Concluding remarks In this paper, we suggested an approach to derive and refine SLAs to use in safety assurance of factories. Moreover, we showed that a safety property can be decomposed into various parameters in an SLA with possible dependencies among different components using a case study. In the use case we show three pillars, however in other industrial applications these pillars may vary. The proposed approach is an initial attempt to address challenges related to integrating safety in SLAs. Ongoing work aims at investigating the dependencies of parameters and their reflections to SLAs in such an approach. Moreover, we are aiming at proposing a formal way of capturing the dependencies, possibly developing a supporting tool so to show whether, for each parameter instantiation, the safety invariant is violated.
Concluding remarks In this paper, vertical contracts between airports and airlines in the context of two competing facilities and three different types of agreements have been considered. Specifically, we have developed a multistage facility-rivalry game and we have investigated the Xxxx equilibrium to analyse the incentives for vertical contracts and the effects in terms of welfare, consumer surplus and pro- competitiveness. The paper adds to existing literature as it considers the issue of vertical contracts both in the airport competition and airline competition: indeed, we have analysed the case of a leader and n- 1 followers at each facility. Moreover, airports do not compete for the airlines but compete through airlines to get passengers. With respect to the issue of airlines competition, results show that with an increase in the number of followers in the downstream market there is a decrease in the equilibrium prices at each facility. The total number of flights offered increase at each facility as a consequence of the decreasing prices. Both consumer surplus and welfare increase with an increase in the number of followers: competitiveness in the airlines market has positive effects in social terms. With respect to the issue of airports competition, we have found that the airport and the dominant airline at each facility may have incentive to collude. The result differs from the findings of Barbot (2009a), where there are no incentives for collusive agreements when both pairs of firms share the same market. Our findings depend on the hypothesis that in the model, i.e., infinite linear city, there would be some consumers for whom the sum of the flight’s price plus the total transportation costs would exceed their reservation price: in other words, we do not assume that the market is covered. The results raise some policy issues and avenues for future research. In particular, the merger implies a downstream market foreclosure through a price-squeeze strategy: the follower airlines are driven out of the market and the equilibrium is anti-competitive. On the other hand, consumers’ surplus and welfare increase with respect to the case in which no agreement occurs: indeed final quantities increase and final prices for consumers decrease because of the internalization of vertical externalities due to a double-marginalization effect. Therefore, the agreement exhibits a trade-off between competitiveness and welfare. In addition, the equilibrium is not efficient in soc...
Concluding a comprehensive treaty agreement with the Province and Canada by any of the Coastal First Nations does not preclude those First Nations from remaining a Party to this Protocol.
Concluding remarks At this point, we can look back and review the main aspects of the present proposal. The basic insight is that two central aspects of clausal syntax - temporal structure and person agreement - can be related in a non-trivial way within a general theory of logophoricity. I have proposed a view of logophoricity based on the novel notion of logophoric centre. The LC is a speech or mental event that is intrinsically endowed with at least one participant and with temporal coordinates. There are two main types of logophoric centre. The external LC corresponds to the external speech event (subsuming the reichenbachian S point). All other speech or mental events may constitute internal logophoric centres. These can be licensed contextually on a semantic/pragmatic basis, or alternatively, they can enter an anaphoric relation with a syntactically expressed speech or mental event. On the basis of the notion of logophoric centre, we have arrived at a new conception of finiteness. This syntactic feature encodes the logophoric orientation of the clause. More specifically:
Concluding. Floating development is competitive to land reclamation in both deep and shallow waters (when exceeding certain depth). In fact, land reclamation in deep waters does not make much sense. The floating Space@Sea platforms are innovative but floating for offshore housing is not very new as ships and barges are currently a common used practice. It does, however, offer a competitive option to current second-hand barges in terms of space and quality and in comparison with the new crew ship which it competes financially. It is worth further investigation and production. Floating development also has a lot more environmental benefits as it does not wipe out bentho community growing on the seabed or cause other damages. Additionally, floating has a very innovative and visionary image, which contributes to the PR and marketing value for projects.
Concluding. COMMENTS As with all commercial matters, there are always risks to each party, and all risks cannot be eliminated. But, with careful management, the risks can be accepted. Acceptance of some risks associated with granting a right of first refusal or an option to negotiate for a license makes possible material transfer and research agreements that otherwise would be commercially unreasonable for a commercial company.
Concluding local agreements Information and discussions regarding work assignments and possible use of systems of working hours according to this Agreement, shall be taken up with the shop stewards in accordance with the Basic Agreement, § 9-3. Negotiations regarding systems of working hours shall be based on the systems that may be possible/relevant in the particular case. When concluding a local agreement, importance must be attached to HSE and consideration of the employees’ family life and welfare, as well as the productivity of the enterprise and completion of the project. One of the standardised working plan systems, on which the parties agree, shall preferably be used. See also the Industry Agreement, Engineering Industry Part, § 8.4.1, 8.
Concluding remarks COz-taxes for industry were introduced in 1993. In 1996, the taxes were increased and an agreement system for energy-intensive companies was implemented. The main purpose of the agreement system has been to allow energy-intensive industry to pay a reduced tax rate, while at the same time improving energy efficiency. The evaluation of the energy tax system has shown that it has been possible to estab lish an energy tax system that has led to a decrease in COz-emissions, without causing a decrease in the competitiveness of trade, industry and services. The agreement sy stem has been a very important element in that it has improved energy efficiency in companies in which taxes would not have been a realistic instrument. In the case of companies with agreements, several studies suggest improvements of approximately 2.7% of the total energy use per agreement (three years). The three sources (concrete projects, special investigation and energy management) contribute approximately one third of this reduction each. The values for special investigation and energy management must be used with great care. It is also predicted that a continuation of the agreement system by 2005, relative to a situation without agreements, can lead to a decrease in COz-emissions corresponding to 6% of total emissions in industry and trade. Of this reduction, the highest amount is due to energy management. However, maintaining the positive effects of energy management systems will require that companies give higher priority to the managerial part of the system and not only focus on energy accounting. Some companies have argued that it is costly to carry out energy audits and to have the audits verified. Therefore, consideration should be given to possibilities for redu cing the administrative costs of entering into an agreement, without this causing redu ced efforts to save energy. A means of achieving these objectives could be to reduce the requirement for energy audits and verification, and instead increase focus on ener gy management and special investigations in order to attain the full potential of these instruments.
