Coisas que o Presidente deveria mesmo saber - Opinião. Fico a olhar para as notícias mais relevantes da última semana. Não, não estou falar da reeleição como líder do PSD de Pedro Passos Coelho, com 95,5% dos votos (ainda se queixam dos congressos comunistas!). Vamos lá... 1 - O Governo autoriza a TAP e a Caixa Geral de Depósitos a manterem salários, ao contrário das reduções impostas às outras empresas públicas. ANA, NAV, CTT e RTP também pediram para ficar fora dos cortes salariais. Miguel Relvas diz que são apenas "adaptações". 2 - A equipa de António Borges que trata das privatizações custa 25 mil euros por mês. 3 - O ministro da Economia é, numa publicidade na rádio, o dos "pastéis do Álvaro". 4 - A redução da base das Lajes ameaça a economia dos Açores, diz o Governo Regional. 5 - Erros no IMI: o fisco está a receber milhares de reclamações contra as avaliações de imóveis, consideradas abusivas e feitas em cima de matrizes erradas. 7 - A gasolina custa 1 euro e 71. 9 - O Ministério Público investiga os rendimentos de antigos governantes.
Obvious. OCDE STATS. The series on annual hours actually worked per person in total employment presented in this table for all 34 OECD countries are consistent with the series retained for the calculation of productivity measures in the OECD Productivity database (www.oecd.org/statistics/productivity/compendium). However, there may be some differences for some countries given that the main purpose of the latter database is to report data series on labour input (i.e. total hours worked) and also because the updating of databases occur at different moments of the year. Hours Hours actually worked per person in employment are according to National Accounts concepts for 18 countries: Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law, Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations, Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms, Article 1.
Article 2. Article 3. Bizarre Libyan Muammar Gaddafi Postage Stamps. Onde estamos. A UE é agora como um archeiro que descobre que já não tem flechas na aljava. Qualquer pessoa com uma noção de história, e que olhe para a União Europeia agora, tem razões para estar receoso. Enfrentamos uma tripla crise: económica e social em alguns países da zona euro, na sequência da subida em espiral das taxas de juro da sua dívida; em segundo lugar, temos a insolvência não-assumida em bancos da Europa central (só a nova diretora do FMI pôs o dedo na ferida num discurso recente, pois pode agora dizer em voz alta aquilo que calava antes, como ministra das finanças da França); por último, mas não menos importante, temos a quase total paralisia política no seio da União.
Vou tentar ser cauteloso: estas três coisas juntas não costumam dar bom resultado. Uma bancarrota da Grécia, cada vez mais possível, desencadeará o pagamento dos famosos credit default swaps sobre a sua dívida. O que acontecerá agora eles não sabem — e isso vê-se-lhes na cara.

At Crossroads: Iceland's Defense and Security Relations, 1940-2011 August 18, 2011 | Einar Benediktsson Introduction It is a pleasure to introduce this very interesting and relevant paper written by my colleague and friend, Ambassador Einar Benediktsson. In this paper, Ambassador Benediktsson looks at security policy from the standpoint of the totality of Icelandic national security as distinct from a single portion of it.
His tough-mindedness, his extensive knowledge of security issues, and his remarkable refinement in dealing with political matters make him an invaluable commentator on Iceland's security policy. Military bases are no longer an issue. The current pace of events in Iceland has caused a problem which will confound Icelandic policymakers for years to come — how to best manage the independence and sovereignty question.
How does Iceland deal with the ongoing interests of the United States? Róbert Trausti Árnason A Brief Historical Note For Iceland, the 1930s were traumatic. What the papers won’t say. Let’s try a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that BP threw an extravagant party, with oysters and expensive champagne. Let’s imagine that Britain’s most senior politicians were there — including the Prime Minister and his chief spin doctor. And now let’s imagine that BP was the subject of two separate police investigations, that key BP executives had already been arrested, that further such arrests were likely, and that the chief executive was heavily implicated.
Let’s take this mental experiment a stage further: BP’s chief executive had refused to appear before a Commons enquiry, while MPs who sought to call the company to account were claiming to have been threatened. Meanwhile, BP was paying what looked like hush money to silence people it had wronged, thereby preventing embarrassing information entering the public domain. And now let’s stretch probability way beyond breaking point. Instead, until this week there has been almost nothing, save for a lonely campaign by the Guardian. Bitaites. Tue, 07/05/2011 | Co.Design. The truth about the eurozone crisis. Merkel and Sarkozy did not save the peripheral countries, they saved their banking structures The political price was heavy for the German Free Democratic Party, which urged people a couple of days prior to the state election, in Berlin on September 18, to "think openly" about an "orderly Greek insolvency".
Berliner voters rejected the anti-European gamble of FDP chairman and Economics Minister Philipp Rösler and sent the party to its worst election results of the year– with just 1.9 per cent of the vote. The FDP failed for the third time, in 2011, to gain the 5 per cent hurdle to enter state parliament. Having already dropped to around 2 per cent in the elections in Bremen and Mecklenburg –Vorpommern in May and September this year, the FDP tried to gamble on the strong feelings of German voters against any further bail-outs of indebted peripheral countries.
