Half of young basque people have lost their jobs during the crisis
The OECD confirmed the double speed occurring at the start of the crisis. As the economy begins to return to positive numbers or not so worrisome, although the signals are weak, refuses employment and unemployment estimates will continue at high levels until 2011. In fact, the report comfirms that half of young people under 25 years have lost their jobs during the past year in the Basque Country.
The new economic forecast from the OECD, who met yesteday in Paris, confirmed the two speeds that are occurring across the board at the start of the crisis. As the economy starts a "shy progress" to get closer to positive data.

TELEFONICA WINS BY 1,9% LOWER, WEIGTHED DOWN BY THE SPANISH MARKET
The deterioration of the domestic market is taking its toll on Telefonica, which saw its net profit decreased by 1,9% in the first quarter of 2011, to 1,624 million euros. The Spanish subsidiary of Telefonica dogged another quarter results saw their incomes fall by 5,6% and decreased its EBITDA (gross operating result) of 10,6%.
However, group turnover increased by 10,7% to 15.435 million, up 1,4% in comparable terms, discounting the effect of the purchase of all of Brazil's Vivo and the evolution of currencies.
In this sense, good performance in Latin America, whose recenues grew 26% (5,7% in comparable terms) and to a lesser extent, in Europe, which grew revenue by 8,4% (2,4% comparable) compensated for the decline in Spain. As a result, the Group EBITDA increased by 9% to 5.574 million euros, but fell 1% to comparable effect.

Discovered in the Basque Country: 7,500 previously 'missing' jobless
The Basque Government has detected 7,500 more people than previous thought who were registered unemployed in the autonomous community's previous job placement service, Langai.
The Basque Vice-councilor for Employment, Javier Ruiz, and the Director General of the current employment service Lanbide, Javier Ramos, revealed the finding during a press conference given on Wednesday.
Following the clearance of lists passed from the former to the current service, the Employment Department, directed by Gemma Zabaleta, discovered that not all the unemployed people signed up to Langai, which operated between 1996 and 2010, had been passed on to the (national unemployment service) INEM.
Specifically, a total of 7,500 people who were on the list of jobless at Langai did not feature on INEM's list, despite the former agency allegedly sending them frequent updates.
With this additional data, the number of people in the Basque Country registered as unemployed goes up from 145,456 to 152,956, the equivalent in percentage of a rise from 10.89% to 11.4%.

COMENIUS:GOEM: BELFAST: 2nd day of the meeting
We woke up very early as always and went to School. The second day task was to work in the Phrasebook we have already started in Zubiri. The groups were mixed and we had to complete the booklet. The topics were different for each group: For instance: Directions, weather, greetings, working interview… We had to write common phases in different languages. Later on, each group made the cover of the booklet and decided which one was the best. Congratulation to Xabi, the cover Xabi's group made was the best. The next task was to perform the sentences but in our partner's language. Would you like to listen to our partners speaking in Basque?
In the afternoon we went to pirate mini golf it was designed with special effects at the course including firing cannons, spitting totem poles... . It was amazing.
