The third intensive measurement period (IMP) organised by the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) under the UNECE CLTRAP took place in summer 2012 and winter 2013, with PM10 filter samples concurrently collected at 20 (16 EMEP) regional background sites across Europe for subsequent analysis of their mineral dust content. All samples were analysed by the same or a comparable methodology. Higher PM10 mineral dust loadings were observed at most sites in summer (0.5-10 µg m-3) compared to winter (0.2-2 µg m-3), with the most elevated concentrations in the southern- and easternmost countries, accounting for 20-40 % of PM10. Saharan dust outbreaks were responsible for the high summer dust loadings at western and central European sites, whereas regional or local sources explained the elevated concentrations observed at eastern sites. The eastern Mediterranean sites experienced elevated levels due to African dust outbreaks during both summer and winter. The mineral dust composition varied more in winter than in summer, with a higher relative contribution of anthropogenic dust during the former period. A relatively high contribution of K from non-mineral and non-sea-salt sources, such as biomass burning, was evident in winter at some of the central and eastern European sites. The spatial distribution of some components and metals reveals the influence of specific anthropogenic sources on a regional scale: shipping emissions (V, Ni, and SO42-) in the Mediterranean region, metallurgy (Cr, Ni, and Mn) in central and eastern Europe, high temperature processes (As, Pb, and SO42-) in eastern countries, and traffic (Cu) at sites affected by emissions from nearby cities.

The term for entering a judgment is reduced from two months to one month.16 Another amendment adds two more grounds for declaring public procurement contracts voidable: (i) the conclusion of a contract where an infringement is identified and before the enforcement of all related decisions of the contracting government authority, and (ii) the unlawful conclusion of procurement contract in violation of public procurement procedure.17 If a contract is declared void, the Public Procurement Act provides for restitution. [...] the aggrieved bidder may seek monetary damages under the Bulgarian Administrative Procedure Code.18 The Bulgarian Commission for the Protection of Competition may also impose a sanction of ten percent of the contract value where a contract was awarded unlawfully.19 Finally, a new chapter in the Public Procurement Act provides a mechanism to notify the European Commission of serious infringements. B. Revision of the Federal Technical Trade Barriers Act (THG) On IuIy 1, 2010, an important amendment to the Federal Law on Technical Trade Barriers to Trade Act7i came into force.

Introduction The compliance and operating costs resulting from twenty-seven different private limited liability company regimes throughout the European Union makes the operation of foreign subsidiaries of SMEs considerably more expensive than domestic subsidiaries. [...] EU SMEs that exercise their freedom of estabUshment rights (e.g., by incorporating as a UK private limited liability company while maintaining their central administrative office in another Member State), probably encounter a degree of distrust from creditors and banks. Finally, some modifications of the Corporation Tax Law, approved by the Royal Decree Law 4/2004 of March 5,74 are made in order to adapt its provisions to the new accounting framework.
