Not unexpectedly, the Ministerial Conference in Cancun, the World Trade Organization meeting reached the conclusion proof, without any convention. The main stumbling blocks were massive subsidies to agriculture (estimated at approximately $ 300 billion a year by rich countries) and so-called “Singapore issues”.

The proceedings of the meeting was a great demonstration of power between developed countries - the USA and the European Union in particular - and developing countries, the bloc of G-22, cited by India, China and Brazil. In principle, it ended in a deadlock.

What are the main effects and consequences of the collapse of the Cancun negotiations? Firstly, by the huge subsidies that rich countries to their farmers, which would remain intact. So, farmers in many poor countries (especially in Africa) would continue to suffer unfair competition from their richer counterparts in the form of production subsidies, export subsidies and import tariffs . Developing countries were convinced to participate in negotiations on the Doha promise that their main development concerns would be accepted.

Indeed, they say that the reduction of agricultural subsidies by developed countries under the agreement of Uruguay has not been implemented and questions should focus on a priority before the news is included in the price.

The most troublesome aspects of developed countries, agricultural subsidies in Cancun was trying to change the definition of what constitutes a “trade distorting” subsidies. They were loans, export subsidies for trade. is clear policy to support home, in the form of grants entry and exit also rising costs of domestic producers an unfair advantage over their market in producing countries cheaper from other countries and must also be seen as distorting trade.

In addition, the European Union and the USA tries to block among the ranks of developing countries to give the impression that they were ready for the phasing out of export subsidies for products of particular interest to developing countries. He hoped that the existence of an influx of some developing countries, for their main products in the list of convicts and the G-22 solidarity. They even tried to attract China by suggesting that the subsidy and tariff reduction commitment would be less China, as it lies at the WTO later. So far, no developing country in the trap. But there are already sufficient indications and explicit threats of USA and the European Union’s negotiating driving licence they operate, bilateral and regional deals with a number of countries and try to a weakening of the coalition of developing countries.

At present, protection is enjoyed by Indian farmers to import duties (now that the import quotas are not more) remains intact. It would be a victory for the government before the elections. The NDA government itself of the project can also contribute to a better protection of interests that the Indian government Uruguay discussions in Congress.

The other obstacle was the Singapore issues - of multilateral rules for foreign investment, competition policy, transparency in government procurement and trade facilitation (simplification of customs procedures, and so forth). Among the latter, the most controversial of developing countries was the attempt to implement (EU-led) a multilateral agreement on investment (MAI).

Countries such as India argue that this is not a single rate of tax rules for foreign investment for all countries. Historically, countries at different development stages (including the USA, Japan, France, South Korea and so on) many species have imposed restrictions on foreign investment would promote economic development. In the future, they should also have the freedom to decide what type of foreign investments are allowed or discouraged. At best, it may insist on the fact that once a foreign investor is allowed for loading in a country, there should be no discrimination against foreign prisoners vis-a-vis a national company. But it has already been guaranteed by several provisions of the MIC (investment measures), under the agreements of the Uruguay. For example, the requirements discriminatory has no local content or export obligations can be held abroad, even longer.

Regarding the other Singapore issues, the objections were not as strong. Indeed, India can win if greater transparency is ensured in public procurement in all countries.

A number of uniform and transparent rules for fair competition should not be a bad idea either. The problem is that even the USA, unfair competition, it is easier to prove, against foreign producers. Even the practices followed by domestic producers are tolerated. It is precisely for these reasons that competition policy problem has been on the agenda of the Cancun conference, at the insistence of the USA. Among developing countries’ perspective of free movement so that foreign investment without a competition policy in the village would have been the worst scenario. Fortunately, the time has been avoided.

The society of Plastics Engineers honored 15 SPE Senior Members during the 2001 ANTEC by designating them Fellows of the Society. Last month, we profiled eight of the honorees; here are the remaining seven.

Dr. Shau-Tarng Lee, director, Research & Development, Sealed Air Corporation, Saddle Brook, New Jersey, received this honor for his effort to make foam more environmentally sound. Dr. Lee developed carbon dioxide as the sole blowing agent for thick and special application PE foam products. He developed a carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon foaming agent mixture to improve the safety status of hydrocarbon foam extrusion operations, and to reduce hydrocarbon emissions. His development of HCFC-22 to replace CFC-12 for PE foam extrusion and thus reduce ozone depletion allowed Sealed Air to remain a producer of environmentally friendly foams. He introduced volatile ethane as the blowing agent to replace butane and propane for low-density PE foam sheets. Dr. Lee observed shear effects on nucleation for foam-enhanced devolatilization in batch experiments. From this, foam die design technology was greatly improved by the balanced consideration of rheology and foaming. A member of the Society since 1983, Dr. Lee is affilia ted with the Palisades Section and the Thermoplastic Materials & Foams Division of SPE. Costas Gogos and Elliott L. Weinberg sponsored him. He holds seven patents and has several pending, edited Foam Extrusion: Principles and Practices, has contributed nearly 70 technical articles on foam, and has presented seminars both in the U.S. and in Taipei. He received a bachelor of engineering degree in industrial chemistry from National Tsing-Hua University, Taiwan, and a master’s degree in engineering and PhD from Stevens Institute of Technology.

Peter G. Pape, retired associate industry scientist, Dow Coming Corporation, Midland, Michigan, was recognized for using the chemistry of silane coupling agents and the unique properties of silicone polymers to make improvements in plastics materials. Since fiberglass-reinforced plastics are neither very strong nor durable without coupling agents, it has been Mr. Pape’s work to optimize silane technology for each specific application to give improved physical properties, increased environmental resistance, high temperature resistance, and improved electrical properties. In applications to glass-reinforced epoxy printed circuit boards, which affect calculators, cell phones, and computers, his work solved the industry’s concern with interfacial failure in making defect-free components. He introduced new ultrahigh-molecular weight silicone additives to thermoplastics, which improve lubrication, abrasion resistance, surface appearance, and processing. He is responsible for the commercialization of the Sioplas[R] process, which uses the moisturereactivity of silanes to crosslink thermoplastics with water. This allows the use of simple and low-cost extrusion lines, and has led to more versatile formulations of wire and cable, heat-resistant pipe, film, foam and other crosslinked products. A member of the Society since 1983, Mr. Pape is affiliated with the Mid-Michigan Section and the Polymer Modifiers & Additives Division of SPE. Ernest A. Coleman and David Riley were his sponsors. He has presented or published 70 technical papers, book chapters, and encyclopedia articles, and lectured at short courses on adhesion and coupling agents. He holds a BS in chemistry and mathematics from Alma College, an MS in organic chemistry from The Ohio State University, with additional graduate studies at Michigan State University and Saginaw Valley State University.
