    Europe India Chamber of Commerce Issue: 46 Volume: 4 December 2011 Flanders in action with Global India Business on agenda The Global India Business Meeting (GIBM) to be held in Antwerp on 24-25 June 2012 received a wide coverage in the press and media in India and in Europe when the Minister-President of the Flemish government Mr. Kris Peeters, during his visit to India last fortnight, declared that the GIBM 2012 will be the most important business conclave for European and Indian business of the year 2012. The Flemish government which will host the Horasis business event, often described as the regional version of the World Economic Forum, is collaborating with EICC and other stakeholders in the preparation of the meeting. More than 300 business leaders and industrialists from India and Europe will participate. The Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Mr. Anand Sharma whom Mr. Peeters met in New Delhi will be the chief guest and address the meeting. The trade and economic relations between India and Belgium has been going from strength to strength with India being an important investor in the Flanders with investment of about 1.2 billion Euros. Over 50 Indian companies in the field of ICT, Pharma, Transport and Machinery equipment have established their presence. Top CEOs and selected business executives will discuss issues like trade and investment, finance, green tech, etc. The GIBM will be held in a very unsettled and fluid global business environment and the Eurozone economic crisis will offer the participant opportunities to debate on the global economy and what solution they think both India and Europe can help tide over the crisis.

  • JRD Denims Limited 07 Nov 2018 Brickwork Ratings Assigns BWR
    Rating Rationale JRD Denims Limited 07 Nov 2018 Brickwork Ratings assigns BWR BBB-/A3 for the Bank Loan Facilities of ​ Rs. 112.00 Crores of JRD Denims Limited (‘JRDDL’ or ‘the Company’) Particulars Facility* Amount (Rs. Crs) Tenure Rating1 ​ Fund based Cash Credit 20.00 BWR BBB- Long Term (Pronounced as BWR Triple B Minus) Term Loans 85.00^ (Outlook: Stable) Non Fund Based Bank Guarantee BWR A3 7.00 Short Term (Pronounced as BWR A Three) Total 112.00 (Rupees One Hundred Twelve Crores Only) 1 For​ definitions of the rating symbol please visit our website www.brickworkratings.com ​ *Annexure I show details of bank loan facilities;^ includes undisbursed portion of Rs. 25.00 crs Rationale/Description of Key Rating Drivers/Rating sensitivities: Brickwork Ratings (BWR) has essentially relied upon the audited financial results of the Company upto FY18, provisional financials of H1FY19, projected financials, publicly available information and information/clarifications provided by the management. The ratings draw strength from the experience of the promoters in the textile industry through group entities, timely commissioning of Phase I of the project, DSRA structure for the term loans, locational advantages and healthy order book position. The ratings are constrained by the project execution risk and delay in completion of Phase II, limited experience of the promoters in the denim sector, susceptibility of margins to fluctuation in prices of raw materials, seasonality associated with the availability of raw materials, intensely competitive textile industry and working capital intensive operations. Going forward, the Company’s ability to stabilise and achieve optimal operations in Phase I, achieve completion of Phase II as anticipated without any significant time and cost overruns, ensure timely funding, strengthen its credit profile and manage its working capital efficiently will be the key rating sensitivities.

  • AIBEA's Banking News
    AIBEA’s Banking News 3 MAY 2018 NEWS BULLETIN FROM ALL INDIA BANK EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION ‘Struggle for a living wage continues’ BY NOMAZIMA NKOSI AND ODETTE PARFITT - 02 May 2018 HERALDLIFE President Cyril Ramaphosa arrives at the Wolfson Stadium Arriving to a hero‘s welcome at Port Elizabeth‘s Isaac Wolfson Stadium yesterday, President Cyril Ramaphosa hailed the new national minimum wage as a historic victory for workers. He was addressing a sea of red-clad Cosatu members and supporters who had packed the 10 000-seat Kwazakhele stadium to celebrate National Workers‘ Day. ―This is a victory no matter what other people may say,‖ Ramaphosa said. 1 ―We knew R20 an hour was not a living wage, but we needed to form a foundation. ―If we said workers had to earn R15 000, many people would lose their jobs and companies would [have to] close. ―We concluded that the struggle for a living wage must continue but we must start somewhere. ―This is a struggle that you as workers must wage.‖ Ramaphosa credited Cosatu for the start of minimum wage negotiations, saying the labour federation had identified the need as enshrined in the Freedom Charter. He also called for equal pay for men and women workers, and said while the government wanted to protect workers‘ right to strike, they should do so responsibly. ―We must look very carefully at how we engage in our industrial action. ―Recently, we‘ve found some workers have prevented others from doing important work, such as helping women give birth. ―Let us have that humanity that, even when we are on strike, certain services are important.

  • Technology Acceleration Process for the THEMIS Low Cost and Reusable Prototype
    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2019-97 8TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) Technology acceleration process for the THEMIS low cost and reusable prototype Jerome VILA* and Jeremie HASSIN** *ArianeWorks / CNES [email protected] **ArianeWorks / CNES [email protected] Abstract While Ariane 6 and Vega-C are about to being fielded and entering operations, CNES and Arianegroup are already actively preparing next generation of European launchers. With the PROMETHEUS oxygen/methan engine starting subsystems testing in 2018, and the CALLISTO experimental reusable vehicle about to complete Preliminary Design, engineering work has been initiated for next step on the European roadmap: THEMIS. THEMIS is both a demonstrator and a prototype of a low cost and reusable first stage, meant as the centrepiece of future Ariane architectures. It is intended to feature PROMETHEUS and will build upon technologies and lessons learned from the CALLISTO programme. Several challenges lie ahead for THEMIS, with two highlights: meeting an aggressive cost targets consistent with the 50% launch cost cut sought beyond Ariane 6, and keeping a swift tempo for getting THEMIS ready well before 2025. To address those challenges, a specific initiative was undertaken by CNES and Arianegroup, under codename ArianeWorks: combining both a “Skunkworks like” approach and an open-innovation platform, ArianeWorks is tasked with getting the project done quicker and bolder than through a conventional organization. The paper will discuss the system engineering approach adopted for THEMIS design, by identifying and then allocating technical objectives related to Ariane 6 evolution/Ariane NEXT between CALLISTO and different sized THEMIS options. Then, the early hardware/testing “agile” development process will be detailed, with an aim at speeding up design iterations and technology maturations.

  • Small Launchers in a Pandemic World - 2021 Edition of the Annual Industry Survey
    SSC21- IV-07 Small Launchers in a Pandemic World - 2021 Edition of the Annual Industry Survey Carlos Niederstrasser Northrop Grumman Corporation 45101 Warp Drive, Dulles, VA 20166 USA; +1.703.406.5504 [email protected] ABSTRACT Even with the challenges posed by the world-wide COVID pandemic, small vehicle "Launch Fever" has not abated. In 2015 we first presented this survey at the AIAA/USU Conference on Small Satellites1, and we identified twenty small launch vehicles under development. By mid-2021 ten vehicles in this class were operational, 48 were identified under development, and a staggering 43 more were potential new entrants. Some are spurred by renewed government investment in space, such as what we see in the U.K. Others are new commercial entries from unexpected markets such as China. All are inspired by the success of SpaceX and the desire to capitalize on the perceived demand caused by the mega constellations. In this paper we present an overview of the small launch vehicles under development today. When available, we compare their capabilities, stated mission goals, cost and funding sources, and their publicized testing progress. We also review the growing number of entrants that have dropped out since we first started this report. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, one system became operational in the past 12 months and two or three more systems hope to achieve their first successful launch in 2021. There is evidence that this could be the year when the small launch market finally becomes saturated; however, expectations continue to be high and many new entrants hope that there is room for more providers.
