Beethoven's "gift" to Ljubljana comes out in facsimile edition
LJUBLJANA - The Ljubljana Academy of Music published a facsimile of a copy of Ludwig van Beethoven's manuscript of Symphony No. 6 containing the composer's handwritten corrections, allegedly Beethoven's present to the Philharmonic Society in Ljubljana in gratitude for being admitted as its honorary member in 1819. Kept by the National and University Library (NUK), the Ljubljana copy of the Pastoral Symphony is one of the two preserved copies of Beethoven's autograph score. The English-Slovenian facsimile edition was launched in Ljubljana on Friday.
Lafarge planning to resume operations in Trbovlje
TRBOVLJE - Delo reported that Lafarge Cement, the Slovenian subsidiary of the Switzerland-headquartered multinational LafargeHolcim, asked for an environmental permit to resume cement grinding, storage and dispatch in Trbovlje at the beginning of next year. In February 2015 Lafarge Cement suspended operations, due to a ban following a loss of an environmental permit. Eko Krog, the environmental NGO that has been fighting the company for years, fears it might try to use the permit for other purposes.
Marifarm aiming to make own medicines
MARIBOR - The Maribor-based pharmaceutical company Marifarm is gradually implementing its strategy of becoming a drug manufacturer instead of just packaging drugs. So far, it has been manufacturing drugs for other pharmaceutical companies, but Marifarm plans to enter the market with its own drugs. The company was privatised in 2016, being acquired by Arterium International, a company registered in Amsterdam, which invested over EUR 11 million in three years. In August the ownership passed to the Vienna-based Aquer GMBH group, while Arterium International remains Marifarm's strategic partner.
Notary fees go up for first time in decade
LJUBLJANA - Notary fees rose slightly today for the first time in more than a decade. Some of the notary fees have not been adjusted to inflation since 2002 and have also gone down several times. The rise has been agreed in intensive talks between the Notary Chamber and the Justice Ministry. For example, the fee for verification of signatures on a contract worth up to EUR 4,590 rose by a euro to EUR 6. The cost of compiling a contract worth between EUR 114,750 and EUR 367,200 went up from EUR 275 to EUR 314.

PORTOROŽ - McCann Worldgroup was declared the most successful agency network for the forth consecutive year as the 26th Golden Drum festival came to a close in Portorož on Friday night. Milan-based Publicis Italy took the Golden Rose for the best advertising agency and SOK Media from Helsinki won the Golden Dragon Award for the best independent advertising agency. The two-day festival, hosted by the Slovenian Advertising Agency, attracted around 1,000 visitors.
