Cross-Channel passengers and freight customers could face higher prices following Eurotunnel's acquisition of three ferries from the former ferry operator, SeaFrance, the Competition Commission (CC) has provisionally found today.
According to a summary of the CC's provisional findings published today, by adding ferry services to its existing Channel Tunnel business, Eurotunnel would significantly increase its already high share of the cross-Channel market and prices would rise.
The CC also found that Eurotunnel decided to acquire the SeaFrance ferries in order to prevent ferry operator DFDS/LD from buying them. Eurotunnel was concerned that if DFDS/LD obtained the assets cheaply, it could drive down prices for customers.
Chairman of the Eurotunnel/SeaFrance Inquiry Group and CC Deputy Chairman, Alasdair Smith, said:
'It would seem that Eurotunnel moved into the ferry business because it was concerned at the increased competition it would face if another operator bought the assets. Given that the company already holds a market share of over 40 per cent, we're concerned that customers could lose out from Eurotunnel increasing its share even further and being able to raise prices on the tunnel services.
'In view of the current excess capacity on the Dover–Calais route, it also seems likely that one of the current ferry operators is likely to exit in the short to medium term. We think that customers will be better off if there are two independent ferry companies competing with the tunnel than if one of the two is owned by Eurotunnel.
'We will now look at how we can protect competition in this market. Whilst our focus is primarily on customers' interests, we will also consider carefully the interests of the ferry employees.'
Eurotunnel provides rail transport services to both passengers and freight customers across the narrowest section of the English Channel via the Channel Tunnel. Until November 2011, SeaFrance provided ferry services to both passengers and freight customers across the same section of the English Channel between Dover and Calais.
Three of the four vessels and other related assets operated by SeaFrance at the time of its liquidation were subsequently bought by Eurotunnel which then launched ferry services between Calais and Dover on 20 August 2012 under the MyFerryLink brand.
As well as the provisional findings summary, the CC has also published a notice of possible remedies, outlining ways of addressing the anti-competitive effects of the acquisition. The full provisional findings report will be published shortly. The documents and all other information relating to the investigation are available on the inquiry home page.
The CC is expected to publish its final report by 14 April 2013.
Any interested party is invited to respond to the provisional findings and notice of possible remedies, in writing, by no later than 12 and 5 March 2013, respectively. To submit evidence, please email email@example.com or write to:

FYI 4: Filing a Complaint with the IEC
If you feel you may have grounds to file a formal complaint with the IEC please read the preliminary steps that are outlined below.
Before you file a complaint - confidentiality
Individuals are encouraged to contact Commission staff to discuss their concerns before filing a formal complaint.
People may be hesitant to file a complaint for various personal or professional reasons, and the public nature of such proceedings. The IEC is committed to creating an environment where individuals may contact the IEC for guidance while remaining free from possible retaliation for seeking such advice. It is the IEC's policy to allow for anonymous oral inquiries to IEC staff for guidance on such issues as to whether or not the IEC has jurisdiction over a particular issue, help understand prior Commission opinions, or answer procedural questions on how the IEC works. For more information on confidentiality and the IEC please see FYI 3.
Before filing a complaint it is important to know that Commissioners themselves are not allowed to help complainants directly or discuss the complaint with any party; Commission staff, however, may assist you. Commission staff may help complainants understand the procedural workings of the Commission.
Commission staff is not permitted to provide legal advice.
To draft a complaint
It is important that parties know that the person filing a complaint has the burden of proving the allegations set forth in the complaint. It is also the right of the Commission to dismiss a complaint it deems frivolous, or because the alleged activity occurred more than 12 months prior to the complaint being filed. There may be situations where another authority has primary jurisdiction to hear a complaint, and the IEC will help direct you to other resources (see FYI 9).
Once a written complaint is filed and deemed not frivolous by the Commission, it becomes public record; the case file and its contents are subject to release under the Colorado Open Records Act.
To submit a complaint to the IEC, fill out a complaint form (attached). Check with the IEC staff to determine if a filing can be accepted electronically. You do not need to be represented by an attorney – you can write and file a complaint yourself. Commission staff may be able to assist you with your presentation to the Commission and investigate a claim, but cannot provide legal advice or represent a complainant at a hearing.
You must fill in the following fields on the complaint form:
1. Complainant:
Fill in the name of each person, business or agency filing the complaint, and daytime contact information of at least one of the persons filing the complaint. Please provide an email address if applicable.
2. Respondent:
Fill in the name of the specific person at a government agency against whom you are complaining. You must provide a contact name, address and daytime phone number. Please provide an email address if applicable. If you do not have the contact information, you must obtain it before filing the complaint.
3. Statement:
Fill in your statement about what you think was done that violated ethics laws in Colorado. If you think more than one ethics violation occurred please state each one separately. You should be prepared to provide the names of people you spoke with, copies of any supporting documents and have witnesses available and willing to testify (if there are any.) Be as specific as possible. Please cite the section of Article XXIX or the the title of Colorado Revised Statutes which you believe was violated. Although the statement need not be in the form of a legal document, the Commission must be able to understand what occurred from the face of the complaint.
4. Signature:
Each complainant must sign the complaint form and fill in the city where the complaint was signed, day and date. The complaint does not need to be notarized.
5. Filing the complaint with the IEC:
Make at least three copies of your complaint. Keep one of your copies. Mail, fax, or hand-deliver the original and one copy to the Independent Ethics Commission, Complaints, 1300 Broadway, Suite 240, Denver, CO 80203
Complaints may be emailed if the email contains the written signature of the complainant.
The staff of the IEC will be responsible to serve the complaint on the other party, arrange for a hearing location and time.
Please use this Complaint form.

Full user review
"It's fantastic, it's like a cheat code for designers."
- Simple controls. Left click to change direction and right click to get rid of it.
- Measures accurately and even has a little dialogue to tell you the exact measurement.
- Automatically extends and retracts with the mouse meaning it's never in your way when you're measuring.Cons
- Does not allow diagonal measuring.
- Although they have it here as free, they fail to tell you that the free version has an annoying pop-up every time you open it, and it waits till you're absolutely addicted to it before it starts appearing.Summary
As a web and graphic designer, this tool has saved me loads of time. I can resize images to the perfect dimensions first time everytime, I can measure up other websites quickly and efficiently when doing my research and a whole load of other things. I just simply put this tool on my quick launch and I've got an instant handy ruler available anytime. Although I did complain about the annoying pop-up, I'm thinking of getting the paid version because its only around £3 and totally worth it.
1 reply to this review
Hi Sharcs, thanks for the review. However the program does not have a pop-up associated with it, nor is there even a paid version.
Perhaps you downloaded it from somewhere else but the version on the website www.arulerforwindows.com does not have a pop-up reminder for anything.
Also, the program does measure dialgonally, just press the "/" to switch from vertical to horizontal mode (and back again).

Twins Nightclub is awesome – I like the music generally later in the night, when they play the upbeat dance stuff. Its the only spot in Rancho with a REAL dance floor and DJ. The crowd is rad and its best on thursday and saturday nights! Wish they would play more 80's electroclash and Indie Rock, but I can always go to LIQUID on Wednesdays nights in Riverside to hear that! Text msg LURE to the number 25827 to get on LIQUIDS VIP list...
Oh and that hot doorman you guys are talking about is the main promoter at LIQUID, so if you REALLY want to see him, then check him out over there!
The doorman is mean but damn hes HOT! – Twins Nightclub $1000 Thursdays is were it's at! The girls are always looking hot and the dance contest always attracts a BIG crowd. The one thing I love the most is the bad boy doorman they have in the front, he's edgie with killer looks and tattoos...I wish I could say he's nice, he's a bit harsh and trying to get passed him with a fake ID just isn't going to happen. The drinks are strong and priced right, but the music could use some help...the new DJ from Amsterdamn is pretty damn good though!
If you live in THE I.E., it's a cool spot – If you don't want to drive to Hollywood or OC. I would go here. I had a much better time (saturday) than expected. The girls weren't that bad looking at all and drink prices just right.
Two rooms ! Great music ! Beautiful people ! – This is a great place to hang out on a Tuesday for $2.00 U-CALL-IT till 10:30 ! Or if you are trying to get through the week you can check out The comedy womb on wednesdays , as funny as the Improv without the wait, crowds, and price . Thursdays were started by this club, a $1000 dance contest that has been running for 5 years makes Thursdays the hottest night for Twins club.
Check out the myspace /twinsnightclubrocks
Loved Wednesday Night Comedy Show! – Just what this area needs! Something to do on humpday...loved the comedy show last Wednesday, Bert was awesome! Laughed my hiney off! Club has great food, love the martini's. Only $10 for a terrific show...what a deal! Just wish the show started earlier, started at almost 10pm, kinda rough for those that work for a living. Would be great if it started earlier and then had dancing afterward. See ya again next week!
Wed.'s Comedy Night is a must – Got to give it up to the owner's of Twins and their new Wed night promoters doing their comedy thing...ultra hip decor, sultry and lounge-like. Great place to bring a date or head out with a group of friends..,all I know is that its been too long since I've laughed so hard and so much. The Staff was friendly and they have a full kitchen going...generous plates that all looked good, (got to try the Nachos)!Can't wait til some drink specials get going...though the beer was a little pricy I got over it as DJ Oz did his thing while I enjoyed the overall vibe. There's nothing around like it...Can't wait till next Wed..see ya there!
Desert Rats united – Never have I seen more Barbed-Wire or Spider Web tatoos in my life. If I saw one more backwards independent hat, I think I would have passed out. If that is what you are looking for, then Twins is for you. Any place that has a dirt parkinglot...well you know. They do have good music.
twins is one of the best clubs Iv'e been to. very laid back and hyped at the same time , drink specials all night, owners are really cool ,dress code is very lax , music is off the chain, mixed crowd,$5 cover every night, plenty of beautiful people,you don't have to be roll'n in doe to have a hellava time here!!!! trust me!!!

Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
December 9, 2012
Today we recognize International Anticorruption Day and honor the tireless efforts of activists, businesses, government officials, and international organizations to combat corruption and promote open and transparent government.
While much work remains, 2012 was a successful year in the global fight against corruption. Since its inception last year, the Open Government Partnership has grown sevenfold and now includes 58 countries representing a quarter of the world's population, encouraging greater access to information, citizen engagement, and fiscal transparency. The United States and the world's largest economies have been leading by example, as the G20 created an ambitious anticorruption action plan for the next two years and adopted principles to keep corrupt officials away from our borders. Under the U.S. presidency, the G8 joined regional partners to convene the first Arab Forum on Asset Recovery in order to help identify and recover proceeds of corruption stowed abroad.
The United States is committed to preventing corruption and the destructive impact it has on communities around the globe. With our partners, we are working to promote legal regimes that prosecute corrupt actors, recover the proceeds of corruption and other illicitly acquired assets, and fight other crimes such as money laundering. The United States is proud to be a partner in the global fight to combat corruption and applauds all those working to sustain transparent, open societies around the world.
About the Author: Maria Otero serves as the Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights.
When President Barack Obama helped launch the Open Government Partnership (OGP) last year, no one could have predicted that it would capture the imagination of the international community as it has. In just one year, 57 governments have joined OGP and made more than 300 specific commitments to be more open and responsive to their citizens. These commitments, as contained in National OGP Action Plans, will impact nearly two billion people around the world.
This is truly impressive progress, but it's not enough. And so, as we celebrate International Right to Know Day, we also celebrate the deepening commitment to open government — both globally and within the United States. As the U.S. Government…more »

This week's "Photo of the Week" comes to us from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's recent trip to Brasilia, Brazil. A staff member captured a photo of Secretary Clinton as she prepared to address the staff and families of the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia on April 16, 2012.
While in Brazil, Secretary Clinton delivered remarks at the opening session of the Open Government Partnership. Secretary Clinton said, "In the 21st century, the United States is convinced that one of the most significant divisions among nations will not be north/south, east/west, religious, or any other category so much as whether they are open or closed societies. We believe that countries with open governments,… more »
About the Author: Maria Otero serves as Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights. On behalf of the United States, she is the founding co-chair of the Open Government Partnership.
Good governance means more than regular elections. It also means active citizens; a free press; an independent judiciary and legislature; and transparent and responsive institutions that are accountable to all citizens and protect their rights equally and fairly. The Open Government Partnership (OGP) hews closely to these principles. It is, at its core, about the relationship between a government and its citizens — a relationship that is defined by mutual responsibility and facilitated by dialogue.
Undeniably, technology and access are changing the relationship between a government and its people. Communication networks are enabling citizens to exercise their human rights and fundamental freedoms, participate in the democratic process, and organize social movements that alter the… more »

Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero holds a discussion with Warren Krafchik, Director of the International Budget Partnership (IBP), on the Open Government Partnership for a "Conversations with America" webcast, at the Department of State, July 7, 2011.
The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a new international initiative aimed at securing concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, increase civic participation, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to make government more open, effective, and accountable. A multi-stakeholder International Steering Committee, co-chaired by the United States and Brazil in its inaugural year, is comprised of government and civil society representatives from around the world.
Media Note
Office of the Spokesperson Washington, DCJuly 7, 2011
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota will announce the Open Government Partnership (OGP) at a high-level meeting of governments and civil society at the Department of State on July 12, 2011. The Open Government Partnership is a new, multilateral initiative that aims to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance.
In the spirit of multi-stakeholder collaboration, OGP will be overseen by a steering committee that includes a diverse coalition of governments and civil society organizations and will be co-chaired by Brazil and the United States in its inaugural year.
Last September at the United Nations General Assembly, President Obama challenged countries to embrace open government saying, "When we gather back here next year, we should bring specific commitments to promote transparency; to fight corruption; to energize civic engagement; and to leverage new technologies so that we strengthen the foundation of freedom in our own countries, while living up to ideals that can light the world." OGP aims to do that by engaging a large and diverse group of countries in a fresh conversation about governance challenges.
The July 12 event will convene government and civil society representatives to discuss best practices through interactive panels, issue framing sessions, and idea sprints. Another feature, "Innovation Alley," will demonstrate technologies and other tools and methodologies available from private and non-profit companies and organizations that enhance open government. Representatives from over 50 countries and more than 40 civil society organizations are expected at the day-long event.
This event will set the stage for the formal launch of the Open Government Partnership in September 2011, when the governments on the steering committee will embrace an Open Government Declaration, announce their country action plans to promote OGP principles, and welcome the commitment of additional countries to join the Partnership.
On Thursday, July 7, 2011, Maria Otero, Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs, will hold a conversation with Warren Krafchik, Director of the International Budget Partnership (IBP), on "Open Government Partnership." The discussion will be moderated by Cheryl Benton, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, and streamed live at 10:30 a.m. EDT on www.state.gov and DipNote, the Department of State's official blog. You are invited to participate by submitting questions, some of which will be selected for response during the live broadcast. Submit your questions now on DipNote.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie[note 1] (born 15 September 1977) is a writer from Nigeria.[2] She has been called "the most prominent" of a "procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors [that] is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature".[3]
Personal life and education[edit]
Born in the city of Enugu, she grew up the fifth of six children in an Igbo family in the university town of Nsukka in southeastern Nigeria, where the University of Nigeria is situated. While she was growing up, her father James Nwoye Adichie was a professor of statistics at the university, and her mother Grace Ifeoma was the university's first female registrar. Her family's ancestral village is in Abba in Anambra State.[4]
Adichie studied medicine and pharmacy at the University of Nigeria for a year and a half. During this period, she edited The Compass, a magazine run by the university's Catholic medical students. At the age of 19, Adichie left Nigeria and moved to the United States for college. After studying communications and political science at Drexel University in Philadelphia, she transferred to Eastern Connecticut State University to live closer to her sister, who had a medical practice in Coventry. She received a bachelor's degree from Eastern, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2001.
In 2003, she completed a master's degree in creative writing at Johns Hopkins University. In 2008, she received a Master of Arts in African studies from Yale University.
Adichie was a Hodder fellow at Princeton University during the 2005–2006 academic year. In 2008 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. She has also been awarded a 2011–2012 fellowship by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University.
Adichie, who is married, divides her time between Nigeria, where she teaches writing workshops, and the United States.[5]
Writing career[edit]
Adichie published a collection of poems in 1997 (Decisions) and a play (For Love of Biafra) in 1998. She was shortlisted in 2002 for the Caine Prize[6] for her short story "You in America".[7]
In 2003, her story "That Harmattan Morning" was selected as joint winner of the BBC Short Story Awards, and she won the O. Henry prize for "The American Embassy". She also won the David T. Wong International Short Story Prize 2002/2003 (PEN Center Award) and a 2007 Beyond Margins Award for her short story "Half of a Yellow Sun".[8]
Her first novel, Purple Hibiscus (2003), received wide critical acclaim; it was shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction (2004) and was awarded the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book (2005).
Her second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, named after the flag of the short-lived nation of Biafra, is set before and during the Biafran War. It was awarded the 2007 Orange Prize for Fiction. Half of a Yellow Sun has been adapted into a film starring Academy Award nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor and BAFTA award winner Thandie Newton and is set for release in 2014.[9]
Her third book, The Thing Around Your Neck (2009), is a collection of short stories.
In 2010 she was listed among the authors of The New Yorker′s "20 Under 40" Fiction Issue.[10] Adichie's story, "Ceiling", was included in the 2011 edition of The Best American Short Stories.
In 2013 she published her third novel, Americanah which was selected by the New York Times as one of The 10 Best Books of 2013.[11]
Adichie spoke on "The Danger of a Single Story" for TED in 2009.[12] On 15 March 2012, she delivered the "Connecting Cultures" Commonwealth Lecture 2012 at the Guildhall, London.[13] Adichie also spoke on being a feminist for TEDxHuston in December 2012, with her speech entitled, "We should all be feminists".[14] This speech was sampled for the 2013 song "***Flawless" by American performer Beyoncé, where it attracted further attention.
