Brussels proposes to make changes in the transport sector

The European Commission has proposed to finish with the gasoline and diesel fuel cars. In the proposal they want to end with conventional fuels by 2050. In this way the transport sector will become more competitive and less polluting.

Siim Kallas, European Commissioner for Transport said, "We can stop depending on oil used for transportation without impairing its efficiency and mobility. "

The targets that had proposed in Brussels are these:
- Reducing in a 40% the emissions of the maritime transport.
- Obtaining the reduction of 40% on carbon dioxide of the fuels used in the aviation.
- Getting that the half of the people that uses the car for going to short distances change to the public transport.
These measures will reduce by 60% of contaminant emissions compared to 1990. In addition the European Commission wants to achieve a single European transport area by 2050.

Greenpeace said that a reduction in use of cars does not solve anything, if they do not offer solution.

Another idea of European Commission is to triplicate the size of the European network of high-speed rail by 2030. They calculated that we can reduce in a 50% the fuel consumption by 2030 and stop completely in 2050. Accordingly, it would support the use of electric cars.

The European Commission wants to promote a great improvement of roads connecting between airports and train stations. But all these reforms meant an investment of 1.5 billion euros.

CCOO and UGT have called stoppages partial telemarketing companies, which employs about 6,000 people in Castilla y León, in order to force the collective bargaining agreement, which expired in late 2009.Union representation has prepared a program stops 15 minutes in each of the three shifts on Mondays and Wednesdays from March 21.
The proposal by the employer, that has not been moved or mediated by the state labor relations service (SIMA) was to make the representation of employees agree to change terms of the agreement that made it difficult trying despido.De so that all and female employees may be dismissed with the minimum compensation of 20 days referred to in the recent labor reform. The platform presented by CC.OO. tried to keep the current working conditions and to ensure wage revision clause ensuring purchasing power of some workers who come to have wages of 800 euros per month.
The union has had to go to court once and for companies to recognize the increase of 2.2 percent agreed in the agreement for 2009. Since then the meager wages of workers has not moved since the ACCE employer refuses a reasonable negotiation.CCOO union representation denies the reasons argued by the employer to keep improving the working conditions of workers by pointing out the culpability of the companies that hire telemarketing services, like banking, insurance, government, energy and telecommunications companies. According to the employer, the tough trading conditions with which contract their services entail losses prevent them from improving the collective agreement, which denied the workers' representatives, said Committees.

The merger of the Basque savings banks has become an impasse

The economic outlook is in full swing. It is a process of conversion of Spanish savings banks. While Basque banks still have not reached an agreement. The merger of BBK, Caja Vital and Kutxa has entered a phase of impasse. After having the possibility of full integration, trading has been cooled without clarification. Although the 3 entities will soon have to choose the way to gain size and become more competitive.

While the rest of Spanish savings banks are moving at high speed due to the decree of recapitalization of financial institutions. Basque institutions have leading positions in credit. But they have not finished the process of merging.

It is the third attempt at integration that result swamped. Basque banks can not afford to sit back, because other banks are being strengthened.

At the moment nothing is known. In the coming weeks should reach a conclusion. Otherwise the negotiations could last until June. Although political representatives want an answer immediately. Socialists understand that the merger can not wait any more, because the financial market "is a tsunami that moves and / or you take size, muscle size, or if not, you're lost." They also say that if Kutxa continues blocking the merger of three, will become a fusion of two.

But if the process is too long, BBK has already warned he will not resign to resort to more purchases to gain size, a move that definitely dynamite the merger of three, as Kutxa have the same right to do the same.

TOLEDANO TAKES OVER


This is the man who Galliano sent to the galleys. Passionate about the bulls, the president of Dior, of Sephardic origin, feels 'the master' of luxury.

The Dior catwalk again be occupied. With John Galliano held at a clinic in the Arizona desert, where he tries to combat his alcoholism and other addictions, Sidney Toledano has taken over the designer. The president of the 'maison' moved last week a strong message to the fashion industry to make it clear who is boss in this business and cut the eccentricities of the estate workers, by 'cool' they are. Nonsense, the fair. "Everyone who comes to Dior must have the humility to see how the shops and the catwalk," he warned. Accustomed to the circus productions of Gibraltar, the mathematician of Sephardic origin was postulated as the king of the track.
The weight of Dior, a brand that threatened to ruin the mid-eighties, in the fabric of LVMH is tremendous. Gallic group raced last year the crisis with a turnover of 20,000 million euros and a profit of 3,000 million. The 'big boss' has a lot to do with the recent conquest of the Chinese market. "My eyes are detectors of all that can go wrong," he stresses. Since taking the reins in 1998, is determined to "protect culture" and how "unique" in that Dior - "a religion in which you have to believe" - ​​should be presented to the world
When Bernard Arnault, owner of the biggest global luxury group, laid eyes on him, ran the company Toledano Lancel bags. Its first task was precisely to develop the area for bags, gear essential for the most exclusive brands. "With these cuts there are not problems of size. Are less subject to fashion than clothes or shoes and are cheaper than a dress, "he argues.
Born in Casablanca and the son of a Moroccan who was allied to the Spanish Republican side, Toledano nailed with its strategy of manufacturing all the products of the legendary French house and stop licensing
The secret of his character is funny in its origins, he has been dancing flamenco with Galliano. Without naming the Moroccan executive dismissed the significance of this loss and said that the greatness and "Dior heart lies in 'les petites mains'' this army of anonymous workers' white coats' away from the spotlight and made ​​by craftsmen and seamstresses.
It is true that even the "intolerable" racist incident, the relationship was almost idyllic. Shared "a Spanish mentality," his passion for bullfighting - "sometimes visualize the bullfighters and I think I've been brought up well" - and his desire to "fight." A Toledano, who likes to go to the Bernabeu to watch Real Madrid matches, it passes through Spain, he drooled increasingly coming parades. Last night he sat in the studio to watch Galliano. I had the feeling of facing a "filmmaker or a painter." An artist, in his opinion, "very professional, shy but not arrogant" and a "single eye" that allows you to see beauty where others see nothing. "Dior is the sun ', finished last summer.
They were "perfect match" and had found a "'feeling'" that "do not learn in Cambridge or Harvard," admits the president, life taught him to "look." With only 18 arrived in France and began to set in Paris, which allowed him to develop a greater sensitivity to fashion. Why did not hesitate to dispense with Galliano. "When everything goes wrong, I'm more optimistic than anyone. After the blue sky, dark clouds coming, "prophesies. When they arrive, "I'll be ready." Because something is 'the master' of Dior.

All financial institutions are eligible Basque capital

There were no surprises. As expected, the Basque financial institutions meet the capital requirements set by the central government, so they will not have to resort to raising funds for any of the routes covered by the Royal Decree of Recapitalization recently approved by the Executive.
The Bank of Spain announced yesterday the list of banks and banks have to strengthen their capital to achieve the expected ratio. A list that had raised much expectation, although in the case of the Basque Country left well enough alone. That is, Kutxa, BBK Caja Vital and not have to be recapitalized. Nor should it Iparkutxa Caja Laboral, BBVA, Banco Guipuzcoano Bankoa and integrated in Sabadell.
For Kutxa and BBK, the requirement is 10% to not be listed and relying more than 20% to wholesale markets. However, Caja Vital will set a ratio of 8%, precisely because he justified the wholesale market leverage of 18.18%. However, as explained yesterday the entity Alava, the box comfortably exceeded this requirement, since the Bank of Spain assigned a principal of 810 million, representing a ratio of 13.13% over risk-weighted assets.
A Kutxa, the supervising agency recognized a starting capital of 1,976 million and BBK, which will include the purchase of Cajasur of 3.604 million. Neither did the public entities that throws the capital ratio, as the Bank of Spain merely states that meet the required 10%.

Galliano for Dior glares at her "I love Hitler"


"People like you should be dead. Your mother, father, all in the gas chamber"

These are the words that have made the fashion house Christian Dior is living a conjunctural moment, John Galliano, the star of the fashion world, is facing legal charges and is outside the firm.

The avalanche of comments were swift, as is the case with Natalie Portman who is Jewish and strongly criticized the designer, stating: "I am deeply shocked and upset by the video of the comments of John Galliano", to which he added did not want be connected in any way with the designer, why to wait to know the course that will take the advertising contract of the celebrated Oscar winner with the firm, as the image of Dior Cherie.

Outside the costs of lawyers who can bring the popular disgust with this unfortunate incident will affect economically to the brand and the bad publicity that results in sales of the collection is coming, says specialist in fashion, Fashion Director of Radicals, Catherine Villota, but in speaking of the fashion house concludes that "it is not viable to be destroyed by the incident.'s legacy is very powerful Dior and Galliano before".

For its part, Izi Grinberg, a respected member of the Jewish community says the fact that "The House of Dior should not wash their hands now, it's amazing that such a prestigious brand director was unaware of the profile of Fashion. The world does not need be given the title 'genius' to anyone who admires Hitler. "
Although it is a difficult case of mixed feelings where passion for fashion as a means of expression is embodied in a controversial character and confronts the absolute rejection of anti-Semitism in any form of expression, only one question remains to be done, could it be that the Galliano reputation can be saved thanks to his contribution to the world of fashion and glamor, exempting the social rejection?, so only time will tell us.
