It has to be compliant with respective legal requirements in place. 4 Risk is a basic part of corporate life that, while not avoidable, is nonetheless manageable. 4 Insurance techniques are key financial tools to protect the assets and liabilities of EADS. IUMI Conference 2006 © EADS N.V. all rights reserved. 8 EADS Insurance Risk Management Organisation 4 In order to know how to deal with insurance techniques it is essential that in-house competence is available. 4 Therefore, a lean organization with clear responsibilities and clear control of the insurance purchased by the group is implemented on HQ-level since 2000/2001 when EADS was founded IUMI Conference 2006 © EADS N.V. all rights reserved. 9 EADS Insurance Risk Management Tasks and responsibilities 4 EADS Insurance Risk Management (“IRM”), centralized at EADS headquarters, is responsible for all corporate insurance activities and related protection for the Group. 4 It includes identification, evaluation, prevention and protection of insurable risks. 4 Insurance techniques are used to protect the assets and liabilities of EADS against financial consequences due to unexpected events. 4 Harmonized insurance policies and standards are in place for all insurance risks underwritten by the Group. IUMI Conference 2006 © EADS N.V. all rights reserved. 10 EADS Insurance Risk Management Tasks and responsibilities (cont.) 4 EADS pursues an insurance risk management strategy that includes operating procedures as well as policies regarding procurement and sales agreements. 4 A systematic review and monitoring procedure of protection systems applicable to all EADS sites is in place, fostering comprehensive and timely identification of risks and related adjustments of insurance coverage. 4 EADS follows a policy of obtaining external insurance coverage for all main and individual risks that can be insured at reasonable rates, on sufficient terms and limits provided by the international insurance markets. IUMI Conference 2006 © EADS N.V. all rights reserved. 11 EADS Insurance Risk Management Tasks and responsibilities (cont.) 4 However, to be more independent from volatilities of the insurance markets, EADS uses the capabilities of a corporate-owned reinsurance captive. 4 The captive is sufficiently capitalized and protected so as to ensure its ability to reimburse claims without limiting the scope of coverage of the original insurance policies and not additionally exposing financial assets of EADS.

    La Storia Dell'alfa Romeo Dal 1910 Ai Giorni Nostri

    LA STORIA DELL’ALFA ROMEO DAL 1910 AI GIORNI NOSTRI La storia dell'Alfa Romeo, Casa automobilistica italiana nota per la produzione di autovetture a carattere sportivo, iniziò il 24 giugno 1910 con la fondazione a Milano dell'ALFA (acronimo di "Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili"). Nel 1918 l'azienda cambiò nome in "Alfa-Romeo" in seguito all'acquisizione del controllo della società da parte dell’industriale napoletano Nicola Romeo. Nel 1933 la proprietà dell'Alfa Romeo passò, attraverso l'IRI (Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale), allo Stato italiano, a causa del forte indebitamento che la società aveva contratto con le banche a partire dal decennio precedente. L'Alfa Romeo continuò a produrre vetture in modo semi artigianale fino all'inizio degli anni cinquanta, quando si trasformò in un'industria automobilistica vera e propria grazie all'introduzione della catena di montaggio nei reparti produttivi. A partire da questo decennio l'Alfa Romeo conobbe una fase di crescente successo che raggiunse il suo culmine negli anni sessanta. 1 Negli anni settanta ci fu invece un'inversione di tendenza che causò una profonda crisi. I conti in rosso portarono poi lo Stato italiano, nel 1986, a vendere la Casa automobilistica al gruppo Fiat. Il rilancio dell'Alfa Romeo avvenne infine nella seconda parte degli anni novanta. L’ALFA Le origini dell'Alfa Romeo hanno ascendenze francesi e napoletane. La genesi del marchio è infatti collegata alla fondazione della Società Italiana Automobili Darracq, che fu costituita a Napoli il 6 aprile 1906. L'avventura imprenditoriale si rivelò però subito irta di difficoltà soprattutto a causa dell'elevata lontananza della città di Napoli dalla Francia.

    The Logistical Chain, Linking Short Sea and Inland Waterways

    THE LOGISTICAL CHAIN, LINKING SHORT SEA AND INLAND WATERWAYS M W Nieuwenhuijs, J J Juenet, C Cornil, Bureau Veritas, France J P Jaunet, C Andreau, Tecnitas, France SUMMARY Most of us are familiar with the Airbus A380 project. Being a truly European company means that the production locations of the aircraft are located in different countries. Transportation of the larger parts is done by ship. The Ro-Ro vessel Ville de Bordeaux delivered by Jinling Shipyard in China to Louis-Dreyfus Armateurs in partnership with Leif Höegh has been built around a whole A380 plane carried in 7 components. A huge cargo space of 120 m long 21 m wide and 11 m clear height without any obstacle or obstruction is reserved for the plane. Bureau Veritas has been actively involved in the design review and new construction in China. The ship sails between Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and France. The Ville de Bordeaux arrives at a floating transfer system at Pauillac, France. Tecnitas was deeply involved in various conceptual, structural, mooring and safety studies. The Breuil, built and designed for inland navigation and short sea operation by De Hoop Lobith Shipyard from the Netherlands by order of Socatra, takes the parts inland up to Langdon, after which they go by road transport to the assembling site in Toulouse. The present paper first describes the logistical chain highlighting the benefit of transport by sea and inland waterways such as the connection between Pauillac and Langdon. In the second part some areas of interest of each project are described. Special attention is given to the impact energy study investigating if the protection of the ancient bridge “Pont de Pierre” would be sufficient to withstand a collision with the Breuil.

Its original mandate was to expertise developed in 1994 and 1996, thanks to strategic develop and manufacture an aircraft engine, the SA acquisitions in space propulsion and civil aircraft MRO 8/75, based on the racing car engine. World War I was (maintenance, repair and operations). The latter came a catalyst stimulating further R&D for aerospace about through the purchase of Alfa Romeo Avio in applications, and the division that was to become Avio Pomigliano d’Arco, situated near Naples. Today transitioned from building engines to constructing Pomigliano is an important production centre for the complete aircrafts. In 1918, the group became known company, with production lines for combustors, as Fiat Aviazione.

    METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF WIRRAL ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORTATION SELECT COMMITTEE 1ST AUGUST 2005 CABINET – 3RD AUGUST 2005 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE/DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE SERVICES PORT OF MOSTYN – CONSULTATION BY THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND WELSH ASSEMBLY GOVERNMENT – JULY 2005 1. Executive Summary 1.1 This report outlines a consultation issued in July jointly by the Environment Agency, Department for Transport and Welsh Assembly Government which proposes a response to applications by the Port of Mostyn to carry out dredging and disposal operations in the Dee Estuary. The consultation proposes that a temporary consent of 2 years be granted to carry out dredging (and disposal) to a depth of two metres. The proposed consent is for less extensive dredging than the Port of Mostyn applied for, but potentially deep enough to facilitate the on-going transhipment of Airbus A380 wings through the Port. 1.2 The consultation documentation requires that responses should be returned to the Welsh Assembly by Thursday 4th August. The report recommends that subject to the comments raised in Section 4 the course of action proposed by the Regulators be supported in principle, but that in view of the short time available for consultation the Council reserves the right to make further submissions if deemed necessary. In addition it is recommended that the Deputy Chief Executive/Director of Corporate Services be given delegated authority to make further representations relating to these matters should this be necessary to safeguard Wirral’s interests. 2. Background 2.1 Members will be aware that the Dee Estuary is protected by designations under the EU Wild Birds Directive as a Special Protection Area (SPA) and is a potential Special Area of Conservation (pSAC) under the EU Habitats Directive (although the latter designation has yet to be notified to the European Commission, UK Government policy is that such sites should be treated as if the designation process had been completed).

    ASPETTI MENO NOTI NELLE PRODUZIONI ALFA ROMEO I VEICOLI INDUSTRIALI Conferenza Di Carlo F. Zampini Salazar Milano, 24 Novembre 1

    ASPETTI MENO NOTI NELLE PRODUZIONI ALFA ROMEO I VEICOLI INDUSTRIALI Conferenza di Carlo F. Zampini Salazar Milano, 24 novembre 1990 Museo Nazionale della Scienza e Tecnologia ALESSANDRO COLOMBO Il termine “automobile” ha abbandonato il suo significato etimologico per diventare sempre di più sinonimo di autovettura. Nella denominazione della nostra Associazione, intendiamo però dare alla parola “automobile ” tutto l’ampio significato che deriva dalla sua etimologia, e cioè “il mezzo che si muove da solo”. In questo quadro, per anni, l’ultima conferenza è stata dedicata alla motocicletta, quest’anno la dedichiamo ai veicoli industriali. Come tema, è stato scelto quello che riguarda i veicoli industriali dell’Alfa Romeo che rappresenta un settore sotto alcuni aspetti ritenuto marginale della produzione della Casa di Arese, ma che invece, come vedremo, ha avuto nel tempo la sua importanza. ZAMPINI SALAZAR Prima di affrontare l’autentico soggetto di questo nostro incontro, mi sia concesso esprimere alcuni pensieri in libertà sull’argomento veicoli industriali in cui, è noto, si suole comprendere in unica dizione gli autoveicoli per il trasporto di merci (o con speciali applicazioni: betoniere, autogrù, autobotti, veicoli antincendio, autocarri soccorso, autonegozi, ecc), e i veicoli per il trasporto collettivo di persone nelle loro diverse classificazioni (urbani, suburbani, interurbani, di linea, da noleggio, da turismo e gran turismo). Purtroppo, l’argomento veicoli industriali, visto con l’occhio dello storico, o più semplicemente dello studioso di “trasporti”, è stato nel passato assai poco oggetto di specifiche o particolareggiate attenzioni e pertanto la letteratura in materia è assai scarsa e lacunosa. Eppure, a rigor di logica, il veicolo da trasporto può vantare una priorità assoluta e incontrovertibile nel mondo dell’automobile, intesa come veicolo che possiede in sé un proprio sistema propulsivo.

    COMUNE DI ARESE Sabato, 17 ottobre 2015 COMUNE DI ARESE Sabato, 17 ottobre 2015 Comune di Arese 16/10/2015 Tiscali Il rinnovato Museo Storico Alfa Romeo 1 16 ottobre 2015 Tiscali Comune di Arese Il rinnovato Museo Storico Alfa Romeo Pubbliredazionale Inaugurato il 18 Dicembre 1976 da un' idea di Giuseppe Luraghi , storico presidente della casa milanese, il museo storico Alfa Romeo è stato aperto al pubblico fino ai primi mesi del 2011. Il 30 Giugno di quest' anno ha però riaperto ufficialmente i battenti con una struttura completamente rinnovata . Una scelta strategica visto l' ottimo successo ottenuto dall' Expo, situato a pochi km dal museo. Dopo la presentazione della nuova Alfa Romeo Giulia (osservabile all' interno della concessionaria del museo), questa riapertura rappresenta un altro step per il rilancio della casa del biscione. Collocato all' interno della struttura Alfa Romeo di Arese, il museo racchiude tutta la storia della casa dal 1910 ad oggi , con le vetture (69 nel nuovo museo contro le 130 di quello precedente) collocate su tre piani. Subito all' entrata è possibile ammirare una Alfa Romeo 4C e si possono consultare diversi libri ed acquistare delle t­shirt o dei cappellini. Una volta oltrepassata l' area delimitata dai tornelli, sulla parete di sinistra si nota la cronologia dei marchi Alfa Romeo a partire dal 1910 (con la presenza solo di "Alfa Milano") fino ad oggi, con l' ultimo svelato in questi mesi. Subito sulla destra invece sono visibili i motori aeronautici di Alfa Romeo Avio, divisione della casa automobilistica. Passando nella zona vera e propria del museo, al primo piano troviamo la storia degli inizi della casa milanese con il primo modello in assoluto : Alfa 24 HP.
