Efromovich without “substantial changes” in its proposal – Express

It is with “great concern” that Germán Efromovich see the “complete deterioration” of TAP in recent months. Entrepreneur team source point to Expresso that the proposal “hardly” will be improved. Concerned, says the same source, are beyond the short and medium term debt, about € 100 million in revenues that continue to be held in Venezuela and Angola, the effects of the strike that pilots met in May and which cost € 35 million to the airline, but also the various promotional campaigns to destinations such as Brazil and Africa that TAP has promoted ever since. “We have deepened our ability to sell over the internet which is a sales channel that enables immediate results,” confirms an official source TAP. But reading the team of Efromovich makes these sales is that aim to solve the short-term cash flow problems, but that will have consequences in the future. They count as income now, but it will cost later distinction to the same source.

Another “issue” that is contributing to the “seizure” of Efromovich regard to the contract that TAP has established with respect to ANA Duty Free Shops. The team’s manager is concerned that the airport managing not renew the contract, which is valid until 2020 and that this represents losses for the TAP in the future. Company official sources detailing the turnover of the Duty Free Shops in 2014 was € 180 million, with a benefit for TAP (management fees, dividends and onboard sales) of € 8.85 million.

For these reasons, are not so predictable “substantial changes” in the final offer that Germán Efromovich come due by June 5, the date that the Government set for submission of tenders binding “improved and final” by candidates to the purchase of the Portuguese airline, ended the stage of negotiations provided for in the privatization tender documents. In the race are SAGEF (Synergy Group – Germán Efromovich) and Gateway (DGN, David Neeleman, and HPGB, Humberto Pedrosa, president of Barraqueiro). Contacted, the Neeleman team does not comment on the adjustments that will make your offer.

disponívelpara Banking negotiate debt
Miguel Pais do Amaral, who was excluded from the privatization process, said this week in an interview with “Business Journal” that considers “highly likely” that the state has to assume part of the debt of the Portuguese airline for the company to be sold. Late last year, the bank debt TAP amounted to € 646.7 million, of which € 515.9 million with payment due within one year. And the Express learns from nearby sources of the process, some € 400 million of debt maturing TAP until the new buyer to take possession, that is, before the last quarter of the year. The debt liability will remain in the company, according to the same sources. But soon after the buyer’s choice – decision that the Government intends to take until mid-June – there will be a renegotiation with banks in order to extend debt maturities. In the process, should be the TAP, the state (through Parpública) and the prospective purchaser (even before taking office). From the moment the new owner of TAP is chosen, knowing the investment plan, operational and management capabilities they bring to the company, the banks now will be able to negotiate. Some, indeed, have already expressed their availability to the government.

propostasem discussion
In its proposal on 15 May, Neeleman proposes a capital increase between € 300 million and € 350 million and an investment in the fleet with the purchase of 53 aircraft (which will have to order), especially long-haul. The offer provides for the strengthening of links within Brazil (to feed the transatlantic flights) and more flights from Lisbon to other destinations in the United States, as well as the sharing of 10% of the dividends to workers as it does in the Brazilian Blue or US JetBlue (another low-cost carrier founded by Neeleman).

Efromovich competes for the second time the purchase of TAP. After almost have been 100% of the group in 2012 – was not for lack of guarantees – Germán Efromovich now offers an injection of about € 250 million in “new money” (of which € 150 million to € 180 million to capitalize on immediately) and € 100 million in “kind” – 12 new aircraft that Avianca is already available for TAP operate: six A330 (long course) and six A320 (high school). Still promises fleet renewal Portugália (PGA), and in all plans to add 38 aircraft to the TAP group and to ensure the arrival of the Airbus A350 12 that the company has anticipated receiving from 2017 (ie 50 aircraft in total) . The strategic plan presented are part of the development of relations TAP with Latin and South America and the United States as well as the profitability of the Beja airport as a logistics center group load, with synergies with the port of Sines, turning one a load infrastructure group hub (TAP and Avianca) for Europe.

Government wants to limit internal access to data of taxpayers – publico

                 

                         
                     

                         

                 

 
                         

After identifying the major flaws in the protection of tax secrecy of taxpayers, the Tax and Customs Authority (TA) has until June 19 to map out a plan to control the access of tax officials. The government wants to pass the query to be justified and grounded for each worker. The idea is to bring the computer mechanisms of procedures for access to the E-Invoice data, the query is restricted to a smaller group of AT staff. The measure is, however, to generate confusion with the representatives of the employees, who fear that a barrier is created in access to information, especially for those who make tax inspection.

                     

                          The guidance came from the Secretary of State for Fiscal Affairs, Paulo Nuncio in an order signed on Tuesday, the same day they were published the findings of the investigation of the Finance Inspectorate (IGF) to the case of VIP list . In its order, that the PUBLIC had access, the ruling establishes six priorities, among them, ensure that “access to personal data held by taxpayers internal users are justified and substantiated with particular reference to the procedure already adopted in the design and implementation of the E-invoice system. “

The president of the Trade Union Association of Professionals of the Tax and Customs Inspectorate (PATI), Nuno Barroso, considers it necessary to discuss the creation of different profiles on access to information tax, “according to the functions that each employee performs, regardless of race and the title that everyone has.” But it stresses that this is different from the procedure that now exists to protect access to the E-Invoice bases, the computer system, validated by the National Data Protection Authority (DPA), which contains the invoices submitted by companies (or taxpayer) .

In the order, the Secretary of State for Fiscal Affairs identifies as one of the problems to be addressed that there is no prior registration to “legitimize and justify access to data by the taxpayers about 11 thousand internal users, without the same are duly authorized, particularly for higher determination or administrative act “. The orientation of the ruler is, however, not clear as to how it should develop this control.

The president of PATI, create a system in which access must be justified will cause difficulties. “Forcing a systematic record may create some obstacles in the fast way intended to AT work. Would create, especially in inspecting careers, a barrier that would be incomprehensible to access information. ” Nuno Barroso also points out what it says is the danger of restricting the scope of employee activity. “Within the AT espoletadas were some of the most complex investigations the past two decades. These transactions were carried out with a free access. If we restrict it to small groups of people, hardly ever return to have a Hurricane operation in the country. “

What PATI proposes instead are types of computer profile but without the users need a prior record: “If I’m an inspector and secretarial service, maybe I do not need to have the same permissions as an inspector with the same title but is a research tool”

In the document, Paul. nuncio asks the managing director of TA, Helena Borges, to follow up its recommendation to the IGF that evaluate “all acts, facts and relevant statements” of employees and tax authorities of the leaders with responsibilities in case of VIP list to be considered any disciplinary procedures. The AT is also responsible for reviewing hiring external entities with access to tax authorities databases and create certification mechanism and computer audit. The action plan must respect the recommendations of the IGF and the CNDP, to which AT has to give notice of these measures by the end of September.

228 issued alerts
The president of the Union of Taxation Employees (STI), Paul Ralha, which considered the report of the IGF “is not free, nor suitable” for the fact that it would be governed by the Minister of Finance, completely rejects any restrictions system access. “This will make it impossible to control home [tax authority] to do any serious research in terms of combating fraud and tax evasion,” says Paul Ralha, adding that “there is absolutely no tradition of breach of tax secrecy, all processes which indicated wanton being filed. “

In about five months he spent working (between 29 September 2014 and 10 February this year), the system designed by AT to detect who acceded to data tax the VIP list of contributors generated 228 alerts, completed the IGF in the report that the PUBLIC consulted. The audit does not indicate, however, whether such access led to the breaking of tax secrecy. Concerns that were brought 33 disciplinary proceedings that resulted, not from warnings VIP system, but the investigations made by AT after the i newspaper had published on 26 September last year Passos Coelho tax data.
