romania is a signatory to the 1958 new york convention on the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards , meaning local courts must enforce international arbitration awards under certain circumstances . romania is also a party to the european convention on international commercial arbitration concluded in geneva in 1961 and is a member of icsid .
interesting study but it’s clear that you have only visited romania and not actually have lived here . because your reasons while based on true facts play actually a small role in why we enjoy high speed internet connections . there are two main reasons why romania beat a lot of more countries in this area :
“that geographic area is also remarkably unregulated in telecom terms which is probably why romania has had a somewhat rotating theater of hundreds of internet service providers over the last 12 years . this remarkable ad - hoc form of competitive capitalism is one of the reasons why internet bandwidth is incredibly cheap in romania . ”
and doesn’t seem people are shy about admitting pirating either , 63 % in romania and 57 % worldwide . although there are other , more technical ways to monitor pirating , i think it’s safe to say many people everywhere are doing it . i’m not convinced that pirating software produces a significant push on isps to deliver faster speeds . consider turkey , similar gdp with romania , pirates at a rate similar to romania , but has half the average internet speed .

the 2012 - 2016 governance program lists agriculture and energy among romania’s top priorities . however , it does not offer incentive programs to attract investment to these sectors . romania is in the process of revising its energy strategy but progress is slow . the government offers income tax exemption for certain categories of highly skilled information technology professionals .

hi all , according to the carousel website site , from 12th october they will once again be an intalink member and will accept the explorer ticket day and weeklys on all routes except between uxbridge and heathrow . p
the last failure i want to mention are tickets . what is intalink about when i have to buy tickets for individual operators ? if you can ' t do anything similar to plusbus to have cross operator ticket , you are mostly useless intermediary .

this app is so bad that i even don ' t know where to start .
i downloaded the app , sign up ( why do i need that ? ) and started adding favorite stations . first finding was that bus stations with multiple bus stops are not presented as one in the map and i need to mark favorite every single one i can travel from . so when i added the first one , the map moved back to my current location - i had to search bus station for every stop i wanted to add . this was followed by finding that wgc bus station is not in the map at all .
the list of favorite stops is another failure . if you add multiple stops from the same station it will use the same name for all of them with no option to at least rename them to see direction in the list .
then i opened a favorite station and here comes the biggest failure . i can see only next 5 scheduled buses . no option to specify time or day i ' m interested in . also no real live updates with delays and cancellations !
other disappointments are about app performance as it tends to get stuck with a spinner which requires app restart and about missed opportunities - no timetables for individual bus routes , no maps for individual bus routes , no journey planner .
i downloaded the app after being encouraged by the potential discount for bus tickets for using it . i read the reviews but decided to download as i was only interested in the tickets and cost and not the timetable .
once downloaded i discovered that there were only limited tickets available on my bus / route and if bought through the app it actually would cost me more than if i just continued to buy tickets / returns direct on the bus during the working week . the weekly ticket on the app for example costs more than direct tickets purchased daily . therefore the advertised offer of up to 15 % discount doesn ' t seem to exist for the bus / route i use . disappointed there are not different options for types of tickets - ie 5 days min - fri or to include / exclude weekends . pointless therefore i ' ve now deleted the app .

i use the app for my monthly bus ticket and it ' s been great to have that option . i commiserate with another reviewer regarding about discounted tickets - i also found that there didn ' t seem to be any money off when that was advertised . that could have been clearer . the thing that has been annoying is the live arrival / departure times for buses . it ' s been changed to where it only says the time when it is due - i . e . 16 : 58 or saying it is - 1638m which i assume means it is that far away . i find both a bit useless in that regard and hope that that will be fixed .

meeting of environment scrutiny committee , tuesday , 9 december 2008 7 . 30 pm ( item 547 . )
representatives from town and parish councils , local groups and the public have been invited to attend to hear the presentation .
) at least three working days in advance of the meeting ( thursday , 4 december 2008 ) .
the chairman advised those present that the committee had undertaken a review of bus services during the 2007 / 08 municipal year .
she suggested that some of the recommendations made during that review might be addressed by the strategy .
was a meeting between the bus operators , district / borough council officers and local residents to discuss how services could be improved , particularly issues such as bus stop improvements , routing , fares , etc .
st albans was cited as an example of where a bus quality partnership had resulted in the whole public transport infrastructure being reviewed and improved .
work was currently underway to upgraded bus stops and utilise avl technology throughout the district .
technology was currently being installed by bus operators on vehicles in hertfordshire and would be delivered in 2009 .
would only be available when avl technology had been installed on buses and at bus stops throughout the network .
the technology would need to be successfully tested at a number of locations and the requisite infrastructure ( e . g . countdown displays at bus stops ) would also need to be in place before real - time arrival information would become a reality in hertfordshire .
hertfordshire county council’s passenger transport unit was currently bidding for funding to meet some of the infrastructure costs .
however , these displays showed timetable information only and were limited in this respect .
contact details of all bus and train operators , district and boroughs councils and the county council and other relevant partners ( such as tfl ) could be found on the website .
a member questioned whether the smart cards could be used on any bus throughout the country .
the committee were advised that local authorities throughout the country had installed smart card reader technology on their bus networks .
however , the county areas used different smart card reader technology , meaning that the cards and readers across county boundaries were usually incompatible .
in order for a common infrastructure for smart cards throughout the country to be in place , the department for transport would need to establish common parameters for smart cards and readers .
until that framework was in place throughout the country , different local authority areas would continue to use their own systems .
for example , the oyster card system used in london was incompatible with the smart card system used for the concessionary fares scheme in hertfordshire .
technology , which enabled bus users to find out when the next service would be arriving at a particular stop via an sms message , was already in place throughout hertfordshire .
use of the smx service was currently being trialled at bt in hatfield and would be rolled out across the county in the near future .
she also thanked the representatives from elstree and borehamwood town council transport and road safety group , potters bar in focus town centre transport group and local residents for attending the presentation .
thanks again to persistent abfly lobbying , a new bus service linking st albans’ railway stations and the city centre has launched this week ( monday 30 january ) .
the abbey shuttle will travel between st albans abbey station and st albans city station via st peter’s street with the timetable scheduled to coincide with the abbey line train arrivals and departures .
the service is a 12 - month pilot funded by a £150k grant from the department for transport . included in this cost is a marketing campaign aimed at residents and businesses . all profits from the service will be reinvested in the route and if successful the contract will extend past the one year trial project .

thanks for that - nice to see hcc haven ' t told the rest of us about this . again . carousel say this replaces their own day ticket , meaning a child day ticket - on a bucks - based bus network - will only be sold with a child hertssavercard . recipe for trouble ( from experience ! ) - what ' s wrong with allowing bucks citizencard holders one at half - fare ?

watford junction railway station is a railway station that serves watford , hertfordshire . the station is on the west coast main line ( wcml ) to london euston and the abbey line , a branch line to st albans . journeys to london take between 16 and 52 minutes depending on the service used : shorter times on fast non - stop trains and slower on the stopping watford dc line services . trains also run to east croydon and clapham junction via the west london line . the station is a major hub for local bus services and the connecting station for buses to the harry potter studio tour .
in 1862 , the watford and rickmansworth railway opened a route from watford to rickmansworth ( church street ) . now mostly closed , this route began by running south and west to a more central station on watford ' s high street , which remains in use .
from 1846 , the l & br was absorbed into the london and north western railway ( lnwr ) and watford junction was now run by this large , ambitious company . seeking to compete with local buses and trams , the lnwr built an additional suburban line from euston to watford in the early years of the 20th century , now known as the watford dc line . this veered away from the main line at bushey to loop around watford to pass through the high street station . a second suburban branch line was also built from high street west towards croxley green to serve new housing developments in that area . both branches were later electrified as part of this improvement plan , on the same dc three - rail system . the rickmansworth branch was connected to the main line via two through platforms with a junction to the north ; these platforms have since been partly built over and their remaining southern sections form part of the present dc lines terminus . at one time tube - style trains were used on the branches to counter the low voltage caused by the lack of a sub - station near rickmansworth .
the bakerloo line was extended to watford junction in 1917 , giving a shared service north of willesden junction with the main line electric trains which served euston and broad street stations . however , since 1982 [ 7 ] the line north of harrow & wealdstone has only been served by what is now the london overground service from euston station ; this service uses these dc lines for its
all stations
local service .
oyster card capability was extended to this station on 11 november 2007 on both the london overground and southern . it was extended to london midland services on 18 november 2007 . however , the station is outside london fare zones 1–9 and special fares apply .
with the electrification of the entire west london line in the 1990s , it became practical to run services from watford junction to clapham junction , allowing passengers to cross london without changing trains . southern rail now operate an hourly service from milton keynes through watford to east croydon with connections to brighton and gatwick .
the lnwr built a locomotive depot at the station in 1856 , which was replaced by a larger building in 1872 , and further enlarged in 1890 . it was closed by british railways in march 1965 . [ 8 ]
in 1984 the victorian station buildings were demolished and the station was rebuilt in a modern architectural style with a travel centre and a large office block above the station which is occupied by the lorry and bus manufacturing company iveco . some 19th - century waiting rooms survived , but were finally demolished in 1987 . [ 9 ] to enlarge the car park and provide more space , the st . albans branch line was realigned northwards , with the original st . albans platforms becoming a single terminating bay now mostly used by southern services .
