Libya, qaddafi sure: "48 hours and it will be over"

Land brigades led by Khamis Libyan Gaddafi, son of Colonel Muammar, came this morning in the city of Misurata: up to now reported 5 dead and 11 wounded. According to reports from the al-Arabiya satellite television, the brigade consists of about 40 tanks that have already entered the southern and western outskirts of the city. Loyalist forces also are close to Benghazi stronghold (hard bombings indicate, in fact, near the airport). The other son Seif Gadhafi announced that "within 48 hours will be over, so any decision was taken on the 'no-fly zones,' arrive too late."

Frattini: "COLD BLOOD TO NEW LIBYA - The clash between troops and rebel anti-Saddam regime is therefore coming to a crossroads:" The Cyrenaica is again almost entirely in the hands of Tripoli, "said Minister Foreign Affairs Franco Frattini, the hearing before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament. "We must keep a cool head and follow what the international community has decided not favoring war and political processes that lead to the evolution of a new Libya." Frattini did not spare criticism of the international community: "Italy was the first and only European country to deliver aid in Benghazi. We have not seen many other flags of countries that had reported strong support in opposition of Benghazi. The city exudes the feeling of an international community that has done great ads that have not been turned into great things. "

PRODUCTION OF OIL IS SUSPENDED - In response to the ongoing civil war in Libya, Eni has discontinued the production of oil in the North African country. The CEO Paolo Scaroni said on the sidelines of a hearing in the House. The decision came after "problems in shipments." Eni's Scaroni continued, when "producing gas for local people, for home use. We have three plants in the area of ​​Tripoli. This is an important activity for local people. We are also working to make this activity exempt from sanctions that might take the United States, European Union and Italy. So we are in contact with Mrs. Clinton, with Mrs. Ashton and Frattini. If this task should not be considered legitimate would we not more, but we must be aware that unless the do much of Libya off the light, "said Scaroni. The manager has however stressed that "there are" Absolutely compromise relations with Libya. We maintain relationships with the National company which is our natural partner. "

THE NO-FLY ZONE - And while the situation in Libya continues to be dramatic, will meet again this morning members of the UN Security Council to discuss the situation in the country, a day after supporters of a no-fly zones have introduced a draft resolution to halt the advancing forces of Colonel. The plan was submitted by Lebanon, the only Arab member of the Council, on behalf of the Arab League. The latter had requested the imposition of air traffic control, supported by France and the United Kingdom, which had outlined the elements of a resolution for the no-fly zone last week already. But while Paris and London to urge swift action, Russia and Germany have voiced doubts. For Tarhouni, the sanctions imposed on the Rais will not be enough to stop him. Skepticism about the no-fly zone also comes from the same Libyan rebels: "I think it's a shame the cowardly position taken by the Western world, especially the United States, which present themselves as defenders of democracy and human rights." It 'hard to comment Tarhouni Ali, leader of the insurgents and member of the Petroleum Economy and the Provincial Council constituted in eastern Libya. "We are not asking much, just the creation of a no-fly zone." The attitude of U.S. President Barack Obama, in his opinion, is in "stark contrast" with the statement made in 2009, delivered a historic speech to Muslims in Cairo. "Obama made an appeal for democracy and freedom and now the least I can do is support the no-fly zone - he said - The blood of the Libyan people is not cheap, we pay it is expensive."

Contrary to what reported by others in the industry during 2010, DiaSorin has not been affected by the downturn in the sector, and recorded financial results showing a strong improvement over the previous year, reflecting the goodness of the strategic choices implemented in the recent past .
In fact, in 2010 the Group reported revenues of 404.5 million euros, up 33.0% on 2009 (28.9% at constant exchange rates) thanks largely to:
1) the sale of products whose CLIA turnover grew by 37.8% in 2010;
2) continuing expansion of the installed base Liaison on 31 December 2010 has reached 3,641 units, an increase of 666 new placements compared to 2975 on 31 December 2009;
3) the strengthening of its market share in areas where the company has a direct presence in history, expanding into markets where in the recent past has been replaced in the commercial network owned by independent distributors with a sales network, and enhancing distribution of trade agreements in certain strategic areas of South America and the Pacific;
4) the continuous enrichment of the menu of products Liaison, which in recent years has come to be one of the largest commercially available, but above all the richer segments of specialty clinical test of interest;
5) the continued expansion of the market for vitamin D not only on U.S. territory, but also in major European countries.
6) the sale of products Murex, representing 23.0 million Euro in 2010, which includes the first allocation of stock to distributors Abbott sent to 3.0 million euros, and net of distribution fee approved for Abbott 1.4 million euros.
Also during fiscal year 2010 revenue growth is matched by a more than proportional improvement of the main indices of profitability in 2010 ended with a gross margin of 284.7 million euros, up 33.3% on 2009, now comprise 70.4% of sales, compared to 70.2% in 2009.
On these results it should be noted that the sale of the first allocation of storage needed to distribute products through Murex Abbott led the gross margin for the year negative impact of 0.5 percentage points. With regard to operating expenses during 2010 increased in a less than proportional to sales growth, so the impact on sales has increased from 34.7% in 2009 to 32.3% in 2010.
Also during the year 2010 the Group continued to pursue its policy of investment in R & D, with expenditure increasing by 20.3% over 2009. Have been capitalized expenses for development activities amounted to EUR 1.9 million, while they have been expensed to operations research and development costs amounted to 18.6 million euros, of which 4.6 million relating to costs registration of marketed products and on compliance with quality requirements. The incidence of general and administrative expenses on sales decreased from 10.6 percentage points to 10.3 in 2010.

These reclassifications did not result in impacts on equity and profit for 2009 In particular, remaining within the framework of the acquisition of the product line Murex, in 2010, costs have been accounted for in the accounting and legal advice which should be added costs of an extraordinary nature relating to the reorganization of the production site in Dartford (above) for a total of 5.7 million.
Excluding these non-recurring costs, the EBITDA margin of EBIT and EBITDA at the end of 2010 would be respectively equal to 37.4% and 42.7%. With regard to financial management, 31 December 2010, net financial expenses amounted to 585 thousand euros compared to 2.7 million in 2009. The difference between the two values ​​is mainly due to exchange gains recorded by the parent company of dividends received from the U.S. subsidiary. There has been 929 thousand in fees on factoring transactions (1.1 million euros in the same period in 2009), 810 thousand of interest on pension funds (868 in the same period of 2009), 634 thousand of interest on loans to banks and leasing companies and income of 296 thousand euros relating to the fair value of contracts for the sale of dollars.
