Dutch
economy eyes consequences of hectic elections
With the annual growth figure for the Dutch economy presently at 2,6% Holland is still looking for conclusions and consequences after the surprising outcome of the elections in November. With the sitting political parties having underlined again and again that the economy and boost is largely due to the followed policies over the past 4 years, the left wing parties, all loosing ground apart from one, tried to counter with weak arguments. The most surprising outcome is the substantial loss of the Labour party, the win of the Socialist party and the right-winged newcomer Wilder Group gaining 9 seats, coming from 0. Holland is facing long discussions on a future coalition. Fenex Conditions For many years Fenex conditions apply when working with Vulcaanhaven. A copy in your language  (NL/EN/FR/DE) can

they are aware of the
consequences of these conditions when dealing with all major warehouses
and forwarding companies in Rotterdam, such as Vulcaanhaven. We refer
to these conditions on all our invoices and correspondence.For further info please contact hansm@vulcaanhaven.nl The Port of Rotterdam is doing very well. Authorities announced that the first nine months showed an increase of 1 ˝ % in comparison with the same period in 2005. Overall 281 million tons were handled. Bio fuel and fruit juices were largely responsible for the growth. Seeds and grain decreased by 15%. The container handlings increased once again after a slow spring period to a record amount in September only of 840.000 containers. |

| Joke of the
month – Kevin's experience... Kevin walked into a sportsbar around 9:58
PM. He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV.
The 10:00 news was on and one of the items was a story of a man on a
ledge of a large building preparing to
jump. The blonde looked at Kevin and said, "do you think he'll jump?"
Kevin says, "Yes, I bet he'll jump" The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't" Kevin placed $20 on the bar and said, "You’re on!" Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive of the building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset and handed her $20 to Kevin, saying, "Fair is fair. Here's your money." Kevin replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5:00 o'clock news and knew he would jump" The blonde said, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again." Kevin took the money... |

 Sparta
Rotterdam leaves the bottom of the league!With victories over ADO The Hague, Willem II, NEC Nijmegen and a huge surprise win over Ajax Amsterdam (3-0!) Sparta has left the bottom of the league and in touch with teams above them. With creative, attacking soccer and technically skilled players, Sparta remains great fun to watch at any time, always playing to score a goal. The Stadium "Kasteel" can handle 10500 spectators and with an average each home game of 9000, Sparta enjoys the sympathy of the area. Rightfully so. Great atmosphere, no escalations. A stadium you and your kids can go to without any problem. That alone is an achievement these days... So check www.sparta-rotterdam.nl |
