SUMMARY. In the present report, the Federal Office for Goods Transport has developed an in-depth analysis of the current training and employment situation as well as the labour conditions of professional drivers (in goods transport), rail operators and barge operators as part of the implementation of section 5 E of the Federal Government action plan for goods transport and logistics. The most significant results can be summarised as follows: The number of professional drivers (goods transport/lorries) subject to social security con- tributions in Germany was totaled 546,459 at the end of 2015 according to the Federal Labour Office - another increase of around 1.6 % compared to the previous year, which was primarily a cause of a continuous rise in the number of foreign employees. Howev- er, the number of part-time commercial drivers fell significantly. In December 2015 76,542 drivers were employed, 5.8% fewer than in the previous year. An increase in employment in more advanced age groups was observed in contrast to sinking employment in young- er age groups. Whilst the percentage of under-25-year-olds remained at a constant level in 2015 compared to the previous year, the percentage of over-55-year-olds reached around 26.5%; one percentage point more than in 2014. Compared to the national aver- age of all professions, percentage of professional drivers in the latter age group is above average. The nationwide number of unemployed persons or persons seeking employ- ment may remain above the number of vacant positions, however, the unemployment rate as well as the number of persons seeking employment went down significantly be- tween July 2015 and May 2016. The number of job vacancies rose distinctly. An evalua- tion of 350 job advertisements for professional drivers carried out by the DEKRA Akade- mie GmbH showed that employers have intensified their search for qualified workers. This year, reports have focused on digitalisation and analysing to what extent digital technology has changed the daily work routine and influenced the working conditions of drivers. Modern technology like digital tachographs and telematics systems are already common in the industry. On the one hand they are an efficient support system in the daily work routine as they help the driver operate the vehicle and have a positive influence on road and traffic safety. The number of accidents resulting in personal injury and involving goods road transport vehicles has been steadily falling for years...

SUMMARY. Summaries consist of specific disclosure requirements, known as "Elements". These Elements are numbered in Sections A – E (A.1 – E.7). This summary contains all the Elements required to be included in a summary for this type of securities and Issuer. Because some Elements are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements. Even though an Element may be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and Issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a short description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of "not applicable". Section A – Introduction and warnings Section B – Issuer and any guarantors
SUMMARY. This financial product promotes environmental or social characteristics. The investment fund contains a mini- mum share of 10% in sustainable investments. Sustainability factors are integrated into the Fund’s in- vestment process, or the Fund only purchases financial instruments that have been categorised as sustainable by Schoellerbank Invest AG on the basis of a predefined screening process. Schoellerbank Invest AG makes the investment decisions for this Fund on the basis of the integration of sustainability factors and on the basis of the investment universe defined through the screening process. Schoellerbank Invest AG has developed a two-step pro- cess that collects appropriate measures of investments in order to assess environmental and social characteris- tics. The first step is a “negative screening” (selection accord- ing to exclusion criteria as well as compliance with the UN Global Compact). Issuers that meet an exclusion cri- terion are eliminated in the first stage, so that no invest- ment is made in their securities, either indirectly or directly. In the second step, the remaining issuers go through a “positive screening” with regard to their social and envi- ronmental standards. Positive criteria are indicators that speak for an above-average performance of a company or state with regard to the advertised environmental and social characteristics. Durch den beschriebenen zweistufigen, nachhaltigen Auswahlprozess auf Unternehmens- und Staatenebene sowie den Ausschluss von Unternehmen mit schweren Verstößen gegen den UN Global Compact werden ökolo- gische oder soziale Merkmale gefördert. Ökologische Merkmale werden durch die Vermeidung von Investitionen in wirtschaftliche Tätigkeiten, die für die ökologischen Ziele besonders schädlich sind, geför- dert. Durch den Ausschluss von betroffenen Unterneh- men werden Verstöße gegen Umweltbewusstsein, fehlendes Vorsorgeprinzip im Rahmen des Umweltprob- lems und fehlende Entwicklung und Vorbereitung um- weltfreundlicher Technologien sowie Unternehmen, die in umweltschädlichen Bereichen ihre Kernumsätze erzie- len, nicht unterstützt. Die Förderung ökologischer Merk- male auf Staatenebene erfolgt durch die verpflichtende Unterzeichnung des UN-Artenschutzabkommens sowie des Pariser Klimaschutzabkommens und den Ausschluss von Staaten mit zu geringen Anstrengungen für den Kli- maschutz. Soziale Merkmale werden durch die Vermeidung von In- vestitionen in wirtschaftliche Tätigkeiten, die für die so- zialen Zie...
SUMMARY. 1. DESCRIPTION 1
SUMMARY. In accordance with the moderate economic growth in 2013, there was a stable number of persons employed in the commercial occupations examined (agents for courier, express and parcel services, agents for freight forwarding and logistics services, and shipping agents) compared to the previous year. The percentage of women employed in all three occupations exceeds the average proportion of female employees in the transport indus- try. Foreign workers do not make up a high proportion of employees in any occupation. Both the shipping agents as well as the agents for freight forwarding and logistics ser- vices consist of a high percentage of young workers compared to the national average. At the same time, only a small proportion of employees are of older ages. In contrast, the age structure of agents for CEP services is made up of a few young workers and a high proportion of workers of older ages. The working conditions differ partly due to the size of the company. Firstly, promotion prospects are often limited in smaller companies. If it is a small, family-run business, management positions are often held by family members and are therefore not available to non-family members. Secondly, the working hours at smaller companies are often irregular, whereas trade representatives state that closer attention is paid to complying with regular working hours under employee protection. Differences in remuneration may also result from the size of the company, especially since small companies are not regu- larly bound by collective wage agreement. Small businesses often pay their employees on the basis of applicable collective wage agreements. In the context of the conclusion of collective wage agreements, significant wage increases were more or less agreed upon for the commercial employees. Employment trend Working condi- tions The employment statistics of the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) show more registered unemployed persons for all three occupational groups than job vacancies. Likewise, there are more unemployed persons registered than job vacancies in all federal states in Germany. The labour-market situation in Baden-Württemberg, for example, is better than in North Rhine-Westphalia. On average, positions are filled more quickly in the field of transport-related commercial occupations than the average of all occupational groups. The number of trainees has rather declined in the field of agents for CEP services and shipping agents; it is in a...
SUMMARY. On Sunday, 13th March 2011, at half past eight in the evening, the French public national television channel France 5 broadcasted a documentary relating the investigation which had led to the “formal” identification of Xxxxx XX’x skull. It had been conducted by a team of scientists led by Doctor Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, a forensic medical examiner - a well-known anthropologist. Throughout the programme, many factors were introduced and proved the identification. And yet, taking a scientific step back and looking at things from a distance with historical knowledge, these factors seem to be questionable. A new perspective which sowed the seeds of doubt on the showcasing of absolute certainty. Legal medicine, History, Skull, Xxxxx XX.
