  • Luxembourg Report
    Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators 2009 Luxembourg report SGI 2009 | 2 Luxembourg report Executive summary During the last two decade’s rise in international financial markets, Luxembourg’s economy has grown more than the OECD average. In terms of GDP per capita, it has become the richest country in the world. This situation is not entirely the result of deliberate policy. Luxembourg has been constrained by the dictates of globalization and by the harmonization process within the European Union, but has nevertheless profited handsomely by creating a favorable environment for the establishment of foreign companies. Due to the country’s wealth, the government has often been tempted to try solving problems through increased spending on social programs. However, Luxembourg’s culture does not easily accept the loss of newly won rights. This makes it difficult for the government to return to a more moderate, or realistic, level of spending. More than most other industrial nations, Luxembourg benefits from a rejuvenating population, largely due to high rates of immigration. This phenomenon is even stronger within the economically active population, since many people work in Luxembourg but live across the border in France, Belgium or Germany. Approximately 41percent of wage-earners belong to this cross-border commuter category, and their number has steadily increased over the past decades. The social security system’s current equilibrium is dependent on growth in the number of members, and on their relative youth, which means the system will collapse if growth slows. In fact, studies have shown that in order to sustain the system an an annual growth rate of 4 percent of GDP and an annual job-growth rate of 2 percent must be maintained.

This deal, still known today as “the contract of the BELGIUM AND THE century” not only brought money and employment to the sector, but more importantly, the latest technology and AEROSPACE INDUSTRY know-how. The number of fighter jets bought by Belgium exceeded that of any other country at that moment, except for the United States. In total, 1,811 fighters were sold in this batch. 1.1 Belgium’s long history in the aeronautics industry This was good news for the Belgian industry, since there was Belgium’s first involvement in the aeronautics sector was an agreement between General Dynamics and the European related to military contracts in the twenties.

Email: [email protected] Abstract SABCA has designed electrical Thrust Vector Control (TVC) systems for the new VEGA-C launcher stages, based on the experience and lessons learned of the VEGA TVCs in operation since the first VEGA flight in February 2012. The paper presents the main drivers and lessons learned introduced in the design of this new generation of TVC systems. 1. Introduction The VEGA-C launcher, currently under development, is the evolution of the VEGA European launcher. It has been introduced to Increase performances, with a 2200 kg load capacity in LEO (a 700 kg increase with regard to VEGA) Reduce operating costs Reduce dependency on non-European sources Like VEGA, VEGA-C consists of 3 stages based on solid propulsion engines and a 4th stage based on a liquid propulsion engine. The first stage is based on the new P120C solid rocket motor, which is the largest monolithic carbon fibre SRM ever built. The P120C motor is also used as booster for the new Ariane 6 launcher, serving as a common building block for both launchers.

    How did Europe become an American turf? Bertrand M. Roehner, University of Paris 6 (UPMC: University Pierre and Marie Curie) Ramstein Air Base, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany (2014). 2 3 The United States has conducted nation-building operations since 1898 and does so in a uniquely American way. After defeating Spain in Cuba and routing their forces from the Philippines, the United States began nation- building efforts to establish democratic governments that were representa- tive of the populace. —Colonel Jayne A. Carson, Nation-building. The American way (April 2003) “We must contemplate an increase in the activity of the USIA [US Infor- mation Agency, created in 1953] and vastly increase exchange programs with the key population elements of the intelligentsia, the labor leaders and the newspaper leaders.” —Vice-President Richard Nixon, 366th National Security Council (22 May 1958) “If the proposed student and other groups which we are to organize in Latin America go out and fight for pro-American causes, we must avoid giving any over-emphasis to our policy of trying to keep Latin America as a safe preserve for US private enterprise and US private investment. We must rather go along with the sentiments of the people [even though] this may sound like promoting socialism.[...] We have been for some time promoting the development of a Common Market in Europe. Why could we not make a similar effort on behalf of a Common Market for Latin America?” —George Allen, head of the USIA, 366th National Security Council (22 May 1958) There is a strong family resemblance about the misdeeds, and if you have all the details of a thousand at your finger ends, it is odd if you can’t unravel the thousand and first.
