politics in austria

The politics of Austria take place in the framework of the federal parliamentary republic of
Austria, with a President as head of state, and a Chancellor as the head of government.
Governments, both local and federal, exercise executive power. Federal legislative power is
vested both in the Federal Government and in the two chambers of Parliament; the National
Council and the Federal Council. The Judiciary of Austria is independent of the executive and
the legislature.Since 1949 the conservative Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the centre-left
Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) have largely dominated the party-political
landscape of Austria.The ethnically and culturally heterogeneous nation state of Austria is one
of the many remnant states of Austria-Hungary, a vast multinational empire that ceased to
exist in 1918. The Austrian Republic was preceded by a constitutional monarchy, whose
legislative body was elected by, as The New York Times put it, "quasi-universal (male)
suffrage" for the first time in 1897.Austria's first attempt at republican governance, after the
fall of the monarchy in 1918, was severely hampered by the crippling economic costs of war
reparations required by the victorious Allies. Austria's First Republic (1918–1938) made some
pioneering reforms in the 1920s, particularly in Vienna, that served as models for the social-
welfare states of post-World War I Europe. However, the Republic gradually developed into
an Austrofascist dictatorship between 1933-1934 under Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, whom
Nazi party agents assassinated in 1934. The First Republic ended with the Anschluss into
Nazi Germany in 1938. Following the defeat of the German Reich in 1945 Austria resumed
its republican government, after fully restoring its independence.The beginning of the 21st
century marked, for Austria, a half-century of a stable government under a constitutional
federal republican system. It is governed according to the principles of representative
democracy and the rule of law.

ECONOMIC
IMPORT AUSTIRIA

Austria is one of Europe’s wealthiest nations, with a high income per head and relatively low
living costs. The most common language spoken is German.Austria is considered an easy
market for UK companies to do business in. If your product or service is successful in the UK,
there’s a good chance you could be successful in Austria.However, you must either have a
product new to the market, or be able identify reasons why an Austrian company should
switch suppliers if they’re in a relationship with a company supplying a similar product. The
majority of Austrian companies are in long-lasting supplier relationships so your product or
service must have unique selling points (USPs) or advantages if they are to have a strong
chance of finding market share.Although Austria is a small country, there are over 48 million
people living within a 250 mile radius of Vienna. The country is therefore an ideal starting
point for access into central and eastern European (CEE) markets.

ENVIRONMENT
WEATHER CLIMATE AUSTRIA

Austria, located in the European heartland, lies within a temperate climatic zone. Austria’s
landscapes include major and minor mountain ranges, hills and plains. Weather conditions
vary only slightly across the country, the lowland regions in the north and east have more
continental influenced conditions with colder winters and hotter summers with moderate
precipitation throughout the year. The southeastern areas of Austria have longer and warmer,
almost Mediterranean-like summers. In the western part of the country the influence of the
temperate Atlantic climate is felt more strongly. Consequently, this part is subject to less
extreme weather conditions; winters are usually mild and summers rather warm. The west is
also characterized by high precipitation. The diversity of topographical and climatic
conditions results in a very versatile flora and fauna.The geographic features in the more
mountainous regions of the country have given rise to yet another climate zone, the Alpine
climate, which causes winters to be colder than at lower altitudes. Temperatures depend
largely on altitude, with averages 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) lower for each
additional 985 ft (300 m) of elevation. The country’s highest mountain is the Grossglockner
(3,797m or 12,457 ft). Be aware that whatever the season, if you're at a high altitude, the
weather can change quickly and dramatically.

Temperatures
The coldest month in Austria is usually January. The winter snow cover lasts from late
December through March in the valleys, from November through May at about 5,905 ft or
1,800 m, and becomes in many years permanent above about 8,202 ft or 2,500 m.
Temperatures begin to rise again in February. In March, temperatures may rise up to 54
degrees Fahrenheit (12 degrees Celsius). Summers can be hot, with temperatures sometimes
reaching 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) or more (maximum temperatures revolve
around around 95 degrees Fahrenheit or 35 degrees Celsius in July). Summer evenings are
usually cool.

Precipitation
Precipitation is quite evenly distributed over the entire year. However, the months May,
September and the first half of October tend to be the driest; April and November tend to be
the wettest periods.Again, altitude determines the precipitation pattern; while high-level areas
in the Alps may have a high average rainfall in excess of 2000 mm per year, while some
regions in the flatlands of Austria have only 600 mm annually. From June through August,
rain usually comes in the form of sometimes heavy thunderstorms, these storms can bring
heavy hail and snowfall in the mountainous regions of the Alps, even in summer.

Required clothing
Lightweights with rainwear for summer, waterproof Medium- to Heavyweights for winter. A
sweater is necessary almost any time of year.
Koeppen-Geiger Classification
The climate of Austria can be classified as Cfb Climate; a warm temperated humid climate
with the warmest month lower than 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) over average
and four or more months above 50 (10 degrees Celsius) over average. The climate of the
Mountainous Regions of Austria can be classified as Dfb Climate; a humid snow climate with
the warmest month between 50 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit (10 – 22 degrees Celsius), the
coldest month below 26 degrees Fahrenheit (-3 degrees Celsius) and at last four or more
months above 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius).

TECHNOLOGY
Austria is a federal republic and a landlocked country of over 8.7 million people[1] in Central
Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Hungary and
Slovakia to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the
west. The territory of Austria covers 83,879 km2 (32,386 sq mi).Austria is the 12th richest
country in the world in terms of GDP (Gross domestic product) per capita has a well-
developed social market economy, and a high standard of living. Until the 1980s, many of
Austria's largest industry firms were nationalised; in recent years, however, privatisation has
reduced state holdings to a level comparable to other European economies. Labour
movements are particularly strong in Austria and have large influence on labour politics. Next
to a highly developed industry, international tourism is the most important part of the national
economy.

In technolgy sector in austria state, we can use container to export our goods to the country.
This is because the container used can store our goods with a large quantity. this is because
the product of the form used to sell jeruk Pak Ali using versatile palstic bags and plastic
containers that will not get in the wind. This design has been designed using the latest
technology and has studied the weather there. We have upgraded the packaging to ensure our
sales there will get a higher market rate. The innovation we have been doing is to ensure that
Pak Ali's oranges get a more festive welcome in the country of austria. And we hope our
views will be welcomed warmly in the country
