  • ADVANCE QUESTIONS to LIECHTENSTEIN- ADDENDUM DENMARK • Which Measures Is the Government of the Principality of Lichtenstein Ta
    ADVANCE QUESTIONS TO LIECHTENSTEIN- ADDENDUM DENMARK • Which measures is the Government of the Principality of Lichtenstein taking to counter the expanded activity of the right-wing extremists? • Which measures is the Government of the Principality of Lichtenstein undertaking to ensure effective strengthening of the “Office of Equal Opportunity” and its competencies? • Please specify the actions taken by the Principality of Lichtenstein in order to reduce trafficking of persons, e.g. cabaret dancers. GERMANY • In 2007 CEDAW expressed its concern about the persistence of traditional attitudes and stereotypes regarding the roles and responsibilities of women and men in family and society. It recommended in particular the extension of the present legislation regarding gender-based discrimination in the workplace, as included in the Gender Equality Act, to all spheres of life. How does the Principality of Liechtenstein intend to follow up on this recommendation? NETHERLANDS • In the school year 2007/2008 Liechtenstein introduced Islamic education in public primary schools. Previously Muslim parents could only send their children to a mosque for religious tuition. Could Liechtenstein elaborate on its first experiences in this regard and on further measures the government of Liechtenstein considers in order to stimulate integration in the educational process? • An important part of the population does not have the Liechtenstein nationality and is not entitled to participate in local politics. Does Liechtenstein consider this to be a potential problem and if so, does it see possibilities to increase the participation of minority groups in politics, for instance by granting long-term residents from other nationalities the right to vote at a local level? SWEDEN • Liechtenstein is a state party to CEDAW and its optional protocol and has taken national initiatives to promote gender equality.

  • LIECHTENSTEIN the 341 © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Malbun Triesenberg Schloss Vaduz Trail LANGUAGE: GERMAN LANGUAGE: „ Fürstensteig
    © Lonely Planet Publications 341 Liechtenstein If Liechtenstein didn’t exist, someone would have invented it. A tiny mountain principality governed by an iron-willed monarch in the heart of 21st-century Europe, it certainly has novelty value. Only 25km long by 12km wide (at its broadest point) – just larger than Man- hattan – Liechtenstein doesn’t have an international airport, and access from Switzerland is by local bus. However, the country is a rich banking state and, we are told, the world’s largest exporter of false teeth. Liechtensteiners sing German lyrics to the tune of God Save the Queen in their national anthem and they sure hope the Lord preserves their royals. Head of state Prince Hans Adam II and his son, Crown Prince Alois, have constitutional powers unmatched in modern Europe but most locals accept this situation gladly, as their monarchs’ business nous and, perhaps also, tourist appeal, help keep this landlocked sliver of a micro-nation extremely prosperous. Most come to Liechtenstein just to say they’ve been, and tour buses disgorge day- trippers in search of souvenir passport stamps. If you’re going to make the effort to come this way, however, it’s pointless not to venture further, even briefly. With friendly locals and magnificent views, the place comes into its own away from soulless Vaduz. In fact, the more you read about Fürstentum Liechtenstein (FL) the easier it is to see it as the model for Ruritania – the mythical kingdom conjured up in fiction as diverse as The Prisoner of Zenda and Evelyn Waugh’s Vile Bodies.

  • Operational Regulatory Relief by Greg Feldberg and Alexander Nye
    COVID-19 and Insurance (2 of 3): Operational Regulatory Relief By Greg Feldberg and Alexander Nye Original post here. Many insurance supervisors have provided temporary relief to help companies manage during the COVID-19 crisis. Most of this relief comes in the form of extended deadlines for submitting various reports or provisions that make remote compliance easier. Regulators have also suspended supervisory activities and loosened accounting rules. This blog discusses such measures. An earlier YPFS blog described similar regulatory relief measures that bank supervisors have taken during this crisis. 1. Extending deadlines At least 27 national and transnational insurance regulators extended insurers’ deadlines for submitting their regular supervisory reports, according to an April brief from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). For example, India’s insurance regulator provided extensions for submitting periodic compliance documents, providing a 30-day respite for filing half-yearly and yearly returns, a cyber security audit, and a “Board approved Final Re-insurance Programme.” The EU insurance regulator advised its member countries to provide companies with extended deadlines for 2019 annual reports, 2019 annual solvency and financial condition reports, and 2020 quarterly reports for Q1. It also called on insurers to publicize information on the effects of COVID-19 on their businesses. U.S. state insurance regulators have taken similar actions. For example, California’s regulator issued a 90-day deadline extension for insurers to file their 2019 annual statements, 2019 supplemental filings, and 2020 first-quarter filings. Regulators in at least six states issued similar policies. Several states also extended their deadlines for compliance with various licensing requirements; for example, with respect to continuing education.

The Nordic region is known for its ingenuity and know-how, but also for its relatively unique welfare systems. This, together with a low degree of corruption and a high degree of trust amongst the citizens for the state and business environment that work in tandem with it, provides a unique sphere that many non- Nordic corporations have already discovered. Despite the many similarities between Finland, Sweden and Denmark, both in terms of history and cultural values, there are notable differences when it comes to the approach taken to establish a business friendly environment. HR professionals and other individuals with a pan-Nordic responsibility need to be aware of these differences, as methods and practices that have proved to work perfectly in one country, might not work in another. The purpose of this brochure is to provide a quick overview of basic elements relevant for establishing and building your business in the Nordic region, including assisting in the process of deciding in which country to start.

    CRI (98) 23 ECRI's country-by-country approach: REPORT ON LIECHTENSTEIN Strasbourg, March 1998 Visit our web site : www.ecri.coe.int INTRODUCTION The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) was set up in 1994, at the instigation of the first Summit meeting of Heads of State and Government of the member States of Council of Europe, to combat the growing problems of racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and intolerance threatening human rights and democratic values in Europe. The members of ECRI were chosen for their recognised expertise in questions relating to racism and intolerance. The task given to ECRI was to: review member States' legislation, policies and other measures to combat racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and intolerance and their effectiveness; propose further action at local, national and European level; formulate general policy recommendations to member States; and to study international legal instruments applicable in the matter with a view to their reinforcement where appropriate. One aspect of the activities developed by ECRI to fulfil its terms of reference is its country-by-country approach, which involves carrying out an analysis of the situation in each of the member States in order to provide governments with helpful and concrete proposals. The procedure adopted for the preparation of country-specific reports can be summarised thus: a. The preliminary collection of information as well as the preparation of the texts of the preliminary draft reports are carried out in small working groups of ECRI. Preliminary sources of information used are wide- ranging, including, inter alia, replies provided by governments to a questionnaire sent out by ECRI, input from the relevant national members of ECRI, information on national legislation collected for ECRI by the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law1, information from international and national non-governmental organisations, various publications and the media.

  • An Analysis of Five European Microstates
    Geoforum, Vol. 6, pp. 187-204, 1975. Pergamon Press Ltd. Printed in Great Britain The Plight of the Lilliputians: an Analysis of Five European Microstates Honor6 M. CATUDAL, Jr., Collegeville, Minn.” Summary: The mini- or microstate is an important but little studied phenomenon in political geography. This article seeks to redress the balance and give these entities some of the attention they deserve. In general, five microstates are examined; all are located in Western Europe-Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican. The degree to which each is autonomous in its internal affairs is thoroughly explored. And the extent to which each has control over its external relations is investigated. Disadvantages stemming from its small size strike at the heart of the ministate problem. And they have forced these nations to adopt practices which should be of use to large states. Zusammenfassung: Dem Zwergstaat hat die politische Geographie wenig Beachtung geschenkt. Urn diese Liicke zu verengen, werden hier fiinf Zwergstaaten im westlichen Europa untersucht: Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino und der Vatikan. Das Ma13der inneren und lul3eren Autonomie wird griindlich untersucht. Die Kleinheit hat die Zwargstaaten zu Anpassungsformen gezwungen, die such fiir groRe Staaten van Bedeutung sein k8nnten. R&sum& Les Etats nains n’ont g&e fait I’objet d’Btudes de geographic politique. Afin de combler cette lacune, cinq mini-Etats sent examines ici; il s’agit de I’Andorre, du Liechtenstein, de Monaco, de Saint-Marin et du Vatican. Dans quelle mesure ces Etats disposent-ils de l’autonomie interne at ont-ils le contrble de leurs relations extirieures.
