Voorbeeldzinnen

1. When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.

5. In order to benefit from the exemption scheme in question, any undertaking wishing to maximise the value of its investments must set up a separate entity in Luxembourg for the purpose of carrying on exclusively the activities authorised by the 1929 legislation. The establishment of such a structure therefore entails investments on top of the normal costs of an investment activity. Only undertakings with a group structure and significant financial resources of sufficient amount to establish in Luxembourg a structure devoted to the activities of managing and financing participations are able to benefit from the scheme. Such undertakings include, for example, exempt billionaire holding companies.
