  ECOSOC High-level Segment 2006 - Overview

World Leaders also concluded at the Summit that in many parts of the world the goals could not be achieved by the 2015 deadline under the prevailing employment and labour market condition. Against this backdrop ECOSOC decided to devote its 2006 High-Level Segment to employment. (...) This year's high-level segment again attracted many high-level participants. (...) A report of the Secretary-General on the themes of the high-level segment was jointly prepared by DESA and the ILO.

  Newsletter Substantive Session

Participants delivered presenta- tions on the sub-themes including: • Jobless growth; • Labour market and social protection; • Labour market changes during the tran- sition; • Growth and employment for inclusive development in Africa; and • The challenges and prospects of youth employment. (...) The theme on “how unique labour market changes were in economies in transi- tion” was introduced to the participants for the Europe region. (...) Participants also noted that the challenge on the issue of trade and access of developing countries to the markets was to address the sup- ply side of production constraints and take ad- vantage of the existing markets, rather than to focus solely on the agricultural markets.

At the same time, it is exactly the characteristics such as remoteness which places SIDS at an economic dis-advantage especially in terms of transport and communication and access to world markets. Many SIDS are often excluded from main air and sea transport routes, eroding economic competitiveness. (...) The discussions will focus on actions by all stakeholders to better tap into the opportunities for enhanced connectivity in SIDS including the role of governments and the private sector to introduce competition to overcome the challenges in SIDS markets. Key objectives: 1. Share country experiences and exchange of views on how improving connectivity for tourism can improve the tourism sector and complement the 2030 Agenda, the SDGs and the SAMOA Pathway. 2. (...)

  INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION

Management of telecommunication networks is generally guided by a two-fold principle, namely: • Purchase of infrastructure through contracting in a market open to several companies, which is more effective than a monopoly in providing flexibility to gear services to customer demand. The market is subject to specific rules in order to ensure security of infrastructure and compatibility of services provided. - 3 - • Management of infrastructure as a "natural monopoly", facilitating economies of scale. (...) SAT 3 constitutes an opportunity for all the operators. 2 Trunk transmission infrastructures Since CAMTEL has a monopoly on trunk links, network operators will inform CAMTEL of residual capacities available on their networks, which CAMTEL will market. 3 Passive infrastructures The network operators undertake to foster sharing of all passive infrastructures with a view to improving telecommunication service coverage.
