An important initial step on the road to the economic union of the Benelux countries will thus be taken. The Customs Union implies, on the one hand, that the participating countries no longer have to pay each other customs duties, and, on the other hand, that a common tariff will be levied vis-à-vis third countries. The fact that the Benelux countries no longer need to pay each other import duty does not mean, however, that trade between the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg will no longer be subject to restrictions. Such trade will continue to be governed by the trade agreement concluded on 1 June 1947 which laid down quotas for trade to be conducted under a system of import licences.

  • PRESS RELEASE Warburg-HIH Invest Sells Historic Canal House in Amsterdam to Edmond De Rothschild REIM
    PRESS RELEASE Warburg-HIH Invest Sells Historic Canal House in Amsterdam to Edmond de Rothschild REIM Amsterdam/Hamburg, 17 June 2021 – Warburg-HIH Invest Real Estate (Warburg-HIH Invest) just sold the office property located at Herengracht 124-128 in Amsterdam to Edmond de Rothschild REIM for its Benelux Commercial Real Estate Fund. The building is located in a central part of Amsterdam and was constructed during the 1920s. The property has a lettable area of approximately 4,600 square metres. The property is currently fully let to a coworking company. It was agreed not to disclose the selling price. Matthias Brodesser, Head of Transaction Management International at Warburg-HIH Invest, said: “We acquired the property for an attractive price in July 2015. At that time, the coworking model was still more or less in its infancy. ‘The coworking tenant was founded in this house. Following sound performance over the past six years, we seized the chance to sell the property in the current market environment.” “Because of its location directly next to a canal in a generally very desirable part of Amsterdam, and because of the flexible structure of its layout behind the historic façade of the building, it will keep generating strong demand in future, especially among companies in the creative media and communications sectors,” added Reinoud Plantenga, Managing Director of Warburg-HIH Invest BeNeLux. Robbert Bakhuijsen, Head of Investments at Edmond de Rothschild REIM, commented: “This acquisition represents a strategic expansion of the fund within Amsterdam. The asset perfectly fits within the fund’s strategy to acquire core assets on strong locations which have proven to be resilient.

  • Let's Talk About '.Sx' (And Others) International - Hogan Lovells International LLP
    Let's talk about '.sx' (and others) International - Hogan Lovells International LLP May 15 2012 Last year, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) granted the islands of Sint Maarten and Curaçao the country codes ‘.sx’ and ‘.cw’, respectively. Sint Maarten and Curaçao used to be part of the Netherlands Antilles, an autonomous Caribbean country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands consisting of two separate groups of islands: l Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, off the Venezuelan coast; and l Sint Maarten, Saba and Sint Eustatius, southeast of the Virgin Islands. Sint Maarten and Curaçao became separate countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands in October 2010, when the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved; Aruba (‘.aw’) already had this status since 1986. As for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (also known as the ‘BES Islands’), they became municipalities of the Netherlands and were granted the country code ‘.bq’ by ISO. Following the allocation of their country codes, Sint Maarten and Curaçao made applications to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the delegation of the ‘.sx’ and ‘.cw’ country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs), and these were granted. The ‘.sx’ registry recently announced the launch of ‘.sx’, which will follow the schedule below: l Grandfathering period: until May 2 2012 - during this period, holders of existing ‘.an’ domain names who are based in Sint Maarten will be able to secure the corresponding domain names under ‘.sx’. ‘.an’ was the ccTLD for the Netherlands Antilles, which have been dissolved. Thus the ‘.an’ ccTLD is now being phased out; since January 31 2012, domain name registrations under ‘.an’ are no longer possible, and existing ‘.an’ domain names will be deleted from October 31 2013.

  • Prestatieafspraken Beekdaelen (PDF)
    1 Inleiding In dit document benoemen we wat we in 2021 concreet gaan doen om bij te dragen aan de realisatie van onze meerjarige doelen en ambities. Een belangrijk deel benoemen we langs vaste acties en indicatoren (bijvoorbeeld het aantal nieuw te bouwen woningen, sloop, renovatie, het aantal betaalbare woningen, energielabelstappen, ontruimingen huisvesten vergunninghouders etc.). Daarnaast is er ruimte om afspraken over onderzoeksvragen en/of beleidsontwikkeling op te nemen, afgestemd op actuele ontwikkelingen en opgaven. We formuleren realistisch en meetbaar. We spreken af wat we in een jaar kunnen realiseren. Daarbij zorgen we dat we capaciteit en middelen beschikbaar hebben. Aan het einde van het jaar toetsen we of we gerealiseerd hebben wat we hebben afgesproken. We zetten ons samen in en ondersteunen elkaar om de gemaakte afspraken te realiseren. Corona: Begin 2020 is de wereld getroffen door het coronavirus. De maatregelen die verspreiding van het virus moeten voorkomen hebben een grote impact op ons allen. Beperkende maatregelen zullen naar verwachting ook in 2021 voortduren en de economische gevolgen zullen nog langer aanhouden. De verwachting is dan ook dat huurders meer dan nu in de problemen gaan komen in 2021. De mogelijke effecten en impact op de korte en lange termijn zijn nu nog niet in te schatten, maar partijen blijven actief in overleg om waar nodig acties tijdig te kunnen op pakken. In het voorjaar 2021 wordt een overleg belegd om een analyse met elkaar te maken om de impact en effecten te duiden. Waar nodig worden huurders die geraakt worden door de coronamaatregelen ondersteund en worden maatwerk- en coulanceoplossingen aangeboden.
