De uitgebreide patch notes laten zien dat de update een enorme hoeveelheid fixes met zich mee heeft gebracht.
Ontwikkelaar Romero Games laat het er echter niet bij zitten, want de studio heeft update 1.04 voor Empire of Sin uitgebracht. De uitwerking van Empire of Sin liet helaas veel te wensen over, met een teleurstellende score als gevolg. Hoewel de setting van de game zich uitstekend leent voor een mooi avontuur, gaven we in onze review aan dat die potentie alles behalve goed benut werd. “There are thousands of mailbox companies here in the Netherlands and some of their businesses are pretty shady anyway,” he said.Ī hint of the scale of the capital flows generated by such companies comes from the foreign direct investment figures published by the Central Bank of Russia (CBR).įlows to and from the Netherlands are among the most volatile, and in some years orders of magnitude larger than flows to much larger economies like France or the United States.Eind vorig jaar kwam de strategiegame Empire of Sin uit. “If Russia’s complicity or responsibility is proven beyond doubt, every measure, whether economic, trade-related, personal or related to the delivery of weapons should be considered,” said Sjoerd Sjoerdsma, foreign affairs spokesman for the liberal D66 party, which according to polls would win an election today.īram van Ojik, parliamentary leader of the Green party, said the government should make a priority of targeting “mailbox companies” - postal addresses with no permanent employees acting as a front for a much larger business located abroad. Others say it would be wise to wait with sanctions until the bodies of victims are safely returned and investigations are out of the way. Several plan to raise the issue in a parliamentary committee meeting on Friday. Lawmakers are taking an increasingly hard line, with several opposition politicians saying targeting Russian offshore companies should be a priority of Dutch policy. “There will be a push to look at this… (but) people (will also be) thinking about the business implications - they may lose jobs if Russian investment pulls out,” the source said.ĭutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has said all options “whether political, economic or financial” are on the table. “I would expect there are very significant investments going through the Netherlands,” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. One Moscow-based financial source said the Netherlands was popular for structuring Russian offshore investments. “Nobody, absolutely nobody gets the better of us,” Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday, shortly before the first bodies from the crash arrived back in the Netherlands. Once the world’s greatest maritime power at the center of a 17th century trading empire that spanned the globe, the Netherlands may be minded to turn its back on centuries of tradition and put politics before trade. “The trade in mineral fuels is very important in the trade relationship between the Netherlands and Russia and that dominates,” said Marjolijn Jaarsma of the national statistics agency Statistics Netherlands. Much of it was re-exported, either raw or after refining or processing - Rotterdam is the entry point for a big slice of imports to Germany, Europe’s largest economy. Rotterdam, the world’s fourth largest port, is a major distribution hub for fossil fuels and minerals and was the single largest destination for Russian exports in 2013, importing $70 billion of goods excluding gas, according to the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation.Ĭrude oil accounted for $22 billion of the total, followed by coal and metal ores. The country is also one of Russia’s largest trade partners.
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The seafaring Netherlands prides itself on being a trading nation, reluctant to let politics get in the way of a good deal.īut since the downing, allegedly by Moscow-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine, of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 with the loss of 193 Dutch lives, a growing Dutch chorus has called for the country to use its trade power to hit Russia in the wallet.ĭozens of Russian firms have chosen to incorporate in the Netherlands to save money on tax, taking advantage of an extensive network of double taxation treaties.
