‘Escalation inevitable’ on Christmas Island

April 13, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

The Federal Opposition says overcrowding at the Christmas Island detention centre is becoming a serious issue, after another two boatloads of asylum seekers were intercepted off northern Australia yesterday.

The latest arrivals come just days after the Federal Government announced that refugees from Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will have to wait up to six months to have their claims processed.

Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison says an escalation in tensions at the centre is inevitable.

“Christmas Island was never built and designed to cope with the failures of Rudd Government policies,” he said.

“And it is very concerning that the staff of our immigration department, customs agencies and other official agencies are being asked to work under these very difficult circumstances and pressures for no other reason than that the Government’s policies have failed.”

Inquiry probes Torres Strait-PNG migration

March 24, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

The head of a Senate committee that is conducting an inquiry into the Torres Strait says it is important it finds out the extent of the problems facing the region.

The committee is in Torres Strait this week to inspect health, defence and Customs’ facilities, and to hear evidence.

Committee chairman and Queensland Senator Russell Trood says one issue it is looking at is the movement of Papua New Guinean nationals into the area.

“The agencies in Canberra tend to be pretty relaxed about the arrangements. They think the Torres Strait treaty arrangements are working pretty well,” he said.

“They generally tend to be comfortable with the level of movement back and forth, but we know that’s not the local view of things.

“There are quite a lot of concerns.”

Mumbai, Mar 22 (ANI): The Mumbai Customs Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) has detained four persons at the Mumbai Airport for violating the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) norms as they carried digital phone memory cards worth Rs 52 lakhs.

August 21, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Sydney, Aug 21 (ANI): In an unusual instance, a British-owned hotel in Bali has reportedly requested its guests to bring in some extra alcohol.

After the re-election of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as Indonesian president last month, the nation’s liquor importation laws have been further tightened.

The government has cracked down on illegal alcohol importation too.

And now, the booze stocks are so low and prices so high that a particular hotel has resorted to asking guests to import alcohol, promising reimbursement.

The hotel is apparently asking quests for namely top-shelf spirits and wine.

Australia-Indonesia Business Council claims that 90 per cent of liquor found in the country is illegally imported in order to avoid the 200 per cent duties and taxes generally levied.

“It’s not because they cant get access to suppliers, it’s more to do with … the procedure for clearing wine through customs has been tightened up considerably,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Ross Taylor, the national vice-president of the Australia Indonesia Business Council as telling Radio 6PR.

July 14, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Lahore, July 14 (ANI): The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) will take legal action against former Olympian Mansoor Ahmad for defaming the national federation.

“We are serving him a legal notice to pay Rs 100 million for defaming the PHF and its officials through his defamatory statements,” a spokesman for the PHF said on Monday.

He said Mansoor had a ‘notorious past’ and was convicted in a fraud and theft case.

“For this very reason he was dismissed from Pakistan Customs,” the spokesman added.

The PHF official said Mansoor was the only Olympian in the entire hockey fraternity who had a ‘dark’ past.

He said Mansoor, in his recent outburst, had levelled baseless allegations against PHF general secretary Muhammad Asif Bajwa and on the working of the PHF, which was violation of the code of conduct.

“The PHF will take disciplinary and legal action.”

He alleged that Mansoor was appointed as coordinator of the PHF hockey academies and his services were terminated recently for his ‘illegal activities’ to obtain USA visas for himself and few other persons.

“Such activities cannot be tolerated and we will be providing sufficient evidence to the concerned authorities to take him to the task,” he concluded. (ANI)

Chennai, July 4 (ANI): A ship carrying aid for victims of war ravaged Sri Lanka, which had anchored off Chennai for more than a fortnight, has been permitted to berth at Chennai Port.

We had earlier requested them to get clearance from Navy, from Coast Guard, from mmigration, customs, and police. And they brought all the clearance yesterday evening,” said Subhash Kumar, acting chairman, Chennai Port Trust.

India to host International workshop on ‘Green Customs Initiatives’

May 25, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, May 25 (ANI): India will host a five-day international workshop starting from today on ‘Green Customs Initiatives’ to bring awareness about environment protection and the role of customs officers in enforcing environmental laws on the borders.

The National Academy of Customs, Excise and Narcotics (NACEN), the training arm of the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), will host the event under the aegis of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) at NACEN in Faridabad.

The Workshop is aimed at bringing about awareness of the importance of environment protection and the role of Customs Officers in this task in the Asia Pacific, Central Asia and Australasia Regions.

The participants of the Workshop are expected to go back to their respective countries duly enriched on this aspect and take forward the “Green Customs Initiatives” which has been launched by the Secretariats of the Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs) such as, Basel Convention, Rotterdam Convention, Stockholm Convention, Montreal Protocol, Chemical Weapons Convention etc. in cooperation with UNEP and the WCO.

The Workshop will be attended by participants from 21 countries of the Central Asia, Asia Pacific and Australasia Regions and Experts from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Customs Organisation (WCO) and the Secretariats of the Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs) (to which India is a party).
