    How Volkswagen and the Bundeswehr have the same systematic problem with developing and patenting software

    16.12.2024

    The current year is proving challenging for the German automotive manufacturer Volkswagen (VW). In April 2024, Euronews reported: »The company (VW) said in its latest financial update on 10 April that sales of all-electric vehicles declined by 24% in Europe, while sales grew by 91% in China, year-over-year. However, overall, the company said it increased its vehicle deliveries by 3% to 2.10 million vehicles with the main drivers being China, South America and North America. "Vehicles with combustion engines increased by 4% to 1.97 million units, overcompensating the slight decline of 3% to 136,400 all-electric vehicles (BEV).

In Slovenia, the electronic land register (eZK) has been in full use for decades and represents a leap in practicality, transparency and efficiency compared to the old "paper system" of the past. Even though eZK is digital, it is still limited by human data entry via checks and balances of legislation and officials who can process the applications, in other words, it is not self-running.

    In relation to foreign direct investments, the Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Union (hereinafter: “the FDI Screening Regulation”) has already been in force since the 10 April 2019 but will be applied from the 11 October 2020. The FDI Screening Regulation establishes a framework for the screening by Member States of foreign direct investments into the Union on the grounds of security or public order and for a mechanism for cooperation between Member States, and between Member States and the Commission, with regard to foreign direct investments likely to affect security or public order. It includes the possibility for the Commission to issue opinions on such investments. Furthermore, nothing in the FDI Screening Regulation will limit the right of each Member State to decide whether or not to screen a particular foreign direct investment within the framework of this regulation.
