Bayerns Ministerpräsident Horst Seehofer hat die entschiedene Ablehnung einer baldigen Steuersenkung durch Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel scharf kritisiert. Eine Steuersenkung sei laut Seehofer überfällig. Die CSU will noch vor der nächsten Bundestagswahl für Steuererleichterungen sorgen.

Dominique Perrault, the Parisian architect of the newly reconstructed European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, thinks the answer is gold. Why gold? "Because this is not a criminal court," he says. "It's not a place concerned with prisons and punishments. It's do with relations between European countries, with constitutional concerns. And anyway, I thought the sky over Luxembourg is often so sad that it would be nice, somehow, to catch the sun and bring it here." He's right: when the low, late November sun catches the base of the court's brand new twin towers, they light up like a pair of giant candles. /ppThe European Court of Justice, founded in 1952, is the highest court in the union, with a judge appointed from each member country. Located on top of the Kirchberg plateau, separated from Luxembourg City by a deep ravine, the court was until recently a rather soulless place. Perrault has succeeded in introducing an unexpected playfulness. "I like those cities you find in Spain, Austria or Bavaria," he says, "which have patches of wonderful and unexpected colour - where buildings have been designed to bring some nice architectural weather when conditions are grey." /ppThe Kirchberg plateau forms a sort of latter-day bureaucratic Acropolis. Since the founding of the European Union, this place has been studded with a large number of imposing, if not exactly delightful, EU buildings. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was one of the six founding members of the European Community, and as the EU has expanded, the need for new architecture here has grown. Today, mighty institutions such as the European Investment Bank, housed in a purpose-built 1980s fortress designed by Denys Lasdun (the architect behind the National Theatre), stand next to a new generation of cultural buildings, among them the recently completed Philharmonie concert hall by French architect Christian de Portzamparc, and the new museum of modern art by IM Pei, the Chinese-American architect behind the glass pyramid at the Louvre. This all seems well done, although somewhat worthy and antiseptic./ppAs for the Court of Justice, this had to expand when it was announced that EU membership would increase to 27 countries. Perrault was commissioned to wrap a new building around the existing complex. His brief was not simply to enlarge the court, but to ensure that every one of its 2,000 staff, formerly spread across a huge campus, was housed under one roof. He and his collaborators have doubled the amount of space - and yet the building does not appear twice the size. It feels generous, easy to use, and well crafted - which, given that it cost you, me and everyone else in the EU more than euro;500m, is as it should be. /ppBehind those two pencil-thin gold towers lies a kind of shimmering palace. This is the grand new public plaza, between the towers and the main building, and its interiors are some of the most extraordinary yet created for the EU./ppFrom the main entrance into the building, a ramp leads down to the central court. A dramatic room by any standards, this handsome timber-lined chamber boasts a ceiling straight out of One Thousand and One Nights. Above a great glass screen, a giant gold flower appears to blossom out over the judges' benches and the public viewing gallery. This is in fact a woven steel veil, which floats over the court like an improbably glamorous mosquito net over the bed of a fairytale princess. Well, that's what I saw, anyway. Perrault describes this ceiling as "like a shining Medusa". Perhaps the judges who meet here will make the final ruling on what it is meant to signify./pp"I wanted to create a warm ambience," explains Perrault, "not a confrontational one. I wanted to grab the sun and bring it inside the court. The judges wanted some daylight, but not views out because this might distract them from their deliberations. So I thought of this golden veil, where the light can come in, [where it can be] warm even on a cold day. Then I made the floors and walls in warm wood, and the carpets in purple."/ppThe smaller courtrooms, while less dramatic than the main chamber, are also timber-lined and warmly finished. These are encircled by a new two-storey corridor or internal street of crisp, modern spaces - lobbies, cafes, libraries, judges' chambers. Daylight filters through the building, while the artificial light is playful and imaginative. /ppThe overall impression is of an earnest giant who, despite himself, wants to dress up and play. While Perrault has decked his building in colour and plays of shimmering light, the structure of the remodelled court is logical and perfectly serious. In a way, it reminds me of Barry and Pugin's Palace of Westminster: a mighty parliamentary building for what was once the hub of an empire, garbed in stunning fancy dress, and all the better for it. /ppOutside, the twin 100-metre-high towers are reminiscent of Oscar Niemeyer's National Congress Building in Brasilia. In cityscape terms, they have been designed with the same end in mind - as eyecatchers, architectural focal points to be seen from afar. Perrault's towers will be home to some 600 legal writers from across the EU, whose job it is to ensure that European laws are understood in more than 20 languages. That there are a lot of EU laws is evident in the sheer scale of the towers. /ppDominique Perrault's Court of Justice is a highly unexpected one - though you could argue that we should expect nothing less. Born in Clermont-Ferrand and based in Paris since 1981, the architect made his name with the vast and hugely controversial Bibliothegrave;que Nationale de France, one of President Mitterand's "grands travaux". Rising from what was an industrial wasteland in the 13th arrondissement on the south bank of the Seine, this giant library, known as "la TGB" (Tregrave;s Grande Bibliothegrave;que), is composed of four giant glass towers shaped in the guise of open books set about a plinth. Books are stacked in these towers, while readers gaze out into a sunken garden, planted with evergreen trees. /ppStacking books in glass towers was, to many minds, an odd and even contrary thing to do. Soon after the building opened, wooden screens were placed inside the tower windows to keep the sun at bay. Exotic woods lining the reading rooms were a further source of controversy. Had they come from a sustainable source? What did their use say about a nominally post-imperial France? Despite these concerns, the building remains deeply impressive. Perrault has the knack of somehow combining the role and skills of an architect with those of an art director. His up-and-coming Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, women's university in Seoul and San Pellegrino thermal baths near Bergamo all promise to be cinematic buildings of great daring and adventure. (The latter will look something like a fall oftumbled boulders, seen through a glacier at the foot of a real mountain.)/ppPerrault's designs can be wildly imaginative, and they can be abstractly minimal. He treads his own bold path. With the EU Court of Justice, he has shown us how a rational, highly organised and seemingly matter-of-fact building can be dazzling, even romantic. The law has never looked quite so colourful./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/architecture"Architecture/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/eu"European Union/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/byFTd24JRU4K-V9EvtRELhOjARY/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/byFTd24JRU4K-V9EvtRELhOjARY/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

If they hoped that muddy boots and woolly hats allowed them to pass as builders doing a hard day's work, however, they were wrong. /ppThese were the first convicted UK criminals forced to wear controversial "vests of shame" - bright orange bibs designed as public reminders that offenders cleaning graffiti or laying pavements are being punished and not paid./ppEvery labourer helping to lay a new patio at Slough's West Wing arts centre, the community service programme chosen to launch the scheme, was wearing a fluorescent orange vest emblazoned with the words Community Payback. /pp"They're not medieval. It's not to do with the stocks. It's not to do with shaming," said the justice secretary, Jack Straw. "The shame the offender feels is the shame and humiliation of having committed the offence and then going to court and having a criminal record. What this is about is enabling the public to see that justice is being done. The more we can get across to the public that community punishments are effective and tough, the fewer people the courts will find it essential to send to prison," he said. They had ordered 10,000 vests at a cost of pound;22,000, he said, after research revealed that the public believes offenders should be identified./ppA Ministry of Justice press officer asked one offender, a reluctant-looking postal worker, to talk to reporters. "They're not going to name you or anything," she said. "They won't show your face." /ppThe 36-year-old explained he was completing 80 hours of unpaid work for refusing to give a breath sample to police after running through a red light. He had also been given a three-year driving ban. /ppAs for the jacket, he said: "Without a uniform, people can't identify who you are. I'm very comfortable. It's better than going to prison." Nearby, fellow offenders giggled at his apparent humiliation. /pp"It basically says: that person's a criminal," said one, shaking his head. "It's not enough to do the work. I've got to show everyone why I'm doing it. It's not something I want my kids to see."/ppHarry Fletcher, assistant general secretary of the probation officers' union Napa, said: "There have already been a number of attacks. The use of high-visibility vests seems certain to increase the risk." /ppRisk of vigilante attack was low at yesterday's launch, however, in an enclosed yard away from public view. "I'm not embarrassed," said another offender.

Now that Lord Conrad Black (former Daily Telegraph proprietor) is in prison, he has come to the conclusion that the US justice and prison systems (and the "war on drugs") are flawed. The system is based on the plea bargain: the barefaced exchange of incriminating testimony for immunity or a reduced sentence. It is intimidation and suborned or extorted perjury, an outright rape of any plausible definition of justice. The US is now a carceral state that imprisons eight to 12 times more people (2.5m) per capita than the UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany or Japan. US justice has become a command economy based on the avarice of private prison companies, a gigantic prison service industry and politically influential correctional officers’ unions that agitate for an unlimited increase in the number of prosecutions and the length of sentences. The entire “war on drugs”, by contrast, is a classic illustration of supply-side economics: a trillion taxpayers’ dollars squandered and 1m small fry imprisoned at a cost of $50 billion a year; as supply of and demand for illegal drugs have increased, prices have fallen and product quality has improved. From my cell I scent the reeking soul of US justice...br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=92ef21067bda5b790c52da047a686fd0p=1"img alt="" style="border: 0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=92ef21067bda5b790c52da047a686fd0p=1"//a img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=92ef21067bda5b790c52da047a686fd0" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/

It said no retail customer-facing staff in branches or call centres would be affected. /ppCredit Suisse, the Swiss investment bank, added to the gloom when it announced that it was cutting 650 UK jobs. It has offices in London, Birmingham and Manchester. /ppMeanwhile, Halfords became the latest retailer to suffer from the slowdown on the high street, saying it would cut about 200 posts across its network of more than 450 stores, along with 50 more at its head office in Redditch, Worcestershire. /ppAnd luxury sports car maker Aston Martin said it was planning to axe 600 full-time and temporary jobs because of the downturn in the world economy. The jobs will hit the company's factory at Gaydon in Warwickshire and follows a fall in sales. The Unite union said it was "devastating news" for the workers, especially so close to Christmas. /ppThe latest monthly snapshot of the manufacturing sector from the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply showed the worst activity reading since records were first kept in 1992 and a record low in employment intentions, showing firms are laying off workers in droves. The so-called purchasing managers' index — a broad measure of activity, orders and employment in the sector — plunged to 34.4 last month, much lower than expected and way below the 50 level that divides expansion from contraction./pp"The scale of the downturn in the UK manufacturing PMI during November is unprecedented," said Rob Dobson, economist at Markit, which compiles the survey./ppThe survey's employment indicator fell at a record pace, spelling further job cuts ahead. Unemployment has been rising all year but the pace of increase has been accelerating and experts expect it to reach two million by Christmas, up from 1.8 million now./ppThere was also a string of bad figures on manufacturing around the world with the eurozone, US and China all showing output on the downturn. The euro zone manufacturing PMI tumbled to a record 35.6, while the Institute of Supply Management in the United States reported its PMI for manufacturing fell to 36.2, the lowest since 1982. /pp"The November US ISM manufacturing survey has continued today's run of awful purchasing managers' index data from around the world," said James Knightley, economist at ING financial markets./ppCompounding the gloom, the respected National Bureau of Economic Research, a group of economists based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said "the decline in economic activity in 2008 met the standard for a recession"./ppThere was also grim news from China as figures showed its industrial output had slumped because of the world economic downturn, putting paid to the notion that the nation would "decouple" from the world economy and pull ahead by itself./ppThe United Nations said the world economy faced its biggest downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. In its Global Outlook report, the UN lowered its forecast for worldwide growth to 1% for 2009, from 2.5% this year and way below the 4%-5% enjoyed for much of this decade. It warned the world economy could contract if economic stimulus packages were not implemented by governments immediately./pp"Most developed economies entered into recession during the second half of 2008, and the economic slowdown has spread to developing countries and the economies in transition," it said./ppThe 13 member eurozone has fallen into recession — defined as two quarters of contraction — and Britain is almost certainly in one too, its economy having contracted by 0.5% in the third quarter of the year, a number that is likely to double in the fourth quarter according to economists./ppManufacturing bodies over the weekend appealed to the Bank of England's monetary policy committee to make another big interest rate cut at its meeting this week, supplementing the 1.5 percentage point reduction it made last month./ppEconomists said yesterday's figures, including another awful showing for mortgage lending, made a cut in the Bank's key base rate to 2% more likely./ppGeorge Buckley, economist at Deutsche Bank in London, said: "On account of the PMI we have revised our view for this week's decision. We now see a 100bps cut from the MPC on Thursday, taking bank rate down to 2%. As a result, it seems very likely that interest rates will fall below the trough of 1.5% we currently expect."/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/manufacturing"Manufacturing sector/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/creditcrunch"Credit crunch/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/recession"Recession/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/globaleconomy"Global economy/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/fv3iS4CMM9QWrIelvyBAXVBGhD8/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/fv3iS4CMM9QWrIelvyBAXVBGhD8/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

While it's nice for America's automakers to have access to a talent-pool of available workers, it's also a major financial drain on an industry that's already reeling from a distinct lack of profits. And with new cutbacks and layoffs being announced almost daily, these "job banks" are increasingly tough to justify, a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/16/uaw-head-says-that-unions-arent-to-blame-for-detroits-problems/"even for the UAW/a. It's always been a bit of a competitive disadvantage, at least on paper, as non-UAW competitors like Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai do not keep such job banks. To ease Detroit's transition from bloated, money-losing corporations to lean "right-sized" competitors, UAW Prez. Ron Gettelfinger has brought up the job banks and their possible elimination. Will this be a part of the overall a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/20/aw-snap-congressional-democrats-undercut-compromise-bailout-bil/"plan to become competitive/a that the Detroit 3 bring to Congress?

Vertreter der Europäischen Union haben bei den Klimaschutzauflagen für Neuwagen einen Kompromiss gefunden. Der gewährt CO2-Monstern eine längere Galgenfrist. Ursprünglich sollten schon 2012 alle Neuwagen die Grenze von 130 Gramm CO2 nicht überschreiten. Das war vor allem für deutsche Autobauer ein Problem.

Critics of coal claimed this requirement would end government plans for up to eight new coal plants./ppIn its first report on how the UK could meet its pledge to cut carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by 80% from 1990 levels by 2050, the eight-person committee recommended an interim target for 2020 of 34%, or 42% if there is a global deal to cut emissions. /ppThese reductions, which go further than existing UK commitments but are in line with what the UK would have to do under proposed European Union laws, equate to cuts from recent levels of 21% or 31% respectively - or from 11.6 tonnes per person to 7-8 tonnes on average. /ppThe committee also proposed shorter term targets. In the five years to 2012, the committee said average annual UK emissions should equate to 604 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, down from 695mt in 2006./ppBuying emissions cuts from schemes outside the EU should only be allowed if the higher target is adopted, added the committee./ppThe targeted reductions would make sure the UK makes a "fair contribution" towards keeping global temperature rises as close as possible to 2C, it said./ppThe report, Building a Low-Carbon Economy - The UK's Contribution to Tackling Climate Change, estimated the changes would cost less than 1% of the national economic wealth in 2020, or less than £15bn. That figure included the bill for helping up to 1.7m people who would otherwise be pushed into fuel poverty by higher energy bills ./ppThe cost, equivalent to reducing growth by 2020 from 30% to 29%, was "a price worth paying", said the report. /pp"Climate change poses a grave threat to human welfare, the environment and the economy," said Lord Turner, the committee chairman. "We need to act now, in the UK and as part of a global agreement, to significantly reduce our emissions."/ppThe report was broadly approved by environmental groups but there were widespread concerns about whether the government would enact the tough policies the committee said were needed to deliver the emissions cuts, such as regulation to limit emissions from power plants and cars, and financial incentives to encourage higher take up of more efficient goods./pp"Emissions reductions of more than 1% a year have only ever been achieved in significant economic recession, and [the committee's] proposing 2.5% a year so this requires a pretty radical framework," said Stephen Hale, director of the Green Alliance of environmental campaign groups. /pp"I think they [the government] will accept the budgets, but I'm not so confident they'll back that up with the policies needed to make sure we meet the budgets."/ppThe main political parties also welcomed the report, although neither the government nor the Conservatives explicitly accepted the recommendations. Ministers will respond next year. /ppTim Yeo, Conservative chairman of the MPs' Environmental Audit Committee said: "I urge both the government and the opposition to accept the committee's recommendations. Only a bipartisan approach can ensure that Britain achieves these important goals."/ppFriends of the Earth also urged the government to adopt the higher target for 2020, even if no international emissions deal was agreed at the UN conference in Copenhagen next year [2009]. "It's a small price for us to pay as there are quite a lot of economic opportunities if we move really fast," said Ed Matthew, the group's head of UK climate./ppCritics of coal were divided over whether the suggested tough new rules to ensure all coal power was fitted with equipment to trap
