As Latvia's government slices state spending to bring its 2012 budget deficit down to under 3 percent of GDP - the level needed to qualify the country for entry into the euro in 2014 - experts say the plan to hit the deficit target is being threatened by "weak" attempts to fight tax dodgers.

Legal memoranda in relation to Latgall language as a strain of historical Latvian language
/Publication available only in Latvian/
Author: Agris Bitāns
Jurista Vārds, Nr.10 (709), 06.03.2012.
Currently there is no legal basis to refuse to communicate with state and local government institutions in any vernacular of Latvian language or dialect.
I express my gratitude to the journal “Jurista Vārds”
which in the issue No 42(690) of 25 October 2011, summarized opinion of lawyers
in respect to Latgall language. This in turn eliminates the necessity to spend time
convincing that this issue is not worth for legal research. Also, it shows that
it is not just a presumption of Latvian province people that they can have
their own language which also could be used in official communication. The goal
of this article aims to look at Latgall language as strain of Latvian language
from the legal point of view.

idea thieveries, industrial espionage and efforts to hide important trade
secrets from competitors, accidentally thoughts burst about some grand enough
and very serious field, for example, automobile construction, aircraft,
biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries, where secrecy has major
significance, such as magic ingredient known to one company or kept in secret
formulas.
