Achievement of Objectives. The Participants commit to working together to:
(a) achieve the VfM Statement;
(b) meet or exceed MCOS Performance in respect of each KRA; and
(c) meet the Alliance Objectives, both in carrying out the Project and performing the Works.
Achievement of Objectives. The classification meets the objectives for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). It is comprised of industries that group establishments with similar production processes, that is, it applies the production-oriented economic concept. In the main, the hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the production concept. The classification achieves comparability for the three participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry (4- digit) level of the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions of the industries. Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this area of the classification as in others. These objectives are the delineation of new and emerging industries, service industries, and industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The industrial sector in question is relatively mature, generally produces goods, and employs relatively stable technology. Therefore, the emphasis is on the objectives listed above. The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are economically significant. The detail and structure of the classification are balanced in size. This enhances the classification’s suitability for sampling, data-publishing and other aspects of survey operations. Finally, disruptions to time series, while they exist, have been minimized. The statistical agencies can develop statistical “links”, to enable the re-tabulation of time series on the new NAICS classification structure.
Achievement of Objectives. At the industry level, the classification meets the objectives for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). It includes industries that group establishments with similar production processes, that is, it applies the production-oriented economic concept. Since this is the miscellaneous subsector, the hierarchical structure is not truly a production concept. Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this area of the classification as in others. These objectives are the delineation of new and emerging industries, service industries and industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The industrial sector in question is relatively mature, generally produces goods and has employed relatively stable technology. Therefore, the emphasis is on the objectives listed above. The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are economically significant. The detail (4-digit) level and structure of the classification are balanced in size.

All countries agree on the detailed definitions of the industries.
Achievement of Objectives. Generally speaking, the new partnership created by the “Paix des braves” is tangible and positive where forest management is concerned. Over and above discussions between Cree and Québec authorities marking the negotiations, after the Agreement was signed, entities that had not interacted much in the past had to start working together. For example, representatives designated by the Cree and by Québec learned to share different views and outlooks by sitting on the Cree-Québec Forestry Board and on Joint Working Groups. In the six years since the Agreement was signed, the CQFB has had more than 30 meetings in which we observe that unanimity was reached on almost all Board decisions and advices. The members of the five JWGs are in constant contact and are making progress in understanding and fulfilling their mandate. With regard to this ongoing contact, the detailed analysis shows that Cree and Québec representatives still face numerous challenges and must continue to learn to collaborate despite their different organizational cultures and procedures. They must continue to develop a common language and common interpretation of the adapted forestry regime’s modalities despite the linguistic barrier and must step up their efforts to train stakeholders in technical forestry aspects and on Cree cultural components. To ensure that the adapted forestry regime would be implemented and integrated progressively, the signatories agreed on transitional measures. In this regard, we should highlight the parties’ remarkable efforts to incorporate the adapted forestry regime’s provisions as quickly into annual management activity planning as possible. The parties have also shown their willingness to work together to develop forest resources in planned or ad hoc committees, depending on the issue at stake, since the Agreement’s signing, e.g. the Coordina- tion Table on Access to the Territory, Provisional Cree-Québec working team and parties task force on natural disasters, all of which were designed to make headway in implementing the adapted forestry regime. Finally, regarding the preparation of the 2008-2013 GFMPs, the parties developed participation tools, in close collaboration with JWG members, and went to considerable lengths to achieve the Agreement’s objectives. The 15 GFMPs on the Territory governed by the Agreement were approved late in the process, with a commitment to recalculate the allowable cut using tools integrating the specific spatial features of the Paix...
Achievement of Objectives. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine whether the Participant is entitled to a payout pursuant to this addendum and the size of any such payout (subject to any limitations contained in paragraph 4 below), based on the Company’s achievement of strategic objectives related to the successful launch of Verizon Business, key legislative initiatives, FiOS and broad band initiatives, and wireless growth objectives during the Award Cycle; provided that no payment shall be made pursuant to this addendum unless the Committee determines that, at the end of the three-year Award Cycle specified in paragraph 5 of the Agreement, Verizon’s average annual total shareholder return during the Award Cycle met the specific threshold performance requirement specified in said paragraph 5.
Achievement of Objectives. The classification meets the objectives for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). It is comprised of industries that group establishments with similar production processes, that is, it applies the production-oriented economic concept. In the main, the hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the production concept. The classification achieves comparability for the three participating countries. Based on existing data, all three countries expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry (4- digit) level of the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions of the industries. The classification improves comparability with other countries. Most industries are compatible with the two-digit level of the current International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations. This means that each comparable NAICS industry is the same as, or part of, a single ISIC two-digit Division. Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this area of the classification as in others. These objectives are the delineation of new and emerging industries, service industries and industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The industrial sector in question is relatively mature, generally produces goods, and employs relatively stable technology. Therefore, the emphasis was on the objectives listed above. The industries have high specialization ratios, and with the exception of tortillas in Canada, they are economically significant. The detail (4-digit) and structure of the classification are balanced in size. This enhances the classification’s suitability for sampling and other aspects of survey operations. Finally, disruptions to time series, while they exist, have been minimized. Most of the changes to existing classifications are marginal. The major changes are well-identified and can be taken into account in linking time series.
Achievement of Objectives. In delivering the Project, the Participants commit to working together to:
5.2.1 achieve the VFM Statement; and
5.2.2 meet the Alliance Objectives.
Achievement of Objectives. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine whether the Participant is entitled to a payout pursuant to this addendum and the size of any such payout (subject to the limitations contained in paragraph 4 below), based on the Company’s achievement during the Award Cycle of certain strategic objectives related to: (i) Verizon’s succession plan; (ii) maintaining and growing the Company’s market leadership positions with respect to corporate reputation, brand recognition, and broadband and wireless growth; and (iii) the successful passage and implementation of key policy initiatives. No payment shall be made pursuant to this addendum unless the Committee determines that, at the end of the three-year Award Cycle specified in paragraph 5 of the Agreement, Verizon’s average annual total shareholder return during the Award Cycle met the specific threshold performance requirement specified in said paragraph 5.

For Textile Xxxxx and Textile Product Xxxxx, disruptions to time series have been kept to a minimum. In Apparel Manufacturing, however, the establishment of a separate industry for cut and sew contractors results in a change for the U.S. to nearly all of the existing apparel industries.

Achievement of Objectives. The classification meets the objectives for the North American Industry Clas sification System. It is comprised of industries that group establishments with similar production processes, that is, it applies the production-orien xxx economic concept. The hierarchical structure also follows the production concept. The classification achiev es comparability for the three participating countries. All countries agree on the definitions of the industries. The classification improves comparability with other countries. Based on existing data, each country expects to be able to publish data regularly, or in the near future, at the 4-digit NAICS level of this structure. Other objectives of the NAICS project have also been met. The classification meets th e objectives of an industry classification. In an effort to identify high technology and ne w emerging industries, new industries in the Sound Re cording industry group and the Broadcasting and Telecommunications subsector have been identified. The classifications are homogeneous and account for most of the activities that define them. In addition, they are economicall y significant.
