    Click here for Full Issue of EIR Volume 6, Number 7, February 20, 1979 FROM OUR COMPETITION ... Keeping tabs of the Economist Long regarded as the acme of financial and economic reporting in the English-speaking world, the venerable, London-based Economist is today filled with distortions, inaccuracies, and misstate­ ments of fact - sometimes deliberate. All too frequently, the Economist's inaccuracies and mis­ statements of fact appear in contexts in which they slip past the reader who does "not have indepen­ dent sources of information. To assist these readers in separating the wheat from the chaff, EIR's in­ telligence staff, which regularly crosschecks the Economist mis- and disinformation, has developed the following column to provide regular correction to the inaccuracies of the London publication, What the Economist said (Feb. 10-18, 1979) The Facts "Anything but equities" (lead business feature): Readers of the Economist who took such advice by " ...capitalists have been fleeing from securities ... in­ buying gold on Friday, Feb. 9, when it hit the news­ vestors were treating last week's tentative cuts in stands, would have lost 5 percent of their investment prime rates as an aberration....

  • Freie Demokraten Trauern Um Klaus Kinkel
    Freie Demokraten trauern um Klaus Kinkel FDP| 05.03.2019 - 10:30 Freie Demokraten trauern um Klaus Kinkel Die Freien Demokraten trauern um ihren ehemaligen Bundesvorsitzenden und Außenminister a.D., Klaus Kinkel. Er starb am Montag im Alter von 82 Jahren. Christian Lindner, Bundesvorsitzender der FDP, schrieb in einer ersten Reaktion: "Der Tod von Klaus Kinkel geht mir nahe. Er war ein aufrechter und bescheidener Mann mit Charakter, dessen freundschaftlichen Rat ich sehr geschätzt habe. Ich habe ihm viel zu verdanken." Lindner würdigte Kinkels Verdienste um Deutschland und Europa: "Klaus Kinkel verstand sich nie als Parteipolitiker, sondern im besten Sinne des Wortes als Staatsdiener. Er erwarb sich so große Verdienste und hat für unser Land und unsere Partei mehr bewirkt, als öffentlich mitunter wahrgenommen wurde." Kinkel habe sich "um diese Partei, aber vor allen Dingen auch um unser Land hoch verdient" gemacht. "Er verkörperte vieles von dem, was wir brauchen: Vernunft, Offenheit und Toleranz. In diesen gefährlichen Zeiten sei Kinkels Bekenntnis zu Europa und dessen Grundwerten nötiger denn je", zollt er dem starken moralischen Kompass des liberalen Urgesteins seinen Respekt. "Wir verlieren mit ihm einen väterlichen Freund. Er war uns bis in diese Tage ein weiser und bisweilen leidenschaftlicher Ratgeber. Dabei war er immer loyal und diskret. Wir werden ihn sehr vermissen", so Lindner. Was er auch tat, er sei in rauem Umfeld ein prinzipientreuer, liebenswürdiger und bescheidener Mensch geblieben: "Er wird uns fehlen." Lindner erklärte: "Als Bundesvorsitzender hat er sich von 1993 bis 1995 für unsere Partei in schwieriger Zeit in die Pflicht nehmen lassen und hat sie trotz damals schlechter Ausgangslage wieder in den Bundestag und die Bundesregierung geführt.

  • Expertise of July 1, 2000 Topic: Reform of European Anti
    Expertise of July 1, 2000 Topic: Reform of European Anti-Trust Policy Meeting in a number of sessions, the last on July 1, 2000, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology’s Economic Advisory Council addressed the topic of the Reform of European Anti-Trust Policy and subsequently adopted the following position. In earlier analyses of German and European competition policy, the Advisory Council outlined the economic and legal reasons why, within a market economy, there must be a fundamental and effective prohibition of cartels. In connection with the establishment of the Economic and Mone- tary Union, the Member States, in the Maastricht Treaty, for the first time established as a legal tenet that the Community was committed to upholding a system of open markets based on free competition (further details in: Advisory Council paper of August 1994 entitled “Ordnungspoli- tische Orientierung für die Europäische Union”). Although the competition rules already in force remained unaffected by this step, it was stressed that the effective functioning of the instruments of monetary policy as set forth in the EC Treaty depended on the existence of competitive struc- tures. The purpose of the system of undistorted competition, which was enacted into law by the EC Treaty and includes a prohibition of cartels under Art. 81 EC Treaty, was to guarantee these prerequisites. 1. The EC Commission has announced fundamental changes in the manner in which cartels would be assessed. Its White Paper of May 12, 1999 (Official Journal C 321) proposes a Regulation based on Art. 83 EC Treaty. This measure is aimed at changing the present rules by which the cartel prohibition in Art.

  • The Political Constraints on Constitutional Review
    The Political Constraints on Constitutional Review Philipp A. Schroeder University College London (UCL) Research Degree, PhD: Political Science 2 To Edith Pflaum and Yesmean Luk, whatever comes out of this, without them I would have never made it this far. I am also thankful for support from my su- pervisors Christine Reh, Lucas Leemann and Tim Hicks, who had the right advice whenever this project was about to go off the rails. 3 I, Philipp Alexander Schroeder, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract Scholars of judicial politics have long recognised that courts reviewing the constitu- tionality of legislative and executive acts lack the power of the purse and sword and cannot coerce lawmakers into compliance with their jurisprudence. In this thesis, I offer a novel perspective on how courts solve the tension that comes with their re- liance on the executive and legislative branches for the efficacy of their judgements. The thesis is motivated by an empirical puzzle: Existing scholarship suggests that censure through a court is electorally costly for lawmakers, yet at times we can ob- serve lawmakers' pursuit of policies provoking confrontation with courts. I present a formal model demonstrating that lawmakers dismissing advice that their policies are at odds with constitutional jurisprudence and hence risking the political fallout from a court's veto signal a credible non-compliance threat. Upon observing such signals, courts face incentives to show self-restraint in their judgements and ease the constitutional limits to lawmakers' policy-making.

  • Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger Bundesjustizministerin Im Gespräch Mit Werner Reuß
    BR-ONLINE | Das Online-Angebot des Bayerischen Rundfunks Sendung vom 19.5.2010, 20.15 Uhr Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger Bundesjustizministerin im Gespräch mit Werner Reuß Reuß: Verehrte Zuschauer, ganz herzlich willkommen zum alpha-Forum. Unser Gast ist heute Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger. Sie ist Mitglied des Deutschen Bundestages, Landesvorsitzende der FDP in Bayern und, zum zweiten Mal in ihrer Karriere, Bundesministerin der Justiz. Ich freue mich, dass sie hier ist, ganz herzlich willkommen, Frau Bundesministerin. Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger: Ich freue mich auch, ich grüße Sie. Reuß: Das Bundesjustizministerium gehört ja zu den fünf klassischen Ressorts einer Regierung neben dem Auswärtigen Amt, dem Innenministerium, dem Verteidigungsministerium und dem Finanzministerium. Es drängt allerdings nicht so sehr in den Vordergrund wie andere Ministerien. Ihre Amtskollegin, die bayerische Justizministerin Beate Merk, meinte einmal: "Die Justiz war immer ein zurückhaltendes Ressort." Allerdings gehören sehr viele Bereiche zu Ihrem Ressort, u. a. der Generalbundesanwalt, das Bundesverwaltungsgericht, der Bundesgerichtshof, das Deutsche Patentamt, in dem Sie selbst auch einmal gearbeitet haben. Was sind denn die drei, vier wichtigsten Aufgaben der Bundesjustizministerin? Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger: Die Bundesjustizministerin hat ja mehr Aufgaben als die Länderjustizminister, weil die meiste Gesetzgebungskompetenz für das Strafrecht, für das Bürgerliche Gesetzbuch, für die allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen, für das Insolvenzrecht, das

  • Who Is Who in Impeding Climate Protection
    Who is Who in Impeding Climate Protection Links between politics and the energy industry The short route to climate collapse The UK meteorological offi ce forecast at the very beginning of the year that 2007 would be the warmest year since weather records began being made. The scientists there estimated that the global average temperature would be 0.54 degrees above the 14 degree average experienced over many years. The record so far, an average of 14.52 degrees, is held by 1998. 2005, which was similarly warm, went into the meteorologists’ record books on reaching an average of 14.65 degrees in the northern hemisphere. Findings made by the German meteorological service also confi rm the atmosphere to be warming. Shortly before the beginning of 2007 the service reported that the year 2006 had been one of the warmest years since weather records began being made in 1901, and the month of July had been the hottest ever since then. An average of 9.5 degrees was 1.3 degrees Celsius above the long-term average of 8.2 degrees. International climate experts are agreed that the global rise in temperature must stay below two degrees Celsius if the effects of climate change are to remain controllable. But the time corridor for the effective reduction of greenhouse gases damaging to the climate is getting narrower and narrower. In the last century already the Earth’s average temperature rose by 0.8 degrees. The experts in the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change anticipate a further rise of up to 6.4 degrees by 2100.
