The European Community represents one of the primary destinations for Indian goods, accounting for one fifth of Indian exports. Indian goods have been at the receiving end of a significant majority of anti subsidy investigations initiated by the European Commission. Such goods have been alleged to be benefiting from subsidies inconsistent with Council Regulation 2026/97 which forms the legal basis for anti subsidy investigations initiated by the Commission. The paper puts forth an analysis of India's export incentive schemes including old schemes already subjected to challenge as well as new schemes vulnerable to challenge in future investigations with regard to the Council Regulation 2026/97 and the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.

Farmers livelihood was threatened further by the growing amount of livestock being eaten by snow leopards; predators were reportedly taking 12.4% of livestock, resulting in an annual loss of US$23,250. Retributive killing of snow leopards was rife. A need to curtail this killing sparked the inception of the Snow Leopard Conservancy India Trust, which led a series of brainstorming sessions with villagers, resulting in the idea that tourism could be a viable option to help supplement livelihoods. Building on local strengths villagers decided that a homestay program would be the best way to utilize their resources to earn an additional income. Programs like this not only improve rural livelihoods through access to the previously inaccessible tourism market, but also provide tourists with a...

Acumen Fund has also developed successful public-private partnerships between entrepreneurs, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and...
In this case, the elephants are trailing the mouse; both Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds have picked up on not just the concept of moist snuff or "snus," which is the original Swedish word for this, but adopted the name itself. RJ Reynolds launched "Camel Snus" and Philip Morris "Marlboro Snus" in 2006 and 2007. Snus is the Swedish term for moist snuff - a minor part of the global tobacco business "owned" by Swedish Match, which for good reason holds a market leader position in the segment. Who knows how the playing field will change, as more and more societies in the world make it harder and harder for nicotine users to light up.

Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, managed to erase "free and undistorted competition" from the proposed new EU Treaty as a main aim of the European Union. Afterwards, he asked rhetorically what competition has done for Europe. This article is an attempt to reply to that very important question. The view of competition and its effects among decision-makers is likely to affect numerous policy outcomes. Throughout history, there has been a struggle between freedom and control in Europe. Competition is the result of economic freedom and the absence of interventions in the economy by the state. And it has done very much indeed for Europe. It may be the single most important reason why the average income in Western Europe is 14 times higher today than in 1820. If anything, Europe needs mo...
