BERLIN, June 22 (Reuters) - Brexit has been an "economic disaster" for trade and investment ties between the United Kingdom and Germany, leading to a fall in German direct investment and seeing the UK decline in importance as a trading partner, German economists said. "Brexit is an economic disaster for both sides of the channel," Volker Treier, head of foreign trade at the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), told Reuters on Thursday. According to the DIHK, some 2,163 German companies are now active in the UK, 5.2% fewer than in 2016. Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI), an organisation that helps international companies set up business in Germany, has counted more than 1,000 new businesses from the UK since the Brexit vote. Germany's size and central location are an advantage when it comes to attracting UK companies, he added.

Berlin has agreed subsidies worth nearly 10 billion euros with the U.S. chipmaker, a person familiar with the matter said, more than the 6.8 billion euros it had initially offered Intel to build two leading-edge facilities in the eastern city. "Today's agreement is an important step for Germany as a high-tech production location – and for our resilience," Scholz said after Monday's signing. Globally, semiconductor manufacturing is expected to become a trillion-dollar industry by 2030, expanding from $600 billion in 2021, according to McKinsey. Initially, Intel wanted to invest 17 billion euros in the Magdeburg plant, an amount that has nearly doubled to more than 30 billion. About 7,000 construction jobs will be created in the first expansion, plus around 3,000 high-tech jobs at Intel and tens of thousands of jobs across industry, the U.S. chipmaker said.

☆ Noul Cod al Audiovizualului între „antipropagandă” și libertate de exprimare
▼ + stars: | 2016-07-26 | by ( ) www.zdg.md time to read: +9 min

Prevederile noului Cod al AudiovizualuluiProiectul noului Cod al Audiovizualului a fost votat în primă lectură pe 1 iulie, după mai bine de un an de la depunerea iniţiativei legislative în Parlament. Asta ar însemna interzicerea retransmisiei canalelor din Federaţia Rusă, deoarece aceasta nu a ratificat Convenţia respectivă. Iulia Semionova, preşedinta Asociaţiei Jurnaliştilor de Limbă Rusă din R. Moldova, a comunicat, printr-o declaraţie a organizaţiei, că modificările adoptate reprezintă un gest neprietenesc faţă de Federaţia Rusă, care, prin vizita vicepremierului Dmitri Rogozin, s-a arătat deschisă cooperării şi restabilirii bunelor relaţii cu R. Moldova. În acest sens, Nadine Gogu şi-a exprimat suspiciunea că aceste consultări s-au făcut doar pentru bifă, pentru a mima transparenţa. La acest moment, în R. Moldova sunt 68 de televiziuni, iar 2/3 din posturile audiovizuale străine difuzate pe teritoriul ţării sunt din Federaţia Rusă.
