Given the sharp rise in crude oil prices and growing awareness of climate change, the potential of biofuels, particularly of bioethanol, has become an ubiquitous topic of public debate and has induced ambitious policy initiatives. The latter are mostly paired with protectionist measures as the examples of the European Union and the United States show, where domestic producers of energy crops are put at an advantage thanks to subsidisation, direct payments and/or favourable tax schemes. Moreover, the EU is working out a mandatory certification scheme for ethanol imports, imposing social and environmental standards which constitute another hurdle for more efficiently produced ethanol originating in the Southern hemisphere. A similar path is taken by Switzerland's revised mineral oil tax l...

Private equity and the United Nations (UN) have some important common objectives that relate to the creation of a more sustainable and stable global economy. The good news for private equity is that these platforms now exist, and offer a range of immediate and longer-term benefits. There has been a radical change within some parts of the UN that has brought the UN closer to the worlds of business and finance. As a result of the long decades of the Cold War, indifference and mutual suspicion characterized the relationship between the UN and the corporate sector as recently as the late 1990s. This began to change with the launch of the Global Compact ten years ago when the UN invited companies to align their operations with ten universal principles covering human rights, workplace issues,...

In recent years, there has been much greater awareness of the need to engage the private sector directly in policy dialogue, particularly to trade negotiations related to enhanced market access. Since its inception, ITC's work in national sectoral and regional export strategy design and management has been based on the premise that export development and competitiveness are a function of a sound and enduring relationship between the public and private sectors. ITC advocates the formalization of public-private dialogue platforms through the establishment of National Export Councils (or their equivalent), which have legal recognition and authority. This provides for continuity and mainstreaming of the voice of the private sector. The result is a collaborative environment with strengthened...

In recent policy debates in Europe, the question 'what has competition done for Europe?' has been posed at the highest levels. This question merits careful reflection. Competition as it is understood by mainstream economic and legal scholars refers not to an ideology but to inter-firm rivalry in markets. Such rivalry ensures that consumers enjoy choice, low prices, and good value for money. The authors consider the historical origins and development as well as the current role and effects of competition policy in Europe. The latter includes legal provisions that address anti-competitive practices by firms and activities aimed at promoting competition in respect of potentially anti-competitive government measures. They conclude that such policy has made essential contributions to the hig...
