The impact assessment (IA) for this REFIT initiative is based on solid internal and external expertise, notably an evaluation of the current RIS Directive, an extensive tailored support study and broad stakeholder consultation. The intervention logic is clear and consistent, even though the objectives of the initiative could have been defined in a more distinct manner. The IA consistently places the revision of the RIS Directive in the context of other EU legislation in the area of the green and digital transition, highlighting the need for coherence (while also pointing to the limited size of the inland water transport sector). The IA presents 17 measures to tackle the identified problems, grouped into three options. They indicate the overarching decisions to be made, leaving a number of technical implementation aspects aside, as these will be regulated in secondary legislation. The assessment of the options and measures is qualitative and quantitative, the latter based on extensive modelling. While the IA is transparent about the models, methods and underlying assumptions, the presentation of the costs and benefits could have been more coherent and accessible to facilitate the reader's ability to follow and compare them. The IA assesses impacts on and concerns of SMEs, while admitting to a lack of certain data, which is reflected in rather detailed monitoring suggestions for the future. The proposal appears to be in line with the IA's preferred option. For the sake of transparency, a comprehensive bibliography featuring all sources should be a mandatory part of any IA, and all sources should be publicly available at the time of an initiative's publication. In this case, the IA's support study is not clearly identifiable, so that certain aspects, notably the tailor-made modelling tool, cannot be checked. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

SINGAPORE — A 14-year-old girl who ran away from home took refuge in the flat of a man she had met through her cousin as she had nowhere to go. There, the man and his friends plied her with alcohol before taking turns to rape her while she was drunk. Umar Abdul Rahim, then 18 years old and doing national service, was one of the three who gang-raped her in May 2021. Now 21, he was sentenced to 11 years' jail and 12 strokes of the cane on Oct 1 by the High Court after he pleaded guilty to a charge of rape. His cousin, Muhammad Uzair Abdul Rahman, 21, was sentenced to 16 years' jail and 20 strokes of the cane in October 2023. He had pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and a count of sexual penetration of a minor under the age of 16. The third man involved in the rape, Noor Asri Mohd Tahil, 37, and another alleged accomplice, Mohammad Shahridzmie Salleh, 21, have not been dealt with yet. The victim, whose identity is protected by a gag order, was placed under a Beyond Parental Control (BPC) order in March 2020.
