NICE, FRANCE, June 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) There had been fears from some quarters that with Croatia's impending accession to full EU member status, set for 1st July, non-EU citizens could suffer from new lengthy and costly visa application processes. To alleviate these worries for both tourists and the Croatian yacht charter industry the authorities have moved swiftly to clarify the situation.
In line with the freedom of movement act all EU and EEA (European Economic Area) citizens will no longer require a visa to enter Croatia or Croatian waters, taking much of the stress out of pre-holiday hassle. Perhaps more importantly for the yacht charter industry the Croatian immigration department has also moved to simplify the visa process for non-EU citizens, chiefly Russian and Turkish visitors.
According to Dorijan Dujmic, the managing partner of BWA Yachting "from 1st July, the classic visa regime of the EU will now apply for citizens of Russia and Turkey, as well as all citizens of those countries that need a visa for entering EU member countries.
This means that holders of valid Schengen documents will not require additional visas for entry and short term stays in Croatia. The Russian marketplace is big business for the Croatian yacht charter industry and the Croatian tourism industry as a whole and so recognizing this fact by removing some of the red tape from the usual visa application process is a shrewd move.
In the past two years there has been a 10% growth in Russian tourists visiting Croatia and they were amongst the top 10 spenders. It is hoped that these new changes will make the visa process more clear and uniform, encouraging foreign clients to consider Croatia as a holiday destination when they consider booking a yacht for Mediterranean charter.
Previously the Croatian authorities have granted visa waivers to Russian's in summer to promote tourism however now it will be compulsory for all non-EU visitors to have the required, valid Schengen documents. Russian citizens not in possession of a Schengen visa however, will benefit from a fast application approval process that should take no longer than five days through the Croatian Embassy in Moscow.
Captains and crew have come out in support of these changes as they often have to take responsibility for ensuring in advance that their guests have the correct documents when booking a yacht for charter and up until now they weren't sure of the necessary requirements.

2013-06-20
Tragically, military veterans of past U.S. conflicts continue to be diagnosed with a deadly form of cancer known as mesothelioma. For many of these victims, their conditions can be directly linked to asbestos exposure during their time in military service. And while veterans of some branches of the armed services were inherently more at risk to come into contact with asbestos during their service, none were completely safe, including members of the U.S. Air Force.
Dangers of asbestos exposure
Prior to the 1980s, asbestos could be found almost everywhere. In particular, ...

Laws impacting unpaid overtime in Utah
2013-06-20
Although some states have elected to create their own statutes regarding employee overtime, many states, including Utah, generally adhere to federal overtime laws in wage and hour disputes - specifically, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Under the FLSA, unless an employee is clearly exempted, he or she is entitled to receive overtime pay for any time worked in excess of 40 hours in a given week. In particular, the rate of pay for overtime hours must be at least one and one-half times an employee's regular pay rate. In addition, an agreement between an employer and ...

Unique Considerations In Military Divorce
2013-06-20
Military members face unique challenges in both their professional and personal lives. Long deployments make it challenging for some military members to stay in touch with their families and have been linked to a growing military divorce rate. Between 2001 and 2011, the divorce rate increased from 2.6 to 3.7 percent, though it dropped slightly to 3.5 percent in 2012. For female soldiers, the divorce rate is significantly higher -- at 9.4 percent.
In response, some branches of the military have created workshops for couples in the military. The Marines, for example, provide ...
The Importance Of Establishing Paternity In Texas
2013-06-20
Under Texas laws, if a man and woman are not married and a child is born from their relationship, the child does not have a "legal" father. When this occurs, it is vital for the parents to sign an "Acknowledgement of Paternity" as soon as possible in order to protect both the child's and the father's legal rights.
