Christiane Locufier wordt 75...
Christiane Locufier (foto YouTube) werd geboren als dochter van Karel Locufier, de Gentse operadirecteur tussen 1960 en 1972, die ooit nog begonnen was als arbeider in de Peignage d’Eeclo, tot hij een zangcarrière begon als Paul Marchal. Bij het ballet van de “Franschen Theater” ontdekte hij het zang- en andere talent van Martha Van Peteghem en trouwde ermee.

Last week the Head of the Customs Service told VRT Radio 1 that the police should provide more support to the Customs Service. This request is now being heard again, after two dock workers were robbed, gagged and threatened with knives at a customs depot at Antwerp's Waasland Dock on Friday. The knifemen were quite possibly drug criminals searching for a consignment of seized drugs. The Antwerp public prosecutor's office is refusing to comment on whether the criminals managed to recover their drugs.
Recently customs officers have been confiscating a large amount of drugs. Mr Vanderwaeren told VRT Radio 1’s morning news and current affairs programme ‘De ochtend’ that "This amounts to almost 40 tonnes per month. Often 10 tonnes at a time," The drugs seized kept in storage and later destroyed. However, greater protection is urgently needed for those involved in the seizure, storage and destruction of drugs.
Keep length of time cocaine is storaged time to a minimum
Kristian Vanderwaeren stresses that the length of time that cocaine is stored should be kept to a minimum. "This is currently not easy when large quantities are involved. First, the cocaine must be removed from the container, which is often not so easy as the drugs may have been well concealed. This must be done in a safe place. Once the cocaine is taken out an inventory must be made. This is forwarded to the public prosecutor's office and they then issue the order to destroy the drugs. Even then the drugs cannot simply be thrown into the incinerator. They must be prepared and only then can they be destroyed."
In an ideal world drugs would be destroyed on the day on which they are seized as is the case in The Netherlands. This is possible there as incinerator capacity is readily available. However, there is only one place in the whole of Flanders where drugs can be incinerated. Furthermore, that incinerator is used for other tasks than destroying illegal narcotics.
Three incinerators with a combined capacity of 100,000 tonnes. The Public Flemish Waste Company OVAM currently uses a system of time slots for its incineration plants. OVAM says that it currently has no waiting times. The three ovens have a combined capacity of 100,000 tonnes.
OVAM’s spokesman Jan Verheyen "This is hazardous waste and we must be able to guarantee that it is incinerated 100%. The waste is incinerated at temperatures of more than 1,000°C. The flue gases that are emitted are also post-burned to ensure complete combustion. of the waste and that no residue is released through the chimney."

Het tweede gelaat
Halfslachtige poging om Hollywoodiaanse thriller te maken Erik Van Looy verraste vriend en vijand met De zaak Alzheimer in 2003. Met deze film werd de Vlaamse film voor het eerst op de wereldkaart gezet. Er werd zelfs enige tijd gesproken over een Amerikaanse remake. In 2009 viel Jan Verheyen de eer te beurt een tweede verhaal te mogen verfilmen van het flikkenduo Vincke en Verstuyft. Dat werd…

First global treaty against plastic pollution in the pipeline
UN member states have been working on a 'historic' treaty in Kenya since yesterday to end pollution from plastic waste. Recycling should be given a boost. “As long as the ambitions don't remain hollow phrases.”
The member states of the United Nations started a major three-day environmental conference in the Kenyan capital Nairobi yesterday. On the agenda: how to contain the worldwide expanding plastic waste?
And the organisors are not afraid to talk a big game too. "A historic summit," noted Inger Andersen, head of the UN's environmental program. “It may be the most important environmental treaty since the 2015 Paris climate agreement.”
A proposal has been submitted for discussion to create an international, legally enforceable instrument. Its aim: to stop the spread of plastic in the environment and to support a circular economy involving plastics. A treaty should be materialised within two years, which is fast.
The proposal explicitly states that waste management alone is not sufficient. Plastics must be prevented from entering the environment at all stages of the process (from production to consumption).
This raises the question of whether a reduction in production will also be discussed. The text that has now been circulated only talks about 'sustainable production'. An (mainly American) industry lobbying initiative against production restrictions has already started, the Reuters news agency learned from leaked emails and documents. We received no comment from the European Commission on these disclosures.
Belgium will follow the EU position and supports the draft text, says Zakia Khatabi, federal minister of the environment, who represents our country in Nairobi. “We need to help developing countries build capacity to better collect their waste and recycle more. But recycling alone is not enough. We also need to work on prevention, for example by reducing the use of single-use plasticinternationally," says Khatabi.
The NGO Recycling Netwerk, the organization behind the Deposit Alliance, wait it out with some scepticism. “We are curious what concrete measures will be taken. Ambitious goals alone will get us nowhere if these remain hollow phrases”, says spokesman Tom Zoete.
Straws and cotton buds
The UN summit takes into account years of awareness and actions around the plastic problem. Europe banned disposable plastic products such as straws, cotton buds, plastic plates and cutlery in 2019. Belgium translated that directive into a Royal Decree only in January of this year.
The trend towards fewer disposable products had already started, says Jan Verheyen of the Public Waste Agency of Flanders (Ovam). “70 percent of Flemish people indicate that they take advantage of reusable bags. Reusable cups, plates and cutlery are becoming more and more common at events.”
Much was expected in Belgium from the expanded blue PMD waste bag. Since April 2021, all Belgians can dispose of their household plastic packaging waste in this bag. Figures on the results of this will only be available in May, Fost Plus -the driving force behind the recycling of household packaging in Belgium- said. The first indications show that on average the amount collected annually is rising from 16 to 24 kilograms per inhabitant.
Recycling is lagging behind
This waste is processed and recycled locally as much as possible. For the time being, still in neighbouring countries (France, the Netherlands, Germany), but with the arrival of five recycling plants more and more in Belgium.
Wherever it is processed, the recycling of plastic still lags behind compared to, say, paper or glass. Of the 29 million tons of plastic waste we collect annually in Europe, only about 4.9 million tons are recycled. A large part of the waste goes to the incinerator or, in Eastern and Southern Europe, often to the landfill.
A material such as PET (used to contain soft drinks or to make water bottles) is doing well, but the European recycling figures are still (too) low for many other types of plastic. This is usually due to the lack of a collection system, which means that not enough volume can be collected to run a factory profitably.
"The fact that too little plastic waste is recycled is sometimes also a result of legislation," says Saskia Walraedt, head of the plastics department of the Belgian chemical and pharmaceutical federation Essenscia. “For example, it does not yet allow packaging made from recycled material for food, unless it is made of PET or circulates in completely closed cycles. Whereas the use of these other plastics is technically safe.”
Do it chemically
For Walraedt, the possible breakthrough lies in another technology: chemical recycling. Today, most of the recycling is done mechanically. Simply put: the material is crushed and the 'flakes' are reused. Chemical recycling goes a step further and reduces the material to its molecular building blocks, from which plastic can then be made again. "In the long run, it will make a lot of material that we do not process today still recyclable, and the recycled material meets the requirements for food packaging and medical applications."
Belgium can play a pioneering role in chemical recycling, Walraedt believes. “We have the expertise, the first companies have already started in Antwerp and Ostend and various projects are in the pipeline.”

Free Virtual European Film Festival 2021
Hot on the success of last year’s virtual European Film Festival, this 2021 edition will be taking place predominantly online from 14 to 24 October.
This wonderful selection of 18 award winning films from across Europe, 13 of which have been directed by women, will be screened free of charge, providing a window onto what is fresh and new in the film industries of the respective countries. Four new participants – the Czech Republic, Denmark, Switzerland and Ukraine – will complement those from last year: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, along with the return of Portugal.
This diversity is reflected in the theme of this year’s festival, Healing Journeys. Healing – be it mental, physical, spiritual or societal – is vital to the human condition, to our humanity, to our existence. This applies in both South Africa and in Europe, where despite our different contexts and histories, there exists common experience and a mutual need for healing.
The films screening will present, through the lenses of European filmmakers, a snapshot of experiences of re-establishing oneself after sometimes traumatic and possibly cathartic experiences. They deal with journeys that include organic growth, transition, and processes of self-discovery. Many include a healthy dose of humour, bringing some possibly much-needed laughter into our lives. Much of the humour is of a more cerebral nature … films that make you smile and think at the same time.
Essentially, these films present stories of hope, humanity and thought-provoking intrigue, show-casing new work by some of Europe’s most accomplished filmmakers alongside exciting new talent.
“We are deep into our second year of confronting the threat of Covid-19, both in terms of our lives and our livelihoods. It has been difficult … everyone is affected. This year’s European Film Festival has been inspired by overcoming difficulty and challenge. Its theme, Healing Journeys, seems rather appropriate for our times. I take this opportunity to invite you – irrespective of whether you are a repeat or a first-time viewer –to join us on this year’s exciting cinematic, and healing, journey,” says EU Ambassador Riina Kionka.
Austria
A woman needs a new kidney, but is her husband ready to donate? Michael Kreihsl’s Risks and Side Events is a lively comedy about marriage, hypochondria, friends, architects, secrets, and taking risks.
Belgium
Jan Verheyen and Lien Willaert’s film Save Sandra is based on the true and highly topical story of a girl diagnosed with a rare muscular disease, and her father’s fierce battle with the pharmaceutical industry to gain access to medical treatment, raising ethical and societal questions in the process.
Czech Republic
Agnieszka Holland’s politically charged drama Charlatan takes us inside the conflicted life of a non-conformist herbalist, exploring his unshakeable commitment to his calling, the illicit relationship with his assistant, as he perseveres first under Nazi then Communist regimes in Czechoslovakia.
Denmark
The 2021 Oscar for Best International Feature Film went to Thomas Vinterberg’s Another Round, in which four jaded high school teachers embark on a risky experiment to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the workday. Mads Mikkelsen is at his scintillating best in this mature blend of comedy, tragedy, and human behaviour.
France
Starring Gérard Depardieu and Déborah Lukumuena, Robust is an outstanding feature debut by Constance Meyer about an aging film star and a young security guard responsible for watching over him. Despite their differences, life has shaped them in ways more similar than they thought, and their unlikely friendship becomes a search for authenticity, laden with intrigue and humour.
Germany
In Mr Bachmann and His Class the ever-patient teacher uses unconventional methods to inspire his young citizens-in-the-making with a sense of curiosity and appreciation of the complex social and cultural realities of their worlds. Maria Speth’s life-affirming documentary beautifully highlights what a quietly spectacular process education can be.
Ireland
Ruth Meehan’s The Bright Side is a moving and uplifting story about a stand-up comedian diagnosed with breast cancer. Armed with cynicism and blackly comic jokes, her exit strategies are upended when she encounters four powerful women whose unsolicited friendships challenge her, soften her and ultimately blow open her shut-down heart.
Italy
On the face of it, the brightly paced comedy Parents vs Influencers, directed by Michela Andreozzi, seems to focus on the world of social media and influencers, but the heart of it is about change and resistance to change. And father-daughter relationships! And family!
Lithuania
A high-seas jump from a Soviet ship to a US vessel in an attempt for political asylum goes horribly wrong. About an ordinary man who became a symbol for freedom-seeking refugees everywhere, director Giedrė Žickytė’s The Jump takes us on a stranger-than-fiction journey that reaches all the way up to the White House.
The Netherlands
Antoinette Beumer’s My Father is an Airplane is about a woman’s poignant search for the puzzle pieces of her past, a journey that raises questions about parental boundaries, the risks and dangers of childhood as well its joys, and of what it means to be loved and understood.
Poland
Never Gonna Snow Again is writer/ director Malgorzata Szumowska’s exquisitely off-beat story about how a masseur and hypnotist gains acceptance and stature in a wealthy gated community, touching on class, immigration, and global warming.
Portugal
With magnificent black and white cinematography, João Botelho’s The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis brings to screen José Saramago’s novel about a fictitious author’s homecoming, his romantic dalliances, and his mysterious encounters with the ghost of Fernando Pessoa.
Spain
Icíar Bollaín’s gem of a romantic comedy Rosa’s Wedding concerns a woman making radical changes in her life, and this includes a surprise wedding, much to the dismay of her family. A film about self-empowerment and gaining independence.
Sweden
Run Uje Run is an biographical music dramedy about the way life takes turns you could never have imagined. Henrik Schyffert’s directorial debut features musician and actor Uje Brandelius playing himself in this unusual and darkly witty indie drama about appreciating what you have.
Switzerland
Writer-director duo Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond’s, My Little Sister is an intimate, personal tale about sibling love in which a sister gives her all to support her ailing twin brother, and inspires herself at the same time. A powerful look at the bonds both breakable and unbreakable in family.
Ukraine
Kateryna Gornostai’s Stop-Zemlia anchors its open-ended narrative around an introverted schoolgirl and her classmates in this sympathetic portrait of the tidal forces of teenage-hood. A deeply personal story about self-discovery and the patience it requires.
United Kingdom
In Aleem Khan’s ground-breaking feature debut After Love, Joanna Scanlan puts in a phenomenal performance as a white, English Muslim convert uncovering secrets after the death of her husband, while exploring complex themes of loss, cultural identity and reconciliation.
Special Co-Production Presentation
Oscar nominee Jasmila Žbanić’s Quo Vadis Aida? is an extraordinary co-production between nine European countries, in which a UN translator is caught between doing her job and trying to help local inhabitants and her own family when the Serbian army takes over the small town of Srebrenica.
