  • Explanatory Memorandum to the Competition Act 1998
    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO THE COMPETITION ACT 1998 (PUBLIC POLICY EXCLUSION) ORDER 2007 2007 No. 1896 1. This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Department of Trade and Industry and is laid before Parliament by Command of Her Majesty. 2. Description 2.1 The Order excludes agreements between two or more members of Team CW or between a member of Team CW and any other person together with conduct by a member of Team CW from the prohibitions contained in Chapters I and II of the Competition Act 1998 provided certain conditions, as to the purpose and effect of the agreement or conduct, are satisfied. 3. Matters of special interest to the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments None. 4. Legislative Background 4.1 Paragraphs 7(1) and (2) of Schedule 3 to the Act provide that the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that there are exceptional and compelling reasons of public policy, by order, exclude agreements of a particular description either generally or in specified circumstances from the Chapter I prohibition. Paragraph 7(4) enables the Secretary of State, if satisfied that there are exceptional and compelling reasons of public policy, to disapply the Chapter II prohibition from conduct in particular circumstances. 4.2 The Chapter I and II prohibitions are modelled on and can apply in parallel to the prohibitions in Article 81(1) and Article 82 of the EC treaty in cases where there is an effect on trade between Member States. No inconsistency between EC and domestic competition law will result from this order because the competition provisions of the EC Treaty are disapplied by virtue of Article 296(1)(b) which provides that the provisions of the Treaty shall not preclude the application of the rule that “any Member State may take such measures as it considers necessary for the protection of the essential interests of its security which are connected with the production of or trade in arms, munitions and war material”.

Analysis of Models Applicable to USAN* Eduardo Munhoz Svartman Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Anderson Matos Teixeira Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil The creation of the Union of South American Nations (USAN) aroused expectations about joint development and production of military aircraft in South America. However, political divergences, technological asymmetries and budgetary problems made projects canceled. Faced with the impasse, this article approaches features of two military aircraft development experiences and their links with the regionalization processes to extract elements that help to account for the problems faced by USAN. The processes of adoption of the F-104 and the Tornado in the 1950s and 1970s by countries that later joined the European Union are analyzed in a comparative perspective. The two projects are compared about the political and diplomatic implications (mutual trust, military capabilities and regionalization) and the economic implications (scale of production, value chains and industrial parks).

Changes to UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) this year include a new section on Defence Inflation and an expanded International Defence section in Chapter 1, the restructuring of the Armed Forces Personnel section in Chapter 2, and a new section on Amputations in Chapter 3. UK Defence Statistics (UKDS) is a National Statistics publication, produced according to the standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice. However some of the tables in UKDS do not have National Statistics status – some are produced by areas outside of the scope of the Government Statistical Service; some do not yet meet all the quality standards of the Official Statistics Code of Practice; and others have not gone through the required assessment process to be classed as National Statistics. All such tables are clearly marked with explanatory notes. This year UKDS is once again being issued as a web document only, due to financial constraints within the Ministry of Defence. Each table and chapter is available in pdf format which is suitable for printing. There is also a pdf version of the entire publication, and of the UKDS factsheet. We have ceased publication of the UKDS pocket cards this year, since they are of limited value in electronic format.

  • Integrated Helicopter Survivability
    Cranfield University Nicholas G. Law Integrated Helicopter Survivability Aeromechanical Systems Group Cranfield Defence and Security PhD DSTL/PUB36228 Cranfield University Cranfield Defence and Security Aeromechanical Systems Group PhD 2011 Nicholas G. Law Integrated Helicopter Survivability Supervisor: Prof. Kevin Knowles May 2011 © Crown copyright 2011. Published with the permission of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory on behalf of the Controller of HMSO. DISCLAIMER Any views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Dstl, MOD or any other UK government department. ABSTRACT A high level of survivability is important to protect military personnel and equipment and is central to UK defence policy. Integrated Survivability is the systems engineering methodology to achieve optimum survivability at an affordable cost, enabling a mission to be completed successfully in the face of a hostile environment. “Integrated Helicopter Survivability” is an emerging discipline that is applying this systems engineering approach within the helicopter domain. Philosophically the overall survivability objective is ‘zero attrition’, even though this is unobtainable in practice. The research question was: “How can helicopter survivability be assessed in an integrated way so that the best possible level of survivability can be achieved within the constraints and how will the associated methods support the acquisition process?” The research found that principles from safety management could be applied to the survivability problem, in particular reducing survivability risk to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). A survivability assessment process was developed to support this approach and was linked into the military helicopter life cycle. This process positioned the survivability assessment methods and associated input data derivation activities.

  • UNICAMP PRESS RELEASE English V8
    Partnership between Airbus Group and Unicamp will set up a unique centre of competence for composite structures in Brazil • New aircraft have significant amounts of composite (ie non metal) parts which require sophisticated techniques for repair • This new university position will be the first of its type in Latin America • Demonstrates Airbus Group’s ongoing commitment to Brazil São Paulo, April 27th - Airbus Group will partner with Unicamp (State University of Campinas), and the French Consulate in São Paulo to create an industrial chair at the university, to investigate the Dynamic behavior of composite structures. Within the French-Brazilian Chairs Program in the State of São Paulo, the new chair will be hosted by the department of Mechanical Engineering of Unicamp and coordinated by Professor Alberto Luiz Serpa. Dr Ana Cristina Galucio, an expert in composites at Airbus Group Innovations, has been appointed as an associate researcher of Unicamp for the program through to December, 2015. Brazilian born, Dr Galucio has been working with Airbus Group Innovations since 2006. The chair will study the dynamic behavior of composites used in aerospace structures. This pioneering work – unique to Latin America - will stimulate research and development projects, and help qualify students and professionals in one of the most advanced areas of aeronautical technology, applicable to aircraft, helicopters and satellites. “Airbus Group has a proven expertise in research partnerships with universities worldwide. This new chair will stimulate worthwhile projects and research, and represents our ongoing contribution to the Brazilian aerospace sector, demonstrating our commitment to the country and the long term development of its industry”, confirmed the President of Airbus Group in Brazil, Bruno Gallard.
