  • Opening Statement, Lynne Embleton, CEO, Aer Lingus
    Supplemental Aer Lingus Opening Statement to Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications Committee – 22nd June 2021 Introduction Thank you for the opportunity to engage - once again - with the Transport and Communications committee. I will assume you have read the Aer Lingus opening statement which was originally due to be delivered on 2nd June. On this basis I won’t read that statement but everything in it still stands. I would however like to briefly supplement it to highlight some specific issues that need to be addressed urgently. Stobart Stobart Air informed Aer Lingus on 11th June that they were ceasing to trade with immediate effect resulting in the cancellation of all Aer Lingus Regional flights operated by Stobart Air. Stobart attributed this decision to the continuing impact of the pandemic which has resulted in almost no flying since March 2020. Aer Lingus stepped in immediately to operate six routes until at least the end of August and arranged for BA City Flyer to operate four of the routes. The provision of this replacement schedule has ensured that all impacted customers due to travel in the immediate term were offered alternative travel arrangements. Aer Lingus also confirmed that we are ready to operate the Dublin / Kerry route, subject to an appropriate PSO arrangement being put in place and that we are actively exploring options that would enable the provision of a Dublin / Donegal service. Aer Lingus and other key stakeholders in the aviation sector have consistently warned that Ireland’s 15-month long implementation of the most restrictive travel policies in Europe without sector specific supports being provided, represented a critical risk to aviation jobs and to connectivity.

Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Economics in Osijek E-mail: [email protected] POSSIBILITIES OF APPLYING MARKOWITZ PORTFOLIO THEORY ON THE CROATIAN CAPITAL... MARKOWITZ PORTFOLIO THEORY ON THE CROATIAN POSSIBILITIES OF APPLYING Abstract In order to achieve the maximum possible profit by taking the lowest possible risk, investors build a stock portfolio consisting of a specific number of stocks which, according to the principle of diversification, significantly reduce the risk of loss. To build a portfolio, in developed capital markets investors have used the Markowitz portfolio optimization model for many years that enables us to find an optimal risk-return trade-off by selecting certain stock combinations. Despite the development of the Zagreb Stock Exchange, i.e., the central trading venue in the Republic of Croatia, the Croatian capital market is still under- developed. It is characterized by numerous shortcomings such as low liquidity, lack of transparency, high stock price volatility and insufficient traffic. Accord- ingly, the aim of this paper is to provide an insight into the functioning of the Dubravka Pekanov Starčević • Ana Zrnić • Tamara Jakšić: Dubravka Pekanov Starčević • Ana Zrnić Tamara 520 Croatian capital market and to examine the possibility of building an optimal stock portfolio by using the Markowitz model.

A key to the apparent mystery may be the unusual serenity of the private banks. Indeed, it is now suspected that the entire operation against Rumasa was cooked up between the top private banks, in particular Banesto, Bilbao, Central, and Hispanoamericano, and Mariano Rubio, deputy governor of the Bank of Spain since 1965 and architect of the monetarist The real scandal on takeover of the country's finances. The profile of these top banks is highly interesting. Spain's economic scene Investments abroad-otherWise known as capital flight­ doubled in 1982 relative to 1981.
