Since democracy has been transformed to kleptocracy, we have to bypass the rotten system and deal in the underground economy. We could barter, evade VAT and all kind of taxes, ignore all licenses, and become untraceable.
Public procurement accounts for roughly 17% of the EU's GDP. In times of tight budgets and economic difficulties in many Member States, public procurement policy must ensure the most efficient use of public funds, with a view to supporting growth, job creation, and elimination of kickbacks.
Eurokleptocracy, gigaregulation, Antitrust Armageddon, and gigataxation, especially VAT, are the real causes of the European financial meltdown. Fourth Reich(EU), an unvoted illegal confederation, cannot protect Europeans from Eurokleptocrats, especially Graecokleptocrats, and police brutes, especially Graecocybercops. Fourthreichian Premier Barroso condones the disgusting Graecokleptocrats who accuse dissident bloggers of treason, confiscate their computers, and lock them is jail!
Public procurement would require flexible and user-friendly tools that make transparent and competitive contract awards as easy as possible for European public authorities and their suppliers. With these objectives in mind, the European Commission has today launched a consultation. This open debate with interested parties will focus on the modernisation of the rules, tools and methods for public procurement to deliver better on these goals. The deadline for responses to the Green Paper is 18 April 2011.
The freakish government of Greece, the most corrupt country of Fourth Reich, robs computers and terrorizes the blogosphere! Why on Earth Durao Barroso, Neelie Kroes, Viviane Reding, and Cecilia Malmstroem of the European Commission cannot rein in Graecokleptocrats? If Fourth Reich(EU) cannot protect Greeks from the Greek government, who will? Greek dissident bloggers want back their stolen computers, their stolen files, their stolen persona data, and their stolen lives. Restitution is a basic right in a civil society. Brutal Graecocybercops should be abolished now.
Premier George Papandreou of Greece crossed the Rubicon on October 18, 2010, when his deranged minister destroyed a distinguished professor and dissident blogger. That's why the Global Tax Revolt declared October 18 as the International Day Against Cybercop Brutality. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt
Internal Market and Services Commissioner Michel Barnier said: We need to clarify public procurement rules to make life easier for both public authorities and companies bidding for contracts in Europe. Access of smaller companies to procurement markets, reducing red tape, or promoting European cross-border procurement will be under the spotlight during the consultation. My ambition is also to make sure that public procurement can help job creation, innovation, and protection of the environment.
Public procurement accounts for roughly 17% of the EU's GDP. Putting this 17% to the best possible use is essential for re-launching our economy and creating jobs, even more so in a period of crisis. Stakeholders have voiced demands for a review of the EU public procurement system to streamline its procedures and better adapt them to new challenges, e.g. the need for a more efficient use of public funds as well as taking into account social and environmental concerns.
Companies, especially SMEs (estimated to secure between 31% and 38% in terms of total contract value of public procurement), need better and easier access to public contracts throughout the EU so that they can reap the full benefits of a truly European procurement market. Similarly, procurers need simple and flexible procedures allowing them to contribute effectively to the achievement of the common objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy: fostering innovation, protecting the environment, fighting climate change and social exclusion.
The largest kickbacks originate in the military industry. Military procurement is a corrupt business from top to bottom. The process is dominated by advocacy, with few checks and balances. Most people in power love this system of doing business and do not want it changed. War and preparation for war systematically corrupt all parties to the state-private transactions by which the government obtains the bulk of its military products. There is a standard 10% kickback to kleptocrats for military purchases.
Participants in the military-industrial-kleptocrat complex(MIKC) are routinely blamed for mismanagement, not infrequently they are accused of waste, fraud, abuse, and kickbacks(WFAK), and from time to time a few of them are indicted for criminal offenses. All of these unsavory actions, however, are typically viewed as aberrations, misfeasances to be rectified or malfeasances to be punished while retaining the basic system of state-private cooperation in the production of military goods and services. These offenses are in reality expressions of a thoroughgoing, intrinsic rottenness in the entire setup.
Offset contracts were also signed to the tune of many billion euros. Offsets are arrangements made by purchasing governments with their suppliers, requiring the contractors to reinvest a percentage of the value of the deal in the importing country. The arms trade is already an incubator of corruption with such large sums of money flowing around, and all that secrecy. It's so easy to avoid clear accountability about what you've bought, and why. The best antidotes are transparency and competition. But if you add offsets to the deal, it only gets murkier.
Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of organizational climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.
