EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEREST GROUPINGS (EEIG)
By Noel Murphy 

An EEIG is a mechanism through which businesses within the EU can engage in cross-border commerce.
 
The creation of the EEIG is an effort to develop economic activity throughout the EU and to create a single market offering conditions similar to those of a national market. It is designed to minimise the legal and fiscal difficulties that natural persons, companies, firms and other bodies face in cooperating across borders.
 
EEIG's are regulated under SI No. 191 of 1989 - European Communities (European Economic Interest Groupings) Regulations 1989, and SI No. 447 of 2010 European Communities (European Economic Interest Groupings) (Amendment) Regulations 2010. 
 
The purpose of the grouping is to facilitate or develop the economic activities of its members by a pooling of resources, activities or skills. This is intended to produce better results than the members acting alone.



FLOWERING SHARES
By Seamus Parfrey

Flowering shares are a class of ordinary shares issued by a company which entitle the shareholder (employee in this case) to capital generated by the future growth of the business above its current value.
 
Shares are issued at a day one value. When a company reaches an agreed level of future growth (which is known as the "hurdle") the shares will have an agreed value. This amount can be either variable (based on a percentage) or a fixed amount.
 
The shares are normally available for purchase at a nominal or small amount meaning only minimal outlay by the employees at the outset. 


SLOW DOWN AND STOP MAKING MISTAKES!
Seamus Parfrey
By Seamus Parfrey

Over the years I have found if I rush my work I am prone to making silly mistakes.  So I slow down and review what I have done to make sure it looks right.

A quick test for you:

You have just five seconds to answer these simple questions:
  1. What do cows drink?
  2. What's the opposite of 'not in'?
  3. How much dirt is in a hole measuring two metres squared, and three metres deep?
  4. What weighs more - a ton of concrete or a ton of feathers?
  5. How many of each animal did Moses take onto the Ark?
Time's over.
