Book Description
Lease contracts provide a promising format for capturing the potential efficiency gains of private participation in the water supply sector. But to ensure that these gains accrue to society as a whole, lease contracts must be carefully designed and the responsible public authority must be capable of fulfilling the monitoring and regulatory role effectively.

Public and Private Participation in the Water and Wastewater Sector
Author: Cledan Mandri-Perrott
Publisher: IWA Publishing
ISBN: 184339118X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Public and Private Participation in the Water and Wastewater Sector provides practical guidance on applying Public Private Partnership structures within the constraints of European legislation, with examples on how to ensure consistency with EU procurement, competition law and the Water Framework Directive. It reconciles the need for adequate regulation within the context of a monopoly provision of service – a major concern of the European competition policy. The purpose of this book is to provide practical guidance on how to introduce a Public Private Partnership (PPP) as a strategy towards helping meet the demands for massive capital investments and improved management and performance in the water and wastewater sector. The introduction of PPPs within a European context needs to be assessed against compliance with basic EU law principles related to Competition and the Water Framework Directive. International legal structures in the management, distribution and treatment of water are discussed. There is a brief overview of the present realities of European integration, the political and legal aspects involved in the water sector and two cases in which a viable solution was reached and which form the basis of this research. The book examines the general principles of EU law in terms of competition and procurement and how other directives have an impact on PPP. It then assesses the specific rules applicable to PPP in the EU context, and their implications in designing water PPPs. The book concludes with a review of two case studies (the City of Sofia, Bulgaria and the City of Tallinn, Estonia) that show how the Public Private Partnership structure chosen provides a sound legal basis and a viable way to achieve compliance with Community law and the Water Framework Directive, thus assisting the process of accession to the EU for each country. Public and Private Participation in the Water and Wastewater Sector: Developing Sustainable Legal Mechanisms is principally aimed at supporting municipal, provincial, and central governments and other policy makers seeking to improve water services. It is a must read for policymakers and practitioners seeking to navigate through the intricacies of EU legislation and the complexities of public private partnerships. The principles addressed in this book will also be useful outside the European context.

The Changing Role of the State

ISBN:
Category : Developing countries
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
The quality - not the size - of the state is what counts. And a prerequisite for changing the role of the state is an improved political process. Without that, any new development strategy will fail.

Book Description
Two approaches took the lead in the negotiations to dismantle the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA): (1) a phaseout within the framework of the MFA, proposed by developing countries, the EC, Japan, and the Nordic countries, and (2) a new transitional structure relying on global quotas with country allotments for current quota holders, suggested by the United States and Canada.

The Coordinated Reform of Tariffs and Domestic Indirect Taxes
Author: Pradeep Mitra
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Foreign trade regulation
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Tariff reform for trade liberalization must be seen as part of a broader program of tax reform. Custom duties on imports should be geared chiefly to protection. Reductions in such duties to promote an outward- oriented development strategy should be offset by increases in sales/value- added taxes applied equally to imports and domestic production. That would maintain public revenues and avoid exacerbating macroeconomic dificulties.

Health Insurance in Zaire
Author: Donald S. Shepard
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Health insurance
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
This in-depth study of health insurance schemes in Zaire recommends developing more pilot insurance systems in areas where health systems already function - and strengthening existing systems through training, exchange visits, information systems, and technical assistance. Implementing a nationwide health insurance system is not likely to be as successful as decentralized, locally managed plans.

Die Vermessung des Unbekannten
Author: Thomas Mayer
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 3960929161
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
Seit uns der Glaube an die göttliche Vorsehung abhandengekommen ist, flüchten wir uns in den Versuch, die Zukunft mit mathematischen Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu vermessen und radikale Unsicherheit in berechenbare und somit versicherbare Risiken zu überführen. Da wir nicht alles privat versichern können, haben wir einen »Versicherungsstaat« errichtet, der den Auftrag hat, unsere Lebensrisiken zu minimieren und uns gegen die Restrisiken abzusichern. Doch dies ist eine Illusion. So sehr wir es uns auch wünschen mögen: Die Zukunft lässt sich nicht vermessen und fundamentale Ungewissheiten lassen sich nicht in kalkulierbare Risiken überführen. Das hat bereits die Große Finanzkrise gezeigt und wird in der Corona-Pandemie eindrucksvoll bestätigt. Dennoch schwingt sich der Staat zum obersten Risikomanager auf. Um die daraus entstehenden Kosten zu stemmen, besteuert der Staat seine Bürger bis zur teilweisen Konfiszierung ihrer Vermögen. Schlussendlich zerstört die Risikogesellschaft – in dem Bemühen, der radikalen Unsicherheit zu entgehen – sich selbst, und der Versicherungsstaat muss Konkurs anmelden. Thomas Mayer, einer der renommiertesten deutschen Wirtschaftsexperten und mehrmaliger Manager-Magazin-Bestsellerautor, zeigt, wie es dazu kam, dass wir den Umgang mit fundamentaler Ungewissheit verlernt haben, und welche tiefgreifenden Konsequenzen dies in Wirtschaft, Finanzen, Politik und Gesellschaft hat. Er bleibt jedoch nicht bei der Analyse des Problems stehen, sondern zeigt auf, wie ein richtiger Umgang mit radikaler Unsicherheit aussehen könnte, und hat konkrete Empfehlungen für den Einzelnen, der unter den Bedingungen einer kurzsichtigen Politik wirtschaftliche Entscheidungen für die Zukunft treffen muss. »Thomas Mayer ist einer der besten Kenner der Marktwirtschaft sowie des Finanz- und Geldsystems, einer, der [...] nicht im Elfenbeinturm der Wissenschaft stecken bleibt.« Frank Schäffler

Automotive Air Pollution

Pages : 131
Book Description
Automotive air pollution will intensify with increasing urbanization and the rapid pace of motorization in developing countries. Without effective measures to curb air pollution, some 300-400 million city dwellers in developing countries will become exposed to unhealthy and dangerous levels of air pollution by the end of the century. Administratively simple policies that encourage clean fuels and better traffic management are the most promising approach to controlling vehicle pollutant emissions in developing countries.
