☆ Salty, Sweet, Bitter and More, Vermouth Is a Taste of Madrid in a Glass
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-16 | by ( Danielle Pergament | Emilio Parra Doiztua | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Before I moved to Spain, I knew of two types of vermouth: white and red. Vermouth is to Spain what a pint is to Ireland or mate is to Argentina — a national pastime. Historically, people drink vermouth on Sunday mornings after church. In fact, it’s so stitched into the culture that “fer un vermut” (“to do a vermouth”) is an expression that doesn’t even require you to order vermouth. It means, let’s meet for a drink in the middle of the day (another culinary surprise).

☆ Ferrovial says Dutch relocation could damage brand in Spain

MADRID, June 15 (Reuters) - Ferrovial's (FER.MC) decision to move its holding company to the Netherlands to try to speed up a U.S. listing could have an adverse impact on its brand in Spain, the company said in a document published on Thursday. The operation "could potentially have a negative impact on its brand in Spain, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the group's competitive position," it said. The reverse merger, under which its Dutch subsidiary Ferrovial International SE (FISE) has absorbed holding company Ferrovial, was fully completed on Thursday. In the website prospectus, Ferrovial said Spanish tax authorities could decide the merger falls outside a special tax regime for holding companies that allows dividends and capital gains from the transfer of shares from subsidiaries to be exempt from taxation. Ferrovial on Thursday had no comment beyond the published document.

☆ Ferrovial shareholders vote on Dutch move in possible prelude to U.S. listing
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Corina Pons | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

MADRID, April 13 (Reuters) - Ferrovial (FER.MC) shareholders vote on Thursday on a plan to move the Spanish construction group's holding company to the Netherlands, paving the way to a listing in the U.S. and potentially access to subsidies available there. The government fears more companies could follow suit and argues that a full U.S. listing is perfectly possible for a Spain-based company, although there are no such precedents. The move must be approved by a majority of shareholders to go ahead in a meeting that starts at midday (1000 GMT). Several investment funds have said they will vote in favour and two independent proxy advisers recommended backing the move. Ferrovial also wants to approach institutional funds in the U.S. willing to buy stakes if it gets a listing there.

☆ UK regulator tells Heathrow to cut fees in win for airlines

[1/2] A worker sanitises a barrier at the International arrivals area of Terminal 5 in London's Heathrow Airport, Britain, August 2, 2021. The lower fees will boost airlines such as IAG's (ICAG.L) British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, two of Heathrow's biggest, making the airport cheaper for them. They have long complained that fees at Heathrow, the busiest airport in western Europe, are the highest in the world. The strong bounceback in travel since the lows of the pandemic prompted the CAA to reduce the fees Heathrow can charge in the coming years. Improved forecasts for passenger numbers this year and next year mean Heathrow will be able to generate higher revenue, said the CAA, which uses passenger numbers to calculate the charges.

Jan 3 (Reuters) - U.S. tech giant Microsoft (MSFT.O) has commissioned Spain-based infrastructure company Ferrovial (FER.MC) to build a data centre near the Spanish capital, the Cinco Dias newspaper reported on Tuesday. While the amount has not been disclosed, Cinco Dias cited unidentified sources close to the matter as saying the contract could be worth several hundred million euros, as Microsoft plans a number of investments worth more than 12 billion euros ($12.75 billion) across 17 regions in Europe. The data centre is set to be built in San Sebastian de los Reyes, a city with a population of about 90,000 some 20 km (12 miles) north of Madrid. Microsoft is planning another two projects in the Madrid region with the aim of developing cloud services such as Azure, Power Platform, Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365, Cinco Dias said.

They told the state they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional." The California High-Speed Rail Authority continues to build: The first section of the rail is under construction in Central California.

Angajații unei companii de metale feroase și neferoase au scandat lozinci antiguvernamentale în fața Executivului de la Chișinău. Oamenii au ieșit la protest după ce, acum 4 zile, la ședința Guvernului, prim-ministrul Ion Chicu a cerut poliției să verifice activitatea companiei respective. Mai mult decât atât, premierul a comparat unul din punctele de colectare a metalului cu o gunoiște. VALENTIN EȘANU, ANTREPRENOR: „Prim-ministrul Chicu a dat indicații clare pentru a ne stopa activitatea și pentru a ne fabrica dosare. Am încercat să obținem un răspuns de la consilierul Guvernului responsabil de comunicare, Boris Harea, însă acesta ne-a expediat ca răspuns secvență video de mai sus, înregistrată la ședința Guvernului de pe 5 noiembrie.

☆ Чиновники партии Додона только в одном районе отмыли 3 миллиона леев из бюджета

Причем фирмы принадлежат самим советникам районного совета Рышкан, уточнил Виктор Богатько. И все они имеют отношение к советникам Рышканского райсовета. Через эти четыре фирмы за последние 9 месяцев 2020 года было проведено транзакций на 3 млн леев, абсолютно все – без проведения тендеров. В результате узаконенных схем сложилась ситуация, при которой автомобили райсовета должны ездить за 15 км чтобы заправиться именно на той заправке, с которой заключён договор. "Такие действия попадают под компетенцию Национального органа по неподкупности", – констатировал Виктор Богатько.
