Consolidated Report on Payments to Governments 2019 Financial Year 1 STRABAG SE Consolidated report on payments to governments 2019 financial year INTRODUCTION With the following consolidated report on payments to governments, STRABAG SE fulfils the reporting obligation as defined by Section 267c of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) for its subsidiaries in the extractive industries. STRABAG SE makes these payments for, including but not limited to, the quarrying of natural stone, gravel and sand. The extractive activities not only serve the extraction and production of minerals in the respective countries but also help to secure jobs as well as ongoing investments in plant and equipment. DEFINITIONS The following terms used in this report are defined and explained below: Extractive subsidiary An extractive subsidiary is an undertaking with activity in the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals and other materials. The specific economic activities are listed in Section B, Divisions 05 to 08 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006. A subsidiary is classified to a respective economic activity using the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community, or NACE class, of the respective company regardless of its main economic activity. Secondary activities in one of the aforementioned classes are not considered. Government Government means any national, regional or local authority or a department, agency or undertaking controlled by that authority in an EU member state or third country. Payments Payments include both monetary payments as well as payments in kind. The report presents the total value of the contributions in the financial year per government, classified by seven types of payments. This includes payments for production entitlements (e.g., quarry fees), taxes on income, production or profits (e.g., landscape protection fees), royalties (e.g., rental fees), dividends, bonuses, licence fees and payments for infrastructure improvements. If no payments are made within these categories, this is not presented separately in the report. Payments which cannot be classified under one of the seven types of payments are not presented in the report. Payments need not be classified to one of the seven types of payments if they are below € 100,000 per payment type and per government. The payments are reported in the column “Remainder”. 2 Project A project is the totality of operating activities that are governed by a single contract or agreement, or by multiple such agreements if they are substantially interconnected, which form the basis for payment liabilities to governments. The present report takes into account especially the characteristic of the operating activities in the respective state and thus a geographic classification of the projects. MATERIALITY LIMIT Payments to all agencies of a government which are below a total of € 100,000 in a financial year are not reported. CURRENCY The report is presented in €. Currency conversion is made using the respective exchange rate at the time of payment. The values are stated exactly to € precision. SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION The following companies were included in the STRABAG SE consolidated report on payments to governments. Compared to the previous year, there were no changes to the scope of consolidation.

  • THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust
    THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski The Polish Police Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 17, 2016 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, April 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Jan Grabowski THE INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. Wrong Memory Codes? The Polish “Blue” Police and Collaboration in the Holocaust In 2016, seventy-one years after the end of World War II, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs disseminated a long list of “wrong memory codes” (błędne kody pamięci), or expressions that “falsify the role of Poland during World War II” and that are to be reported to the nearest Polish diplomat for further action. Sadly—and not by chance—the list elaborated by the enterprising humanists at the Polish Foreign Ministry includes for the most part expressions linked to the Holocaust. On the long list of these “wrong memory codes,” which they aspire to expunge from historical narrative, one finds, among others: “Polish genocide,” “Polish war crimes,” “Polish mass murders,” “Polish internment camps,” “Polish work camps,” and—most important for the purposes of this text—“Polish participation in the Holocaust.” The issue of “wrong memory codes” will from time to time reappear in this study.

  • Collectiones Museorum Manuscripta Castreniana Realia II, Ethnographica 1 Travaux Ethnographiques De La Société Finno-Ougrienne XXII
    Matthias Alexander Castrén Matthias Alexander Matt hias Alexander Castrén (1813–1852) was by far the most signifi cant Finn- ish linguist of the 19th century. In addition to being a linguist he was also a multidisciplinary scholar, equally versatile in the fi elds of ethnography, folklore, mythology, archaeology, history, and human geography. He left behind a huge corpus of fi eld data, collected by himself during prolonged expeditions to Kare- lia, Lapland, Arctic Russia, and Siberia between 1838 and 1849. In the short peri- ods of time Castrén spent in an academic environment, he had litt le opportunity to synthesize his collections, a situation aggravated by his rapidly progressing and ultimately fatal illness. Th erefore, a major part of his scholarly heritage re- mained unpublished when he died. Castrén was appointed Docent of Finnish and Ancient Nordic Languages and Tribes at the Imperial Alexander University in Helsinki in 1841, and ten years later he became the fi rst Professor of the Finnish Language. M.A. Castrén considered ethnology as a historical science and an instru- ment for describing the early periods of Finnish history. On his expeditions, he carried out ethnographic observations and took notes of the dwellings, cos- tumes, way of life, and customs of indigenous Siberian peoples. According to the programme draft ed by the Imperial Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences, Collectiones museorum Castrén collected ethnological artifacts for the Ethnographic Museum in Saint Petersburg, and some items for the Ethnographic Museum of the University of Helsinki. Th e present work concentrates on the collections which describe Castrén’s merits in ethnological studies and museology.

  • 1. Charakteristika Kraje a Jeho Postavení V Rámci České Republiky
    1. Charakteristika kraje a jeho postavení v rámci České republiky Pardubický kraj leží ve východní části Čech, na severu hraničí s Královéhradeckým krajem, na jihu s krajem Vysočina a s Jihomoravským krajem, na východě s Olomouckým a na západě se Středočeským krajem. Severovýchodní výběžek kraje sousedí také s Polskem. Východní částí kraje, Svitavskem a Moravskotřebovskem, prochází zemská hranice mezi Čechami a Moravou. Území Pardubického kraje se vyznačuje jedním z nejvyšších rozpětí nadmořské výšky mezi všemi kraji v České republice. Střední a západní část kraje je tvořena úrodnou Polabskou nížinou; nejnižší bod (201 m n. m.) přitom leží při západní hranici kraje na hladině Labe u Kojic. Severovýchod území ohraničuje jižní část Orlických hor a nejzápadnější svahy Hrubého Jeseníku. Na jihu a jihovýchodě je území kraje lemováno vrchovinnými oblastmi Žďárských vrchů a Železných hor. Orlické hory, Žďárské vrchy i Železné hory přitom patří mezi chráněné krajinné oblasti. Nejvyšším bodem kraje a jedním z nejvyšších míst České republiky je Králický Sněžník (1 424 m n. m.) ležící v severovýchodním výběžku kraje. Celá oblast Králického Sněžníku byla vyhlášena národní přírodní rezervací. Rozdíly v klimatických podmínkách uvnitř kraje souvisí s výraznými rozdíly nadmořských výšek. V severozápadní nížinné oblasti převažuje teplejší a sušší klima, směrem na východ a k jihu se podnebí mění v chladnější a vlhčí. Na základě údajů Českého hydrometeorologického ústavu dosáhla v letech 2000 – 2005 průměrná roční teplota vzduchu měřená v Pardubicích (stanice letiště; 225 m n. m.) 9,6 ºC; průměrný roční úhrn srážek činil 534,5 mm. V okolí Svratouchu (737 m n. m.) byla ve stejném období průměrná roční teplota vzduchu 6,7 ºC a roční úhrn srážek 804,9 mm.

  • Part II – Existing National Indicators Of
    Part IV – Case Study Reports 1. Introduction In this section, we complement the quantitative findings from Part III of this report by selecting ten regions for more in-depth qualitative research. Two primary criteria were employed in the selection of the regions. First, both ‘high QoG’ and ‘low QoG’ regions were intentionally selected. In several cases, such as Bolzano (IT), Västra Götaland (SE) and Pais Vasco (EP), Campania (IT), Norte (PT) and Severozapadan (BG), the regions were ranked on the relatively high or low end of the entire sample of 172 EU regions. In other cases, the regions demonstrated high or low QoG relative to their geographic position in the EU, such as Wallonie (BE), Nord Vest (RO), Estonia and Jihozapad (CZ). The general hope in this more qualitative part of the report was to corroborate the results of the survey data in Part III and to produce findings from both high and low QoG regions from which general advice for other regions can be deduced along with possible specific policy recommendations. Second, a fairly even distribution of EU-15 and New Member States (NMS) was selected. EU-15 regions come from Sweden, Italy, Belgium, Spain and Portugal, while the NMS regions come from Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech Republic and Estonia. This was done to acknowledge the diverse challenges that face regions in different parts of the EU and the relatively different levels of economic and political development observed among the cases. 2. Methodology of the Case Studies The ten case studies in this report follow the same methodology. First, each researcher was assigned a region and gathered background information on demographics, indicators of economic and social development, the EU’s recent impact, and the history and significance of the region.

  • Bratislava Region - Tomás Srnka
    Bratislava Region - Tomás Srnka Bratislava Region Regions—which are sometimes difficult to depict accurately on maps—may be based on economic activity, climate and topography, cultural history, or location relative to other regions. One region may be defined in terms of the vast desert that dominates its landscape, whilst another may exist because its residents follow a common religion and speak one language, or be dependent on a single agricultural crop. Many regions cross national borders, but others exist entirely within a single state. Despite the difficulties in defining regions precisely, they are extremely useful to geographers because they are based on the meaningful social, cultural, and economic factors that produce a distinctive geographic identity (referaty.sk). Since 1949, Slovakia has been divided into “kraje” (singular "kraj";translated as "Regions"). Their number, borders and functions have been changed several times. Every Regions has been devided in okresy (districts). There are currently 79 districts of Slovakia. Now, Slovakia has 8 Regions: 1. Bratislava Region (Bratislavský kraj) 2. Trnava Region (Trnavský kraj) 3. Trenčín Region (Trenčiansky kraj) 4. Nitra Region (Nitriansky kraj) 5. Žilina Region (Žilinský kraj) 6. Banská Bystrica Region (Banskobystrický kraj) 7. Prešov Region (Prešovský kraj) 8. Košice Region (Košický kraj) Bratislava Region - Tomás Srnka Before 1949, Slovakia was not devided into Regions, but into comitatuses (It was administrative unit in Hungary Kingdom from the 10th century to 1918) (wikipedia.org).
