  • U.S. V. Bayer AG and Monsanto Company Comment: the Sierra Club
    ATTN: Kathleen S. O'Neill Chief, Transportation, Energy & Agriculture Section Antitrust Division United States Department of Justice 450 5th Street, NW, Suite 800 Washington, DC 20530 Petition in opposition to proposed U.S. v. Bayer AG and Monsanto Company settlement and merger: A merger of agrochemical giants Bayer and Monsanto would create the world's largest seed and pesticide maker. I am afraid this move will reduce competition, raise prices for consumers and farmers, and result in an unacceptable degree of control over the agricultural industry and our food supply. I am very concerned about pollinators and the increased risks to bees, butterflies and birds with the increase of Bayer's neonicotinoids. Both companies produce corn products engineered to imply the use of harmful pesticides they manufacture. The production of corn uses high amounts of nitrogen- based fertilizers and the excess sediment is contaminating our waterways, therefore I am deeply worried about increased corn production from this merger. The heavy nutrient runoff from corn is widely attributed to exacerbating the marine "Dead Zone" in the Gulf of Mexico, in which algal blooms create hypoxic conditions wherein oxygen concentration is in such low levels that marine life suffocates and dies. I urge the Department of Justice to do more prevent the Bayer-Monsanto seed and pesticide platform from growing too strong by stopping this merger. If this merger is allowed, it should require more pesticide and seed divestments in order to protect our agriculture and food supply. This merger is anti-competition, if it is approved it will fail to protect farmers, consumers and the environment by allowing further consolidation of the industrial agriculture sector.

Donald∗ ABSTRACT This Article identifies several common errors that occur in comparative law analyses, offers guidelines to help avoid such errors, and provides a framework for studying the company laws of three major jurisdictions. Part I discusses some of the problems that can arise in comparative law and offers a few points of caution that can be useful for practical, theoretical and legislative comparative law. Part II examines well-known examples of comparative analysis gone astray in order to demonstrate the utility of heeding the outlined points of caution. Part III provides an example of using functional definitions to demarcate the topic “company law,” offering an “effects” test to determine whether a given provision of law should be considered as functionally part of the rules that govern the core characteristics of companies.

  • The Bio Revolution: Innovations Transforming and Our Societies, Economies, Lives
    The Bio Revolution: Innovations transforming economies, societies, and our lives economies, societies, our and transforming Innovations Revolution: Bio The The Bio Revolution Innovations transforming economies, societies, and our lives May 2020 McKinsey Global Institute Since its founding in 1990, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to help leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors understand trends and forces shaping the global economy. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on employment, physical climate risk, income inequal ity, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and financial globalization. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: co-chairs James Manyika and Sven Smit, and director Jonathan Woetzel. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, Anu Madgavkar, Jan Mischke, Sree Ramaswamy, Jaana Remes, Jeongmin Seong, and Tilman Tacke are MGI partners, and Mekala Krishnan is an MGI senior fellow.

  • Chapter 2: Benefits and Risks of Gene Technology in Agriculture
    2 %HQHILWVDQGULVNVRIJHQHWHFKQRORJ\LQ DJULFXOWXUH Introduction 2.1 Using biotechnology can be seen as extending earlier methods of plant and animal breeding which date back many thousands of years (Table 2.1).1 The technology obtains results more rapidly, is more precise, and gives access to a broader genetic base than traditional breeding techniques. These are the features that recommend its use so powerfully to plant and animal breeders. It provides an important tool when integrated with traditional breeding approaches. 2.2 The precision that gene technology offers is possible because the exact segment of a chromosome that determines a desired trait can be identified. With this capacity, traditional breeding programs can be fast tracked by locating seeds or offspring at an early stage, through gene marker technology, and breeding only from them. The Cattle Council of Australia commented on the dramatic increases in precision of genetic improvement that is possible as a result.2 In addition, genes can be removed from one organism and inserted into another. 2.3 Transgenesis, in which genes are moved from one species or organism to another, allows beneficial genes from any source to be transferred to other species or organisms. The Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Tropical Plant Pathology pointed out that, while conventional breeding programs have improved the pest and disease resistance of Australian crops, there 1 C Hudson, 'How industry adopts new technology', Gene Technology and Food, National Science & Industry Forum Report, Australian Academy of Science, April 1999, p. 12; Nugrain, Submission no. 25, p. 6. 2 Cattle Council of Australia, Submission no.
