Le 01/04/2014 à 19h29

(Boursier.com) — Le Conseil d'Administration de Nexans s'est réuni le 31 mars 2014 sous la présidence de Frédéric Vincent pour arrêter les propositions qui seront soumises au vote des actionnaires lors de l'Assemblée générale annuelle du 15 mai 2014. Ainsi, le Conseil a pris acte du souhait de François Polge de Combret, administrateur indépendant depuis mai 2006, de ne pas solliciter le renouvellement de son mandat, pour convenances personnelles. Son mandat prendra donc fin à l'Assemblée du 15 mai prochain. Par ailleurs, Nicolas de Tavernost, administrateur indépendant, a présenté sa démission du Conseil d'Administration afin de se conformer aux recommandations du Code Afep-Medef relatives à la limitation du nombre de mandats pouvant être exercés par un dirigeant-mandataire social. "Au nom de l'ensemble du Conseil, je remercie Messieurs François Polge de Combret et Nicolas de Tavernost pour leur implication dans les travaux du Conseil d'Administration ainsi que leur contribution active au développement de l'entreprise", précise Frédéric Vincent, PDG de Nexans.

Il sera proposé aux actionnaires de renouveler le mandat de Mme Véronique Guillot-Pelpel, administrateur indépendant, afin de capitaliser sur sa parfaite connaissance du Groupe. Le Conseil, sur avis du Comité des Nominations, des Rémunérations et du Gouvernement d'entreprise, a décidé de proposer aux actionnaires la candidature de Philippe Joubert en tant qu'administrateur indépendant afin de renforcer les compétences du Conseil dans le domaine de l'industrie et de l'énergie. Par ailleurs, Bpifrance, actionnaire de premier plan du Groupe depuis 2009 détenant actuellement environ 7,8% du capital social et partenaire stratégique de long-terme, a proposé la candidature de Mme Fanny Letier en tant qu'administrateur lié à Bpifrance, au lieu de Jérôme Gallot qui reste administrateur indépendant.

"Ces propositions sont la traduction de la mise en oeuvre de la politique de composition du Conseil d'Administration adoptée lors du Conseil du 13 janvier 2014. Si l'Assemblée approuve ces propositions, le Conseil resterait composé de 14 administrateurs et verrait renforcées sa féminisation (38%), ses compétences industrielles et son expertise dans le secteur de l'énergie. Le taux d'indépendance serait de plus de 53%, en conformité avec les recommandations du Code Afep-Medef. Les candidatures présentées ont recueilli l'appui unanime du Conseil d'Administration", explique Frédéric Vincent.

USCIS Begins Processing Adoptions from Montenegro

Intercountry Adoptions under the Hague Adoption Convention

On April 1, 2014, USCIS will begin accepting and adjudicating Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention) petitions filed on behalf of children from Montenegro.

The Department of State has determined that Montenegro’s intercountry adoption system supports:

As of 1 April 2014, the Hague Convention of 29 May 1993 on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption applies in the Republic of Croatia

Empathy—real, life-altering empathy—is an underrated value. In the 21st century, when human interactions occur primarily through virtual means, human empathy more often than not takes the form of online donations.

Which is why the story of Tara Winkler is so extraordinary.

In 2005, at the age of 21, Winkler traveled to Cambodia to volunteer at Akira’s Landmine Museum, which supported victims of landmines. At that time, she visited an orphanage Battambang, which, she later found out in 2007, was run by a director who was embezzling funds and sexually and emotionally abusing the young children who took refuge there.

Horrified by the stories of abuse, Winkler partnered with local NGO director, Pon Jedtha, to found the Cambodian Children’s Trust (CCT), a non-profit NGO that fosters the educational and ethical empowerment of the children of Battambang.

Tired of “orphanage tourism,” Winkler and her team recently converted CCT from an orphanage into a “community development organization” to better serve the Battambang community, as well as in order to try to keep the children with their families. “I’m not mum any more,” she explained in an interview. “I played that role for a little when it was necessary, but that isn’t something that’s sustainable for all those kids.”

DUTCH SOCIAL SERVICES SEIZED 10-YEAR-OLD TWINS FROM RUSSIAN-SPEAKING FAMILY

by M.E. SYNON 26 Mar 2014

Members of the European Parliament have heard how Dutch social services seized ten-year old twins from a Russian-speaking Latvian family long resident in The Netherlands because the mother spoke Russian to the children in the home.

Dutch child protection authorities also made a claim, later shown to be baseless, that the ethnic-Russian mother might take the children out of The Netherlands and away from their estranged father.

In an emotional statement read out to the Petition Committee of the parliament, Ilya Antonovs, the 25-year old brother of twins Nikolai and Anastasia, told how the children have been held in a commercial child-care facility since March 2012, where they are forbidden to speak their first language of Russian.

Sonya Paterson I personally know Izidor Ruckel and Garrett Jones. I was directly involved in their adoptions as well as the adoption of over 400 children from Romania. Over a period of five years the humanitarian organization that I founded in 1990 raised and delivered over a million dollars of humanitarian aid to Romanian orphanages but primarily to hospitals in Romania. The aid that we delivered was officially documented and reported to the Romanian Minister of Health and later to the Romanian Adoption center. I am tired of the internationally spread lies that children were adopted for their organs. I first heard this report when I was in Romania and was contacted only on the last few months by Romanian reporters trying to validate these rumours. It is my interest to come back to Romania this year to speak up in support of International Adoption. I sincerely hope the Romanian Government could find their way to making a positive decision and to allow children in Romania to be given the same opportunity that so many children were given in the early 90's. Every child deserves a family and an opportunity to thrive. Thank you to everyone in Romania who believes in International adoption and giving a child a family. 23 March at 22:06 · 1
