Research in Global Groundfish Markets: An Exercise in International Cooperation

Over roughly the last decade, most of the fishery resources of the continental shelf and nearshore areas of the world's oceans have come under the control of coastal nations. One consequence of this extension of fisheries jurisdiction (EFJ) by any individual state has been the expansion of its production possibilities. That is, with strengthened property rights in the ocean resources off its shores, a coastal nation experiences increased opportunities to produce goods and services from its newly enlarged pool of resources. Such a nation, then, would appear to be a potential gainer from EFJ.

Outro olhar sobre a vigilância sanitária de produtos no Brasil: a legislação de controle sanitário das importações - da Secretaria à Anvisa - em foco.

Esta dissertação tem como objeto a regulamentação adotada pelo Brasil no que tange ao controle sanitário da importação de produtos sob vigilância sanitária. Foram analisadas as publicações da legislação sanitária e suas alterações no período de 1996 a 2013. O escopo do estudo incorporou os aspectos políticos, técnicos, econômicos e institucionais envolvidos no controle sanitário das importações. Destaca-se, ainda, a identificação de atores que se mostraram relevantes na formulação e na implantação das normas. Nesta perspectiva, foi realizado estudo singular do conjunto das normatizações publicadas entre 1996 e 2013 editadas desde a antiga Secretaria de Vigilância Sanitária até a Anvisa. Como resultado, foram selecionadas cinco normas para análise, bem como suas alterações posteriores, caracterizando um estudo qualitativo de caráter exploratório executado com base na análise temática de conteúdo. O exame desse material permitiu traçar uma trajetória do controle sanitário das importações em três fases, que se desdobrou a partir da análise das normas, permitindo destacar os condicionantes para as alterações dos regulamentos e os efeitos produzidos por tais alterações. Observou-se que tanto a elaboração quantos os posteriores desdobramentos das normatizações foram fortemente influenciados pelas mudanças políticas e econômicas observadas no país e no mundo, sofrendo a determinação de organismos internacionais e de atores intra e extrainstitucionais, que conduziram a restrições no controle sanitário de produtos importados. O estudo permitiu conhecer melhor a prática da vigilância sanitária e, a partir daí, propor medidas para melhorar a regulação no campo de atuação da Anvisa. Por fim, esta produção tem a finalidade de contribuir com a aproximação das práticas da vigilância sanitária com o meio acadêmico.

Habitats regulations for stage 3 assessments radioactive substance authorisations

This is the Habitats regulations for stage 3 assessments: radioactive substances authorisations report from the Environment Agency, published on October 2003. The report focuses on the stage 3 assessments of radioactive substances authorisations in UK (to take place over the next five years, starting in 2003), which may have a potential impact on European designated Natura 2000 sites such Special Protection Areas (SPA), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC); and thus require further detailed assessment. This Environment Agency R&D project was commissioned to ERC, University o f Liverpool, in conjunction with Westlakes Scientific Consulting and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, as part o f the agency's preparation for the Stage 3 Assessments o f radioactive substances authorisations. The aim was to prepare site information sheets containing all data relevant for individual Natura 2000 sites needing Stage 3 Assessment and to stylise and represent species that require protection under the Habitats Regulations by the reference organism geometries listed in R&D Publication 128 (Copplestone et al., 2001).
