The questionnaire -was prepared by the Bureau of Domestic Com- merce in cooperation with the American Consulting Engineers Coun- cil ,the Ame-Acan Society of Civil Engineers, the Associated General Contractors of America, the Natienal Constructors Association, and .I'he National ,Society of Professional Engineers. ,Many'persons participated directly in the preparation of this revised edition. It was eirepared in the Office of Business Research and Analy- sis of the Bureaii of Domestic Commerce by John L. Matticks, Indus- try 'Commodity Specialist. His supervisors were K.L. Kollar, Direc- tor, Water,Resources and Engineering Services Program, and W.E. Penoyar, DirectoreCcinstruction and Forest Products Division., More ,than 120 Comthercial OffiCers of U.S. Embassies orConsulateg Gen- .eral, 'togetlier with the several Country Market Managers, and staff members of the BUJ-eau of International commerce provided the basic information reported in this Edition. Invaluable assistance was pro- vided by the Foreign Communications Center staff of both the Depart- ments of State and Commerce: Many other persons contributed sig- nificantly to the preparation of this Handbook. It is regretted that all of these valuable contributions cannot be indi.idually acknowl- edged. The information p,resente,d in this edition was accurate at the time of its acquisition. However, eicperience haS proven that the internal af- fairs of several nations "can be highly dynamic. A pUblication such as this can ohly provide a "photograph" of the state of development in such countries. Information on'tax matters is indicative of the-scope of this problem. Tax laws are complex and are constantly changing. They should be reviewed carefully before signing.a contract. When financing from external sources is involved, additional-information will also be needed. In some cases, it is reported there are no legal restrictions affecting repatriation and convertibilitI of currency but in actual prac- -.I "" r twe diffr6ulties may exist. All data reported herein should Lbe dated by the consultant through personal investigation preferably during or before negotiation with prospective clients, andcertainly before.an,, contractual obliAtions are assumed. Notwithstanding these and similar uncertainties,engineers %kill fine this Handbook to be a basic guideline to regulations affectingtheir , practice over-ea- . ra . EXPORTING ENGINEERING SERVICES Noted for theiruality, dependability, and performance, U.S. engi- neers are making substantial contributions to the well-being of the global community. 11 Consequently, the demand for their services is in- creasing with the following factors, contributing to the demand: Desire of developing nations to elevate the quality of living of their people by accelerating economic growth through theuse of tech- nology. Desire of developed countries to increase pr oductivity through the use of high technology equipment and processes. - Desire of countries with well-developed, foreign exchange-pro- ducing extractive industries for increased goods and services. Improved relations between Eastern European countries and the United States. Increased availability ofiritemationallinancing. Shortage of qualified technical personnel to engineer the desired changes. The link between engineers who write standards and specifications for materials and equipment to be Used and the related sales of U.S. commodities and goods has been recogrfized. To maintaina continued high growth rate in the U.S. economy, ,the Department of Commerce. plans and administers most of the operations designed to support the, 7 U.S. Government's export expansion program. a Of special interest to consulting engineers is the information,mar- ketin:g., and procurement services Offered by the Department with resSct to the following: Foreign Government tenders.

It sits in the heart of Western Europe, between France, Belgium and Germany, in close proximity to a number of large cities. Indeed, London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Zürich and Berlin are all just one hour away by plane. Luxembourg’s Findel airport is located 15 minutes from Luxembourg City center, making it possible to quickly reach over 60 destinations in Europe and North Africa. Several daily flights connect Luxembourg to London, Frankfurt and Paris, providing a quick and easy connection to Europe’s most important financial centers. The country has excellent road and rail infrastructure. The railway net- work is efficient and extremely well-connected to the large European hubs, making traveling to Paris, Frankfurt or Brussels simple. Paris is only two hours and ten minutes from Luxembourg on the East European High Speed line. Luxembourg is an EU capital, where several high-ranking European institutions are based. These include European Court of Auditors, Eu- ropean Investment Bank (EIB), European Investment Fund (EIF), the Secretariat-General of the European Parliament and various departments of the European Commission, European Court of Justice, and European General Court, as well as the European Office of Statistics (Eurostat) and Office for Official Publications of the European Communities.

  • Speech of H.E. Prime Minister Xavier BETTEL on the Occasion of the 150Th Anniversary of the Treaty of London, 11 May 2017
    Speech of H.E. Prime Minister Xavier BETTEL on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Treaty of London, 11 May 2017. Your Royal Highnesses, Excellences, Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen, I am not a historian, but please allow me to introduce you to a decisive moment in the modern history of my country, since the city, and its fortress, were borne in 963. Indeed, the foundation stone of modern Luxembourg was laid exactly 150 years ago this very day, at the international conference of London on 11 May, 1867. To understand today's Luxembourg, it is important to understand how and why Luxembourg became a nation state in the 19th century. 1867 is a milestone for the development of Luxembourg, and like often in history the events of 1867 could not have taken place without two other important events which took place a few decades earlier. The Congress of Vienna in 1815 created the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg and bestowed its sovereignty and property on the King of the Netherlands. At the same moment, the congress decided that a Prussian garrison totaling up to 4.000 men would stay in the impressive fortifications of Luxembourg. The whole city lived in the rhythm of the fortress, and though many benefited of the business thus generated, let's keep in mind that Luxembourg, as a whole, was a poor country. Lacking a promising perspective, a great majority of Luxembourgers in the countryside joined in the Belgian Revolution of 1830. Only the capital city, Luxembourg, well-guarded by the Prussian garrison, remained loyal to the King of the Netherlands.

  • The Sudden Eagerness Final
    The ‘sudden eagerness’ to consult the Luxembourgish people on constitutional change* The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is certainly not renowned for making frequent use of direct popular consultations in the field of constitutional change. Its current Constitution, dating back to 1868, has been amended some thirty-seven times between 1919 and 2009. None of these amendments has ever been submitted to direct popular consent. Looking for characteristic elements of the country’s constitutional culture, one would rather think of: ‘constitutional stability’, ‘search for across-party political consensus’, ‘legal pragmatism’, ‘attachment to monarchy’ and ‘strong commitment to the model of representative democracy’. Referenda as instruments to consult the people on legislative, international or constitutional issues however are not fully unknown to the Luxembourgish Constitutional landscape. First introduced in 1919, to allow consultations of the voters in cases determined by legislative acts and, second in 2003, to give the people the final saying on constitutional amendments, they have yet remained exceptional. Only three referenda have in fact been organized on different matters and in different circumstances in 1919, 1937 and 2005. For the very first time in the country’s constitutional history the current coalition government with its slim majority in the Chambre des députés (hereafter ‘the Chambre’) now intend to hold two further referenda in order to accomplish far-reaching constitutional revisions initiated in 2009. The first one, meant to be merely consultative, is scheduled on 7 June 2015. Voters will have to answer three questions regarding specific constitutional orientations, which remain disputed after the course of the general amendment procedure.
