Situated on a hill overlooking the breathtaking mountainous scenery of Sapa Town, Lao Cai Province, Lady Hill Sapa Resort is a brand new and charming resort that stands out from the others in the area.
|A bird's eye view of the magnificent Lady Hill Sapa Resort. Photo courtesy of the resort|
Skipping many accommodation options, our group of tourists, both locals and international travelers, decided to choose Lady Hill Sapa Resort as our "home" for a three-day and two-night trip to the famous tourist attraction in Vietnam's northern mountainous region.
And that decision paid off beyond our expectations. The resort is quiet, beautiful and secluded without being too far from the center. It also has easy access to the cable car station, which is very convenient for the trip to conquer the mountain known as the "Roof of Indochina" - Mount Fanspan.
With a green area of more than 20 hectares, it paints a poetic picture with the unique colors of the mountains and forests of the mountainous region.
As a masterpiece of architecture leaning on the foot of a cloud, the design of Lady Hill Sapa Resort is said to be inspired by the traditional earrings of the ethnic people of the Northwest.

Nestled among the clouds in the middle of the sky, making it a prominent landmark in Sapa, the resort has established a new level of excellence that is difficult for many other hotels in the area to match. The newly built complex was designed to attract high-end leisure travelers while offering excellent facilities for MICE events.
Its 154 rooms have a modern and luxurious style with warm wood tones as the main theme, inspired by the traditional cultural values of the Vietnamese ethnic groups and the beauty of the H'mong ethnic group.
The 20 bungalows are separate, hidden in the green trees on the mountain slope, with a minimalist and modern design inspired by the national cultural identity of the Northwest region and the Sa Moc tree - a gift from Mother Nature for Cha Pa (now Sa Pa). Overlooking the mountains of Sapa or the peak of Fansipan, the villas at Lady Hill Sapa Resort offer guests a complete relaxation experience, gently touching the pristine Sapa among the hills and mountains hidden in the clouds.

The graphics on every item in the room, from the specially designed bed runner to the wall painting and bathtub, reflect the resort's attention to detail. Most are lovely keepsakes that make a stay at the hotel memorable.
While the rooms offer guests a luxurious experience, the spacious ballrooms and three other functional rooms are said to be suitable for large meetings or weddings.
Organize a dream wedding in the mountains of Sapa at Lady Hill Sapa Resort. Feel the moment as you exchange vows in the middle of the hill or declare your love in the luxurious ballroom with shimmering lights. Whether clients have their wedding ceremony in a romantic garden or a magnificent ballroom with majestic mountain views, Lady Hill Sapa Resort will provide them with the most exclusive details.
Lady Hill Sapa Resort has built a Korean-style sauna by Jjim Jil Bang, the first of its kind in Sapa. The bathhouse offers a unique experience that combines relaxation, culture and health benefits, with hot and cold baths, saunas and various types of massage.

After a journey to explore the mysterious beauties of the misty city, the spa at Lady Hill Sapa Resort is a perfect choice with unique and diverse treatment packages and herbal baths made from famous ingredients of the Dao people. The tub is an ideal recipe for guests to rejuvenate and discover the specialties of the local culture in a soothing, peaceful spa environment.
In addition, the resort's infinity pool has a great view of the mountains and forests, making it a place to relax and perfect for photo shoots.
Another highlight of the resort to be completed in the near future is Lady Hill Park. It is said to be a forest with rich vegetation within the resort. It boasts a variety of samu or tang trees and a Sapa rose garden.
At the park, visitors get their passion for exploring the mountains and participate in Taichi and Yoga classes to help regenerate energy and balance the body. Conquering the highest peak of Lady Hill Park will be a rewarding experience, as visitors will be immersed in a space filled with mountain scents and enjoy the poetic natural scenery of the northwestern country.
In Sapa, you may be surprised at the number of hotels and homestays, but you can't go wrong with Lady Hill Sapa Resort. It's a true five-star hotel of international standard but at a reasonable price.

Timeform identify the three best bets at Hove on Saturday evening.
“…he ran a blinder back over the 695m trip last week…”
Timeform on Sussex Hurricane
Classy Ranger (T2) can improve again to land this. He trounced his rivals in an A5 last week, never looking in any danger from the third bend, and can win more races up in grade.
Galaxy On Fire (T1) is worth backing here. He wasn’t stopping when bolting up over 500m at the start of the month and has untapped potential over this longer distance.
Sussex Hurricane (T5) makes plenty of appeal. He ran a blinder back over the 695m trip last week and seems sure to go close if in anything like that sort of form again tonight.

The day millions of fashionistas have been waiting for has finally arrived. Starting tomorrow, November 15th, H&M will carry classic Maison Martin Margiela clothing and accessories. Now we can all be like Kanye!
Staying true to its avant-garde style, the Margiela collection for H&M incorporates objects, deconstructed materials, and embodies a baggy, oversized look. You may also find that several pieces are fusions of two types of garments; either two different dresses combined or a skirt that turns into pants towards the bottom. The Margiela house has always been known to turn anything into a fashion accessory and that is evident in their H&M collection.
This H&M and Margiela collaboration brings high-end style for an affordable price. Original Margiela pieces can cost thousands of dollars, however the H&M collection price range from $13-$399. The more reasonable price range allows more people to afford this brand.
The collection is composed of reissued archived Margiela pieces and will be labeled to indicate which Margiela season it originated from. So when Kanye asks “What’s that jacket, Margiela?” You can respond with “Why yes it is. Inspired by the Fall ’95 collection to be exact!”
Take a quick listen to my podcast about the Maison Martin Margiela for H&M collection, view some of the collection below and comment with your favorite piece.

FWT LET-SWI/2 is a spherical tissue-equivalent (TE) proportional
counter suitable for measuring the spectra of absorbed dose in LET
(actually P(Y) spectra) or absorbed dose directly. In the latter
case the counter acts as a multiplying ionization chamber.
The detector is housed in a 0.007-inch-thick aluminum shell. This
detector utilizes a single wire design based on work by P.W.Benjamin.
The aluminum shell and attached stem are completely submersible
and capable of being operated in any of the common TE fluids. The
active volume of the detector is 0.500 inch in diameter and has
a 0.05-inch-thick wall of TE plastic. The stem is approximately
10 inches long and has a connector block at one end which contains
the high-voltage and signal connectors and a vacuum fitting. The
block is suitable for clamping the detector to laboratory fixtures
and is gasketed for moisture resistance.
The counter is designed to be evacuated and filled by the user with
TE proportional-counting gas at a low pressure, typically 2.5 to
40 cm Hg. These low pressures enable the spherical detector volume
to simulate small tissue spheres from less than 1 to more than 8
microns in diameter.
Connection of the detector to a preamplifier, such as used with
Ge(Li) detectors, and a linear amplifier will enable a P(Y) spectrum
to be accumulated on a pulse-height analyzer when the detector is
exposed to a radiation source. Proper choice of amplifier gain settings
will enable data to be obtained for Y values from 0.5 to 1000 keV
per micron. These data may be converted to a spectrum of absorbed
dose in LET with the aid of specific software.
The optional internal Cm244 alpha source makes calibration of the
Y axis in keV per micron particularly simple. The source allows
collimated alpha particles to cross the detector on a diameter,
producing a peak in the pulse-height analyzer display. The peak
channel is characteristic of the average keV per micron expended
by the alpha particles in traversing the sphere. The alpha source
has a gravity-operated shutter mechanism that allows operation free
of unwanted alpha counts when desired.
Connection of the detector to an electrometer permits simple absorbed
dose measurements. Because of the tissue equivalent design the dose
measured will be rads-tissue. Very simple techniques will yield
sensitivities of 4 x 10-11 A/rad/ hr. Special guard ring construction
reduces detector leakage to 1 to 2 x 10-13 A at this multiplication.
(TE) Plastic Sphere: Wall thickness, 0.050 inch (0.127 Cm); inside
diameter, 0.500 inch (1.27 Cm); Shonka Type A-150 plastic.
Requirements: TE proportional counting gas; 5.25 cm Hg of TE gas
of density 1.062 g/liter corresponds to a cavity of I micron diameter;
gas must be made up of high purity components and be moisture free.
Bellows seal valve, Connector mates with Swagelok O-QC4-D-400
Suitable for use directly into a low noise preamplifier.
be applied directly to the input of an electrometer for absorbed
dose measurements and yields 4 x 10-" A/rad/hr. at 1200 V and
40 cm Hg TE gas pressure.
BNC Mates with BNC UG260 B/U or equal.
Requirements: Negative polarity, -450 volts at 2.6 cm Hg, -500 volts

How does steam generate power?
Making electricity from steam is generally a three step process, where water is converted to high pressure steam, then the high pressure steam is converted to mechanical rotation of a turbine shaft, and the rotating turbine shaft then drives an electric generator.
Which cycle is used for steam power plant?
The steam power stations run on Rankine cycles using steam as a working fluid. The simple ideal Rankine cycle is in fact the most basic vapor power cycle.
How does steam create high pressure?
Steam can be produced by burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, and releasing their chemical energy to heat the high-pressure liquid in the boiler tubes (water wall tubes, risers, down-comers, superheaters, and economizers).
Which cycle is used in steam power plant?
What kind of a process does a steam power plant?
5. What kind of a process does a ‘Steam Power Plant’ undergoes? Explanation: As the internal energy change in the ‘Steam Power Plant’ is ZERO. Hence, the entire plant obeys a Cyclic Process.
What are the main components of steam turbine?
The main parts of a steam turbine are (1) the rotor that carries the blading to convert the thermal energy of the steam into the rotary motion of the shaft, (2) the casing, inside of which the rotor turns, that serves as a pressure vessel for containing the steam (it also accommodates fixed nozzle passages or stator …
Who invented steam power plant?
The industrial use of steam power started with Thomas Savery in 1698. He constructed and patented in London the first engine, which he called the “Miner’s Friend” since he intended it to pump water from mines.
What is the temperature of steam?
The steam that exists at the same temperature as the water from which it is formed is known as saturated steam. In other words, saturated steam exists at approximately 100°C (212°F) at atmospheric pressure.
What are the 4 main components of a steam power plant?
It is the power plant which is used to generate electricity by the use of steam turbine. The major components of these power plants are boiler, steam turbine, condenser, and water feed pump.
What is steam power cycle?
In steam power plants and refrigeration cycles, the working fluid changes from liquid to vapour and back to liquid state. This succession of processes is called vapour cycle. In steam power plants, water is the working fluid in the form of steam and vapour.
How steam is distributed to turbine?
Steam leaves the boilers at the highest pressure required by the process units or electrical generation. The steam pressure is then reduced in turbines that drive process pumps and compressors. Most steam used in the refinery is condensed to water in various types of heat exchangers.
What is steam turbine made of?
The nickel-based blades are alloyed with aluminum and titanium to improve strength and creep resistance. The microstructure of these alloys is composed of different regions of composition.
What are the main parts of a steam turbine?
Why is steam so powerful?
This form of water is also called water vapor, and it’s very powerful stuff. This is because steam has a lot of energy. When you took the liquid form of water and heated it on the stove, you increased the energy in those water molecules. When you get energized, you move around a lot more than when you’re tired, right?

We’re comfortable admitting that it’s been some time since we left high school, but late summer will forever be “back to school” for us. And while our younger selves begrudgingly headed back to class, we now look forward to that first brush with fall. As the seasons turn, the air gets a little crisp and it starts to feel like a fresh start. Fresh thinking and new perspectives are the driving force behind our Emerging Designers program, which is launching online and exclusively in our Soho store this week (pardon us while we dance with delight). We’re always on the hunt for the next big thing, and we’ve struck gold with this year’s carefully curated collection of four brands; each bringing a unique voice and point of view to bring to the proverbial table—or lingerie drawer.
As a nod to the halcyon days of high school, we voted each designer a superlative that encapsulates her take on lingerie. “Biggest Flirt,” anyone? Or maybe “Best Dressed.” Stay tuned as we go behind the scenes with each talented designer, taking a look at their inspiration, their first lingerie love, and why they’re all head of the class.
Without further ado, we present the Emerging Designers Class of 2016: SIGNATURE by Marika Vera, Adina Reay, Violet + Wren and Rachel Marus.

Fire Department gets results of study
RIVERSIDE – The Riverside Fire Department announced last week that they were pleased by the results of a study performed by the Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) that showed Riverside has a good ability to suppress fire.
The analysis was performed June 3. The survey included a review of the village’s water supply system, the dispatch center’s capacity to receive and handle fire alarms and the department’s ability to mitigate fire losses.
The department was awarded a rating classification of 3. The rating scale ranges from one to 10, with a rating of 1 being superior fire protection and 10 not meeting the ISO’s standards.

The wooden cross weeps annually close to the anniversary of the Battle of Delville Wood. All sorts of myths and beliefs abound as to why the wooden cross made from a tree from Delville Wood - standing in Pietermaritzburg - starts to weep at this time of the year.
Two other crosses also made from trees from the wood, were brought back to South Africa but they do not weep. One went to the Castle in Cape Town and the other to the Cenotaph in Durban.
Entrance to the Castle (The Heritage Portal)
Lithograph of the Durban Cenotaph by Charles Ernest Peers
Some believe that the wood weeps for the fallen heroes who fought for their country during the Battle of Delville Wood in 1916.
There was also the belief that when the last survivor of Delville Wood died then the Cross would stop weeping - well it hasn't. A total of 2 416 soldiers from the South African Infantry Brigades were killed, wounded or recorded missing as a result of the battle of Delville Wood over the period of July 15 to July 20, 1916 - none of them are still alive. The unit had an effective strength of only 619 men at the end of this battle.
Delville Wood Cemetery (Wikipedia)
To date no proper explanation has been given as to why the cross weeps, this despite the cross having been examined by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the Forestry Department, and the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Extensive tests have been carried out since the 1970s on the resin and wood chips but both are normal. The wood is resinous Scotch pine, which was planted extensively in northern France from the 1890s.
There is no rational explanation as to why the pine cross oozes sap every year around mid-July. It oozes resin from both ends of the crossbar and for some years also down the vertical support, but this particular area ceased to ooze some years ago.
It is not normal for wood to continue producing resin all this time but scientists have speculated that it could be a result of the cold weather —which causes the wood to shrink, thus forcing resin out - 105 years later!
Another explanation is that of the low angle of the winter sun playing on the cross. However, this sun level is consistent for several weeks and the cross only weeps from 15 - 20 July each year.

This 3-year study attempted to design a program that would provide the optimum conditions necessary for schools, universities, and other agencies to try new practices and study their quality through research and evaluation; and in which creative, innovative teachers would be supported rather than frustrated. Innovations were introduced as effectively as possible in 26 schools; and the impact on the schools, the community, and on regional agencies was studied. The report is divided into (1) action and (2) research. The first section traces the project planning and operation from the time teachers introduced new practices until the regional model was conceived. The research section presents findings on the forces at work in the schools and in the community. (Author)

text: NEW CANAAN -- There is not supposed to be any crying in football, but try to convince those associated with the New Canaan High School program, where tears have run rampant of late. Joe Ditolla, the Rams' highly regarded defensive coordinator, recently announced that he was stepping down after 31 years with the team. "We went out to dinner and he told me," said Lou Marinelli, the team's head coach for the past 29 seasons. "He started to get emotional and we both started to cry in the middle of the restaurant." Senior Ryan Shullman, a 149-pound nose guard, recalled the feeling after learning that the person who helped mold him into a formidable player despite his size would no longer be around. "To be honest it was like waking up from a bad dream," Shullman said. "Everything we had been working on the past three years was building toward my senior season. I didn't want to believe it at first. We started talking about it and then crying about it." The reaction spurred by Ditolla's departure is not surprising. Ditolla has been one of the most respected assistants in the state -- the defensive coordinator since 1995 -- renowned for his schemes and motivational skills, while admired for the way, despite his credentials, he easily subjugated his ego to remain on a staff that felt as comfortable as well-worn jeans. There are countless examples of Ditolla's coaching prowess, the most recent of which occurred last fall, after the Rams, 8-0 at the time and ranked No. 1 in the state, saw its defense shredded by Bridgeport Central, 42-7. While doubts sprouted up across the state whether the Rams' record had been built with smoke and mirrors, the coaching staff took a bunker mentality and regrouped. The team rebounded to win its final three games, giving up just 20 points, including a 24-0 shutout of East Lyme to win its fourth straight state title. "Joe is the best teacher in the high school," Marinelli said. "I kind of had an inkling this was coming but I was keeping my fingers crossed." So why walk away, especially with the team positioned for another strong season? "I've probably been thinking about it for two years," Ditolla said. "I really would like to spend more time with my family, which has been so supportive. It's time to give an opportunity to some of the other guys, and to be honest, I am just tired. I don't know if it's burnout. It's just time." Ditolla's departure will bring to an end a rare era, in which a staff centered on a triumvirate of Marinelli, Ditolla and running backs coach Bo Hickey stayed together for three decades. The Rams have won eight state titles in their time together -- six since 2001 -- a testament to their ability to put together sound game plans for unfamiliar opponents in a short period of time. "Joe just always worked really hard at it," Hickey said. "He's a tireless worker and the biggest thing is he understood kids. He got the most out of what they were able to do physically and mentally. Joe is first of all a teacher and educator, and no matter what your sport, you are a teacher. Joe took that as far as anyone I've coached with." Just as the tears shed in recent weeks in a sport noted for grizzled toughness seemed incongruous, so to is the dual nature of Ditolla's personality. A special education teacher at the school -- he will remain in that position -- Ditolla is extremely soft-spoken and contemplative, a trait that would seem at odds with anyone who has seen some of his fiery speeches. Ditolla said both his jobs have similar requirements. "There is a lot of repetition and breaking things down in football, and it's the same in the classroom," Ditolla said. "A lot of things in the classroom center on motor memory. You just have to be more controlled in the classroom." Marinelli said no one enjoyed some of Ditolla's talks with his players more than he did. "He would give some to the defense before a game, and I would come in and listen and get motivated," Marinelli said. "He's out there emotional with the kids, and he's not afraid to show how he feels. With his passion, I've never seen a coach work so hard." Not surprisingly, Ditolla was also the Rams' linebackers coach, working with the players who are the signal-callers on defense. Ditolla's flexibility was one of his greatest qualities. "Playing linebacker, that's like being the quarterback on defense," Ditolla said. "They are usually gifted players. They have to be bright, have to read keys and have to be leaders. Sometimes they have to make the calls based on what they see formation-wise, in schemes go to checks. If they see a formation that warrants a specific defense, they make the call. Sometimes you can't see that from the sideline." Shullman, asked what he will miss most about Ditolla, could have been speaking for any of the players he coached. "One thing really stands out," Shullman said. "From the first day I met him to now, he was always there to help. He's been like a father figure. If you fall, he's there to catch you." Ditolla said he will not be making a complete break. He plans to attend games. His room at the school is just steps away from Marinelli's office. And he said he took comfort knowing that his job is now in the capable hands of Bill Kurtz, the former head coach at Westhill. Perhaps the biggest void will be the long film sessions, which served as a microcosm for what made his position so attractive, long periods spent preparing for the next opponent, spent in the company of Marinelli, Hickey and the rest of the staff. "When you think about it, I have to be crazy to leave the situation I'm in now," Ditolla said. "The only thing that concerns me about leaving is I won't be laughing as much as I have the last 31 years. They say laughter increases your life expectancy. We should be set."

Influenza (in-flu-EN-za), also known as “the flu,” is an illness caused by a virus. See the Helping Hand, Influenza (“The Flu”), HH-I-245. Some groups of people are at higher risk for serious cases of the flu. Or they may be working around others who are at high risk.
The Centers for Disease Control strongly recommend that these groups receive the influenza (flu) shot:
People who are allergic to eggs SHOULD NOT get this vaccine. Also, be sure to tell the doctor if your child has previously had a bad reaction to any shots.
There are two types of vaccine: Injections (shots) and intranasal (taken in through the nose). When there is enough vaccine supply, influenza vaccine should be given to any adult or child who wants it.
Antibiotic medicines will not work against the virus that causes influenza. However, your child’s doctor may prescribe new antiviral medicines to treat influenza or antibiotics to treat some of the bacterial complications of influenza. If your child has pain or fever, you may also give Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Do not give your child aspirin! Do not give ibuprofen (Motrin) to children younger than 6 months.
If you have any questions, be sure to ask your doctor or nurse.

Which administrative mechanisms are available to enforce the Directives?
• In Belgium, Directives 93/13 (Unfair Contract Terms), 98/6 (Price Indication), 1999/44 (Consumer Sales and Guarantees), 2005/29 (Unfair Commercial Practices), 2006/114 (Misleading and Comparative Advertising), and 2011/83 (Consumer Rights) are implemented by the Code of Economic Law in Book VI. The general administrative (technically speaking the provisions of Book XV set forth criminal procedure rules; the administrative peculiarity in Belgium is that they are exercised by an administrative entity - ADEI) enforcement of this Code, by virtue of its article XV.2, is handled by the Directorate General Economic Inspection (ADEI) (in Dutch: "Algemene Directie Economische Inspectie"; in French: "Direction Générale de l'Inspection Économique"), which is part of the Federal Public Service of Economy, SMEs, Self- employed and Energy (FPS Economy). The ADEI proactively enforces the consumer rights related provisions of the Code of Economic Law and is also competent for receiving administrative complaints. The general website of the ADEI can be found at http://economie.fgov.be.
• The Belgian implementation of Directive 2008/122 (Timeshare), despite not being included in the Code, is also enforced by the ADEI.
• Regarding violations of the Code of Economic Law's provisions on distance contracts (which stem from Directive 2011/83), article XV.11 of the Code confirms that, on top of the general competence the ADEI has in these matters, the Foodstuffs Inspectorate (FI) of the Federal Public Service of Public Health, Security of the Food Chain and Environment (FPS Public Health) is equally competent within the scope of its task of supervising trade of foodstuffs.
• Violations of Book VI of the CEL, which implements the aforementioned Directives, can, on top of the ADEI and according to Article XV.11 CEL, also be investigated by the Financial Services and Market Authority when the violations relate to financial services.
• A notable exception to the sweeping competence of the ADEI concerns the administrative enforcement of Directive 90/314 ("Package Travel Directive"), for which the Arbitration Commission on Travel (GR) is competent (in Dutch: "Geschillencommissie Reizen"; in French: "Commission de Litiges Voyages"). The GR provides an alternative to protracted litigation by offering an arbitration procedure and a conciliation procedure for disputes falling under the scope of the Package Travel Directive as implemented into Belgian law by the Act of 16 February 1994 regulating the package travel contracts and the travel intermediation contracts. The general website of the GR can be found at http://www.clv-gr.be/index_nl.html.
• Furthermore, the Injunction Directive was not implemented into Belgian law.
Who can file administrative complaints? Can investigations be initiated ex officio?
• The ADEI allows administrative complaints to be filed by every natural or legal person. There is no need to prove a legitimate interest. Investigations can be initiated ex officio.
• The FI is informed by customs services but may also initiate investigations when it has been informed in any other way of external features suggesting that foodstuffs or other products that are stored in a fictional, public or private warehouse or foodstuffs or other products meant for import may be spoiled, harmful, or have been declared harmful by the general management.
• 'Consumers' under the Act regulating the package travel contracts and the travel intermediation contracts (as defined by Directive 90/314) can file complaints in case of a dispute with a 'retailer' or 'organiser' under that same Act. No investigations can be initiated ex officio.
Do any specific procedural requirements apply to filing administrative complaints?
Do any specific procedural requirements apply to filing administrative complaints? • A contact point (https://meldpunt.belgie.be/meldpunt/en/welcome) for consumers and enterprises was developed and made available as of 22 February 2016. This largely automated tool allows people who wish to file a complaint to choose from a number of situations. After they have picked the problem they encountered, they are asked to answer a number of questions whereby the answer to a certain question, may influence the next step. The combination of answers given will result in an automated answer that is sent to the complainant immediately when he/she sends in his/her complaint. For people who do not wish to use the internet, it is still possible to send a complaint by normal letter. This is, however, less than 10% of the total number of complaints.
• No specific requirements related to the procedure before the FI apply.
• Regarding the procedure before the GR, complaints should be filed within one month of return from the journey or within one month from the anticipated departure date if the journey fell through. From that date onward, parties have four months to reach a compromise. Upon expiration of this period, a procedure before the GR may be brought. The conciliation procedure is only accessible if the GR standard terms and conditions were used. The arbitration procedure is accessible even if no such standard terms were used provided both parties in the dispute agreed to an arbitral compromise.
Do the administrative authorities have an obligation to investigate the complaint?
• Until December 2009, the ADEI investigated every complaint it received. However, as this consumed a lot of resources, the ADEI decided to launch a rationalisation programme, following the example of some other Member States. Although this rationalisation programme was only introduced in December 2009, it has already resulted in a dismissal of 40% of all complaints. Recently, the ADEI has also started to take into account the financial loss suffered by the complainant. If no financial loss, or only a very small financial loss, has been suffered, there is a high probability that the complaint will not be investigated by the ADEI.
• The FI is not obligated to engage in an investigation once it has been notified.
• The GR is impartial and will offer no advice. It merely provides the organisation of the two procedures.
Are there any specific requirements regarding the provision of evidence to the competent authorities?
• Under the general scheme before the ADEI, a competent official can require a trader to provide the evidence as to the accuracy of any statements disclosed in a commercial practice (article XV.16 and XVII.13 of the Code of Economic Law).
• No specific requirements related to the procedure before the FI apply.
• For a case to be admissible under either the arbitration procedure or the conciliation procedure in the context of the GR, it should include evidence of the complaint on site (if applicable), and evidence of the complaint upon return.
II. ENFORCEMENT THROUGH COURT ACTION
Which court actions are available to enforce the Directives?
Aside from a general claim for civil damages under article 1382 of the old Civil Code, three specific procedures present themselves:
A cease-and-desist procedure is provided by article XVII.1 of the Code of Economic Law for breaches of the provisions of all Belgian implementations of the Directives under scope. The procedure is handled by the President of the competent Business Court. Regarding breaches of the Code related to specific provisions on advertisement, in particular provisions stemming from Directives 2005/29 (Unfair Commercial Practices Directive) and 2006/114 (Misleading and Comparative Advertising Directive), the cease-and-desist procedure may only be aimed at the advertiser, provided he or she is a resident in Belgium or has appointed a representative in Belgium. Furthermore, for breaches of article 3(1), 6(1) and 6(2) of Directive 93/13 (Unfair Contract Terms), as implemented into Belgian law by articles VI.82-VI.89 and VI.37 of the Code of Economic Law, the cease-and-desist procedure may be aimed at multiple traders, respectively, at once.
• The second procedure is the intra-Community cease-and-desist procedure as set out in article XVII.26 and following. This procedure is similar to the regular cease-and-desist procedure in nature but has a cross-border effect. The procedure may be initiated in case of a breach originating in Belgium but with consequences in another Member State. The Business Court of Brussels is exclusively competent to hear these claims.
• The final procedure is the claim for collective redress as set out in article XVII.35 and following. This procedure is open to all contractual violations of businesses and violations of the Belgian legislations and European legislative measures listed in Article XVII.37 CEL. The aim of this procedure is to provide redress for a group of consumers who have suffered damage on account of the same cause. In that sense, it is akin to the class action lawsuit known to most common law legal systems. It applies a.o. to the Belgian implementation of all Directives under scope (see list in Article XVII.37 CEL) and is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Brussels. It can result in either a judgement or the court approval of a settlement.
Who can start a court action?
In a general claim for civil damages under article 1382 of the old Civil Code, anyone who has suffered damage has legal standing to initiate an action. Regarding the aforementioned special procedures, legal standing is granted through specific provisions of the Code of Economic Law:
• For the cease-and-desist procedure of article XVII.1, a claim may be filed by the (i) interested parties, (ii) competent minister or Director-General of the ADEI, (iii) a professional regulatory body, or a professional- or cross-sectoral association with legal personality, and (iv) an acknowledged consumer rights organisation.
• The qualified entities in other Member States may file an intra-Community cease-and-desist procedure of article XVII.26. In Belgium, qualified entities are acknowledged consumer rights organisations.
• The claim for collective redress may only be filed by a group representative as exhaustively defined in article XVII.39. These group representatives are: (i) an acknowledged consumer rights organisation with legal personality, (ii) a non-profit association with legal personality whose statutory purpose is directly correlated to the damage suffered by the group, and (iii) an autonomous public service but only for the purpose of representing the group in the pursuit of a settlement.
Can court actions be initiated by competitors?
In a general claim for civil damages, competitors may have legal standing if they have suffered damage. Regarding the specific procedures set out above, the following applies:
• For the cease-and-desist procedure of article XVII.1, competitors may be considered interested parties and may therefore initiate proceedings.
• Only qualified entities may file an intra-Community cease-and-desist claim. It is unlikely that competitors would be considered among them.
• No, the claim for collective redress cannot be filed by a competitor.
Can the case be handled through an accelerated procedure?
• The cease-and-desist procedure follows a procedure which is similar to the general interlocutory proceedings ("zoals in kort geding" - "comme en référé"). This means that the case can typically be decided in a short period of time, as the terms and the rules of procedure are similar to those of the general interlocutory proceedings. The short term is, however, not guaranteed, since urgency is not a requirement for filing a case under the cease-and-desist procedure. Although it is possible to use general interlocutory proceedings instead of the specific cease-and-desist procedure, it is generally advisable to the use cease-and-desist procedure, as the latter procedure was specifically introduced for countering infringements of the Code of Economic Law. Moreover, the cease-and-desist procedure is a procedure as to the merits.
• The same reasoning applies to the intra-Community cease-and-desist procedure.
• No accelerated procedure for the claim for collective redress is enshrined in the Code of Economic Law. That said, strict terms for the sequential steps in the procedure are included in the Code in order to expedite the procedure, both via the court or via settlement.
Are there any specific requirements regarding the provision of evidence to the court?
The Code of Economic Law does not contain any provision on this matter. The Belgian implementation of Directives 2008/122 (Timeshare Directive), 90/314 (Package Travel Directive), and 1999/44 (Consumer Sales Guarantees Directive), which are not included in the Code also do not provide any additional requirements.
Consequently, the general rules on evidence as laid down in the Belgian Judicial Code are applicable. According to article 871 of the Judicial Code, the court can order any party to disclose all evidence they dispose of. As of 1 November 2020, the new rules on evidence of Book 8 of the Civil Code apply, including specific evidence rules for businesses (Article 8.11 C.C.)
Are there specific procedural reliefs for consumers or consumer associations?
Neither the Code of Economic Law, nor the Judicial Code, nor the Belgian implementation of Directives 2008/122 (Timeshare Directive), 90/314 (Package Travel Directive), and 1999/44 (Consumer Sales Guarantees Directive) contain any provision on this matter.
What are the possible civil sanctions and remedies for the infringement of the provisions of the Directives?
The competent civil court can award damages in the framework of a claim for civil damages based on article 1382 of the old Belgian Civil Code. These damages, however, should be interpreted as an indemnifying measure rather than as a sanction. As is the case for most civil procedures under Belgian law, the Court can also order coercive civil fines, in order to ensure that the decision will be effectively complied with.
Furthermore, the competent court can also order the publication of the judgement (article XV.131). This procedure is only open for infringement of the provisions of the Code of Economic Law so that infringement of the provisions implementing Directives 2008/122 (Timeshare Directive), 90/314 (Package Travel Directive), and 1999/44 (Consumer Sales Guarantees Directive) cannot rely on this procedure.
Finally, where an unfair commercial practice leads to a contract being concluded with a consumer, that consumer can demand reimbursement of the sums paid within a reasonable period from the moment that the consumer was aware or should have been aware of the unfair commercial practice, without having to return the delivered product. (Article VI.38).
There is no link between the level of monetary fines and the trader's turnover.
What are the possible criminal sanctions for the infringement of the Directives' provisions?
Infringements of the Belgian implementations of the Directives under scope are punishable with several levels of criminal sanction. The criminal sanctions relevant to the Directives under scope include:
• A criminal fine ranging from 26 to 10.000 EUR for the infringement of:
o provisions on price indication (articles VI.3 until VI.7/2
of the Code of Economic Law);
o provisions on naming, composition and labelling (articles VI.8 until VI.10 of the Code of Economic Law);
o provisions on the indication of quantity (articles VI.11 until 16 of the Code of Economic Law);
o provisions on distance contracts (articles VI.45 until VI.63 of the Code of Economic Law);
o provisions on off-premises contracts (articles VI.64 until VI.74 of the Code of Economic
o provisions on unfair commercial practices (articles VI.95, VI.100 and VI.103, excluding articles VI.100, 12°, 14°, 16°, and 17° and articles VI.103, 1°, 2°, 8° of the Code of Economic Law).
• A criminal fine ranging from 250 to 10.000 EUR for the infringement of several provisions of the Act of 16 February 1994 (implementing Directive 90/314 (Package Travel)).
• A criminal fine ranging from 1.000 to 20.000 EUR for:
o not complying with a judgement handed down per the cease-and- desist procedure enshrined in the Act of 28 August 2011 (implementing Directive 2008/122 (Timeshare));
o purposefully hindering the persons named in article 27, §1 of the Act of 28 August 2011 in investigating and determining infringements of the Act; and
o intentionally, in person or via an intermediary party, partially or completely destroying, hiding or tearing publication posters as imposed by the Act of 28 August 2011.
• A criminal fine ranging from 500 to 20.000 EUR for the infringement of:
o article 4 of the Act of 16 February 1994 in bad faith (implementing Directive 90/314 (Package Travel));
o all provisions of the Act of 28 August 2011 (implementing Directive 2008/122 (Timeshare));
• A criminal fine ranging from 26 to 25.000 EUR for the infringement of:
o all provisions of book VI of the Code of Economic Law, excluding the infringements set out in articles XV.83, XV.85, XV.86, VI.104 and XV.126, where infringement is committed in bad faith;
• A criminal fine ranging from 26 to 25.000 EUR for:
o not complying with a judgement handed down per the cease-and- desist procedure enshrined in the Code of Economic Law; and
o intentionally, in person or via an intermediary party, partially or completely destroying, hiding or tearing publication posters as imposed by the Code of Economic Law.
The above monetary fines apply to both natural persons and legal persons.
• A criminal fine ranging from 500 to 100.000 EUR and an imprisonment of one year to five years for the infringement of certain provisions on misleading commercial practices, aggressive commercial practices, and pyramid schemes (articles VI.95, VI.100 and VI.103, excluding articles VI.100, 12°, 14°, 16°, and 17° and articles VI.103, 1°, 2°, 8° of the Code of Economic Law).
• Finally, the competent court can also order the publication of the judgement (article XV.131 of the Code of Economic Law).
There is no link between the level of monetary fines and the trader's turnover.
What are the possible administrative sanctions for the infringement of the Directives' provisions?
The Code of Economic Law provides for several statutorily enshrined administrative sanctions. The competent authorities are the administrative bodies (in particular the ADEI) set out above and the sanctions include:
• Per article XV.5, the competent authorities may seize goods which form the subject of an infringement of the Code, are used to infringe the Code, are used to create infringing goods, etc. This procedure is also open to infringements of the Act of 28 August 2011 (implementing Directive 2008/122 (Timeshare));
• Per Article XV.5/1, the competent authorities may remove the content or block access to online interfaces, or they may order the display of a warning. They may moreover order providers of internet and hosting services to block, limit or deactivate online interfaces. Operators of the registers of internet domain names can also be ordered to delete a registered domain name. This procedure is also open to infringements of the Act of 28 August 2011 (implementing Directive 2008/122 (Timeshare));
• Per article XV.14, an examining magistrate may order the communication technology user to cease the use of communication technology used for infringement. This procedure is also open to infringements of the Act of 28 August 2011 (implementing Directive 2008/122 (Timeshare));
• Per articles XV.16 and XV.27/5, the competent authorities may order proof of the material veracity of the evidence which the trader offers pertaining to a commercial practice;
• Per article XV.31, the competent authorities may issue a warning of a breach committed by a trader. This procedure is also open to infringements of the Act of 16 February 1994 (implementation of Directive 90/314 (Package Travel)); and
• Per article XV.61, the competent authorities may engage in drafting a settlement for certain infringements. This procedure is also open to infringements of the Act of 16 February 1994 and the Act of 28 August 2011 (implementing Directive 2008/122 (Timeshare)).
What are the contractual consequences of an administrative order or a judgment on an individual transaction under the Directives?
A cease-and-desist procedure will in practice be initiated by a competitor or the public prosecutor, who are not a party to the individual transaction with the consumer. The individual transaction will therefore not be affected by a cease-and-desist decision, since a judicial decision only produces effects between the parties to the procedure, in this case, the vendor and his competitor or the public prosecutor. Nevertheless, a procedure can also be initiated by the consumer who contemplates that the contract is void because he/she has concluded the contract with a mistaken consent. He/she will thus allege that this mistaken consent originates from inter alia error, fraud or violence. If a competent court concludes that the vendor has committed an infringement of a provision of the Code of Economic Law, the consumer will be able to prove the origin of his /her mistaken consent and thus his contract will be declared void.
Can authorities order the trader to compensate consumers who have suffered harm as a result of the infringement?
• Consumers have the possibility of filing a claim for civil damages, even when they did not initiate a cease-and-desist procedure before the Business Court. Such claim for damages is subject to the general rules of Belgian tort law (art. 1382 of the old Belgian Civil Code), which provide that an infringement of a legal provision (such as a provision of the Code of Economic Law, or any other Act that implements a Directive) constitutes a fault that can lead to damages, if a causal link with the loss is demonstrated. Although such claim for damages can be filed without having initiated the cease-and-desist procedure, it is nevertheless advisable to do so, because the Civil Court will be bound by the decision of the President of the Business Court. Hence, should the President of the Business Court find that the claimant has effectively suffered damages as a result of the infringement, the claimant will only have to prove the size of the damage when he/she files a claim for compensation before the Business Court.
• Furthermore, consumers may also rely on the abovementioned claim for collective redress to achieve compensation. This is on the condition that the consumer has been included in the group of harmed consumers created specifically for the purpose of tallying the parties requesting compensation.
Can the administrative authorities or the courts require the publication of their decisions?
The President of the Business Court can for all infringements of provisions in the Code of Economic Law that form an implementation of the Directives under scope order that his judgement (or a summary thereof) be published either on the inside or outside of the establishment of the infringer or in the newspapers, at the expenses of the infringer. (Article XV.131). The ADEI does not have the power to order the publication of its decisions.
IV. OTHER TYPES OF ENFORCEMENT
Are there any self- regulatory enforcement systems in your jurisdiction that deal with aspects of the Directives?
Belgium has several self-regulatory enforcement systems. The most relevant example, the Jury for Ethical Practices regarding Advertising ("JEP") pertains to unfair commercial practices and advertising (Directives 2005/29 and 2006/122) (in Dutch: "Jury voor Ethische Praktijken inzake Reclame"; in French: "Jury d'Ethique Publicitaire"). The JEP is a self-regulatory body established by the Council for Advertising (in Dutch: "Raad voor de Reclame"; in French: "Conseil de la Publicité"). At the request of advertisers, it gives preliminary advice on intended advertisements and investigates complaints against actual advertisements, in which case the JEP will recommend the advertiser to either change or stop the advertisement. It also acts at the request of, among others, consumers. The body of rules that the JEP uses to evaluate the advertisements includes both traditional rules (including the Code of Economic Law), and norms of good taste and decency (e.g., ICC-code on advertising). When the advertiser refuses to comply with the recommendations of the JEP, the JEP will request the Belgian media (newspapers, magazines, TV stations, …) not to broadcast the challenged advertisement. Since the majority of the media is affiliated with the Council for Advertising (of which the JEP is its executive and supervising body), the JEP has important moral authority. In practice, advertisers will therefore often comply with the JEP's recommendations.
Are there any out-of-court dispute settlement bodies available that deal with aspects of the Directives (e.g. mediation, conciliation or arbitration schemes ombudsmen)?
• Regarding the enforcement of the Belgian implementation of Directive 2005/29 (Unfair Commercial Practices Directive), the most relevant mediating services are the Ombudsman for Telecommunication and the Ombudsman of the Insurance Sector. Ombudsman for Telecommunication (Dutch: "Ombudsdienst voor Telecommunicatie"; French: "Service De Médiation Pour Les Télécommunications") The Ombudsman deals with complaints from consumers about their telecom provider. It formulates advice and tries to settle the dispute. In order to acquire a better understanding of the pending complaints, the Ombudsman can ask the telecom provider for any necessary information. Although the Ombudsman has important moral authority, it cannot impose any sanctions. Ombudsman of the Insurance Sector (Dutch: "Ombudsman van de verzekeringen" / French: "Ombudsman des assurances") This private body investigates complaints from consumers against an insurance company; mediates in order to facilitate a settlement; decides on issues regarding the application of the section "consumers" in the code of conduct of insurance companies and intermediaries; and provides advice and recommendations. Although this Ombudsman has important moral authority, it cannot impose sanctions. The web site www.ombudsman.be contains a list of some mediating and ADR services.
• The GR (http://www.clv-gr.be/) conciliation and arbitration schemes mentioned above also offer methods of alternative dispute resolution.
o Conciliation scheme: the procedure can only be initiated if both parties agree to it. The GR provides a mediation platform between the parties which, provided neither party abandons the procedure before completion, results in a settlement (in Dutch: "Dading"; in French: "Transaction"). This settlement may then be ratified by the court, which grants it res judicata and allows it to be enforced as a traditional judgement. The GR has no authority to impose sanctions of any kind and remains neutral throughout the procedure.
o Arbitration scheme: a retailer or organiser may never refuse the arbitration procedure for claims below 1.250 EUR. A consumer may at all times refuse to engage in arbitration in the capacity of defendant. If a party does not adhere to the outcome of the arbiter's
o ruling, a court order may be obtained in a simple procedure to give that arbiter's ruling power of res judicata and allows it to be enforced as a traditional judgement.
• Collective redress settlement scheme: upon engagement of the procedure, a group of harmed consumers is formed on the basis of different criteria depending on whether or not the consumers in question are habitual residents in Belgium. That group is then designated a representative. Upon the filing of the claim by the group representative, the admissibility of the claim is verified. Upon successful conclusion of the negotiations, the agreement is ratified by the court and granted power of res judicata which allows it to be enforced as a traditional judgement.
• Finally, the Consumer Mediation Service (in Dutch: "Consumentenombudsdienst"; in French: "Le Service de Médiation pour le Consommateur) provides a catch-all Ombuds service for all consumer disputes with traders. Where another, similar service takes precedence over the Consumer Mediation Service, it will transfer the file to that service. Its competences rangs from providing information on consumer rights and available legal options for consumers, to providing a platform for out-of-court settlement.
