Viele Deutsche machen jedes Jahr Urlaub in Österreich. Da scheint es gut an den Beziehungen der Länder zu arbeiten und sich nicht darauf zu verlassen, dass dies alles so bleibt.
Immer wenn ich im Ausland Urlaub mache, lese ich die Zeitungen des Landes. Das fällt naturgemäß in Österreich besonders leicht. Wenn ich aber in Tirol die Tiroler Tageszeitung hit, I think at least every other day criticism of Germany or the Germans. This may not be reversed to be different in Bavaria. But I believe from experience, many Austrians and their institutions are looking to strengthen their Austrian identity, including by rubbing their big neighbor to the same language. Naturally, it would be if you need a valve to masses of German tourists to almost every season in the winter sports resorts, the province of Salzburg or endure the Carinthian lakes.
But how is the balance Austria-German relations, as it appears to the German tourists?
First is as the road toll, according to its tariff system to tourists and thus primarily aimed at German. They want to cash in, for which the most meticulous control talks.
If you do in Tirol vacation, we say in Leutasch Seefeld or falls on, that the estimated number of German motorists difference is skimmed off at the petrol prices in half by the local gas stations. Only in Innsbruck you can be sure to fill up on Austrian prices.
applies its laws to Austria, to foreigners. This could be called normal. But what about the delicate subject of organ removal. It can be very stand up for organ donation, muss ein Land jedoch die Möglichkeit auf der Grundlage seines Krankenanstaltengesetzes von 1982, Organe und Gewebe nach dem Tod zu entnehmen, auch bei ausländischen Touristen einfordern? Dem kann man nur vorbeugen, wenn man sich in einem Widerspruchsregister beim ÖBIG eintragen lässt und diesen Hinweis immer bei sich trägt. Eine unzumutbare Regelung.
Wie steht es zudem mit der österreichischen Justiz. Kann man sich auf österreichische Gerichte verlassen, wenn man als Urlauber auf die Rechtssprechung angewiesen ist. Hier bestehen erhebliche Zweifel, insbesondere nach der schweren Brandkatastrophe am 11.11.2000 in der Standseilbahn zum Kitzsteinhorn bei Kaprun mit 155 Toten und ihrer Aufarbeitung vor österreichischen Gerichten.Der mirror has shown here in detail with the help of German TÜV specialists that the Austrian courts have ruled in this case biased in favor of Austrian party, and that, scandalously, some even speak of corruption. After all, what you do not know the only case.
other hand, it is a trifle, when discussing the Tiroler Tageszeitung, whether one could introduce in certain cases, a dual pricing system for locals and tourists. Neglecting
a certain willingness of reprehensible in Germany and Germans would impale the media. But there may you fooled easily.
is worse because even for sensitive German football fans that the German national team was booed regularly at Austrian stadiums. There is not only bad memories of the last European Championship.
Now the OESIS do something for the Piffkes: You can work as East German job in the Austrian tourism. German students are allowed to study at Austrian universities. However, considering always the same, can reduce by what methods and tricks to the influx, despite EU regulations.
also is now also advertised in Austria for the visit of German universities, such as in the district of Reutte, where Austrian authorities to publicize the visit of the Kempten University of Applied Sciences. Between Reutte and Kempten has a rail link with reasonable intervals.
How is really with the promotion of tax evasion? Here Austria appears regularly in the discussions, leaving to Switzerland in the rain. Or is the Austrian vest in this case clean. Although advertised near the border Austrian Institute, say in young wood, until recently, to German money with references to banking secrecy. There is something?
only interested in history Touristen könnten sich darüber ärgern, dass Österreich seinen zugegebenermaßen kleineren Anteil an der Nazivergangenheit eher ausblendet und verleugnet, oder ist das nicht mehr der Fall ? Als kleines Beispiel sei der eher unauffällige Gedenkstein vor dem Geburtshaus Adolf Hitlers in Braunau am Inn erwähnt.
Viele Deutsche kritisieren auch die rechten und populistischen Parteien in Österreich, strenge Asylvorschriften usw.
Dies ist nur eine kurze Bilanz, die Österreichs Tourismus wohl auch zukünftig aushalten wird.
Vor einigen Monaten habe ich auf meinem Webblog „Klartext“ Hans Ulrich Jörges vehement widersprochen, als er viel zu früh den Freiherrn zur Kanzleralternative hoch schreiben wollte. Damals war er gerade wenige Wochen Wirtschaftsminister. Mein Tenor: Er müsse sich noch bewähren und habe noch viele Chancen Fehler zu machen. Die hat er schon als Verteidigungsminister gemacht.
Übereinstimmung bestand darin, das Guttenberg ein beachtliches politisches Talent is.
Jörges course is now on the side of morality.
But it is so thick, I had not suspected.
The question is, what does it say about the character of a politician, if he has in his doctoral thesis written off or taken a massive unmarked passages verbatim or nearly verbatim. By the way, happens always intentional non-citing: A troubled relationship to honesty, a disturbed relationship to the rights of others (writers) and not least a strong audacity to be more than evident.
Which of these qualities are important for politicians? just this?
Why met him another considerable tolerance.? By the way, including to his implausible public statements on his dissertation.
Once there is a deliberate campaign of his party goers who of Baron weaknesses belittle and want to gloss over. Will A good example of this strategy provided the MEP hollow Meier at Anne. Second, you will not lose its star, the but owes its rise credibility of a particular strategy.
But: Where are the citizens?
addition to many honest and fast honest, they were also students who have cheated in some cases, even with papers that they have downloaded from the Internet, they are drivers Volatile, Steuer- und Versicherungsbetrüger; viele schwarze Schaafe im Handel, in Werkstätten und sonstigen Geschäftsleben, sind überhaupt überall Menschen, die in der Praxis Fünfe gerade sein lassen wollen oder müssen .
Überall profiliert man sich, redet Dinge schön, lügt aus Gewinnstreben oder arbeitet einfach mit Notlügen. Unvermeidliche Gewohnheiten.
Aber: Freiherr zu Guttenberg hat ein wichtiges öffentliches Amt inne. Das macht den Unterschied. Er wird must resign. What would it be for a bad example for this company, if he did not do it . Officially, the morality can be maintained.
it seems, he will not. The sitting out of this scandal should not let him get away. Since it does not help on a PhD that you have surreptitiously to give, and this just before he stripped of the University Bayreuth.
The University of Bayreuth to lose hope a good reputation.
citizenship meeting 09/02/2011
At the last meeting of the Hamburg Parliament had the campaign priority. This was especially true for the notified by the CDU theme for the topical "Hamburg before the decision."
While stressing the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry HSH Nordbank Harald Krueger This committee is one of the most important parliamentary committees of inquiry among the 40 carried out in Hamburg. However, he was first treated subordinated, namely only between about 19:30 to 20:30.
previously discussed:
Current hour: "Hamburg before the decision"
laying of Wilhelm Burger Reichsstrasse Report of the Budget Committee
"Hapag Lloyd" Report of the Budget Committee
Assessment Report of the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry Elbphilharmonie
Neuausrichtung der Arbeitsmarktinstrumente- Große Anfrage der SPD-Fraktion
Bericht des Parlamentarischen Untersuchungsausschusses HSH Nordbank
Der PUA HSH Nordbank fand also zu einer nicht mehr Medien-relevanten Zeit statt.
Die nachrangige Behandlung verwundert nicht, denn das Feierabend-Parlament hat nicht nur bei der laufenden Kontrolle der HLB vor 2003 und der HSH Nordbank seit der Fusion versagt, sondern auch bei dem Versuch nachgängiger Kontrolle durch einen Parlamentarischen Untersuchungsausschuss. Das Thema war der CDU politisch äußerst unangenehm, da ihre Senate seit 2001 in der Verantwortung rose and overwhelmed, were fit but no longer really in the business-friendly campaign of the SPD, the PUA was never a favorite of the party leadership and the SPD members in the committee, held back by the minority position, perhaps by consideration for policy makers had as Heide Simonis, ultimately found no effective common strategy.
The constant scandal and the reports from the media and citizens bank had probably exhausted already.
This has several reasons:
the difficult matter banking crisis and international banking
the lack of Hamburg PUA law
the screening strategy of the CDU / GAL Group in the Committee, the insufficient and tame strategy of the largest opposition group in the Committee
the defense strategy of HSH Nordbank in particular in the document template, a refusal to testify many witnesses, the non-cooperation by BaFin and the Bundesbank
the difficult media employability of matter and the apparent reluctance of key print media in the course of the discussions.
The citizenship debate should not be understood. She moved in der Berichte. Es redeten nur die Funktionsträger im Ausschuss. Die Spitzen der Fraktionshierarchien hielten sich heraus.
Das Hauptdefizit ist offensichtlich: Dem Ausschuss und jedem der Redner der Fraktionen fehlte ein reflektierter Maßstab für politische Verantwortlichkeit. Es fehlte dem Ausschuss nicht nur an hinreichend vielen leidenschaftlichen Juristen und Betriebswirten mit Biss,möglichst mit Kenntnissen im PUA-Recht, sondern auch politikwissenschaftlicher, spezialisierter Sachverstand mit Kenntnis der Literatur über Untersuchungsausschüsse, und dies von Anfang an. Die Abgeordneten haben die verschieden weit gefassten Begriffe von politischer Verantwortlichkeit nicht durchdacht und konnten sie deshalb auch nicht . Create Scale for the assessment of the actions of management and supervisory boards can not be solely the legal question of discretion of violations to the Committee. Even the PUA in the report, KPMG and Freshfieldts reclaimed Fehllleistungen are an incredible scandal. The deputies lacked the necessary political hardship in the opinion of politicians, directors, shareholders, representatives, directors and investment management, a hardness of the Bavarian state parliament in its current studies show far more.
The Committee has failed to court and the findings high-level experts to work for you leave. This money should have been additionally take in hand, as the Committee without causing not inconsiderable cost that has to a parliament, however, make no doubt. Large task forces help of such a complex matter, however, probably limited. be reminded
respect of these costs probably not to the fabulous and totally unjustified "cost structure" of the bankers. All Peanuts: bonus payments and compensation for Nonnenmacher 5 million, compensation for Roth 5 million. Fascinating the hundreds of millions on loss-makers such as including "North Street", "Omega", "St Pancras", annual loss for 2008 2.8 billion, the bailout 2009 with 3 billion of cash and 10 billion guarantee and so rarely mentioned bad bank billion.
In the Hamburg part of the "forward", party newspaper of the SPD, the "Hamburger course there is a remarkable and surprising recommendation: the voters of the SPD list could lead to the state election give its five votes overall, but also all the five votes Spitzendkandidaten Olaf Scholz No. 1 on the state list of the SPD. Absolutely everything right. But the consequences are thought through, or is it both forward a conspiracy against the state list the SPD?
Why is the proposal of the party newspaper politically sensitive?
The answer:
If many voters every five votes Olaf Scholz in person, then are these voices, in fact, the SPD as to good, than if they had given their votes to the national list, Only the individual voting results by Olaf Scholz is improved. Only that? Of course not:
The increase recommended by the forward for Olaf Scholz votes cast in person, the number of candidates by number of personal votes in parliament come from and at the same time reduce the number of those who move in after the order of the state list to parliament.
For example
The SPD receives 1.8 million votes received on the state list, of which only 600 000 is for the column state list of the SPD, but 1200 000 votes as a personal vote for individual candidates on including the state list for Olaf Scholz. Let's say, alone on Olaf Scholz No. 1 on the list had 600 000 votes omitted.
Suppose the same time, the SPD stood after deduction of direct gewählten Wahlkreiskandidaten noch weitere 21 Bewerber von der Landesliste zu.
In diesem Beispiel ziehen die Kandidaten der Plätze 1 bis 7 direkt gemäß der Reihenfolge der Landesliste ins Parlament ein. Man könnte sagen nur sieben, denn 14 Kandidaten werden nach der Anzahl der auf sie persönlich entfallenden Stimmen ins Parlament kommen. Olaf Scholz persönliche 600 000 Stimmen bewirken also, dass sich die Zahl der nach Stimmenanzahl gewählten Bewerber um sieben erhöht, also verdoppelt.
Aus der Sicht der Wähler ist es keine falsche Entscheidung, wenn sie einfach Olaf Scholz persönlich wählen wollen, aber Olaf Scholz is in any case to Parliament. If they were so put other candidates on the list, like the parliament, in which approximately between sites 15 and 40 of the state list, it would be natural to choose this rational and not Olaf Scholz.
Wilhelm Nölling: How many takes anchor man? Documentation of my development, 3 volumes, Hamburg 2007, 1088 pages .. Klaus Schümann Publisher
on the above event, I met with Helmut Schmidt As mentioned Nölling Wilhelm, who brought out before it already for another three years, a three-volume autobiography, should be reminded of that on this occasion. It is a very comprehensive, carefully crafted and readable presentation of Nölling life and political power, which shrinks even from criticism to public figures since the war under any circumstances. Sometimes he comes to tangible and critical judgments.
This autobiography documented in a special way, an example of the ambitious and successful promotion of a gifted boy from a poor family through education, but also for a successful political career that Nölling the clever set of his career moves, his economic competence, his formal political skills, learning ability and communication skills due to added. But his career because of some fundamental orientations and damage could have taken. Nölling was Member of Parliament, Senator and Federal bankers. This author and professor.
is Highly recommended for reading Nölling representation of its biggest intra-party conflict, the nomination of candidates for election in 1969 for the constituency Eimsbüttel against his famous opponent Peter Blach stone. It is recommended that the thesis of the author of these lines Recourse should which has a focus on the analysis of this nomination process: Günter Pumm, candidate selection and internal party democracy in the Hamburg SPD, Hamburg 1977th
Nölling very important illustration of the introduction of the DM during the German unification. Insights from the inner life of the Bundesbank and on the functioning of the Deutsche Bundesbank are to be found in this form, and for that period only with him.
certainly requires some assessment and evaluation of decision processes and people to a critical assessment of how this should also be transferred to non-affected differently.
also worth reading the very interesting epilogue by Henning Voscherau.
purchase and recommended reading are: 55 €.
has the Temmen-Verlag supported by the Helmut and Loki Schmidt Foundation, a book by Matthias Waechter on the importance of friendly relations between Helmut Schmidt published (92) and Valery Giscard d'Estaing (84) for European policy.
The book was on 01/28/2011 im Westflügel des UNI-Hauptgebäudes stilvoll präsentiert in Anwesenheit von Helmut Schmidt. .Die Leitung der Veranstaltung hatte Alt-Bürgermeister Peter Schulz. Den Gegenstand des Buches stellte inhaltlich der französische Professor Georges Henri Soutou vor, der leider seinen Vortrag erheblich kürzen musste.Den Autor stellte Prof. Dr. Werz aus Rostock vor.
Ein Highlight der Veranstaltung war neben dem Auftritt von Ex-Kanzler Schmidt das Erscheinen des stellvertretenden Bundesvorsitzenden der SPD Olaf Scholz , dessen gemeinsamer Auftritt mit Helmut Schmidt großes Medieninteresse fand. So etwa am nächsten Tag in Bild Hamburg mit dem Artikel “Diese Männerfreundschaft hat Europa verändert.“
From the Hamburg policy also Wolfgang Rose, Hamburg Verdi-Chairman, and Dorothee Stapelfeld had appeared. Even hardly surprising were also former SPD leftists such as Freimut Duwe, Hinnerk Behlmer and Hans-Peter severity, the Schmidts were not exactly friends reigns of the Chancellor and his policies, such as retrofitting been. At the well attended event of course was attended by many friends of Helmut Schmidt and Loki Foundation.
Another guest, in the very important matter, namely the Währungspoltik, in particular the introduction of the euro, disagree with the chancellor had been, was published with Dr. William Nölling. As is known Nölling is still looking to take a lot of energy to influence federal policy, as the current action proves before the Federal Constitutional Court.
I met even at the stylish buffet other good friends, some even from primary and advanced seminars in Fritz Fischer, including the professors Vogel and Barbara Franklin Kopitsch. Axel Schildt from the "Center for Contemporary History, whose board of trustees I have long heard time came when another famous UNI-historian.
The Fischer-Barbara Vogel student supervised by the way fortunately the near future published book on German-Polish relations, which will also come out in the series of Helmut Schmidt and Loki Foundation in Temmen.
I love but rather the controversial scientific disputation without a collar and tie, but this was a successful event is still in familiar surroundings.
