The Principality took part, as a member of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, in the work of the 41st session of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) held in Budva, Montenegro, from October 16 to 20.
On World Food Day, October 16, the GFCM reiterated the importance of safeguarding products from the oceans, which contribute to food security and nutrition around the world.
To meet this need, the Commission adopted the First Regional Action Plan to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, as well as a new Strategy for the Sustainable Development of Aquaculture, consistent with the Ministerial Declaration of Malta MedFish4Ever, signed by the Principality on May 31, 2017.
The Government of Monaco, supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, has signed a triennial agreement 2017-2019 with GFCM for “Promoting the sustainable development of fisheries through the fight against illegal and unreported and unregulated fishing in the GFCM area of application, in the Mediterranean and in the Black Sea.”
Bonjour Monaco! Welcome to another week of shopping, champagne popping, and name dropping in the Principality. How was your weekend? What did you do? Did you hit up the All Saints Fair on the port or did the sounds of children have you running off to the Wine Palace to calm your nerves?
The weather is getting crispy and so are the fashion fits around town. In Monaco details are everything. Whether you are Angela Orlova, and the thought of leaving the house without your diamonds send a chill up your spine, or Alessandro Egger with your perfectly puffed pocket square, remember … I see everything. Call me your friendly neighborhood style spy.

@helirena I told you guys I didn’t want to see any florals after summer’s finish but hey, as long as it’s autumnally toned it gets a passing mark from me. Helirena gets +10 points for being super on trend with that red Gucci Marmont bag perfectly coordinated with her makeup look but loses some because girl … next time get housekeeping to steam that dress before going out. This is Monaco. We don’t do wrinkles on our clothes or faces. Overall she looks stunning, the look compliments her skin tone and hair colour making her glow like a fall sunset.
Alessandro Egger
@alessandroegger Italian-Serbian actor/model Alessandro Egger was spotted bopping around town this weekend now that he’s finished on the television adventure competition show Pechino Express. While it was a sunny few days, Alessandro was feeling gray in a Versace Collection suit (he’s walked the runway for them). Though simple, this look is perfect in the fact that when you look like Alessandro do you really have to try so hard with your outfit?
All jokes aside, a gray blazer over a white shirt is an easy way to look chic without breaking the bank. It will transition well from lunch to dinner to a night out in Jimmy’z or Sass, without looking too stiff. Add a pocket flair to communicate to people that you are a “very cultured man” and voilà, you look like you’re ready to smoke cigars and sip vintage whisky and whatnot.
Angela Orlova
@orlovaangela Okay, now on to one of my favourites of not just the weekend but pretty much all day, everyday. I haven’t featured her before purely due to the fact that I can never decide which of her outfits to feature and then I get blinded by the diamonds and can’t think straight. But finally here she is in the Weekend Report. Angela Orlova.
Head of Design and co-founder with her husband of Orlov Jewelry, Mrs Orlova is the brand’s best ambassador never leaving the house without her diamonds on (of course, her own brand). I mean like this is MONACO duh, but walking your dog in full diamonds is my life’s goal to be honest.
Also let’s talk about her shoe game … those brown leather Niki boots by YSL are so on point for the season. The Givenchy black dress and Yves Saint Laurent blazer give it an extra edgy kick. Celine sunnies, diamond Audemars Piguet watch and a Hermès Kelly Cut Pochette in crocodile were her lux accessories du jour and I’m obsessed. While Angela’s Instagram caption states “NO DRAMA” her Orlov Jewellery Serpentes necklace and ring are saying something different.
Nikola Giudicelli
@nikola_giudicelli I’ve been watching this stylish stud for sometime now imagining what his closet must look like. His style is lux casual, T-shirts and sweaters, sliders and baseball hats, but obviously they’re all luxury brands.
Moving onto the more causal side of the weekend style, Nikola kept it coordinated. Red and gold was the palette. A red Supreme T-shirt complimented his black pants with red racers stripes on the side, an iconic Supreme piece, the gold bar pendant chain went with the gold Ray Bans he rocked while inside the Philipp Plein store (too many flashy crystals maybe?).
But do I spy with my little style eye a … BLACKBERRY? How vintage! How retro! I’m sure he has an iPhone 8 hidden somewhere in that Gucci backpack. Good job Nikola, you’re cool in our books.
Ludmila Vierka
@ludmila.vierka Last but not least is Romanian beauty Ludmila Vierka, whom I’ve spotted from time to time. Let me just speak in Instagram terms quickly. She SLAYS, she’s GOALS AF, her aesthetic is EVERYTHING, YASSSS. Okay, I’m done.
But seriously she knows how to put together a look, from hair to makeup to accessories to clothes and the right pose. I’m loving her dark look for the weekend with a embellished black camouflage jacket with patches, her black boots and chain bag that give it a biker girl chic vibe and her mirror sunnies. Oh and in a classic Insta-girl baddie move … the Starbucks cup as a prop. Want a lesson on how to get your social media feed on fleek. Look at Ludmila. PS that hair and highlight … insert sparkle emoji here.

The First Powers Property Padel Invitational welcomed 24 players on Thursday at the Stade du Devans in Beausoleil for an evening of play and conviviality.
“We had a good crowd of about 70 people last night,” Mike Powers, Tournament Co-director along with Thomas Johansson and Tony Torriani, told Monaco Life, “who were given a demonstration from former World Number One padel player Gaby Reka.”
The Round Robin of four groups included Ivan Ljubicic, former top tennis pro and current trainer of Roger Federer, and Irina Peterson, who recently made history as part of the first Women’s team to represent Monaco at the European Padel Club Championship in September.
Gisela Johansson, one of the three women to play, made it to the semi-finals, but it was the Men’s team of Dr Jean-Marc Parisaux from IM2S and David Thomas who took the cup as tournament champions.

While some teams advanced, others enjoyed the barbeque and drinks on hand. “There was a great atmosphere and participation at the first invitational Powers Properties Padel tennis event!” Irina, who played with former Davis Cup player for Monaco, Christophe Bosio, said.
Powers Property Padel Invitational had several sponsors including Blue Coast Brewing Company, the new craft brewery owned by several F1 drivers and local athletes.
After three days of fruitful discussions, the fourth international workshop on ocean acidification ended in the presence of the Prince Albert.
The event, which concluded on October 17, presented political recommendations as well as scientific and technical findings, which this year focused on coral reefs. Professor Denis Allemand, Scientific Director of the Scientific Centre of Monaco, reminded participants that ocean acidification results from the dissolution of carbon dioxide in the oceans emitted by human activities.
He said that coral reefs, which are fragile ecosystems and sensitive to climate change, act as “sentinels” for the state of health of the oceans, playing the part of both actors and victims of global warming.
During his closing address, the Sovereign Prince spoke of the importance of protected marine areas, which delay the action of global warming. He concluded his speech on the importance of bearing in mind commercial considerations in environmental issues.
This fourth workshop led to several recommendations, such as the necessity of monitoring protected areas, determined by human and scientific criteria; the development of education, awareness and communication; and the restoration of the reefs. The conference also highlighted the necessary coordination of economic and political actions and the development of research to collect scientific data, which is essential to anticipate our future.
The workshops on ocean acidification were born from the Monaco Declaration (2008), which aimed to challenge policy makers on the issues of ocean acidification and encourage research efforts in this area.
Organised by the Monaco Scientific Centre, in partnership with the IAEA’s Laboratories for the Environment, the Prince Albert II Foundation and the French Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition, the workshop brought together some sixty world specialists around technical, scientific, economic and political solutions to “save” the reefs.
Bonjour Monaco! Welcome to another week of shopping, champagne popping, and name dropping in the Principality. How was your weekend? What did you do? Did you hit up the All Saints Fair on the port or did the sounds of children have you running off to the Wine Palace to calm your nerves?
