The Socceroos

vs.

Germany

Sunday, 13 June 2010

Kick-Off 8.30 p.m.

It's a game no Australian or German should miss!

Bearing in mind the day and time of the match (and the fact that it should not be missed), ABIE Germany has organized two alternative events in different locations (Frankfurt and Bonn) with the aim of catering for different member needs.  All you need to decide is whether you would prefer a drink at the pub, or a sausage with the kids (and adults).

Event 1 - The Pub

ABIE, together with Austrade, are joining our friends at Ozkonnekt to view the match in Frankfurt.  The beer will be flowing, the corks will be popping, the crowd will be sitting, standing, jumping and cheering at:

Yours Australia Bar

Rahmhofstraße 2

60313 Frankfurt am Main

from 7.00 p.m.

RSVP 31 May 2010

Event 2 - The Barbie

ABIE's Chairman is also kindly offering his home near Bonn to view the match.  The sausages will be sizzling, the beer and wine will be flowing, the crowd will be sitting, standing, jumping and cheering, at:

Daniel Lawlor's Residence

Bernsteinstr. 5

53757  Sankt Augustin

from 5.00 p.m.

RSVP 31 May 2010

Australien ist eines der wichtigsten Länder der Asien-Pazifik Region und ein klassisches Importland, in dem deutsche Unternehmen seit Jahrzehnten Erfolge verzeichnen. Es belegt Platz 14 der BIP-Weltrangliste aufgrund reicher Rohstoffvorkommen und einer hochentwickelten Dienstleistungswirtschaft. Doch der fünfte Kontinent ist kein homogener Markt, der Aufbau eines landesweiten Vertriebssystems ist daher, trotz guter Infrastruktur, nicht immer ganz einfach.

Neuseeland ist für viele der Inbegriff von unberührter Natur, traumhaften Stränden und entspanntem Lebensstil. Gleichwohl hat sich der Inselstaat zu einer international wettbewerbsfähigen Volkswirtschaft und einem solidem Standort für ausländische Investoren entwickelt.
Mittelständischen deutschen Unternehmen bieten sich in Australien und Neuseeland eine Vielzahl interessanter Ansatzpunkte und Marktnischen.
Wir laden Sie ein, sich über die aktuelle wirtschaftliche Situation und die Marktchancen in Australien und Neuseeland zu informieren. Die Vertreter der AHK Australien und der AHK Neuseeland stellen in einem Kurzvortrag die Märkte vor und bieten anschließend individuelle Beratungsgespräche an.

Termin: Donnerstag, 10. Juni 2010 von 14 bis 16 Uhr

Einzelgespräche vor oder nach dem Round-Table mit Terminvereinbarung
Referent: Markus Gilbert, Geschäftsführer der Deutsch-Australischen IHK, Sydney
Monique Surges, Geschäftsführerin AHK Neuseeland
Teilnahme: kostenfrei
Anmeldung: bis 2. Juni 2010

The Board of ABIE Germany is pleased to invite you to the next ABIE event namely a tax planning seminar to be followed by the AGM to be held on Tuesday, 23 March 2010 at the ADINA hotel, Wilhelm-Leuschner-Strasse 6, 60329 Frankfurt a.M.

The AGM will cover matters relevant to the past year including the Chairman's Report, the Financial Report, the election of Board members and the future strategy.

If you have some ideas that you would like to discuss at the AGM, would like to participate more directly in ABIE, or would like to stand for election to the ABIE Board, please let us know in advance in writing.

The AGM is scheduled to commence between 8 - 8:30 pm, depending upon when the tax seminar concludes.

The purpose of the tax seminar event is to provide useful tax information to Australian expatriates residing here in Germany and also to Germans having assets in Australia. Many ABIE members have, or will have, assets in both countries.
Special rules apply to the taxation of property and other assets situated outside of Germany. Inheritance is another issue that would be of direct interest to ABIE members. The seminar will be given by the leading firm Erkens Gerow Schmitz Zeiss. The seminar held last year in Düsseldorf was highly rated by ABIE members and guests.

ABIE members and guests are invited to submit questions in advance. This will allow sufficient time for answers to be prepared.
The seminar will commence at 6 pm and have duration of approximately 60 - 75 minutes, followed by questions.
Complimentary drinks and finger food will be served.

If you would like to attend on the 23 March 2010, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or send a fax using the attached sheet as soon as possible, so that we can make all arrangements.

Best regards,
Daniel Lawlor, on behalf of the ABIE Board
