To ask the President of the Republic the submission of a project to extend the term established in the Law 20.742, which allows the municipalities in the country to waive debts for fines and any applicable interest to the rights of toilet, it is the object of the resolution 171, adopted by the board of the Chamber of Deputies.

The text, ratified by 124 votes in favor and one abstention, describes that Law 20,742, which improves the supervisory role of the Council, strengthens transparency and probity in the municipalities; creates charges and modifies regulations on people and municipal finances.

In its article 11, the parliamentarians point out, the municipal authorities are empowered so that, within the twelve months following the date of publication of this law and prior agreement of the respective council, they enter into an agreement for the payment of debts for the right to cleanliness . They also add that, they can forgive fines and interest for that concept.

In that sense, the document states that the period expired on April 1, 2015, with thousands of taxpayers having regularized their situation, given that, as indicated at the time by the Chilean Association of Municipalities, 40% of the defaulters do not know what they owe and that, many times, for the additional charges, the total amount to be paid is twice the original debt, adding in turn that, this is a debt that is never extinguished.

But, continues the text, the rule establishes, once that term is over, that the municipalities must proceed with the respective judicial collection, which they seek to avoid the municipalities, at least because it produces those people who want to pay, but they are with that in addition to the amount of arrears, they must cancel the interest and readjustments for the time elapsed.

The resolution was presented by Independent Representative Pablo Prieto, along with the RN Sofía Cid, José Miguel Castro, Ximena Ossandón, Andrés Celis and Catalina Del Real, as well as the UDI Rolando Rentería, Ramón Barros and Nicolás Noman, together with the deputy for Evopoli

The President of the European Commission has presented to MEPs a proposal to end in 2019 the obligation for Member States to advance clocks by one hour in March and to reduce them by the same amount in October.

What is the project?

At the request of the European Parliament, the Commission conducted a public consultation on seasonal time changes during the summer of 2018 which collected 4.6 million responses (the highest participation rate ever recorded for a consultation). organized by the Commission). 84% of those who responded said they favored their removal.

The Commission therefore proposes to end these changes from 2019, leaving the 28 Member States free to decide whether they want to permanently apply summer time or winter time. In accordance with the legislative proposal, Member States should coordinate their choices in order to safeguard the proper functioning of the internal market and to avoid the fragmentation that may occur in a situation where some decide to continue to apply the time-related rules. while others would delete them.

To ensure a smooth transition, the proposed Directive requires each Member State to notify the Commission by April 2019 of its intention to permanently apply summer time or winter time. The last compulsory daylight saving time will be on Sunday 31 March 2019. Member States wishing to return permanently to winter time will have the possibility of making a final change on Sunday 27 October 2019. After this date, seasonal time changes will no longer be possible.

This proposal will now be submitted to the european Parliament and the Council, which will decide all the response.

To note :

The next time change will take place in the night of Saturday 27 to Sunday 28 October 2018 : at 3 o’clock in the morning, we pushed back the hands of time and it will be 2 hours. This will help to gain an hour of sleep but will be losing one hour of brightness in the end of the day.

Why give up the time change ?

Introduced for economic reasons during the oil crisis of the 1970s, the time change has lost much of its relevance because expert studies have shown that energy savings become marginal. In addition, countries such as Sweden, Lithuania, Finland or Poland, called for the abandonment of this system for several years, and the european citizens were more likely to complain of adverse impacts on health and on the number of road accidents.

Namely :

What is the situation elsewhere in the world?

About 60 countries, mainly located in North America and Oceania, apply seasonal time changes.

An increasing number of neighbouring countries or trading partners of the european Union have chosen not to apply or delete the terms and conditions pertaining to the summer time, such as Iceland, China, Russia, Belarus, and most recently Turkey.

September 28, 2018 – Lethbridge, Alberta – Western Economic Diversification Canada

Our government supports research that will lead to innovative technologies and processes that will improve biodegradable plastics and their production.

Today, the Honorable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for Western Economic Diversification Canada, announced a contribution of $ 1,000,000 for University of Lethbridge. Financial assistance is provided through the Western Diversification Program.

The University of Lethbridge receives funding to establish a green polymer and technology center on the campus site. The center will design innovative biodegradable technologies and plastics that will improve the energy efficiency and profitability of producing plastics-based products.

The center will focus on optimizing the properties and manufacturing conditions of biodegradable plastics. Normally, manufacturers produce plastics from fossil fuels, resulting in build-up in landfills and the ocean. The recycling or burning of these plastics also emits pollutants and greenhouse gases. This investment will help make the production of biodegradable plastics more competitive and efficient, and thus help to reduce the environmental impact of plastics consumption.

Focusing on clean technology, innovation and growth is a key element of the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change. As a result, Canada will focus on creating and sustaining globally competitive Canadian businesses as we transition to a low-carbon economy.

"

The Honorable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for Western Economic Diversification Canada

"Canadians know that we must protect our environment and our precious natural resources. Plastics are an integral part of our lives, and they represent an important source of waste. That's why we support the design of unique technologies that will help reduce their production of plastic waste. "

The Honorable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Edmonton-Mill Woods

"The Green Polymers and Technology Center is an excellent example of how the University of Lethbridge is working with industry to build a more sustainable future for the communities it serves. The research conducted by Paul Hazendonk (PhD) and his team, in collaboration with Bill Spenceley and Flexahopper, will result in economic benefits for manufacturers while having less damaging effects on the environment. "

Erasmus Okine (PhD), Vice President, Research, University of Lethbridge

"Our company is pleased to be a local industry partner in this project, and we look forward to harnessing the talents and capabilities of the University of Lethbridge. Through this collaboration, we expect our teams to make significant advances in the sustainability of our operations. "

Quick facts

Plastic processing is a growing sector of the Canadian manufacturing industry; New markets for biodegradable plastics are expected to reach US $ 3.4 billion by 2020.

By reducing energy costs and creating new markets for biodegradable products, western Canadian plastics companies can increase their profit margins by at least 2.2 percent. And reduce their dependence on fossil fuels.

As chair of the G7 Summit this year, Canada has taken the opportunity to encourage other members to look at marine litter and plastics in the oceans. The Ocean Plastics Charter has been signed by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the European Union, committing them to take the necessary measures to promote management sustainable plastics and resource efficient.
