Venezuela's legal framework for foreign investment requires equal treatment for both foreign and local companies, with the exception of a few sectors in which the state or Venezuelan nationals must be majority owners, including hydrocarbons and the media. In practice, however, foreign investors encounter hurdles. Foreign investors need to register with the Superintendent of Foreign Investment (SIEX) within 60 days of the date of their investment. Foreign companies may open offices in Venezuela without prior authorization from SIEX as long as they do not engage in certain sales or business activities that would require registration. No prior authorization is required for technical assistance, transfer of technology, or trademark-use agreements provided they are not contrary to existing legal provisions. Decree 2095 reserved three areas of economic activity to “national companies”: (1) broadcast media, (2) Spanish-language newspapers, and (3) professional services regulated by national laws. These professional services include law, architecture, engineering, medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, economics, public accounting, psychology, pharmacy, and management. A “national company” (as defined in Article 1 of Andean Community Decision 291) is a company in which Venezuelan nationals hold more than 80 percent of the equity. Foreign capital is therefore restricted to a maximum of 19.9 percent in the areas noted above.

For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Hugo CHAVEZ, president from 1999 to 2013, sought to implement his "21st Century Socialism," which purported to alleviate social ills while at the same time attacking capitalist globalization and existing democratic institutions. Current concerns include: a weakening of democratic institutions, political polarization, a politicized military, rampant violent crime, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples. Section 2 - Anti – Money Laundering / Terrorist Financing FATF status Venezuela is no longer on the FATF List of Countries that have been identified as having strategic AML deficiencies FATF Statement - 22 February 2013 The FATF welcomes Venezuela’s significant progress in improving its AML/CFT regime and notes that Venezuela has established the legal and regulatory framework to meet its commitments in its Action Plan regarding the strategic deficiencies that the FATF had identified in October 2010. Venezuela is therefore no longer subject to FATF’s monitoring process under its on-going global AML/CFT compliance process. Venezuela will work with the CFATF as it continues to address the full range of AML/CFT issues identified in its Mutual Evaluation Report. Compliance with FATF Recommendations The last Mutual Evaluation Report relating to the implementation of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing standards in Venezuela was undertaken by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2009. According to that Evaluation, Venezuela was deemed Compliant for 6 and Largely Compliant for 12 of the FATF 40 + 9 Recommendations. It was Partially Compliant or Non- Compliant for 5 of the 6 Core Recommendations. Key Findings from latest Mutual Evaluation Report (2009): The “Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela”, situated in the northern part of South America, has an area of approximately 912,050 square kilometres, and 28,800,000 inhabitants. Petroleum and its derivatives are the mainstay of the economy, which boasts one of the highest per capita incomes in the region. Because of its geographical location, Venezuela is a transit country for illicit drugs, which account for the largest proportion of money laundering activities. Other sources of illicit funds are corruption, which accounts for the largest number of cases analysed by the FIU, after those related to drug trafficking. Up to the present time no cases of financing of terrorist activities have been discovered in the Republic of Venezuela. Legal systems and related institutional measures As regards criminalisation of money laundering, Article 4 of the Organic Law Against Organised Crime (LOCDO) criminalises and sanctions money laundering under the title of “Legitimisation of Capital”. It embodies all the characteristic elements and modalities set out in the 1988 UN Convention against the Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Vienna Convention) and the 2000 UN Convention against Transnational Organised Crime (Palermo Convention). All offences enumerated in the LOCDO constitute predicate offences, and in general terms almost all serious crimes are covered as predicate to money laundering. A person may be prosecuted for laundering assets derived from crimes committed abroad, and a person may be convicted for laundering the proceeds of offences committed by himself (self- laundering). As regards evidence, for purposes of conviction for money laundering, intent on the part of the accused may be inferred from the objective circumstances of the case. Evidence may also be introduced on the basis of the principle of libertad probatoria (full admissibility of evidence) embodied in

The International Uranium Resources Evaluation Project (1980) considered the Early Proterozoic Roraima Group as a possible setting for Proterozoic unconformity and quartz-pebble conglomerate deposits. Apparent similarity of the geologic setting of the basal Roraima Group of southeastern Venezuela to unconformity U-Au deposits and quartz-pebble conglomerate Au-U deposits indicates that the Roraima Group may be an exploration target for uranium.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Since 2001, the local non-governmental organization (NGO) Sociedad Ecológica Venezolana Vida Marina (Sea Vida) has been promoting responsible whalewatching in the “Municipio Ocumare de la Costa de Oro”, State of Aragua. Here, we review the origin and development of whalewatching in Ocumare de la Costa de Oro, as detailed below. 1) Scientific research. Research effort dates back to 1996-1998, when researchers of the Ministry of Environment evaluated the status of cetacean populations in this area. Since 2000-2001, research efforts have been accomplished by Sea Vida’s teams and independent researchers. Target species include Atlantic spotted (Stenella frontalis) and bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) dolphins and Bryde’s whales (Balaenoptera edeni). The encounter rate with cetaceans is approximately 70%. 2) Regulatory framework. No specific regulations exist in Venezuela for whalewatching. Currently, a proposal presented by Sea Vida for the enactment of regulations at the national level is being reviewed by the MINAMB.

  • Andrzej Bonasewicz
    Andrzej Bonasewicz CHANGES IN SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF VENEZUELA'S ECONOMY Spatial structure of Venezuela's economy shows large disproportions — both with regard to sectors as well as regional—which, despite at- tempts at their reducing, are continuously growing. The existing spatial dichotomy has its roots in the colonial period. Creation of an administrative centre of the colony contributed to con- centration of the population and economic activities in the vicinity of the capital. The economic activities gave rise to the central region, con- centration of power and decisions as well as subordination of peripheral regions. The spatial dualism was further intensified in the 19th and 20th centuries after gaining independence by Venezuela. The regional dicho- tomy was favoured by the economy of the enclave type based on mi- ning of crude oil and iron ore which was controlled by foreign mono- polies and destined mainly for exports. The income from the export of raw materials was partly used to cover needs of the central region and partly taken abroad. In effect, there arose strong dependence of peripheral regions on the central region, and of the central region on foreign centres which was typical of the system of dependent capita- lism. The central region in Venezuela covers the area of 20,130 sq km, i.e. 2.34°/o of the area of the country and includes the Federal District and the states of Miranda, Aragua and Carabobo situated in the north of the country, on the Caribbean Sea. The main centre of the central re- gion is the metropolitan area of Caracas and towns having over 20 thou- sand inhabitants.
