The seven deadly sins.

The seven deadly sins. Should I be careful when I wave my wand during the next a couple days? Because for you the Message is still be same: - You are missing the point. It’s not like the crew of BA which “I make once” (calling them in my article the ‘Cross-dressed twats’) enter in strike. It’s not that Youshenko through the russians communicating with whom the make confiscation of the check 125 million euros in value: “Guys, you bought the Titanic’s tickets…” It’s not the next day after agreeing in the date for Proliferation Treaty signature, that the “casually” the Semiconductors’ NXP want to planning an IPO. Even it’s not the medvedev’s “fees” for 25+1% of “Technologii Holdinga”, (where the Basel II Inter bank Agreement is), when the two senior members of UBS arrested in the U.S. for fraud. It’s all the “treaties”… Man…, - it’s not that I determined to fight the fire with a fire. It’s not that I match someone’s mood. Even if I dislike it, like the unexpected visit (after Operation Ruthenium, after agreed date for signature “8/4”, after “greek redemption”, exactly day before of the Miller’s officialization with “british petroleum”…), - the three young spying creeps from Labor (PS) party, for the benefits of Aston’s “british energy” in my place… Today I can say where posted (or should I say “is place”) the impertinent Ashay’s question: “what-you-do-to-find-the-job?” “My dear friends” – “A PRETO”… And how I repeat for a couples of days now, even if you forget and forgive what I wrote, - I don’t. Also, but in another hand, I don’t take umbrage. However knowing that the appearens (immediately after Labor sunnies) of the baby car at my kitchen window, - I will have news… For which will pay dearly from my pocket… And wasn’t wrong. These guys are strong enough in theirs prayers. To asking vehemently theirs gods to me burn in hell. If not, which possible explanation to be found in the exactly that, the “clean 5 off-shores” refinery, upon which I spend tones of writing ink to exposing all the details yet in 2005? This May Elections? Well, “my friends”, - it’s possible. But, all this “arrangements” and “pre-arrangements” I call simply – the ongoing piggy faces from Brussels’ and Strasburg. The long phrase but which in total describing the all “Seven Sins” (see below the German text, which correspond to my point of view. One between others ways to made business connections through the COMPANY I keep.)). That baby car plus 800 gas stations in the UK, - make all my morning today… Than Elizabeth the II appeared before my woke-up telling me that with a bottle of whisky, - I just ‘jar head’… Me who never was, and since today, - never will be… If I wanted to protect O’Bama with his son medvedev, or the Greek with his son Socrates, or some cross-dressed twat with his son, - that the venture (see compilated articles) – effectively exceed all my expectations! If the City of London Corporation culture like that small tugboat at midnight are looking for lighthouse: - you nock in right door. I recall, that during the second re-election of “put – in” also the six politicians where killed in traffic accident in the Region of the UK’s Gazprom ship. And that not “… off cliff on a beach of Taen…”

Alstom acquires 25% of the capital of Transmashholding. 01 March 2010. On 1 March 2010, Alstom and Transmashholding (TMH), Russia's largest railway equipment manufacturer, signed three documents which firm up the strategic partnership agreement that they signed on 31 March 2009. These documents were signed in the presence of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, President of the Russian Federation, and Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France.The partners both signed: 1).a Share Purchase Agreement under the terms and conditions of which Alstom acquires a 25% stake + 1 share in Transmashholding's parent company, Breakers Investment BV. 2). an amendment to the current Shareholders’ Agreement between the shareholders on how the company is to be managed. 3).a Master Cooperation Agreement between Transmashholding and Alstom Transport which specifies the terms according to which their joint activities in developing and manufacturing new rolling stock and components for railway equipment are to be carried out.

This company is tasked with creating Russian centres of excellence for designing and manufacturing railway system equipment and key components, integrating the latest technologies developed by Alstom Transport and TMH.

Two Russian bankers arrested in the U.S. for fraud. A senior member of investment banking division of Swiss bank UBS, Rossiyanin Poteroba Igor and his friend Alexey Koval, were arrested in the United States on charges of insider trading, through which they have received about 870 thousand dollars, said in a press release, the prosecutor's office for the Southern District of New York.

Semiconductor firm NXP planning IPO: sources. Sat Mar 27, 2010 6:03pm GMT. NEW YORK/AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch semiconductor company NXP, owned by private equity investors including KKR, Silver Lake and Bain Capital, is planning an initial public offering (IPO), two people familiar with the matter said. A potential IPO could raise about $1 billion, one of the sources said. NXP was spun off from Koninklijke Philips Electronics NV (PHG.AS) in 2006 in a leveraged buyout. A consortium of private equity investors comprising Silver Lake, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR.AS), Bain Capital, Apax and AlpInvest Partners, bought a 80.1 percent stake in the company. The banks and private equity firms either declined comment, or could not be reached. NXP and Philips declined to comment. Philips said in January its remaining 19.8 percent stake in NXP had a value of 207 million euros ($275.9 million) as of December 2009, implying a valuation for the whole company of more than one 1 billion euros. KKR has already written down its stake in NXP substantially, saying in December that the fair value of its investment was $75 million on a cost of $250 million. NXP's Chief Executive Rick Clemmer told Reuters earlier this year that he expected sales to be flat to slightly higher during the first quarter, but was waiting for more clarity about the market in the second half. Private equity firms buy companies with the aim of exiting them a few years later, either through a sale or an initial public offering. During the financial crisis, leaving investments was very difficult, but the markets have opened up recently, allowing some firms to exit.

The seven deadly sins of the eurozone. 28/03/10 10:30. The euro was based on the idea that future crises would have a similar magnitude to those of the past. The recession left it to view some of the biggest weaknesses of the union. The euro is dead, the euro is doomed, the euro will disappear. Since its inception, has already lost count of the times which announced the death of the single currency, only varying the extent of such advertising. Such scenarios are exaggerated, maybe, but built on very real problems of monetary union. The drag of the doubts surrounding the budget crisis of Greece brought back the announcement of the beginning of the end of Euroland. Just as before, the announcement may be exaggerated. But no one doubts that for the euro area continues as an economic bloc worthy of the name, there must be a reform in Europe to 16, that addresses some of the major deficiencies of the monetary union. Contacted by the Economic Daily, several international economists have accepted the challenge of identifying at least seven deadly sins of Euroland.
1. Lack of a budget authority
2. States retain sovereignty in economic policy
3. Inability to expel non-compliant
4. Economies do not prepare for the euro
5. Little or no attention to competitive imbalances (Primeiro, olha para sua cara…)
6. Germany is the locomotive of Europe or grows at the expense of it?
7. Lack of authority of European

Russians prepare £1bn grab for UK fuel supplies. March 28, 2010. GAZPROM, Russia’s state-owned gas giant, is preparing an audacious bid to become one of the biggest fuel suppliers in Britain.
The company is expected to lodge an offer this week for a network of 800 petrol stations and the Lindsey oil refinery at Killingholme, Lincolnshire. The assets have been put up for sale by Total, the French oil group. It has hired JP Morgan, the investment bank, to sell its UK business, which employs 5,000 people. The business is expected to fetch more than £1 billion. The prospect of the Kremlin controlled giant owning key parts of the UK oil infrastructure could worry the government. When Gazprom was rumoured to be looking at a bid for Centrica, owner of British Gas, in 2006, ministers met to examine the “possible consequences resulting from any takeover of a major UK energy supplier”. The auction is part of a remarkable shake-up of Britain’s oil refining and distribution industry. Half of the refining capacity, built up in the 1960s and 1970s to take production from a booming North Sea, is up for sale as energy giants look to sever ties with the low-margin, low-growth British market. The most likely buyers are energy firms from the developing world eager for an entry point to European markets. Chevron Texaco, the American oil group, has hired Deutsche Bank to sell its Pembroke refinery in Wales, which employs 1,400, as well as its network of petrol stations for up to £1.3 billion. Royal Dutch Shell is in talks with Essar, the Indian conglomerate, to sell its Stanlow refinery near Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Gazprom is expected to bid for the Total assets through its oil arm, Gazprom Neft. Included in the Total sale is the 247km underground pipeline from Lindsey to the Buncefield fuel depot, which serves southeast England and Heathrow airport. Much of the site was destroyed in an explosion in 2005 but there are plans to rebuild it. Other suitors include Essar and Valero, the American refining giant, and at least one private equity bidder. The same players may be interested in Pembroke, which could also attract oil traders such as Vitol. There is an outside chance a buyer could attempt a takeover of more than one of the refineries, giving it a dominant position in Britain.

u - NXP ted...


u - NXP ted... I was expecting that the 8 of April give me beating in my head tonight. And it was. First, appear the one operation features in my Word software, only in russian and than the double electric shock in opposite direction, through my head. In this “way” explaining to me the role and the position of the UK. The position of the “middle” between the bigs of Proliferation Treaty. Than, almost unexpectedly, (because I insist on this for decades), the “bastardness of Prince Charles the II” – pop-ups. The Co telling, whit which I have the same opinion, that it’s was because of his son. The exact words I direct yesterday to HIM, and the rest of the Royal Family of Lancaster’s of “future of our civilization”. The second explanation to my hitting was that World since the primordial times, like to do ‘the nuclear tests simultaneously’, - which is absolute rubbish. But, where is exactly to lie the “bastard Prince the Charles the II” with his son and the “City of London Corporation” culture. And off course, my Application Form for the Barbican 4 Grade Administrator position. To don’t speak about the shit from nation…, - that I clean out since the 1735 in the toilets of British Natural History Museum.

KKR Said to Plan $1 Billion IPO for NXP in Year’s Biggest Deal. March 27 (Bloomberg) -- NXP BV, the Dutch chipmaker bought by KKR & Co. four years ago, plans to raise at least $1 billion to cut debt in a deal that would be this year’s largest initial public offering, two people with knowledge of the matter said. NXP hired Morgan Stanley, Barclays Plc, Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to run the stock sale, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. KKR, Silver Lake, AlpInvest Partners NV, Bain Capital and Apax Partners acquired an 80.1 percent stake in the firm from Royal Philips Electronics NV in 2006, in a multistage deal valuing the company at 8.3 billion euros ($11.1 billion), including debt. KKR said in December its NXP investment was worth 30 cents on the dollar. Kristi Huller, a KKR spokeswoman in New York, declined to comment on the potential IPO. Spokesmen for the five banks also declined to comment. Buyout shops have been trying to take companies public to use the proceeds to pay down debt. The group of sponsors borrowed $4.5 billion to fund the takeover four years ago. The semiconductor company’s debt rose to $6.4 billion by the start of 2009. NXP cut that by $1.3 billion through bond exchanges, buy-backs and “privately negotiated” deals last year, the company said this month. At $1 billion, NXP would be the biggest announced offering this year. Earlier this month, Bain Capital LLC’s Sensata Technologies Holding NV completed the largest U.S. IPO of 2010, selling $569 million of shares at the low end of its expected price range. NXP’s owners aren’t planning to also run a prospective auction for the company, said the people with knowledge of the matter, in part because Philips intends to keep its stake of about 20 percent. That would complicate a sale to any firm competing with the Dutch lighting company. NXP, with 29,000 employees, makes computer chips for customers such as Nokia Oyj, Continental AG and Robert Bosch GmbH, according to its Web site. The Eindhoven, Netherlands- based firm’s revenue dropped to $3.8 billion in 2009 from $5.4 billion the previous year.

The Euro Crisis. The financial daily Handelsblatt writes: "Now Greece has to bow down to the IMF and its strict conditions. Out of pride and principle, many Europeans see this as wrong-headed. Central banks within the euro zone are certainly not keeping their concerns a secret. The iron chancellor has scored a victory, but a lot of plates will be shattered in the process." "But payback will come as surely as school kids take revenge on the school bully. Where will the majority for a German head of the European Central Bank now come from? Also, the much-needed agreement on a European Monetary Fund is now far from the agenda. The euro zone needs more transparency and controls as well as the ability to exclude those who continue to break the rules. But after the battle over Greece, there is scarcely much hope for a new consensus."
The center-left Frankfurter Rundschau writes: "If -- after forty years and a single currency -- the Chancellor now calls on the International Monetary Fund to save Greece, she is betraying the very concept of Europe. In calling on the IMF, Merkel calls on none other than the United States, which dominates the IMF with its blocking minority of 17 percent. What a wretched state of affairs. What a disgrace for the European Commission and the European Central Bank. It is as if Germany could not solve a problem of the size of Hesse." "And the betrayal goes deeper still: In the past, every European crisis has deepened EU integration. It moved forward in the very moments when the pressure became unbearable and the institutions revealed weakness. Now, though, it is moving backwards."
The Financial Times Deutschland writes: "This compromise puts the Greek patient out of danger, for now. But at the same time there is a new arrival in intensive care: the European currency union. And its plight will be passed on to a working group, or, in other words, it will be more or less ignored." "Regardless of whether the euro group helps Greece directly or whether member states opt for bilaterally coordinated loans, the Stability Pact has been made obsolete. The so-called no-bailout clause in the Maastricht Treaty is formulated with such clarity, its intention so obvious, that as soon as a euro zone member is given financial help, it will represent a violation both in word and spirit of that treaty. It is possible to consciously decide to break the rules if a situation demands it, such as in the case of Greece. But then, at the same time, you have to hammer out new mechanisms to ensure the stability of the euro -- but this issue has been buried in a workgroup."
The conservative Die Welt writes: "To be sure, Greece has violated the letter of the Maastricht Treaty, thereby jeopardizing the euro. But Germany has also gone against the spirit of the treaty -- thus endangering Europe. The strong man strategy currently being pursued does not only block the road to further European integration, it also threatens to destroy decades of progress towards integration".
"In the context of the south-European crisis, to portray Germany as a poster boy could hardly be more tactless. To restore the competitiveness which Spain and Greece have lost compared to Germany since the introduction of the euro, wages there would have to fall by about 20 percent. And to have a state deficit of up to 3 percent by 2013 would mean each one would have to put up with a (cumulative) reduction of gross domestic product by about 15 percent. No population would want to put up with such changes for three years." "There are surely better solutions than simply shoveling money from north to south. But Berlin is not even open to discussion -- instead it simply refuses to acknowledge that Germany itself is part of the problem too."

Moving networks.


Moving networks. How in english speaking World we can translate the Taras Bulba? I personally don’t have a clue. But the ‘City of London Corporation’ culture – got it. And ‘got it’ all day long. Sometimes calling this AGV, sometimes TGV, sometimes ‘Metropolic Urbanis’, sometimes the Sri Lanka Government Railway, and some times they called this just a Citadis from Strasburg. But the message stills the same: kill this sonnawabitch. Referring obviously to my persona. For one pound – such a big prize! How the Independent acquisition priced the virtual Barbican’s Administrator of 4 Grade, who can shut tightly the all ‘City of London Corporation’ culture mouths. Or my come first? Like I said before, - no such thing like a free meal. And you can wisely with ““my” SOCA” wash all your greed down. However, the my past actions and social verdicts (after today’s City), - need to be defended. Like the RJD’s prices in CIF of my Portland cement 450. And only there “we” have a problem. Not because of the Socrates making my son with Gulbenkian, not because the Eurasia (EU) to don’t ‘lost the train’ put the макаронник (of Polonium) sewing the fat in front of all World, (it’s like that Calvin and Susie, after the bizzard building a snow fort), it’s the much older variant of the Italian boy, who works in the borough were I live, now walking aimlessly with a bags full of rubbish. THIS what remain me to be cautious… To be careful with “A PRETO”, to be alert with untouchable pharaoh Charles the II, (I was and still be lucid to know why I wrote “that”) to be vigilant with which kind of “barrette” you want to enfilade on my head. I’m referring here to the balança of Lancaster’s, where in one side is my social place (heir’s just “die”), and in another side heir’s (they’re many), - “walking the World”, like that “A PRETO” said. I.e. travels, holydays, ‘business trips’, etc. That life of spies in the pink color Bentleys. To carry my eyes peel when the absolute despair that day before filled me up – don’t mean the simple check of 125 million euros for him. Exactly the situation where I should ask me AND HIM is whether I don’t feel forced, pushed or bounced (like that Italian Lira in HIS flag, on the somebody’s head) to agreeing with a suggestion that does not sit comfortably with me? (Maybe still asking mum through the web? You know to whom I’m referring to.) Surprise! This night again was dreaming with a nigger. Who was securing my tie and was ready to give me blow. The “Technologii Relsovogo Transporta” – catch my cliff? Not that I care. I don’t. Its wasn’t a question in hindu language, it was only the my and Marii Luk’anovny focus in the finance, work and career matters.

Operation, codenamed Ruthenium: (The name derives from Ruthenia, the Latin word for Rus', a historical area which includes present-day western Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and parts of Slovakia and Poland. ) Alstom, a French engineering company, which constructs high-speed trains and power stations, was saved from bankruptcy in 2004 when Nicolas Sarkozy, then France's finance minister, organised a state bailout. The firm is already the subject of investigations by the French and Swiss authorities into allegations of bribery and corruption.

Alstom acquires 25% of the capital of Transmashholding. 01 March 2010. On 1 March 2010, Alstom and Transmashholding (TMH), Russia's largest railway equipment manufacturer, signed three documents which firm up the strategic partnership agreement that they signed on 31 March 2009. These documents were signed in the presence of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev, President of the Russian Federation, and Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France.The partners both signed: 1).a Share Purchase Agreement under the terms and conditions of which Alstom acquires a 25% stake + 1 share in Transmashholding's parent company, Breakers Investment BV. 2). an amendment to the current Shareholders’ Agreement between the shareholders on how the company is to be managed. 3).a Master Cooperation Agreement between Transmashholding and Alstom Transport which specifies the terms according to which their joint activities in developing and manufacturing new rolling stock and components for railway equipment are to be carried out. A joint engineering company - "Tekhnologii Relsovogo Transporta - TRT" has already been set up and registered in Russia.

Brown proposes Acas talks to halt rail strikes. Publication date: 26 March 2010 Source: People Management Online. The government has urged more talks between Network Rail and unions to prevent the threat of a national rail strike. Rail unions the RMT and TSSA have announced they will strike for four days from 6 April in a row over job cuts and safety. Prime minister Gordon Brown yesterday called for both parties to attend further talks at conciliation service Acas to seek a resolution. The dispute centres on 1,500 job cuts made by Network Rail, as well as changes to working practices that would see more maintenance work done in the evenings and at weekends. The unions claim the moves will threaten safety on the railways, although Network Rail dispute this. The co-ordinated strike action will consist of four-hour strikes twice daily by 5,800 RMT signal workers from 6 April, backed up by the TSSA’s 16,000 rail maintenance staff and 2,000 managers who will walk out from early on Tuesday 7 April until midnight on Thursday 9 April. Overtime and rest-day working will also be banned by the unions during the dispute, which is expected to halt three out of four trains and disrupt at least 2.5 million passengers. Robin Gisby, Network Rail's director of operations and customer services, said: "Britain's railway is safer than ever. The issue of safety is a smokescreen from a union leadership stuck in the steam age. "Our contingency plans are well advanced and aim to keep as many trains running as possible. But a national rail strike will have a severe impact on services and on Britain." The vast majority of the 1,500 job losses would be achieved by voluntary redundancy, Network Rail added. RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: "RMT negotiators have worked flat out to try and reach an agreement that protects rail safety, job security and working agreements in the disputes involving signaling and maintenance staff on Britain's railways. "Despite long hours of talks, we have received nothing concrete from Network Rail that addresses the key issues.” Transport secretary Lord Adonis said: "A strike is in no-one's interests and could cause serious disruption to passengers. Both sides should seek to resolve this dispute by negotiation and not confrontation and I am urging them to do so."

Check will be fine…


Check will be fine… Absolutely nothing changes if the russians are catches in the US with inside trading. It’s the Basel II Interbank Agreement which “works” and make this happen. “Wasn’t” my, the quite daunting ‘Application Form’ effort. Where the exactly lie my not forgiveness for cynically burned expectations. Even if you in disposition to forgive. It’s my, sensibility. Which by self, - call for extra care in this huge and fare decision, (the FSA and the SOCA advancements). The night before, I was dreaming with only apparent nonsense. Was dreaming with the “fofas”, who speak in russian, but the one is a daughter of Cheney and the other is the daughter of Alekperov. With the sequent strong implication that this is all about the Iraqi’s oil and gas fields’ tenders… Well, it’s so too faraway from my elementary needs, that I just put fact into the Facebook and say to myself: - ‘It might be necessary to modify for completely my ideas in case I want to get Project (after the nuclear deal of 15th floor), - “off the ground”. And to scrapping “some things” altogether. Also, to try with “50 pi” in my pocket not play the go-between, or some kind of mediator even though the “others” (You know how I call them) are asking me to do this. Why? Because I’m in present CONDITIONS not enable to manage a situation so big and confused that it’s become very similar to the derailed train. (I.e. Alstom UK directors arrested on bribery charges.) And when I start to care of myself? Judge for yourself, - some times it’s easier to find a different ways to put my soul to good use, rather than continue on plans that aren’t working. However, my message is, - the neutral ground. Question remains: - put the exclamation or interrogation mark? If my new shoes is the Property Agreement (I.e. the Mark’s quadralandproperty.com), and the City of London Corporation Culture of Greek teeth, is the long term financial contract, - they should be immediately and completely renegotiated before this week ends! Like I said before, - it’s a little or no change at all if you are ‘distracting’ me by “new” and “fresh” ideas and to arrest some greedy bastards. What I was EXPECTING is that key officials (You know how I call them) – express deeper interests in doing joint-ventures with me, create a new and solid home structures. Instead of blind denials of key facts which will be more costly later on in “our” romantic differences. And than call me this, (the “Nakajima-35”), has always that connotation which enables the Co talk and do with me (with the “set-up”, the “mutually combined”, the “predetermined”, the “fixed”) whatever the establishment resolve to do. Knowing well that my “ballast” tuned in a way that I first die than betray what’s best for me and “my team”. That I’m very much keyed to this, the optimal business opportunities. So, for this time, - will be it. The “pragmatism” of my pocket is telling to trash out the airy-fairy projections. Also telling me, to ask the “policy-makers” and “CV – brokers” how truly if at all, my campaign is carried out. I’m looking not for $940 billion (£627bn), - I’m looking for results. See, how I’m too skeptical about the words right now, and prefer for good to judge people by theirs actions. This, with yours prays, will end like that gigantic Troll once taking the bath-shower, and than slipping on the small piece of soap… I, with you am the same. To roll out my vision (which actually a very quickly is taking shape), and let those around me to know what I’m thinking, only make to no one telling me to shut up! (In same time, off course “they were telling me”: - it’s your “tripas”…) Still, maybe it’s my team-work, team-rest, and team-play? Whatever, but this time I see the opportunity to “show off” my ability and put the people, ideas and things together profitably.

Separate control of money and capital: Dr. Hankel (Wilhelm Hankel (80) is Professor Emeritus at the University of Frankfurt is one of the Euro-critics of the first hour. In 1997, he had complained with three other professors in the Constitutional Court. ), sees the money and credit creation, one systemic financial failure of the capitalist economy, led to the systemic crises. The increase in the money supply by increasing the coins and reduce their intrinsic value by King Midas (700 BC), provides Hankel as the first example of the critical condition of the credit and money creation. Thus, capitalism can be saved, could not be more money generated by money but by work. The global and national credit would have to "be on a leash" lay.

The “Big Fishermans”.


Saturday, March 20, 2010. The Friday helps me to figure out who exactly are my special friends and which precisely my goals are. The how to react a those ‘goals’ in a way of the step-by-step. The four firemen hit me in my teeth this night. How obvious! Clearly indicating the gap between the Almohads expectations, and the sequent theirs serious bet on this “A PRETO”… At the highest possible International Diplomacy level. To start to arguing that all this is about the money – foolish. It’s the health bill vote (in the US) and the nuclear deal (in April). The ways where better is exposed theirs will is the simple question hammered here for two day in almohads language: “What you want here nigger?” And the neutral observer, like me, only can put out that the “… agenda of Barak Obama does not include a visit to Portugal in November this year…” (of the purpose of General Assembly of NATO). Mean, the “Big Fishermans” like the Botin, Salgado, etc., should be contended with a “ponta pé no cú” in the Bosphorus!, in the best of the “real politics” traditions. I start speak about some special “friends” who have a kind hearts and wise heads. They exist if I not dead yet. But all this set up a demand from me to be more deeper in reflections’ of this strategy. Which potential obstacles, constraints or even barriers could emerge if I leave unprotected and unsecured my “rear”.

A number of governors have said they will mount constitutional challenges to try to exempt their states.

Alrosa grabs Nr1 title as largest producer. Russia's state-owned Alrosa has grabbed the crown from De Beers as the world's largest diamond producer. However, the company releases claims this report contains an aggregate diamond sales result for 2009 of $2,212.6 million. If this includes sales of polished, as well as rough, then it marks a decline of 5.3% on 2008 when Alrosa reports selling $157.6 million worth of polished, and $2,178.8 million of rough. "In spite of the recession in its sector," the communiqué says, "ALROSA managed to preserve jobs and maintain its production levels, and produce in 2009, in the aggregate, 34 m carats of rough diamonds. This enabled the Company to rank first in the world in terms of physical volumes of diamond production." Anglo American Plc publishes diamond output data for De Beers in its annual reports, and De Beers issues carat breakdowns for production at each of its mines worldwide. These show that in 2007 De Beers peaked at almost 50 million carats per annum. In 2009, the total had fallen to just 24.6 million carats, three-quarters of which were mined in Botswana. In 2008, the De Beers total was 48.1 million carats. According to De Beers's balance-sheet for 2009, sales revenues amounted to $3.8 billion, down 44% on 2008. The after-tax bottom line for 2009 was a loss of $31 million, compared to a profit of $224 million the year before.

The Future of the Euro. By Anne Seith. 03/19/2010. Greece's financial difficulties have exposed numerous weaknesses which threaten Europe's common currency. Now, policy makers and economic experts are trying to find ways to stabilize the euro. SPIEGEL ONLINE takes a look at the proposals. French Economics Minister Christine Lagarde seems to be itching for a fight. At the beginning of the week, she triggered indignation in Berlin when she blasted Germany's trade surplus in an interview with the Financial Times. What I called “Buy more Ankara!”.
Competitive Discrepancies. (In Almohads language – “A UZBEK”) The community now consists of countries like Germany and Finland on the one side, with large current account surpluses, and countries like Greece and Portugal on the other, with massive deficits. The latter, unable to keep up with the continent's powerhouse economies, lived on credit for years, partly as a result of low interest rates. Countries with a deficit, she said, ought to reduce it, while those with a trade surplus cannot "stand on only one leg." "For instance, perhaps Germany could reduce its taxes a little to stimulate domestic spending," the minister suggested.
Part 2: Is Europe Laying the Foundation for a Common EU Economic Government?
The name sounds suitably ambitious. European Commission President José Manuel Barroso has come up with a package of economic policy goals to be attained in the next 10 years. It bears the title "Europe 2020." And I told you that Financial Times putting heading From WORLD 9:10am “Barroso wants EU to agree loans for Greece” Commission president says states must agree aid package soon. Are saying to us that he is simply afraid to loose his and the Solana salary.
Part 3: How Can the EU Stability Pact Be Made More Robust?Has the Stability and Growth Pact, which was designed to provide for a strong European common currency, failed? It's hard to say. What is clear, however, is that its implementation has been a disaster. The Maastricht Treaty established clear criteria for budgetary policy in those countries belonging to the common currency zone, one of which was that new, year-on-year borrowing could not exceed 3 percent of GDP, and that a country's total debt could not exceed 60 percent of its economic output.
Part 4: What Should the EU Financial Constitution Look Like? Economic expert Konrad has a different approach to the problem. Instead of asking how to protect a country from bankruptcy, he asks why bankruptcy is such a bad thing. "If all the world's investors tried to maintain a balanced portfolio, that is, put their eggs in various baskets, a Greek bankruptcy would not be overly dramatic," he says. The country itself wouldn't suffer terribly, because, by imposing a moratorium on payments, it could cancel its interest and debt payments, saving a lot of money as a result. The problem, says Konrad, is that "we have investors who make one-sided bets. On the one hand, because everyone else does it, and, on the other hand, because it makes it more likely that other countries will jump in to help out in an emergency."
This "Samaritan problem," says Konrad, explains why a small country like Greece has such an impact on the stability of the euro, and why a country with a population of 11 million, whose economic output is smaller than that of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, is "systemically relevant."
Part 5: Could a European Monetary Fund Help in an Emergency? And where would the money that an EMF would distribute come from? One proposal for an EMF stems from the chief economist of Deutsche Bank, Thomas Mayer, and Daniel Gros, the director of the Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS), a Brussels think thank. They are calling for the payment of contributions by countries that do not abide by the Maastricht debt rules. The countries would be required to pay 1 percent of the difference between their actual and allowed debt level. According to the economists' calculations, this would have enabled an EMF to collect €120 billion ($164 billion) in funds since the beginning of the monetary union. The weakness of this proposal is obvious: Financial penalties would be imposed on governments that are already low on funds. The alternative would be for financial strong euro countries to fund the EMF. That, too, would create problems, with the use of the funds likely becoming subject to strong political pressure.
Another problem is the question of how the EMF can penalize countries that do not abide by its reform rules. Of course, it can impose fines, and of course it can slash credit lines or possible loan guarantees. But that brings us back to the dilemma of financial penalties being imposed on cash-strapped offenders. In an article in the national Sunday newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Schäuble wrote that he wants an "institution that has the experience of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and has similar powers of intervention. The euro zone wants to be able to solve its problems under its own steam." Chancellor Merkel added that an EMF would also have to "regulate the orderly insolvency of a country." So far, so vague.
Part 6: How Likely Is an EMF? There is considerable skepticism about the idea of an EMF. "I don't believe that we will get very far with this form of technocratic regulation," says Kai Konrad of the Max Planck Institute. Klaus Zimmermann, head of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), also believes that it doesn't make much sense to "create yet another naval gazing organization."

The “Nord Butterfly”.



The “Nord Butterfly”. Today 15/03/2010. The last entry I made a week ago. In a day where was known the details of ‘hare jump’ for the Co. Whilst the Serioja was jumping out of 15th floor, (the International Atomic Energy “professional sickness”) the Putin’s shaika-leyka was preparing to sign the construction of 12 nuclear reactors in India. The importance and the “methods” of this ‘coincidence’ lie in the day before, evening before, the night before and the “post-assessment” of interested in using my thoughts forces. Becoming a bit paranoiac and psychologically weary, I even start to think about some kind of a plot mounted in my respect. (Not fully knowing at that time the all “interested details” for the names exposing by me on a regular basis.) Why I’m sure that they not only reed my notes. They, who hit me in the neck with clock-work regularity.) But having a previous experience of know theirs “no a such thing like a free meal” operandum vivendi, - I make several drafts on the way in this respect. Trying to put in one bag all my problems and worries during these days. Such as telephone calls, e-mails (i.e. …”Good day. My name is Michael Roi and I am the Senior HR manager for WTI Company…. . Our company has an opening for a Quality Assurance Manager position. Bla-bla-bla… from the same aria, but another: “…Eng. Viktor, Acaba de receber 5 pontos de moderação. Bla-bla-bla… Com os cumprimentos da equipa do Expresso http://expresso.pt.), was a “self-inflicted” confusion connected with my money, the dreams (in one of which the Willy Lancaster – the “white enough”, from the Earth hit me on my teeth with such force (!), that I lost ‘absolute majority’ of all my teeth… And off course, - the rest of my sleep. The second dream (the shorter, only the 15-20 minutes), was that appears a bunch of ukrainians with visa from UK, (not from EU, - no). They all are from “opposition”. Mean, not the winners of last election, but the (how I know the ways the Elizabeth the II operates!) from Western Ukraine. Clearly stating that THIS FAMILY are sending me to them, for they show me the ‘corners of the house’, than give me a job, which logically mean “подохни” (i.e. die!). (Russia’s – India’s Portland 450 cement). Based on strong possibility that I not giving the possibility of Co (namely to the barroso’s, solana’s, blair’s, etc. Co) carry on to “Rule the Way…”. But where is clearly noted the russian’s “f**** the Queen!”, Almohads f*** them all”, the толстoлобики - “f*** him”, etc. Where I find myself like a Guinea pig, who SHOULD think how they all should proceed in the light of this absolute scandal (i.e. Serioja) and the Default of Greece… Permitting to the Almohads (because of my Portuguese passport) doing what they want with ‘theirs’ Guinea pig. My question to any one who read this, is: ‘What do all organizations, institutions and corporations have in common? And I tell you: - A large number of tedious traditions (like the English breakfast below my kitchen windows, authorized by this old whore), pointless protocols (like Ashay’s “what you do to find the work?”), etc. Without questioning my side who are telling you: - Isn’t it is the time to look at the way I am “interacting” with a PARTICULAR GROUP of people? The America (gringo) has “A PRETO” from my hand. The Europe is “A PRETO” – from my pocket. The c.. Ex-President of Portuguese Republic are buying the Бикфордов шнур (i.e. Detonating cord) “A PRETO” – from my container. The nuclear safety of this Planet (“A PRETO”) – from my ‘orthodoxy’… etc. etc. etc. Should I show you one more skeleton from my closet? Or just content to don’t know how many YOUR rules do I really have to play? How much difference, as a small cog in a big machine, I can really make?

FITCH VOLTA A AMEAÇAR COM CORTE DE 'RATING'. 09/03/10 09:35. A agência internacional fez saber que se a consolidação das contas públicas em Portugal for "insuficiente" poderá baixar a classificação da dívida portuguesa.

O aviso da agência de 'rating', uma das mais influentes no mundo, também acontece na véspera de Portugal realizar uma nova emissão de dívida.

Cyprus police find stolen corpse of ex-president. Tuesday, March 9 07:24 am. Cypriot police have discovered the corpse of former president Tassos Papadopoulos, three months after its macabre theft shocked residents of the Mediterranean island. Police said the corpse, found at a cemetery on the outskirts of the capital, Nicosia, after a tip-off late on Monday, had been identified by family members and subjected to DNA tests. "We have received the DNA test results and the body is that of the late president," police spokesman Michalis Katsounodos told Reuters. Papadopoulos died in December 2008, and his body was stolen last December, a day before the anniversary of his death. Those held responsible for the crime ranged from Balkan crime gangs looking for a ransom to political opponents of the former president, who led Cyprus from 2003 to early 2008. A forceful character, Papadopoulos led the Greek Cypriots to the rejection of a United Nations reunification blueprint for ethnically divided Cyprus in 2004, shortly before Cyprus joined the European Union. The island was split by a Turkish invasion in 1974 triggered by a brief Greek Cypriot coup.

Suicide refugee, Serge Serykh, ‘was member of Russia secret service’. March 9, 2010. The mystery of three refugees who jumped to their deaths from a Glasgow tower block took a dramatic turn yesterday when it emerged that one of them had claimed to be a member of the Russian security services and went on to allege that he had uncovered a plot by the Canadian Government to assassinate the Queen. Serge Serykh, 43, who, along with his wife and stepson, threw himself off a Glasgow tower block, was convinced that if he was not given asylum in Britain his life would be at risk. Reports yesterday suggested the family leapt from the balcony of their flat on Sunday morning either holding hands or joined together by a rope. They apparently used a wardrobe to break through the wire security mesh on the balcony. Last night, when police forensic science tents were removed, all that remained of the incident were three deep indentations in the turf where their bodies landed.


HOW RUSSIA REACT: POLONSKY (FROM “ROYALTIES AND CONCESSIONS” AND THE “ALROSA FIRST IN THE WORLD” – AND WESTERN MEDIA (INTERNET)– DON’T KNOW NOTHING… Note-by-note. Period between the 8-to-15 of March. By the Brussels/Strasburg definition (the one-sided, like the miller-barroso’s “A PRETO”)- the Hassina, a shamushka from Working Links, - are my daughter. The way of Co and others control me. And this is it. Exactly at this point where I arrive in my TORTOROUS journey (by theirs, - “the son of the Barroso” hand) with this difficult, cranky and seriously confused entity. God see if I tried my best to assist this “russian speaking EU” to ‘shelter’ them from all sorts of mayhem, but my efforts have not been appreciated or well received. You see it too, how very naturally, after family of three jump from the 15th floor window, and that stolen kid by the Denmark from russians, the blond guy (EU of c.. of course) of my age make me “gop-stop” at my door, (the IAA we will see more later). During the all previous evening, and the next morning, the Baltic Countries military (with a swedish “pinta” in a way they were a talking), was telling me that the Manchester pensioner – was killed by the “asian” kids gang. Well, the old age – is the majority of EU population. This is the fact. And when the recent created European Spy Agency debuting in this form – is clarifying. More yet, if the barroso’s Uzbek (that same European Energy Policy making the frontier with Iran) don’t stop make the “meetings” at my kitchen window. But come back to my roots. Why I need speak about thing that doesn’t matter to me? Am I with a face of Uzbek?! The silly question for you: - Which was the name of the chemical tanker whose Master was shot in Brazil? The “Portland 450 Cement? No. The name of the chemical tanker, the Master (Captain) of which was almost killed in Salvador de Baia was the “Nord Butterfly”… (Nord Butterfly. IMO 9448310. Flag Denmark Int. Register. Call sign: OYHZ2. Build 2008. DWT 38431.). Sorry my friends, now I bow out. It’s preferable to let someone else manage things with this Almohads. With theirs “de jema” moody and irrational character. It’s too much little ‘profit’ with them. It’s a really make myself sick and exhausted. And its always MONEY. In which of all of my pockets they find them? Who I am, if the British Petroleum, (after the Browne), live by my notes? Am I a Viktor Antonovitch Aliev? It’s obvious that for many years, before this “ground-breaking” successfully finalized businesses (such as the TNK-BP), the traveling goats to any place in Earth (I’m talking here about the 12 nuclear reactors of the Russia-India energy pact), the COP15’s the “save the dolphins” affair, the “eurozone” financial ministers meeting, etc. – I’m feel seriously ill during the long days. For me and my life though, is the Greatest of the Great tricks – is to expect the best, yet prepare for the worst. In everything. Begin with Glasgow and finishing with the Karetny’ Riad. Actually, this “revolutionary” business, again was from my pocket, like the people say: - “What’s goes around, - comes around”… Shame, that my mind isn’t always in a material world. (It’s a professional disease, like silicosis. Maybe because too much poison I breathe?). But in this, (see upwards) deep drilling into the ‘Campos’ and ‘Ca mamu – Almada’ basins, - it’s a good idea to wrangle my finances and prepare (you never know…) for the future. The big news, if the Co bent my head (only russian swine can do this) and then hit in my neck this night! At morning, the russian Financial Times (vedomosti) with a big proud and spoony mouth were writing about how the Polonski (the Jew who don’t pay me yet. What I expect, if this is these swine understanding the Royalties and Concessions?) make $10 million in three days. Good set to place my personal compliments to the Primakov, - the Chamber of Commerce of Russian Federation Chairman… The “Mike” and “Nanny” can do this too! Was same morning when the general theme was “the sons of politicians”, and not strangely that this time – they all use the mature voices (11-12 years old), speaking about Greece Default, in “сын за отца не отвечает” and Evraz-barroso language…My thought was, “Well my rats, the nobody is guilty if you rip-off the your ball by yourself!” Whatever the weather, - it is my dreams… At the next dream same night, I woke up because of the making jump from high severely injured my spine. (And this is the Co – who is mortally in needed to “shorten me up”, make me “close” to the Putin, Potatin, Pinheiro, Barroso, and the rest of Red Dwarfs of debils’ (debilitated) – the sons of politicians’). Only now, the barroso language who was talking. Closely accompanied by the Ukrainians (!?), from AVIVA (i.e. faces) “making the juridical assessment to the injuries inflicted by this ‘almohads’ to me”. Although the appraisal now, consist in the “we just want to acert with your high the high of the Sarkozi. (“This is how we want to be fair with you”) Well, Portugal Telecom and Kyivstar, now is the right time to look for my high in Namib? First, go your balls, second, - we’ll solemnly look at the CNOOC buying the second Argentinean (Bridas, - for you “ври даш”), thirdly, - my “darlings Prime Ministers from Co, - “пидарастёте – поймёте”. And at least, not at last, in four, - you “Independent’s” will be burned with “blue fire”, - count on me.

Danish Master shot in Brazilian port. Very much so connected with “filho hollandes”(‘gop-stop’ and two чухонца talking here) and BP/Andrew “arrangements. Friday, March 12, 2010.

Master now in hospital, no danger to life.

BP to pay Devon $7 bln for fields. Thu Mar 11, 2010 9:53pm GMT. LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - BP (BP.L) will pay $7 billion (4.6 billion pound) to Devon Energy (DVN.N) for assets that will extend its reach into Brazil and bulk up its position in the Gulf of Mexico, as the world's top oil companies look to acquisitions to refill depleting reserves. BP said on Thursday that it will pick up interests in 10 exploration blocks in Brazil, Devon's stake in the Kakskida discovery in the Gulf of Mexico, a portfolio of deepwater exploration acreage in the Gulf of Mexico, and Devon's stake in the BP-operated Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) development in Azerbaijan. BP has also agreed to sell Devon a 50 percent stake in its Kirby oil sands interests in Alberta, Canada, for $500 million and that the two companies would form a venture to develop Kirby. The deal gives BP reserves and highly prospective exploration, mainly in the deep water offshore where it is an industry leader. It follows a planned $4 billion deal by Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) announced last year to buy a stake in an oilfield offshore Ghana as well as a $3 billion bid earlier this week by Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) and PetroChina (0857.HK) for Australia's Arrow Energy (AOE.AX).

India’s ONGC and Russia in energy pact talks. March 11 2010 19:48. India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corp is in talks with Gazprom and Rosneft over taking equity stakes in oil and gas projects in Russia to help cement an energy partnership between New Delhi and Moscow. R.S. Sharma, ONGC chairman, confirmed on Thursday night that talks were under way with the Russian groups. ONGC is also seeking to expand its investments in Africa by developing oilfields in Angola, Nigeria, Sudan and other countries. Mr Bisaria described the talks as being in their early stages. He said India had been greatly encouraged by the state-owned energy company’s overseas expansion, particularly in Russia, which accounts for about 20 per cent of revenues. ONGC took a 20 per cent stake in the Sakhalin 1 project and bought Imperial Energy, a London-listed company most of whose assets were in Russia, for $2.1bn last year.

Exonerated Rio close to $12bn deal with Chinalco. March 16, 2010. Rio Tinto and Chinalco are close to signing a $12 billion (£8 billion) joint venture in Guinea after an official Chinese government report appeared to clear the Anglo-Australian group of blame for breaking off talks with the state-owned miner last year. Both companies are understood to be discussing ways to develop jointly the Simandou iron ore field in Guinea, a region where Beijing’s recent “soft diplomacy” efforts have won Chinese companies considerable local influence. The project requires the agreement of the Chinese and Guinean governments and would, if realised, be one of the largest fields in the world with output of as much as 200 million tonnes of iron ore a year, which is thought to be of a particularly good grade and richer than the metal exported to China from Australia. Rio Tinto has more than a decade of experience in Guinea, but has clashed with the West African nation’s military leadership. China, meanwhile, has recently invested heavily in an oil project there despite actions by the Government last autumn that drew condemnation from human rights groups. The deal has emerged less than a year after the proposed merger between Rio Tinto and Chinalco collapsed following opposition by the Anglo-Australian mining giant’s investors.
The rapprochement between the two natural resources giants follows the completion of an official Chinese “post mortem” report into Rio’s decision to walk away from last year’s $19.5 billion cash injection proposal by Chinalco. The report, said people who have seen the document, appears to exonerate Rio Tinto and accepts that the deal was ultimately scuppered by “ordinary market forces” that sent commodity prices rebounding sooner than expected after the global financial crisis. Rio’s decision to abandon talks with Chinalco last summer brought a humiliating end to what would have been China's biggest overseas investment. The official Chinese report reserves its strongest criticism for China’s own dealmakers, accusing them of naivety and lack of experience. Rather than condemning the Australian miner, the document calls for “introspection” by would-be Chinese dealmakers. The Chinese investigation into the failed Rio-Chinalco deal is thought to have played a modest role in smoothing relations and bringing the companies back to the table. Although Rio itself did not comment on any present negotiations with Chinalco, in the company’s annual report published today, Jan du Plessis, the Rio chairman, makes it clear that ties with the Chinese giant were not irrevocably severed by last year’s controversy. “We deeply regretted the loss of a unique opportunity to establish a strategic partnership that would have fundamentally changed our relationship with our largest customer base,” Mr du Plessis wrote in his message to shareholders. “We will continue to work towards extending our relationship with Chinalco and to pursue business opportunities that may be to our mutual benefit.” Rio Tinto and Chinalco are also understood to be discussing a range of other joint projects aimed at combining Rio’s technological skills with the Chinese giant’s influence in what mining analysts describe as “difficult places”.

The “Big Fishermans”


Saturday, March 20, 2010. The Friday helps me to figure out who exactly are my special friends and which precisely my goals are. The how to react a those ‘goals’ in a way of the step-by-step. The four firemen hit me in my teeth this night. How obvious! Clearly indicating the gap between the Almohads expectations, and the sequent theirs serious bet on this “A PRETO”… At the highest possible International Diplomacy level. To start to arguing that all this is about the money – foolish. It’s the health bill vote (in the US) and the nuclear deal (in April). The ways where better is exposed theirs will is the simple question hammered here for two day in almohads language: “What you want here nigger?” And the neutral observer, like me, only can put out that the “… agenda of Barak Obama does not include a visit to Portugal in November this year…” (of the purpose of General Assembly of NATO). Mean, the “Big Fishermans” like the Botin, Salgado, etc., should be contended with a “ponta pé no cú” in the Bosphorus!, in the best of the “real politics” traditions. I start speak about some special “friends” who have a kind hearts and wise heads. They exist if I not dead yet. But all this set up a demand from me to be more deeper in reflections’ of this strategy. Which potential obstacles, constraints or even barriers could emerge if I leave unprotected and unsecured my “rear”.

Alrosa grabs Nr1 title as largest producer. Russia's state-owned Alrosa has grabbed the crown from De Beers as the world's largest diamond producer. However, the company releases claims this report contains an aggregate diamond sales result for 2009 of $2,212.6 million. If this includes sales of polished, as well as rough, then it marks a decline of 5.3% on 2008 when Alrosa reports selling $157.6 million worth of polished, and $2,178.8 million of rough. "In spite of the recession in its sector," the communiqué says, "ALROSA managed to preserve jobs and maintain its production levels, and produce in 2009, in the aggregate, 34 m carats of rough diamonds. This enabled the Company to rank first in the world in terms of physical volumes of diamond production." Anglo American Plc publishes diamond output data for De Beers in its annual reports, and De Beers issues carat breakdowns for production at each of its mines worldwide. These show that in 2007 De Beers peaked at almost 50 million carats per annum. In 2009, the total had fallen to just 24.6 million carats, three-quarters of which were mined in Botswana. In 2008, the De Beers total was 48.1 million carats. According to De Beers's balance-sheet for 2009, sales revenues amounted to $3.8 billion, down 44% on 2008. The after-tax bottom line for 2009 was a loss of $31 million, compared to a profit of $224 million the year before.

The Future of the Euro. By Anne Seith. 03/19/2010. Greece's financial difficulties have exposed numerous weaknesses which threaten Europe's common currency. Now, policy makers and economic experts are trying to find ways to stabilize the euro. SPIEGEL ONLINE takes a look at the proposals. French Economics Minister Christine Lagarde seems to be itching for a fight. At the beginning of the week, she triggered indignation in Berlin when she blasted Germany's trade surplus in an interview with the Financial Times. What I called “Buy more Ankara!”.
Competitive Discrepancies. (In Almohads language – “A UZBEK”) The community now consists of countries like Germany and Finland on the one side, with large current account surpluses, and countries like Greece and Portugal on the other, with massive deficits. The latter, unable to keep up with the continent's powerhouse economies, lived on credit for years, partly as a result of low interest rates. Countries with a deficit, she said, ought to reduce it, while those with a trade surplus cannot "stand on only one leg." "For instance, perhaps Germany could reduce its taxes a little to stimulate domestic spending," the minister suggested.
Part 2: Is Europe Laying the Foundation for a Common EU Economic Government?
The name sounds suitably ambitious. European Commission President José Manuel Barroso has come up with a package of economic policy goals to be attained in the next 10 years. It bears the title "Europe 2020." And I told you that Financial Times putting heading From WORLD 9:10am “Barroso wants EU to agree loans for Greece” Commission president says states must agree aid package soon. Are saying to us that he is simply afraid to loose his and the Solana salary.
Part 3: How Can the EU Stability Pact Be Made More Robust?Has the Stability and Growth Pact, which was designed to provide for a strong European common currency, failed? It's hard to say. What is clear, however, is that its implementation has been a disaster. The Maastricht Treaty established clear criteria for budgetary policy in those countries belonging to the common currency zone, one of which was that new, year-on-year borrowing could not exceed 3 percent of GDP, and that a country's total debt could not exceed 60 percent of its economic output.
Part 4: What Should the EU Financial Constitution Look Like? Economic expert Konrad has a different approach to the problem. Instead of asking how to protect a country from bankruptcy, he asks why bankruptcy is such a bad thing. "If all the world's investors tried to maintain a balanced portfolio, that is, put their eggs in various baskets, a Greek bankruptcy would not be overly dramatic," he says. The country itself wouldn't suffer terribly, because, by imposing a moratorium on payments, it could cancel its interest and debt payments, saving a lot of money as a result. The problem, says Konrad, is that "we have investors who make one-sided bets. On the one hand, because everyone else does it, and, on the other hand, because it makes it more likely that other countries will jump in to help out in an emergency."
This "Samaritan problem," says Konrad, explains why a small country like Greece has such an impact on the stability of the euro, and why a country with a population of 11 million, whose economic output is smaller than that of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, is "systemically relevant."
Part 5: Could a European Monetary Fund Help in an Emergency? And where would the money that an EMF would distribute come from? One proposal for an EMF stems from the chief economist of Deutsche Bank, Thomas Mayer, and Daniel Gros, the director of the Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS), a Brussels think thank. They are calling for the payment of contributions by countries that do not abide by the Maastricht debt rules. The countries would be required to pay 1 percent of the difference between their actual and allowed debt level. According to the economists' calculations, this would have enabled an EMF to collect €120 billion ($164 billion) in funds since the beginning of the monetary union. The weakness of this proposal is obvious: Financial penalties would be imposed on governments that are already low on funds. The alternative would be for financial strong euro countries to fund the EMF. That, too, would create problems, with the use of the funds likely becoming subject to strong political pressure.
Another problem is the question of how the EMF can penalize countries that do not abide by its reform rules. Of course, it can impose fines, and of course it can slash credit lines or possible loan guarantees. But that brings us back to the dilemma of financial penalties being imposed on cash-strapped offenders. In an article in the national Sunday newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Schäuble wrote that he wants an "institution that has the experience of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and has similar powers of intervention. The euro zone wants to be able to solve its problems under its own steam." Chancellor Merkel added that an EMF would also have to "regulate the orderly insolvency of a country." So far, so vague.
Part 6: How Likely Is an EMF? There is considerable skepticism about the idea of an EMF. "I don't believe that we will get very far with this form of technocratic regulation," says Kai Konrad of the Max Planck Institute. Klaus Zimmermann, head of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), also believes that it doesn't make much sense to "create yet another naval gazing organization."

Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig).



Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig). And start to put unaltered article from Spiegel. In rubric ‘A Prayer from the Death Bed’. 03/17/2010. “Great Britain Stars in Its Own Greek Tragedy.” Greece's budget deficit is impossibly high. But Great Britain's is even higher. Prime Minister Gordon Brown has his work cut out for him in this election year -- and the coming cuts will be painful.
For the darkest hours in the fight against Adolf Hitler, the British Ministry of Information -- which existed for the duration of World War II -- had set aside a special poster. Intended to bring calm to the home front, it depicted the crown of King George VI against a red background, with the words "Keep Calm and Carry On" printed beneath the image. The situation never became sufficiently desperate to justify using the poster, and the millions of copies that had been printed were stored away unused. Ten years ago, a bookseller discovered a single copy and hung it up in his shop. That may well have been the end of the poster's career, but then the country was suddenly faced with multiple crises: terrorist attacks, a banking debacle and, finally, the economic and credit crisis. The bright-red poster now hangs in the offices of directors and members of parliament, in soldiers' barracks and student dormitories. Entire ministries are using it to boost morale, and framed versions of the posters are even said to grace the walls of No. 10 Downing Street and Buckingham Palace. If only keeping calm and carrying on were that easy this time around. The British pound is tottering. The economy finds itself in its worst crisis since 1931, and the country came within a hair's breadth of a deep recession. Speculators are betting against an upturn. Instability in the banking sector has had a more severe impact on government finances in Great Britain than in other industrialized countries. London's budget deficit will amount to £186 billion (€205 billion, or $280 billion) this year -- fully 12.9 percent of gross domestic product.
Than, the Khodorkovsky questions for the Prime Minister. Mr. Khodorkovsky says he wants to ask the Russian premier the following:
* Your prosecutors claim I ran Yukos not as an official chairman, but as the leader of an organised criminal group. When you discussed Yukos's problems with me, with whom did you think you were talking?
* Your prosecutors accuse me of stealing Yukos' production from 1998 to 2003. When you, in 2003, personally congratulated Yukos for its successes in commercial and social activities, is this what you were referring to?
* When you announced to the country in February 2003 that Yukos had no problems with the tax authorities, and that everything had been regulated, what taxes were you talking about, given that your prosecutors say that all the oil had been stolen?
* Your prosecutors say I stole Yukos's oil, while your representatives in Strasbourg [Yukos is suing Russia at the European Court of Human Rights] say Yukos sold its oil, but did not pay enough tax. Which is lying? Why is it Rosneft paid the same per tonne of production, but your tax authorities have no complaints about Rosneft? Than begin speak about what exactly happen with the financial ministers of “eurozone”. Curious how today all of them transform themselves into an ‘invisible spies’. Reason for such reaction lie in the Alternative Investment Fund Management (AIFM) Directive and with the all of theirs (ministers) importance we now must to wait for G-20 to perceive some things useful for “our” Greek Tragedy. This does have nothing new. Only this time, I’m like that “french sprinter”, - half night was with big effort to calm down my heart pit which with this shock (To dream that you receive a shock represents a sudden awakening and new awareness. Tachycardia condition - To dream of an electrocution, signifies that the current course of your actions will lead to disaster, even death. You need to be more aware of your surroundings and those around you.) - was a long hours in Tachycardia Condition. It’s obvious that this World lost the “geographical position” of my heart. The one more reason, my “dear” friends of 500 million consumers,: - “Keep Calm and Carry On”. Not only because I can’t use the BMW, (it’s what exactly the bankers went to tell me in the middle of the night), it’s the hedge funds hedge funds have contributed to asset price inflation and the rapid growth of structured credit markets. The abrupt unwinding of large, leveraged positions in response to tightening credit conditions and investor redemption requests has had a procyclical impact on declining markets and may have impaired market liquidity. Funds of hedge funds have faced serious liquidity problems: they could not liquidate assets quickly
enough to meet investor demands to withdraw cash, leading some funds of hedge funds to suspend or otherwise limit redemptions. The more or less what’s start to happen in the late of 2007. On the other hand, is the other straw in the “policy-makers” and “CV brokers” possession, - the private equity funds. Okay, they not contribute in such extent to increase macro-prudential risks. But for the “Boca the Raton” of G-20 is the same “что в лоб, - что по лбу”.

EU hedge fund curbs delayed after the intervention of Gordon Brown. A dramatic eleventh-hour intervention by Gordon Brown saw controversial EU legislation to curb the powers of hedge funds dropped from the agenda of a top finance ministers meeting on Tuesday.Published: 9:58PM GMT 16 Mar 2010The ECOFIN gathering of finance ministers from the 27 EU states had been due to debate the Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) directive but it was removed from discussion.

Medida válida até 30 de Junho. Bruxelas aprova prorrogação das ajudas estatais portuguesas à banca. A Comissão Europeia aprovou a prorrogação do prazo das ajudas estatais portuguesas ao sistema financeiro, designadamente o mecanismo de apoio à recapitalização das instituições de crédito.“A Comissão considerou que a prorrogação desta medida, inicialmente aprovada em 20 de Maio de 2009, está em conformidade com as suas orientações sobre medidas de apoio aos bancos durante a crise financeira”, adianta a instituição, em comunicado. Em causa está alinha de quatro mil milhões de euros criada pelo Governo para, em caso de necessidade, ajudar os bancos a reforçar os seus fundos próprios, na sequência da crise financeira e do aumento das exigências em termos de rácios de capital – desde o ano passado, que o nível mínimo para o rácio de adequação dos fundos próprios de base (“tier one”) passou a ser de 8%. Até agora, esta linha apenas foi utilizada pelo próprio Estado para concretizar o aumento de capital de mil milhões de euros realizado na Caixa Geral de Depósitos no ano passado.
