    t CONSUMER PRICE INDEX RAPID INFORMATION THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX IN FEBRUARY 1985 The consumer price index for the EC as a whole rose by 0.6 %between January and February 1925. This was the second consecutive month in which the increase was higher than the monthly average increase durinr 1984. These increases are largely attributable to higher prices for fresh fruit and vege­ tables, caused by the weather in these two months and to rises in prices of oil pro­ ducts invoiced in Dollars, for which the exchange rates went up sharply during this period. The rates of increase by country in February are as follows: Netherlands 0.3 %, Germany (FR) 0.4 %, France 0.5 %, Luxembur~ 0.6 %, Denmark 0.7 %, United Kingdom 0.8 %, Belpium 1.0 %, Italy 1.0 %. Only Greece reported a slight decrease (-0.2 %), resulting entirely from the winter sales of clothing and footwear. The quarterly index for Ireland went up by 1.9 %between mid-November 1984 and~ February 19E5, which means an average increase of about 0.6 %per month. The inflation rate for this country over 12 months (February 1985 compared to February 1934) is 6g2 %, whereas this figure was 10.2 %in February 1984, 12.5 %in February 1923 and 1 .9 %in February 1982. For the Community as a whole, the infla.tion over-the-year as measured by comparing the CPI for February 1985 with that for February 1984 stood at 5.6 %, remaining thus the same as the average rate for 1984. For the individual countries these rates are as follows: Germany (FR) 2.3 %, Netherlands 2.3 %; United Kingdom 5.4 %, Belgium 5·4 %, Denmark 5.4 %, Ireland 6.2 %, France 6.4 %, Italy 9.0 %, Greece 18.6 %.

The Chesapeake Bay region served as a prototype for assessment development. From September 1981 through March 1982, MAB issued monthly assessments of Chesapeake Bay in the economic sectors of fisheries, recreation, and transportation. We now issue quarterly assessments in order to extend the service to other marine areas within existing resource limitations. Once each year we publish an Annual Summary giving a longer-term perspective of the impacts for the calendar year.

  • International Cooperation and Competition in Civilian Space Activities
    International Cooperation and Competition in Civilian Space Activities June 1985 NTIS order #PB87-136842 Recommended Citation: International Cooperation and Competition in Civilian Space Activities (Washington, DC: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, OTA-ISC-239, July 1985). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 84-601087 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 Foreword The nature of global space activities has changed radically over the last decade. No longer are the United States and the Soviet Union the only countries capable of placing satellites into Earth orbit or sending interplanetary probes into deep space. Europe and Japan now have substantial space programs and have developed commercially competitive space systems. Several newly industrialized countries are well along in building their own space programs. In addition, the U.S. private sector has recently expanded its interest and investment in space technology. As this report makes clear, these changes have strong policy implications for the U.S. Government space program and for the U.S. private sector. This report presents the major findings of an assessment requested by the House Committee on Science and Technology and the Joint Economic Committee, on inter- national cooperation and competition in civilian space activities. The United States still enjoys a strong competitive position in most space technologies and in space science. There continues to be broad support for a long-term public commitment to civilian space activities. But precisely because of our achievements—and those of other space-far- ing nations—the number of opportunities (and associated costs) that lie before us re- quire a thoughtful articulation of space goals and objectives.
