  • Harmonized Reporting Format Trade by Trade Reporting
    Harmonized Reporting Format Trade by Trade reporting Introduction The EFC Sub-Committee on EU Government Bonds and Bills Markets agreed on 8 December 2004 to use a common reporting format for primary dealers’ reporting requirements. Debt Management Offices (DMOs) of the euro area should harmonize as much as possible their respective Primary Dealer reporting templates. In concert with the European Primary Dealers Association (EPDA), currently AFME, a Harmonized Reporting Format (HRF) was introduced. Objective A harmonized format for primary dealers’ reporting requirements applicable to all DMOs in the euro area will simplify the production of activity reports by PDs that are active in several euro area markets, thereby offering DMOs the opportunity of obtaining more consistent reports. In order to safeguard the confidentiality of the investor flows reported, each DMO signed a Confidentiality Agreement with their respective PDs with regard to the treatment and the use of the reported information. This Agreement restricts the internal use of the data and ensures that publication of the information if any can only be done in an aggregated format. Technical specifications The objective of these technical specifications is to have one identical reporting format for all PDs and for all DMOs. In this way, PDs can produce the reports electronically and DMOs can electronically extract data from the PDs’ reports in order to analyse their PDs’ activity and/or to produce global reports aggregating the data submitted by PDs individually. The report is submitted to DMOs within thirteen (13) target days following the end of the reported month. All transactions are to be reported in Extensible Markup Language (XML).

  • Strategic Potential of the Cocos Islands and Christmas Island
    AIRPOWER. Strategic potential of the Cocos Islands and Christmas Island Dr Carlo Kopp The ongoing drift in the global balance of economic and military power toward Asia has brought important policy changes in the United States, with the recent Defense Strategic Guidance document putting the Asia-Pacific region and the associated air-sea battle strategy concept at the top of the long term strategic agenda for Australia’s closest ally. The concurrent Australian Defence Force Posture Review (ADFPR) interim report was released in January, 2012, and the final report is expected this March. The Indian Ocean is now the principal sea route for Cocos (Keeling) Islands is recommended, to support much of Asia’s maritime traffic, carrying energy P-8 Poseidon maritime aircraft, thus exploiting only products from the Middle East and raw materials a small fraction of the actual strategic potential of from Africa into Asia, along with much of Asia’s either location. industrial output to the world. ‘Real estate’ to base Discovered in 1609, the Cocos Islands were initially naval and air assets along the Indian Ocean is at a privately owned asset, granted to the Clunies- a premium, to the extent that China has made Ross family in perpetuity by Britain in 1886, extensive port construction investments in Pakistan with jurisdiction transferred to Australia in 1955, and Burma (Myanmar), and airfield investments and the Clunies-Ross family losing control of in the latter.

  • The Birds of Christmas Island, Indian Ocean: a Review David J
    AUSTRALIAN FIELD ORNITHOLOGY The birds of Christmas Island, Indian Ocean: A review David J. James and Ian A.W. McAllan Volume 31 Supplement 2014 AUSTRALIA Australian Field Ornithology 2014, 31, Supplement The birds of Christmas Island, Indian Ocean: A review David J. James1 and Ian A.W. McAllan2* 173 Pozieres Avenue, Milperra NSW 2214, Australia 246 Yeramba Street, Turramurra NSW 2074, Australia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Summary. This paper is an account of all known records of birds from Christmas Island in the eastern Indian Ocean. It also includes reviews of the history of the Island’s ornithology, its avian biogeography, the taxonomy of selected endemic taxa, population estimates of resident species, and current and past threats to its birds. One hundred and forty-nine species of birds have been recorded from the Island, of which 14 are breeding landbirds, nine are breeding seabirds, 18 are visitors and 108 are vagrant species. The Island has a high degree of endemism and this is expressed in the avifauna through 11 endemic taxa among the 23 breeding species. Biogeographically, Christmas Island is an oceanic island, with breeding and visiting species originating from several sources including South-East Asia, Australia, the Palaearctic, pelagic, and other undetermined sources. Links to the Greater Sunda Islands and Wallacea are very minor. The Island was first occupied by humans in 1888. Since then, three bird species have been introduced (two deliberately) and four have self-colonised. No bird taxa have become extinct locally, despite several extinctions of other endemic and indigenous fauna. However, numerous threatening processes are placing increasing pressure on native birds.
