The salary supplements are paid within 12 months of the year, not being added to the remuneration of 13. º and 14. third month.

Canteen return to open in the summer to support needy students and … – The Associated Press

             

class=”module
                     
                 


class=”module
                     

             
 
                     

The summer holidays are no longer a period when the school canteens close their doors, and many worry that the cameras kept open to allow the neediest children at least one meal per day. But not only. In many cases, the aim is also to provide meals to children who participate in activities on vacation.


                 

                     The Council of Lisbon, for example, except August, remains in operation 89 school cafeterias, which are ongoing activities of the Components of Family Support (CAF), with more than five thousand children. The measure aims to address not only the needy students, but to all who wish to use the service. However, the town still bears the burden of meals for students with socio-economic deprivation.

In Maynooth, the municipality has opened 19 school cafeterias to serve children in Free Time Activities (ATL) and Activities Animation and Family Support while in Loures are four schools that will remain open in the summer canteens

In the municipality of Mafra, dining areas are open to all children and young people – all enrolled in programs of leisure activities can enjoy the service. Families are entitled to a full or partial reimbursement of the registration fee has been proved to socioeconomic deprivation.

at Torres Vedras, the Board, the parish councils and associations organize some activities for children and youth . In some there is a price reduction for needy students, for example, the program Time Vacations, which has had a membership of over 200 children and young people per week. Thus, they have access to a meal and the playful-educational activities.

Also in Swindon, under Holiday Fun programs, is available to the neediest families a package of activities including meals at relatively low prices and that, from the next interruption, will be free for those facing economic hardship.

A canteen Minho
In the district of Setúbal, in vacation work, in the county of Barry, four dining rooms, which provide a total of 40 meals. Montijo are working 12 cafeterias in elementary schools and one of an integrated school. The Board is prepared to provide meals in July 4500. Already in Palmela three dining halls are open during this month where 28 children lunch referenced by groups.

In the case of Sesimbra, the 22 schools in the county will keep the cafeterias open during the month of July, providing meals about 250 students. In August, the dining halls close their doors for the rest of the staff, but the council will deliver 300 baskets with food and other goods to some 150 families more carenciadas.No Santarém district, the municipality will ensure Almeirim lunch students more disadvantaged by 29 August. Meals are served in the school cafeterias of Ponds of Cortiçóis and Almeirim.

Further north, in the district of Porto, there are cameras that have opted to just quit during the month of August. In the municipality of Porto school canteens close doors on July 31 and reopen on September 1. For lunches under social support, families must enroll their children, but only a relatively small universe uses this aid.

In Matosinhos are running until July 31, and then from 1 September to the beginning of classes, 20 canteens, with 230 students enrolled (more than last year, they were 150). . The needy students eat lunch for free or pay what corresponds to the level of income

This Month in Maia are open 21 canteens within the family support component, benefiting 400 students; and Santo Tirso 26 canteens, serving 1200 students. As in previous years, the Board of Gaia continues to support students with meals during the holidays. This year will total 77 canteens running throughout the month of July. Within the district, only Amarante is a service of meals for 93 needy children. Minho only in Braga will run a school canteen, the school Maximimos in order to meet food needs, covering about 50 children.

In the district of Vila Real, Little Village Chamber of Aguiar holds the canteens of the two open school centers. The initiative is aimed at supporting families with difficulties and at the same time developing camps and temporary jobs for about 600 children and young people.


                 
 
                 
             

                 

Soon the batteries of smartphones can last up to three times … – TeK.sapo

batteries on smartphones and tablets have improved, but also other specifications have evolved a great pace, which always ends up conditioning the lifetime of the devices. Larger screens and more powerful processors suck all the extra space that manufacturers can impose on the batteries.
 

A group of researchers at Stanford University in the U.S. found a way to deal with this problem. What scholars have created is a new type of lithium battery that promises to last between two to three times more than current lithium ion manning phones and other devices.
 

How to explain Phys.org publication, currently the batteries are composed of three components: an electrolyte that provides the electrons flowing between the anode, which discharges the electrons, and the cathode, which receives electrons.
 

So far there is only lithium in the electrolyte, but the step taken will allow it to be possible in the future to create a pure lithium anode – which will ensure a great leap in the quality of the batteries.
 

Thanks to developments in the field of nanotechnology, researchers at Stanford have managed to create a way to maintain stable lithium at the anode, which is considered as the “Holy Grail” of batteries, explained one of the coordinators of research Yi Cui.
 

Not only loads of mobile phones will last longer, as the batteries can be smaller and lighter without compromising their autonomy.
 

But it is not only in the smartphones and tablets that the new discovery will have an impact. Gadgets in dressing, known as wearable, this will be an important step for their maturation. The new lithium batteries can also contribute to the development of electric cars, by creating vehicles with greater energy autonomy.
 

With the first steps towards the ideal batteries, will be a matter of time before the concept “go to practice.” However more tests and developments to be assessed the stability of the new technology will be needed.

Anacom will again reduce wholesale prices which telecoms operators charge competitors for terminating calls on their fixed networks. The reduction in tariffs of 39% will be revealed on Monday the regulator of the communications sector.


                 

                     According to the determination of ANACOM, which is under public consultation until 26 August, the rates will be fixed at 0.068 cents per minute after, in 2013, have already been reduced by approximately 80%.

As the mobile operators, the fixed wholesale prices have been falling in line with the guidelines of Brussels. The decline in wholesale prices of terminations is always a source of contestation by telecommunications companies because in the background represents a decrease of revenue they get whenever a customer of a competing network terminates a call in your network. In contrast, the costs incurred by the company whenever forwards traffic to a competing network also decrease.

With this decision “the conditions will be created for operators to reverberate this tariff reduction in the prices they charge to end users, “said the regulator in a press release.

The new termination price of 0.068 cents per minute” is a guided price for the costs of an efficient operator and results from the adoption of a new cost model defined by ANACOM “, in line with the 2009 recommendation of the European Commission, which aims to reduce terminations in the community space.

Anacom explains that last year termination rates were fixed due to an average of the rates in force in several European countries have applied a model similar to what was developed by ANACOM characteristics.

The new termination rates and the cost model will be available for public consultation until August 26. Thereafter shall be notified to the European Commission and, keeping the draft decision will enter into force 10 days after final decisions are taken.

Sardine is the queen of exports of canned – Público.pt

Exports of canned grew almost 17% between 2012 and 2013 totaled almost EUR 206 million in foreign sales, in which the protagonist is sardines.

                 

                     For the general secretary of the National Association of Manufacturers of Canned Fish (ANICP), Castro e Melo, the data is not a surprise because the industry has always been facing the export, which enabled him to mitigate the effects of the crisis. “Probably not suffered the effects that other sectors have suffered because it is an industry that has always been very devoted to exports. The industry retains Portuguese always lived, and still lives, in international markets. Exports to over 70 countries, long ago, “he said.

In 2013, exports of canned fish reached about 50 thousand tons (16.3% getting above the amount sold in previous) year and increased 15.7% in value, totaling 206 million euros, “one of the largest growths in recent years”, according to the head of ANICP.

Canned sardines represent about one third of this volume, having been exported about 18 tons in 2013 (9.8% more than the previous) with the value increasing to 84 million euros (18.3% more than in 2012), according with official statistics Datapescas.

Here are the tuna, with ten thousand tons in 2013, valued at 56 million euros, and then canned mackerel and mackerel, some of which were exported More than eight thousand tons (37 million euros).

Contrary to what happens in international trade in the internal market “80% or more of consumption” corresponds to canned tuna.

Castro Melo moves forward with an explanation: “Here in Portugal, the consumer usually has access to fresh sardines” and probably prefers fish prepared this way, because “a fish is easily accessible, which does not happen in other countries. “

The canning supplies are primarily sardines captured by national siege fleet, under normal conditions, but will get it to other countries where our species when it is scarce in Portuguese waters what has happened in recent years, said the secretary-general of ANICP.

Tuna is captured and imported “in various places”, with a “small part” from the Azores.

However, companies insist on looking for new markets. “Exports have increased for some Portuguese speaking countries, for example, that Angola, in 2012, was the first export market for canned outside the European Union,” said Castro e Melo. Now, “Brazil is a complicated market because it has many technical barriers.”

The head of ANICP said the Portuguese canning enter “very easily” in the Brazilian market “if everything ran normally”, but there are many obstacles to overcome. “As they are also producers of canned create many difficulties for the export of ours,” he said, listing charges, taxes and specifications that make it “too complicated”.

In the European Union, France, England and Italy are the main customers of Portuguese preserved.

“There is an aspect that has contributed to the growth that is called the ‘present health’,” said Castro e Melo, remembering that sardines, tuna and mackerel integrate groups so-called ‘blue fish’ (fish containing fats to be healthy).

In addition, the industry knew “modernize” and appeal to the tastes gourmet of new consumers with the help of chefs who also began to see preserved in the possibility of creating more elaborate dishes.

The turnover of the 21 industrial units in operation in mainland Portugal and the Azores, which employ between 3500 and 4000, currently amounts to around € 320 million.

Sausage tuna
Cofisa (Canned Fish Figueira da Foz) invested 1.2 million euros the development of a sausage tuna designed to attract younger consumers who value healthy eating. The product came to market just over one month after crossing a “slow and difficult” process to gain the desired consistency without compromising the taste of tuna, said the president of Cofisa, José Freitas.

The Minister of Education and Science, Nuno Crato, announced Thursday, in parliament, that the Portuguese State has agreed with the European Commission with funding from the Structural Funds thousand million by 2020 for science.

With the partnership agreement 2014/2020, reached between Portugal and the European Commission after “intensive negotiations and sometimes very difficult”, the Government intends to ensure funding for basic science, but also the “international competitiveness and scientific excellence” of research and development units and the “transfer of knowledge” for companies.

André Janeco also stressed the importance of knowing as the availability of funds will be announced, adding that sometimes, if there was talk “of numbers many millions” and then, at the time of tendering, what comes to effectively units and researchers “are trifles,” accused.

The Portuguese research units are to be subjected to an evaluation process that is taking place, and which has already deleted, the 2. third phase, almost half of the centers involved.

Lisbon Metropolitan Area with more spaces immigration … – The Associated Press

             
             

 
                     

Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML) differs, in socioeconomic terms, the Porto Metropolitan Area (AMP) by the existence of areas of immigration, while the North has more space with less urbanization, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE).

                 

                     In socio-economic typology of metropolitan areas of Lisbon and Porto, 2011, released on Thursday by the INE, the territory can be divided into the categories of qualified new consolidated unqualified “urban (sub) urban, (sub) urban spaces integrated lower density, lower density self-centered spaces and spaces of immigration. “

The differentiating the two areas is the greater presence of spaces immigration in Lisbon (12% vs. 02%) and less self-centered spaces density in Porto.

Spaces immigration concentrated foreign population and different religions, and usually tend to have a more aged buildings with overcrowded and rented accommodation.

According to INE, self-centered spaces of lower density have less population and buildings with seven or more households, there is a lower incidence of population belonging to more qualified socio-economic groups and with more schooling.

Between the years 2001 and 2011, the INE noted the expansion of (sub) urbanization qualified and the retreat of the (sub) urban unskilled in both territories, with the resident in (sub) urban population more than qualified to double and the other end to “decrease by more half. “

In AML, the extension of qualified suburbanization mainly covered the municipalities of Sintra, Cascais, Oeiras, Lisboa and also Seixal and Almada.

” In the city of Lisbon, we highlight the process of revitalization and urban renewal in the eastern area of ​​the city “, while the AMP this phenomenon focused on Matosinhos, Maia and Vila Nova de Gaia.

The heterogeneity is more pronounced in AML, given the “fairer territorial and population distribution between the various socio-economic classes in metropolitan Lisbon.”

The fragmentation of the territory in the Lisbon area shall be recorded, according to the document, the municipalities city ​​limits, to extend on the north bank of the Tagus, along roads and railways, as in lines of Sintra, Cascais and Azambuja.

On the south bank of the Tagus river, the INE highlighted the area between Almada and Montijo and the city of Setúbal.

Have the AMP, fragmentation is evident between the center-periphery opposition, “emphasizing the centrality of the city of Porto and a crown circumferential suburban sprawl that encompasses the . municipalities Matosinhos, Maia, Valongo, Gondomar and Vila Nova de Gaia “

In both spaces, the consolidated city-wide, the characterizations are similar: aged over territories, either in population or in buildings, being the most common Lonely elderly residents. There are even “bigger words” rented houses.

these traditional urban centers represents 17% of the population of AML, while the AMP that percentage is lower (10%).

” The municipalities of Lisbon and Setúbal, in AML, and the municipalities of Porto, Espinho and São João da Madeira, in AMP, exceeded its metropolitan average in terms of population relative importance of urban consolidation, “it reads.

Pd.id: the gadget that lets you know if your drink has drugs – Tech & Net

 
 
 
 


Pd.id is a new small gadget that allows the user to instantly know if drugs were introduced in your drink, such as drug violations.

This device analyzes a small sample of the drink and through two lights (red and green) indicates to the user if the drink is safe or not . Through its mobile application will get even more information, such as the type of beverage that is and if you find any illegal substance indicates that the substance is in the drink.

The application can also be used to update the database of the device, thus remaining always updated with new types of drugs that may be discovered.

“Despite being extremely advanced technologically, the pd.id is very easy to use. Simply immersed the device in seconds and the LED light will indicate if your drink has been changed or not. The pd.id was created with proven technology used by the DEA and the United States, “the company that developed the gadget.

Statistics claim that in North America, 1 in 4 women will experience sexual abuse during their lifetime and 25% of these incidents are facilitated by alcohol or drugs known as “rape drugs”.

The founder of the company that developed the pd.id David Wilson, a cancer survivor for more than 14 years after being diagnosed changed the course of his career, ranging from technology to nuclear medicine and has developed a new technology for tracking cancer.

What does “review” in the dictionary FCT – The Associated Press

             

class=”module
                     
                 

             
 
                     

Imagine that a teacher has a class of 20 students and everyone in improbable coincidence, are the level of Einstein. The teacher does not even know this genius but you know at the outset, before any test, which can only “spend” ten of their gifted students – rule that their students are unaware of and, indeed, until they were told they did not exist. That’s what made the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) to commission an international assessment of Portuguese research centers, establishing from the outset, in the contract for this task, half of the centers would not pass to the next stage of evaluation. And so, even those who had good chumbariam.


                 

                     FCT commissioned this work to a foreign organization, the European Science Foundation (ESF), for about 300 million euros. The previous review the research units of the country, in 2007, organized by the FCT itself cost 1.6 million euros.

Not being open to criticism, the 2007 assessment was serious. Evaluators visited the centers, scientists heard, seen and science that did a review of these cost money. The 2014 review was comparatively very cheap and gets to be easy to see why. Started from the assumption that half of the centers “chumbaria” in the first phase, as was determined in the contract between the FCT and ESF released on Friday (“the first phase of the review will result in a ‘shortlist’ half of the units . research that will be selected to proceed to Phase 2, “reads the document, which specifies a number of” approvals “: 163). Why then visit the centers in the first phase of the evaluation, and spend money on it, if half would have to be eliminated?

Both the ESF and the FCT (and even now the Ministry of Education and Science that guardianship) out rather badly in this “picture”. The FHS says in his site that is committed to the science in Europe is of high quality and among the services it provides are reviews (scientific projects and counterpart agencies in other countries FCT). How does an organization that says strive for scientific quality and want to continue to make assessments (through its successor), can be credible by accepting the outset to “order” the number of pre-decided by the FCT leads?

reviews tend to serve it yourself, evaluate. Before them, the “teacher” does not know the performance of their students. If the FTC wants to know the state of science in the country, to realize the true trend since the last review of 2007 would look at the results that were presented to him after the hearing on the ground. But not placed an order in which pre-defined results that this review should have.

This shows us that the FCT wanted to have a “scientific study” that found on the ground which meant it to be found . Thus, it could legitimize a policy you want to assign the bulk of the money for operation of research centers to a smaller group for, he says, reward “excellent” and “exceptional”. Instead of taking these cuts, we agree with them or not, could take refuge in this “review” for more of a “foreign” entity.

Between the mid centers left behind in the first phase of the evaluation (154 among 322 evaluated), the majority (83) had a rating of Good and have a reduced funding for recurrent expenditure. The other 71 ranked with Low Average or will not have any money. Ie having Good is no longer good, as was realized with the release of the results of the first phase of the evaluation at the end of June.

FCT has been toasting us with a new dictionary. Regulation in this review, we still know that the centers that reached the second round – 168 and are therefore above Good – can now be classified as Low, Average, Good, Very Good, Excellent or Outstanding. A center that ensured at least one Very Good, to proceed to the second phase of the review, can now come to be Insufficient. Ie have Very Good Poor. ? Confused

With the revelation of the content of the contract between the FCT and ESF, we learned that the dictionary FCT now has another new word:. Assessment no longer means assessment

According

source of the territorial command of the GNR of Viana do Castelo, the accident occurred at about 5:15 on Avenida 25 de Abril, near the Carmo Church, in the city center, when the truck carrying the Enercon wind component factory in North beach, sea port city.

According to the same source, the clash with the train that had just left the station Viana Castle to Porto, happened “when the truck described a curve, it seems due to a calculation error in the trajectory due to the length of the equipment.”

“In this part of town has the truck that circulate in the opposite direction in order to describe the curve. At that time a part of the rotor blade of a wind tower invaded the railway line and just then circled the train from 5:11 am to Porto, who clashed with that wind component “maintained the source.

At the time of the crash, according to the GNR, the train carrying the driver and another employee of the CP,” but no one was injured. “

” There is only property damage and record on the train and shovel, which had to be cut to be unhooked from the train, “said the GNR.

The traffic in that part of town has been cut in both directions for about 45 minutes to a crane that could replace the rotor blade back in the truck to be sent to the factory for repair.

The train ended up being on the move so that “all the conditions were ensured security”.

multinational Enercon subconcessionados land occupied since 2005 by the Naval Shipyards in Viana do Castelo (ENVC) where installed one of two industrial poles holding in Viana do Castelo for the production of wind turbines and other components, employing over 1,400 people in five factories.

The German group has no means of lifting themselves, a situation which the company admits hinder “export logistics” of wind components produced in five plants the German group settled in Viana do Castelo .

There is much that the group has been demanding the use of a crane located in Viana yards, inoperative for several years, but without result.

In the absence of lifts, the multinational company is required to make road transport from inside the urban area to the south bank, where the commercial port is installed, of all cargo destined for export transactions arising during the night or early morning, accompanied by the GNR to ensure safety road.

Coral reefs in the Caribbean have halved in the last … – The Ball

Coral reefs in the Caribbean decreased by nearly half in the last 50 years. Storms, algal growth and the impact of human activity are among the causes for the reduction

The conclusion is a group of researchers from several countries, who prepared the study ‘Coral Reefs of the Caribbean. 1970-2012 ‘.

The study warns that if action is not taken within twenty years there will remain not many reefs in the area.

The Caribbean reefs generate more than three billion dollars ( EUR 2.2 billion) in the fishing and tourism activities.

According to Jorge Cortés, researcher at the Centre for Research in Marine Sciences of the University of Costa Rica, quoted by EFE , catching fish that eat algae threatens the survival of corals.

The factor that join the ‘sediments, due to deforestation, changes to the coast for the construction and contamination’ reasons which ‘the corals die. “

Experts argue, therefore, measures for the protection of fish, such as the prohibition or limitation of certain types of fishing gear.

Court compels the Wage Guarantee Fund to pay debt … – The Associated Press

             

class=”module
                     
                 


class=”module
                     

             
 
                     

Administrative and Fiscal Court (TAF) Almada gave reason to a worker Novopca declared insolvent company and initiated a recovery plan, forcing the Wage Guarantee Fund (SGF) to pay him labor missing credits . In the ruling, the first of several cases brought to court, the court believes that it is important to “insolvency be recognized by the courts, either involving or recovery.”


                 

                      The sentence comes at a time that unions have condemned the management of FGS refuses to pay wages and other credits to employees of companies that have recovery plans to run in the courts – is under insolvency proceedings or Special Process Revitalization (PER), created in 2012 as an alternative to bankruptcy court. The insolvency practitioners, which accompany these processes, fear that these refusals lead workers to vote against recovery of businesses and increase bankruptcies.

In the sentence to which the public had access, court goes further and warn that the interpretation of services makes “potentially useless” the objective of the fund created to pay off debts to employees when companies are in financial trouble or encase doors. The arguments TAF Almada were not disputed by the Financial Management Institute of Social Security, responsible for managing the fund, which chose not to appeal the decision.

At issue is an employee of the construction company Novopca declared insolvent in May 2011 and was subsequently the subject of a recovery plan approved in January 2012. Worker presented in July 2011, an application to the FGS to receive unpaid wages and severance pay. The answer came in December of that year:. Request was rejected because “the credits required to FGS will be dissolved by the approval of the recovery plan for the company”

TAF Almada remember that protection of claims workers in the event of insolvency is a state obligation via a European directive 2008. alert and that the use of FGS “can not be held hostage to the decisions of creditors of insolvent companies.”

And alert that, in this case, the company has not paid workers and that even if it had, the FGS would have limited the forward part of the credits, becoming a creditor of the company. If the understanding of the fund manager, the Financial Management Institute of Social Security, was adopted, adds “workers could be irreparably penalized and disadvantaged” because the FGS “moved away before the mere promise to pay, embodied in any plan insolvency, would render useless the system introduced. “

The financial situation of Novopca came to confirm, moreover, that the fact that a plan approved payments does not mean that the situation of workers be safeguarded. The plan was not fulfilled and lenders required a PER for the company, the court recently decided not to approve.

TAF believes that after a court declared the insolvency of a company, the FGS “should decide 30 days after the request of the employee, whether at a later time come to be any insolvency plan approved. ” This decision gives some encouragement to the other ten employees of the company also filed claims against the fund and will eventually help clarify the understanding that the services and the Ministry of Employment itself have these situations.

Jorge estimated , lawyer who has some of the cases at hand, remember that the FGS “never distinguished between the processes with the insolvency plan and those declaring bankruptcy,” adding that the processes mediated by Iapmei, the FGS also pays credit to workers. It is a paradox, since these latter processes is also agreed a payment plan with creditors, although for such procedures.

Pottery Valadares, declared insolvent in 2012, is another case that is divide workers and FGS. The delay in the fund to 318 requests responses was the subject of a formal inquiry sent by the Ministry of Employment PCP in April 2014.’s Answer came in early July. The Chief Cabinet Minister Pedro Mota Soares undertook to require more speed services. However, justified the delays with a very similar argument to that used for the background Novopca. As approved under the insolvency plan “perspective is” the payment of all claims, such “determine the rejection of applications.” So reads the letter, “it was understood not prioritize the consideration of the appeal.”

The ruling highlighted how positive note that some associations “have recognized that there was some surprise in these numbers,” since would not, “until now, the notion that the business sector has to represent that wage gap between men and women.” In this sense, they can now identify what should be done in their sectors.

“What we hope is that you do not have to be the government to do everything, do not even have to be on the government to do what is more important, since it is an initiative of the enterprises themselves, it is not subject to mandatory government intervention, and therefore are the very companies that have taken this task at hand, “he said.

“I must say, and here it was recognized by the social partners, that this is an area that is in your hands do what needs to be done on these differences,” since “each sector and each social partner “have” here the possibility to analyze specifically what are the wage differences that still practice their sector, “said Teresa Morais.

” So, here is necessarily a proactive and a need to boost and initiative by the associations themselves, including business associations, who have truly hands to solve this problem, “he continued. Asked if the employer partners were available to take this forward, the official said. “It seemed to me that were available to make this approach”

The government has already identified, however, some changes may be made. Teresa Mitchell recalled a measure which is already included in a resolution of the Council of Ministers of March and that “determines that firms that have higher levels of wage equality will have a positive rating in accessing EU funds for cohesion policy”. “This means that from the new framework, the candidates for EU funds companies see their situation positively valued if they have higher levels of wage equality, which means that will be an advantage over the other,” he explained.

addition, the Government is to “change the rules of the Equality is Quality Award”, awarded to two companies in two years. With the scenario identified in the report, “can not continue to distinguish companies that do not result from its practice respect for the principle of equal pay, in addition to being also contemplated this change the need to have women on their boards of directors” , advanced to the secretary of state

According to Teresa Society, the study will now be distributed to experts from academia to which it might “result in recommendations to the partners on practices” to promote.

Increase the minimum wage should have no significant effect on the wage gap between men and women

The minimum wage increase is not part of today’s meeting agenda, still ongoing. However, journalists wondered if the rise in the minimum guaranteed return could have some effect in reducing the wage gap between men and women. In response, Teresa Morais said that, “surprisingly”, the wage gap was recorded in higher wages “is precisely the lower wage levels they are more egalitarian, the difference increases as one moves up the scale of remuneration and therefore I do not think the effect was very significant there, “forward.

The social partners are currently making the current situation of the Wage Guarantee Fund and the active employment measures. The meeting only with the presence of various secretaries of state.
