For the first time, India has signed an all-encompassing economic pact with any country so as to benefit from gains through trade and investment flows in areas of mutual interest. This is also the first time that India has notified a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) under Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). While, the Agreements relating to goods and services are in accordance with the provisions under the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Agreement on financial services goes beyond the WTO commitments for both India and Singapore. The idea for a comprehensive economic agreement between India and Singapore developed from discussions between the then Prime Minister of India Atal Behari Vajpayee and the then Prime Minister of Singapore Goh Chok Tong in August 2002. A joint study group was set up to draft the working of the CECA and it submitted a report in April 2003 that recommended an integrated package of agreements between India and Singapore including free trade in goods and services and investments. The CECA is a classic example of proving that the disparity in size does not matter when it comes to economic cooperation.

Pilots were told to lower the nose of their aircraft, maximize power, and not attempt to maintain assigned altitudes. (See August 22, 1996; January 15, 1997.) January 6, 1997: Illinois Governor Jim Edgar and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley announced a compromise under which the city would reopen Meigs Field and operate the airport for five years. After that, Chicago would be free to close the airport. (See September 30, 1996.) January 6, 1997: FAA announced the appointment of William Albee as aircraft noise ombudsman, a new position mandated by the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-264). (See September 30, 1996; October 28, 1998.) January 7, 1997: Dredging resumed in the search for clues in the TWA Flight 800 crash. The operation had been suspended in mid-December 1996.

Turkey signed 19 Stand-By Arrangements with the IMF when faced with liquidity problems. Several studies have already provided detailed information about the history and evolution of the relationship between the IMF and Turkey. However, we have not come across studies about the reform efforts carried out by the IMF since 2006 and their effects on Turkey. The IMF reforms completed during the 2006-2016 period positively affected Turkey's voting power, the amount of potential financing it could use, and its representation at the Executive Board.

Therefore, it would benefit Turkey to explore alternative ways in which it can IMF, Global obtain potential financing on more flexible terms than the IMF.

    Distribution Channels Travel agencies (TAs) Group 5 Laura Comella Anna Espadaler Mariya Podokshik Junko Yamazaki What is a Travel agency? A business that helps to make arrangements for people who want to travel ✈ Travel agents can arrange all types of domestic and international travel, from hotel and resort accommodations to air and ground transportation, including car rental needs and tour packages. ✈ They can also provide assistance with travel insurance protection, passport and visa applications, inoculation procedures and other foreign travel requirements. Where do TA’s stand within the distribution channel chain? B2C (Business to Consumer) ✈ Travel agencies are businesses who distribute travel links and tourism services on behalf of suppliers (hotels, tour companies, airlines, etc.) to customers (travellers, tourists, etc.) ✈ They are an indirect form of a distribution channel - as travel agents act as the “middleman” Advantages and disadvantages of using TAs ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES ● Comfort in the country of destination – you are mostly provided with transfer to hotel and the representative of the agency can ● It’s not always cheap solve any of your problems. ● You have some limitations such as restrictions on which hotel you stay, ● Your vacation is organized. duration of your stay, excursions, etc ● You don’t need to worry about buying ● You can encounter commission and hidden fees tickets and booking hotels. that are not always explained.
