By Andréa Barretto/Diálogo May 28, 2019 In January 2019, Brazilian Army Lieutenant Colonel Fábio Rodrigo de Assis joined a multinational team that prepares service members, police officers, and civilians from Ethiopia and other African nations to join United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions in Africa. The Brazilian officer’s work stems from an exchange agreement the Brazilian and Ethiopian ministries of Defense signed in 2017. Lt. Col. Fábio Rodrigo carries out his duties at the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Peace Support Training Center (FDRE-PSTC), in Addis Ababa, capital of the country. Each year Ethiopia sends about 12,500 people to serve in UN peacekeeping operations in conflict regions in Africa. Part of the contingent goes through FDRE-PSTC, which offers more than 20 short courses a year, including training in conflict prevention and management, military observation, and civilian and international human rights protection, among others. Each course accommodates about 25 students from different nationalities. “My main assignment has been to conduct evaluations to measure and analyze the level of student satisfaction regarding certain aspects of the courses, as well as to verify whether they’ve learned through tests,” said Lt. Col. Fábio Rodrigo. The officer also teaches and takes part in developing a curriculum for the courses. He also attends meetings and conferences on peacekeeping operations at the FDRE-PSTC and the African Union. The international organization, whose headquarters are also in Addis Ababa, was created in 2002 to promote integration among African countries. Lt. Col. Fábio Rodrigo doesn’t carry out his mission alone. The FDRE-PSTC team has three foreign officers each from the United States, England, and France, who joined efforts with Ethiopian professionals to conduct the classes. “All PSTC instructors, both foreign and Ethiopians, have either taken part in peacekeeping missions or have vast experience and knowledge in this area,” said Lt. Col. Fábio Rodrigo, whose peacekeeping knowledge is also one of the reasons why he was selected as a Brazilian representative in the Ethiopian training center. Between 2002 and 2003, Lt. Col. Fábio Rodrigo served in the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste. At the time, the Brazilian contingent carried out the UN Military Police mission. “I contributed to the platoon’s tasks when I served as group commander and logistics officer, assisting the platoon in checkpoints, convoy escort, leaders’ security, and patrol tasks,” the officer said. For Lt. Col. Fábio Rodrigo, life at FDRE-PSTC with coworkers has been a daily learning curve. “This is an unprecedented opportunity in my career,” he said, pointing out that the experience exchange also happens with students. “In addition to the experience among instructors, it’s worth mentioning that classroom activities are invaluable. The majority of students have previously participated in peacekeeping missions and have a lot of knowledge to share.” Mutual collaboration Ethiopia was the first to send representatives to the collaborative mission as part of the exchange agreement between both countries. In 2018, two Ethiopian service members took part in activities at the Brazilian Joint Center for Peacekeeping Operations (CCOPAB, in Portuguese), in Rio de Janeiro. Ethiopian Army Colonel Tamrat Andarge, joined the foreign instructor staff at the Civil-Military Coordination Internship of June 2018. The objective of the training was to share and standardize knowledge to carry out civil-military tasks within the scope of the UN. In November 2018, Ethiopian Army Colonel Temesgen Gidore joined a team of internship instructors to train service members and police officers on how to carry out tasks in peacekeeping operations worldwide as members of the Joint Staff, the UN Police, and military observers. “The exchange with other centers is very important, as it promotes the exchange of teaching methodologies other countries use,” said the CCOPAB Press Office. “In practical terms, it enables interaction among instructors and students from different walks of life and experiences, who work together to build knowledge and new teaching techniques.” The Brazilian training center maintains instructor exchange agreements with institutions from seven partner nations: Argentina, Chile, France, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay.

According to unofficial information, the Ministry of Finance in accordance with the fourth round of tax reform, as part Draft Bill on Amendments to the Law on Profit Tax , accepted the remarks of the profession, the tenants and the local self-government regarding the issue of collecting the flat tax. RELATED NEWS: Also, a flat tax should be purposefully spend, and not just to flow into the JLS budget and to be spent for any purpose. That would justify the meaning of the same. Every year we witness our destinations cracking at the seams due to too many tourists and extremely poor infrastructure that cannot bear that load. In the 21st century, we have basic infrastructural problems, such as: lack of parking, poor sewerage networks, leaking sewers into the sea, bursting of the electricity network, bad roads and large crowds on them, poorly maintained parks, children’s playgrounds… problems we must not allow , if we want to make a living from tourism. Tax collection is not a problem, if the local population sees the benefit of it. On the contrary, it is in everyone’s interest for the destinations to be beautifully arranged, for the infrastructure to be developed, both to improve the lives of the local population and for tourists. For example, a property owner can live and be registered in Zagreb, and the property he rents can be on Hvar. Thus, the collection of the flat tax flowed to the city or municipality where the owner is registered and where he lives (in this case in Zagreb, not on Hvar), and not at the place where the apartments / real estate are located where the tourist activity is performed, which of course leads to lower income to the local community where the property is located. As the purpose of the tax, as well as its possible increase, is to invest in local infrastructure that is cracking at the seams, it was logical for the local self-government to “revolt” to pour the flat tax into the local self-government budget, where the real estate is located. Namely, according to the current law, the flat tax was not charged according to the address and place where the property / apartment is located, but according to the place of residence of the owner, which was not logical and thus the local self-governments lost a large income. Revenue just earmarked for infrastructure development. Namely, in accordance with the provisions of the new Law on Amendments to the Law on Income Tax, which has been in force since the beginning of this year, the Decision on the flat tax for renters is no longer made by the Ministry of Tourism but by the representative body of local governments. The law stipulates that the lump sum may not be less than HRK 150 or more than HRK 1.500.
However, in the new Law on Amendments to the Law on Income Tax, there was a big hole in the law that the proponents did not notice, which caused various controversies and revolts of local self-government units (JLS). Namely, until now, the flat tax for renters was collected according to the place of residence of the owner, and not according to the place where the real estate itself is located. Photo: Pixabay.com The final proposal of the Law on Amendments to the Law on Profit Tax has not been presented yet, it should be soon, and when will we receive the final confirmation or denial of this case. The final Act on Amendments to the Income Tax Act will be published in the Official Gazette and will enter into force on 1 January 2020. THE HOLE IN THE NEW INCOME TAX LAW WILL ENABLE MANUFULATIONS OF PAYING A FLAT TAX

“There was a large range of numbers, and they (the EU sources) put the highest number out,” Berkley said in an interview. He said that in a presentation to EU officials, COVAX officials had given “a range of different prices”.”And that [$40] was the maximum price in the range for high income countries, rather than a set price,” he told Reuters.COVAX is co-led by GAVI, the World Health Organization and the CEPI Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and is designed to guarantee fast and equitable access globally to COVID-19 vaccines once they are developed.Its aim is to secure supplies of and deliver 2 billion doses across countries who sign up by the end of 2021. GAVI said earlier this month that more than 75 countries have expressed interest in joining COVAX. Berkley said most vaccines are so early in the testing process that it’s too soon to know what the final price will be. “The truth is nobody has an idea what the price is going to be, because we have no idea which (potential COVID) vaccine is going to work,” he said. He said questions about which technology might be most effective, whether vaccines would be single or a double dose, or what yields from manufacturing facilities might be were still unanswered and would all influence eventual vaccine pricing.Berkley said COVAX has started putting together estimates based on what is known, but there are no firm prices. “The challenge is trying to come up with a cost. Anybody who tells you they know isn’t being honest.”Berkley, who through the GAVI alliance negotiates with manufacturers to bulk-buy vaccines for use in poor countries, said drugmakers frequently use a tiered pricing approach, in which poorer countries pay one price, middle-income countries a higher price, and rich countries pay the highest price.He said it’s not clear what manufacturers of potential COVID-19 vaccines will propose, but they are trying to put forward cost estimates based on what they know so far.”You’re going to have a range of different prices, depending upon which ones (vaccine candidates) are going to succeed.”Frankly, it’s likely that we’ll have lower prices given the large volumes that we’re trying to access here.”Berkley said COVAX and several others are also including a “speed premium” into the cost of COVID-19 vaccines that encourages companies to make millions of doses at risk, even before they know if their vaccine candidate works. “We see that as being 15% or 20% of what the cost will be,” he said. Coordinators of a global coronavirus vaccines funding scheme are looking at a wide range of potential prices for COVID-19 shots, with a reported $40 per dose price tag the “highest number” in that range, one of the co-leads of the project said on Monday.Seth Berkley, chief executive of the GAVI vaccine alliance, which is co-leading the COVAX facility designed to ensure fair global access to COVID-19 shots, said the facility had no specific target price and would also seek to negotiate tiered pricing for richer and poorer countries.Berkley rejected comments from European Union sources last week who said the COVAX facility was targeting a $40 price for COVID vaccines for wealthy countries. The EU sources had said the EU would be seeking to secure cheaper deals outside of the COVAX scheme.

Three ways Mauricio Pochettino can stop the Spurs rot ahead of pivotal Arsenal clash Comment Advertisement Fernando Llorente has struggled to make an impact in his previous two substitute appearances (Getty Images)Despite being given 28 minutes and 20 minutes respectively, Llorente failed to have a single effort on goal in either game, created just one chance in total and managed a meagre 25 touches in 48 minutes of action. Rather than improve Spurs after coming on, Llorente has inhibited them with the rest of the team naturally playing more direct when he is on the pitch.Prior to Harry Kane’s ankle injury in January, Llorente had been a peripheral figure in Spurs’ season, featuring for a grand total of 34 minutes in their first 21 Premier League matches resulting in rumours that he could be offloaded in the transfer window.AdvertisementLlorente’s reasonable impact during Kane’s absence has seen him shoot up Pochettino’s pecking order but the previous two games have shown that his sole purpose should be as a final option, rather than the first.More: FootballRio Ferdinand urges Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to drop Manchester United starChelsea defender Fikayo Tomori reveals why he made U-turn over transfer deadline day moveMikel Arteta rates Thomas Partey’s chances of making his Arsenal debut vs Man CitySettle on a first-choice system and stick to itDuring his first two and a half years in charge of Spurs, Pochettino stuck rigidly to a 4-2-3-1 formation that had served him well at previous clubs Espanyol and Southampton. Then came the back-three craze initiated by Antonio Conte which was soon copied across the Premier League.After perfecting the 3-4-2-1 formation during the second half of the 2016-17 season, Pochettino rightfully received praise for broadening his tactical horizons and making Spurs more adaptable than they had been previously.He has continued that evolution since, however, in recent games it has become impossible to second-guess which formation Pochettino will choose and which players will be called upon on a game-by-game basis. Injuries have played a part in his tinkering, yet there is an argument that everything has become a bit muddled. Both Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies have failed to impress this season (Getty Images)Regardless, the ball ended up in the net and it was Trippier who spent the final ten minutes of the game willing it for it all to end. He might have similar sentiments towards the season as a whole given how he has struggled in the months since his finest hour for England at the World Cup.On the opposite side, Ben Davies didn’t endure quite as calamitous an evening, yet he like Trippier embodies Spurs’ full-back decline. Where once they possessed two speedsters out wide, now Spurs have two with the handbrake on at all times.Spurs will need to upgrade their options at right and left-back in the summer – Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Ben Chilwell would be perfect additions, if probably unattainable – yet for now a pairing of Rose on the left and Serge Aurier on the right appears to be Pochettino’s best option.AdvertisementAdvertisementResist the temptation to introduce Fernando Llorente earlyTottenham fans adore Pochettino and rightly so given the vast improvement he has masterminded during his four and a bit seasons in charge, yet if there is one criticism that has been consistently levelled at the Argentine during his time in north London, it has been in regards to his game management and use of substitutes.Those complaints have generally centred around Pochettino’s unwillingness to make tactical tweaks to his team until it is too late, resulting in his substitutes having precious little time to positively impact proceedings.Over the last two matches, however, that criticism could perhaps be flipped on its head: rather than waiting too long to try and change things, Pochettino has instead been too hasty in turning to his bench in an attempt to turn the tide in Spurs’ favour.Both against Burnley and Chelsea, Pochettino’s first change saw Fernando Llorente summoned in place of a midfielder – Harry Winks at Turf Moor and Erik Lamela at Stamford Bridge – after Spurs had gone a goal behind. Oliver Young-MylesThursday 28 Feb 2019 1:19 pmShare this article via facebookShare this article via twitterShare this article via messengerShare this with Share this article via emailShare this article via flipboardCopy link902Shares Advertisement Mauricio Pochettino has plenty to ponder ahead of Saturday’s north London derby (Getty Images)‘The pressure is on them, not only us.’Mauricio Pochettino was in defiant mood at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night in the wake of Tottenham’s meek 2-0 surrender to Chelsea, suggesting that if any team is feeling the strain ahead of Saturday’s pivotal north London derby clash, it should be Arsenal.Spurs remain in the driving seat to finish in the top four despite consecutive defeats against Burnley and Chelsea yet a third straight loss this weekend would have them clinging onto their current position for dear life with Arsenal firmly on their coat-tails. A win for the Gunners at Wembley would move them just a point behind.AdvertisementAdvertisementAlthough Pochettino expressed his disappointment that his side were unable to provide a positive reaction to their shock defeat at Turf Moor, he insisted that everyone would have taken Spurs’ current position with ten games remaining at the start of what has proven a complicated campaign.ADVERTISEMENTBe that as it may, he will also be acutely aware that significant improvement is required if Spurs are to get back on track and put a sizeable dent in their closest rivals top-four chances at the same time when an in-form Arsenal arrive at the national stadium.Here are three ways in which he can instigate an upturn in fortunes, starting on Saturday.Ditch the full-backsDuring the 2016-17 season in which Spurs finished second in the Premier League with a mammoth 86 points, arguably the biggest strength of the team was the full-backs with Kyle Walker and Danny Rose providing attacking impetus and defensive stability in equal measure on each side.Fast forward a couple of seasons later and the full-back areas are now Spurs’ biggest weakness, as evidenced brutally during the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Kieran Trippier found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons due to his calamitous own goal late on.Opinion has been split over who was most at fault for the game-clinching clanger. Trippier, under pressure from Willian, appeared to beckon Hugo Lloris towards him to play the ball back before then passing it into the goal instead. Lloris, meanwhile, was perhaps guilty of rushing off his line far too hastily given the circumstances. How Spurs lined up against ChelseaIn Spurs’ previous three Premier League games, they have started in three different formations; 4-3-1-2 against Leicester, 3-5-2 against Burnley and 4-2-3-1 against Chelsea. In those games, Pochettino made five changes from the team that played Leicester for the Burnley game and then a further four against Chelsea. In-game alterations such as pushing Son into a central striker role and dropping Eriksen into a midfield three have yielded underwhelming results.There have been extenuating factors behind Pochettino’s tweaks, notably re-jigging things with Kane and Dele Alli on the sidelines, while the January sale of Mousa Dembele has left him short of viable central midfield options with Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko now among the first names on the teamsheet.AdvertisementHowever, the exhilarating second-half performance against Dortmund in the Champions League aside, Spurs’ recent performances have been ineffective, unconvincing and devoid of a clear defensive or attacking strategy. A regular return to the tried-and-trusted 4-2-3-1 or even 3-4-2-1 formation could help Spurs rediscover their lost rhythm.More: Arsenal FCArsenal flop Denis Suarez delivers verdict on Thomas Partey and Lucas Torreira movesThomas Partey debut?

Press Association A full or partial stadium closure at the Arena Nationala for the visit of Michael O’Neill’s table-topping side on November 14 are potential measures that could be taken against the Romanian Football Federation, though a hefty fine may also be imposed instead. The Irish FA, which has been in constant dialogue with fans hoping to book their travel arrangements, had been told to expect a decision on Friday but must now wait until after the weekend. A brief statement read: “The Irish Football Association have been in contact with UEFA regarding the Romania disciplinary case but have been informed that a decision will not be communicated to any party until Monday 27th October. “As soon as the decision has been communicated, the Irish FA will issue a further statement on this matter.” Northern Ireland must wait until Monday to find out whether their Euro 2016 qualifier in Romania next month will take place behind closed doors.
Crowd problems in Bucharest during the 1-1 draw against Hungary on October 11 resulted in proceedings being opened against both federations by UEFA’s control, ethics and disciplinary committee. Romania were cited for crowd disturbances, the setting off/throwing of fireworks and missiles and the use of laser pointers as well as improper conduct of the team due to the number of yellow cards issued in a bad-tempered encounter. Five Romanians and seven Hungarians were booked by Scottish referee Willie Collum.
