Heute die Panorama Strecke im #EC statt #ICE, Wagen von #SBB und jetzt gleich paar Stunden in dem altgedienten Wagons.
Der ICE fiel aus, der Ersatz ICE lies keine Reservierung zu, das habe ich natürlich erst bemerkt als zu spät war für die frühere Verbindung. Naja #Bahn halt.

#European Commission investigates the idea of an EU Asset Registry

The European Commission is investigating the idea of an EU Asset Registry. It has published a tender for a “Feasibility Study for a European Asset Registry in the Context of the Fight [Against Money Laundering] and Tax Evasion”.

The tender specifies to “aim at exploring how to collect and link information available from various sources on asset ownership (e.g. land registries, company registers, trusts and foundations registers, central depositories of securities ownership, etc.) and analyse the design, scope, and challenges for such [an EU] asset registry.”

With regards to which assets would be registered, the document, published in July, notes:

“The possibility to include in the registry data related to the ownership of other assets such as cryptocurrencies, works of art, real estate, and gold, shall also be considered.”

The idea is that the study provides an overview of the possible resources such a registry would rake in, while it would cover operational and IT challenges, the political and legal feasibility and technical implementation.

EU draft exempts private jets, cargo from jet fuel tax

Private jets will enjoy an exemption through classification of "business aviation" as the use of aircraft by firms for carriage of passengers or goods as an "aid to the conduct of their business", if generally considered not for public hire. A further exemption is given for "pleasure" flights whereby an aircraft is used for "personal or recreational" purposes not associated with a business or professional use.
