PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1. INTRODUCTION The Tunisian national energy company STEG (“Société Tunisienne d’Electricité et de Gaz”) is currently implementing the Power Transmission Program of its XIIth National Plan (2011-2016). Under this program, the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and the EIB (European Investment Bank) are considering contributing to the financing of: a network of high voltage underground power lines in the Tunis-Ariana urban area ; two high-voltage power lines, one in the Nabeul region, the other in the Manouba region; the building or extension of associated electrical substations. The project considered for EBRD/EIB financing consists of 3 sub-components, which are described below. 1.2. SUB-COMPONENT 1: UNDERGROUND POWER LINES IN TUNIS/ARIANA This sub-component comprises a new electrical substation in Chotrana and a series of underground high-voltage power lines: two 225 kV cables, each 10 km in length, from Chotrana to Kram; one 225 kV cable of 12.8 km, from Chotrana to Mnihla; one 90 kV cable of 6.3 km, from “Centre Urbain Nord” substation to Chotrana substation; one 90 kV cable of 8.6 km from « Lac Ouest » substation to Chotrana substation; one 90 kV cable of 2 km from Barthou substation to « Lac Ouest » substation.

    A NOTE FROM SIR RICHARD BRANSON “ In 1998, I went to Morocco with the goal of circumnavigating the globe in a hot air balloon. Whilst there, my parents found a beautiful Kasbah and dreamed of turning it into a wonderful Moroccan retreat. Sadly, I didn’t quite manage to realise my goal on that occasion, however I did purchase that magnificent Kasbah and now my parents’ dream has become a reality. I am pleased to welcome you to Kasbah Tamadot, (Tamadot meaning soft breeze in Berber), which is perhaps one of the most beautiful properties in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

  • Study of the Interannual Rainfall Variability in Northern Algeria Etude De La Variabilite Inter-Annuelle Des Pluies De L'algerie Septentrionale
    Revue scientifique et technique. LJEE N°23. Décembre 2013 STUDY OF THE INTERANNUAL RAINFALL VARIABILITY IN NORTHERN ALGERIA ETUDE DE LA VARIABILITE INTER-ANNUELLE DES PLUIES DE L'ALGERIE SEPTENTRIONALE Mohamed MEDDI. École Nationale Supérieure d’Hydraulique, Blida, LGEE. [email protected] Samir TOUMI . École Nationale Supérieure d’Hydraulique, Blida, LGEE. ABSTRACT : The work presented here focuses on the inter-annual variability of annual rainfall in Northern Algeria. This work is carried out by using the coefficient of variation (the ratio between the standard deviation and the average). We will try to show areas of low, medium and high variations in Northern Algeria. In order to do this, we use 333 rainfall stations spread over the entire study area, with a measurement period of 37 years (1968/2004). The contrast of rainfall spatial and temporal distribution has been demonstrated by studying the sixteen basins, as adopted by the National Agency of Water Resources. The high spatial variability characterizes the basins of the High Plateaus of Constantine and Chot El Hodna. Keywords: Northern Algeria - annual Rainfall - inter-annual variability - coefficient of variation RESUME : Nous présentons dans cet article une étude de la variabilité interannuelle des pluies annuelles en Algérie septentrionale. Ce travail a été réalisé en utilisant le coefficient de variation (le rapport entre l'écart-type et la moyenne). Nous essayerons de montrer les zones à faible, moyenne et forte variations dans le Nord de l'Algérie. Pour se faire, nous avons utilisé 333 postes pluviométriques réparties sur l'ensemble de la zone d'étude avec une période de mesure de 37 ans (1968/2004).

  • Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime
    Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime March 2013 OECD Paris, France Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime OECD mission, 5-9 November 2012 “…We are working with Tunisia, who joined the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters in July 2012, to review its tax incentives regime and to support its efforts to develop a new investment law.” Remarks by Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, delivered at the Deauville Partnership Meeting of the Finance Ministers in Tokyo, 12 October 2012 1. Executive Summary This analysis of the Tunisian tax incentives regime was conducted by the OECD Tax and Development Programme1 at the request of the Tunisian Ministry of Finance. Following discussions with the government, the OECD agreed to conduct a review of the Tunisian tax incentive system within the framework of the Principles to Enhance the Transparency and Governance of Tax Incentives for Investment in Developing Countries.2 As requested by the Tunisian authorities, the objective of this review was to understand the current system’s bottlenecks and to propose changes to improve efficiency of the system in terms of its ability to mobilise revenue on the one hand and to attract the right kind of investment on the other. The key findings are based on five days of intensive consultations and analysis. Key Findings and Recommendations A comprehensive tax reform effort, including tax policy and tax administration, is critical in the near term to mobilize domestic resources more effectively. The tax reform programme should include, but not be limited to, the development of a new Investment Incentives Code, aimed at transforming the incentives scheme.

(Lamiaceae) is one of the most important medicinal species in term of ethnobotany in Morocco. It is considered as a very threatened species as it is heavily exploited. Its domestication remains the most efficient way to safeguard it for future generations. For this purpose, wide evaluation of the existing variability in all over the Moroccan territory is required. The essential oils of 527 individual plants belonging to 88 populations collected from the whole distribution area of the species in Morocco were analyzed by GC/MS.
