    An Impact Study of the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) in the Six ACP Regions

    No full text
    This article intends to present a very detailed analysis of the trade-related aspects of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) negotiations. We use a dynamic partial equilibrium model – focusing on the demand side – at the HS6 level (covering 5,113 HS6 products). Two alternative lists of sensitive products are constructed, one giving priority to the agricultural sectors, the other focusing on tariff revenue preservation. In order to be WTO compatible, EPAs must translate into 90 percent of bilateral trade fully liberalised. We use this criterion to simulate EPAs for each negotiating regional block. ACP exports to the EU are forecast to be 10 percent higher with the EPAs than under the GSP/EBA option. On average ACP countries are forecast to lose 70 percent of tariff revenues on EU imports in the long run. Yet imports from other regions of the world will continue to provide tariff revenues. Thus when tariff revenue losses are computed on total ACP imports, losses are limited to 26 percent on average in the long run and even 19 percent when the product lists are optimised. The final impact on the economy depends on the importance of tariffs in government revenue and on potential compensatory effects. However this long term and less visible effect will mainly depend on the capacity of each ACP country to reorganise its fiscal base.Preferential Trade Agreements, Africa, EPAs, Partial Equilibrium Simulations, International Relations/Trade,

    "Diplotaxis siifolia" G. Kunze ("Cruciferae, Brassiceae"): posición sistemática y variabilidad infraespecífica

    The morphological features studied support the separate status of D. catholica (L.) DC. and D. siifolia G. Kunze. D. vicentina (Sampaio) Rothmaler, from southwest Portugal, should be treated as D. siifolia subsp. vicentina (Sampaio) Martínez-Laborde stat. nov. D. siifolia subsp. bipinnatifida (Cosson) Martínez-Laborde stat. nov., from south Morocco, is also proposed.Los caracteres morfológicos estudiados confirman que D. catholica (L.) DC. y D. siifolia G. Kunze deben mantenerse como especies separadas e indican que D. vicentina (Sampaio) Rothmaler, del suroeste de Portugal, debe subordinarse a D. siifolia como D. siifolia subsp. vicentina (Sampaio) Martínez-Laborde stat. nov. Se propone además D. siifolia subsp. bipinnatifida (Cosson) Martínez-Laborde stat. nov., del sur de Marruecos

    Providing Secure Coordinated Access to Grid Services

    No full text
    Coordinating the cumulative use of distributed resources in a grid environment so that users do not consume too much is a difficult task. This paper presents one approach that we have implemented in Globus Toolkit version 4 (GT4), that uses an SQL database to hold coordination data, and policy decision points (PDPs) to make access control decisions about whether the users request for more resources can be granted or denied. When access is granted, obligations in the policy ensure that the coordination database is appropriately updated. In our initial implementation, the coordination service is embedded into the GT4 authorization chain as a custom PDP so that any web service can be provided with a security policy that provides a coordination capability. In the final section we describe how coordinated decision making could be more tightly integrated into a future version of GT
