هل يمكن التمديد لمقدمي الخدمات لكهرباء لبنان من دون مناقصة وفق قانون الشراء العام؟

Pois bem, a resposta pra esse fenômeno foi dada agora pelo presidente da Associação Nacional dos Auditores da Receita Federal, o Kleber Cabral. Ele disse que a Receita trabalha com uma lista VIP, que hoje conta com mais de seis mil pessoas nos últimos doze meses. Essa lista dobrou de tamanho bem, segundo ele, qualquer pessoa que exerça um cargo público relevante, como deputado, senador, desembargador, presidente, governador, prefeito, essas pessoas, segundo as normas do Coaf, elas são consideradas pessoas politicamente expostas. [...] Receita, por sua vez, sem nenhuma norma própria, criou essa lista VIP e aí essas pessoas não podem ter a sua declaração de rendas analisadas por um auditor fiscal.

Coca-Cola Releases Mini Bottles For Short People !!

Publisher’s rating: False

The review found that the viral image had been digitally edited: the original bottle was a FIFA World Cup special edition from 2006, not a product for short people. Coca-Cola’s regional communications manager denied the claim, and the review said the company had no drinks packages specifically targeting short people.

Kaum ein Land importiert so viel Strom wie Deutschland. Fast ein Viertel der Importe stammt aus Frankreich. Wenn Marine Le Pen ihre Ankündigung wahrmacht, aus dem europäischen Strommarkt auszusteigen, ist die deutsche Industrie am Ende.

Publisher’s rating: Frankreich könnte nur unter erschwerten Bedingungen und mit Sanktionen durch die EU aus dem europäischen Strommarkt aussteigen. Deutschland war zwar im ersten Halbjahr 2024 der größte Stromimporteur unter den europäischen Staaten, gehört aber auch zu den größten Exporteuren. Zudem sind die Importe gemessen an der gesamten Nettostromerzeugung in Deutschland nur ein Bruchteil.

The review says Germany was Europe’s largest electricity importer in the first half of 2024, but also among its largest exporters; net imports were a small fraction of its total net electricity generation. France supplied about a quarter of Germany’s electricity imports, while a French exit from the European market would face practical obstacles and possible EU sanctions.
