Besa Agreement 2018

The normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, negotiated by the United States, was quickly followed by a similar agreement between Serbia and Kosovo, as well as an Israel-Bahrain agreement. The Trump administration has momentum, while continuing to work on reformulating formerly combative relations. The perception of Israel vs. Arab is rapidly changing into an Arab-Israeli versus Iranian perception, and this dynamic will create new alliances on both sides. It includes the ability for employers to pay tax-free travel and accommodation for workers, in consultation with HMRC, without the administrative complications that are normally associated with this practice The Sevres Agreement (10 August 1920), which divided the territories of the defeated Osman Empire, bypassed, among other things, the border between the newly born Turkish state and its northeastern neighbours, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The agreement was not in favour of Turkey, which had lost the Kars region at the cost of Christian domination (Georgia and Armenia). Employers` requests for the application, interpretation or implementation of the agreement can be addressed to any member of the besa team for employment and qualifications, e-mail: employmentaffairs@thebesa.com; or by telephone one of the department`s staff relations advisors. The NATIONAL operational agreement BESA defines the social benefits and pension contributions needed for workers covered by the agreement. Welplan is the preferred provider for the provision of social benefits. The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), which represents employers in the sector, has agreed with the Unite union to increase rates by 2.5% per hour from October 2018, followed by a further increase of 2.75% from October 2019. Bobcat has entered into a licensing agreement with the Italian manufacturer of magni telescopic chargers for rotating telescopic chargers.

However, due to Armenia`s lack of political stability (PM Sersh Sargsian, 23 April, 2018 after widespread public protests against the continuation of the military conflict with Azerbaijan for Nagorno-Karabakh [Artsakh]), the real political attitude focused on the affairs of the majority parties in the Armenian National Assembly (the Republican Party had 2 49.17% of the vote in the 2017 elections and the Zarukjan bloc had 27.35%, compared to 6.58% for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation), and the new influence of the Moscow Federation, it seems unrealistic to wait for the request to revise the Kars agreement, which has its own interest in promoting relations with Turkey. The social benefits that will come into force from 3 October 2016 are defined in the four-year operational wage agreement, in two phases, 2016-2020, phase 1: both sides have described the process as “positive and constructive” by confirming the second phase of the four-year national operational work allowance.
