Finally Spain is starting to find it's way out of the crisis - will take years but at least this is a start

Mr Wert said Spain must learn from German best practice to improve skills.

"We want Germany to be our sherpa on this job training adventure," he told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper.

"We have 1.5 million university students and only 270,000 trade school students." He added that students were getting far more theory than practical experience, and that many lacked foreign language skills.

"Lord Browne is a director of fracking firm Cuadrilla."

He sure fracked BP!... :(

Cuts and safety record controversy
en.wikipedia.org

Browne is described by journalist and author Tom Bower as irresponsible for a "ruthless" programme of cost-cutting at BP that compromised safety, and thus the man most responsible for a string of major accidents including the Texas City Refinery explosion (2005) and the Deepwater Horizon explosion (2010). Bower also accuses Browne of tolerating only "sycophants" in his "corporate court", said to include Tony Hayward who succeeded him as BP Chief Executive.[23] Browne has rejected Bower's account, saying that he (Browne) increased the number of engineers appointed to BP.[24]

According to the Guardian newspaper, "Browne's reputation was tarnished by a string of accidents in the US which hastened his retirement", and Browne declined to appear in an hour-long BBC2 documentary on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in which Tony Hayward was extensively interviewed, broadcast in November 2010.[25]
