A local law passed six months ago made it illegal for them to carry out their activities within 200 metres of schools, homes and businesses. In the months following the new laws, many prostitutes complained that they were being ‘persecuted’ by police and ‘given no alternatives’. Bobby Dayal, who runs a company on the Guadalhorce Industrial Estate, is sceptical. He claims the prostitutes are not using the new plot, saying: “They are still standing at the same places they normally do to attract customers. •Turn to page 6

30 people arrested in crime wave bust GUARDIA CIVIL have cracked down on robberies in inland areas of the Guadalhorce Valley (Malaga) and arrested 30 people. For the past two months, residents in the area lived in fear that their home would be the next to be targeted. The thieves had focused their attention on country houses, stealing anything they could, entering the properties at any time of the day or night. Crime reports had doubled in the area, and Guardia Civil met several times with Local Police and residents to inform them that they had implemented a special plan to prevent further robberies. Amongst the detainees are mostly young people of different nationalities who acted in groups of between two and four people. The number of robberies has now fallen, although it is feared the criminals will now target less inhabited areas where they are less likely to be observed.

Dozens hurt as blast rocks Gibraltar dock By Nicole Hallett MORE than a dozen people were injured when a fuel tank exploded at Gibraltar port. Two Spanish welders were injured in the explosion. A police officer sustained minor injuries while rescuing one of them. Twelve passengers on board the Independence of

The blast occurred close to a cruise ship by the main fuel storage facility in the northern part of the harbour. “The lid of the tank was blown off by the blast,” said a police spokesperson. The fire spread to a neighbouring container
shortly after 7.30pm after the first container collapsed. “There were two big explosions around 3.30pm that sounded like thunder echoing around the rock,” Sacha Varma, who works in Gibraltar, told EWN. “My girlfriend Emma heard them as she was working on Bayside Road, then Gib went mental with sirens.
Fewer students drop out of school for the first time in a decade THE number of children in Andalucia dropping out of school early has fallen for the first time in 10 years.

drop out at between 18 and 24 to fall by 30 per cent, according to the Ministry of Education. For the whole of Spain, figures have fallen from 31.2 per cent of pupils leaving school in 2009, to 28.4 per cent in 2010.
Woman accused of shooting father, 91 A 91-YEAR-OLD man was allegedly killed by his daughter, 70, in Madrid. When Guardia Civil arrived at the scene, they found the man had been

from senile dementia, was already dead. His daughter, was arrested, although the police are carrying out an investigation to determine whether she fired the shot.
“The phone lines went down for a bit as the switchboard was overloaded. “As night fell there was still a thick black smoke going from North Mole right over Marina Bay and fire-fighting ships were still pumping water on it. “When I went for a walk down there shortly before midnight the fire was still going strong. The police had cordoned off the entire area, and there was a really strong smell of burning fuel in the air,” Varma said. Meanwhile, Chris Hicks, 68, a British Benalmadena Costa resident, visiting The Rock on a day-trip, said: “I saw a vast cloud of black smoke.

Foreign visitors spend 41% more in Andalucia IN April, foreign tourists visiting Andalucia spent €792m, 40.8 per cent more than the same month last year. In the whole of Spain, foreign tourists spent €4,217m, according to the Tourist Expenditure Survey carried out by the Tourist Studies Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. The average expenditure per person was €1,049, 11.1 per cent more than in 2010, when
the average in Andalucia was €85, 9.9 per cent less than the Spanish average of €94. The ministry has said that this was affected by the fact that Easter was in April this year, while this time last year, tourism figures were affected by flights cancelled by the Icelandic volcano. Andalucia came in third place, after the Canaries, with €894m spent, 36 per cent more than last year, and Cataluña, with
€886m, 9.6 per cent more. In the first four months of this year, the total expenditure by foreign tourists in Andalucia has risen to €2,122m, with an average expenditure per person of €1,067, 1.3 per cent up, although the average daily expenditure fell by 1.8 per cent to €81. The main increases in the amount of money spent was seen from British holidaymakers, with 37.7 per cent more.

Demonstrators demand democracy ‘in practice’
Fuengirola’s Magnificent 7 EWN EXCLUSIVE By Nicole Hallett THOUSANDS of disaffected youths, under the 15-M banner, continue to fill Spain’s squares protesting against the way bankers have ‘caused the recession’. In Fuengirola, it is no different. Around seven locals of mixed age-groups are determined to make their point by protesting in the town’s main square, watched over by as many police officers. The protest was arranged through a Facebook page called ‘Fuengirola Despierta’ (Fuengirola Wake Up!), which is linked to the ‘Democracia Ya’ – Democracy Now – movements that are erupting on a local, national and international scale. “This is a non-political gathering,” explained Jason Serle, 36, who joined the demonstrators three days ago. “Our aim is to establish a link between the central and regional governments and the town halls, and the laws that they make and

It would be easy to put our laws to a referendum. “Currently, we only get to vote for candidates who, once elected, do what they want. There is not even the obligation to fulfil the promises they made or any accountability when they fail in those promises,” he said, and added: “We are merely seeking a democracy in practice, not just in
name.” The demonstrators tried to place some of their signs in the square by the fountain, but police officers ordered them to be removed. Another demonstrator, Eric Mikhaelides, said: “The mayor of Fuengirola is very quick to stamp out demonstrations.” Although Jesus Escalena Rios, 44, believes: “It is better that we have a police presence; it means we attract more attention.”
Jason’s father, 81-year-old John, quoted John James Harris: “What defence does a society have against a government that controls the police and army?” Meanwhile, a female police officer told EWN: “They have the right to be here and to protest, but they are not allowed to put up posters.” When asked why there were so many police officers when there was only a handful of protestors, she explained: “Initially, there were only a few officers, but I called in reinforcements because I felt threatened by one of the demonstrators.” The protestor in question had admitted to perhaps provoking the officers when he silently gave them ‘the finger’. “When the other police arrived they formed a circle around me and one of them said that he would beat me up when he was out of uniform,” said Gonzales Perez, 40. “The police refused to identify themselves or show their identification numbers to me after they had taken down my details,” Perez claimed.

AENA sacks first striking controller SPANISH Airports Authority AENA has announced the dismissal of an air traffic controller. The move comes six months after the chaos created in Spain by the unannounced air traffic controllers’ strike. The sacked controller worked at Santiago de Compostela Airport where the problems first began in November last year before a general decision by colleagues throughout Spain to take sick leave before a major holiday, causing Spanish air space to collapse. At Santiago de Compostela Airport alone, disciplinary proceedings
were initiated against 29 employees and have now been resolved. One controller has been dismissed, two have been sent to Almeria and Granada, four cases have been sent to the public prosecutor for serious misdemeanours, and the 22 remaining employees face different degrees of suspension without pay ranging from five to 86 days. The problem in Santiago began a month before the rest of Spain when thousands of passengers were stranded and the army took over at civil airports throughout the country.

From front page “They are always there. It’s not good for business.” The women, many of them living in Spain illegally, have set up the Association for Women, Transsexuals, Transvestites and Sex Workers in Spain, the first of its kind in Malaga Province. They intend to request grants to provide hygiene facilities and condoms, as well as carrying out talks and training courses to help to get them off the streets. Malaga City Hall has already approved a programme to improve the conditions of women in the sex trade, with a budget of €350,000.

Prostitution in Spain exists in a kind of legal limbo, not being legal nor illegal. It is, however, illegal for third parties, including brothels, to profit from prostitution. Meanwhile, on the nearby Azucarera Industrial Estate, an establishment advertised as a ‘hotel’, which, according to neighbours is a brothel, was prevented from opening by police. Thirty women were on the premises at the time of the police visit. It planned to open with porn actress Maria Lapiedra as the star at the inauguration. The sole reason for the closure was because when the industrial warehouse was given planning permission to be converted into a ‘hotel’ the project included paving the area outside the door, but the ‘Sala Blue’ planned to open without having done so. When the Urban Planning Department carried out an inspection of the building, they also found that unauthorised work had been carried out inside.

By Jennifer Leighfield SOME 50,000 people took to the streets of Malaga on Sunday for the Day of the Armed Forces. The weekend-long affair culminated in an event to pay homage to those who have given their life for Spain, presided over by the King and Queen. Also in attendance were: the Prince and Princess of Asturias, as well as the Minister of Defence, Carme Chacon, the president of the Junta de Andalucia, Jose Antonio GriĂąan, and the mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre. Cannons were fired upon the arrival of the Royal Family, and later, parachutists landed by the fountain at the end of the local Paseo del Parque, the third carrying the Spanish flag which was hoisted to the sound of the national anthem. Some 250 members of the air force, army and navy, as well as the Guardia Civil, took part in the parade, although many local residents complained that they had expected more, and angry outbreaks were reported.

Home negotiates relocation with 30 remaining residents EWN EXCLUSIVE By Jennifer Leighfield & Nicole Hallett
MARYMAR Care Home in Benalmadena was due to close yesterday (Wednesday), but at the time of going to press it remained open. Representatives for the company that owns the retirement home, Unicaja Obra Social, were holding individual talks with each of the 30 remaining elderly residents. Residents have been promised that the home will remain open until everyone has been relocated. A decision has not yet been taken regarding the future of the home, but the spokeswoman for the affected residents, Sonia Martinez, told EWN that Unicaja had promised to study each case individually.
Unicaja has reached an agreement with homes in Malaga, Coin, Ronda, Torre del Mar and Benalmadena, to maintain the same price they currently pay for seriously disabled residents, approximately €1,200 per month, while paying the difference on other homes for them for five months, until financial aid is approved by the regional government. Emilio Ortega Cortez, aged 85, said: “If there is no payment offered from Unicaja then I will have to go to one of their other homes which are very far away. I will be alone because my family is in Malaga.” Juana and Carolina Carro, aged 59 and 61, are both nurses; Juana at Juan Carlos Hospital and Carolina in Barcelona. Their 86-year-old mother who suffers from Alzheimer’s has been in the
residence since September last year. Carolina believes such a move is stressful enough for someone without a disability, let alone for someone who has. “I do not want to have to move her and she does not want to leave. She feels as if she is being kicked out of her home. She has made friends here and is being ripped away from that and will have to start all over again, which is detrimental to her mental wellbeing,” Carolina says. Juana adds: “They are meeting with each of us individually. Everybody has a price and I am sure they will be offering each of us something different. I do not care about the money. If we have to go then what I am looking for is a decent place with the same social interaction and care, and which is close to Malaga.” Maria Carmen Navarro, 59 and her sister Maria Dolores
Emilio Ortega Cortez, 85: ‘I will be alone because my family is in Malaga.’ had just come out of the meeting to discuss their 89-year-old mother, Isabel Barbado Luque. Isabel is in a wheelchair and has lived at the residence for many years.
EWN reporters witnessed how she cried as she said goodbye to her friends and was wheeled away to what will become her new home. “I don’t want to go,” she said, “I will miss my friends.”

Celebrities in Marbella for charity gala THIS Saturday 350 celebrity guests will attend a gala event at Marbella’s luxury hotel Villa Padierna, in aid of Children for Peace charity. Ivana Trump, considered to be the richest woman in the world, will be staying in the same suite as the US First Lady at the Villa Padierna Hotel. Trump and a group of celebrities will be partying with the Marbella jet-set. They will also be shopping in Marbella town centre, and lunching with Rudolph Schonburg and his wife, Princess Maria Luisa of Prussia (cousin to Queen Sofia of Spain), before attending the ‘Children for Peace’ Gala at the Villa Padierna. She has been invited by Countess Alicia de Villapadierna, and her husband, Ricardo Arranza, and will be followed by a small army of the US press. ‘Children for Peace’ was established to help assist and
support children living in dire situations in the Middle East, Ethiopia, Mali and other countries affected by war. The president is millionaire Debbi Mace and the vicepresident is Lamia Khashoggi. The star of the event will be singer Aaron Carter, who at 24 is a sensation with US teens. Costa del Sol-based composers Dario Poli and David Mairs have become dedicated to helping Children for Peace gain more recognition, for almost two years, by means of their specially created musical compositions. Dario told EWN that he likes the idea that all donations they receive go directly to the projects they help to fund. Their interest in the NGO resulted in the composers producing their first musical work for the charity ‘Corazon’, which was accepted immediately by Debbi Mace and used in a

Banus plans for CCTV on hold THE project to implement a CCTV system in Puerto Banus is on hold due to lack of ‘time’ and ‘funding’. “We are stuck,” said Centre for Tourist Initiatives CIT President Juan Jose Gonzales. The association is seeking funding to undertake the drafting of the project and a company to undertake the work. “Currently there is no entity willing to realise the project free of charge, even though it would not be too costly,” said Gonzales. He stressed that the essential problem lies not in the spending but the availability of CIT partners.
“It is more a question of time than money,” he explained. “We continue to believe that this important project would greatly benefit Puerto Banus and stop it from degrading,” assured Gonzalez. “The implementation of a video surveillance system would help strengthen the security of an area that attracts more than five million visitors,” he added. More than a year ago this project was rejected for the fourth time due to the submission of ‘incorrect’ documentation. Once again they had to correct the documentation and even developed a new proposal that met all the requirements insisted upon by the central government.

Paedophile suspect ‘tried’ to lure minors TWO different investigations have led police to the same person. A 32-year-old man in Malaga is accused of striking up relationships with children, pretending to be a child himself. In March 2008, he allegedly sent a text message to a TV programme saying; “I’m a
12-year-old boy with a video camera on my mobile and I’m looking for kids my age to do the same thing”. It was seen by a woman who reported it to the police. The TV station said five similar messages had been sent from the same number, but as it was a ‘pay-as-you-go’ card, the sender couldn’t be traced.
British tourists run riot in hotel POLICE were called to a hotel in Valencia’s port district last week, where a group of 15 British holidaymakers were causing havoc. Police were summoned and were greeted by a cloud of vapour from fire extinguishers that had been set off by the drunken party. Spanish police arrested the entire group whose ages ranged from 21 to 36. The party had only checked into the hotel that morning, and reports from the hotel said they had been ‘drinking continuously since their arrival.’ The carpet damage alone will cost more than €13,000.
At almost the same time, a woman went to the police reporting that on a programme her daughter was watching, there was a message from someone claiming to be 12, offering nude photos of himself in exchange for photos of children his age. She pretended to be a nine-year-old boy and the detainee allegedly requested a photo of ‘his’ buttocks, and when she also pretended to be a girl, he asked for a photo of her breasts, and others of a sexual nature. Officers seized his mobile phones, and a PlayStation 3 he also used to contact minors. Guardia Civil in Huelva suspect he had sent a picture of a naked woman to a boy in Huelva, and asking the boy to undress in front of the camera. A Malaga court will try the case.

Farmers lose millions in ‘killer cucumber’ scare ANTONIO LABAO, the manager of Malaga-based farming co-operative Frunet, will travel to
Germany to hold a press conference tomorrow to ‘save the image of the co-operative.’
Farmers in Andalucia are reporting multi-millioneuro losses after the E.coli outbreak in Hamburg (Germany) decimated fruit and vegetable exports. German authorities initially pointed to organic cucumbers imported from Almeria and Malaga. Shortly after Spain was ‘cleared’ on Tuesday, the Junta de Andalucia’s President Antonio Griñan demanded that the European Union compensate Spanish farmers for the economic impact caused since the outbreak began. “They don’t want anything,” one Almeria farmer said referring to EU buyers. “They don’t want aubergines, courgettes, peppers, melons or watermelons.” In the five days that followed the outbreak, widespread media reports
of ‘killer Spanish cucumbers’ saw orders throughout the province and elsewhere in Andalucia cancelled. Countries which removed Spanish-grown cucumbers from sale included Germany, Russia, Czech Republic, France, Austria, Belgium and Holland. Even after Hamburg’s Health Minister Cornelia Prüfer-Storcks reported on Tuesday that analysis of the cucumbers in question revealed they were not the cause of the outbreak, news continued to appear on the internet to suggest the contrary. According to Labao, the lab results in Hamburg prove what his
Lab results clear Spanish cucumbers. company had been saying: that the source of the outbreak was not in Spain. He believes blaming Spain was ‘absurd and very strange given nobody here is infected’. Last week, a German company carried out a thorough inspection of the goods and facilities of Frunet in Algarrobo (Malaga), and in more than 20 analyses there was no trace of the bacteria, he said. Labao has assured that the co-operative is seeking legal advice to establish the possibility of claiming compensation from the German government.

Chacon stands down By Staff Reporter “I BACKED out to forestall an early election,” admitted Carme Chacon, Defence Minister and presidential hopeful. Spain’s Prime Minister, Jose Luis Zapatero Rodriguez, had already announced that he would not run in next year’s general elections and Chacon was a likely contender for the PSOE primaries. So too was Alfredo Rubalcaba, Interior Minister as well as VicePresident and considered the government’s safest pair of hands. Then came the municipal and regional elections debacle on May 22 when the socialists were routed by the PP conservatives. Rumblings were heard within the party, particularly from Patxi Lopez, the Basque Region’s president. A
Carme Chacon. national conference to renew the party leadership was called for and some – including Chacon – feared this would topple Zapatero and prompt an early election. Chacon’s withdrawal consequently left only Rubalcaba and last Saturday it was announced that he would be the primaries’ sole candidate. Not all of the PSOE hierarchy
subscribed to Chacon’s view of the situation, however. Any hint of division was ‘absurd’, according to Jose Blanco, Minister of Public Works and Party Vice-Secretary. Health Minister, Leire Pajin expressed her support for Rubalcaba although the primaries process was not entirely closed, she warned, citing two Andalucia socialists who intended
to enter the primaries race.
“Chacon was less upset than angry,” confided sources close to her. She felt it had been a clean fight until May 22 when it all came apart and threatened to topple the government, they said. Talking to TVE, however, the smiling minister attributed her good humour to something other than politics. As she is Catalan she was “delighted” by Barça’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League final, she said.

No skirts for Cadiz nurses NURSES at a private clinic in Cadiz should not be obliged to wear skirts, ruled the Supreme Court. This reversed an earlier High Court ruling after nurses from the San Rafael private clinic complained of discrimination. Unlike male nurses or female operating theatre nurses, they had to wear skirts, aprons and caps, they said, and were penalised if they did not observe the strict dress code. The High Court found in favour of the clinic, saying it did not detect discrimination in the regulations and defended a company’s right to impose a uniform. “It was a blow, but

we always thought that they’d say we were right. And if they didn’t we believed our fight would at least help those in the future,” said nurse Adela Sastre. The wait was shorter than she and her companions had originally feared. They want scrubs based on health and hygiene grounds, as well as equality. Imposing skirts was discriminatory, not objective and belonged to other times, ruled the Supreme Court, quoting Article 14 of the Spanish Constitution which declares that all Spaniards are equal. Nevertheless, skirts are part of the dress uniform for female members of Spain’s
armed forces, with trousers a requisite when they are armed. Otherwise, the choice is theirs, said the Defence ministry. Women meambers of the Policia Nacional and Guardia Civil wear trousers at all times although they can wear a skirt for dress uniform if preferred. But discrimination cuts both ways and some male employees – in banks for instance – complain of bias. “Their female colleagues can wear what they like, but they have to wear suits and ties,” pointed out Almudena Fontecha, Equality spokeswoman for the trade union, UGT. “It’s something we should start thinking about,” she said.

Police chief sentenced for sexual harassment MADRID Provincial Court has sentenced the former chief of the Police International Co-ordination Unit to seven months in
prison for the sexual harassment of a female officer. He has been acquitted of the charges of harassment brought against him by another policewoman and of the charges of causing bodily harm and degrading treatment brought against him by both women. However, he is suspended
for the duration of the sentence and banned from communicating with the victim for three years, as well as having to pay her €20,000 compensation. Between 2004 and 2005, he allegedly made sexual propositions to the two policewomen, taking advantage of his position. In one case, the time limit
for the crime has elapsed, because the victim failed to report it at the time. Many other female officers testified in the case and confirmed they had also been the victims of similar behaviour by their superior. In at least one case, an officer who suffered harassment later resigned.

Every time I visit I leave with the same feeling, that it is an amazing place because it is so well run. If for one moment you put aside the sadness when you see more than 250 abandoned/abused dogs, there is a positive side. At ACE you will be mainly greeted by waggy tails. The dogs are not just one of a number, the people who run the refuge know the name of every dog and their character. The financial crisis has made the job even harder with a lack of funds and lack of foster/permanent homes for the dogs. Apart from obvious help such as fostering or adoption, there are small ways we can help, such as donating towels, sheets, bedding, airing racks, kennels, tarpaulin, the list is endless. If any one has any such items and cannot get to ACE, and you live between Estepona and Calahonda I will be happy to collect them and take them to ACE for you. Email me: clare@purepilatesmarbella.com Any financial donations should be made directly to ACE. www.acecharity.org.

25% of company loan requests refused By Business Editor, Brendan Small ALTHOUGH more than a third (38 per cent) of companies in Spain applied for a loan last year, one in four (25.2 per cent) saw their application rejected. This was revealed in a survey carried out by Spain’s National Statistics Institute of small and medium-sized companies in the services, construction and industrial sectors. Another one in four were ‘partially successful’ while half saw their loan application granted. By comparison, in 2007, 80.3 per cent of loans were approved. Almost all (96.8 per cent) loan applications were made to banks. Reasons given for turning them down
remained similar to 2007, with ‘insufficient guarantees’ (38.6 per cent), ‘low liquidity’ (36.9) being the top two reasons. ‘No reason given’ accounted for 35.5 per cent of rejections (5 per cent more than in 2007) in joint third place with ‘lack of capital’. Six in 10 companies say banks were less likely to approve a loan in 2010 than in 2007, although the number of applications remained practically the same during this period. More than half think the cost of obtaining financing has increased since the recession began. The study also shows 60 per cent of companies will need financing between 2011 and 2013.

By M Mynor TWITTER is close to acquiring London-based startup TweetDeck in a $40m (€28m) deal, making the company’s founder Iain Dodsworth a multimillionaire. The microblogging website has finalised a cash and shares deal with Dodsworth, which is expected to be officially confirmed today, according to media reports. Twitter has remained quiet on the speculation, which first emerged last month, and issued a statement saying that it will ‘continue to not comment on rumours.’ TweetDeck’s software enables users to organise their various Twitter accounts from a single launchpad, while also integrating data from other social networks including Facebook. Dodsworth, a programmer who has worked at the Prudential and PricewaterhouseCoopers, founded TweetDeck in 2008 after becoming frustrated at missing messages from friends. The company employs 15 staff and is based in the Old Street area of London, dubbed the ‘Silicon Roundabout’ due to the large amount of technology startups. Despite TweetDeck failing to ever turn a profit, the company has received the support of many high profile Twitter users, such as Stephen Fry and Ashton Kutcher. Twitter’s interest in TweetDeck accelerated after reports emerged that internet entrepreneur Bill Gross’s UberMedia company had submitted a $30m (€21m) offer.

Barclays hire Solbes as caja speculation grows By Business Reporter BARCLAYS BANK is to hire former Spanish Finance Minister Pedro Solbes to head its Spain operations, a spokesman for the bank said on Monday. Solbes, 68, will join the board of the Spanish unit as well as advise on European banking issues such as regulation, given his experience as EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs from 1999 to 2004. He was Finance Minister for Spain between 2004 and 2009. Meanwhile, Barclays may be considering purchasing one of Spain’s highly-indebted cajas de ahorros (savings banks)
according to a report in the British newspaper The Sunday Times. This follows a meeting held at La Moncloa in Madrid between Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and Bod Diamond, Chief Executive of Barclays Bank. The Spanish prime minister expressed his government’s firm commitment to strengthening the Spanish financial system. Zapatero also assured the Barclays boss the government will make reforms to regulations governing savings banks, as well as the creation of the Fund for Ordered Bank Restructuring, in order to help foster activity and create jobs.

www.euroweeklynews.com Tax inspectors take more tax out of the rich HM Revenue & Customs set up its High Net Worth Unit in 2009 specifically to investigate the tax affairs of the UK’s wealthiest citizens. So far it is proving a great success for the Treasury. The High Net Worth Unit replaced the Complex Personal Tax Team which used to bring in £25 million annually. In its first year the new unit managed to net £86 million. According to reports it has now almost doubled this achievement, generating £162 million extra revenue for the 2010-11 tax year. This is on top of the tax already paid by the individuals concerned. Treasury Minister, David Gauke, commented: “These are economically challenging times and it is absolutely essential and only fair that everyone pays their share of tax.” The Treasury acknowledges that high net worth individuals tend to have complicated tax affairs, but says this complexity should not prevent accuracy, and that the “very rich” must “pay the tax the law says they should”. The Unit works with representatives of the individuals to ensure tax rules are applied correctly. The extra tax becomes due when rules have been misunderstood or incorrectly applied to the taxpayer’s particular circumstances. If the Unit finds evidence of tax evasion the matter is referred to another HMRC unit. This is an example of why it is important to get your tax

UK Revenue Continues To Target Tax Evaders l by Bill Blevins, Financia Correspondent, Blevins Franks
planning right from the outset so that you do not end up with an unexpected tax bill. Switzerland Some taxpayers could also find themselves paying more tax when the agreement between the UK and Switzerland is finalised and launched. According to all reports, under the agreement Swiss financial institutions will start to deduct a withholding tax from interest earnings, dividends and capital gains earned by British taxpayers. The tax collected will be anonymously remitted to HMRC. The Treasury expects to earn £3 billion in extra income over the next four years from the agreement. While the withholding tax was initially expected to be between 25% and 35%, the Financial Times has since reported that, according to a source familiar with the investigations, it will
actually be 50%. The actual amount still needs to be officially announced, however. Also as part of the deal, investors will also pay a one-off levy in recognition of past unpaid tax. The announcement on the final deal is expected soon. The talks between the UK and Switzerland were held against a backdrop of changing tax transparency standards. The conclusion is anticipated to set a new precedent in tax information exchange and for the Swiss banking industry. The UK is not the only country negotiating with Switzerland. Germany has already started discussions on a similar agreement and France and Italy are expected to initiate similar talks in the near future. A similar deal with the US has also been suggested, with Switzerland’s Finance Minister saying that a withholding tax would be the “right instrument” to resolve remaining tax issues with the US. HMRC’s latest initiative HMRC has set up a new task force, with specialist teams to “undertake intensive bursts of compliance activity in specific
high risk trade sectors and locations across the UK”. This initiative is part of the £900 million allocated in the government’s October Spending Review to claw back around £7 billion lost to tax evasion annually by 2014/15. The restaurant trade is the first to be targeted. The first task force will be deployed in London, but will later cover the North West and Scotland. There will be another nine task forces over the next year, followed by more in 2012/13. Mike Eland, Director General Enforcement and Compliance, said: “The message is clear – if you deliberately seek to evade tax HMRC can and will track you down, and you’ll face not only a heavy fine, but possibly a criminal prosecution as well.” Over the past year HMRC’s increased targeting of tax evasion and avoidance has brought the Exchequer an additional £8.5 billion of tax revenue, nearly 50% more than the total for the previous three years. It is aiming to undertake 1,000 criminal prosecutions a year. New penalty regime The start of the tax year in April introduced a new penalty regime
for people found to have evaded tax. The amount depends on which jurisdiction the undisclosed assets were held in. For tax evasion within the UK and countries which automatically exchange information with the UK - up to 100% of the tax owed. For countries which exchange information on request – up to 150%. Other countries – up to 200%. Commenting on the changes, David Gauke, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said: “The time is running out for anyone going offshore to evade tax. Get your tax affairs in order, or face the risk of a penalty worth up to 200% of the tax evaded.” Wherever you live, be it the UK or here in Spain, it is important to make sure you get your tax planning right so that you do not have to face the consequences later. For advice on legitimate tax planning in Spain and/or the UK, speak to an experienced international tax adviser like Blevins Franks.

Get by with help from your friends HAVE you ever considered how paying off debt is a bit like dieting? It all starts off with the best of intentions, but once nobody is looking you’ve got your face stuck in the fridge, taking large and cheeky bites out of a chocolate tart. Weight-loss experts are always harping on about how support groups are essential to starting and sticking to a diet. Apparently, succeeding in shedding the pounds is not only reliant on yourself, but on a whole host of other people, too. Which is why WeightWatchers is such a success. The concept of the group is to band together, support each other and most importantly communicate how much weight is being lost. It seems the very idea of having to confront other

Loose change A look at finance for females Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
people with the number of kilos being shed gives even the most slack of dieters motivation. Conclusion – it’s much easier to lose weight when you have a support network – so why should paying off debt be any different? In America, the latest trend in the financial world is a debt support group. And, goodness knows, thanks to the recession, there are enough financially crippled people in the
States to utilise them. One such support group is called DebtGoal – an organisation that looks at your debt, monthly income, spending habits, and specific personal challenges. Like WeightWatchers, DebtGoal gives you financial ‘exercises’ each month. A homegrown solution to this type of organisation would be to team up with some close friends and family and start your own ‘DebtGoal’ support group. Lay all your debts on the table, then arrange to meet your ‘DebtGoal’ buddies twice a week and analyse each other’s progress. A supportive shoulder and some preying eyes over your accounts could be all that’s needed to whip any financial mess into order.

Good client relationships are key MY father used to say that he closed more business on the golf course than in the office. I am not suggesting everyone go out and learn how to play golf, but the sentiment is to build a relationship with the client. Often when you wish to have a new customer or keep existing ones, the initial reaction is to give them a discount on the price of the product or service to close the sale. In the long-run, this may not be the best tactic.
B
est Practice
With Stephen Boss
www.sgbconsultingspain.com
The most important reasons not to apply this strategy are that it suggests the initial price was too high, and there is now a relationship based on price not trust. Business is more than just selling stuff. It is the relationship
you build with the client. A client might be willing to pay more for a product or service for a longer period of time if they like and trust the person proving it.
Are they married? Have children? Do their children like football? Buy tickets if you can. The initial cost dwarfs the longterm benefits.
Show you care In this age of email, the personal touch is often lost. With social networking it is very easy to find out when is their birthday and other personal details, or simply ask them and send a card; yes, use the post office not a virtual card.
Price of loyalty If unsure of a customer’s loyalty, ask them to fill out a questionnaire with a benefit attached such as the possibility of a plane ticket or free dinner. It is better to know where one stands than wonder and be surprised at the end of the day.
Have male entrepreneurs become too complacent?
IT seems the power behind the throne has come out of hiding. Female chief executive officers in Spain are on the increase. At a 10 per cent presence, there is still some way to go, but the gap is narrowing. Discount supermarket chain DIA is set to have as its president Ana Maria Llopis; it will be the biggest Spanish company run by a woman. A phenomenon not yet recognised is the huge potential shown by businesswomen. Men are being sharp-elbowed aside by female dynamos. This is not confined to the upper echelons of corporate power, it is self-evident across Spain’s Mediterranean business communities. I noticed the female assault on traditional maledominated business bastions when attending networking events in the UK. It was not unusual to find many of those attending were women; mostly self-employed entrepreneurs. Noteworthy was their enthusiasm and almost evangelical selfbelief. Whereas the men tended to be laid-back, their female counterparts
I
n my view
with
Paul Polke were wearing their business not just talking it. As business assessor for Britain’s leading quality assurance trade association,
Female CEOs in Spain are on the increase. I was in no doubt as to women’s important role in business. Most of the companies I visited were headed by a male boss who looked after the trade. It was the woman who took care of the sharp end by providing the skills of financial management, marketing and risk-taking. To my knowledge there are no business groups exclusive to male membership. I have no doubt that any suggestion that one be formed would be dismissed as ludicrous. On the other hand, women’s business networking groups are plentiful. They are vibrant, inter-active and their members are up for any
challenge. One can only marvel at their passion. What has brought about the change? Are women in business more driven than men; have male entrepreneurs become complacent? Alison Meehan of networking group Costa Women, says: “Over my 30 year working lifetime, the stereotypical view of women has changed dramatically. Successful women in business are no longer the exception, they are the norm. “Women traditionally created and led social and supportive networks. With the arrival of the internet this ability moved into the social media/social
business sphere. Information Beautiful report reveals Twitter and Facebook have 57 per cent women users. Morgan Stanley say the fastest growing demographic group on Facebook is women aged 55 and older; up 175 per cent since September 2008.” Karen Love, VicePresident of Company Women, Costa Blanca, has a UK banking background where the men are entrenched. She says: “They can be difficult to edge aside. Here on the Costas the glass ceiling hardly exists. This gives businessminded women more free rein and they make the most of it.” Karla Darocas, artist, educator, entrepreneur and founder of Women in Business Club (WIBC), now retired as president but still a member, is in general agreement: “When I moved to the Costa Blanca in 2000 there were no women’s business clubs. I found that shocking. I set up WIBC so that I could make contacts, find clients, and educate women about business and cybernetics. “I know from experience that women are natural at being entrepreneurs. For thousands of years women ran the household, which is basically a family business. Women are creative, they take risks, they communicate with great skill, and they balance budgets and many other things that are the foundations of entrepreneurialism,” she added.

Can a marriage be made in heaven? IN view of all the media coverage given to ‘the wedding’ - and all things wedding-related from an adult’s perspective - I thought it might be interesting to look at the subject from another standpoint: that of eightyear-olds. Here are some of their thoughts I overheard in a recent discussion on marriage initiated by a teacher friend: 1. What’s the right age to get married? Twenty-three is best because you know the person forever by then. 2. How do you decide whom to marry? (i) No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it long before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with. (ii) You’ve got to find somebody who likes the

same stuff. If you like sports, she should like it that you like it. 3. How can a stranger tell if two people are married? You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. 4. What do your mum and dad have in common? Both don’t want any more kids.
Children have their own ideas on marriage. 5. Is it better to be single or married? It’s better for girls to be single. However, boys need someone to clean up after them. 6. How would you make a marriage work? Keep telling your wife she looks pretty, even if she looks like the back of a bus.

Dealing with the results of a very public affair SUPER-INJUNCTIONS have been the topic of conversation recently. A footballer tried to take one out after having an affair (we all know who it is now) but do you think celebs should be allowed to take out an injunction? Being from a family that had a public divorce*, it is horrible. It is probably one of the worst things that could happen because everyone knows why your parents have split up and they’ve seen pictures of the other woman who was involved. We couldn’t leave the house for almost two weeks. There were members of the press sitting outside my home who would ring on the doorbell every 10 minutes to try and get answers, which drives you mad. We had no food, and the animals had no food. As horrible as it was for everyone involved, unfortunately, it’s just one of those things; if you are in the public eye and you cheat on your partner there are consequences involved and not just for you, but your whole family. The idea of a superinjunction is just ridiculous.
Fia Tarrant Tune in to Fia’s Breaksfast Show on Spectrum FM
It’s basically giving people with money a chance to do whatever they like and pay to get away with it. Why should someone who’s famous or has lots of money be able to put a super-injunction in place to cover up the wrong they’ve done? Even though our ordeal was awful, as is for any family, with the likes of Twitter and Facebook it’s never been easier for names to fly around the internet linking them to a scandal, so what is the point of wasting money on a super-injunction? I think we all know the moral of the story here: don’t do something you don’t want other people to know about. And, if you do, at least let them know before someone else on Twitter finds out!
* Fia’s father is UK radio and television broadcaster Chris Tarrant, best known for hosting ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’
EWN Comment A get-out clause? BARACK OBAMA told Arab dictators ‘change or go’ but if they heed him and go, how will Obama greet replacements unacceptable to Washington? What help will be forthcoming from the United States in accommodating the waves of immigrants that would inevitably follow those already inundating Europe? These tricky questions have to be asked, because the answers promise to be trickier still.
If you are in the public eye and you cheat, there are consequences.

Danny and Wheeler make their living promoting a high-energy drink to pupils as a wholesome alternative to drugs. The job fits perfectly with uber-slacker Wheeler's rock'n'roll lifestyle, while cynical Danny, who's focus is his girlfriend Beth, feels underused and that his life is dribbling away. However, neither men can find the motivation to grab life by the scruff - until, one day, they crash their truck and are given the choice between jail or community service. They choose the latter, becoming mentors to a 10year-old breast-obsessed lad called Ronnie and teenage role-play gamer Augie. It's difficult to tell whose behaviour is worse, the children or the 'adults', but a hilarious battle of wills ensues, which will have a meaningful outcome for each of the quartet.

DRIVING from Almeria to Mojacar on the motorway recently, the rear nearside tyre punctured. I stopped the car on the hard shoulder. Being in my 80s and not having changed a wheel for many years, I considered the situation. What happened next was remarkable. Within a minute or two a car pulled up on the hard shoulder just ahead of me and a young Spaniard wearing a suit and tie came to assess the problem. He immediately set to, loosening the wheel nuts, jacking up the car and fitting the spare tyre. As he waved goodbye, I slipped a €50 note into his shirt pocket. With a shake of the head and a charming smile he removed the note, dropped it on the driver’s seat of my car and was gone. Aren’t guardian angels wonderful? John van Dijk, Mojacar
Would-be voters WE did try to vote in the local elections, but were instead led on a ‘car treasure hunt’, never finding our allotted polling station in an obscurely named local school. First we went to the school where we voted four years ago, but that had been pulled down. After a discussion with several other would-be voters we decided

WALKING along the Paseo Maritimo in Fuengirola, I came across a group of people lighting Chinese lanterns. When I asked why, I was told that they - the Socialist party - were doing this in lieu of their end-of-campaign party, which the Popular Party had obstructed. It was touching to see everyone participating in such a symbolic act.

Matthews’, (EWN Sports Writer) list. In the first of his twopart exclusive on Lionel Messi, I was rather surprised that he did not have the good grace to give a mention to another great footballer, Sir Stanley Matthews. In his day, Sir Stanley was another great crowd puller and always ‘a gentleman’, both in and out of the game. As of many, in those years gone by, he played football for the honour and pleasure of being lucky enough to be selected, and for whatever small income the clubs could afford. Go on, Tony, be gallant in your second-part and apologise for the oversight. Raymond Hull, by email
Tony Matthews reply: I personally did not compare Messi with other greats; pundits on TV/radio, magazines and other newspapers did that. I compare Messi with my namesake, Sir Stan, Finney, Edwards, Bobby Charlton and Cruyff. If Messi had been playing in the 1908s, I do not think he would be the player he is today.
Hats off THANK YOU for the excellent write-up of our concert ( Costa Blanca North, Issue 1350). What it does not tell is of the stunning

I HAD my wallet lifted at Puerto Pollenca market recently. When I went to the police station, which is as big as Manchester City Hall, they did not want to know unless I had an interpreter. Seeing there appeared to be more police than we have troops in Afghanistan, no wonder Spain will probably be next for a bail-out. Arthur Arnold, Puerto Pollenca
Up in smoke REGARDING Mr Kennedy’s letter (Issue 1351) on the subject of smokers, he cannot have it both ways. He has been quite happy all winter for smokers to be banished to the outside terraces, but now that the sun is out he wants the terrace for himself. Sorry, chum, that is just tough. But, he does have the freedom of choice. There are bars whose owners ban smoking even on the terrace, so if he objects that much he should find one of them. Live and let live. Andrew Coates, Fuengirola Editor’s note: Andrew is just one of many readers who wrote in with similar sentiments.
Just a name! THE article ‘What’s in a name?’ (Issue 1351) was very readable. It also reminded me of how politically correct the world has become in recent years. Forty years ago, my sister married a man known since schooldays as Dick, a favoured short-form for many christened Richard. About five years ago – by now a pensioner – an instruction went out to all that he wanted everyone to call him Richard as his grandchildren had enquired why he had such a dirty name. Although Richard is now known as Richard by the majority, just occasionally a reference to Dick slips into conversation. Ooooops! R Major Aguilas

Obsessed with cookery shows IS it not ironic that when two thirds of the world is on the breadline, the West, particularly the Brits, are obsessed with cookery programmes? These days you simply can’t tune in to the box without eyeing a variety of individuals endeavouring to disguise some lump of flesh or another. Celebrities, glamorous gourmets, hairy Hells Angels, foulmouthed oafs... There is no escape. As the cook in my family (especially since the wife walked out) all I need in the kitchen are reasonably priced recipes, with plenty of nutrition that keep the interest of the kids, month in and
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT month out. I’m afraid Vietnamesestyle Prawns with Hearts of Palm and Green Tea Noodle Salad, doesn’t quite hack it. Another TV offering I have followed with some amusement over the past couple of years has been the ads for Qatar Airways, which sponsor Sky News. The correct pronunciation for Qatar rhymes with catarrh.
Obviously the hierarchy of Sky decided that to pronounce it in this way could be considered somewhat unsavoury. The results have been quite hilarious. It would be impossible to print the different pronunciations they have tried out over the years. I can’t resist one more moan. Why do we still grovel to the Americans? To me both the Obamas displayed a condescending attitude towards their British hosts last week. Michelle’s speech to the schoolchildren I found particularly patronising. When are the British going to realise that as far as the
Americans are concerned we are nothing more than a funny little quirky island, full of people forever grateful to them for saving us in the Second World War? Even that is a fallacy. The Americans finally joined in that war only when they realised that if Hitler was victorious in Europe they would be his next target. Meanwhile, if there are any selfsufficient, unattached ladies out there, interested in an aging unattached pop singer, I’m all ears. Have a good week. And, whatever ya do, always keep the faith.

Elderly targeted in global scam The ‘grandparent scam’ operates all over the world.
I WAS contacted by James, who asked me to tell his grandma’s story to stop others being taken in by a scam targeting grandparents around the world. James’ grandma is 75 years-old and lives alone. Generous and kindhearted, she dotes on her grandchildren and would do anything for them. That’s why when she received a phone call purporting to be from James, she was only too glad to help. The conversation went something like this: “Hi, grandma? I’m in a bit of trouble...” “Is that you, James? What’s happened?” “Yeah, it’s James. I’m on holiday in Spain with my mates and, well, things got a bit rowdy last night. I’ve been arrested and need some money to get out of jail. I can’t ring dad, he’ll kill me!” To cut a long story short, ‘James’ went on to explain that he needed £1,200 so his lawyer could get him out of jail while the British Consulate sorted things out. Grandma sent the money by wire transfer and called James’ lawyer to confirm the transaction number. She only realised that she’d been the latest victim of the ‘grandparent scam’ when
S cam detectives with Charles Conway Editor of scam awareness site
www.scam-detectives.co.uk
James popped round for a coffee only two hours after she got back from the bank. By that time, it was too late. The wire transfer had been collected and her money was gone. The police have been informed, but there’s little chance that the fraudster will ever be found. According to the wire transfer service, although grandma sent the money to a recipient claiming to be in Madrid, the money was actually collected in Lagos, Nigeria. So how did the scam work? Scammers target elderly people at random, hoping that they’ll strike it lucky. Without giving a name, they rely upon the victim to provide information which will help them to continue the deception. In this case, grandma asked: “Is that you, James?” which confirmed that she had a grandson and gave the scammer a name to work with. Then it was simply a
case of spinning a story convincing enough to persuade grandma to send cash. How can you avoid being ripped off? If you receive a phone call from anyone claiming to be a family member, ask them to confirm their name before you get involved in a conversation. The chances are, if they’re not genuine, they’ll terminate the call immediately. Even if they do give a name that means something to you, don’t assume that everything is as it should be. Take a telephone number to call them back on, then get in touch with other family members who can confirm (or otherwise) that the story is for real. You’ll soon find out if your grandchild is in trouble or not, and could save yourself a packet. Please, if you have elderly relatives or friends, give them a copy of this article and help them to stay safe from scammers.

Invasion of an unwanted feral cat family DEAR CONNIE, l read with interest your article on Tom Cats (Edition 1347). It brought a wry smile to my face, especially the part about some cats being scared to pee/poo in the garden, because my problem is the other side of the coin. Two feral cat families have adopted my garden as their own personal toilet. To add insult to injury they favour the ground adjacent to my areas and under my rotary clothes drier. ln the sunshine after it has rained the smell is very offensive. Also poo under foot is no joke. They walk past my expensive ‘cat scarers’ as if they do not exist. How do l dissuade them?
Facebook plans for under 13s FACEBOOK founder Mark Zuckerberg plans to push for children under age 13 to be allowed to use the site in the future. In the UK they are currently banned under a voluntary ‘good practice’ code, while in the US this is enforced by laws designed to protect young children. The 27-year-old billionaire creator believes that the restrictions should be lifted due to the ‘educational benefits’ of using the site. “Extensive safety and privacy controls are provided that are tailored to whether children or adults are using the site,” said Facebook.
Connie’s Pets Corner Yours sincerely, Philip Wilson
Dear Philip, Interesting that cat scarers do not work. The type that squirt a jet of water might be better. Get rid of the stink by heavy watering. Pick up poo. Use various proprietary products from garden centres after that. Fencing – details on www.fabcats.org. Check with your
local planning office before installing. Use a garden hose on them. Use it when they can see you and they will avoid coming into the garden when you are there. So, as well as doing it openly, do it covertly. Perhaps from a window or behind a bush! If all else fails, put their poo somewhere where they can go. Make them a latrine. Keep their

A love triangle with an elephant in the room
Weather today 19 - 13
BASED on Sara Gruen’s acclaimed bestseller, ‘Water for Elephants’ the film is the story of an unexpected romance in a uniquely compelling setting. During the Great Depression, Jacob, a penniless and recentlyorphaned veterinary school student, parlays his expertise with animals into a job with a secondrate travelling circus. He meets and falls in love with Marlena, one of the show’s star performers, but their romance is
FILMS complicated by Marlena’s husband, the charismatic but unbalanced circus boss. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top and come together through the compassion they feel for a special
Y our S tars
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) This is your week to sparkle and show how clever you are. Why be modest? Let others know what you are capable of; your talents will come out sooner or later. Don't be embarrassed when paid a compliment, for it is richly deserved. You have put on a jolly good show of late and it is now time to listen to the applause.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Something that you had set your heart on, although still coming, is terribly slow. This is not a time to be a pessimist. Please don't, however, allow your tendency to put all your eggs in one basket trip you up. It is not necessary to go about things the way that you normally do. Remember that variety is the spice of life. LEO (July 24 - August 23) You are moving on in an important area but do not burn bridges before you have others to cross. You will know why I mention this later in the week. You are able to influence others far more than you realise, but with your wish to keep things on an even keel you may be giving away too much. You need to keep a balance.
elephant named Rosie, the circus’s main attraction. In this film adaptation, not only does Jacob (Robert Pattinson) have little or none of the mystical connection he shares with Rosie in the novel, but also there is a lack of chemistry with Reese Witherspoon, who plays Marlena, which makes it very hard to believe that the two have found
an undying love despite everything they have against them. Luckily, Christoph Waltz, as Marlena’s husband, brings a little fire to the movie, but the production focuses more on the love triangle between the three characters than it does on portraying what life with a circus was like in that era, and the special connections which can be made between humans and animals.
Rafael Nadal,
Born June 3, 1986, Rafa Nadal is a Spanish tennis player. His took part in his first official competition when he was just nine years old and won. He later became the youngest player in history to win an ATP match at the age of 15. At 24 he became the youngest player to get the Career Golden Slam (four Grand Slam tournaments and n Olympic Gold medal).
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
Is there a chance that you are burying your head in the sand? It is likely that something happening right in front of you is being overlooked or ignored. You are able to deal with this more easily than you think. Just take one step at a time and stick to your plan. Simply telling someone what to do instead of asking them to do it can work wonders.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is not a time to take anyone for granted. At this time of the year people tend to look at their situation and ask if they are getting
enough out of it. Neglecting someone now could store up a lot of problems for the future. Avoid doing anything that could lead to you being blamed later.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Now is your chance to go straight for what you want. The shock of having this opportunity could cause you to hesitate. Do bear in mind, though, that he who hesitates is often lost. The temptation to keep something for yourself is not selfish but sensible. You may not have the chance again in the near future.
SU DOKU
IF ITʼS YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: There are few areas where you can go badly wrong for the rest of this year. Finance is one of them and it is important to keep tabs on your spending. The second is love.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) A big change means big chances, so don't let small things get you down. In the past six months you have come a long way. You are not back where you started. You are being given the chance to start again, but this time you have far more experience..
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Challenges that do not please you are inevitable. That does not mean that your attitude towards them could not change. Indeed, unless you want to continue to be upset, it must. Luckily, you have mostly had your own way recently. Try to be a good loser when you have to accept second best.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You have a chance to give someone great delight, so why not go ahead? Your insecure side tells you that it is too good to be true and there must be a catch. Why should there be? This is a situation that you may relax into as only you know how.
HOW TO PLAY Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3X3 box contains the digits 1-9. There’s no maths involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.
PISCES (Febraury 20 - March 20) Don't look for spooks in the closet when there are none. Not only does it look silly but it wastes good time. Basing your actions on past disappointments can only lead to more of the same. Show confidence in others and they will show it in you. Sometimes, your patience wears thin but it is in your best interests to remain calm.

Each number in the Code Breaker grid represents a different letter of the alphabet. In this week’s puzzle, 23 represents L and 18 represents X, so fill in L every time the figure 23 appears and X every time the figure 18 appears. Now using your knowledge of the English language work out which letters should go in the missing squares. As you discover the letters, fill in other squares with the same number in the main grid and the control grid.

Slipped disc: Tips to prevent and ease symptoms A DISC is the cushion between the bones in your spine, a cartilage pad with a jelly like centre. This disc has three main jobs: • To create a space between the bones of your spine. • Acts as a shock absorber from movement. • To allow movement of the spine; tilting, bending and twisting. Whilst technically a disc cannot ‘slip’ this is the term often used when the jelly centre of the disc is compromised and starts to affect the cartilage rings that surround it. At its most extreme, the jelly breaks through all the cartilage rings and ‘slips’ or leaks out. However, it is more common that the jelly becomes distorted rather then rupturing completely and applies pressure to the cartilage rings and to the nerves around it.
By Estelle Mitchell www.TheBodyworksClinic.com
Slipped or herniated discs are usually caused by sudden extreme changes in activity: for instance lifting heavy objects. Or they can be caused by prolonged and unbalanced pressure on the spine caused by poor posture. When such an event happens, back muscles lock up to try and prevent movement. It is quite common to feel pain into the legs as the disc becomes inflamed and applies pressure to the nerves (sciatic) that run through the spine and down the legs. Many people think that you become more vulnerable to slipped discs as you age; however, you are actually more prone to them when you are
younger as there is more jelly inside the cartilage ring. As we get older the disc becomes drier and flatter and we are more likely to lock up due to a loss of ‘bounce’ rather then damage to the jelly of the disc. What to do: REST: You need to lie still while the body adjusts. ICE: The disc and the muscles will become inflamed so apply an ice pack wrapped in a damp tea towel for up to 10 minutes every half-hour to reduce inflammation and help with the pain. If, after 48 hours you are still struggling, then you must seek professional help. If you are a regular sufferer of back pain there are things that can help. For example, Magnetic Resonance Therapy can help strengthen the jelly making it less likely to ‘slip’ under pressure. It hardens the cartilage allowing it
A ‘slipped’ disc can also cause sciatica. to do its shock absorbing job. Also, computerised prescriptive orthotics can help by preventing you ‘walking in’ or even developing a problem in the first place. These insoles have been described as ‘therapy in motion’. Also consider Pilates. Your back muscles are for movement not
stability, and by strengthening your core internal abdomen muscles, your back is under less strain and you run a lower risk of injury. If you have any questions, call Estelle Mitchell at The Bodyworks Health Clinic on 952 883 151. www.TheBodyworksClinic.com.

Win the war against gum disease A COMBINATION of new technologies provides secure weapons against gum disease. More than 80 per cent of adults suffer from an infection of the gums. If it is superficial, it is called gingivitis; however, if the pockets around the tooth are deeper than three to four millimetres, it is known as periodontitis. A mixture of sticky carbon hydrates, different kinds of bacteria and minerals fill the space around the tooth and grow like a ‘coral reef’ downwards, separating the tooth from the bone and leading to gingival recession. If this process is not interrupted, the tooth starts to get wobbly and will fall out. Until now, the treatment consisted of a mechanical removal of plaque and tartar, but scaling, root planning and scratching is not enough. The new solution is the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP), which can achieve a much better
result. Instead of only mechanically removing the germs (which is impossible), the laser kills the germs with its powerful light. It also pumps energy into the remaining surrounding bone cells, so that they start to regrow. For the first time, this procedure is able to reverse the destroying gum disease and is approved by the American FDA. This treatment needs to be applied in conjunction with full cleaning and root planning. The protocol is aptly named a ‘Full Mouth Disinfection’. Once the periodontal treatment is successfully accomplished, clients can uphold the result by using the PAROPROTECT-SYSTEM to maintain healthy gums. The patient is given specially-designed shields to wear for two to five hours a week. These shields protect the self-healing process of the gums and hold an anti-bacterial medication in place to make sure that it is not washed away by the saliva. The combination of treating and maintaining secures a rapid improvement of the patient’s oral health.

Modern life can cause memory loss MODERN-DAY living is putting our brains under too much pressure, experts believe. More than one in 10 people between the ages of 20 and 35 suffer severe memory problems, a study by Japan’s Hokkaido University of 150 people showed. A third of women less than age 30 cannot remember their own phone number or recall the birthdays of just three of their close relatives, another recent study revealed. The reliance on computer gadgets including electronic phone books, organisers and automatic car navigation systems to do one’s remembering for one, results in many memories never getting stored on the brain’s ‘internal hard drive’. Also, information overload means the brain simply cannot cope with trying to do so many things at once. The modern brain has to cope with as much information in a single day as women 100 years ago received in an entire week. On top of that, most people do not get enough sleep which is crucial for the brain to be able to digest and solidify information acquired throughout the day, studies have shown. One such study was conducted by the University of Haifa in Israel; participants learnt a new task with half then taking a 90-minute nap and the other half not. Those who had napped had significantly better recall.

Having the ‘memory of a goldfish’ the result of modern-day living. Multi-taskers were found to have the worst memory problems, according to a study at America’s Stanford University. Researchers are now studying chronic multi-taskers to see if they are born with an inability to concentrate or are damaging their cognitive control by willingly taking in so much at once. There are techniques that can help improve one’s memory: • Get between six and eight hours sleep each night
• Do not skip meals • Exercise daily as this encourages a chemical that boosts memory • Complete crosswords or sudoku puzzles to keep the brain active • When there is something that needs to be committed to memory, repeat it every few days until it is second nature • Use colourful visualization to remember things; this is a trick that was used as far back as Ancient Greece • Do one task at a time and avoid background distractions.

Cala Luna Restaurant HUNGARIAN cuisine is among the world’s very best. Hungary, being centrally located has adopted influences from many countries including France, Turkey, and Germany. The end result is a cuisine that is hearty, robust, and full of flavour. Andy and Christina’s Cala Luna Restaurant in Fuengirola does more than live up to a grand tradition of wonderful Hungarian cooking. The restaurant is off the Paseo Maritimo, in the attractive Plaza Pablo Picasso between the Hotels Las Piramides and El Puerto. On my recent visit I wanted to try some of the Hungarian specialty dishes and the first dish that came to mind was Goulash. As there are so many other
exciting dishes on the menu I decided to try a smaller portion of the homemade Hungarian Goulash as a first course, and chose chargrilled Pork made in Bakony style as a main course. The Goulash was perfect, slightly ‘picante’. Great food! The restaurant offers a number of daily specials and a two course and three course menu of the day which costs €9.95 and €11.95 respectively. The special dish for Thursdays is a homemade Thai Green Chicken curry with rice and not to be forgotten is the Sunday roast both of which can be taken as part of the menu of the day.

Be heroes against war in an army of construction “Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Be not dumb slaves in an army of destruction!”
By Mike Walsh www.michaelwalsh.es
the beleaguered Libyan leader. Is this the Englishman’s penchant for the notion of fair play? Can it be we feel sympathy for the underdog in an unfair fight, or sense that here we have a biblical David and Goliath duel? Perhaps it is rooted in the people’s cynicism of the official reasons for a conflict now spilling over into Europe. The refugee tsunami is revealed as the collateral damage of blinkered foreign policy and damnable colonialism dressed up as saving the natives. There is a dreadful sense of frustration: One can almost hear the peoples of NATO member states screaming at their parliaments: ‘Which part
of no do you not understand?’ The contemptible neo-socialist Tony Benn, on being reminded that his party should listen to the electorate, loftily declared that he couldn’t be expected to make policy using an ear trumpet. But these shameless, two-faced hypocrites expect Gaddafi to. There is only one way to handle these swaggering autocrats; remove their means of waging war on Third World countries. PETER FIELDMAN
THERE are several things about the Libyan conflict I find depressingly ironic. The Libyan leader is likely more popular in his country than Britain’s leader is in his. Under the electoral ‘first past the post’ rule Britain’s David Cameron failed; hence the coalition. Of those able to vote, 35 per cent declined to do so; they were likely cynical and thought their vote might only encourage them. Many of the 10.7 million people who ticked a Tory did so to keep Labour out. This is not much of a recommendation for democracy. It gets worse. Of those who did vote, twice as many - 19 million - placed their crosses with other parties so were denied the representation they wished for. If you can dress that up as democracy then you would be at ease with a Soviet state. In my opinion, Britain’s ruling elite is woefully out of touch with the electorate, and is deaf to the public mood. Not surprisingly there is much public debate about the Libyan conflict. It is difficult to find a newspaper reader supporting NATO’s war on Libya. Ironically it is easier to find correspondents, mostly with non-Arabic names, rooting for

The anti-capitalist demonstration in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol.
The Spanish Revolution By Peter Fieldman HOW far is the distance between revolution and capitalism? Last week it was little more than three kilometres. That is the distance that separated the anti-capitalist demonstration in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol central square and the city’s Palacio de los Deportes, sports arena, where the country’s right-wing party, the PP, were holding their final meeting before the May 22 elections. But they might as well have been on different planets. While the right-wing politicians received a rapturous welcome from their supporters, for two weeks thousands of young Spaniards have been camped in the city to voice their discontent over the financial crisis and economic policies that have left them
without either jobs or a future. It is the result of pent-up frustration and anger of the most educated generation in history faced with a system that denies them the opportunity to use their skills. Despite a large police presence and call to end the illegal sit-in from the Interior Minister, there has been no reported violence or vandalism making Spain’s revolt a far cry from the May 1968 student uprising in Paris, which led to a month-long series of strikes that paralysed France. Peter Fieldman is a writer who lives in Madrid. He is the author of the historical novel ‘1066 The Conquest’ published in the UK last year to coincide with the possibility of another King William on the throne 1,000 years on.
All the trappings of war - from bombers to personnel carriers, uniforms, shackles, shells and shrapnel, tanks, restraints and boots (on the ground) - are made by civilian workers. They should down tools and strike against war. Better to wash sheets in brothels. I know one Welsh firm that when invited to tender for the making of body bags put it to the workers’ vote. Despite the loss of income, the staff voted against making them on a point of principle. Well done! If they can do it so can others. Vote against MPs who invest or are shareholders in armsrelated concerns. Protest
against moonlighting civil servants who take up positions in companies that invest in war. They are dipping their fingers in human gore. American Helen Keller was an inspirational icon of the 20th century. Left blind and deaf from a childhood disease, she became a worldfamous author, speaker, civil libertarian and pacifist. Before the outbreak of the First World War, she made an impassioned speech. “Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! “Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder! “Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! “Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction!” Helen Keller had no choice about her disabilities, her blindness and her deafness. We do have the choice.

When the elements turn against you WHAT happens when God purses his lips to blow some wind and there’s nothing coming out of His mouth? Take yesterday, for example. Chugging along like a train we were, then, nowt. Nada. Zilch. From a healthy five to six knots to absolute zero in 90 seconds. Ah, then it’s time to deploy the ‘iron sail’. Yes, sir! When the elements don’t play ball, drop the outboard motor and head for port. We can’t predict a change in conditions but we can prepare for it. Maintaining an outboard should be as basic as it gets. Oil. Petrol. Spark plugs. Keep a spare bottle of oil on board. A small emergency fuel tank. A new replacement spark plug and that’s as prepared as it gets. When I took my RYA Day Skipper Course with Captain Richard Plaster in Torrevieja, it was de rigueur that we checked the engine thoroughly before setting sail. I personally run the outboard for a few minutes before casting off, listening for any rev changes, making sure she’ll be reliable if needed. However, if sailing doesn’t do it for you and you like the power boat

shape of things, then Richard Plaster has a course which you petrolheads may like to attend. There’s a new RYA Diesel Maintenace Course. He’s just been cleared to provide the necessary tuition, in collaboration with a marine engineering firm in Torry. Captain Plaster explained: “They provide all training and myself the certification. Originally this was meant to be for young people, like schoolleaving age, but we’ve been getting interest from boat owners, too, which obviously makes sense.”
He added: “Anyway, the workshop created for these courses is fully kitted out with V8 engines and all sorts. “The Spanish equivalent to this course is a strictly ‘hands-off’ job and extremely lengthy, whereas our students will be getting stuck in. It means there are no other training courses like this in the area, and therefore a great opportunity and introduction to marine engineering for some school-leavers.” If you’re interested in doing something along these lines, you should email him enquiries@ serenitysailing.com or call 638 056 224. I’m getting loads of emails regarding putting together a little event for all of us to meet up and do some sailing. There is more than enough interest for me to do this, possibly in August. Thank you for all the support. I’ll be asking around, trying to sort out logistics of venue and boats and such like over the next couple of months. Tight sails and I’ll see you next week.

www.euroweeklynews.com IT is now a good time to invest in property in Spain, especially the Costa del Sol. These were the words of Spanish Housing Minister Beatriz Corredor this week during a promotional visit to Frankfurt (Germany) aimed at boosting holiday homes sales to foreigners. Corredor revealed property prices have dropped 20 per cent in the main tourist resorts in Spain in the past three years. During this period property prices in Malaga have decreased by 22.2 per cent and 40 per cent in Marbella, she said. Jose Prado, the president of the Builders and Promoters Association of Malaga (ACP) disagrees. “I am not aware of anyone reducing their prices by 40 per cent. As a general rule a promoter cannot reduce the price more than 30 per cent, the price of the mortgage,” he told a Spanish daily. However, he says that if banks are offering discounts of 34-40 per cent to offload stocks, “that is another matter” he said.
Prices of luxury properties in Marbella have seen smaller drops in value, expert says.
A good time to invest in Marbella, says minister Meanwhile, the President of the Association of Residential and Sports Tourism of AndaluciaPromotur, Ramon Davila warned one has to differentiate between the different areas and types of property in Marbella. Davila believes the biggest price drops are in
EWN 73
the medium-low price brackets, especially those located near the motorway and in the periphery of the city. “It isn’t that these homes are being sold 40 per cent cheaper, it is that in many cases, they are being sold at the price of the mortgage,” he said.
Nevertheless, he accepts the average price drop for other properties is around the 20 per cent mark. Yet luxury properties appear to have held their market values compared to the rest, with drops of between 5 per cent and 10 per cent, he said.
Ikea auctions tables for Unicef IKEA and UNICEF are carrying out a charity auction of tables decorated by some of Spain’s celebrities. The tables, decorated to celebrate Ikea’s 15th anniversary in Spain and UNICEF’s 50th, will be on show at Ikea stores until June 12, on the website www.ikea.es or the company’s Facebook page. They will be on auction on www.ebay.es from June 6. They have been decorated by figures from design, sports, art and culture such as Ferran Adria, Raquel de Rosario, Andreu Buenafuente, Eva Hache, Ana
Many famous names have decorated the Ikea tables. Duato, Amaia Montero, David Bisbal, Sergio Ramos, Javier Camara, Victor Ullate, Patricia Conde, David Civera or children’s cartoon character, Pocoyo. The money from the auction will go the UNICEF’s ‘Schools for Africa’ programme.

NE of the villages on the Route of Oil and Mountains is Alfarnate which can be found in the far northwest of the Axarquia at a height of 925 metres. Although as villages go it’s almost completely flat it’s surrounded by the rugged mountains of Jobo, Palomera and Enmedio which tower majestically above the green valley filled with olive and cherry trees. Dominating the landscape are craggy grey rocks dotted with scattered trees perilously clinging between mosses and ferns. Mighty oaks and pines vie for attention below

the hills of Puerto de los Alhazores and Puerto del Sol, natural steps that connect this area with its surroundings. Overlooked by the Cerro del Santo Cristo Mountain, where outdoor mass is sometimes held at the sanctuary on top, the village is unique in its layout with three bridges straddling the Palancar stream. On one side is the Ermita de la Virgen de Monsalud, located in the upper quarter. A 16th century building with three arches mimicking the bridges and on the other side the Iglesia de Santa Ana, a 16th century building with a graceful Mudejar tower and oak beams supporting its natural wood ceiling. The Ayuntamiento was also built in the 16th century with its ubiquitous three arches dominating its facade.
Luis Candelas. Before leaving the area be sure to stop for a repast at La Antigua Venta de Alfarnate, a fully restored, 17th century inn, steeped in history, situated at the cross roads two kilometres from the village. As you are led behind the bar to be seated in the restaurant you can take a photo of the famous bandolero

Insurance costs can be lowered
WENDY CODD from EU Insurance Direct has been in Spain for almost six years and has seen some changes since her time here. Premiums for car insurance are just one. Six years ago a 4x4 family vehicle would have easily cost around €700 to insure fully comprehensive, yet today companies have reduced their prices and the same policy in 2011
can be bought for around €450 or less. Companies who increase their prices annually are losing business when there are other companies around offering excellent value policies for less. Some great incentives, too! For example, a €30 El Corte Ingles voucher is offered for home insurance costing a minimum of €200; cover is
extensive and covers all risks outside the home. Car insurance costing €300 or more for fully comprehensive cover qualifies for a €30 fuel voucher. Policies include protected no claims at no extra cost. (Limited period. Offers available only from a certain insurer.) Medical insurance is also something that EU Insurance deals with on a

Guests should take out travel insurance HOSTING friends and family from overseas can cause stress, but more serious problems are avoidable if residents remind guests to make simple travel preparations. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has called on expats to urge visitors to take out comprehensive travel insurance before they come to stay. A survey commissioned by the FCO shows that a third of people failed to take out travel insurance
the last time they stayed with family and friends overseas. More than three quarters of those visiting friends and family this year said that saving money is a key factor in their decision. However, a lack of comprehensive travel insurance cover is a false economy and guests could face financial difficulty if they need medical treatment or lose valuable possessions. Over a third of British guests have relied on

their hosts when things have gone wrong. Expats have faced a range of problems from taking guests to hospital to providing financial help. British Consul to Andalucía Steve Jones said: “When friends or family visit, it’s natural for them to feel at ease and not prepare in the same way as they would for other holidays. But things can become stressful if your guests end up in a tricky situation and lack travel insurance. Remind them when they are booking flights not to forget to take out insurance. “Should things go wrong, both you and they will find travel insurance makes problems much easier to deal with” Visit www.fco.gov.uk/travel or the ‘UKinSpain’ website for more information.
expatriates is the Mobile Doctor Service, especially interesting for those not part of the social security system. A new concept in emergency 24 hour service is DOMUS PLUS, (available only on the Costa del Sol). One call wherever you are, whether it be in the office, at home, in the supermarket or on the beach, and trained medical staff will come to your aid. Fees can be paid monthly, quarterly, half yearly or annually and are the most competitive on the coast. No pre-existing condition worries and no age limit. The service can also be used for visitors to Spain who only want to pay for one month or a few months per year, from as little as €29 per month. Even though the cost of living has increased over the last six years and everyone has a smaller budget, if you speak to EU Insurance Direct, they may find you a lower quote than what you have paid for years.

For best rates in motor insurance call: 952 89 33 80 WHAT justification can there be to continue driving an illegal UK registered car in Spain? How about the lack of money to put it through the re-registration process, or perhaps a lack of time? But it is obvious that many have an ‘I just don’t care’ attitude, or ‘I will do it next week’, way of thinking. In your opinion, does anything justify driving an illegal car? If your MOT expires while you are in Spain, your car becomes illegal to use, just as it would do in the UK.
No justification Car Import in Spain With Paul Ripley Tel. 687 47 11 39 weregisteranycar@gmail.com
If you run out of road tax, this is another legal requirement, even when you are using your car here in Spain. Do not tell me that you have ‘justified’ not having an MOT or road tax because you have
declared your car is on a SORN document with the DVLA in the UK. This document is a ‘sworn statement’ to the DVLA that your car will be kept ‘off-road’. It also applies to driving the car ‘anywhere’ not just in the UK. If the car is kept ‘offroad’ then there is no need for an MOT or road tax. But if you get stopped by the police without having the legal
requirements to drive here (just as in the UK) then you can expect a severe kick-back from them, such as impounding your car on the spot. If you spend more than 183 days here then you are termed as a resident and that means you have just 30 days to get your car reregistered onto Spanish plates. It’s your call but the police may just make up your mind for you.

Chasing Armstrong’s Tour de France record: Alberto Contador.

Donald No 1 BRITISH golfer Luke Donald has overtaken his fellow countryman and Ryder Cup team-mate Lee Westwood to become the world’s number one golfer. The American based 33-year-old won at the first play-off hole to win
the PGA Championship at Wentworth, climbing one spot to the top of the rankings. Shooting a final round of 70 to Westwood’s 68 to tie on six under, Westwood then found the water in front of the 18th green handing Donald the win. Donald said afterwards: “It’s something I’ll be very proud of. Obviously, there’s a lot of work still to do and hopefully there’ll be much more to come, but I’ll savour this.”
second time last weekend, finishing six minutes and 10 seconds ahead of Italian rider Michele Scarponi. Holding the leader’s jersey for 13 days of this year’s tour, Contador bagged two stage wins on his way to victory. The first was on the ninth stage on the slopes of Mount Etna. From that point on he took charge of the race. He celebrated Sunday’s win in traditional style by beating his chest and firing a pistol shot into the air as he crossed the line. “It is an amazing feeling to win the Giro here today and it is a dream finale,” the Madrid-born rider said. “My team was really supportive throughout and we didn’t really have a bad day,” he added.
