These contemporary trends have an impact not only on operational costs, but also on real estate and labour markets. Companies’ cost sensitivity supports the decision to move part of the business i.e. back- or mid-office to cost-effective countries. This trend has boosted the development of the Business Services (BPO, SSC, R&D & ITO) and the CEE region, with its well educated workforce and competitive cost base, is one of the main beneficiaries. The aim of this report is to present the whole region for the benefit of foreign investors in the most comprehensive way. 2 3 © 2017 CBRE | BUSINESS SERVICES DESTINATIONS IN CENTRAL EUROPE CE REGION Although, the term ’Central Europe’ has several meanings across different industries, CBRE includes the following countries for the purposes of our report. Tallinn Poland Czech Republic Romania Hungary Slovakia Estonia Latvia Lithuania Riga The above markets are the main destinations for the Business Services Sector, which looks for well qualified staff, employment cost savings and good quality office space. Moreover, membership of the EU and stabilized political Kaunas Vilnius conditions are also essential factors for newcomers. The main purpose of our report is to present briefly every country Tri-City and the whole region in a comparable way. We hope that our study will encourage foreign investors to establish their businesses in the CE area. Warsaw Wroclaw Prague Krakow Iasi Bratislava Debrecen Brno Bucharest Budapest Cluj-Napoca “We obviously have seen over recent years a huge amount of outsourcing moving from Western Europe to CEE. Some have feared that this process might gradually come to an end. However, the reality is that the speed and amount of outsourcing seems to be ever increasing all and there is definitely no end in sight yet. In some areas of CEE some have expected labour shortage to become a problem for BSS. But again we have been surprised by the mobility of young people to move to locations where interesting jobs Andreas Ridder are being offered. Therefore BSS should remain a big force for CEE over the CBRE, Head of CEE years to come.” 4 5 © 2017 CBRE | BUSINESS SERVICES DESTINATIONS IN CENTRAL EUROPE CE SNAPSHOT SUMMARY BSS CENTRES IN CE ECONOMY There are more than 1,400 centres in the CEE region, with the majority of them located in Poland – more than 900 Inflation Rate (Monthly - Feb. 2017) 0.1% - 0.8% centres.

HCV disease burden and the impact of new potent direct acting antivirals (DAAs) in the Czech Republic are unknown. Methods: Using a modelling framework, HCV disease progression in the Czech Republic was predicted to 2030 under the current standard of care treatment structure. In addition, two strategies to reduce the future burden of HCV infection were modelled: an incremental increase in treatment annually and WHO targets. Results: The number of viremic infected individuals in the Czech Republic is estimated to peak in 2026 (n = 55,130) and to decline by 0.5% by 2030 (n = 54,840). The number of individuals with compensated cirrhosis (n = 1,400), decompensated cirrhosis (n = 80), HCC (n = 70), and liver- related deaths (n = 60) is estimated to more than double by 2030.

    CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 Cultural relations are the glue that holds alliances together. The geopolitics of the 21st century mean we need to see a revival of cultural diplomacy. China and India are already expanding their external cultural policies. Despite Europe‘s huge cultural diversity, the EU has still not developed an adequate cultural strategy for its foreign policy. The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) provides an opportunity to tighten up and co-ordinate the EU‘s existing cultural foreign policy. In this edition of the Culture Report, 30 authors from 20 different countries examine what this all means.

  • New Directions in Cultural Diplomacy
    This is an advance copy of an essay to be published in 2010 by Real Instituto Elcano, Madrid, in a collection entitled “Cultura y Proyección Exterior: Nuevos Valores y Estrategias de Acción”. It is not to be reproduced or circulated without the approval of the author. New Directions Steve Green1 William Gibson’s frequently quoted statement “the future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed”, applies to cultural diplomacy. The new directions promise to usher in a transformation of cultural diplomacy. They will add new strands of activity, lead to a re-assessment of existing ways of operating and introduce new items to the cultural diplomacy toolkit. This essay surveys the new directions in global cultural diplomacy. A standard difficulty in surveys is the lack of an agreed terminology. Is the field to be referred to as “cultural diplomacy”, “cultural PR”, “public diplomacy”, “nation branding”? Different countries, different organizations, different authors use the terms almost interchangeably. This essay uses “cultural diplomacy” and returns to the terminology issue in its final section. It will be useful to start with a set of opening parameters in mind. Rod Fisher has a seven point list of the principal objectives of a country’s foreign cultural policy. They are: • to promote cultural diplomacy • to develop cultural relations • to support the export of a nation’s cultural products and creative industries • to underpin the development of beneficial new trading arrangements • to attract tourism and perhaps inward investment • to enhance programme aid in developing countries and • To create an informed and primarily favourable picture of a country to the “outside world”.2 1 Steve Green is Team Leader for the EUNIC presidency.
