Yet there is hope that some of the politicians at their meeting on Thursday and Friday on measures to stabilize the monetary union in the long term. On Monday, Germany and France had developed proposals on how the fiscal and economic coordination can be strengthened in the euro-zone. In government circles, it said on Wednesday, however, the federal government is more pessimistic, if a successful agreement at the EU summit would. "From the many conversations in recent days and weeks, we have the impression, that have not yet understood, a number of players the seriousness of the situation," said a government official.
The oil price for Brent and WTI fell by 0.5 or 0.3 percent, to 110.34 or $ 101.05 per barrel. Besides the concerns about the debt crisis also weighed the increase in oil production of Saudi Arabia on the price. She was a day in November, according to a representative of the Saudi oil industry 10.047 million barrels. Analysts had expected only with 9.45 million barrels.
Gold investors were also finger on Wednesday. The precious metal prices were down by 0.3 percent to $ 1,721 per troy ounce. "Gold is currently behaving like a risky investment and not as a safe haven," Commerzbank analysts wrote in a comment. Any commodity will be in demand again soon.

MLIIF - World Mining Fund Buy

The analysts of "Stock Research Service" currently recommend an
investment in the MLIIF - World Mining Fund (ISIN LU0075056555 / WKN
986 932).

The equity fund MLIIF - World Mining Fund invests in companies whose
business activities would mainly lie in the promotion or production of
base metals and industrial minerals, but also of gold or other
precious metals. In the fund actually had the "Who's Who" of the
industry represented. For here the focus was almost 30 percent of the
total investment on the world market leaders such as the Brazilian
CVRD (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce), the Anglo-Australian companies BHP
Billiton and Rio Tinto and Anglo-South African Anglo-American.

These giants were called diversified very much and would take in many
sub-sectors, market-leading positions. Each of the four set their own
priorities, so that there was in the sum of a balanced mixture of the
major base metals already in these four values. It should be mentioned
that this oligopolistic structures are a guarantee of continued high
prices. In addition, the fund also contains some top professionals
such as Alcoa and Impala Platinum.

Thus, investors would invest in this fund on all major types of raw
materials from the area of ​​basic and precious metals - from gold to
aluminum on iron ore and coal. In addition, but also such exciting raw
materials such as uranium or nickel are represented. Similar to the
oil-service companies in the metals is also opening up new development
areas have been neglected for a long time. Thus meet the increased
demand - especially from Asia - to a barely increased supply, which
have led to price jumps and will continue to lead. The mines and
mining companies would be rewarded by even more for their negligence
in the past. It adds that some steel companies had separated in recent
years from its iron ore mines and now buy their raw materials due to
the skyrocketing prices in world markets expensive for the industry
giants would.

The MLIIF - World Gold Fund have increased in the past twelve months,
approximately 50 percent of its value over the past three years even
over 250 percent. At the sight of ten years, there were 650 percent
fantastic! The management by Evy Hambro had previously proved
successful hands. One end of the uptrend is in the process still not
in sight. The structures of the market and the continued high demand
would continue to provide sparkling gains in the mines and mining
companies, and so the rates would be set further in the near future.
The fund is not just something for fans of raw materials.

Against this background, the analysts advise of "Stock Research
Service," a commitment in the MLIIF - World Mining Fund.

"Volkswagen is untouchable in Lower Saxony"

Country's finance minister Möllring

Lower Saxony wants to reduce the budget deficit to zero by 2017. Since the tax helps blessing of Volkswagen. Finance Möllring wants to keep the country must share. But he's participation at Hannover Airport is in the FAZ interview for discussion.

Mr. Minister, you know what's happened in the last five minutes?

Lower Saxony's finance minister Finance Minister Hartmut Hartmut Möllring What should have happened?
The mortgage loan debt of the state of Lower Saxony rose by € 19 000. Every second will be added 62 €. You must be terribly hurt but as finance minister.
Ad

Yes. And of course it hurts even more because we were actually in Lower Saxony on the right track. If the financial crisis did not come 2009, we have reduced the budget deficit to zero a year later.
Instead, the debt has risen again. Currently there are, depending on reading, 53 to 58 billion euros. How you want to come down there?

Right now the taxes run satisfactorily. We expect this year and next, together with additional revenue of 1.1 billion euros.
Where does the warm rain of money?
Scroll

   * 6.5 billion euros: Volkswagen triples its profit
   * Lower Saxony is considering selling part of VW shares
   * "Sparkassen be 10 billion euros in new loans"
   * After HSH debacle: the rotten system of state banks
   * Merkel to the VW Law: United against the leader of the pack from Stuttgart

VW is booming. That's what we remember of course. The automaker has six works here. The agricultural economy is doing well. Half of the chicken and pork for a third of the whole of Germany come from Lower Saxony.
But that's not enough, especially as the economy deteriorate. The Taxpayers' calls to stop the march to the state debt through unpopular measures.

We were the first state, which has canceled his official Christmas bonuses. We have cut the county government and carried out an administrative reform. On the other hand, we have increased spending on 5 star hotels in education. When the Association of Taxpayers, the population convinced that we need no education, we save a lot of money.
The Court has warned that 26 000 places would be degraded in the provincial administration, to keep the bureaucracy affordable, because of the demographic development.

This number is not traceable.
The country has 180 000 employees, you do not see any action?

In administrative expenditures per capita as well we are compared with the other provinces.
Once again: What do you do to reduce debt?

We have a clear line. We want to reduce the debt every year, so it is at zero in 2017. We have proposed a constitutional amendment.
This also makes exceptions in which soften the debt brake, which you have committed themselves so well.

No. If we increase during an economic crisis or other emergency, the extraordinary debt yet again, we must also decide on an mortgage amortization schedule for these loans.
What the opposition says about this proposal? For a constitutional amendment to require the approval of the SPD.

The talks between the factions run. The ban has worked out a debt commission headed by Oettinger and Struck. Struck is known from Lower Saxony and member of the SPD. It would be funny if the SPD would deny the constitutional amendment here in Massachusetts.
Lower Saxony owns 20 percent of VW shares. Even after the recent price slide, you can redeem for premium loose package including more than 10 billion euros - and make himself immortal as a debt-lowering drugs.

VW is untouchable in Lower Saxony. The Group is the largest employer in the country. And that he should stay.
The VW is also when you sell the land share. BMW also still produced in Bavaria, although the Free State is not involved in the company.

VW has a different history than BMW. The VW's share fell to Lower end of the fifties in the womb. Through our statutory blocking minority, we can prevent plant closures or relocation office.
Are you afraid to be punished with a phase-out of voters' VW?

Yes. The emotional ties to Volkswagen is very strong. The axis is very low in VW.
Lower Saxony holds 26.5 percent and the steel group Salzgitter. Why?

Salzgitter had already been taken over or shut down, if we were not there on board. Coal and ore must always first be trucked. For this transport, the Rhine is more favorable than the Midland Canal.
Their share from 35 percent at Hanover airport, you could sell.

This proportion is in fact not written in stone. Finally, an airport can not move easily. But I do not know if anyone is interested at all.
And then there's the North German state bank. Fusion partners complacent?

We have no natural partner for the Nord LB. The only national bank that would suit us would Helaba. Which will not. And we also do not want.
Why not?

Helaba sits in Frankfurt. As you can imagine, where the fall after a merger decisions would be. Certainly not in Hanover.
And HSH Nordbank?

HSH has two drawbacks. First, where the investment banker Christopher Flowers is committed. As would be our co-owners, the savings banks did not participate for reasons of principle. Second, a merger may face an enormous risk concentrations. Nord LB and HSH are among the five largest logistic services ship financiers of the world. Then we would not 2000 but 4000 ships in the bank. That no one wants.
After the planned capital increase, the proportion of Lower Saxony to the north of LB is currently 42 percent is expected to increase to 57 percent. This will be reflected in the supervisory board?

We will get a more representative on the supervisory board at the expense of Lower Saxony's savings bank association.
If the Nord LB to finally become the plaything of politics?

We have no national bank, to arrange the finance minister or the prime minister can, that this or that company is to get a loan. That would simply infidelity. We also want to reduce our share of long-term back and return to a balance between savings banks and countries. This will happen because the bank buys shares and feeds us.
Bavarian Governor Seehofer has agreed with Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Kretschmann on the formation of a "Federalism Commission III", to develop core principles for reform of the fiscal equalization. Do you want to get involved?

No. I'm reluctant in commissions, of which I expect no result.

The programmed crisis

A survey of the industry association Swissmem shows that nearly three-quarters of the industrial companies are dependent on commodities, the very short time could be scarce. But every third company is doing nothing against the resulting risks.

They are found in monitors, cell phones, magnets, electric motors and batteries: The rare earth minerals called. The materials are also called "spice metals" because they are used as spices in small doses - also decide the success. About 97 percent of world production of rare earths come from China. Since the country has restricted the export, the industrial nations tremble. They fear running out of their high-tech industrial commodities.
The Swiss industry is affected by the problem. This shows a previously unpublished survey by the Association of Swiss engineering, electrical and metal industry (Swissmem). About a fifth of the 1,000 member companies work in one form or another with commodities from the group of rare earths.
But the problem of shortage of raw materials is limited by no means limited to the rare earths, the survey shows. Up to three quarters of the Swiss industrial companies have a long list of commodities depend, is the Swissmem as "critical raw materials." This group includes such materials, the poor can be replaced by other substances and are degraded only in certain countries. Currently, these raw materials are indeed hardly a problem for Swiss companies dar. "But it could quickly become a problem if there is any shortage," says Jean-Philippe Kohl, Vice Director and Head of Swissmem economic policy.
A precarious situation feared the Swiss industrial companies particularly in raw materials such as chromium, molybdenum, magnesium, tungsten, graphite and cobalt. Half of the 1000 Swissmem members needs at least one of these commodities. Although this process the company does not usually directly. The materials put in prefabricated construction products which they import from Vorfabrikanten. But the risk remains: Where in the world from one of these scarce resources, are still in the Swiss industry's wheels.
Many Swiss companies seem to be that risk but not to be aware of. "A third of companies use the critical commodities make no effort to contain the risks involved," said Kohl.
Possibilities exist: firms can develop common procurement strategies. How does it shows the steel company Schmolz + Bickenbach. This is with the giants Arcelor and Thyssen in Germany in France established a purchasing company, in order to secure nickel. "We get better quality and yet at better prices," said Chief Financial Officer Axel Euchner. Companies can avoid shortages of raw materials and by using the sensitive materials less or not - but that requires much research effort.
"Companies need to realize that they are in a dependency that can be exacerbated in the longer term," warns Kohl. So will Swissmem awareness not only firms but also brings in a policy. "It is important that the federal government committed to an open and non-discriminatory trade in commodities," said Kohl. He speaks to a fear of many observers: that China is secure, the U.S. or the EU, the stocks and small countries be left out. However, Kohl shares this fear. "If the efforts of the EU and U.S. in the conflict over critical resources are that export restrictions of all kinds are reduced, this will also benefit the Switzerland of free flow of commodities across borders," said Kohl.
The Federal Office for National Economic Supply, the issue critical commodities in the eye. "We will look at the results of the survey Swissmem accurately and then decide on further action," says branch manager Ruedi Rytz. Whether it makes sense to set up as a counter measure duty bearings for rare materials, but needs to be clarified further.
