Emerging Issues. If both parties agree, UDEQ and EPA will reopen the PPA and amend it to address emerging issues not originally discussed during the PPA negotiations. This “reopener clause” is intended to address new issues that emerge during the PPA period. In addition, during the course of this agreement, UDEQ and EPA will examine how a “reopener clause” will operate for a future, multi-year document.

Emerging Issues. The Official Agency shall, subject to available resources, develop and provide analytical capability for emerging food safety / fraud parameters, as identified by the Authority / EU Commission or the FSLS.
Emerging Issues. The WQPP will continually review and evaluate potential impacts to MBNMS water quality and will work with its partners in the WQPP Committee to identify and address these emerging issues.
Emerging Issues. The negotiating committees of the Board and the Prairie Valley Teachers’ Association shall meet at least twice per year, in the fall prior to October 31st and in the spring prior to April 30th, and also upon the request of either party to discuss any emerging issues. Both parties commit to timely follow up and communication regarding issues discussed. The parties agree these meetings shall not occur once active bargaining has commenced.
Emerging Issues. The Department and Corporation will monitor and discuss emerging issues that are not currently addressed by the Guidelines or this MoU that may be of public health interest or significance.

Emerging Issues. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is created in the laboratory from specific genetic material with the help of biotechnology and with the help of modern engineering, functional systems are constructed at a molecular scale. Such products has given rise to debate whether they are safe for human, animal or plant health. Now, the question arises whether trade involving such products could be regulated by provisions of the SPS Agreement. Genetically modified organisms are defined as organisms in which genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating or by natural recombination. This technology is called ‘gene technology’ or sometimes referred as ‘recombinant DNA technology’ and allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another. There is a vehement debate over the use of GMO products and the reason of opposition are following (a) there are concerns about the possible adverse effects on human health from a wide variety of genetically developed food stuffs; and (b) there are concerns that transgenic plants could generate negative effects on the environment directly or through inter action between existing and new genes.91 Whether the SPS Agreement could regulate trade involving genetically modified organisms is a major issue of concern.92 The element of human intervention might constitute an additive, contaminant or toxin within the meaning of the definition in Annex A of the SPS Agreement. Applying this in the genetic engineering area, human manipulation of the genetic structure of plants or animals is likely to be regarded as being capable in some cases of constituting an additive, contaminant or toxin. Accordingly, measures in relation to genetically modified organisms may fall within the definition of sanitary and phytosanitary measure in Annex A.93 While interpreting the meaning of ‘pests’ in Annex A Item 1, the Panel in EC-Approval and Marketing of Biotech Products dispute held that pests include any animal or plant that is destructive or that is troublesome. Thus, genetically modified plants that grow where they are undesired are pests within the scope of Annex A Item 1. Therefore, measures taken to avoid invasion of genetically modified plants are sanitary and phytosanitary measures.94 The Panel also held that the unintended expression of modified genes in agricultural crops are additives if they infect or pollute the food chain, poisonous substances produced during metabolism or growth ...
Emerging Issues. GIS data gaps • Comprehensive Road System Information At this time a series of 1:6000 and 1:12000 maps have been issued out to all the fire chiefs in the county for an intense review of Fremont County’s road network. These maps are being updated to show new roads, old roads that are gated or otherwise blocked, roads that are nonexistent and to verify that road names are accurate. Other information as deemed pertinent will also be added. These will be returned to the GIS Authority and added to the GIS system for the county. • Fire History Information
