WHY Andorra? Based on the experiences of many people who have already made Andorra their home, following a summary of the most common reasons for their decision to relocate: 1 2 1 / A safe country The Principality of Andorra is a safe place. With one of the lowest crime rates in Europe, most 3 expatriates, and especially those families with children, really appreciate the peaceful and calm environment. 4 2 / An enjoyable climate all year round 5 Andorra’s climate is Mediterranean, which means that it has 4 seasons with many sunny days per year, even during the winter season. 6 3 / An ideal location in Europe 7 Andorra’s location between France and Spain makes it a favourite place for European expats who want to be close to their home countries, close to lively cities such as Barcelona, Toulouse 8 or Girona, and also to the Mediterranean. 9 4 / Impressive landscapes and ski slopes Andorra is located in the Pyrenees, an environment of exceptional natural beauty. There are 10 valleys, rivers, and numerous lakes to be discovered on foot, on skis, or by bike. 11 12 5 5 / Cost of living Housing, education, healthcare, transportation, and shopping in general are not very expensive, making Andorra an affordable destination for a new life. 1 6 / Favourable taxes 2 Personal Income Tax is capped at 10%. Andorra’s agreements against double taxation also make the Principality an ideal location for those considering becoming an expatriate. 3 Corporate tax: there are many advantages that make the Principality an ideal place for starting a business, including: national insurance contributions of just 22%, no taxation of dividends, 4 and Income Tax on profits capped at 10%. 5 7 / Multicultural society Andorra is a multicultural society that includes Andorrans, Spaniards, French, Portuguese, 6 English, Germans, Dutch, etc. The official Language is Catalan but Spanish, French and Portuguese are frequently used. English is also widely spoken. 7 8 / Education System 8 Consistent with Andorra’s multicultural society, you will find a variety of education models.

After describing the Spanish socio-economic context, a comparative analysis is carried out based on the following indicators: the conception of severe, permanent disabilities; the regulation framework; responsibility of schooling and provision of services; identification and assessment of flaws; incidence in the population; curricular proposals (model and modalities of support); specific centers and units; human and material resources; the role of families and funding. The analysis of the implemented policies concludes by pointing out the challenges which should influence future improvements in order to accomplish real educational equality. Keywords: inclusive education, special education, severe disabilities, educational policies, Spain 1. Introduction Educational inclusion of students with special educational needs is one of the most fundamental reforms to have enriched the education system in recent decades.

  • 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.

We, as States Parties of the Chemical Weapons Convention, condemn in the strongest possible terms the use of a toxic chemical as a weapon in the Russian Federation against Alexei Navalny on 20 August 2020. 2. We welcome the assistance provided by the OPCW Technical Secretariat in the aftermath of Mr. Navalny’s poisoning. OPCW analysis of biomedical samples confirmed the presence of a cholinesterase inhibitor. We note that the cholinesterase inhibitor has been further identified as a nerve agent from a group of chemicals known as “Novichoks”. We have full confidence in the OPCW’s independent expert finding that Mr. Navalny was exposed to a Novichok nerve agent. We note with concern that a Novichok nerve agent was also used in an attack in the United Kingdom in 2018. These agents serve no other purpose than to be used as a chemical weapon. 3. Any poisoning of an individual with a nerve agent is considered a use of a chemical weapon.
