[Dawood Ibrahim]

Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander in Chief of Dubai Police, received the Guinness certificate from the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest police patrol in the world, using the Bugatti Veyron sports car, wam reported on Monday.

The ceremonies, on the sidelines of the 11th International Summit for the Best Police Applications, were attended by Major General Abdul Qoddous Abdulraziq Al Obaidly, Assistant of the Commander in Chief for Quality and Exceptionalism Matters, and a number of Dubai Police officers.

The speed of the Bugatti Veyron sports car, the fastest patrol car in the world, can reach 407 kilometres per hour at 1,000 horsepower, surpassing the previous police patrol record that was registered under a USA police force using a Lamborghini sports car, which reached a speed of 360 kilometres per hour.

Deploying the Bugatti Veyron is part of strengthening the Dubai Police's fleet of patrol cars, which include the following models: McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari FF, Mercedes SLS AMG, Roush Mustang, Bentley Continental GT, Audi R8 V01 Plus, Aston Martin One-77, Nissan GTR and Mercedes SL36 AMG. Also included are the BMW M6 Gran Coupe and Mercedes G36 AMG, modified by Brabus.


Dubai Police added the Bugatti Veyron to its fleet with the aim of strengthening the security presence of its policemen in important tourism spots, such as the Khalifa Tower, the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, JBR and others, as well as to intensify the interest about cars, machines and equipment, and to keep up with the highest international standards and new technological and scientific updates, which will contribute to improving security and promoting tourism in Dubai, the meeting point of culture and heritage.

Dubai to curb unhealthy cunsupmption.

The price of fizzy drinks and tobacco is about to go up. The Federal National Council last week approved a draft law setting up a legal framework for taxes and duties.

It is expected that fizzy drinks, energy drinks and tobacco are the goods that will be targeted by an excise duty that will be issued in the UAE before a broader value-added tax, VAT, is applied across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

It is clear that the unhealthy aspects of life are being targeted, both for the sake of revenue and for the sake of health, said an English language daily on Sunday.

"VAT and excise duties will change the behaviour of individuals, companies and countries. It is essential that the GCC apply it together, otherwise there is a risk that smuggling will increase.

"Companies will need to adjust. Tax and duties will represent an increased cost to them, a cost that they will initially have to pass on to their customers.

But over time, they may find different ways to source or produce their products, which may bring the price of producing the product down.

There is, naturally, no guarantee that consumers will see any reductions, but they might, particularly on products that are sensitive to price: companies are always keen to keep impulse purchases low, because otherwise consumers won’t buy so many," said The National.

The Abu Dhabi based daily added, "This will all feed into how the tax changes our behaviour.

For most, it will mean adjusting what goods they buy or in what quantities.

This is where this newspaper feels the greatest benefit will be felt. In terms of the tax on tobacco and fizzy drinks, there is already an obesity problem that affects children as well as adults.

Fizzy drinks, while not the sole cause, are a contributor to this, and many people, too many, get their regular hit of sugar through drinking them. Increasing the price should make consumers reduce their intake, assuming that, as mentioned above, companies don’t find ways to compensate and keep prices low."

"The same applies to tobacco. The dangers of smoking are well-known and the benefits of cessation well-documented.

Again, higher prices should be a deterrent. The experience of other countries has been that companies have not reduced prices after a tax rise on tobacco.

"The specific effects that the tax and duty changes have will be affected by market forces and psychology," the paper said.
