Bezannes, November 15, 2019 – The ViO80-2PB, a new midi excavator by Yanmar, has the performance of a large machine and the advantages of a compact excavator. Designed to work effectively on a wide range of construction sites, it combines performance, versatility, comfort and reliability. With this machine, Yanmar once again underlines its position as a leading manufacturer in the compact equipment sector.
The 8-ton midi excavator convinces with an adjustable boom of a unique design. The additional articulation of the boom improves the machine”s manoeuvrability and precision when positioning loads, as it can be lifted faster and lowered slowlier. A monocylinder is located in the upper part of the boom, reducing the excavator’s own weight and increasing its stability. With a very slim structure, the boom also possesses one of the best views in the market. For efficient and precise work in darkness, the standard version of the ViO80-2PB has three LED lights in the boom and at the front of the cabin. The LED technology provides strong light with reduced energy consumption, increasing the battery life.
What is also new: The ViO80-2PB is equipped with the Yanmar 4TNV98C-WBV1 engine, with 55.6 HP and a direct injection Common Rail System. The fuel injection is controlled and adjusted by an electronic control unit, ensuring clean combustion and optimum operating conditions for the engine. The cooled exhaust gas recirculation and diesel particle filter strongly reduce nitrogen oxides and pollutant emissions. The excavator fulfills the EU exhaust gas regulations. Also, it is by default equipped with an automatic idling function and Eco mode.
The operator is always in the focus of Yanmar’s design initiatives. Therefore, the “Universal Design” concept offers an ergonomic environment, an exceptional level of safety and excellent visibility. The design of the cabin provides a 360-degree panoramic view. This helps improving safety on the job site while enabling more efficient work. The air-suspended driver’s seat has many adjustment options to help the operator find the optimum seating position. The dashboard and the armrest have been redesigned, the footwell area has been enlarged and the cabin access improved – all for enhanced operator comfort.
With the ViO80-2PB, the Yanmar midi excavator range now includes seven models for all application areas. Whether building construction, landscaping, earthworks, levelling, demolition or road construction – every user will find the right machine for his needs.

Financial information was automatically exchanged once again on September 30, 2019. Those with unreported income in foreign accounts can still submit a voluntary declaration leading to immunity from tax evasion charges.
The automatic exchange of (financial) information (AEOI) occurs regularly at the end of September, with Germany”s Federal Ministry of Finance (Bundesfinanzministerium) exchanging financial information with around 100 countries this year as well. For the authorities, the AEOI is a powerful weapon in the fight against tax evasion. Its reach is not limited to countries such as Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Austria or Switzerland; many other countries that were once considered tax havens take part in the exchange.
In doing so, the German tax authorities receive vast amounts of data and information concerning foreign accounts, income, interest, and dividends. Tax evaders who have deposited untaxed income in foreign accounts, on the other hand, are now scarcely able to conceal their tax evasion from the German tax authorities. We at the commercial law firm MTR Rechtsanwälte note that submitting a voluntary declaration leading to immunity from tax evasion charges still represents a way out of this situation.
Given the ever-increasing risk that the tax evasion will be uncovered, tax evaders should not kick voluntary disclosure into the long grass. Voluntary disclosure can only succeed if there are no grounds impeding its success. This means that the tax evasion must not yet have been discovered by the authorities.
However, it is equally important for a voluntary declaration to be well prepared and not hastily put together on one”s own or with the help of standard templates, as a voluntary declaration can only lead to immunity if it is complete and error-free. It must include all relevant information from the past ten years. Complying with these requirements is a tall order for a layperson. Those who nonetheless decide to take their chances and forgo expert legal advice risk voluntary disclosure failing. Even minor errors can lead to an invalid voluntary declaration.
To prevent this from happening, lawyers with experience in the field of tax law ought to be consulted when dealing with voluntary disclosure. They can assess each case individually and know what information needs to be included in the voluntary declaration for it to be capable of leading to immunity.

Switzerland, November 2019 – Data sovereignty should be the central design principle of the data economy; an economy in which everyone – organisations and consumers alike – will enjoy control over their data and thrive from all the benefits that sharing data entails. This is a challenge which policy-makers and organisations must address now.
Using data sovereignty to create new value is the key theme of the Data Sharing Days, taking place in The Hague on January 27 and 28, 2020.
Among the growing list of keynote speakers is professor of semantic web technology, Ruben Verborgh, from the Ghent University, Belgium. He works on Solid; a new ecosystem started by the World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, and will speak about “reshaping the web with linked data apps”. Additionally, Susan Morrow, a prominent member of the “Women in Identity” community, will elaborate on what needs to happen in the digital identity landscape in order to achieve data sovereignty. And Paul Ham, General Manager Business Development at Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam will present a new data service that allows better planning in the logistical chain.

Ready-made software solutions no longer cut it in many businesses whose needs require dedicated software. In this context, attention needs to be paid to how the project contract is drafted.
A lot of business sectors require the use of specially developed software that is tailored in detail to individual requirements. We at the commercial law firm MTR Rechtsanwälte https://www.mtrlegal.com/en/ note that in order to avoid legal disputes between the developer and the contractor at a later date, it is crucial to precisely define in a project contract the performance requirements as well as the rights and obligations of the client and the contractor.
Essential points that ought to be regulated in a project contract are a precise performance specification, the timeframe, the costs, and, of course, the rights of use.
In many instances, only a brief outline is provided of the requirements that need to be met by the software. A vague description is in practice not enough, especially if problems with technical implementation or delays arise. That is why the performance expected of the developer should be precisely defined from the outset. One possibility to this end is to create a functional specification and product requirement document, which then forms an integral part of the contractual agreement.
One obvious requirement is the provision of a timetable setting out when each stage of development is reached and when the software is ready to be accepted by the client.
Delays typically go hand in hand with additional costs, and these must be agreed upon in the project agreement as well. It needs to be clarified what budget is available, whether there is any financial leeway, whether calculations are made according to effort or a fixed price is agreed upon, and whether provision is made for installments. The issue of whether subsequent remedial work is included in the price should also be clarified in advance.
Another important aspect is rights of use. Software developments and computer programming are protected by copyright. Generally speaking, the client does not obtain the copyright but instead merely a right of use. The scope of this right of use should equally be clearly defined in the contract.
Standard-form contracts are normally not sufficient when dealing with such complex issues. It is therefore advisable to draft detailed project contracts. Lawyers with experience in the field of IT law can offer advice.
