars are created.
In the future, there will also be cooperation in the development of the next generation Corsa which will be based on PSA architecture. As already announced 2016, the car will go through the Zaragoza production line, until its end 2019.

40 years "Spetses" in Lizis Kalliga's exhibition

Lizi Kalliga divides her time between Athens and Spetses. Through the window of her atelier on the island, she feels that she has conquered small utopias that have come true. The landscapes, various findings, the beach of Agios Nikolaos and its garden , they are four thematic sections, which are presented in a variety of media, such as painting, plan, engraving and photography, projects covering the decades 1976-2016 . It is a clear look from the workshop she has created in her home and shows her very special relationship with this island.
The first landscapes were painted 1976 and others much later. The maturity of the visual art goes hand in hand with the change of the landscape and gives us the possibility to follow the evolution of it and the island at the same time.

Noise pollution is out of control in Greece

The whole of Europe suffers from noise pollution, but in Greece the decibels break every limit. Above 100 millions of Europeans suffer from harmful noise levels, according to a recent survey by the European Environment Agency. Noise pollution, according to the EEA, is considered one of the most fundamental environmental and health problems in Europe, with transport being the main culprit, mainly road transport. The noise from the streets bombards the hearing approx 100 million citizens in 33 countries of Europe (countries outside the EU also participate in the EEA.), with levels exceeding 55 decibels (dB) on the day and 50 dB at night. In fact, 32 millions of people are estimated to be exposed to very high levels of noise pollution, above the 65 dB, due to proximity to roads. Railroads and airplanes (around major airports) affect 19 and 4,1 million people respectively, while the noise from the factories reaches a million people.
Noise pollution from road transport is rated by the World Health Organization as the second most serious environmental stressor in Europe, after air pollution. Stress due to noise, during the day but also during the night and sleep (which is particularly aggravating), connected to overcurrent, sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular diseases, even with premature deaths.
For’ that in many European cities noise pollution is treated as a very serious problem and special measures are taken to limit it. From the special provision for low speeds within cities, sound barriers on highways and railway lines, when they pass close by residential areas, but also the reduction of speed limits in similar cases.

Specialists in environmental issues from 27 EU countries sought solutions last Friday in Brussels, in order to protect the health of citizens, and considered proposals that could lead to tackling air pollution. So they agreed on a draft 77 of pages that determines the permissible limit of pollutants with which they will burden the atmosphere 55.000 industries of Europe. These are primarily mercury emissions, suspended particles, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. The draft also sets out which exemptions and which deadlines still apply in the EU.
