Air Quality Index
Explainers
What
is PM2.5?
PM stands for Particulate Matter.
PM2.5 are fine particles of diameter 2.5 micrometers or less. These particles
are invisible to a naked eye and can only be seen by using an electron
microscope. They are found in the air, including dust, dirt, soot, smoke, and
liquid droplets.
What
is PM10?
Similarly, PM10 are coarse dust
particles of diameter ranging between 2.5 micrometers to 10 micrometers.
What
is AQI & how is it calculated?
AQI stands for Air Quality Index.
It’s an Index to define the air quality which tells us how clean or polluted
the air is. There are six AQI categories namely Good, Satisfactory, Moderate,
Poor, Very Poor and Severe. The AQI considers eight pollutants (PM10, PM2.5,
NO2, SO2, CO, O3, NH3, and Pb). Based on the measured ambient concentrations of
these pollutants, a sub-index is calculated for each of these and the worst
sub-index reflects the overall AQI.
We calculate AQI based on various
pollutant values as per the slabs provided by CPCB on its website. The slabs only calculate the AQI to a maximum of 500.
We have linearly extrapolated the last slab (301-400) for all the pollutants to
show AQI beyond 500.

India Wavers on Emissions as Power

-------------------
It is a sad story that there is no
group of individuals or one or more organisations/agencies who are liable for
such a sorry state of affairs. For a number of years, even as early as
since the year 2000, many individuals and groups in the country have been
trying to draw the attention of the authorities to the perils awaiting our
communities from the pollution impacts of poorly run coal power sector. But
even many credible feedbacks on the draft of the Integrated Energy Policy in
2006 (by the Planing Commission of India), could not prevent that policy
recommending the continued over-reliance on coal power plants without much
focus on the pollution control measures or even recognising the social,
health and general environmental impacts.
------------------
There was another opportunity to
undertake a diligent review of the flawed coal-reliant power policy for
the country in the year 2012 when generation planning for 12th and 13th five
years plans was undertaken by CEA. Credible arguments were made, in the
form of feednback, to move away from the coal-reliant power sector paradigm for
the country but to no avail.

There’s no such thing as ‘healthy

Patrick Holden told the recent ‘Food: The Forgotten Medicine’ conference. But
after 70 years of industrial farming, there’s a huge job to be done to restore
depleted soils and the impoverished genetic diversity of seeds and crops.
Does the concept of a living planet
inspire and uplift you, or is it a disturbing example of woo-woo nonsense that
distracts us from practical, science-based policies? While no amount of
evidence can prove it false, we must acknowledge that the science that
militates against an intelligent, purposeful, living universe is ideologically
freighted and culturally-bound.

Govt unveils roadmap to tackle air pollution
Sisodia holds emergency meeting; measures include vacuum
cleaning of roads, sprinkling water on streets, and monitoring construction
sites for dust pollution
As various agencies termed the Capital’s air quality ‘severe’ in the
aftermath of Diwali celebrations, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government convened
an emergency meeting to chalk out a roadmap to combat air pollution.Following a lengthy meeting with representatives of various government departments at his Delhi Secretariat office, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that the government’s plan to tackle air pollution included the use of emission-control devices, resuming vacuum cleaning of arterial roads, sprinkling water on streets, and cutting dust pollution from construction sites.
More solutions
“Jet pressure pump technique will be used for sprinkling water on footpaths, road bumps and central verges. By doing this, we can control dust particles. In several countries, such technology is being used to curb dust pollution,” Mr. Sisodia said.
The Deputy CM said that the Public Works Department (PWD) was exploring the option of installing air purifiers and mist fountains at five major traffic intersections including Mukarba Chowk in northwest Delhi and Anand Vihar, which is the most polluted area in the Capital.
Mr. Sisodia said that the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has been told to carry out strict and regular inspections at construction sites of above 20,000 square meters and had also been directed to submit a detailed note about dust pollution from such sites.
“As much as 90 per cent of dust pollution comes from construction sites, which needs to be regulated. There are 61 major construction sites in Delhi, but there are several smaller sites and most of them are violating the rules,” the Deputy Chief Minister said.
Mr. Sisodia said that the government had also decided to make citizens aware about dust pollution.
“We will appeal to them to inform us about violations of rules. The Swachh Delhi App, developed by the Urban Development Department, can be used for this,” he said.
Sub-divisional magistrates and assistant engineers of the PWD have been asked to take action and issue challans against those storing construction material on roads.
Emission-control devices such as chimneys and wet scrubbers
will be installed at 75 cremation grounds in collaboration with all three
municipal corporations, the Deputy Chief Minister added.
Crushed by the cane lobby
November 3, 2016
The
Hindu – 3 November 2016: – Data suggest
that the private sector in Maharashtra is less efficient than the cooperatives
In
a move that marks the reversal of a decision made on October 4, the Maharashtra
State government has decided to start the sugar cane crushing season from
November 5 instead of December 1 as proposed earlier. The decision was made
taking into account apprehensions of weight loss due to late harvesting and of
‘poaching’ by millers of neighbouring Karnataka especially from the sugar
cane-rich Kolhapur and Sangli belt of western Maharashtra.
Rumblings
in the sugar sector
Maharashtra
is the largest producer of sugar in India, contributing almost 37 per cent of
the total national output. The 2016-17 sugar season is distinctly different for
three reasons. First, this year marks the completion of a decade since major
reforms were introduced in the Sugarcane Control (Order), 1966 via reduction of
the aerial distance limit between two sugar units to 15 km from 50 km and the
dropping of provision 5B, also known as “Bhargava formula”; the provision had
enabled limited profit sharing out of excessive realisation from the sale of
free sugar, in case of erratic cane supply, with cane farmers of the mill.
Second, the estimated availability of sugar cane this year stands at 445 lakh
tons, implying that the State will produce just 5 million tons (MT) of sugar as
against 8.5 MT last season. With just 90 days of crushing, a large number of
mills will remain shut resulting in idle machinery, extra manpower cost, and a
likely default on term-loan repayment leading to non-performing assets. Third,
the Raju Shetti-led Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana, championing the cause of
sugar cane farmers for the past 15 years, is agitating for an increased cane
price.
Cooperative
sugar mills have contributed largely to the development of rural Maharashtra by
providing consistent farm income to large shareholding members. But the
ownership profile of sugar factories in the State has undergone a major change
in the past decade with the amendment to Section 6A of the Sugarcane Control
(Order), 1966. The change has also been accentuated by the questionable
practice of lending banks, especially the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank,
taking over assets under the provisions of the SARFAESI (Securitisation and
Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest) Act,
2002. Data indicate that altogether 68 cooperative units were liquidated and
sold later to the private sector, to entities floated by cooperative barons
themselves, with a few exceptions.
The
bigwigs of the sugar cooperatives, including former State cooperative
ministers, floated private sugar units, in a way sowing the seeds of doubt on
the working and efficacy of the cooperative model. The number of private sugar
factories in Maharashtra has consistently increased from 2006-07. Almost 154
private sugar units have obtained Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum (IEM); at
present there are 78 operational private sugar mills with total crushing
capacity of 2.48 lakh tons of cane per day (TCD) as against a mere 12 private
units a decade ago. In comparison the number of operational cooperative units
stands at 102 with a capacity of 3.52 lakh TCD. Private sector capacity gradually
increased from 10 per cent of the total sugar production in the State to 45 per
cent.
Cooperatives
vs private mills
The
natural question that arises is how the increase in private sector
participation impacted the sugar cane payment and sugar recovery per ton of
sugarcane crushed. The change in ownership pattern has impacted the cane price
payment to the growers in the State (see graphs). To understand the payment
dynamics, it is essential to understand the process of Fair and Remunerative
Price (FRP), a payment model unique to Maharashtra. Unlike other cane-producing
States where the farmer brings his produce to the factory for crushing, in
Maharashtra it is picked up by sugar millers from the farmers’ fields to ensure
uninterrupted cane supply and smooth operations.
The
harvesting and transportation (H&T) cost thus incurred by millers is,
however, ultimately deducted from the FRP paid to the farmers. A year-on-year
analysis of H&T costs incurred by cooperative and private millers
illustrates the larger impact. The private units have incurred Rs.57.07,
Rs.48.58 and Rs.83.14 per ton on H&T more than cooperative units in
2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 respectively, implying thereby that the cane
farmers are burdened by an additional Rs.477.20 crore. Likewise, the
cooperative sector sugar recovery rate, which is directly linked to the FRP
paid to farmers, has always been higher than that of the private sector over
the same period.
The
difference between cooperative and private sector in recovery when monetised,
calculating on the basis of FRP fixed by the Government of India, comes to
Rs.1076.10 crore. Shockingly, in some cases cooperative sugar units reported
less H&T expenditure and better recovery before management was taken over
by the private sector. If both H&T and recovery are put together in
monetary terms, the ultimate loss is borne by sugar cane farmers due to
dwindling payments under private mills.
The
common belief is that the private sector is competitive, efficient and
professionally managed when compared to the cooperative sector. Ironically, the
private sugar sector in Maharashtra doesn’t stand the test of data. How can
such differences between cooperative and private sector in sugar recovery and
H&T cost — which are directly related to cane payment — be explained?
Cooperative
society members, with easy access to management, meetings of the board of
directors and vigilance on the factory premises during and after crushing,
bring in effective stakeholder participation in the overall working of mills.
As a result there is better sugar recovery and considerable reduction in cost
of H&T, thus financially benefitting the cane farmers. Given this backdrop,
the recent trend of cooperative sugar barons opting to set up private sugar
units despite overwhelming support of shareholders for the cooperative model is
alarming. This, when the entire country is looking to emulate the Maharashtra
sugar cooperatives’ model.
Steps
to control retail sugar prices — such as like putting stock limits on millers
and wholesale traders, capping of retail prices, increased cess and non-payment
of export incentives — succeed in providing relief to consumers even though
they impact the earnings of millers. In a similar manner, identifying and
effectively implementing steps to protect farmers’ interests is the need of the
hour. The provisions of the Maharashtra Regulation of Sugarcane Price (Supplied
to Factories) Act, 2013, enacted on the recommendation of the C. Rangarajan
committee, may provide an effective instrument for the administration to limit
H&T cost per ton of sugar cane and dwindling sugar recovery rate of the
private sector in the State.

Kerala declared drought-hit
Deficit of 69 p.c. rainfall forecast
even if 90 to 100 p.c. rainfall is received in November and December: Minister
All the 14 districts of Kerala have been declared
drought-hit by the government.
This was announced by Minister for Revenue, E.
Chandrasekharan in the Assembly on Monday while replying to a notice for an
adjournment motion moved by V. S. Sivakumar of Congress.
“There is a deficit 34 per cent rainfall in the
State during the South-West monsoon. During the North-East monsoon, it is
projected that we will have a deficit of 69 per cent rainfall even if 90 to 100
per cent rainfall is received in November and December. The State Disaster
Management Authority, at its meeting under Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on
October 28, has decided to declare the entire State as drought-hit,” he said.
Moratorium on farm loan
A moratorium will come into effect on the
agricultural loan taken by the farmers. The government will seek central aid to
overcome the crisis. The District Collectors have been given a 26-point
guideline to be followed for drought-relief, the Minister has said.
From June 1 this year to September 30, Kerala
received 1352.3 mm rain against the normal rainfall of 2039.7 mm, a deficiency
of 34 per cent.
There has been no rain in October and if this
situation continues, there will be drought-like situation, IMD, Thiruvananthapuram
Director S Sudevan, said.
“If the North East Monsoon fails then there will
be problems in different sectors — Agriculture, Power etc”, he told PTI.
Pinarayi sounds the warning Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, has also said that the State was heading for a “severe” drought as Kerala had received deficient rains in the South-West monsoon.
Though the North-East monsoon was yet to set in, the State had not received pre-monsoon showers, he said.
“A huge danger is lurking in the state in the form of drought as the South-West monsoon was deficient”, Mr. Vijayan had said at a function on Sunday.
RWH to be encouraged
“If this situation continues, the State is
heading for a severe drought. We need to take precautions,” he had said. To
tackle the situation, the government was also keen to encourage rain water
harvesting, he said.
There has been an average reduction of 22 per
cent water in the State’s dams when compared to the water storage in September
last year.
The State was also gearing up to take measures to
tackle scarcity of drinking water which is likely to be faced by the State due
to deficient monsoon, according to Water Resources Minister Mathew P Thomas.
The government also has plans to rejuvenate at
least 10,000 private temple ponds of the total 40,000 in the State.
The Chief Minister had convened
a high-level meeting on October 13 to work out plans to meet the impending
drought situation.

Behind the colours of Kathakali
Writer-photographer K.K. Gopalakrishnan describes vividly every
aspect of the art form in his book. Lalithaa Krishnan has the details.
Rooted in a rich 400-year heritage, Kathakali is
Kerala’s gift to the sphere of performing arts. A self-confessed Kathakali
bhranthan (fanatic) K.K. Gopalakrishnan, noted writer-photographer and
connoisseur specialising in Kerala performing arts, who currently serves as the
Director, Centre for Kutiyattam, Sangeet Natak Academy, guides the reader
through the origin, evolution, traditions and complexities of the genre, viewed
through the prism of personal experience in his book ‘Kathakali – Dance Theatre
– A Visual Narrative of Sacred Indian Mime’. The author navigates the vast
canvas with the familiarity of one treading home ground and the precision of an
insider who formally learnt the art.
Like his peers, KKG gained an appreciation of
Kathakali at an early age while still at school. Hailing from a tharavad famed
for its staunch patronage of the art, he gravitated towards Kutiyattam and
Kathakali performances. His father encouraged his interest which soon turned
into a governing passion. In the mid-80s, KKG became the founder-secretary of
the Kottayam Thampuran Memorial Kathakali Club which led to greater
opportunities for direct interaction with stellar artists. Simultaneously, he
began gaining recognition as a Kathakali reviewer. His big break came when he
was recruited by M.T. Vasudevan Nair to write a series for the weekly,
Mathrubhoomi, after which he also became a columnist for local and leading
publications. Giving up a secure job in the banking sector, he devoted himself
to a full-time study of the arts.
Kathakali is believed to have originated in the
17th Century from Ramanattam, in turn said to have been formulated as fitting
reply to Krishnattam, with all these genres being predated by Kootiyattam, the
most ancient extant form of Sanskrit dance-theatre. The similarities and
differences between them are clearly delineated. It was Kottayathu Thampuran,
the raja of Kottarakkara whose four classic oeuvres are prized as the holy
grail of Kathakali, who defined the essential form and content. The next phase
saw the evolution of regional styles — the northern Kallatikkotan shaped by
Vellath Chathu Panikkar and the southern Kaplingatan chiselled by Kaplingat
Narayanan Namboothiri. In Kannur, Kozhikode and Vatakara areas, the Katathanad
style germinated as a regional variant of the Kallatikkotan. Pioneered by
Nalloor Unniri Menon, the Kalluvazhi chitta, an integration of the
Kallatikkotan and Kaplingatan styles, flourished in the Palakkad district.
The institutionalisation of Kathakali came with
the founding of the iconic Kerala Kalamandalam in 1930, the brainchild of poet
laureate, Vallathol Narayana Menon and Manakkulam Mukunda Raja. With this, the
doors were opened up to all those who wanted to learn the art, irrespective of
class or creed. Other noted schools established were the Kottakal PSV Natya
Sangham, Unnayi Warrier Smaaraka Kalanilayam, Sadanam and Margi. Immediately
prior to and after independence, several changes were effected in training,
syllabus and costumes. Among the titans whose dedication ensured the growth and
survival of the art were Netumpura Valiya Itteeri Panikkar, Pattikkamthoti
Ravunni Menon, Kuyilthoti Ittiraricha Menon, the Panikkar trio of Chandu, Ambu
and Chinta Panikkar, the Kannan trio, Parassini Kunhiraman Nair, Kuthannur
Shanku Panikkar, Vazhengata Kunchu Nair, Kalamandalam Krishnan Nair and a host
of other great asans. Their efforts were augmented by Kathakali sangeetham
stalwarts such as Nenmara Madhava Menon, Kavassseri Samikutty Bhagavathar,
Katathanattu Govindan Nambeesan, Takazhi Kuttan Pillai, Venkatakrishna
Bhagavathar (vocal) and Kalamandalam Unnikrishnan (percussion). Though there
are a handful of active women performers today, Kathakali remains a
male-dominated genre on account of the physical rigour involved. As recorded in
K.P.S. Menon’s ‘Kathakalirangam’, the first woman believed to have learnt and
performed Kathakali was Katyayani, in the 1700s. Kattasseri Sarojini Amma,
Vanchiyoor Katyayani Amma, Kalamandalam Kalyanikutty Amma, Chavara Parukutty,
Kottarakkara Bhadra and Ganga rank among the rare tribe of women artists.
Why does Kathakali hold endless fascination for
aswadhakas who watch the same performances, sometimes by the same artistes for
consecutive days and nights, enacting themes drawn from the same repertoire
that has remained unchanged for centuries? The answer lies in the fact that it
is a ‘classic art form which is always contemporary’. A sophisticated amalgam
of vocal and instrumental music, percussion, theatre, mimesis and dance, it
urges the rasika to delve deep into the realm of myth, Gods and demons and to
correlate it to the universal play of emotions and actions that shape the lives
of mortals, through themes both common and rare, from the Ramayana, Mahabharata
and Bhagavata. A complete art form, the discipline includes, but is not limited
by, the four elements prescribed in the Natyasastra – aangika, vaachika,
aahaarya and saathwika. Kathakali defied the much-debated Aryanisation that
coloured many other South Indian traditions. For instance, it depicts death,
violence, blood and gore on stage with relish, with a blithe disregard for the
Natyasastra precept of refraining from the same. Again, anti-heroes such as
Ravana, Duryodhana and Narakasura are featured as central characters, while the
roles of Rama and Krishna assume secondary importance.
For all its visual sumptuousness, Kathakali has a
core of austerity. Stage props are minimally used and economy of movement draws
depth from subtlety. However, the splendour of its costumes and make up
(aharya) is so distinctive that it merits a separate study. The original lime
and rice paste ‘chutti’ (white facial border) was replaced with white paper in
a pioneering move by Tiruvalla Ramakrishna Panikkar . While facial colouring
pigments continue to be naturally derived, coloured glass and plastic are used
nowadays in kesabharam (crown) and ornament inlay.
KKG emphasises that an in-depth appreciation of
Kathakali entails an understanding of the land, its people, their social and
cultural ethos. Yoked to a feudal society, whose laws stemmed from a rigid
caste system designed to keep the dispossessed classes in perpetual
subjugation, some Kathakali practitioners joined the discipline voluntarily,
while others had the decision made for them by rich local patrons who wielded
the power to determine their destinies. In this parochial set up, their lives
revolved around the kaliyogams (troupes/schools) which in turn were entirely
dependent on the largesse of the patrons. Epic heroes on stage, the artists
were subjected to the whims of patrons off it, often having to compromise on
their self-respect. While many patrons encouraged them with public approbation,
a gift of new vestments, veera sringala (golden bracelet)or the conferment of
titles such as Menon and Panikkar, there were some who belittled and even
insulted them, deliberately making them wait for hours under a blazing sun,
before doling out a token remuneration. The footnotes provide an overview of
local customs and a social commentary which records legends, landmark events
and their repercussions, ranging from stories of Poontanam Namboothiri and
Irattakulangara Rama Warrier to the Kuriyidath Thathri scandal.
More agony than ecstasy, the Kathakali artist’s
lot has never been a happy one. Considering the pain and rigour of the training
generating ‘the cramps of the early days, the blood in the urine as the massage
regimen progressed’, meagre earnings, almost nil recognition, absence of
capable stage directors, thinning audiences, and inadequate corporate
sponsorship, it remains a wonder that a few brave souls still choose to enter
this arena. Hence, the author’s immense pride in a priceless heritage is
underscored by a palpable concern for the well-being and future of the art and
its practitioners who await long overdue recognition at the state and national
levels.
Firmly ensconced in his
bailiwick, the author serves up a comprehensive, compelling account, wrapped in
the flavour of a lived experience. Empathy and insight light up his
descriptions of the noctilucent aura of all-night performances and the
vicissitudes of artists’ lives. Thoughtful touches include the listing of
famous, oft-staged plays and illustrations detailing mudras (hand gestures).
With an aesthetically designed layout highlighting the text and outstanding
photographs by KKG, the volume is a labour of love, passionately and
painstakingly compiled over several decades. Capturing memories and impressions
with remarkable vividness, the book is a visual treat, a collector’s item and a
must-read for students, scholars, researchers, and all aswadhakas.
Trans-pacific Partnership (TPP)
FINANCIAL SCENE
Tough challenges on the trade front
In
days to come, Indian policy makers have to take cognisance of new trade blocs
and alignments taking place.
Indian policy makers face a number
of stiff challenges as they prepare for the 10th ministerial meet of the World
Trade Organisation (WTO) to be held in Nairobi, Kenya during the middle of next
month. The ministerial meet is the highest policy making body of the WTO
covering 161 members.
First, the news on trade front is
nothing to cheer about. The September foreign trade data showed Indian exports
declining for 10 straight months in row. The slowing Chinese economy is a
significant factor impacting global demand and investment. Other countries,
both emerging as well as developed ones are reckoning with the declining
Chinese demand and not just for raw materials.
The sad fact is emerging market
countries as a group have become a drag on global trade. This is in sharp
contrast to just a few years ago when they boosted global trade. It is not
clear as to when and what measures will be necessary to reverse the trend.
A serious threat
A more ominous threat is to the
orderly conduct of world trade. Less than two months before the Nairobi
ministerial, the very relevance of the WTO and more specifically its Doha development
round is once again being called into question. India might be wrongly accused
of single-handedly blocking the trade facilitation agreement, which has been
the only tangible success of the WTO’s Doha round so far. India’s persistence
in seeking a simultaneous agreement on an extended food stocking might go well
with certain domestic constituencies but has done nothing to dispel its image
as a tough and often difficult negotiator.
Mega alignments
In days to come, Indian policy
makers have to take cognisance of new trade blocs and alignments taking place.
These may strike at the very structure of the WTO and more importantly the
multilateral trading it embodies.
The reference is to the emerging
mega trade deals involving some, but not even a majority of WTO members.
Referred to as plurilateral deals, to distinguish them from bilateral (two
countries) or multilateral these are bound to alter the structure of world
trade.
Two important trade blocs are on the
anvil — the Trans-pacific Partnership (TPP), which excludes India and Regional
Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which includes India and ten members
of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) plus Australia, China,
Indonesia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand.
Very recently, the U.S. concluded
negotiations with 12 countries of the Pacific RIM to create what is called a
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Although two major economic powers of the
region — China and South Korea are not yet in, the TPP includes the U.S.,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan among the large economies and Chile,
Peru, Mexico, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia among the smaller
economies. Together they account for 40 per cent of global trade. 800 million
people live in these countries.
The TPP has not yet been voted into
law. Even at this advanced stage it faces opposition within the U.S. as
influential politicians stoke the fear of job losses at home in the wake of the
mega agreement. But with the U.S. President backing it to the hilt, the TPP might
soon become a reality.
The TPP seeks to ease the flow of
goods, services and investments among its members and to strengthen the rules
on labour standards, environmental issues, origin criteria and intellectual
property. Tariff reduction will hardly been an issue as much has been achieved
already.
For India, the TPP might signal the
erosion of the competitive edge its goods and services enjoy especially in the
traditional markets of European union and the U.S. India might also have to
meet the challenge of a new rule bound trade architecture.
India must act proactively
The Commerce Ministry has urged
Indian exporters to convert the imminent threats into opportunities. But that
is going to be easier said than done. Policymakers should adopt a more give and
take attitude in trade matters without compromising on India’s needs for food
security. The emergence of plurilateral agreements is a warning that the world
will simply pass by ignoring India’s interests. It has been reported that China
will soon seek membership of the TPP, a move India should emulate, if possible
at all.
Setting back multilateralism
At the global level, the TPP, the
biggest trade pact in recent times, has been welcomed but with a few
qualifications. The fine print of the agreement has not been released but those
in the know of things say that it could boost the GDP of its members by one per
cent by 2025, with the emerging markets among the signatories gaining more. The
biggest loser is multilateral trade and its main sponsor the WTO which has been
trying and largely failing to negotiate a deal since 2001. Regional deals are
the next best thing, but by definition they exclude some countries and so might
steer business away from efficient producers.
The 10th ministerial of the WTO is
bound to take note of the perils of plurilateral trade deals.
Donald Trump vows to probe work visa abuses
President Barack Obama has
championed the TPP deal of 12 Pacific Rim countries that notably
excludes China. Mr. Obama has argued that the TPP is essential to ensure that
America continues to write the rules of global commerce, and not China. The
pact is now awaiting Congressional ratification……
