We are also interested in studying the representation of fibring in logical frameworks, by capitalizing on the theory of general logics [15] Finally, future work must also cover transfer results for other relevant properties, like decidability, complexity or interpolation. ....

The main result proven here, is that these systems are, using the terminology of [4] weakly congruential, namely, they have an in nite system of congruence 1formulas.

One should note that strictly speaking, Blok Pigozzi s theory does not apply to these systems since they contain an in nitary rule of inference and thus, there are in nite proofs, in the terminology of [3], they are not standard. Nevertheless, the methods developed there can be extended to arbitrary systems through the intrinsic characterization of algebraizable deductive systems via the Leibniz equality function. See Theorem 4.2 of [3] It should be noted that Herrman in [8] does this ....
