Competition authority Antitrust Office targets Apple

As of: June 21, 2021 2:46 p.m.

The Federal Cartel Office is now also investigating Apple. Above all, the US group’s business conduct in the App Store wants to investigate. Similar proceedings are in progress against other large tech companies. The Federal Cartel Office initiates investigations against the technology group Apple. The authority wants to find out whether the US group with parts of its business a “cross-market importance” has in competition. Cartel Office President Andreas Mundt said: “We will now examine whether Apple has built a digital ecosystem across several markets around the iPhone with the proprietary iOS operating system.” After all, the US group also produces tablets, computers, headphones and watches and sells them at the same time “a range of device-related services and services”. The Group’s Services division includes the App Store, iCloud, technical support at AppleCare, the Apple Music music service, the range of games in front of Apple Arcade, the Apple TV + streaming service and other services.

EU sees unfair competition

During its investigation, the Cartel Office will also examine Apple’s technical and financial resources as well as access to data, according to Mundt. One focus of the investigation will be on the operation of the app store, as this enables the group in many cases to influence the business activities of third parties.

Apple’s app store system is already being investigated by the EU Commission, which accuses the group of unfair competition with other providers of music streaming services. Among other things, it is controversial that 15 to 30 percent of the digital revenues in the App Store go to Apple. “We look forward to discussing our approach with the Federal Cartel Office and engaging in an open dialogue about any concerns”it said in a response from Apple. The group is “proud to be an engine for innovation and jobs”. The iOS platform alone supports more than 250,000 workplaces in Germany.

Cartel office can intervene earlier

The background to the investigation is a reform of the Act against Restraints of Competition (GWB) in January. A central component is the modernization of abuse control. The supervisory authorities can now intervene earlier in the event of suspected violations by large digital corporations and prohibit anti-competitive practices.

This also makes it easier for the Cartel Office to take action against large digital companies that are important to competition across borders between different market areas. This has already had consequences: the last time the Bonn authority was against the online network Facebook and in May against the mail order company Amazon and against the internet company Google Investigation started.

According to the cartel office, an expansion of the investigation against Apple is imminent. The authority intends to “to take a closer look at Apple’s specific behavior in a possible further procedure”. The Office has received various complaints against potentially anti-competitive practices

Disclosure report Bezos, Musk and Co. hardly paid any taxes

As of: 06/09/2021 05:04 a.m.

A new report reveals that the richest Americans hardly pay any income tax – among them Amazon founder Bezos and Tesla boss Musk. The tax authority wants to determine how the confidential data became public. By Torsten Teichmann, ARD studio Washington In 2007, multibillionaire Jeff Bezos didn’t pay a dime in US income tax. In 2011, too, the Amazon founder offset his income against losses so much that the US tax authority IRS granted him an income-related child allowance of 4,000 US dollars. This had often been speculated about. But now the numbers are known. The foundation for investigative journalism ProPublica quotes from Bezos tax return. These tax tricks are not illegal. But the network of loopholes and discounts remains denied to most Americans due to lack of assets. They move from salary to salary, as US President Joe Biden complains time and again: “Sometimes I argue with friends in the Democratic Party about it: It’s okay to be a billionaire or a millionaire, but pay your fair share.”

What tax amounts are fair for the rich?

But how much should the top 0.01 percent in the US contribute financially to society? There is a dispute about this. The ProPublica report rekindles this debate. The foundation has obtained official tax documents from thousands of the richest Americans, says the journalist Jesse Eisinger involved in the NPR radio station. They cover a period of 15 years. ProPublica initially refers to the reported income from the tax returns of the 25 richest Americans and the increase in wealth over the period that is not taxed. In addition to Bezos, Tesla founder Elon Musk, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg and New York’s ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be there.

If we look at the actual tax on capital growth – which is essentially your income – then its tax rate is 3.4 percent. For people like Jeff Bezos or Warren Buffet, it’s even less.

Far from the top tax rate of 37 percent

The investor Warren Buffet paid 0.1 percent tax on income and asset growth between 2014 and 2018, ProPublica calculates. At Bezos it is just under one percent. Americans pay an average of 14 percent income tax. The top tax rate would be 37 percent. America’s billionaires are far from that. The Biden administration reacted cautiously to the findings. Any unauthorized publication of government documents is against the law, said Biden’s spokeswoman Jen Psaki. The Ministry of Finance is trying to clarify how the tax returns have come to the public.

Generally speaking, we know that more needs to be done to ensure that businesses and high-income citizens do more of their fair share. This is what the President says in his proposals, in his budget, and this is how he wants to pay for his proposals. A government proposal provides for higher taxes for households with an annual income of more than $ 400,000. According to the ProPublica report, however, it is completely unclear whether a corresponding reform will generate additional income as long as the loopholes in the tax laws of the USA are not closed.

EU authority More Piracy in the pandemic

As of: June 8th, 2021 9:10 a.m.

Counterfeit clothing, electronics, cosmetics: According to the EU, product piracy has increased during the pandemic. Recently, counterfeits have been causing problems, especially in the medical field. From Oliver Neuroth, ARD studio Madrid The pandemic has created a huge new market, says Paul Maier, director of the European Observatory on Intellectual Property Infringements. The market for personal corona protective equipment: masks, rapid tests, disinfectants. “We were in a situation in which the industry was not immediately able to create these products in the volume that was necessary for the market. The counterfeiters are incredibly fast.” Just a few days after the lack of good protective masks became apparent last spring, there were tons of offers from China. However, these products, which at first glance appeared to be suitable, turned out to be unusable shortly afterwards because they did not comply with European guidelines. “These people are not the kind of ‘easy criminals’ who are not very dangerous. They belong to the very worst. That also explains why these people were able to react so quickly and in such an organized manner,” says Maier.

Plagiarism worth 120 billion euros

The most common counterfeits include electronics, clothing, toys and cosmetics. In the past year, plagiarism made up almost seven percent of all imports into the EU; it involves goods worth more than 120 billion euros. A good three quarters of the counterfeits came from China. The pandemic also made it easier for product pirates to use their distribution channels, says Maier from the EU Intellectual Property Office. Online retail has been booming for more than a year, with fewer people shopping in stores. “When you hold a fake in your hand, you usually notice straight away: ‘That can’t be the quality I know!’ You don’t see that on the Internet because the counterfeit sellers use the real photographs, “explains Maier. The original product is shown, but a plagiarism is then sent.

Every third person had doubts about the authenticity of a product

Every third consumer in Europe had, according to one study of the EU Office for Intellectual Property when shopping online, doubts whether it is an original or a fake. One in ten says that they have accidentally bought a plagiarism. The expert of the EU authority recommends consumers to buy online only in “Trusted Shops” if possible. And to check that the website has an “https” address, which is considered more secure than the classic “http” pages. Maier also advises buying drugs only from licensed internet pharmacies and never from other sites. Because the network is full of counterfeit medicines. Ingestion can be dangerous. “There is nothing easier to imitate than a pill. You can squeeze it yourself – what is in it, of course, is important. And no consumer can see that.” Counterfeit drugs either contained no active ingredient at all, an incorrectly dosed or even toxic substance.

“Endless Fight”

Finding out who is responsible for plagiarism is extremely difficult, says the expert. “It’s probably a never-ending fight. But you have to fight it.” The EU wants to take more decisive action against product piracy. A few days ago, the Council of Ministers made the fight against organized crime a priority for the next few years. Above all, it is about Internet crime, which also includes counterfeit products.

Image of floods in Central Vietnam in 2020, one of the natural losses of Vietnam. A global study commissioned by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and commissioned by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), shows that public interest in nature has increased markedly (16%). ) over the past five years and continues to increase during the Covid-19 pandemic. The figures are released ahead of the United Nations’ International Day of Biodiversity (May 22), the date chosen to increase public understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. Expressing growing concern about nature People around the world, especially in emerging economies, are becoming more aware of the planet’s environmental crisis. This has impacted their behavior, especially as a wave of what WWF calls an “ecological awakening” is growing. Current trends also show that the behavior of individuals and consumers is affected by these concerns and they demand drastic action to address the loss of nature and biodiversity. The report “Ecological Awakening: Measuring Global Awareness, Participation and Action for Nature” shows that environmental activism is exploding in online media. Over the past four years, mentions of environmental issues on Twitter have increased by 65%, with the topic of nature and biodiversity increasing from 30 million to 50 million. Many influential individuals and entities such as spiritual leaders, politicians and media organizations, news and celebrities, have spoken out for nature, with social media posts. The festival reaches more than 1 billion audiences worldwide. The study also shows that consumers are increasing their interest in nature through Google searches related to this topic, especially in Asian and Latin American countries such as Indonesia (increased). 53%) and India (up 190%). Many consumers around the world are changing their behavior In addition, more and more people are realizing the loss of nature is a serious global problem. Specifically, 96% of people living in Latin America agree with this when surveyed (the region with the highest percentage). This shift from the community reflects a fact worth pondering, as people in developing regions are experiencing more devastating effects from the loss of nature than elsewhere. After an era of protest marches and petitions, now more and more consumers around the world are changing their behavior such as adjusting their buying habits, buying only what is right for them. with their values ​​and needs. The analysis shows a staggering 71% increase in search results for sustainable products since 2016, popular in high-income countries, such as the UK, US, Germany, Australia and Canada. However, this trend is not only found in these economies, but also appears and increases in emerging economies or developing countries such as Indonesia (24%) and Ecuador (120%). This pressure is forcing manufacturing corporations to respond with action, especially in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, fashion and food sectors. Since 2016, more than 159 million signatures for biodiversity-related campaigns have been collected, along with an increase in the magnitude and frequency of protests worldwide to demand requires decision-makers to take drastic action for the planet and future generations, in the face of growing nature conservation movements. Information about Southeast Asian countries in the report. Immediate action is needed to prevent damage to nature However, despite the tremendous rate of destruction of nature and the threat this devastation poses to the global economy and human health, nature is rarely a high-priority topic. global agendas. “Scientists and economists have understood. The public was well aware. And the solutions are also obvious. Both the community and society are supporting the process of transforming economic models and sustainable development in which the protection of nature is considered a moral obligation, in return for the life that the earth brings as well as the vital service this planet provides to our economy, welfare, health and security. This is truly an historic “ecological awakening” and an opportunity to rebalance man’s relationship with nature,” said Marco Lambertini, WWF International Director General. The loss of nature is increasing humanity’s vulnerability to pandemics, undermining efforts to tackle the climate crisis and threatening livelihoods. Leaders are expected to make key decisions later this year on climate and environmental issues. These decisions could represent an important opportunity to reverse biodiversity loss, ensure nature is restored this decade, and support climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals. According to this report, Vietnam, a country with a high level of biodiversity – joined the Climate Change Working Group of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2021. As a country As a member, Vietnam will participate in regional initiatives such as preventing ocean plastic waste, initiatives to tackle air pollution and transboundary water pollution.

On June 13, 2016, the Provincial People’s Committee issued Official Letter No. 894 / UBND-TNMT on the improvement of agricultural land that has been assigned to households and individuals. Accordingly, the Provincial People’s Committee authorizes the People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities to grant permits to renovate agricultural land which has been assigned to households and individuals, in combination with full recovery of leveling land. According to incomplete reported data, the implementation of Official Letter No. 894 / UBND-TNMT of the Provincial People’s Committee and Official Letter No. 702 / STNMT-KS, dated April 20, 2017, Official Letter No. 752 / STNMT-KS, dated 26 -4-2017 of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (TN-MT) on the guidance of licensing procedures for the improvement of agricultural land assigned to households and individuals to combine land reclamation, to date, People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities have granted permits for about 200 cases. According to the general assessment of districts, towns, cities and households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land, this is a very right policy and popular with people when many problems have been solved. and contribute to promoting local socio-economic development. Therefore, the majority of households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land have coordinated with contracting units to perform the ground improvement combined with fully reclamation of leveling land in accordance with the plan, exploiting the right location and licensed area. After being licensed and conducting land improvement, many individual households have abandoned the improved land, did not implement the land recovery plan, planted trees for environmental restoration … according to regulations. Along with that, the fulfillment of financial obligations towards the State, such as: fees for granting mineral mining rights, environmental protection fees, royalties … are fully implemented by households in accordance with regulations. . Land reclamation is carried out from the actual needs of land users to facilitate production. The process of licensing for ground improvement in combination with salvaging land for reclamation has made good use of backfill resources to meet the national goal of building a new countryside (NTM), building infrastructure. floors, land fund creation and production development projects. This issue not only makes an important contribution to socio-economic development but also increases revenue for the local budget; At the same time, to limit the illegal exploitation of land and leveling … * There have been variable generals in implementation In addition to the above positive results, the reflection of voters to the press agencies and the inspection and examination of the authorities shows that: many of the following households and individuals When licensed by the competent authorities (usually these fully renovated land mines are only licensed for a period of 12 months-PV), this license has turned into a “talisman” called “land mine”. exploiting, and then actively exploiting minerals. In many cases, the exploitation exceeds the height, depth and reserves; There are even a few cases of “forgetting” the back ground work or in other words, after the mineral recovery did not comply with the original commitment dossier when applying for a license or having done it, it was just as follows. coping mode. Because the main purpose of the households, this individual is to take advantage of the policy to apply for permits and create a land improvement “cover” to sell land for profit. It is worth mentioning that, taking advantage of this policy, many households are licensed to reclaim land with full use of leveling land with the volume of hundreds of thousands of m3 / year. In particular, there is a situation that some households have taken advantage of exploiting the neighboring land areas even though they have not been licensed to gain illicit profits. The areas assessed as “hot” in the exploitation of landfill are the districts: Quang Trach, Bo Trach, Quang Ninh and Le Thuy. After that, the violations were detected by the People’s Committees of districts, towns, cities and functional agencies and strictly dealt with administrative violations. Specifically, many cases were fined for administrative violations with a fine of 45 million VND, forced to pay back the illicit profits from illegal land exploitation more than 100 million VND / case of violation; At the same time, the license granted. However, these violations have caused pollution, environmental degradation and changed land use purposes, significantly affecting the flora, leaving negative public opinion among the people. * It is necessary to seriously and effectively implement the direction of the Provincial People’s Committee Immediately detecting the above situation, in recent years, the provincial People’s Committee has issued many documents directing to strengthen the state management in exploiting land and leveling in the province. Mr. Phan Xuan Tuan, Head of the Department of Minerals (Department of Natural Resources and Environment), said that, in the face of this fact, to follow the instructions of the Provincial People’s Committee and to manage well the cases of licensing for ground improvement with full recovery of leveling land. Department of Natural Resources and Environment has also issued many documents to direct to districts, towns and cities. Documents of the Department suggest localities to strengthen and improve the quality of inspection, supervision and appraisal of documents to ensure that the land improvement does not cause major terrain distortions, environmental pollution and waste. resource fees for projects that allow ground improvement in combination with full recovery of land and leveling; strengthen inspection and supervision and take effective measures to promptly prevent and strictly handle violations. Special note, the renovation does not affect the safety of power lines, lakes, irrigation dams and other construction works. One point of land improvement with land salvage shows signs of environmental degradation and changes in land use purposes, significantly affecting the flora … The Department requires districts, cities, towns and communes to closely monitor the reserves allowed to be exploited, to improve and restore the environment and plant trees after harvesting, to avoid taking advantage of ground improvement to illegal mineral exploitation.
