On January 19, the EU ministers for Foreign Affairs met to approve a better coordination for the fight against terrorism. Cooperation in information, in the fight against arms trafficking, or to create a record of airline passengers, has become a priority for European leaders after the Paris attacks. This cooperation includes the Balkan States but has probably arrived too late for two main reasons: 1st) the Bosnian war (1992-1995) served to introduce in Europe the Arab volunteers – mujahideen (holy warriors) – who would later act as terrorists. Several of the fanatics who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks, including Osama Bin Laden, had the Bosnian passport. 2nd) Bosnia and Kosovo are currently recruiting centres and, along with Macedonia and Albania, are used as a transit route to...
As we argued in the previous instalment, inadequate investment in productive capital, technological backwardness and the limited organisational changes that have characterised the Spanish economy, as a result of our productive specialisation, have marked its delay in productivity and losses in competitiveness. And while the restructuring of the productive sectors as a consequence of the crisis, with weight losses both in terms of production and in terms of low-skilled labour intensive sectors, have helped to recover part of competitiveness, the fact is that increased productivity, while an important factor that can help to remain competitive in the long run, is just one of the factors that can explain this improvement, especially when you consider that it has been slow. So we must ask...
“La reforma del sistema de financiación autonómica del año 2009 no ha cumplido ninguno de sus objetivos: no es equitativo horizontalmente, mantiene importantes diferencias de financiación por habitante y tampoco cumple con el principio de ordinalidad.”“En la vertiente de la suficiencia, la reforma no ha servido para garantizar la sostenibilidad financiera de las CA, y no ha incorporado elemento alguno que garantizara la suficiencia dinámica del modelo.”“La reforma no ha garantizado la prestación de los servicios básicos del Estado de Bienestar en igualdad de condiciones a todos los ciudadanos, en términos de población ajustada o unidad de necesidad, ni ha corregido las diferencias de financiación entre CA por unidad de necesidad.”
/20.01.15/.- La Fundación FAES explica en este número de Papeles que la reforma del sistema de financiación autonómica realizada en 2009 “no ha cumplido ninguno de los objetivos que pretendía” y no ha servido para garantizar la sostenibilidad financiera de las comunidades autónomas. El primer motivo de este fracaso es que “a diferencia de las reformas anteriores, el sistema de financiación impulsado por el Gobierno Zapatero no estuvo impuesto por la caducidad de un sistema quinquenal de financiación, sino que respondió a circunstancias esencialmente políticas”. Y un segundo motivo es que no se tuvo en cuenta que, al llevarlo a la práctica, ya había empezado la crisis económica. Descargue aquí el documento
The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a radical change driven by the growing weight of biological drugs. From conventional medicines, of chemical origin and simple molecular structure, we are now moving into a new era featuring drugs of organic origin, complex structure and capable of producing very precise therapeutic targets against prior incurable and fatal diseases. These medicines are the result of strong investments in research and demand time and numerous clinical trials for quality, safety and efficacy.
