The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits 2007 Revision, ICC Publication no. 600 Page 1 of 26 FOREWORD This revision of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (commonly called “UCP”) is the sixth revision of the rules since they were first promulgated in 1933. It is the fruit of more than three years of work by the International Chamber of Commerce’s (ICC) Commission on Banking Technique and Practice. ICC, which was established in 1919, had as its primary objective facilitating the flow of international trade at a time when nationalism and protectionism posed serious threats to the world trading system. It was in that spirit that the UCP were first introduced – to alleviate the confusion caused by individual countries’ promoting their own national rules on letter of credit practice. The objective, since attained, was to create a set of contractual rules that would establish uniformity in that practice, so that practitioners would not have to cope with a plethora of often conflicting national regulations. The universal acceptance of the UCP by practitioners in countries with widely divergent economic and judicial systems is a testament to the rules’ success. It is important to recall that the UCP represent the work of a private international organization, not a governmental body. Since its inception, ICC has insisted on the central role of self-regulation in business practice. These rules, formulated entirely by experts in the private sector, have validated that approach. The UCP remain the most successful set of private rules for trade ever developed. A range of individuals and groups contributed to the current revision, which is entitled UCP 600. These include the UCP Drafting Group, which sifted through more than 5000 individual comments before arriving at this consensus text; the UCP Consulting Group, consisting of members from more than 25 countries, which served as the advisory body reacting to and proposing changes to the various drafts; the more than 400 members of the ICC Commission on Banking Technique and Practice who made pertinent suggestions for changes in the text; and ICC national committees worldwide which took an active role in consolidating comments from their members. ICC also expresses its gratitude to practitioners in the transport and insurance industries, whose perceptive suggestions honed the final draft. Guy Sebban Secretary General International Chamber of Commerce INTRODUCTION In May 2003, the International Chamber of Commerce authorized the ICC Commission on Banking Technique and Practice (Banking Commission) to begin a revision of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, ICC Publication 500. As with other revisions, the general objective was to address developments in the banking, transport and insurance industries. Additionally, there was a need to look at the language and style used in the UCP to remove wording that could lead to inconsistent application and interpretation. The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits 2007 Revision, ICC Publication no. 600 Page 2 of 26 When work on the revision started, a number of global surveys indicated that, because of discrepancies, approximately 70% of documents presented under letters of credit were being rejected on first presentation.

Mã số: 60 31 07 Người hướng dẫn: TS. Nguyễn Anh Thu Năm bảo vệ: 2012 Abstract: Luận văn làm rõ nội dung, vai trò, mục đích của rào cản thương mại quốc tế. Hệ thống hoá được những vấn đề mang tính khái quát về rào cản môi trường. Đưa ra các rào cản môi trường được áp dụng ở Mỹ. Phân tích và đánh giá hiệu quả thực trạng áp dụng rào cản môi trường ở Mỹ; từ đó đưa ra một số hàm ý cho Việt Nam nhằm xây dựng và áp dụng rào cản môi trường nói chung và xây dựng quan hệ thương mại Việt - Mỹ nói riêng. Keywords: Kinh tế đối ngoại; Thương mại quốc tế; Rào cản thương mại Content 1. Tính cấp thiết của đề tài. Thế giới ngày nay đang sống trong quá trình toàn cầu hoá mạnh mẽ, một nền thương mại tự do toàn cầu đang là mục tiêu của nhiều quốc gia mà minh chứng rõ nét nhất là sự ra đời và phát triển của Tổ chức thương mại thế giới (WTO). Tuy nhiên, do nhiều nguyên nhân, đặc biệt là do trình độ phát triển kinh tế không đồng đều, các nước đều duy trì các rào cản thương mại nhằm bảo hộ nền sản xuất nội địa. Bên cạnh hàng rào thuế quan, rất nhiều hàng rào phi thuế đã ra đời. Mức độ cần thiết và lý do sâu xa dẫn đến việc bảo hộ nội địa của từng quốc gia cũng khác nhau, đối tượng cần bảo hộ cũng khác nhau càng khiến cho các hàng rào phi thuế trở nên đa dạng. Chính các hàng rào này đã, đang và sẽ gây ra những cản trở đối với sự phát triển của thương mại quốc tế và phương hại đến ý tưởng xây dựng và hoàn thiện một nền thương mại tự do toàn cầu, cạnh tranh bình đẳng. Cũng chính vì vậy, nhiệm vụ của các quốc gia hiện nay là làm sao xây dựng được một chính sách thương mại vừa có khả năng hội nhập lại vừa có thể phát triển sản xuất trong nước. Để giải quyết cùng lúc hai mục đích này, nhiều nước trên thế giới, đặc biệt là các nước phát triển đã sử dụng đến “rào cản xanh” hay nói chính xác hơn là “rào cản môi trường”. Về thực chất, đây là một hệ thống quy định liên quan đến môi trường áp dụng cho sản phẩm nhập khẩu (trong đó nêu lên những tiêu chuẩn nhất định về quá trình sản xuất, sử dụng cũng như tái chế và tiêu hủy sản phẩm); do đó nêu cao ý thức bảo vệ trái đất và nhân loại. Và đây cũng chính là cơ sở vững chắc để loại hình "bảo hộ" này được các nước xây dựng và mở rộng. Hiện nay, những rào cản môi trường đã bị lạm dụng, được sử dụng quá nhiều gây khó khăn đối với hoạt động thương mại của các nước đang phát triển hay thậm chí đối với cả một số nước phát triển, đi ngược lại với tinh thần tự do hoá thương mại toàn cầu. Hơn phân nửa số lượng các rào cản môi trường tương đối mới, có hiệu lực từ năm 1999, 2000. Nhiều rào cản của EU có nguồn gốc từ các biện pháp được áp dụng vào cuối những năm 80 của thế kỷ 20 cho dù đa số được đặt ra vào cuối những năm 90 của thế kỷ 20 và năm 2000. Hiện nay, một số chính sách môi trường quan trọng được thông qua ở châu Âu sẽ tạo ra thêm các rào cản môi trường. Ở Mỹ, hầu hết các rào cản được áp dụng từ giữa đến cuối những năm 90, một số xuất hiện từ năm 2000. Còn ở Nhật, các rào cản chủ yếu tồn tại từ năm 1999 [8]. Việc sử dụng ngày càng nhiều các rào cản thương mại môi trường là do các quy định môi trường ngày càng tăng. Nếu thập kỷ trước chỉ mới có các hướng dẫn (guide) thì hiện nay phạm vi sử dụng các biện pháp thương mại để bảo vệ môi trường ngày càng tăng. Ở châu Âu, các chương trình về các quy định môi trường mới được dự đoán sẽ tăng trong tương lai. Nhìn chung, hệ thống rào cản môi trường trong thương mại quốc tế rất đa dạng và được áp dụng rất khác nhau tuỳ thuộc vào điều kiện cụ thể của từng nước. Theo số liệu thống kê năm 2003 cho thấy đã có đến hơn 40 rào cản môi trường đối với thương mại quốc tế trong hơn thập kỷ qua và dự kiến sẽ có ít nhất 20 rào cản được áp dụng [15]. Hiện nay, số lượng các rào cản môi trường được POLICY Working Paper Series No. 12 S S E E X X U U A A L L I I T T Y Y E E D D U U C C A A T T I I O O N N I I N N S S C C H H O O O O L L S S : : T T H H E E I I N N T T E E R R N N A A T T I I O O N N A A L L E E X X P P E E R R I I E E N N C C E E A A N N D D I I M M P P L L I I C C A A T T I I O O N N S S F F O O R R N N I I G G E E R R I I A A by James E.

Worldwide, school-based programs are an important element of efforts to improve the reproductive health of young people. This paper reviews the international experience and its implications for Nigeria. The main findings are as follows: Comprehensive sexuality education is effective in improving key youth reproductive health (YRH) behaviors. In a wide range of settings in both developed and developing nations, comprehensive school- based sexuality education has influenced important behaviors such as delaying sexual initiation, reducing the number of sexual partners, and increasing use of condoms among youth who are sexually active. This finding bodes well for Nigeria, a country with considerable linguistic and cultural diversity. Virtually everywhere, sexuality education is controversial and difficult to carry out on a national scale, especially while trying to maintain the quality of that education. In Nigeria, as elsewhere, such controversy and problems are to be expected. Effectively addressing the concerns of parents, teachers, and the broader community will be essential to eventual success. Despite these problems, [...]... grip to such a degree that your pull-up sets may be hampered by the forearm fatigue already incurred.Working the grip prior to pull-ups is good for the grip, but bad for the pulling group Using the concept of synergy, we can see that it is wiser to work the pulling group before the grip.This allows the pulling group the emphasis with a minor demand made on the grip.This minor demand of the grip adds to. .. will forego the talk of how the body does what it does beneath your skin and focus instead on what you need to do to let these internal processes work for you, whether you understand the science behind them or not Let’s face it, some people enjoy reading and memorizing the process of glycolysis and are fascinated by the details of the Krebs cycle and want more information on pyruvate -to- lactic acid For. .. mean fight conditioning is out of your reach?

The enzyme has been extensively studied in a wide spectrum of prokaryotes and eukaryotes [1–7]. At least three forms of PFK are known that differ with respect to the phosphoryl donor. The classical PFK of mammals, yeast and eubacteria, a key enzyme of glyco- lysis, is ATP-dependent and subject to extensive allos- teric regulation by various metabolites [8,9]. In plants, various protists, and some prokaryotes, pyrophosphate (PP i )-dependent forms of PFK are known (EC 2.7.1.90) [10–13]. These enzymes share sequence similarity with ATP-dependent PFK (ATP-PFK) and are designated either as PP i -PFK or as pyrophosphate:fructose-6- phosphate 1-phosphotransferase. They differ markedly with respect to their regulatory properties across species. Plant PP i -PFK is subject to extensive allosteric regulation, in particular by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate [14], whereas the enzyme from various anaerobic pro- tists is not [10,15]. Notably, ATP-dependent and PP i - dependent PFKs interleave in molecular phylogenies, indicating that several independent changes of cosub- strate specificity have occurred during PFK evolution among eubacteria [16–18], among archaebacteria [2], and among eukaryotes [4]. A third form of PFK has been reported only from archaebacteria. It is ADP- dependent (ADP-PFK), belongs to the the ribokinase superfamily, typically occurs among archaebacteria that lack an Embden–Meyerhof pathway [19,20], and can accept acetyl phosphate as the phosphoryl donor [21].

We have purified the enzyme from spinach leaves 309-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity. The purified enzyme was a homotetramer of 52 kDa subunits with a specific activity of 600 mUÆmg )1 and a K m value for ATP of 81 lm. The purified enzyme was not activated by phosphate, but slightly inhibited instead, suggesting that it was the chloroplast iso- form. The inclusion of adenosine 5¢-(b,c-imido)triphosphate was conducive to enzyme activitiy during the purification protocol. The sequences of eight tryptic peptides from the final protein preparation, which did not utilize pyrophosphate as a phosphoryl donor, were determined and an exactly corresponding cDNA was cloned. The sequence of enzymatically active spinach ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase suggests that a large family of genomics-derived higher plant sequences currently annotated in the data- bases as putative pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinases accord- ing to sequence similarity is misannotated with respect to ...
