Socolie l'heure des r serves
Article Abstract:
In 1997, the Socolie, the Li ge based co-operative public electricity company, reported profits of BFr 756.6mn, up from the 1996 figure of BFr 613mn. The rise in profits is partially due to the reduction in financial charges, and the putting in order of previous operations. Thanks to this rise in profits, the Socolie was able to restore its reserves with BFr 180mn. The company now intends to participate in co-generation activities in Wanze, Belgium, and also in biogas valorisation in Hallembaye, Mont-Saint-Guilbert and Engis, Belgium. Finally, the Socolie has decided to postpone certain investments as it awaits the opening of the electricity market.

Article Abstract:
The General Association of the Medication Industry in Belgium has carried out a survey of the foreign trade for pharmaceutical products from 1980 to 1997. During this period, Belgian exports of pharmaceutical products have increased nine-fold. In 1997, these exports represented about 2.74% of Belgium's total exports compared with 1.04% in 1980. The balance of trade, which was barely surplus in 1980 reached BFr 45bn in 1997. This development is due mainly to the good results of the Belgian production units representing the principal production centres and the entire line of their respective groups.
