Keep things under control as well thats what were talking about today on made in germany control and the lack of it because in recent history weve seen a staggering failure of control in some areas here in germany we look in astonishment at v. W. Use diesel gates cantle that has poisoned the german car industrys reputation or the epic mismanagement that made berlins new airport one of the most expensive infrastructure ruins in german history it shows what happens when control fails and big business control is exercised by the Supervisory Board usually men over sixty but changes afoot and germany twenty six the in law states that at least thirty percent of Blue Chip Board members must be women now we meet with one of the new crop shes a woman and shes just thirty five. Shes young powerful and in charge. Understands rules and regulations she studied law for a few semesters and one point wanted to be a Police Detective instead she now keeps tabs on the managers of to mention companies as a member of the Supervisory Board. Kind of i dont like being monitored in day to day life except in predictable situations like when riding the train. I suppose there are someone checks my ticket in my house but i dont think anyone likes being monitored otherwise. But thats exactly what her job entails Supervisory Board members tend to be older men most wear dark suits are over sixty and a well connected shes been one of them for a year now joining the men for board meetings but without a business suit her presence is a sign that things are changing period finish buildout i miss when looking at pictures of Board Members showing a diversity on just a few german attempts at General Motors were step in the right direction if you dont want a bunch of guys who all know each other and are all members of my supervisor with five different handouts and then theyre on the executive board as well. That. Its a problem want to meet him as a. Ten years ago you know founded an agency for Digital Communication and consulting in berlin last year German Telecom company freenet asked to join its Supervisory Board freenet sells mobile phone contracts and digital t. V. And has an annual turnover of three and a half billion euros yunus job is to check whether the executive board has managed the process of digitalisation correctly. And Supervisory Boards main job is to monitor whats going on but also to advise the executive board. The. Most important characteristic you need is curiosity the need to be curious to be able to ask important questions about what the executive board is doing and what decisions its making. As a Supervisory Board member she has to be discreet as shes dealing with confidential matters. When she first started she visited freenet various Company Locations and spoke to employees today she is checking over documents and Balance Sheets if she overlooks anything she can be held liable for it a Supervisory Board member of freenet earns an average seventy thousand euros a year if i am very proud of myself. Im not doing this to be my status or because i like having a fancy title. But i want to be a role model for young women to show that you dont have to be fifty and were a business suit to work in a top position. Its a presence on. Shes not permitted to say what ideas shes put forward or what objections she has raised since being on freenet Supervisory Board. But shes happy to speak about how she got to where she is shes been invited to speak at the female future for stay in dublin it covers new opportunities for womens careers networking and the call for more women in Senior Management positions. Friends of you know a College Dropout who founded an agency became germanys youngest female Supervisory Board member at the same time shes a mother to a two year old daughter now she wants to see more women in her position. Is to tell my this is about my future i dont want my daughter to ask me about ten or fifteen years time whats all this about your company and the whole one thing and anyone having women in top positions should be the norm up and diversity should be one percent thats how i see the future and exhausting it for. Two months ago the thirty five year old took on a second Supervisory Board position shes now advising and overseeing an Insurance Company as it moves towards greater digitalisation but no more than that she says to Supervisory Board mandates are enough. Wherever control is lax corruption is rife tax avoidance is also easy and that has helped create one of the most serious economic dramas in e. U. History the greek debt crisis after many billions in Financial Aid and years of a stereotype demanded by creditors like the e. U. And the i. M. F. Greece is now supposed to take its economic destiny into its own hands again. Greeks finally back in control of their own country for years the government in athens has had to answer to e. U. Or therapies to keep it from spiraling into bankruptcy. The European CommissionEuropean Central bank and the International Monetary fund have provided greece with bailout loans totaling two hundred eighty nine billion euros. In return for Massive Public spending cuts. National debt remains high. Nearly twice the countrys annual economic output. Poverty and unemployment hasnt disappeared either athens still has to maintain public spending restrictions as a condition for delaying repayment deadlines. Economic growth is slow so there still arent enough jobs. For young people are leaving a country in which they see no real future for up to five Greek University graduates move abroad and not only graduates since the crisis began almost eight hundred thousand greeks have left roughly a tenth of the population. There leaving because problems such as ingrained corruption which helped spark the crisis are not being tackled effectively if at all. Greeces being paralyzed by the rigid austerity measures a state analysts fear that could last decades until greece has paid off its debt. Its called bucks each graft bootle and in greece its called fuck you lucky money that you plan official to make things go smoothly lets call it by its name its corruption and corruption is greatly contributed to the greek debt crisis so how to fight it christina tramon tinos the yale graduate advised the great governor. Anticorruption council and says the private sector has to be made aware that graft is poison for the economy and for that business we met up with and often. Personally my family my grandfather who is a war veteran was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer he had eighty six percent basically a handicap and he was asked for a bribe for emergency care. To see that there monday is a leading anticorruption activist in greece. Corruption has become internalised we just have certain fields. To simply follow a good program or even to us that when we get to the hospital were afraid of getting poor treatment so we pay a bribe to buy ourselves a sense of security. It is that going to change of course and. Ive talked to a lot of groups and mustiness all my impression is that taken for granted to the person was that they take it for granted they feel like thats how things get done they feel that if you dont grease the wheels they will never get what they need they will never get that permit they wont get that medical attention they wont get the job done on time. Here at the local hospital speaking with doctors above description a whole new approach in a country where the issue of bribes is routinely swept under the carpet i asked him what needs to be done to change he said two things citizens need to stop thinking doctors with bribes they have to just accept that this is our job and that we are doing what we are paid to do because if they stop giving it they will stop basically feeding this mentality and the second one is that salaries need to raise and the citizens need to actually report it says a production without fear. But first. I. Get the license to. Run the business for example they say oh well never would win situation for the short run yes but in the long run it hurts everyone so i think what needs to change is that the sacrifice of Public Benefit the private gain needs to stop being the way we think about their lives havent you works with journalists to try to raise awareness of the problem through the media but because of the economic crisis other issues like unemployment grab the headlines. Out us corruption are the Greek Economy and the Greek Society right cause i mean maybe its time to be nice because first of all its creating a negative impression to the outside world first and foremost we are a nation right now the dire economic boost we need Foreign Investment for. In two thousand and fifteen to monday set up a website where people can report incidences of corruption amongst doctors officials and politicians all anonymously around eight hundred thousand people have visited the site so far but she says it hasnt really changed anything you are working on the awareness of the greeks all there are all the things. To stop corruption maybe some legal measures that are needed but the risks need to be higher Law Enforcement needs to actually happen i feel the greeks we have we have a plethora of laws that deal with corruption one thing we dont have is a whistleblower law and were one of the very few e. U. Countries that dont actually have one and we havent ratified it so i think adopting a whistleblower law that would protect individuals who speak for the Public Interest by uncovering fraud waste and abuse would be seen to uncovering a lot of corrupt practices that have gone undetected do you feel sometimes like a lone wolf fighting against corruption because almost nobody stands up and serves one of four against corruption not anymore i feel like the crisis has actually broken the almighty in many ways the website that i built broken home at that as well but i feel people due to their disappointment in the system and decades of mismanagement are willing to step forward and talk about corruption more openly than they did before. The fall of the wouldnt you like to live in a greece without corruption. Of course but then everyone would have to be able to live from what they have from students to pensioners. The constant wage and pension cuts would have to stop. Without strict control no tax system works so some companies try to avoid control and move their business to tax havens very often these are tropical islands and the caribbean the e. U. And the g twenty have vowed to close down tax havens around the world on the blacklist yolland of. As many as many Letterbox Companies as it has inhabitants and the crackdown on Fake Companies and tax avoidance schemes has hit the economy that hog. The caribbean and its tax havens are a source of frustration for the e. U. The small island is a british overseas territory. It has beautiful beaches about ten thousand residents and more than ten thousand offshore letterboxed companies. But its whats not here that makes and without attractive to Financial Investors theres no excessive will register of companies or no taxes neither on income nor on profits investors were main anonymous at least they have until now or legitimate reasons for having privacy you know High Net Worth individuals celebrities you know they visit the island they dont want everyone to know thats the thats their yacht you know their privacy can be at stake so they are there are legitimate reasons. But the e. U. Takes a different view it wants to know who has invested in hotels like this one for example otherwise its threatening to put the island on its blacklist. Language it would then join places like trinidad. Or quasi. Seven countries are blacklisted in all and under close observation. Sixty five others are on the gray list and have already vowed to improve Steve Garlock feels the flood of new rules goes too far he says making everything transparent would be too expensive and jeopardizing willis business model. Right we do not believe this and this. But if. You want to inflict this then yes we will have to do it the reason were on the list is because one small change we want to whitelist we havent changed i think theyve changed the rules and we have to comply with those rules but the e. U. Sees the changes as a milestone in its fight against tax evasion particularly the blacklist even if there are no concrete sanctions yet against any black sheep. Internazionale International Investors will study the list and in the long term they wont be able to invest in those states on the list for fear of the consequences that could have for their business. On the one hand these tax havens fear the investors sanctions but equally the investors who hide their money their fear of getting caught. Whats missing some critics say or potential tax havens within the e. U. Such as monaco luxembourg. And london. And your brother in fact theyve not even been looked at Transparency International is demanding that the e. U. Put its own house in order first and then look beyond the e. U. To. On top of this countries that have this new close ties to the e. U. Would our allies switzerland or the United States was clear that they would never make it into the list even though recent studies show that. They are secretly jurisdictions and that they could actually make it to the list if if if. It was an objective process. And thats music to the ears of the residents of angry law who want the same laws applied to all i believe its by the end of the twenty that we have to comply and we working on that. Very diligently and we see no reason why we should not comply so we should go from being on the gray list to being on the goodness and certainly not the blacklist. Since last years devastating hurricane erma pressure is growing on the Financial Sector to keep generating profits for the islanders were and will are to end up on the blacklist it would be another disaster for the island. Data has become a commodity now some say its the new Oil Companies want to make money with it governments want to control it and citizens want to protect their privacy governments block websites they dont want their people to access those veliz own website d.

Our companies have Great Potential for growth thanks to the internet if we succeed in keeping the web free and safe we can increase those opportunities were not even able to imagine what a Free Internet could mean for us. And wherever that freedom doesnt exist there are young people who simply create it.
