Internal Factors Sample Clauses

Internal Factors. Chapter 3 will examine the internal factors. This analysis will distinguish between drafting factors and other factors that may have existed at the time of the signing of the Conventions but are not related to semantic choices. The drafting factors will be identified on the basis of examples of terms and concepts used in the Conventions. These examples will be selected from judicial decisions and Travaux Préparatoires that suggest their potential power to induce fragmentation.

Internal Factors. Arguably, the main internal factors are developments in the field of EU common security and defence, domestic defence policy reforms in Japan, and bilateral relations between EU member states and Japan. The EU has only slowly developed its CSDP and still only has a very limited autonomous military capacity. The CSDP has existed for a considerable period in the shadow of the EU economic policy development. In 1988 France and the UK endorsed the idea of EU military capacity in the St Malo Declaration, but only in 1999 did it receive support from the European Council. Yet the 1997 Amsterdam Treaty established the position of High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), building on the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which had introduced the European Security and Defence Policy. Only by 2003 did the EU introduce practical steps such as the first civilian EU police mission to Bosnia, the first EU military operation, known as Concordia, deployed to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and the publication of the European Security Strategy (European Council 2003). A further consolidation of CSDP efforts took place with the 2007 Lisbon Treaty that introduced a range of defence-relevant clauses, including Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), mutual assistance, solidarity commitment and the establishment of the European External Action Service. Prior to the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU thus lacked clear institutional mechanisms and policies in the field of security and defence. Still some EU–Japan security cooperation existed even prior to the Lisbon Treaty, involving, for example, non-proliferation, climate, and energy security, all sponsored by UN treaties or protocols. In addition, the need to respond to natural disasters facilitated some cooperation in the sector of civil protection, an area where the EU had begun to develop its own mechanisms (Xxxxxxxx et al 2014). The EU also had sufficient authority to establish some cooperation in economic security prior to the Lisbon Treaty. The security provisions of the Lisbon Treaty increased the scope of security cooperation after 2010, but the EU lacks capacity to be an effective partner in addressing the militarised threats Japan faces in its region which could explain lagging cooperation in the regional and military security. Particular interests of EU member states can impede, but on occasion also promote, EU–Japan level security cooperation. For example, both France and th...

Internal Factors.  A disruption in information systems processing  Quality of personnel hired, and methods of training utilized  Changes in management responsibilitiesEnvironmental conditions in the data center  Acquisition and integration activities  Types of fraud and fraud opportunities Risk Assessment/Analysis AvidXchange’s methodology for analyzing risk varies, largely because many risks are difficult to quantify. Nonetheless, the process includes:  Estimating the significance of the risk  Assessing the likelihood of the risk occurring  Considering how the risk should be mitigated Risk analysis is an essential process to AvidXchange’s success. It includes identification of key business processes where potential exposures to some consequences exist. Once the significance and likelihood of the risk have been assessed, management considers how the risk should be mitigated. This involves judgment based on assumptions about the risk and reasonable analysis of costs associated with reducing the level of risk. Necessary actions are taken to reduce the significance or likelihood of the risk occurring. As a part of the risk assessment process, AvidXchange performs annual risk assessments to determine the minimum set of controls required to reduce and maintain risk at an acceptable level. Additional evaluations are completed when significant changes occur that potentially cause risk. Response AvidXchange has implemented proactive programs, such as impact analysis and integrated operational contingency plans to ensure that effective risk response plans can be implemented and coordinated in a timely and effective manner. To ensure that activities related to actual risk events are effectively coordinated, each business unit and corporate resource division has developed and implemented event management and escalation processes. Pre-established notification lists and response procedures ensure that subject matter experts, customers and other stakeholders are appropriately involved in problems resolution. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES PROVIDED Products AvidXchange’s product suite (Avid Suite) helps both buyers and suppliers better manage the processes of paying and getting paid. For buyers, AvidXchange delivers software-as-a-service solutions that increase the efficiency of strategic value of the accounts payable processes. The Avid Suite of solutions is divided into the following categories:  Procurement Solutions o Solutions designed to help customers process and distribute pu...

Internal Factors. Mandates and Missions Management of each protected area is ultimately governed by a particular combination of legislative mandates and agency policies. We present analyses of area-specific policy framework to facilitate comparison of management goals and identification of potential constraints to the development of binational cooperative management programs. Cañon de Santa Xxxxx Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna Cañon de Santa Xxxxx Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna (CSE) was established by decree on November 7, 1994. The primary reasons for creating this protected area included its ecological representation of the Chihuahuan Desert, the number of sensitive and protected species occupying the area, the diverse geological and hydrological features, abundant historical and cultural resources, and the diversity of desert and forest ecosystems. The management plan indicates that the primary goals of CSE are to preserve the region’s natural habitats and fragile ecosystems, to preserve biological diversity and maintain evolutionary and ecological processes, and to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources by local residents and communities (SEMARNAP 1997). Specific management objectives include preserving biological diversity (particularly wildlife species), developing programs for the sustainable use of natural resources in this ecosystem, preventing ecological damage as a result of non-regulated or illicit activities, raising community awareness of the benefits of conserving biological, paleontological, and cultural resources, and encouraging local economic development via non-consumptive activities such as eco-tourism. The management plan does not contain explicit language relating to international cooperative activities, but there are no regulations/policies that inhibit participation in cooperative programs with the United States. Maderas del Xxxxxx Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna Maderas del Xxxxxx Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna (MDC) was established by decree in 1994 after more than 60 years of effort by researchers, protected area managers, politicians, and NGOs to protect the Sierra del Xxxxxx mountains that rise dramatically from the desert floor. The creation of MDC was an important step towards the protection of a large expanse of the Chihuahuan Desert along the international border (in addition to BGWMA, BBNP, BBRSP, and CSE). The MDC management plan indicates that the primary objective of this protected area is to conserve native...
