France is relatively late in the development of wind energy; considering the fact that they can’t reach the 2020 goals set by the EU. Their target is to double the onshore wind power capacity from 2015 levels by 2023.

France also hopes to get more wind energy from its coasts. It launched its first offshore wind turbine near the country’s western coast. It could provide electricity for 5.000 homes. In less than 10 years, they want to build another 50 much larger wind turbines.

President Emmanuel Macron's want to make gender equality an international focus because women and girls are the first to be affected by poverty, conflict, and climate change therefore, France has published its International Strategy for Gender Equality. The strategy puts gender equality in the middle of all the mechanisms (cooperation and development, economic diplomacy, influence, cultural, and educational policies)

This is what they want to achieve: 1) Free and equal access to services 2) Promoting access to productive and economic resources 3) Ensuring women and girls' equal and free access to rights and justice 4) Participation of women in decision-making and 5) equal participation of women in peace and security processes.

The gender gap is almost the highest in the employment gap

In the Czech Republic, women are still discriminated when we’re talking about the labour market. The employment and gender gap is one of the highest in Europe. Even though there is a Anti-Discrimination Act that guarantees equal treatment to all employers; man or woman. Although women are successful in gaining qualifications, there career is flatter and women earn almost 3,700 CZK a month less than men do, even when they had the same education. As a consequence, they earn less than men over their life cycle, and their pensions are lower.

The improving gender equality situation in Slovakia

Slovakia was beaten only by Romania as the country with top inequality.Gender segregation for study courses deemed typically female pertains where 47 percent of women and 24 percent of men study.The gender segregation in education also impacts the career opportunities of men and women, being reflected also in the labour market. Over the long term, the situation has improved, especially in finances, where the incomes of women grew more than those of men. However, females still receive lower salaries than men for the same work and thus, they have lower pensions and face a higher risk of poverty during their whole lives.

Slovakia has four nuclear reactors generating half of its energy.

Their gross power output was growing from 440 to 470 MW per each unit

In 1972, Slovakia's first nuclear power reactor began operating.

The commitment of the government of Slovakia to the future of nuclear power is very strong.

There are even 2 more reactors under construction.

But they are going to shutdown the Bohunice V1 reactors.

And replaces it with the 2 new ones.

Per capita electricity consumption is averaged 4430 kWh.

All of Slovakia’s gas comes from Russia.

The Nuclear Regulatory Authority of Slovakia is the organisation responsible for licensing, safety, waste management, radiation protection and safeguards.

France installed more charging points than any other nation during 2017.

They established more than 12000 charging points last year, that’s one third more than any other country in the world.

France have invested a lot in electric vehicle infrastructure because they have struggled so bad with air pollution .

Despite the investments electric vehicles have only 1.5 percent of the new-car market.

The France government think that these investments will help  to sell more electric cars.

The France government have said they wanted to ban new diesel and gas cars in 2040.

France also support buying electric cars by offering a bonus tot he people.

The French government also set up a national purchase incentive scheme for all-electric utility vans.

The Czech Republic has two nuclear plants: Temelin and Dukovany.
They want to build five extra nuclear power plants, to increase the atomic power production, because they see nuclear power as the basis of their energy mix.
The semi-state company CEZ should build the new reactors in the nuclear plants at Temelin and Dukovany, but also at three new locations.
With building new nuclear plants, they hope to ban the coal fired power plants and want to be less dependant on Russia’s oil and gas.
In the Czech Republic, all parties represented in parliament are advocate of nuclear energy and they don’t see a big future in green energy.

In the Czech Republic has the government increased the share of renewable energy sources with 20% by 2020, with as main source the solar energy. Solar energy has grown considerably from negligible levels in 2009 to around 0.5% in 2015, primarily due to generous subsidies. The growth of renewable energy sources was supported by some different mechanisms like the feed-in tariff (FIT) system, feed-in premiums (an amount paid on top of the market price for electricity or green bonuses), investment subsidies and fiscal measures. Two-third of the subsidies for RES were going to solar power, which produces only 5% of renewable energy.

France has been very active in developing nuclear technology. “The french are too dependent on nuclear power to give up on it.” : says a nuclear power expert. France is dependent on nuclear energy for 75 percent of its energyThe nuclear industry provides a lot of jobs in France. It employs about 400,000 persons. The electricity production in France is spread across 19 power plants and 58 reactors. The French government wants to reduce nuclear energy consumption from 75% to 50 %.The French minister of environment Nicolas Hulot wanted to close 17 nuclear reactors by 2025.

Migration & Slovakia:
Slovakia is not one of the traditional final destinations for migrants. Slovakia was almost an exclusive country of origin of the migrants. It was the accession of the Slovak Republic to the European Union   and the Schengen Area that caused more significant changes. During the period since 2004, the illegal and asylum migration has decreased and the legal migration has increased more than four times. Although the increase of foreign population in Slovakia in years 2004 – 2008 was the second highest among the EU states, the representation of foreigners in population remains low. Today the foreigners make up 1.8 percent of population and their number is slowly, yet continuously increasing: in June 2017, there were about 9,968 more foreigners living in Slovakia than the year before, which means an increase of 11%.

Migration & Czech Republic:
The number of asylum seekers crossing the Czech Republic dropped in 2017 very small numbers.
Although the country was largely untouched in 2015 into the
European Union of over one million migrants fleeing war and poverty in the Middle
East Africa and Asia, fears of Muslim immigration have dominated the election debate.
Police said they arrested 172 migrants in 2017 who sought to illegally transit the
Czech Republic, mostly coming from Austria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

Migration & France:

Macron will not allow another refugee camp in Calais and warned those people remaining in the area who hope to reach Britain. Macron had a meeting with Theresa May to discuss the handling of the migration crisis at the Channel port. He also accused certain organisations of lying police brutality against of the migrants.

SLOVAKIA GOES GREEN, BUT WHAT ABOUT WIND POWER ?

# data[].attributes.body
4 years ago, Slovakia launched the Green Houses Program to promote

the production of renewable energy.

The EU target for all member states says that 27% of all energy should

come from renewable sources by 2030.

Slovakia definitely “goes green” with the Green Houses Program, but

the share of wind power remains very low.

Why?

Reason 1: Slovakia does not have the ideal natural conditions to generate

wind power. Investors have no great interest in pumping money into parks of wind turbines.

Reason 2: Small wind turbines that produce electricity for households

could be an option, but the laws do not make it easy to install these.
