    Brussels, 12 October 2016 Case No: 78795 Document No: 799735 Decision No: 183/16/COL EEA Coordination Unit Austrasse 79 9490 Vaduz Liechtenstein Dear Dr Andrea Entner-Koch, Subject: Letter of formal notice to Liechtenstein concerning the Trademark Act 1. Introduction 1. By letter dated 14 March 2016, the EFTA Surveillance Authority (“the Authority”) informed the Liechtenstein Government that it had received a complaint regarding Article 39 of the Liechtenstein Trademark Protection Act (Article 39 MSchG).1 According to the complainant, the legislation referred to above constitutes a restriction to the freedom to provide services. 2. After examination, the Authority considers: first, that a lawyer who is an EEA national and provides cross-border services in Liechtenstein in trademark matters for clients established outside the EEA cannot be required to be authorised in Liechtenstein, taking into account the principle of the freedom to provide services and more specifically Directive 2006/123/EC2 (“the Services Directive”) and Directive 77/249/EEC3(“the Lawyer Directive”); second, that the obligation placed on the participant in trademark proceedings, who has neither a domestic residence or domicile nor an establishment within the country, to designate a person authorised to accept service in Liechtenstein for any necessary exchange of correspondence with the Liechtenstein authorities and other parties, amounts to an indirect discrimination on grounds of nationality which is prohibited under Article 4 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (“the EEA Agreement”). Alternatively, the Authority concludes that such provision of 1 Markenschutzgesetz, MSchG, LR 232.11. 2 Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market, OJ L 376, 27.12.2006, p.

Consequently, a coherent European ecological network (Natura 2000) for conservation of natural habitats and the wild fauna and flora (Council Directive 92/43/EEC) was created. Even so, there is currently no standardized methodology for surveillance and assessment of habitats, a lack that it is particularly problematic for those habitats occupying large areas (heathlands, forests, dunes, wetlands) and which require a great deal of effort to be monitored.

Oct. 2021 Event-related Exchange Rate Forecasts Combining Information from Betting Quotes and Option Prices Michael Hanke, Rolf Poulsen, and Alex Weissensteiner∗ Abstract Betting quotes provide valuable information on market-implied probabilities for outcomes of events like elections or referendums, which may have an impact on exchange rates. We generate exchange rate forecasts around such events based on a model that combines risk-neutral event probabilities implied from betting quotes with risk-neutral exchange rate densities extracted from currency option prices. Its application to predict exchange rates around the Brexit referendum and the U.S. presidential elections shows that these forecasts – conditional on the respective outcomes – were accurate, and markets were able to separate their views on the likelihood and the impact of these events. ∗Hanke (corresponding author), [email protected], University of Liechtenstein, Institute for Fi- nance, 9490 Vaduz, Liechtenstein; Poulsen, [email protected], University of Copenhagen, Department of Mathematical Sciences, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark; Weissensteiner, [email protected], Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, School of Economics and Management, 39100 Bozen, Italy.

  • 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.

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.

Dazu tragen Gegebenheiten wie die Landschaft bei, die Topographie, die Gewässer, die Fauna und die Flora sowie alles, was uns «von Haus aus» zur Verfügung steht. Entscheidend ist aber vor allem, was wir aus dem machen, was uns die Natur schenkt. Welchen Wohnraum schaffen wir? Welche Infrastrukturen wie Strassen, Wege oder Freizeitstätten bauen wir? In welchen Bereichen setzen wir wirtschaftliche Schwerpunkte? Wie gestalten wir unser Zentrum, wie unsere Naherholungsräume? Wir alle arbeiten täglich an unserem Lebensraum. Es werden Häuser gebaut, sichtbare und unsichtbare Infrastrukturen wie Wasser- oder Kanalisationsleitungen erstellt, Rahmenbedingun- gen geschaffen und Lenkungsmassnahmen getroffen. Alle Mitarbeitenden der Gemeinde Vaduz in den verschiedensten Bereichen tragen einen wesent- lichen Teil zu dieser Gestaltung bei. Die Politik, aber auch jeder Einzelne von uns sind somit permanent gefordert, unseren Lebensraum zu gestalten.

  • Sean Scully, 1945 —
    Sean Scully, 1945 — Sean Scully (b. 1945, Dublin, Ireland) is an American-Irish artist who is internationally recognised for his distinctive abstract compositions that interrogate the properties of light, colour and form. Scully studied painting at Croydon College of Art, London and Newcastle University, UK, where he began to work in abstraction. During a trip to Morocco in 1969, Scully was strongly influenced by the local textiles and rich colours of the region, which he translated into the broad horizontal stripes and deep earth tones that characterise his mature style. Scully’s travels throughout Morocco and Mexico would also prompt his decision to move from Minimalism to a more emotional and humanistic form of abstraction. Following fellowships in 1972 and 1975 at Harvard University, Scully’s paintings became increasingly monumental and sculptural, consisting of interconnected three-dimensional panels that anticipated his later sculpture practice. In 1984 he began to develop the Wall of Light series, replacing the precise stripes of his early paintings with solid blocks of colour, built with increasingly loose and feathered brushstrokes into vertical and horizontal ‘bricks’ that suggest a wall of stone. Subtle differences in colour in the paintings indicate the location in which they were created, the changing seasons and the artist’s own emotions. This series formed the subject of a major touring exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 2007. In 1984 Scully achieved international breakthrough through his inclusion in the major group exhibition An International Survey of Recent Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
