/24.02.15/.- The Court of Auditors has approved with no exception the accounts of the Foundation FAES for the 2013 fiscal year.

Before the performance of apparent productivity of labour, which in some countries, including Spain, is enhanced by a simple economic downturn, one could also wonder about Total Factor Productivity (TFP), also called Multifactor Productivity, which measures the technological efficiency of the economy. A positive development would send signals that the improvement of competitiveness could be sustainable in the long term.
A few days ago, Lord Smith of Kelvin presented the report which had been appointed to him after the historic referendum held on September 18 in Scotland. Just over 52% of the Scottish population voted against independence, but they did so after the commitment to increase the level of self-government of the Scottish Parliament was announced, assumed by the three main UK parties. The report of the Smith Commission aims to respond to that promise and is signed by the five main Scottish parties: nationalists, Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrats and Greens. Its content should not sound too new to any Spanish reader and, in many respects, it stays far from the powers already assumed by our Autonomous Communities.

The right-wing opposition candidate won 54% of the vote against 46% for Victor Ponta, outgoing Prime Minister and chair of the Social Democratic Party (PSD). The difference in votes between the two men (8 percentage points) is unusual in Romania where presidential elections are often very tightly run.
A broad analysis of Brexit should include three interconnected dimensions: a crisis of a legal-constitutional nature, a crisis of parties and political representativeness, and a third socio-economic dimension. Thus, the British are facing a process of constitutional readjustment that aligns their institutions with a different political, economic and cultural reality; and they are doing so in an intense debate, exposed to the light and inelegant.
The groundbreaking innovation in service delivery progresses at a lightning speed and the current technology, not the future technology but the one that already exists, makes possible to share knowledge about goods and services to exchange them in a more efficient way. Rocio Albert, asks to establish new “game” rules for everyone, the reason is that the digital transformation has turned them upside down in such a way that the existent rules make no sense.
