In practice, all EU countries have the dual criminality requirement in their legislation, like the one you mention for Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_criminality

The defence can still challenge the reliability of the testimony based on the time passed.

That's the reason the prosecutor cites. The evidence has been weakened by the time factor - Nine years have passed. Time plays a role here. The oral evidence has been weakened because such a long time has passed. Memories weaken becau

I suppose you can ignore the letters, if having your bank account suspended for some weeks doesn't cause major business risks to you. The downside with box ticking exercises is that eventually, someone may calculate the ticks, and his&

But that may still be the easiest of ways required by the financial authority - which comes up with its own rules, the EU rules only being the minimum of what regulators in each country must implement. Often regulators want to be stricter,

They may see who is the sender of transfer, but that in itself is not a sufficient explanation for where the funds actually come and whether they are legitimate. Series of transfers are a basic step in money laundering processes, so from th

The regulation is rather new, and at least Scandinavian banks seem to be hyper sensitive to be on the safe side from the money laundering risk point of view. In part this is due to the allegations and campaigns against Nordea and the actual

Depends on what your "salary" is. In the EU, the banks are obligated to find out where you get your money. And they have an obligation to close your account if they don't get satisfactory answers. "Know your customer&quo

Yes, that makes sense. It's a bit of a shame that there's no Google Street View in much of Germany.

Yes of course - but surely isn't putting pressure on the hippiest areas of Berlin where some people riot to oppose gentrification.

No, it's not mainly a software problem. As is common in big delays, there are multiple issues, but a fairly big contributor was political arrogance that wanted to brush away fire regulations. That didn't work.

What consequences do you mean? I could imagine that the factory staff would often live closer to the site, in Brandenburg, not in Berlin which has housing problems and is accumulating more of them through rent regulation.

Headline should be corrected: the site is near Berlin, but not in Berlin. Reported site is Grünheide, some 40 km drive from Brandenburger Tor, and a bit shorter distance from the under-construction BER airport. https://www.berlin

I don't really know, but I would expect that the different quality classes are marketed as such with slightly different product codes, and the buyer needs to be aware what he's procuring. And that you know what category of parts y

Interesting. From what I have heard, Toyota Prius, which as a traditional hybrid has both an internal combustion engine with its drivetrain and electrical drivetrain and batteries, does not suffer from much more drivetrain defects than pu

Thanks for comment - alas, I can't really point out to any publically available training on-line or such. Probably automotive engineering courses and model-specific trainings for car mechanics bring up more of these. What I wrote I&#x2

I really don't believe Tesla gets any worse parts than other manufacturers. Those parts come from the same production line. They are the same parts. Almost all of the automotive industry uses the same parts, chosen from a fairly limite

Electric cars are not that much simpler than ICE cars. The drivetrain is simpler, but most parts of the car are similar and share the same potential weaknesses. The body may rust, the doors have hinges and seals that may leak water, the win

Of course there needs to be a clock that you then need to switch between daylight savings and normal time.

Perhaps it was a stunt planned by the reporter only, but anyway, I can see how some people can see it as disrespectful. There are similarities with people who virtue-signal by working with children in a ghetto of a 3rd world country, and ge

I would guess the "stunt" here is that everyone knows that drinking one glass of Flint water won't really hurt you. It's the long-time exposure from childhood that is the problem.
