Producer-driven groups such as the Canadian Cattlemen's Association and the Manitoba Cattle Producers Association have spent years lobbying the federal government to focus more energy on opening new markets in Europe and Asia.On Jan. 9, federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced Ottawa would create a market-access secretariat to better co-ordinate the efforts of government, livestock producers and the industry to target new markets and keep pace with international competitors. Fears that the legislation would require Canadian animals to be separated from those raised by U.S.-based producers prompted the vast majority of American packing plants and feedlot operators to stop buying Canadian cattle.

The protectionist legislation championed by lobbying groups for U.S. cattle producers has made an already bad situation worse, said Wildeman, who was part of the MCPA's four-person expert international trade panel yesterday afternoon. While federal trade officials continue to work on opening up new markets, including Europe, which has recently become a net importer of beef, Drury says the industry has to change to meet the needs of the importing countries, and can't expect to be given full access and then flood their shelves with Canadian meat.

We assume leadership with this unilateral reduction," said French President Jacques Chirac, at what was likely his last summit before leaving office. "This is part of the great moments of European history. [Angela Merkel] challenged the rest of the world to follow the EU, saying there still was time to "avoid what could well be a human calamity" caused by an overheated planet. "The EU's moves can help put the world's energy systems on more sustainable footing. They offer business strong incentives to develop the advanced technologies that the world, and above all, the developing world needs to meet its energy needs while at the same time addressing climate change," Ban's spokeswoman Marie Okabe said in New York.

This study investigates the use of accounting policies contained in national standards or IAS that are not acceptable under US GAAP. Four policy areas (measurement of tangible assets, available-for-sale marketable securities and intangible assets; and the treatment of research and development expenditure) were considered for 506 listed firms from the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, France, Germany and Japan at 1999/2000. The main use of policies equivalent to IAS "options" was among firms from the UK and Australia. The study outlined how IAS adoption in 2005 (in the UK, France, Germany and Australia) and further IASB/FASB convergence activities will impact on policies currently used by firms from the sample countries.
