  • INDIVIDUAL SANITARY MEASURE Denmark Daniel Oestmann And
    DECISION MEMORANDUM— INDIVIDUAL SANITARY MEASURE Denmark Daniel Oestmann and Priya Kadam David Smith and Kevin Gillespie EQUIVALENCE REQUEST: Denmark requested an equivalence determination for an alternative post-mortem inspection i.e. visual inspection instead of palpation and incision of lung and liver and their associated lymph nodes of slaughtered market hogs. For purposes of determining equivalence, Danish market hogs are of the 220-240 pounds /six months of age range; the alternative post-mortem inspection procedure is not applicable to sows, boars, and roaster pigs. BACKGROUND: On December 16, 2008 in an FSIS-Denmark bilateral meeting a team of FSIS experts met and reviewed Denmark’s Supply Chain Inspection system, and presentations by Danish officials. The Supply Chain Inspection system allows inspection of market hogs raised under an integrated quality control program coupled with an on-site verification at slaughter establishments of visually inspected carcasses and organs to ensure that passed carcasses and parts are wholesome and not adulterated. As a part of this inspection system, on December 24, 2008, FSIS approved Denmark’s use of an alternative post- mortem inspection procedure omitting the incision of mandibular lymph nodes for market hogs used to detect granulomatous lymphadenitis which is mitigated through on-farm controls that are assessed and reported through government oversight when hogs come to slaughter. As a part of this Supply Chain Inspection system, in April 2010, Denmark proposed another alternate visual only post mortem inspection procedure, omitting the palpation of mesenteric lymph nodes of slaughtered market hogs used to detect granulomatous lymphadenitis is mitigated through on-farm controls that are assessed and reported through government oversight when hogs come to slaughter.

  • Regional Disparity and Heterogeneous Income Effects of the Euro
    Better out than in? Regional disparity and heterogeneous income effects of the euro Sang-Wook (Stanley) Cho1,∗ School of Economics, UNSW Business School, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia Sally Wong2 Economic Analysis Department, Reserve Bank of Australia, Sydney, Australia February 14, 2021 Abstract This paper conducts a counterfactual analysis on the effect of adopting the euro on regional income and disparity within Denmark and Sweden. Using the synthetic control method, we find that Danish regions would have experienced small heterogeneous effects from adopting the euro in terms of GDP per capita, while all Swedish regions are better off without the euro with varying magnitudes. Adopting the euro would have decreased regional income disparity in Denmark, while the effect is ambiguous in Sweden due to greater convergence among non-capital regions but further divergence with Stockholm. The lower disparity observed across Danish regions and non-capital Swedish regions as a result of eurozone membership is primarily driven by losses suffered by high-income regions rather than from gains to low- income regions. These results highlight the cost of foregoing stabilisation tools such as an independent monetary policy and a floating exchange rate regime. For Sweden in particular, macroeconomic stability outweighs the potential efficiency gains from a common currency. JEL classification: Keywords: currency union, euro, synthetic control method, regional income disparity ∗Corresponding author. We would like to thank Glenn Otto, Pratiti Chatterjee, Scott French, Federico Masera and Alan Woodland for their constructive feedback and comments.

Projektledare: Madeleine Nilsson, [email protected], Region Skåne. Projektledare för Skånes del i OECD TR Megaregion Western Scandinavia 1 Foreword Region Skåne and the City of Helsingborg, together with partners in Western Sweden and the Oslo region, have commissioned the OECD to conduct a so-called Territorial Review of the Megaregion Western Scandinavia. A review of opportunities and potential for greater integration and cooperation between the regions and cities in Western Scandinavia. This report is a brief summary of the supporting data submitted by Skåne to the OECD in December 2016 and mainly contains regional trends, strengths and weaknesses. The report largely follows the arrangement of all the supporting data submitted to the OECD, however, the policy sections have been omitted. All the data sets have been produced by a number of employees of Region Skåne and the City of Helsingborg. During the spring, corresponding reports have been produced for both Western Sweden and the Oslo region. The first study mission was conducted by the OECD in January 2017, where they met with experts and representatives from Skåne and the Megaregion. In late April, the OECD will be visiting Skåne and the Megaregion again with peer reviewers from Barcelona, Vienna and Vancouver for a second round of study mission. The OECD’s final report will be presented and decided upon within the OECD Regional Development Policy Committee (RDPC) in December 2017, and subsequently the OECD Territorial Review Megaregion Western Scandinavia will be published.
