• A Unique Approach for Developing Countries

International trade in electrical and electronic products is becoming increasingly competitive. To develop their electrotechnical industry sector, to gain access to regional or international markets and to make sure that imported electrical and electronic goods are safe and reliable, developing countries have access to IEC International Standards and Conformity Assessment (CA) systems. The combination of IEC International Standards and CA systems makes products safer and more reliable, increasing consumer confidence and public safety. The IEC, founded in 1906, prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies -- collectively known as electrotechnology. It has 81 members and 81 affiliates. All IEC International Standards are consensus-...

• Mobile Technology: Driving Change and Opportunity in Developing Countries

Most people take the convenience of using a mobile phone for granted, but for billions of people, mobile devices and services can transform their lives. A recent study reported that adding an extra ten mobile phones per 100 people in a typical developing country boosts economic growth in gross domestic product per person by 0.8 percentage points. People in emerging markets are using mobile technology in more powerful ways than those in the developed world. In developing countries, new mobile technologies such as data services, mobile phone-based agriculture and business advice, health care and money transfer are providing enormous economic and development benefits. Some mobile banking services are better developed in African countries than in advanced markets like the US. With the adopt...

• Präferenzielle Ursprungsregeln in Freihandelszonen: Hemmnisse Für Den Internationalen Handel?

The growing number of free trade areas has resulted in an increasing importance of preferential rules of origin. Regularly, these instruments are used as protectionist devices. Rules of origin are becoming obstacles for international trade. In this paper, firstly the various types of rules of origin and their administration will be explained. The analysis of the consequences for international trade shows that rules of origin can produce trade diversion. The attempts of the European Union to reduce the welfare-reducing effects of free trade areas by creating pan-European rules of origin have been only partly successful. The rules of origin in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) show a clear protectionist bias in some product groups.

• New Faces in Finnish Design

Finland's excellence in design stems in part from the country's embrace of design as an integral element of its national identity and culture. [Kaisa Blomstedt] noted that Finland's government is a driving force behind the country's design excellence. Guided by the Finnish dictum that "good design is every man's right," the Finnish government supports design schools as well as young designers with generous funding, grants, and subsidies. "Finnish companies invest heavily in design research and development and have a long-term corporate collaboration with universities," noted [Osmo Lipponen]. He cited Nokia's recent NY Foundation for the Arts "Inspiration Award" for bringing art to mobile devices and made it clear that "high tech doesn't sell unless it's accompanied by good design."
