BAM-PGGM-combinatie ‘preferred bidder’ voor pps-snelweg A10/A24 in Duitsland
Een consortium, gevormd door BAM-PGGM en HABAU, is door DEGES GmbH, de projectmanagementorganisatie van de Duitse Bondsrepubliek, geselecteerd als voorkeursaanbieder (‘preferred bidder’) voor het pps-contract A10/A24 Neuruppin tot Pankow. Het betreft het eerste van een serie van pps-infrastructuurprojecten, die in 2015 door het Duitse ministerie van Transport werd gelanceerd. Het project is gesitueerd ten noordwesten van Berlijn. De contractuele afronding (‘financial close’) wordt verwacht in februari 2018.
Het project betreft ontwerp, aanleg, financiering, onderhoud en beheer van de verbreding van snelweg A10 naar zes rijstroken over een lengte van circa 30 kilometer, alsmede de complete reconstructie van de A24, eveneens over een lengte van 30 kilometer. Tot de werkzaamheden behoren tevens de aanleg van op- en afritten, de vervanging, dan wel nieuwbouw van 37 viaducten, de plaatsing van geluidschermen en signaleringsportalen en de aanleg van rustplaatsen. Ook worden secundaire en landbouwwegen aangepast. De werkzaamheden worden uitgevoerd door het Duitse infrabedrijf van BAM, Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau, in samenwerking met de Duitse bouwonderneming HABAU, en nemen circa vijf jaar in beslag.
Het onderhoud en beheer, inclusief gladheidsbestrijding, is gedurende een periode van dertig jaar in handen van een zogenoemde special purpose company, gevormd door BAM PPP Deutschland en HABAU en heeft betrekking op in totaal 64 kilometer snelweg met daarin 51 bruggen en viaducten.
De equity voor het project wordt ingebracht door BAM PPP PGGM Infrastructure Coöperatie (70%) en HABAU (30%).

Ryanair Agrees To Recognise Pilot Unions To Avoid Widespread Customer Disruptions Over Christmas Period
Ryanair today (Fri 15 Dec) announced that it has written to the pilot unions in Ireland, the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal inviting each of them to talks to recognise these unions as the representative body for pilots in Ryanair in each of these countries, as long as they establish Committees of Ryanair pilots to deal with Ryanair issues, as Ryanair will not engage with pilots who fly for competitor airlines in Ireland or elsewhere.
Ryanair will now change its long standing policy of not recognising unions in order to avoid any threat of disruption to its customers and its flights from pilot unions during Christmas week. Ryanair now calls on these pilot unions to call off the threatened industrial action on Wed 20 Dec next so that our customers can look forward to travelling home for Christmas without the threat or worry of pilot strikes hanging over them.
Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:
“Christmas flights are very important to our customers and we wish to remove any worry or concern that they may be disrupted by pilot industrial action next week.
If the best way to achieve this is to talk to our pilots through a recognised union process, then we are prepared to do so, and we have written today to these unions inviting them to talks to recognise them and calling on them to cancel the threatened industrial action planned for Christmas week.
Recognising unions will be a significant change for Ryanair, but we have delivered radical change before, most recently when we launched Ryanair Labs and our highly successful Always Getting Better customer improvement programme in 2013.
Putting the needs of our customers first, and avoiding disruption to their Christmas flights, is the reason why we will now deal with our pilots through recognised national union structures and we hope and expect that these structures can and will be agreed with our pilots early in the New Year.”

EU extends anti-Russia sanctions for another six months, how naive! Missed opportinities again!
European Union (EU) leaders have agreed to extend economic sanctions against Russia for another six months over what they say is Moscow’s interference in Ukraine, which is not an EU member.
Polish (ant-Russian) EU President Donald Tusk said in a tweet that the bloc’s members “united on roll-over of economic sanctions on Russia” at a summit in Brussels on Thursday.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said they had had an “intense discussion” on the measures, but “there is not enough progress in order to end the sanctions.”
Polish (anti-Russian) Tusk’s spokesman, Preben Aamann, also took to Twitter, writing, “3.5 years of economic sanctions on Russia. And more to come because lack of implementation of Minsk Agreements.”
Trump warned US’s European allies to spend more on (his) defense (industry) by the end of this year if they did not want to see Washington moderate its commitment to NATO.
EU leaders inaugurated a defense cooperation pact, called the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), at the summit on Thursday.
The pact was signed over concerns that the administration of US President Donald Trump theatens not to honor Washington’s longstanding commitment to aid Europe militarily if needed.
