Day: 6 December 2018

The Minister of State Serge Telle and the Prime Minister and Minister of State Xavier Bettel signed a declaration of intent allowing the opening of constructive exchanges between the services of the two administrations in the digital domain. 

This declaration is the result of discussions between the teams of the Information Technology Center of the Luxembourg State (CTIE), and the Interministerial Delegation for the Digital Transition Monegasque.  

Frédéric Genta, interministerial delegate for the digital transition accompanied by a delegation, went on December 6 to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to meet Xavier Bettel.

Frédéric Genta visited the Luxembourg Data Center, which is known for its “green IT”.

The Principality of Monaco and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg make the digital transition a priority to support the modernization of their administration and encourage innovation on their territory. 

The synergies and dynamic interactions resulting from new information and communication technologies are creating new challenges for our economies and societies.

Therefore, this partnership will enable the CTIE and the Interministerial Delegation for the Monegasque Digital Transition to organize a sharing of expertise and experimentation on future topics such as the dematerialization of administrative procedures, e-health, or setting up a digital identity for each resident.

The two states are also launching a study aimed at safeguarding sensitive data in a Luxembourg data center with guarantees of immunity and privileges similar to those of an embassy. Data from Estonia are already hosted in Luxembourg on the same model. 

It had become strategically important for the Principality to find a solution to preserve certain data against risks of cyber-attack or natural disaster, guarantees that it is impossible to implement on a territory of two square kilometers.

Luxembourg, a true trusted partner in Europe, also hosts sensitive data such as those of NATO or the European Union.

The two governments welcome the establishment of this partnership, which is fully in line with European programmes for cooperation on innovation and digital security. 

Xavier Bettel underlined that this partnership on digital innovation reinforces the role of Luxembourg as a digital trust center and confirms the progress of e-government in Luxembourg.

As is the tradition, Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children, was celebrated on December 6, 2018, on the Rock. The Monaco City Council honours the Monegasque tradition each year of giving treats to children of the Principality.

The celebration began with a Mass of the Monegasque traditions in the Cathedral of Monaco by Monsignor Fabrice Gallo, in the presence of Monsignor Bernard Barsi, Archbishop of Monaco and U Cantin d’A Roca.

Moments later, the children attending school in Monaco interpreted a skit from the legend of Saint Nicholas orchestrated by the National Committee of Traditions Monegasques.

To close the morning, the Mayor Georges Marsan and the elected André J. Campana, Henry Doria, Karyn Ardisson-Salopek and Claude Bollati gave the children in Allée Saint John Paul II a Saint Nicholas chocolate.

The meeting of the 17th day of L1 between AS Monaco and OGC Nice, initially scheduled this Friday, December 7, has been postponed to a later date.

Located on the Terrasses de Fontvieille, this remarkable exhibition brings together almost a hundred cars of all ages, produced by the top European and American manufacturers, as well as six coaches belonging to H.S.H. Prince Rainier III of Monaco.

In the late 1950s, Prince Rainier III, who was passionate about cars, began to collect vintage vehicles. Over the years, as acquisitions were made, the collection grew and very soon the garage at the Prince’s Palace proved too small to house the hundred or so beautiful cars, some sporty, others statuesque in silhouette, with their majestic bodywork, gleaming bonnets and regal grilles!

And so in 1993, Prince Rainier III decided to unveil his treasures to the public.

This exhibition, covering an area of 5,000 m2 and unlike anything else in the world, features a collection of some one hundred cars, from the 1903 DE DION BOUTON to the 2013 LOTUS F1, not forgetting makes and models such as HISPANO SUIZA, ROLLS ROYCE, LINCOLN, FACEL VEGA, DELAGE, DELAHAYE, PACKARD, HUMBER, NAPIER, FERRARI, MASERATI, LAMBORGHINI, ALFA ROMEO, the LEXUS from the 2011 Royal Wedding, and more. Also on display are race cars which have competed in the Rallye de Monte-Carlo and the Monaco F1 Grand Prix.

Exhibition of Ferrari vehicles at the Cars Collection of H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco, from 3 December 2018 to 15 March 2019.

Open daily from 10am to 6pm. (except 25 December).
