Germany has discovered that a teacher saved a million euros. And what did he do as he was on 16 years

by

The OECD He placed Germany in front of a mirror: that of the country developed where less hours work a year. Behind the figures (just 1,331 hours per year) There was a culture broth marked by economic deterioration and a nation that moves between two poles: lengthening the days or valuing life more outside of work. And in between, scandals that have reinforced the perception that labor laxity is unsustainable. The case of a low teacher since 2009 has lit the debate. An unusual case. In Wesel, North-Westphalia Rhine Since 2009sixteen years without reincorporating his post, but fully charging his salary, which over 16 years added around one million euros (between 5,000 and 6,000 euros per month). During all that time he presented monthly medical certificates, although he was never required an official recognition to accredit his status. The anomaly came to light when, after years of bureaucratic inertia, a new official detected irregularity In 2024 and ordered the medical review. When he was finally asked to undergo a medical examination, the teacher responded demanding her employer, claiming violation of rights, as she had done before in front of an attempt to transfer in 2017, but this time she lost the litigation. The Ministry of Education of Renania del Norte-Westfalia has described The issue of “serious failure within the Bezirksregierung of Düsseldorf” and has promised a “concessions” review of all internal procedures. Implications The teacher’s official granted her Extraordinary protectionincluding the right to leave indefinite with full salary, provided that it was properly accredited. However, local reports suggest that during their prolonged absence he reached Found a company Medical and exercising as a naturopath, activities that, if confirmed, would violate the obligations of prior notification and prohibition of parallel works during a decline. Not just that. He came to participate in entrepreneurship competitions, getting to obtain A 5,000 euros award for a cream of your invention. According to the labor lawyer Ralf DelgmannNot only infringed the regulations that require prior authorization for any secondary work, but would have done it while perceiving a medical leave, which feeds the suspicion that he was never really incapacitated. This could cost his pension, salary and even the condition of official. Even so, jurists warn That retrospectively demonstrating the absence of disease is practically impossible, so the recovery of wages already perceived is unlikely. A symptom of a major problem. The scandal, airy by the German presshas raised a debate about the rigidity and at the same time the vulnerability of the official statute. While private employees go on to collect reduced benefits After six weeks, officials keep the salary even for years, provided there is effective control. The case demonstrates how a Supervision vacuum prolonged allowed an anomaly to be consolidated for almost two decades. Although the Ministry insists that it is not a systemic problem, but about punctual negligence, public opinion perceive that confidence in the public function is committed by episodes of abuse like this. A long process. The media in Germany tell that the newly opened disciplinary procedure can Extend three or four yearstime during which both the actions of the teacher and the omissions of her administrative superiors will be investigated. Beyond its individual outcome, the case has become a symbol of control deficiencies in German administration, evidencing how a single poorly managed file can erode the credibility of an entire system. Plus: Beyond the judicial outcome, what remains in evidence is the urgency of rethink a casualty model That, in his eagerness to shield officials, he opens the door to abuses that end up being paid by society as a whole.

Europe has hope placed in the electric car of 25,000 euros and Volkswagen already knows who will manufacture it: Spain

by

Volkswagen ID. Polo, Raval Cupra, Skoda Epiq and Volkswagen ID. Cross. Those are all the cars that Volkwagen has commissioned Spain. The company has commissioned the bulk of its urban vehicles to our country. It will do it with four cars that will be key, for better or worse, in the medium -term company strategy. Confirmation. It will be in Martorell, Barcelona (Volkswagen ID.P Polo and Cupra Raval), and in Landaben, Navarra (Skoda Epiq and Volkswagen ID.cross) where the Volkswagen group will manufacture its smallest electric. The company has confirmed it at the IAA Mobilitythe Münich hall focused on electric vehicles. It will be its four electric cars that will fly over 25,000 euros. That is to say, The “affordable” offer The group will be manufactured in Spain, a strategy that we already sensed partially but that was about to be confirmed. 25,000 euros electric car hub. The arrival of these four models to our country is, on paper, great news for the company’s workers. Martorell has long been positioned as the central nucleus of the strategy, with A battery plant “by your side”its projection as Component supplier And, now, with the two cars awarded. Landaben takes another very important pinch. The Volkswagen ID. Cross, which is just a concept, will be one of the company’s great assets in the segment. The Volkswagen T-Cross promises to be one of the most important electric/medium term electric. The EPIQ will be the “affordable” option. In addition, in both cases the SUV body fits perfectly into the electric car since it is the body preferred by the public and facilitates to fit greater battery capacity in the car without sacrificing the space. Investment. In your event, Volkswagen has pointed out that a total of 10,000 million euros will be invested. 70% will be in charge of the company that are divided into the electrification of the Barcelona plant (3,000 million euros), Navarra (1,000 million euros) and the 3,000 million euros of the Sagunto plant. The remaining 3,000 million euros correspond, according to the company, with the investments of the auxiliary companies to mount these cars. Key models. Spain has become a key region for the future of the company. Right now, it has four of the models that aspire to generate a qualitative leap in sales within the German group and the plant that will produce the batteries for all of them. The sale of these cars is especially relevant because in 2027 manufacturers have to Place below 93.6 gr/km of CO2 in the average emissions of the cars that have sold. The figure is already hard and needs the sale of large volumes of electricity but it will be Much more in 2030 When that maximum figure is reduced in half. If the political plans are maintained, the cars that occur in Spain should despite substantially in the company’s results accounts Volkswagen is interested in prioritizing the sale of these cars that, by price, should be easier to sell. The risk. The other face of the currency is evident: that cars are not sold. Although manufacturers are obliged to press in this market (due They present obvious inconveniences when they are taken out of the city. Right now, that electric, cheap and “for everything” car or that allows “anywhere” even with space limitations does not exist. That role played by the Seat Ibizato give an example, it is in danger of extinction if the manufacturer does not opt ​​for a substantial electrification of mechanics. Spain, leader. Spain has managed to find its hole in the electric car market. Although has been threatened by brands (and in fact it is made) it will be taken to take some of the cheapest electric to countries with less expensive labor, such as Morocco, Spain has managed to offer itself as an attractive country to produce cars with the lowest profit margin. Volkswagen’s bet is not alone. Stellantis will also produce its smallest models in Spain. Vigo and Zaragoza will be key in the production of smaller cars, the mounts About the Stla Small platform. It is a battle that has earned France or Germany whose operational costs are higher and need to produce higher costs (and less volume) to justify its production.

More than 200,000 books for 11 euros a year. It is ‘The Free Books Club’ of Valencia, a paradise for printed paper devotees

by

In a city like Valencia, not precisely lacking second -hand librariesa project has been born that goes beyond the mere business with volumes that have already lived one or more readings. It’s about ‘The Free Books Club ‘, a mixture of bookstore, paper trace, social club and NGOs Bibliophile that, in exchange for a minimum fee, allows its partners to take all the books they want. Its responsible is Rafael Soriano, who transmits an enthusiasm for reading perfectly In line with the philosophy of the premises: “All books are jewelry, some need a little mime and that is the goal of the club: save the books, pass them from good hands to others and in that way, among all, to have an immense library of people who want to continue keeping the books.” All books They deserve be read (As Rafael says, “a book can be a brick, but if you find a page, a paragraph, a text that tells you something, is already a good book”) and therefore preserved. That is why the Free Books Club ‘has an affordable partner share, 11 euros a year, which allows you to take all the books that are desired (To donate it is not even necessary to be a partner), return them or keep them if desired. The intention of the club is that no book is discarded, and of course, that leads to problems. The main one is that Rafael stopped counting the specimens in the premises when he reached 200,000, and the lack of space has forced him to stop classifying, archiving, listing and even restore those volumes they need. In the original place there are no more volumes, which has led them to resort to “partners who have some space at home, a garage, a small warehouse. When someone requests a large rescue, let’s say ten, twelve, fourteen boxes of books, in the premises of Valencia they do not fit.” The project has thus became a completely collaborative idea: the website centralizes the calls for help in search of space, and They estimate that right now they will be around 300,000 “saved” booksas Rafael likes to say. There are future and expansion plans although at the moment the relief comes from projects as another open club in Padrón (A Coruña) with similar operation. An agreement with emails has also been reached so that the partners can exchange books directly without going through the Valencia premises, again with the website as a meeting point. Although Rafael’s ambition goes further, and would like to see premises like his in other provinces, and “that the partners can take a book in Valencia, leave it in Cáceres, take one in Cáceres and leave it in Barcelona.” Computer to Guardian de Books Rafael Soriano started his career as a computer programmer: “I started computer studies before there were computer faculties. In the year 85 I started from 88 I dedicated myself to programming for different clients. In the end the fort of my programming was the management of bars and restaurants. “Later he made the leap to the other side of the screen:” For having met the sector, I was as manager of a bar-restaurant for a year, with thirty-so many employees on the beach. “ After dedicating almost ten years he transferred him and stayed “a little in limbo: I am not yet retired, but I don’t want to be at home, even if I have some resources to endure.” And in this way the club was born: “A little like Hobby, a little as a refuge.” And near the sea, “because I like to swim, see dawn swimming.” A completely born project of devotion to the printed page and has set in something more than a bookstore: A home for old books that serves as a transit in search of new houses. Or as Rafael says, “it is an alchemy workshop, that is, everything that is there is paper, it is an piled paper, but in the right hands it becomes gold.” In Xataka | Before he died, this man left a list of everything he had read in his life: 3,599 books of all kinds that you can now consult

In Asturias someone paid 37,000 euros for the most expensive cheese on the planet. Then he fell to the ground

by

There are expensive cheeses, very expensive cheeses and then there are the cheeses that are sold by the whopping 14,800 euros per kiloas they just checked in Asturias. There, in the town of Arenas, they just proclaimed the most expensive cheese on the planet, a piece of 2.5 kilos with Denomination of Protected Origin of Cabrales that, after the Plant of the judges, has reached neither more nor less than 37,000 euros On a bid. Shortly after the auction was on the ground. Don’t say cheese, di cabrales. Asturias is known for many things. By Your cider, Your houndsits beaches, its mountainous places and also (and rightly) for its cheese. The Cabrales is one of the gastronomic icons of the Principality and to claim it Arenas de Cabrales has celebrated every summer, for decades, A contest which usually arouses interest both inside and outside the region. The appointment is not famous just by giving visibility to Dop Cabrales. The contest arrives accompanied by a bid for the best cheeses in which amounts of infarction are reached, assumable only by privileged pockets. Offer are so high in fact that they have managed to make a place several times in the pages of the Guinness book. It has happened Other editions. And it has happened again in this. A figure: 37,000 euros. The Arenas de Cabrales appointment is divided into several parts. First the jury decides which of the title aspiring cheeses is the best, it has a more attractive aspect and offers better flavor and aroma. Then that same piece goes to auction and businesses interested in taking her to her pantries pujo for her at the crossroads worthy of the Sotheby’s house. In this edition (the 53rd already) the starting price was € 3,000 and participated near a dozen hoteliers from different parts of Asturias (Gijón, Oviedo and Castrillón) and Madrid. The winner was Iván Suárez, owner of El Llagar de Colloto, in Oviedo. It didn’t have it easy. Last year Suarez had already taken home winning cheese by 36,000 eurosa figure that this year exceeded slaughtering. A Madrid cider house matched the figure, another Gijonesa rose the bid to 36,500 and the owner of El Llagar de Colloto ended up setting up the dispute when lifting his palette to offer the whopping of 37,000 for a piece of about 2.5 kg. Himself I calculated which came out at € 14,800/kg. Records at full speed. The truth is that Cabrales accumulates records at more speed than the Guinness organization is capable of digesting them. New Spain remember that this will be the fourth consecutive world plusmarca of Asturian cheese and if you consult The web From the Guinness World Records you will find the curious chance that just two months ago those responsible echoed that the most expensive cheese on the planet is a cabrales auctioned in Asturias for 36,000 euros. It is not a mistake. It is simply the brand that the DOP reached in 2024. It has already been outdated. Does Cabrales cheese have a roof? That is The question That some media have been made in recent days, especially if you take into account the speed with which the offers have grown by the winner of the Arenas contest. The Europa Press agency remember That the winner of this edition already disbursed 14,300 euros in 2018, 20,500 in 2019, 30,000 in 2023 and 36,000 last year, a figure that has been pulverized by the 37,000 of 2025. In the price, however it goes more than the value of the product. The bid is also a huge advertising showcase, both for the Dop Cabrales and for the winning hotelier. Of headlines and anecdotes. “The head of having the most expensive cheese in the world is what leads to this. In the end if the cheese had cost 20,000 euros instead of 37,000 because yes, it would have been the winning cheese of the contest, but we would not have worldwide news, we would not open the news, nor would we have international recognition, which is what we all look for, Suárez confesses to The voice of Asturias. Interestingly this year he has monopolized holders by Another reasonmore anecdotal … and juicy. After winning the bid the Ovetense hotelier rose to collect the piece proud and when he lifted his arms to show the tray the cheese drained and finished falling to the ground. An anecdote that the businessman was taken with humor. The cheese, he explained, will divide it into three parts: For his father, for him and his family and for his clients. In cave already 1,500 meters. Record prices and anecdotes apart, the main protagonist of the contest was the cheese that elaborated the winning piece: Ángel Díaz Herrero, by Tielve. Its representative, Encarna Bada, remembers that the cheese is made with cow’s milk and mature for several months at 1,500 meters of altitude in the Los Mazos cave. “It is the coldest cave, it has little cheese and matures more slowly. It is the caves that give the flavor to the cabrales, because factors such as moisture, temperature and height influence it,” Explain. The task is not simple. Bada acknowledges that going up and down with cheese pieces is arduous work because to the area “They don’t even get cars” To transport them in fact they have to resort to horses. What there is no doubt is that your technique and know how to do work: last year The same cheese managed to win the coveted first position of the contest and, incidentally, settle his name in the Guinness.

Citizens were not supposed to pay the closure of the nuclear, but there is already a hole of 11,600 euros on the bill

by

Closing nuclear is not just a political decision, but also an economic problem. The dismantling bill and radioactive waste already exceeds 20.3 billion euros, and the debate between electric and government has only started. An invoice that does not stop growing. According to Enresa’s memorythe public company in charge of dismantling, the total expected cost already reaches 20,367 million euros. The majority corresponds to the dismantling of the reactors, with 17,520.5 million, while waste management and spent fuel, the so -called “electric rate”, adds 2,846.8 million. The rest of the activities, such as the management of the enusa fuel factory in Salamanca, complete the invoice. The fund that finances these operations, nourished with contributions from the electricity, accumulated 8,677 million at the end of 2024, after the 30% rise in the valuation rate since July of last year. This means that it only covers 43% of the planned cost, leaving in the air a gap of 11,690 million euros still to finance. The plan that changed everything. The 7th General Radioactive Waste Plan (PGRR), Approved at the end of 2023was a change of stage by definitely abandoning the centralized temporary warehouse project (ATC) in Villar de Cañas. Instead, waste has been chosen in independent temporary stores (ATI) located in each central, waiting for deep geological storage (AGP) that should be ready in 2072. The PGRR extends the forecasts up to 2100 and delays the total closure of the nuclear park until 2035with Trillo and Vandellós II as the latest plants in going out. To this is added the legal obligation to annually review the forecasts, which adjusts the costs to inflation and the new technical conditions. Electric against rates. The companies, headed by Iberdrola and Endesa, say that operating under this cost scheme is unfeasible. Both have presented resources in the courts against the increase of 30% of the Enresa rate and have claimed millionaire compensation. Besides, They have requested that the closing calendar be reopenedarguing that prolonging the useful life of the reactors would relieve pressure on the electrical system. According to a report by the consultant EY cited by Nuclear ForumSpain supports the highest nuclear fiscal burden in Europe, with 27.3 euros per megavatio hour in specific encumbrances, which in the opinion of companies places them at a clear disadvantage against other countries. The red line of the government. The Executive maintains its position: the costs of dismantling and management of waste will not fall on consumers. The minister for ecological transition, Sara Aagesen, has responded to electricity with three conditions for any extension of the nuclear park: that does not involve additional costs for citizens, that supply security is guaranteed and that plants strictly comply With the standards of the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN). The Government insists that there are no formal negotiations to extend the lives of the centrals and accuses companies to try to transfer their invoice to the whole citizenship. The Secretary of State for Energy, Joan Groizard, summarized the position In statements collected by eldiario.es: “They want part of the dismantling costs to be paid among all, and we will not transfer it to the whole citizenship.” Forecasts and uncertainties. Costs can continue to grow. The French case is a notice as they have advanced at eldiario.es: The Andra agency reviewed in 2025 the cost of the AGP Cigéo between 26,100 and 37,500 million, an increase of up to 60% compared to 2016. In Spain they have prepared The 9th R&D Plan (2024-2028) of Enresa It includes 31 million in research to develop containers, confinement materials and recover fuel. A modest figure compared to billions at stake, but key to preparing the future AGP of 2072 and reducing long -term risks. In addition, Spain faces this solo calendar within Europe. While France, Sweden or Switzerland choose to expand the life of their reactors or even promote new projects, the Spanish PGRR maintains a plan of Progressive closure without planned extensions. A debate that goes beyond closing. The balance of the electrical system is also present. This summer a paradox has been evidenced: historical record of solar production in Europe, but invoices fired by the lack of storage and the need to resort to gas in night hours. In that hole is where the nuclear has played so far a stable backup role, but does not solve that background problem: it only postpones the closure, it makes the costs more expensive and aggravates the inheritance of waste. The dilemma is clear: can you do without it before the network is prepared to guarantee the same stability without firing the price of light? For the Government, the response is to accelerate renewables, storage and interconnections. For electricity, to keep the nuclear live longer.

20 euros for the most anticipated game of the year

by

With ‘Silksong‘We have gone through all phases, if not the duel, yes of the excessive expectation before the launch of one of the most commented titles of the year: six years after its announcement, we have lived the illusion, denial, we have converted it In a memewe have regained hope, and finally, in the Gamescom We receive the news that There was date: September 4. And it was only the first of the two major news related to the sequel to ‘Hollow Knight’. 20 euros of the wing. Team Cherry, knowing that he had one of the most anticipated titles of 2025, could have risen to the parra and ask for a higher price for his game. But no: fans have gone mad to knowing that The game will cost only 19.99 euros. And it is not an intelligent commercial play, but after seeing how fans spent months talking about the high precious of the AAA Games, it is a declaration of intentions. Why not pass. The decision to maintain ‘Silksong’ in 20 euros reflects a development and marketing philosophy that prioritizes access to the game of the greatest possible number of players about the immediate maximization of benefits. This approach is not new in the indie world, but it is remarkable for the magnitude of the expectations deposited in this sequel. 20 euros is a usual price in independent productions, but the honesty of maintaining low cost can generate a very interesting expansive wave in the industry. It is not the only one. We must not go to the productions made by three people, such as ‘Silksong’, to find cheaper games than usual. The French ‘Clair Oscur: Expedition 33‘, Without a doubt, one of the most acclaimed games of the year, and with an overproduction finish, it went on the market around 50 euros. And China has twisted the usual prices with its last success, ‘Wuchang: Fallen feathersr‘, which arrived at stores last week also around 50 euros. We do not speak in these cases of high profile games like a ‘Call of Duty‘or a’Assassin’s Creed‘, But of international games and very high sales (‘ Clair Osccur ‘reached 3.3 million copies in 33 days, and some analysts estimate some Total sales around 8). In the case of ‘Wuchang’ that price brushing the unusual for a production of that caliber has a lot to do with the intentions of Chinese studies to break the international market in the international market, but commercial strategy or not, it is still remarkable: it is clear that it can be done. With this perspective, it is clear that planting 80 euros from PVP to a game can begin to be received as an excess. Indie world. At this point, say that a good part of the best games that come out every year are Indies, there is nothing provocative: you just have to have eyes on your face. Digital stores are full of games already considered masterpieces (‘Celeste’, ‘Cuphead’, ‘Dead Cells’ …) around 20 euros. ‘Balatro‘, the game sensation last year, costs 14 euros. ‘Blue Prince‘, The best puzzle of recent years, 24.’ Vampire Survivors’, my personal favorite of recent times, just five. And the list is endless. The two recent deliveries of ‘Shinobi’ and ‘Ninja Gaiden’, for example, sensational independent cutting games, move in circles that in no case exceed 30 euros and are two of the most commented and praised games of the moment. ‘Silksong’ rides this wave that gradually introduces a viral thought in the heads of the players: cheap does not equals bad, expensive does not equivalent to good. Once the contrary! Nintendo, now what. The panic seized the players a few months ago when Nintendo announced the exorbitant price of His new ‘Mario Kart’, 90 euros. His ambition did not seem to have limits: even for a title that looked like a technical demo of switch 2 like ‘WELCOME TOUR‘I demanded to go through a box (in exchange for a small price, yes, but the comparison with the free’Astro’s Playroom‘PS5 was flagrant -for the same way: Astro Bot’s complete adventure cost less than 60 euros). Thus began the rumor that the price close to 100 euros for the next AAA was inevitable. And that rumor has not been extinguished: with ‘GTA 6 ‘on the horizon It is inevitable to think that Rockstar can exceed the feared psychological border of the three figures. With ‘Silksong’ to twenty euros we would not talk about a brutal pricing contrast. We would be speaking, almost, of means that circulate at two different (financial) speeds.

Stellantis awaits a ship with open arms. One loaded with Chinese cars to assault the SUV of 30,000 euros

by

China has an objective with its automotive industry: flooding Europe and other main markets with its cars. Its main bet is the electricbut Chinese brands are consolidating in the West with All types of motorizations. Saic, Geely, Byd and, of course, Xiaomithey are increasingly recognizable brands in the market, but at the end of 2024, Another joined the party: Leapmotor. Its objective is to compete in the most tight price segment, and for this they joined Stellantis. Now, the first ship loaded with the new LEAPMOTOR B10 China has left Rumbo to Europe. And it is a serious bet to assault the urban electric SUV segment of 30,000 euros. Stellantis 🤝 China. Stellantis is one of the largest automotive groups, but in recent years he has had to face a Image crisis due to its Puretech engines. Millions of cars with potentially defective engines translate into A guarantee extension (with the cost that this implies for the brand), Millions of euros have burned in unsuccessful developments and have even managed to anger the Italian police. To try to bite in the electricity share of the electric, at the end of 2023 He invested 1,500 million euros in Leapmotor for have 21% of the company. With that movement it became a Strategic shareholder of the Chinese companybut they also created a joint venture called Leapmotor International led by Stellantis (51%) and Leapmotor (49%) that gives Stellantis exclusive rights to export, sell and manufacture Leapmotor products outside China. In a nutshell: Stellantis assembles and sells Chinese models in Europe and other markets and Leapmotor takes advantage of the Stellantis distribution network to consolidate its position in the global market. And a very important model is the B10. LEAPMOTOR B10. Leapmotor has designed the B10 with the international market in mind. It has a 218 hp motorization and something common with the rest of Chinese cars (and following the trend that It has swallowed until the identity of Mazda), a 14.6 -inch screen dominates the interior. After the steering wheel there is an instrument frame that is also a panel of 8.8 inches. It has a length of 4.52 meters by 1.89 meters wide and will arrive with two battery options. On the one hand, 56.2 kWh that allows up to 361 kilometers WLTP. On the other, 67.1 kWh for up to 434 kilometers. The load is up to 168 kW, allowing 80% of the battery to recover in half an hour. Leven Anclas. The commercial debut of the SUV will occur in the IAA Munich Mobility. It is one of the most important windows for electric vehicles and, both Stellantis and Leapmotor, they want to ensure a good inventory for possible buyers. China wants to dominate the electric cars sector in Europe (And not just electric), And companies do not conform to rent huge ro-ro ships To transport your product. We have already seen cases like byd either SAIC opening a flotTo transport their cars, and Leapmotor has also secured his, but without having his own fleet. An alliance with the Italian Grimaldi Group is the one that will allow the Chinese company to use its ships, including the latest generation, for its operations. The fact that It has already started from China With 2,500 units of B10 is the great Tianjin, which holds imposing figures: 200 meters of length. 38 meters manga. Capacity for up to 9,241 units. Electrical system to avoid emissions during scales. Low emissions man engines prepared for future conversion to fuels without carbon. Rivals. The idea is that the great Tianjin arrives on time for both the presentation at the German event and for the start of sales in concessionaires. In addition, its arrival will allow Stellantis to have a car to compete, directly, with the most settled electronic SUVs in our market such as the Renault Scénic E-Techhe Volkkswagen ID.4he Byd Atto 3 And the most ‘dangerous’, the MG ZS EV. The version with less autonomy is expected to be positioned for less than 30,000 euros, a figure lower than those of those direct rivals, but we must wait for the official presentation to confirm it. Climbing. Although the IAA Mobiliy is the event that marks the start of Stellantis and Leapmotor operations with the B10, companies will not limit this model to the European market. Apart from 20 countries on the continent, the intention It is selling it in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and South America at the end of this year.
