The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies. The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Commission of the European Communities takes part in the work of the OECD. The OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation’s statistics gathering and research on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and standards agreed by its members. This document is published on the responsibility of the Secretary General of the OECD.

This document is a revised version of the former Guidance Manual [ENV/EPOC/WGWPR(2001)6/FINAL]. It includes: Detailed explanations on how to implement the OECD Decision C(2001)107/FINAL, as amended; The Decision C(2001)107/FINAL (Annex A), including Appendices 3 and 4, and Appendix 8 which have been amended by C(2008)156; The updated consolidated lists of waste subject to the Green and Amber control procedures (Annexes B and C); Other relevant information to facilitate the implementation of the OECD Decision C(2001)107/FINAL, such as applicable international transport agreements and a sample contract; Queries of the interactive database aiming to facilitate the paperwork of all parties involved in transboundary movements of wastes by providing the necessary information to complete the forms for the notification and movement documents. The database includes the information required by the Decision C(2001)107/FINAL, as amended and some practical information for each OECD member country(http://www.oecd.org/environment/waste/database-transboundary-movements-of-wastes.xlsx). This Guidance Manual has been prepared by Soizick de Tilly, with advice from Tom Jones and Henrik Harjula. The OECD Secretariat is grateful to Michael Ernst and Andreas Jaron (Germany); Marco Buletti (Switzerland); Josée Lanctôt and Julie Croteau (Canada); Pascale Clochard and Laurence Matringe (France); and Donata Rugarabamu and Melissa Thomas (Secretariat of the Basel Convention), for their contributions to the revision of this Guidance Manual, in particular to the consolidated lists of wastes. Isabelle Fakih provided technical support and editing. Further information related to the work of the OECD on transboundary movements of wastes, as well as this Guidance Manual itself, can be found on Internet at: http://www.oecd.org/env/waste. This Manual is to be considered only as a supportive explanatory document to the OECD Council Decision C(2001)107/FINAL. It does not have any legal standing and does not, in any way, replace the Decision or any national legislation.

  • 2009-2010 Biennial Budget Development
    Interdepartmental Correspondence Sheet City of Cincinnati June 2, 2008 To: Mayor and Members of City Council From: Milton Dohoney, Jr., City Manager Subject: 2009/2010 Biennial Budget Development The purpose of this document is to begin the process of developing budget priorities and policies that will guide the development of the 2009/2010 Biennial Budget. It provides information useful to the Mayor and the City Council in crafting the 2009/2010 Policy Budget priorities. It is anticipated that the City Council will adopt a list of 2009/2010 Policy Budget priorities at its June 18, 2008 meeting, which identifies City Council’s service priorities given resource constraints. It is important to consider the General Fund forecast, the budget policy considerations, and significant budget issues when developing policy priorities for the upcoming biennium. These items provide the context for informed decisions. In addition, since we are again facing resource constraints, I ask that City Council consider providing guidance on service reductions and/or resource increases to help offset the expenses associated with any new or enhanced spending initiatives. An updated General Fund Forecast is provided reflecting the revised revenue estimates and expenditure estimates for 2009 through 2012. As noted in the 2008 Budget Update Process and confirmed in the 2007 Year End Close Report, the City’s combined Working Capital Reserve and General Fund Balance is short of the minimum standard of 10% of annual General Fund revenue. To balance the 2008 Budget, $3.5 million of the 2007 carryover was used. Preliminary resources and expenditures detailed in the Tentative Tax Budget indicate that this structural deficit will continue in 2009.

  • Industrial Hemp in the United States: Status and Market Potential
    Industrial Hemp in the United States: Status and Market Potential Abstract Industrial hemp has been the focus of official interest in several States. However, hemp and marijuana are different varieties of Cannabis sativa, which is classified as a con- trolled substance in the United States. With Canada now allowing hemp production, questions have been raised about the demand for hemp products. U.S. markets for hemp fiber (specialty textiles, paper, and composites) and seed (in food or crushed for oil) are, and will likely remain, small, thin markets. Uncertainty about longrun demand for hemp products and the potential for oversupply discounts the prospects for hemp as an eco- nomically viable alternative crop for American farmers. Keywords: industrial hemp, markets, bast fiber, hurds, seed, oil. The use of commercial or trade names does not imply approval or constitute endorse- ment by USDA.

  • ABACÁ Growers in Abacá (Manila Hemp), Which Is One of /\ Philippines Face the So-Called "Hard"Fibers,Is Produced Â
    ABACÁ Growers in Abacá (Manila hemp), which is one of /\ Philippines Face the so-called "hard"fibers,is produced Â. \, Outside Competition by a plant that closely resembles the well-known banana plant. With the ex- ception of small quantities produced in the Dutch East Indies, the entire world supply of abacá is obtained from the Philippine Islands. The approximate annual consumption of abacá fiber in the United States is 150,000,000 pounds. This fiber is used principally for the manufacture of the superior grades of cordage. Its remarkable strength, elasticity, and resistance to the action of salt water make it a particularly suitable material for marine cordage. Manila rope is also used in large quantities for well drilling, heavy constriiction, transportation work, and for many other purposes where cordage of superior quality is required. During periods when there is a shortage of henequén fiber, or when the price of this fiber is unduly high, there is an increased use of abacá fiber for the manufacture of binder twine. The fact that there is no entirely satisfactory substitute for abacá fiber, and the further fact that practically the entire world supply of this fiber is now produced in the Philippine Islands, indicate very clearly the need for maintaining the Philippine abacá industry in at least a reasonably healthful and prosperous condition. During the period of American occupation of the Philippine Islands, and particiilarly during the last 15 years, there have been changes and developments in the abacá situation that promise to alter very materi- ally the conditions under which this fiber is now produced.
