On the one hand, the European in ternal market opened up for Liechtenstein companies, and on the other hand, Liechtenstein thereby committed itself to considering European regulations and incorporating them into national law. This was particularly true for the Liechtenstein financial centre, and had wide-ranging consequences for its stakeholders. The Liechtenstein financial centre has sound foundations, is well- regulated and independently supervised. Strict statutory provisions and rules to combat money laundering, governing cross-border tax offences and terrorist financing guarantee the H. S. H. Prince Michael stability and security of the financial centre. Their adherence of Liechtenstein is safeguarded by an independent and strong Financial Market Chairman of the Board of Authority. Liechtenstein’s commitment to OECD standards on Directors of Liechtenstein transparency and exchange of information in tax matters enables Finance e. V. financial centre players to develop fully their core competencies in long-term, cross-border wealth issues in the interests of their clients. In particular during uncertain times.

  • LIECHTENSTEIN the 341 © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Malbun Triesenberg Schloss Vaduz Trail LANGUAGE: GERMAN LANGUAGE: „ Fürstensteig
    © Lonely Planet Publications 341 Liechtenstein If Liechtenstein didn’t exist, someone would have invented it. A tiny mountain principality governed by an iron-willed monarch in the heart of 21st-century Europe, it certainly has novelty value. Only 25km long by 12km wide (at its broadest point) – just larger than Man- hattan – Liechtenstein doesn’t have an international airport, and access from Switzerland is by local bus. However, the country is a rich banking state and, we are told, the world’s largest exporter of false teeth. Liechtensteiners sing German lyrics to the tune of God Save the Queen in their national anthem and they sure hope the Lord preserves their royals. Head of state Prince Hans Adam II and his son, Crown Prince Alois, have constitutional powers unmatched in modern Europe but most locals accept this situation gladly, as their monarchs’ business nous and, perhaps also, tourist appeal, help keep this landlocked sliver of a micro-nation extremely prosperous. Most come to Liechtenstein just to say they’ve been, and tour buses disgorge day- trippers in search of souvenir passport stamps. If you’re going to make the effort to come this way, however, it’s pointless not to venture further, even briefly. With friendly locals and magnificent views, the place comes into its own away from soulless Vaduz. In fact, the more you read about Fürstentum Liechtenstein (FL) the easier it is to see it as the model for Ruritania – the mythical kingdom conjured up in fiction as diverse as The Prisoner of Zenda and Evelyn Waugh’s Vile Bodies.

The balance of power between the various parties remained virtually unchanged, enabling the coalition government headed by the FBP to continue its work. While the difficult work of the past four years, which involved necessary cuts, was not universally well-received, it was however accepted in overall terms. Nevertheless, we safely pi- loted our ship of state through a challenging period, and this was recognised by voters when they confirmed the parliamentary majorities. The new legislative period will be marked by an im- portant anniversary. The Principality of Liechtenstein will be celebrating its 300th anniversary in 2019.

  • Handout to the Poster Foehn Verification with the COSMO Model
    Working Group Foehn-Research Rhine Valley/Lake Constance (AGF) ICAM 2007 K. Burri, B. Dürr, Th. Gutermann, A. Neururer, R. Werner; E. Zala (MeteoSwiss) Handout to the Poster Foehn Verification with the COSMO Model The working group Foehn-Research Rhine Valley/Lake Constance (AGF) was formed by the meteorological services of Germany, Austria and Switzerland to study the Foehn in the Rhine Valley and to improve the Foehn forecast (also gale warning) for the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance. AGF is gathering meteorological data in the Rhine Valley since 1980s. During this time several case studies had been made and 1999 a paper was published (MeteoSwiss) about a special Foehn case in April 1993. The Foehn Case of the 8th December 2006 The number of operational automatic surface stations in the upper Rhine Valley and Lake Constance region has considerably increased since MAP (1999), and 61 sites (46 of them are shown on the map below) are now available for validation purposes. In this case study forecasts and analyses of the spatial and temporal Foehn pattern from the COSMO-2 NWP model at MeteoSwiss with 2.2km spatial resolution are compared to different surface site based Foehn analyses on 8th of December 2006. Temperature and wind speed forecasts and analyses from COSMO were compared to real- time temperature analyses from INCA (Integrated Nowcasting through Comprehensive Analysis) and to surface based temperature and wind speed analyses compiled by AGF. As not all data sources were available for the same time, a 3h interval (11–13 UTC) was chosen, where the Foehn pattern and magnitude was quasi-stationary.

Es sind Arten, die natürlicherweise in Liechtenstein nicht vorkommen würden, die aber mit Hilfe des Menschen den Weg hierher gefunden haben und heute in der freien Wildbahn angetroffen werden können. Seit Beginn der Besiedlung des Rheintales hat der Mensch auf die Zusammensetzung der hier vorkommenden Tier- und Pflanzenarten eingewirkt. Er hat durch die Art der Landnut- zung die Rahmenbedingungen für die ursprünglich vorkom- menden Arten verändert und damit ihre Häufigkeit beein- flusst.

  • Ruggell: Some Impressions About Us Our Townhall
    Welcome to Ruggell: some impressions about us Our townhall Twelve employees are working there in eight full-time and four part-time jobs. Overall, about 40 people are working for our local community. We are currently training three apprentices. 2 The meeting of the municipal council will be held every three weeks in the townhall. The municipal council consists of nine members. The mayoress and vize-mayor included. 3 Ruggell is the northernmost community in Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein consists of eleven local communities with over 37‘000 inhabitants. While Liechtenstein is largerly known as a mountainous country, Ruggell is largely flat and is situated along the Rhine River, where it meets the international borders of Switzerland and Austria. Because of its flat topography, Ruggell is very often called «Fahrraddorf» (cycle village). One day in the year (first Sunday in May), the streets in Ruggell and surrounding areas are closed for the motorised transport - only cyclists, inline skaters and pedestrians are allowed in this zone. This event is called „slowUp“. Ruggell – active and attractive place to live for everyone. Population: 2'158 Altitude: 433 meters above the sea Area: 7.378 km² 7 Ruggell – family village with many playgrounds in all areas8. Ruggell – surrounded by the beauty and power of nature. The Ruggeller Riet Nature Reserve is a haven of peace and tranquility on the valley floor. The peat-rich Ruggeller Riet Nature Reserve covers an area of 90 hectares in the northernmost region of Liechtenstein. Its rich variety of local fauna and, in particular, flora makes it a fascinating region - perfect for nature lovers.
