The Commission concluded that the restructuring plan of HRE and its core bank pbb Deutsche Pfandbriefbank (pbb) is liable to restore pbb's long-term viability while ensuring that the bank and its former owners adequately contribute to the restructuring costs and that the distortions of competition created by the aid are mitigated. All business activities of the HRE group will be phased out, except for the activities of pbb. At the end of 2011, pbb's adjusted balance sheet size will be around 85% smaller than HRE group's balance sheet size at the end of 2008. This will adequately address the distortions of competition created by the massive state support received by the German banking group during the financial crisis. Commission Vice President in charge of competition policy Joaquín Almunia said: "Today's decision brings one of the most significant financial crisis state aid cases to a constructive close. HRE and its core bank pbb Deutsche Pfandbriefbank are significantly downsizing to limit the competition distortions caused by the huge state support they needed to survive the crisis. The restructuring plan seeks to ensure that the serious liquidity problems which threatened HRE's existence some years ago cannot be repeated, so as to ensure the future viability of pbb." The cornerstones of the restructuring plan are: - Only the core bank pbb will be active in the markets; with two strategic business lines: real estate finance and public investment finance, both targeting assets eligible for German covered bonds, either in the form of mortgage or of public sector bonds. All other activities, in particular budget finance, infrastructure finance, capital markets and asset management activities, will be phased out. - The other main subsidiary of HRE Holding, DEPFA Bank plc., is to be run- down and will not generate any new business. - Impaired assets transferred to HRE's winding-up institution FMS-WM (FMS Wertmanagement AöR) will be wound down. - pbb's future activities are of considerably smaller scale than HRE's activities before the crisis, in terms of balance sheet size, volume of new business, workforce, branch network and geographical scope. - pbb will carry out its activities based on a stable funding approach and improved internal control systems. PUB01B58-P IP/11/898 2 PUB00431-001 The Commission found the restructuring aid to be in line with its guidelines on restructuring aid for banks (see IP/09/1180) and its guidance for the treatment of impaired assets (see IP/09/322); subject to the implementation of the restructuring plan and the fulfilment of the commitments provided by Germany regarding HRE's restructuring. Background In September 2008, HRE faced a severe liquidity shortage after the interbank lending markets dried up in the aftermath of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. Subsequently, HRE benefitted from nearly €10 billion of capital from Germany (FMS-WM, the winding-up institution of HRE, is recipient of a part of that capital). In addition Germany provided liquidity guarantees of €145 billion. HRE also benefitted from an asset relief measure, provided by Germany, with an aid element of about €20 billion. HRE was nationalised by Germany in 2009. On 1 April 2009, the German authorities notified the first version of the restructuring plan for HRE. On 7 May 2009, the Commission opened an in-depth investigation because it had doubts about the bank's viability and the adequacy of the measures aimed at burden sharing and minimising distortions of competition (see IP/09/712). The in-depth investigation was extended on 13 November 2009 (see IP/09/1708) and again on 24 September 2010 (see IP/10/1172), in order to cover additional aid measures. The restructuring plan of 1 April 2009 was finally updated on 14 June 2011. The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.28264 in the State Aid Register on the DG Competition website once any confidentiality issues are resolved. New publications of State aid decisions on the internet and in the Official Journal are listed in the State Aid Weekly e-News.

GDP is projected to contract by 8.3 per cent (GNP by 9.2 per cent) this year. This is one of the most negative set of forecasts, although the projections are not dissimilar to the Departments forecasts which underpin the Budget. A further year of small negative growth is expected next year. The Institute make a number of comments on fiscal policy, most of which are positive. In relation to banking developments, the Institute indicate that it is too early to comment with certainty as to whether Government policy with respect to NAMA is appropriate.

  • Chapter 2 Elections and Political Communication Donnacha Ó
    Chapter 2 Elections and political communication Donnacha Ó Beacháin Election campaigns are sporadic events during which the apathy that the non- participatory political system engenders has to be momentarily surmounted to inject renewed legitimacy into the system of organised political parties. How the citizenry are to be motivated to mobilise from their habitual passivity depends on the quality and quantity of political communication with the electorate. In short it is influenced, if not determined, by the character of the election campaign. This chapter provides a brief introduction to how those competing for votes have communicated with the Irish electorate since the foundation of the state. Campaign slogans, techniques and candidates As the revolutionary generation that had monopolised political power for the first four decades of independence exited the political stage during the 1960s, prospective candidates for election had to find new ways of getting on the ticket. For those not part of a political dynasty forged during the formative years of the state, sport proved another way of coming to the attention of the electorate, and the party leaderships. The 1965 general election returned 17 former Gaelic games stars (Whyte, 1966, 31) but a focus on GAA luminaries provides only a partial picture of the influence of the organisation. Brian Farrell (1971, 321–22) has noted that the 1969 election returned in addition to 15 GAA ‘stars’ four GAA county officials and another 25 deputies who had been or continued to be active within the GAA as players or officials. The most significant figure of this new generation was Jack Lynch, who governed Ireland for 43 most of the period spanning the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, and whose complete lack of a political pedigree was compensated for by having won six All-Ireland hurling and football medals.

Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he has discussed progress on the Irish Language Act with the Northern Executive and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44891/12] 17/10/2012WRA00500Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (Deputy Eamon Gilmore): All parties to the Good Friday Agreement recognised the importance of respect, understanding and tolerance in relation to linguistic diversity, including in Northern Ireland, the Irish language and the languages of the various ethnic communities, as part of the cultural wealth of the island of Ireland. In the St Andrews Agreement, the British government committed to introducing an Irish Language Act reflecting on the experience of Wales and Ireland and to working with the Execu- tive to enhance and protect the development of the Irish Language. It also called on the incoming Northern Ireland Executive to work to enhance and protect the development of the Irish language. The British legislation giving effect to the St. Andrews Agreement included a specific requirement on the Executive to adopt a strategy setting out how it proposed to enhance and protect the development of the Irish language. Since the restoration of the devolved Institutions on 8 May 2007, the question of an Irish Language Act for Northern Ireland is a devolved matter and is the responsibility of the North- ern Ireland Executive.
