Proyecto consensuado de Port Vell em Barcelona
"Un proyecto consensuado con el ayuntamiento de Barcelona e la Generalitat de Cataluña", foi assim que começou a apresentação de Port Vell, o terminal de cruzeiros de Barcelona que está entre um dos mais concorridos do Mediterrâneo, numa conferência promovida em meados de 2007 pelo Porto de Aveiro.
O Consenso é de facto um dos principais factores de sucesso na infra-estrutura e nos serviços públicos, tratando-se de projectos
(1) de grande dimensão e elevado custo,
(2) de vida útil muito longa e
(3) de grande importância para a economia e a sociedade.
Ninguém é indiferente aos serviços públicos, desde os utilizadores aos contribuintes, desde os empreiteiros e fornecedores, aos trabalhadores, desde as associações empresariais às autoridades municipais, nacionais europeias.
As Partes Interessadas são numerosas, e tem que ser informadas e ouvidas na fase preliminar de consulta pública e ao longo de todas as fases de preparação, aprovação, execução e exploração do projecto.
Projectos com longos periodos de preparação e construção e com vida útil superior a 40 ou 50 anos ultrapassam largamente uma legislatura. A sua elevada complexidade exige bastante continuidade, não podendo depender apenas da decisão isolada de um governo nem de um partido.
Segundo os especialistas como a IFC, é essencial envolver as Partes Interessadas (Stakeholders) no processo de preparação e acompanhamento, ainda que a decisão e a implementação seja afinal da responsabilidade do Governo. Mas as Partes Interessadas também têm que saber intervir no momento certo e da forma certa. As Partes Interessadas têm legitimidade para serem envolvidas no processo mas têm que ter responsabilidade e razoabilidade. Contestações e exigencias destrutivas ou fora de tempo podem gerar maiores riscos e custos adicionais, que ficam quase sempre por conta do contribuinte. É sempre necessário considerar numerosos critérios, técnicos, comerciais, ambientais e legais, e conjugar interesses por vezes inconsistentes ou até antagónicos.
Nos grandes projectos estruturantes, não há soluções ideais, mas pode haver soluções consensuais, isto se todas as Partes Interessadas souberem trabalhar para o melhor projecto possível.
E só os projectos consensuais são bancáveis, só os projectos consensuais merecem o apoio dos contribuintes.
Como se pode traduzir "proyecto consensuado" para português ?
Com muito esforço e abertura.
Um projecto consensuado é afinal um projecto baseado num "consenso suado", provavelmente o melhor alicerce para uma ILD, Infra-estrutura de Longa Duração.

Espanha representa 12% das vendas da Abreu e sobe a 16% em 2008
Os destinos de Espanha representam 12 por cento da facturação da Agência Abreu, um peso que a empresa espera aumentar para 16 por cento até final de 2008.
O director da empresa explicou que Espanha é o mercado mais importante para a Abreu que se especializou neste produto, um trabalho agora reconhecido pelo governo espanhol com a atribuição da "Condecoração de Mérito Turístico", um prémio de cariz mundial pela primeira vez destinado a uma empresa portuguesa.
O objectivo apontado pelo director da Agência Abreu é apresentar Espanha como um destino diversificado, com base na promoção da cultura, património e gastronomia característicos de regiões e cidades, em alternativa ao sol e praia, mais divulgados entre os portugueses.
Com um investimento de cerca de 450 mil euros anuais em acções de promoção de destinos em Espanha, o operador turístico quer continuar a apostar neste país, nomeadamente em Andaluzia, que vai ser o "patrocinador oficial" da edição de 2008 da sua feira Mundo Abreu.
A empresa quer aínda aumentar o peso do destino Espanha na actividade da Abreu, para 16 por cento em 2008.
Como exemplo da presença de Espanha na oferta da Abreu, o director da empresa refere que no seu site na internet é possível obter uma confirmação imediata de 150 hotéis naquele país.
Este ano, as vendas da Abreu para Espanha rondam os 62 mil pacotes de férias.
A Agência Abreu foi fundada no Porto em 1840, por Bernardo Abreu e ainda hoje pertence à mesma família e descendentes directos, na quinta geração. A Abreu opera em Espanha desde a sua fundação, em 1840, e está representada directamente em Madrid, desde 1977, em Barcelona desde 2000, estando presentemente em processo de abertura de um novo escritório em Málaga.
Actualmente, tem 105 lojas em todo o país, incluindo em centros comerciais, apresenta várias alternativas de destinos de viagens, além de Portugal, Espanha ou Brasil, como Cuba ou República Dominicana, e acompanha a evolução das tendências dos mercados e dos consumidores, com a aposta nas vendas on-line.

Espanha assumiu-se como um dos mercados mais importantes a nível mundial, esperando-se que no ano 2008 supere a barreira dos 65 milhões de turistas estrangeiros, devido aos cerca de cinco milhões de visitantes esperados, na Exposição Universal de Zaragoza (Expo 2008). A oferta turística para a Península Ibérica está neste momento numa fase de acelerado crescimento, podendo Portugal vir a aproveitar desse facto e aumentar igualmente o seu número de visitantes em 2008.

Atraso de 5 anos no Viaduto Carnaxide Miraflores em debate a 6-Nov-07
O VIADUTO sobre a A-5 foi montado nas madrugadas de 7 e 8 de Dezembro 2002, mas ainda não foi aberto ao tráfego em 2007. A ligação entre Carnaxide e Miraflores está cada vez mais congestionada, causando grande saturação nas ruas de Linda-a-Velha.
O boletim municipal foi dando notícia das obras ao longo de 2002, mas o portal da Câmara Municipal de Oeiras não oferece explicação pelo bloqueio deste projecto de investimento público não produtivo, em que os utilizadores não tiram qualquer proveito do dinheiro gasto pelos contribuintes.
Segundo uma entrevista ao Presidente da Junta de Linda-a-Velha, o projecto está sujeito a embargo instaurado pelo Ministério do Ambiente, o resultado de uma série de erros que
A questão dos transportes e acessibilidades na Freguesia de Linda-a-Velha vai ser agora debatida.

From takeover target to white knight to create a new Banco Millennium BPI
Banco BPI is coming to the defense of the enbattled Banco Millennium BCP with a proposal to create a large new bank which can dominate the small Portuguese market and have a significant profile in Europe and elsewhere.
On 25-Oct-2007, a new attempt at a merger in Portuguese banking comes with Banco BPI proposing a share-swap and merger with Banco Millennium BCP which is valid until 15-Nov-07.
Banco BPI resisted successfully as target in a failed hostile takeover attempt by Millennium BCP, and now becomes white knight in defense of its bidder.
Driving this potential merger is the potential threat of another hostile takeover from Spanish banks. With the merger, that threat would be reduced. In fact, the Spanish bank La Caixa, which currently owns 25% of Banco BPI, would be diluted to less than 10% in the new Banco Millennium BPI.
O Banco BPI passou de alvo a salvador do Banco Millennium BCP que ficou fragilizado depois da tentativa fracassada de aquisição hostil, com a proposta de uma permuta de acções que criaria o grande banco combinado Banco Millennium BPI.
Sobre esta tentativa de fusão paira a ameaça de uma potencial OPA-oferta publica de aquisição vinda do estrangeiro, como por exemplo de um banco espanhol.
O banco espanhol La Caixa, que actualemente detém 25% do Banco BPI, ficaria diluido com menos de 10% do novo Banco Millennium BPI.

Companies with women leaders deliver greater value
The greatest out-performing companies are those with three or more women in senior positions, reports Alison Maitland in an article for the Financial Times.
New research from McKinsey shows that when women make up a third or more of the senior team, companies perform better on a set of nine organisational criteria, including accountability, innovation and work environment.
The US research body Catalyst backs up the McKinsey findings with evidence that companies with three or more women on the board show an 83 per cent higher average return on equity, 73 per cent higher return on sales and 112 per cent higher return on invested capital.
Although the studies are careful to note that such links do not necessarily mean senior women bring about superior financial performance, it is thought that marked changes in behavioural and environmental factors occur when the gender balance is significantly redressed.
Whereas a sole woman on a board may feel marginalised, and two women may be seen as potential conspirators, research concludes that a more collaborative approach occurs when there are three or more women, because they are seen simply as directors rather than female directors.
Coinciding with these findings, the Financial Times, Financial Times Deutschland and Fortune magazine recently published their annual rankings for top women in business.
The Financial Times and Financial Times Deutschland turned to Egon Zehnder International for assistance in compiling the 2007 list of Europe’s top businesswomen.
Full story. Alison Maitland: “Top women tip the scales” in Financial Times (10 October 2007) and Fortune (October 2007).

Portugal duplica participação na Iberwine 2007, em Novembro em Madrid
Portugal assumirá particular protagonismo na feira de vinho de Madrid Iberwine 2007, em Novembro, um dos mais importantes certames do tipo, quase duplicando o espaço de exposição e de presenças. De 13 a 15 de Novembro de 2007, o "Parque Ferial Juan Carlos I" de Madrid (IFEMA) será sede da IBERWINE, a maior feira de vinhos do mundo ibérico, bem como um grande centro de negócios, no qual as transacções terão um elevado protagonismo.O salão internacional do vinho (Madrid International Wine Fair) converteu-se num encontro imprescindível do calendário viticultor mundial. Um comité organizador de acentuado carácter internacional garante a presença dos melhores compradores do mundo. Os vinhos de toda a península Ibérica têm a oportunidade de divulgar (a nível mundial) a enorme riqueza que escondem a um elenco de compradores internacionais e também peninsulares.
A presença portuguesa deverá ocupar 345 metros quadrados no certame, quer a nível colectivo, quer a nível individual, encontrando-se nesse espaço, produtores, câmaras de comércio e denominações de origem. Os vinhos procedentes de países ibero-americanos, irão ser outra presença com destaque neste evento.
Os organizadores insistem no papel da Iberwine na promoção de vinhos ibéricos nos mercados internacionais, notando, por exemplo, o recente acordo entre este certame e a Miami Internacional Wine Fair.

Os vinhos portugueses são já conhecidos pela sua qualidade. Recentemente, o "The New York Times" elegeu um vinho português como a melhor escolha em vinhos abaixo dos 10 dólares, cerca de sete euros. O "Padre Pedro", da Casa Cadaval é produzido no Ribatejo e conquistou os jornalistas do prestigiado jornal norte-americano. Para além disso, quatro vinhos portugueses fazem parte da lista dos 100 melhores vinhos do ano da influente revista norte-americana "Wine & Spirits". Entre os quatro destacados estão três vinhos do Porto. O melhor vinho português foi o da Quinta do Crasto Douro Reserva 2004, em segundo lugar, os vinhos Taylor Fladgate Porto Vargellas 2004 e o Taylor Fladgate Porto Vargellas Vinha Velha 2004. Em quarto lugar surge o Quinta do Feital Vinho Verde Dourado Alvarinho 2005.
Mais do que uma aposta na divulgação da qualidade dos vinhos portugueses no exterior, a presença neste evento deverá servir igualmente para reforçar as relações comerciais com os países importadores de vinho e desta forma aumentar as exportações do mesmo e reforçar a imagem de Portugal como país de origem.

Espanhóis só associam cinco marcas a Portugal
Segundo um estudo elaborado pela Câmara de Comércio e Indústria Luso Espanhola, as marcas que os espanhóis associam a Portugal são a Caixa Geral de Depósitos, a Galp, Banco Espírito Santo (BES), Delta e Luís Simões.Os espanhóis têm uma forte apetência para comprarem marcas nacionais em detrimento das estrangeiras, mas no caso das portuguesas identificam a CGD, BES, Galp, Delta e Luís Simões com o país de origem, destaca o mais recente estudo elaborado por esta Câmara de Comércio.
O trabalho, que identificou 400 empresas lusas em território espanhol, permitiu reunir entre 2004 a 2006 os dados detalhados de 180 destas empresas.
Segundo o estudo, só entre as cinco maiores empresas portuguesas em Espanha representam aproximadamente três quartos (72 por cento) do volume de facturação do conjunto das 180 empresas cujos indicadores foi possível recolher.
Assim, ao nível da facturação, estas cinco empresas facturaram 7,9 mil milhões de euros em 2006. O "ranking" das cinco maiores empresas portuguesas em Espanha é liderado pela Galp Energia, com um volume de negócios de 2,5 mil milhões de euros.
Seguem-se a Hidrocantábrica Del Cantábrico, do grupo EDP com 2,1 mil milhões de euros e da Tafisa, do grupo Sonae com 1,7 mil milhões de euros de facturação.
Na quarta posição aparece a Cimpor Inversiones - grupo Cimpor, com uma facturação de 1,13 mil milhões de euros, seguida pela Sovena Ibérica de Aceites (grupo Nutrinveste), com um volume de negócios da ordem dos 476 milhões de euros no ano passado.
Cada português compra a Espanha anualmente cerca de 1.500 euros e vende 873 euros, sendo que Portugal representa para Espanha o seu quarto mercado receptor de produtos e bens e o seu oitavo fornecedor.
Os bens mais transaccionados entre estes países, quer de um lado quer de outro, são produtos da indústria auxiliar mecânica e da construção e os bens de tecnologia industrial, salienta o estudo. A confecção e a moda estão entre o terceiro e o quarto lugar entre os produtos mais transaccionados entre os dois países, a que não é alheia a existência dos grupos espanhóis Inditex e El Corte Inglês. Na área financeira os bancos portugueses têm uma quota de mercado de 0,5 por cento, enquanto os espanhóis têm uma posição no mercado português da ordem dos 15 por cento.
De facto, estas cinco marcas identificadas pelos consumidores espanhóis, como sendo representativas da imagem do país de origem Portugal, são algumas das marcas portuguesas mais fortemente internacionalizadas e cujo esforço que efecturam na sua promoção no exterior, tem sido reconhecido pelo sucesso alcançado nas respectivas áreas de actividade. Seria desejável no entanto que em vez de cinco marcas, o número fosse bastante superior bem como o número de empresas portuguesas presentes em Espanha e que os incentivos à exportação e promoção das empresas no exterior fossem maiores. Pois assim, o número de exportações aumentaria, a imagem de Portugal no exterior seria optimizada e os empresários poderiam adquirir mais confiança.

Vocabulário PPP para melhores parcerias
As parcerias publico-privadas são modelos contratuais muito complexas e convém conhecer os conceitos e os vocábulos mais convencionais.
A - Análises de sensibilidade (sensitivity analysis), são os resultados do Modelo Financeiro do projecto em diversos cenários, isto é com pressupostos mais pessimistas ou mais optimistas
B - Bancável (bankable), um projecto bem estruturado, com os riscos bem quantificados e assumidos pelas partes que melhor os podem suportar, satisfaz os financiadores e por isso tem acesso a financiamento

Bolhas Dot.com e credito hipotecário alimentadas com fundos internacionais
Segundo analistas, a bolha de investimentos em empresas ligadas à Internet, as chamadas Dot.com, foi alimentada por investidores internacionais ansiosos em apanhar a onda do mercado americano, o mais dinâmico. Quando o sector entrou em rotura, as perdas foram partilhadas por investidores em todo o mundo.
A bolha das Dot.com cedeu o lugar à bolha do crédito hipotecário nos Estados Unidos que viu os preços das casas a trepar por aí acima. Também esta mais recente bolha do imobiliário foi alimentada por investidores estrangeiros, que investiram nas titularizações hipotecárias, algumas baseadas em crédito à habitação mais alavancadas e de qualidade inferior (subprime mortgages).
No crédito à habitação mais tradicional, um banco recolhe depósitos e faz crédito aos seus clientes locais. Actualmente, qualquer banco pode junta milhares de créditos hipotecários em pacotes, financiando-os não com depósitos mas com a emissão de títulos (daí a o nome de titulizarização ou securitization). Com o beneplácito das agências de rating, o banco que dá origem ao crédito à habitação (originator) pode colocar esses títulos para obter funding junto dos investidores locais, ou dos investidores do outro lado do mundo.
Assim as bolhas nas empresas de Internet ou no crédito à habitação são auto-alimentadas pelo excesso de investimentos atraídos de todo o mundo. Quando as bolhas rebentam, como é inevitável, os efeitos podem ser também sentidos em todo o mundo.
No entanto, a crise no mercado de hipotecas de qualidade inferior (subprime mortgages) pode ter um impacto mais profundo do que o rotura das Dot.com. O crédito hipotecário é muito mais importante para qualquer economia do que os investimentos mais ou menos especulativos em empresas inovadoras. A crise começa directamente com as famílias endividadas que não conseguem pagar as prestações do crédito à habitação a taxa variável, que vão subindo com a taxa de juro. Vai aparecendo cada vez mais crédito malparado no sector da habitação e não apenas nos créditos mais alavancados. Os investidores do outro lado do mundo, que pensavam ter investido em títulos hipotecários com bom rating, procuram desfazer-se desses investimentos e refugiar-se em aplicações mais seguras e sobretudo mais transparentes, como depósitos bancários, certificados de aforro ou obrigações do Tesouro (flight to quality).
A crise do crédito hipotecário ainda pode ir bastante mais longe, pois dois motivos:
1. O nível de crédito malparado vai certamente continuar a subir, especialmente se os preços de casas em alguns mercados caírem até 10-25% como prevêem os analistas.
2. Não se sabe ao certo a exposição de muitos fundos e investidores internacionais aos títulos hipotecários (mortgage backed securities) americanos. Num clima de incerteza, as reacções dos investidores podem ser imprevisíveis e exageradas, criando algum efeito dominó.
O impacto mais generalizado consiste na volatilidade da taxa de juro, que afecta a todos.
Os preços das casas podem cair, mas isso depende muito mais da conjuntura local do que das tendências internacionais. A bolha no imobiliário reflecte o crescimento excessivo do crédito, mas o crédito fácil pode reflectir-se também noutros sectores, incluindo no consumo de bens duráveis e outras importações, ou no financiamento ao investimento de baixa produtividade.
Como sempre, os bancos e os investidores institucionais ou individuais que estiverem mais diversificados e mais prudentes na concessão de crédito aguentarão melhor o impacto.

Lombas AMPLIFICADORAS
Chega de lombadas dizem os brasileiros e bem.
Quando colocadas a poucos metros das habitaçoes, as lombas de borrocha servem mais para amplificar o ruido do tráfego e prejudicar os moradores, do que para amansar os motoristas.

Turistas estrangeiros gastam em média 837 Euros em Espanha
Embora a duração da estadia dos turistas estrangeiros em Espanha tenha diminuido, o gasto total dos mesmos aumentou 3,1% nos sete primeiros meses do ano, aumentando o montante gasto por turista em 1,1%.A sondagem de gasto turístico do Ministério de Indústria, Turismo e Comércio revela que os visitantes estrangeiros reduziram a sua estadia em cerca de 3,1% em relação ao ano passado. A despesa total dos estrangeiros até Julho deste ano foi de 27.545 milhões de euros, cerca de 837 euros por pessoa, pelo que o gasto médio diário dos turistas aumentou 92 euros, 4,4% mais. No entanto, a sua estadia teve a duração de 9 dias.
Por outro lado, no mês de Julho, o gasto total dos turistas estrangeiros atingiu o valor de 6.519 millhões de euros, 3,5% acima do que em igual período do ano passado. O gasto médio efectuado por turista aumentou 1,7%, ascendendo aos 867 euros. O gasto médio diário foi de 90 euros, 7,1% mais, enquanto que a duração média da estadia foi 6,2% inferior, com a duração de 10 noites.
Os turistas europeus destacaram-se dos restantes, representando 86,8% do gasto total de Julho, em especial provenientes do Reino Unido e Alemanha, efectuando 42,9% da receita total. Ambos os países gastaram menos do que há um ano. O terceiro país foi França, que ao contrário dos restantes, aumentou a sua despesa.

O Secretário de Estado do Turismo afirma que o retrocesso dos pacotes turísticos, junto com o aumento dos gastos diários por turista e a redução do tempo de permanência são tendências que se têm vindo a observar em toda a Espanha e a nível mundial.
Para além disso, em 2008 Espanha irá acolher a Exposição Universal de Zaragoza (Expo 2008), sendo esperados cerca de cinco milhões de visitantes, segundo dados divulgados por fontes ligadas ao sector do Turismo, o que irá superar a barreira dos 65 milhões de visitantes em 2008.
