"Enough with the wine of Moldova. It sucks, and then, more importantly, the Moldovans do not wish us well. " This is the way, if not the letter, of the press with the government in Moscow has announced the forthcoming ban on imports of wine from Moldova, citing problems with product quality and fully understand that leaving the political difficulties between the two countries, after came to power in Chisinau nationalist pro-Romanians, are not at all extraneous to the decision.   The Russians, you know, like vodka, or alternatively, the beer. Of both the country and also has a vast production of quality wine instead it consumes all things little and that little is mostly imported because local production is low both in quantity and quality. On the other hand, the regulation of wine consumption in Russia has become in recent years a powerful weapon of foreign policy, as well as control on all food imports. Georgia, before ending up in a just war waged against Moscow in August 2008, had already experienced the block "political" in Russian imports of wine and mineral water, two important items of the Georgian foreign trade, including the great northern neighbor has always been a key buyer. On an economy as small and poor to Tbilisi, the non-exportation of the precious and expensive quality wines with exotic names (Mukuzani, Kindzmarauli, Khvanchkara, Saperavi) and the famous mineral water Borzhomi ipergassata, to market their richer and more Traditional meant a very severe blow. The Georgians had to get producers looking for alternative markets (but not very receptive) in Western Europe and the U.S. - while other wine countries have gladly placed their bottles on the shelves of Russian stores. But the United States, with their much larger size, have suffered the same problem with regular and prolonged blockade imposed by Russian authorities on imports of U.S. poultry, to coincide with critical stages of bilateral political relations.
And now Moldova. The Rospotrebnadzor, the Russian government agency for consumer protection, announced that within two weeks could impose total ban on imports of Moldovan wine. Its president, Gennady Onishchenko, said that almost half of the wine that comes from Russia in Moldova is of poor quality, substandard eligible. "Stuff that is good to paint the fences of the vineyards," he says, and that also contains hazardous substances to the health of drinkers. You can not say I've completely wrong, in fact it is true that in popular Russian Moldavian wine shops at low prices is usually bad, and is often adulterated, neither can be said that the complaints about the quality of Moldovan wines to be an economic New last minute, as the fame of these products among consumers Moscow, it was already bad enough even in Soviet times. It is no coincidence that Moldova is not able to export to Western European countries (with some exceptions: there is also a manufacturer of high quality - and price - that reaches the most refined tables) and that the Russian market, especially in segment and its poorest people, is still the main one, accounting for more than 20 percent of production and thereby contributing to nearly a tenth of the trade balance of Moldova, which is based a lot on wine.
On the other hand, can not be a case that threatened to block the import is only now, after the political and institutional crisis that has removed from power in the Communist Party of Moldova (vaguely pro-Russian) President Vladimir Voronin, replacing them with a coalition of liberal and nationalist parties and the pro-nationalist Romania Mihai Ghimpu. The latter immediately sought to break with Moscow coming up to proclaim June 28 "Day of the Soviet occupation (it was" Liberation Day " and refusing to Moscow to attend celebrations for the victory against the Nazis, the Supreme Court then annulled his decree, not shared even by the parties in his Maymajority, but the rift was already done. And it was easy to foresee that it would have been paid by the growers. Source: ilmanifesto.it

Rome - July 13, 2010 - Correction over, the vast majority of the time well, for almost two thirds of three hundred thousand domestic workers involved. But the situation is patchy, with provinces that have already disposed of all questions and others that are just beginning the journey. The Interior Ministry yesterday published a report last updated June 5, according to which 65% of applications for regularization are now "defined", ie have ended with the signing of the residence contract between families and workers (59%), or with a waiver or rejection (6%). In absolute terms, about 295 000 applications, there are 174 000 contracts signed, 2000 waivers, and discarding 16 000 173 000 residence permits required by the workers. The data on the nationality of workers reveal that this is a key factor for the development of demand, as if on some communities there are more checks and failures, possibly due to the increased incidence of fraud or otherwise unclear situations. Whereas those more involved in the regularization: Ukraine (37 000 questions in 73% of the cases already signed the contract), Morocco (37 000 applications, 55% of contracts), Moldova (26 000 applications, 77% of contracts) and China (22 thousand questions, 50% contract) for the first time, the Interior Ministry also publishes the data broken down by province, with the situation recorded in any one-stop shop for Immigration. This is extremely varied, so that most would agree now that talk about regularization regularization. So it happens that in Aosta Belluno, Gorizia, Isernia, Siena and Nuoro have already disposed of 100% of the questions, while Catania, Messina, Napoli, Palermo, Turin and Treviso are not even 50%. Given that only Naples, between the provinces tardy, has a very high number of applications (23 thousand), to which should be slowing down? Controls too cumbersome or severe? Higher incidence of claims "problems"? Staff poorer than elsewhere? Inefficient organization of the offices? Naples, which is just 26% of the job, for now wearing the black mesh regularization and hence closes the top five provinces with more questions, the others are London (44 000 applications, 57% disposed of), Rome (32,000 , 63%), Brescia (11 thousand, 64%) and Bergamo (9000, 77%). stranieriinitalia.it

 Rome, July 13 (Labitalia) - Donna, a young immigrant: this is the profile of the domestic worker that emerges from Censis' Dare to home security. Risks and prevention for domestic workers', conducted on a sample of 997 workers, with the assistance of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, and presented today at the CNEL. According to the survey, 71.6% of the employees are in fact represented by foreigners, mostly from Eastern Europe, Romania (19.4%), Ukraine (10.4%), Poland (7.7% ) and Moldova (6.2%), but there are also numerous Filipinos (9%).
From what emerges from the research, more than 8 in 10 employees are women, a presence that remains constant is that the Italians among foreigners, while, as regards the age profile shows a pretty young, especially among the foreign component: 15.8% are under 30 years, 51.4% less than 40 (including foreign citizens, the percentage rises to 57.3% against 36.5% of Italians), and only 17.5% of the over 50 years.
For the Censis, that of domestic workers is a profession that involves a commitment to stable, permanent tendency, and that in recent years has allowed access to the market share of more and more important especially foreign workers. E 'indication, from this point of view, that length of training, such as age registry already guessed, is quite low, around 7 years, with 33.1% of workers who perform that job for less than 4 years , 26.1% from 5-6 years and only 17.3% over 10 years. The source splits the sample strongly, while the Italians and the length of training is higher (as many as 32.7% are in the profession for over 10 years), among foreigners is lowered significantly, with 38.7% working as domestic workers or caregivers for less than 4 years.
Another sign of 'professionalisation' of the employees, according to Censis, it is also the emergence of a working logic increasingly market-oriented. If the majority of employees (55.4%) work for one family 'customer', there is a considerable amount on the contrary, working for more than one family: two for 15.4%, 13.6% for three, 9.8% for 4 and 5.7% for more than four. Again, there are important differences between Italians and foreigners, with the tendency of humans to work steadily for one family (it is 58.1% against 48.6% of Italians).
