Rights under GATT Sample Clauses

Rights under GATT. In 1947, twenty-three nations signed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT),28 which laid out the basic framework for the international trade in the post-World War II era.29 The objectives of GATT were to raise living standards, ensure full employment, and develop “the full use of the resources of the world and expand[] the production and exchange of goods.”30 To achieve these objectives, GATT called for “substantial reduction of tariffs and other barriers to trade [and] elimination of discriminatory treatment in international commerce.”31 While GATT’s primary goal was to break down trade barriers, it also allowed contracting parties to impose restrictions on trade under certain circumstances. For example, GATT Art. XX(b) allows contracting parties to take necessary restrictive measures “to protect human, animal or plant life or health,” on the condition that such measures are not arbitrary or discriminatory and do not constitute a disguised restriction on international trade.32 In addition, GATT Art. XX(d) permits contracting parties to take necessary measures to pro- tect “patents, trademarks and copyrights, and the prevention of decep-

  • Actions under the Program The actions taken by the Recipient under the Program include the following:

  • Rights Under The Federal Power Act Nothing in this Section shall restrict the rights of any Interconnection Party to file a complaint with FERC under relevant provisions of the Federal Power Act.

  • Statement of Rights Under the Newborns’ and Mothers Health Protection Act Under federal law, group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group healthcare coverage generally may not restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than forty-eight (48) hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than ninety-six (96) hours following a delivery by cesarean section. However, the plan or issuer may pay for a shorter stay if the attending provider (e.g., your physician, nurse midwife, or physician assistant), after consultation with the mother, discharges the mother or newborn earlier. Also, under federal law, plans and issuers may not set the level of benefits or out-of- pocket costs so that any later portion of the 48-hour (or 96-hour) stay is treated in a manner less favorable to the mother or newborn than any earlier portion of the stay. In addition, a plan or issuer may not, under federal law, require that a physician or other healthcare provider obtain authorization for prescribing a length of stay of up to 48 hours (or 96 hours). In accordance with R.I. General Law §27-20-17.1, this plan covers a minimum inpatient hospital stay of forty-eight (48) hours from the time of a vaginal delivery and ninety-six

  • How We Calculate Benefits Under These Rules When this plan is secondary, it may reduce its benefits so that the total benefits paid or provided by all plans are not more than the total allowable expenses. In determining the amount to be paid for any claim, the secondary plan will calculate the benefits it would have paid in the absence of other healthcare coverage and apply that calculated amount to any allowable expense under its plan that is unpaid by the primary plan. The secondary plan may then reduce its payment by the amount so that, when combined with the amount paid by the primary plan, the total benefits paid or provided by all plans for the claim do not exceed the total allowable expense for that claim. In addition, the secondary plan shall credit to its plan deductible any amounts it would have credited to its deductible in the absence of other healthcare coverage.

  • Can I Roll Over or Transfer Amounts from Other IRAs or Employer Plans If properly executed, you are allowed to roll over a distribution from one Traditional IRA to another without tax penalty. Rollovers between Traditional IRAs may be made once every 12 months and must be accomplished within 60 days after the distribution. Beginning in 2015, just one 60 day rollover is allowed in any 12 month period, inclusive of all Traditional, Xxxx, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs owned. Under certain conditions, you may roll over (tax-free) all or a portion of a distribution received from a qualified plan or tax-sheltered annuity in which you participate or in which your deceased spouse participated. In addition, you may also make a rollover contribution to your Traditional IRA from a qualified deferred compensation arrangement. Amounts from a Xxxx XXX may not be rolled over into a Traditional IRA. If you have a 401(k), Xxxx 401(k) or Xxxx 403(b) and you wish to rollover the assets into an IRA you must roll any designated Xxxx assets, or after tax assets, to a Xxxx XXX and roll the remaining plan assets to a Traditional IRA. In the event of your death, the designated beneficiary of your 401(k) Plan may have the opportunity to rollover proceeds from that Plan into a Beneficiary IRA account. In general, strict limitations apply to rollovers, and you should seek competent advice in order to comply with all of the rules governing rollovers. Most distributions from qualified retirement plans will be subject to a 20% withholding requirement. The 20% withholding can be avoided by electing a “direct rollover” of the distribution to a Traditional IRA or to certain other types of retirement plans. You should receive more information regarding these withholding rules and whether your distribution can be transferred to a Traditional IRA from the plan administrator prior to receiving your distribution.
