European judicial systems Edition 2006 (2004 data)

[Recurso eletrónico] “In deciding “to develop the evaluation functions” of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) in the Action Plan adopted in Warsaw in May 2005, the Heads of State and government of the Council of Europe’s member states have expressed their support to the process setup by the CEPEJ and wish to strengthen it.
This exercise aims to have a detailed knowledge of the functioning of the justice system in all European states and has become the corner stone of the action of our Commission. Drawing lessons from the pilot exercise implemented in 2004 and wishing to develop the proper know how to, according to its Statute, “examine the results achieved by the different judicial systems (…) by using (…) common statistical criteria and means of evaluation”, the CEPEJ is delighted to offer this report to policy makers, judicial practitioners, researchers as well as all citizens who might be users of justice systems. These reports will be published regularly, thus enabling to assess the evolutions of the public services of justice for 800 million Europeans. It is indeed a unique process, built according to a specific methodology, to present the most detailed picture possible for comparing judicial systems of 45 European states. But what for?” [Retirado do Foreword de Eberhard Desch, Presidente do CEPEJ, e Guy De Vel, em CEPEJ (2006) – “European judicial systems Edition 2006 (2004 data)”. Bélgica.

Note d’analyse n° 99 «Quelle sécurité d’approvisionnement électrique en Europe à horizon 2030?»

[Recurso eletrónico] À l’horizon 2030-2035, des déclassements importants de puissance pilotable sont prévus en Europe (en Allemagne, la sortie du nucléaire est prévue avant 2022 et la sortie totale du charbon en 2038, la sortie totale du fossile et la réduction à 50 % du nucléaire en France, la sortie du fossile et du nucléaire en Belgique…). Des études d’adéquation détaillées ont été réalisées pour les cinq années à venir, mais généralement pas au-delà. C’est ce qui a motivé cette investigation et un calcul même simplifié, afin de déterminer si des marges négatives n’apparaissent pas, qui soient suffisamment importantes pour jeter le doute sur la couverture du risque pour tous les scénarios probabilistes.

Quelle sécurité d’approvisionnement électrique en Europe à horizon 2030?

[Recurso eletrónico] “Après qu’à l’automne le gestionnaire de réseau a mis en garde sur de potentielles difficultés d’approvisionnement en électricité en cas de grand froid cet hiver, la question d’éventuelles défaillances des systèmes électriques en Europe et en particulier en France a été remise dans le débat alors qu’elle avait quasiment disparu des préoccupations du grand public. Dans la prochaine décennie, les nombreux arrêts de centrales pilotables, au charbon ou nucléaires, actuellement programmés et dont les conséquences concrètes semblent assez peu intégrées dans le débat public, pourraient renforcer l’importance de cette question. L’objet de cette note d’analyse est de fournir quelques éléments permettant d’appréhender l’évolution de ces risques de défaillance afin d’engager à temps les politiques adéquates.”

International tax competitiveness Index 2020

[Recurso eletrónico] “The structure of a country’s tax code is an important determinant of its economic performance. A well-structured tax code is easy for taxpayers to comply with and can promote economic development while raising sufficient revenue for a government’s priorities. In contrast, poorly structured tax systems can be costly, distort economic decision-making, and harm domestic economies. Many countries have recognized this and have reformed their tax codes. Over the past few decades, marginal tax rates on corporate and individual income have declined significantly across the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Now, most OECD nations raise a significant amount of revenue from broad-based taxes such as payroll taxes and value-added taxes (VAT).”

Atlantic Core Network Corridor Study. Final Report. December 2014

[Recurso eletrónico] “Core network corridors should help to develop the infrastructure of the core network in such a way as to address bottlenecks, enhance cross-border connections and improve efficiency and sustainability. They should contribute to cohesion through improved territorial cooperation.This study aims to support the European Commission (DG-MOVE) in developing the work plan for the Atlantic Corridor, a diagonal corridor from Europe’s South-Western regions towards the centre of the EU that links the Iberian Peninsula ports of Algeciras, Sines, Lisboa, Leixões (Porto) and Bilbao through western France to Paris and Normandy and further east to Strasbourg and Mannheim. It covers rail, road, airports, ports, RRTs and the River Seine inland waterwayThe Atlantic Corridor has an important maritime dimension since it is linked to the crossroads of global maritime routes (via the Panama Canal and Straits of Gibraltar) notably toward North and South America, Neighbourhood countries and Africa; it is also endowed with high potential for deploying Motorways of the Sea and Short Sea Shipping as an alternative route to the inland backbone along the Atlantic coast.”

European system of accounts – ESA 2010

[Recurso eletrónico] “To achieve the objectives set by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and more specifcally on economic and monetary union, we need high-quality statistical instruments which provide the Union institutions, governments, economic and social operators, and analysts with a set of harmonised and reliable statistics on which to base their decisions and policy advice.Te new European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA 2010) is a major development of the previous version of 1995. Progress has been achieved in the harmonisation of methodology and in the precision and accuracy of the concepts, defnitions, classifcations and accounting rules which are needed to enable a consistent, reliable and comparable statistical description of the economies of the Member States and the Union itself. ESA 2010 contains new chapters on important subjects such as financial services measurement, pensions and insurance, European accounts and government accounts. Tere are also new chapters on generic issues such as the rest of the world account, links with business accounts, and satellite accounts, with illustrative examples.”

Policy Brief 11. Reforma da área do euro: comentário português a uma proposta franco-alemã

[Recurso eletrónico] “O presente policy brief apresenta alguns comentários construtivos à proposta franco-alemã de três economistas portugueses, Miguel Faria-e-Castro, Ricardo Reis e Ricardo Cabral. Foca-se em aspetos macro-financeiros desta proposta que têm em comum um elemento fundamental da política económica no Euro, a saber, a gestão da dívida pública no contexto do Euro, descentralizada na ausência de uma obrigação soberana comum na união monetária (ao contrário do que acontece nos EUA). São abordadas as recomendações para melhorar a regulação bancária (e o apoio ao setor bancário através de uma garantia de depósitos ao nível do Euro), a estabilidade nos mercados financeiros (através de um ativo seguro para a zona euro) e a gestão de crises financeiras (através de um mecanismo de reestruturação de dívidas pré-estabelecido). A relevância particular destes aspetos da proposta franco-alemã para o caso português, tendo em conta a dimensão dos desequilíbrios acumulados nos setores público e bancário durante o longo período de estagnação desde a entrada no euro (e a crise que se lhe seguiu), é evidente.”

Concatedral de Miranda do Douro

A Catedral de Miranda do Douro surge no decurso da criação da Diocese em Miranda do Douro e respetiva elevação da vila a cidade no ano de 1545. O projeto insere-se na tipologia de Sés mandadas construir por D. João III, cujo investimento se reflete na escala da edificação, que se destaca entre a restante malha urbana. Com traça de Gonçalo de Torralva e Miguel de Arruda, as obras tiveram início em 1552. Deste período chegou ao presente o corpo da igreja, pelo que a fachada que hoje observamos resulta de uma campanha construtiva posterior. Classificada como Monumento Nacional desde 1910, é o símbolo maior de Miranda do Douro.
