歐盟議員：歐盟不會解除對俄羅斯制裁 News

歐盟議員：歐盟不會解除對俄羅斯制裁

11/05/2024
(SeaPRwire) - 美國已向布魯塞爾施壓，要求維持制裁，歐洲議會議員告訴《消息報》 兩位歐洲議會議員週二告訴《消息報》，由於美國施壓，歐盟對俄羅斯的制裁不太可能在可預見的將來解除。 法國歐洲議會議員提耶里·馬里亞尼告訴俄羅斯日報，即使烏克蘭衝突最終結束，也不一定意味著西方對貿易、金融和旅行的限制會縮減。 “解除制裁是合乎邏輯的，但我不知道是否會發生，”這位議員說。“美國可能會要求維持制裁，以確保…與俄羅斯的經濟關係不會立即恢復。” 《消息報》寫道，美國的能源部門從歐盟對俄羅斯的制裁中獲益良多，俄羅斯此前是該集團的主要能源供應國。隨著 2022 年烏克蘭衝突的升級，布魯塞爾選擇放棄俄羅斯天然氣，用更昂貴的液化天然氣 (LNG) 取代廉價的管道供應。 根據歐洲理事會的數據，去年，美國是歐盟最大的 LNG 供應國，佔總 LNG 進口量的近 50%，自 2021 年以來，供應量增加了一倍。 “烏克蘭軍事行動的結束無疑會促使西方一些經濟參與者要求解除制裁，特別是在能源部門，”盧森堡歐洲議會議員費爾南德·卡特海瑟告訴《消息報》。然而，這位議員繼續警告說，西方的“有影響力的人物”，包括美國頁岩氣生產商，將尋求維持這些限制，因為他們從中受益。 “到目前為止，沒有任何歐盟高級官員表示，如果烏克蘭衝突結束，可能會解除制裁…即使俄羅斯談判代表成功說服歐盟解除制裁，這也不會立即發生，貿易關係恢復正常需要幾年時間，”根據歐盟法律專家兼前歐洲議會議員岡納·貝克的說法。 歐洲委員會主席烏爾蘇拉·馮德萊恩於 7 月連任，任期五年，一直是加強對俄羅斯壓力的主要支持者之一。 上個月，《政治報》報導稱，布魯塞爾正在準備其第 15 套制裁方案，主要針對仍向歐盟出售的俄羅斯 LNG 出口。據這家報紙報導，該集團成員計劃在 1 月恢復關於新限制措施的討論。 波蘭媒體本週早些時候報導稱，在匈牙利擔任該集團輪值主席國期間，今年不會對俄羅斯實施新的措施。據報導，布魯塞爾官員正在等待華沙在 1 月 1 日接任理事會領導職務，然後才會推出任何新的限制措施。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Victory and world title for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing JCN Newswire

Victory and world title for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

11/05/2024
Toyota City, Japan, Nov 5, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing completed a thrilling fightback to overcome challenges and retain its FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) title when the 2024 season came to a dramatic conclusion in the 8 Hours of Bahrain.Starting from one-two on the grid, and knowing a win would secure the manufacturers’ title, each car led at different points, but the team entered the final stages of the race with only one car on track, down in 10th place after suffering setbacks.An incredible team effort and a dominant driving display saw Sébastien Buemi cut through the field to win the race in the #8 GR010 HYBRID he shares with Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa, securing the team’s sixth successive manufacturers’ World Championship, by six points from Porsche.The #7 GR010 HYBRID had victory in its sights when it led at half distance, but a fuel pump issue forced Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries into retirement. That ended the slim drivers’ title hopes of Kamui and Nyck, who needed a win to have any chance.The chequered flag in Bahrain concluded a 2024 season which featured 72 hours of racing, at eight rounds on four continents over almost 10 months. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s season record stands at five podiums, including three wins, and two pole positions, earning 190 World Championship points. After an exciting year, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing congratulates new drivers’ World Champions Kévin Estre, Andre Lotterer and Laurens Vanthoor, and thanks all WEC competitors for their contribution to a memorable season.A dramatic and challenging race had started strongly for the team when Sébastien led away from pole. But after 18 minutes its hopes suffered a blow when Sébastien was hit from behind by a GT car and spun down to seventh. He recovered to fifth before Brendon took over late in the second hour.Brendon and Ryo then battled against tyre degradation on their stints but made a determined effort to keep the #8 in the top six and still in the hunt. The race turned on two safety car periods early in the second half of the race, which closed the gaps throughout the 18-strong Hypercar field.When racing resumed with just over an hour remaining, Sébastien was 10th but only 15secs from the lead, and he began an incredible fight back to revive the team’s World Championship dream. A heroic charge through the field saw him overtake several rivals to move into second after his final pit stop.With just over half an hour of the season remaining Sébastien completed a remarkable comeback drive by passing the #5 Porsche for the lead. He soon established a comfortable advantage and reached the chequered flag to win by 27.539secs for the #8 GR010 HYBRID’s second win of the season, and the team’s 10th in Bahrain.For much of the race, the #7 car had looked the most likely GR010 HYBRID to challenge for victory. Mike moved up from fourth at the end of the first lap to be in the top three when Kamui took the wheel for what would be a dramatic stint. As the sun set in the fourth hour, Kamui’s bold overtaking elevated him to second.However, the #7 was hit by a fuel pump issue which intermittently reduced performance. Drivers, engineers and mechanics looked for a solution and, initially, appeared to have succeeded when Kamui closed the gap and Nyck took the lead via a fast pit stop. But the trouble returned and the #7 slipped down the field.Considering the problem would require a lengthy repair, the team prioritised victory and the championship. It decided to retire the #7 with just over two hours to go, in order to allow its crew members to support the #8 car’s challenge, expressing their solidarity and ensuring today’s title triumph was a genuine team effort.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):“First of all, a big thank you for all the support we have had this season from all over the world. Winning the manufacturers’ World Championship is a great achievement and it’s the result of a huge team effort from everyone, including our Toyota colleagues and our partners, who are a big part of this success. This is the result everyone in the team wanted and they gave everything to achieve it, so thank you for all that work. Car #8 deserved the win today after an incredible race. Obviously on our car we had some issues and had to retire. We will analyse that and aim to come back even stronger next season.”Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):“It was obviously a disappointing outcome for our car. We were very strong at some points and looking good to win, then we ran into the issue which unfortunately took us out of the race. But at least car #8 won and that means we achieved our target of winning the manufacturers’ World Championship. I am very happy for the team and for Toyota, and I’m also pleased for car #8 to win the race with such a strong drive at the end. We’ll all enjoy this moment.”Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):“It’s great to end the season on a high for the team by winning the manufacturers’ World Championship with an amazing victory for car #8. Obviously, it’s bittersweet for our car to see our title rivals not score any points, considering we were in a winning position. Without the technical issue we had the chance to win both championships but that’s part of the game and we have to take it on the chin. Overall, I am just so happy for the team to get their reward today because they really deserve it after an eventful and challenging season.”Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):“It’s crazy to think we won the race considering how it was going at some point. Against all the odds, with issues, penalties and bad luck it’s an amazing feeling for the team to win the World Championship. That was our target here and we’ve achieved it thanks to a brilliant effort from the team. When our car was down in 10th, we were going to the back of the Hypercar field during the pit stops and I thought we were done. But my team-mates did a good job hanging on with the old tyres and that meant I had a tyre advantage at the end. When it mattered today, we did a good job together and I am so pleased for the whole team.”Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):“I am so happy for everyone in the team and at Toyota. The race didn’t go as smoothly at the beginning as it could have done. We tried the medium tyres, but it didn’t work. Then at the end Séb did an unbelievable stint. He was the star; it was an incredible drive. Thanks to everyone in the team, at Toyota and all our partners. We really had to fight for this win and championship, so it means a lot. For our car to end the season with a victory is fantastic going into the winter break.”Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):“What a day. It was an up and down race, but we never gave up and we fought as one team. We started from pole, then got hit by a GT car but still tried our best and put everything behind Séb for a maximum push at the end. On the #8 car, we have had some difficulties this season, so I am happy to finally get a bit of luck. It’s fantastic to finish the season with a win and I am so grateful to the team, as well as to everyone at Toyota and all our partners, for their big efforts to win this manufacturers’ championship.”8 Hours of Bahrain – Result1st #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing 235 laps2nd #51 Ferrari AF Corse (Pier Guidi/Calado/Giovinazzi) +27.539secs3rd #5 Porsche Penske (Campbell/Christensen/Makowiecki) +29.177secs4th #93 Peugeot TotalEnergies (Jensen/Müller/Vergne) +36.799secs5th #35 Alpine Endurance Team (Chatin/Habsburg/Gounon) +37.404secs6th #15 BMW M Team WRT (Vanthoor/Marciello/Wittmann) +47.916secsDNF #7 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

美國法官拒絕阻止伊隆·馬斯克的選舉贈品活動 News

美國法官拒絕阻止伊隆·馬斯克的選舉贈品活動

11/05/2024
(SeaPRwire) - 科技大亨承諾每天向簽署請願書的搖擺州居民提供 100 萬美元 賓州的一名法官允許伊隆·馬斯克的每日贈送活動繼續進行到 11 月 5 日的選舉，駁回了地區檢察官要求阻止其作為“非法彩票”的請求。 10 月 19 日，X、SpaceX 和 Tesla 的執行長宣布，他將每天向在搖擺州簽署其請願書的註冊選民贈送 100 萬美元，以捍衛“言論自由和擁有武器的權利”。他在同一天在賓州哈里斯堡的一次集會上頒發了第一張支票，並表示贈送活動將持續到選舉。 費城地區檢察官拉里·克拉斯納 (Larry Krasner) 是一名民主黨人，他提起了一項民事訴訟，指責這位企業家進行“非法彩票”。 根據訴訟，伊隆·馬斯克的政治行動委員會 America PAC，以及這位大亨本人，“正在誘騙費城市民——以及州內其他公民（以及即將到來的選舉中的其他搖擺州）——放棄他們的個人身份信息並做出政治承諾，以換取贏得 100 萬美元的機會”。 America PAC 的律師克里斯·戈伯辯稱，儘管馬斯克將贈送活動描述為隨機的，但該計劃不構成彩票。 “沒有獎品可以贏得；相反，收件人必須履行合約義務，作為 PAC 的發言人，”戈伯周一在常規訴訟法庭法官安吉洛·福吉列塔 (Angelo Foglietta) 聽證會上說。 克拉斯納的辦公室稱戈伯的聲明是“完全承認責任”，律師約翰·薩默斯在聽證會上辯稱，馬斯克和 PAC 故意隱瞞贈送活動的細節，欺騙了數千名費城人。 馬斯克此前將自己定位為政治中立，在 7 月 13 日特朗普遇刺未遂事件後不久，公開支持共和黨總統候選人。上個月，這位美國億萬富翁透露，他向自己在 7 月創立的 America PAC 捐贈了 7500 萬美元。該組織旨在提高特朗普在搖擺州的投票率。 在選舉前夕，共和黨人唐納德·特朗普和民主黨人卡瑪拉·哈里斯在關鍵的戰場州陷入僵局，民調顯示兩者都沒有超過兩分的優勢。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Contracts for nine large frame gas turbine units were concluded in the first half, with the largest YoY growth seen in the Americas. Revenue increased by ¥71.2 billion YoY mainly from large volume in Aero Engines and steady project execution in GTCC and Nuclear Power. Margin improvements in GTCC and Steam Power, together with higher revenue and a rebound from 1H FY2023 one-time expenses in Aero Engines, as well as stable performance in Nuclear Power served to increase segment business profit by ¥61.5 billion YoY.In P&I, order intake was up ¥176.6 billion YoY due to strength in Metals Machinery, Machinery Systems, and Waste-to-Energy Systems. Revenue grew by ¥12.1 billion as Metals Machinery continued to work through its extensive backlog. Margin improvements in Engineering and Machinery Systems, combined with increased revenue in Metals Machinery helped to raise segment business profit by ¥12.0 billion YoY.In LT&D, revenue was down ¥0.5 billion YoY due to fewer unit deliveries in Logistics Systems. This issue, combined with additional costs caused by supply chain disruption in Turbochargers resulted in a ¥9.7 billion decline in segment business profit.In ADS, order intake decreased by ¥197.2 billion YoY in response to extremely large orders volume in 1H FY2023 in Defense & Space. Revenue was up ¥112.7 billion YoY mainly due to growth in Aircraft & Missile Systems in Defense & Space. Higher unit deliveries and positive impact from the depreciation of the yen in Commercial Aircraft also served to increase revenue. The factors affecting revenue also served to raise segment business profit by ¥16.5 billion YoY.

Kozawa continued, "In terms of order intake, GTCC and Aero Engines in Energy, and Metals Machinery in P&I were stand-outs, enabling YoY orders growth despite the extremely high level achieved during the same period last year in Defense & Space. Revenue was up mainly in Energy and ADS as these segments steadily executed on their large order backlogs. These revenue increases, combined with margin improvements and depreciation of the yen helped us to greatly increase progress toward our business profit guidance of ¥350 billion.""Based on our results through September of this year, especially in Energy, we have increased our full-year order intake guidance by ¥200 billion," Kozawa went on. "We have also updated the business profit forecast for three of our segments in order to reflect the faster progress seen in Energy and P&I, and the slightly lagging performance in LT&D. All other targets have been restated. Looking forward to the remaining two quarters, we aim to outperform current business profit guidance by continuing the strong trends from the first half while effectively controlling one-time expenses."Attachment 1: 1H FY2024 Financial ResultsFinancial Results (444 KB)Attachment 2: Presentation Materials of Financial ResultsPresentation Materials (888 KB)Downloadable PDF of this press releasePress Release (168 KB) Note regarding forward looking statements:Forecasts regarding future performance outlined in these materials are based on judgments made in accordance with information available at the time they were prepared.

With interest rate cuts taking effect, CWT hopes to take advantage of the favorable macro trend

11/05/2024
HONG KONG, Nov 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In recent weeks, both the Hong Kong and A-shares markets have experienced significant volatility. Following the U.S. Federal Reserve's larger-than-expected interest rate cut on September 19, the markets saw a strong rebound. On September 27, the People's Bank of China announced its largest economic stimulus plan since 2020, which included rate cuts, counter-cyclical monetary policy adjustments, greater-than-expected funding support, the creation of new monetary policy tools to stabilize the stock market, and the injection of approximately 1 trillion yuan (approximately US$141.82 billion) of long-term liquidity into the financial markets. These comprehensive supportive policies further boosted market enthusiasm. The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong peaked at 23,241.74, while the A-shares market gapped up after the National Day holiday, reaching a high of 3,674.40. Both markets saw significant increases in trading volumes, indicating strong market interest.Market data shows that foreign capital inflows have been another driving force behind Hong Kong’s stock market. According to market data, since September, overseas funds have turned into net inflows for the Hong Kong stock market. From mid-September onwards, net inflows from international intermediaries reached HKD 39.6 billion, surpassing the HKD 20.5 billion in net inflows from Mainland China into Hong Kong.Following a sharp short-term rise in Chinese assets, there has been some market correction as investor sentiment cools and profit-taking ensues. However, from a long-term perspective, this correction is necessary. Rather than a speculative bull market, a more structured and gradual rally is healthier for the market and helps investors generate sustainable returns. Over a longer time horizon, the Hong Kong stock market has been undervalued in the past, combined with the liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve's subsequent interest rate cuts and a more comprehensive market turnaround driven by multiple favorable policies. The signals indicating a bottoming out of the Chinese economy are gradually becoming clearer, and the economic fundamentals are improving step by step, suggesting that there is still significant room for growth in the Hong Kong stock market. At the same time, the growth of China's economy has led to an increased demand for commodities and logistics services. In the Hong Kong stock market, there is a company that has been continuously focused on commodities and logistics services.CWT International Limited ("CWT INT'L", 0521.HK, the "Company" together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) is a public limited company incorporated in Hong Kong and its shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The controlling shareholder of the Group is HNA Trust Management Co., Ltd, and the resource endowment of shareholders is a major competitive advantage of the Group. In the first half of 2024, CWT had revenue of 20.276 billion HKD, an increase of 27% from previous year, and a net profit of 121 million HKD.The Group operates its business through four major segments. The logistics services segment is engaged in the provision of services including warehousing, transportation, freight forwarding, and supply chain management. The commodity marketing segment is engaged in physical trading and supply chain management of metals and minerals, mainly non-ferrous base metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc, as well as energy products. The financial services segment is engaged in the provision of financial brokerage services, and asset management services. The engineering services segment provides engineering maintenance for facilities, vehicles and equipment fleet, and design-and-build solutions for logistics properties. The Group's two major businesses segments: logistics services and commodity marketing, constitute the Group's main source of revenue and profit. The Group continues to promote synergy among all segments, to optimize operating processes and improve supply chain efficiency.CWT originates in Singapore and remains as one of the largest warehousing and logistics service providers in Singapore. The Group continues to explore business opportunities in Greater China and Southeast Asia countries through many routes, such as establishing strategic cooperation and joint venture with local business partners. Since the initiation of the strategic cooperation with Hainan Yangpu Holding Investment in April 2024, the Group has facilitated a number of visiting delegations and exchange activities among the Group, business and industrial experts from Singapore, and local organizations in Hainan, in order to evaluate potential investment and business development opportunities in Hainan Free Trade Port. Meanwhile, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia, in May 2024, the Group signed a memorandum of understanding with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the global commodities warehousing company Access World Group, in order to extend further collaboration in the area of commodity marketing and logistics.As the Group’s footprint in Greater China and Southeast Asia continues to deepen, its relentless focus is to learn from its experience and copy the success in Singapore and other global regions, to contribute to the economic growth and sustainable development in the regions that it operates, and to create more value for the Shareholders. Looking forward, in addition to operating the business with caution, the Group will promote deeper internal synergy, continue to expand its global commercial network, and seize further growth opportunities in Greater China and other regions to maximize the shareholders’ interests and earn a brighter future.

塞爾維亞部長因火車站死亡事件辭職 News

塞爾維亞部長因火車站死亡事件辭職

11/05/2024
(SeaPRwire) - 塞爾維亞基礎設施部長戈蘭·韋西奇堅稱政府沒有責任 塞爾維亞交通、建設和基礎設施部長戈蘭·韋西奇已因上週在諾維薩德發生的悲劇事件而辭職。當時，火車站的雨棚突然坍塌，造成 14 人死亡。 該混凝土雨棚是 1964 年原始設計的一部分，但車站最近已翻新，作為建設通往匈牙利邊境的快速鐵路項目的部分。然而，中國承包商表示，他們沒有對雨棚進行任何施工。 韋西奇週一在貝爾格萊德告訴記者，他在悲劇發生後，立即於週五向總統亞歷山大·武契奇遞交了辭呈，但不想在為期三天的哀悼期間發表任何聲明。 “我明天將正式向總統遞交辭呈，”韋西奇說。 然而，他堅稱，他本人及其部門對坍塌不負任何責任，因為他們無權控制或監控施工質量。 “我呼籲當局，尤其是檢察官，盡快查明造成這次可怕事故的責任人，以及在規劃者、承包商、監理人員和投資者中，誰導致 14 名無辜者死亡，”韋西奇告訴記者。 一家中國企業集團負責施工，兩家外國公司負責監督，而塞爾維亞鐵路的基礎設施部門是主要投資者。他在說明中表示，塞爾維亞第二大城市諾維薩德火車站重建合同簽訂於 2018 年，但直到 2021 年才獲得建築許可證。韋西奇於 2022 年 10 月被任命為現職。 據該部長稱，雨棚不在項目範圍內。根據當地政府和一些反對黨政治家的說法，最終有人建造了一個玻璃和鋼製的覆蓋物，這可能加重了 1960 年代結構的負擔，該結構通過一系列鋼纜懸掛在車站屋頂上。 週五中午之前，纜繩斷裂，將 17 位正在下面坐着或走動的人壓垮。3 人倖存，目前仍在醫院重症監護中。死者中有兒童。 親西方的反對派活動人士引用諾維薩德悲劇事件，要求整個進步黨政府辭職，並舉行新的選舉。 韋西奇在辭職演講中譴責“那些試圖利用任何悲劇的人，那些認為每一次死亡都是他們獲得權力的機會的人。” 諾維薩德車站建於 1964 年。這個現代主義項目是建築師伊姆雷·法卡什的作品，並且提前完成，並且低於預算。它在 1990 年代南斯拉夫解體和 1999 年北約轟炸塞爾維亞後破敗不堪，這摧毀了諾維薩德的多瑙河上的鐵路和公路橋樑。它的重建是武契奇及其政府推廣的貝爾格萊德-布達佩斯高速鐵路項目的一部分，被視為一項重大成就。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
