The Single European Market (SEM) was introduced through the original Rome Treaty in 1958 with the aim of creating a common market across Europe. It involved the free movement of goods, services, workers, and capital between member states. While progress was initially slow, the SEM gained momentum in the 1980s and led to the completion of the customs union and removal of duties between members in 1968. The overall objective was to develop a common system of legislation that would encourage interdependent economies among member states. The SEM has experienced both successes, such as increased intra-EU trade, and failures, including challenges integrating monetary policies. If Britain were to leave the EU, it could interfere with existing trade relationships and investments.
This document provides an overview and analysis of global competition enforcement trends from 2015 to 2019 based on data from 56 jurisdictions. It finds that total competition budgets increased over the period to reach 1.155 billion euros in 2019. On average, competition agencies had 207 staff and made 10,768 enforcement decisions annually. Cartel enforcement remained active with 449 cartel decisions per year, while abuse of dominance decisions and merger reviews also continued at high levels. Total fines imposed increased substantially over the period, reaching on average over 1 billion euros annually. The report aims to support informed policymaking and improving global competition law and policy.
These considerations mean that governments inevitably take a broader view when determining road user taxes and those strict efficiency criteria are often not adhered to.

This document provides an overview of the European automotive industry and its relationship with the US market in the context of potential trade agreements like TTIP. It notes that the European automotive industry is the second largest manufacturer of motor vehicles globally and generates millions of jobs in the EU. The US is the largest export market for the EU automotive industry, especially for passenger cars. The EU runs a large trade surplus with the US in automobiles and parts. TTIP presents opportunities to further liberalize trade between the EU and US auto industries by reducing tariffs and non-tariff barriers, but also regulatory challenges to ensure vehicle safety standards on both sides achieve similar outcomes.
1. The document discusses regional challenges in Asia from the perspective of the OECD, focusing on trends in global and Asian economic integration driven by trade, investment, and global value chains.
2. It notes that while Asian integration was initially market-driven, the number of free trade agreements in Asia has risen sharply in recent years, though financial integration remains limited.
3. Challenges to further Asian regional integration include promoting cooperation across the various regional frameworks and balancing regional and global trade regimes.

The UK's relationship with the EU – a financial services perspectiveJeroen de Bruin
The document provides an overview of 8 scenarios for the UK's relationship with the EU, including 3 scenarios where the UK remains a member and 5 where the UK leaves. It finds that scenarios where the UK leaves carry significant risks to the UK financial services sector, including reduced market access and loss of influence over EU regulation. It also finds that the UK currently wields significant influence over EU financial services rules and its interests are best served by remaining an EU member. As a member, the UK is in the strongest position to negotiate arrangements between the euro area and non-euro members like the UK.
The document summarizes the 2019 OECD Economic Survey of Portugal. It finds that while Portugal's economic recovery is well established, further improvements are needed to raise living standards. It provides several key policy recommendations to strengthen fiscal sustainability, improve financial stability, boost export performance, enhance judicial efficiency, increase labor utilization, and further reduce poverty.
WSIS+10 Overall Review of the Implementation of the WSIS OutcomesDr Lendy Spires
This document presents a review of the progress made in the implementation of Action Line C7 (E-business) since the first World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in 2003. It is based on the 10-Years Review Report Template contained in the WSIS Forum 2012: Outcome Document. As Action Line facilitators, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) have supported eight facilitation meetings in Geneva, since 2009 as part of the annual WSIS Forum.
These meetings have provided a venue for different stakeholders to exchange views and experiences with regard to trends, impact and policies related to e-business (box 1). Box 1. Action line facilitation meetings related to E-business, 2006-2013 E-business action line meetings have focused on a number of issues since 2005, covering the various aspects highlighted in the Geneva Plan of Action under e-business. The meetings have occasionally been organized jointly with other action lines. 2006: E-Business and and E-employment (with e-employment action line) 2007: ICTs, Global Supply Chains and Development (with e-employment action line) 2008: E-Commerce as a Key Facilitator for SME Competitiveness 2009: E-Business and Poverty Alleviation 2010: ICT and Rural Enterprise (with e-agriculture action line) 2011:

In 2012-2013, the facilitators jointly organized an open consultation on the e- business action line. A wide range of stakeholders, such as trade bodies, international organizations, businesses, governments and civil society across the globe took part in the consultation. The findings of this process were presented at the WSIS+10 Review meeting held in Paris at the UNESCO Headquarters in February 2013.
In between the annual WSIS Forums and related meetings, the respective work programmes of the three co-facilitators have continuously supported the implementation of the action line on e-business. The International Labour Organization (ILO) was among the original co-facilitators of this action line but has not been active after 2008.
If the UK votes to leave the EU ("Brexit"):
- Little will change immediately as the UK negotiates its new relationship with the EU over 2 years
- EU citizens' automatic right to live and work in the UK could be restricted, affecting the workforce supply
- Some employment laws like the Working Time Regulations may be reshaped, but a wholesale repeal is unlikely due to political and legal reasons
- HR and payroll professionals should consider contingencies for how Brexit may impact their workforce and which laws may change

Digitalization is transforming economies and societies by enabling ubiquitous connectivity and new business models. This raises challenges for international tax rules. The OECD report discusses three key characteristics of highly digitalized businesses - scale without mass, reliance on intangibles, and the role of data and user participation - and whether they require changes to tax rules regarding nexus and profit allocation. Countries disagree on these issues and whether interim measures are needed. The OECD is working towards a consensus-based global solution by 2020 to maintain a coherent international tax system in a digitalizing world.

The document analyzes Argentina's economy and provides recommendations. It finds that while reforms since 2016 have benefited the economy, challenges remain. Continuing reforms are needed to achieve stronger, more inclusive growth by reducing imbalances, strengthening institutions, integrating globally, and completing structural changes in markets, workforce policies, and fiscal policy. Faster progress on reforms would help Argentina realize further gains from policies already enacted and lay the foundation for robust, shared prosperity.

The document summarizes key findings from the OECD's 2021 report on tax administration in 59 advanced and emerging economies. It finds that e-filing and e-payment are becoming the norm, with rates increasing significantly between 2014 and 2019. It also finds that tax administrations are improving services through new pre-filling approaches and digital/virtual interactions. Additionally, more sophisticated use of data is allowing compliance work to focus more on prevention through risk identification. However, increasing responsibilities and salary costs mean budget increases do not always keep pace.

Broadband expansion in France from 1997-2007 led to an increase in firm-level imports. Local access to broadband internet increased small and medium firm imports by around 25% after 5 years. This implies that without broadband expansion, French imports over 2001-2007 would have been around 15% lower. The effect was driven by firms importing from more countries and product categories with no change in spending per import. Imports of capital goods saw larger effects than other goods, suggesting broadband raised productivity. Around 25% of the total estimated consumer welfare gains from broadband in France can be attributed to increased imports.
The document discusses the potential for deeper economic integration between the EU and Mediterranean partner countries through regulatory harmonization. Specifically:
1) It argues that moving beyond free trade to selectively adopt EU regulatory frameworks could facilitate economic adjustment, regional integration, and services trade liberalization for Mediterranean partners.
2) Reforming sectors like transport, telecom, electricity, and finance could have particularly strong payoffs by addressing market failures and catalyzing domestic reforms.
3) The EU's experience with integration and enlargement shows that regulatory harmonization can boost economic growth when combined with domestic adjustment policies.
The document is an OECD economic survey of Luxembourg that discusses several key topics:
1. Luxembourg has one of the highest GDP per capita and well-being outcomes in the OECD due to high incomes from the large financial sector.
2. However, the economy is highly dependent on the financial sector, creating vulnerabilities. Economic diversification could raise productivity and reduce risk.
3. Other sections evaluate strengthening the financial sector through regulation, raising productivity through more R&D investment, improving education, and increasing female labor participation to further diversify the economy.

John Davies, Head of the Competition Division, discusses regulatory reform and its impact on productivity and economic growth. The OECD has developed a toolkit to assess existing laws and regulations for their effect on competition. This toolkit was applied in a joint project between the OECD and Mexico's competition agency covering several sectors. It was also used to review four sectors in Greece, identifying over €5 billion in potential annual consumer benefits from regulatory changes. The document concludes with plans for the OECD to work jointly with Romania's competition council to review three sectors and provide recommendations.
This document discusses the economic impact of obesity and the potential for prevention policies to improve health outcomes and reduce costs. It finds that obese patients incur higher healthcare costs than normal-weight patients. Obesity accounts for a significant portion of healthcare budgets in many countries. Comprehensive prevention packages that combine measures like media campaigns, food labeling, and counseling could tackle obesity in a cost-effective way. Prevention is found to save lives by reducing obesity, extend healthy years, and ultimately reduce health expenditures through avoided treatment costs, though the effects may take decades to be realized. Prevention strategies are considered a good long-term investment for both developed and developing countries.

The document is an OECD economic survey of Latvia that discusses key economic challenges and recommendations. It finds that while Latvia has recovered from the financial crisis, growth has slowed and income inequality remains high. It recommends that Latvia reduce income inequality by targeting social benefits better, lower taxes on low-paid jobs, and strengthen tax collection. It also suggests raising productivity by improving regulation, vocational education, and R&D investment to support robust economic convergence. Further, Latvia should limit economic volatility by building fiscal reserves to cope with external shocks and continuing financial sector oversight.

ENV GLOBAL FORUM OCT 2016 - Session 2 - Bernd MEYEROECD Environment
The document discusses the macroeconomic impacts of a circular economy based on modeling work from the POLFREE project. It finds that pursuing a circular economy through global cooperation could meet ambitious environmental targets while increasing GDP and employment. If cooperation is not possible, the EU pursuing circular policies alone could still benefit from first-mover advantages in green growth and jobs. However, a business-as-usual scenario risks serious environmental damage and slower economic growth. Ongoing modeling work is needed to further assess policy mixes and facilitate country-level recommendations.

Oman has become the 4th GCC or Gulf Cooperation Council member state that introduced VAT or Value Added Tax regulations. The date of VAT implementation in Oman is the 16th of April, 2021. This is a significant move in relation to VAT in the GCC member states since Saudi Arabia significantly increased the rate for VAT in the country to fifteen percent from five percent back in May 2020.
The move of Saudi Arabia, as reported by the BBC, shores up state finances at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Saudi Arabia’s move was also to diversify the economy in order to reduce the country’s reliance on income from oil and gas.
VIETNAMESE MARKET ANALYSIS Practical and Legal PerspectiveDr. Oliver Massmann
The document is a presentation by Oliver Massmann of Duane Morris Vietnam LLC providing an overview of investing in Vietnam. It discusses why Vietnam is an attractive investment destination due to its strong economic growth rates and integration into regional and international trade agreements. Several key points are made about Vietnam's economy in 2015, its transition from a rice importer to exporter, and projected growth rates. The benefits of trade agreements such as the ASEAN Economic Community, EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, and Trans-Pacific Partnership for Vietnam and foreign investors are also summarized.
LAWYER IN VIETNAM DR. OLIVER MASSMANN - EU-VIETNAM FREE TRADE AGREEMENTDr. Oliver Massmann
The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) was concluded in 2015 after 14 rounds of negotiations. It aims to eliminate over 99% of tariffs between the EU and Vietnam, providing significant opportunities for trade and investment. The EVFTA was later split into separate trade and investment agreements, and its ratification is still pending. Once in effect, it will boost Vietnam's GDP by 10-15% and exports by 30-40% over 10 years by opening EU markets of over 500 million consumers to Vietnamese goods and services. The EVFTA also commits Vietnam to reforms improving market access for EU firms in areas like government procurement, services, and investment dispute settlement. It establishes a new standard for comprehensive free trade
The document is an introduction to the World Economic Forum's report "The Global Enabling Trade Report 2014". It discusses the report's focus on measuring countries' trade facilitation performance and identifying obstacles to trade. It also acknowledges the data providers that contributed to the report.
This document summarizes the key aspects of digital finance and the European Commission's digital finance strategy. The strategy aims to (1) eliminate fragmentation in the digital single market for finance, (2) provide consumers access to cross-border financial services, (3) ensure regulations promote digital innovation while protecting consumers, and (4) create a European financial data space to encourage data-driven innovation in finance. The strategy also focuses on identifying and addressing risks related to the digital transformation of the financial sector.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is a global organization established in 1995 to oversee international trade rules between member nations. It is composed of 164 member countries and replaced the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The WTO aims to raise living standards, ensure full employment, expand production and trade in goods and services, and optimize the use of the world's resources sustainably. However, some argue WTO agreements may erode the autonomy of developing nations' governance and priorities by favoring developed countries' interests over self-reliant growth.
Global factors that are shaping UK business activity assignment 2 task 2John Brian Lee
The document discusses several global factors that are shaping UK business activity, including international trade, the BRIC economies, and EU policies. It explores how international trade provides opportunities for UK businesses but also barriers like tariffs and regulations. The growth of the BRIC countries impacts UK businesses through expanding markets and competition. While joining the EU aimed to create a larger trade market, some EU policies have increased regulatory burdens, which the UK government is trying to reduce through initiatives like "one-in, two-out" rules.
TH True Milk is a Vietnamese dairy company established in 2008 that produces and sells milk and dairy products. It has experienced rapid growth, with its market share in fresh milk in urban retail channels reaching 40% in 2018. TH True Milk exports fresh milk to China, becoming the first Vietnamese company to do so in 2019. China represents an opportunity for TH True Milk due to its large dairy market and increasing dairy imports, but it also faces barriers like tariffs and competition from other dairy companies.
The document provides an overview of how the internet and digital economy interact and discusses several related topics:
- It describes how economics concepts like supply and demand, costs and benefits, and incentives help explain decisions made online.
- It discusses different business models in the digital economy like selling goods/services, advertising, user-generated content, and how "winner takes all" outcomes often occur.
- It also covers issues like technology development, competition/antitrust laws and cases against companies like Microsoft and Google, digital taxation, trade agreements, and how various organizations address internet governance and economic issues.
Lawyer in Vietnam Oliver Massmann Foreign Direct InvestmentDr. Oliver Massmann
Vietnam has implemented numerous legal changes to improve its business environment and attract foreign direct investment as it prepares for trade agreements like the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement. New laws clarify definitions, facilitate mergers and acquisitions, reduce restrictions on sectors, and allow greater foreign ownership of real estate. However, Vietnam's bureaucracy still poses challenges for foreign investors, with unpredictable outcomes and delays. Despite issues, foreign investment continues as Vietnam works to modernize its economy.

The document discusses global value chains (GVCs) and their implications for policy. It notes that participation in GVCs has increased significantly for both OECD and non-OECD economies between 1995 and 2009. Barriers to imports are effectively barriers to exports as GVCs involve both imports and exports of goods and services. Facilitating trade and improving services policies can help countries better participate in and benefit from GVCs. Complementary policies around social, environmental, and governance frameworks also influence how smoothly resources flow within GVCs.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.
Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
