February 2009. In the framework of the Italian-French Protocol of Understanding for energy cooperation, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Enel, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Chairman and General Manager of EDF, have signed a first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that sets the basis for the joint development of nuclear energy in Italy by the two companies. When the legislative and technical process to enable a return to nuclear power in Italy is complete, Enel and EDF will undertake to develop, build and operate at least four generation units based on European Pressurized water Reactor (EPR) technology. The world’s first EPR unit is being built at Flamanville in Normandy, a project in which Enel is participating with a 12.5% share. The goal is for the first Italian unit to enter commercial service no later than 2020. With today’s MoU, Enel and EDF agree to form a joint venture (50/50) that will be responsible for the development of the feasibility studies for the construction of the EPR units. Subsequently, once the studies have been completed and the necessary investment decisions taken, individual companies will be instituted to build, own and operate each of the EPR units. Each will feature: • a majority stake for Enel in the ownership of the plants and electricity withdrawal rights; • Enel leadership in plant operation; Enel SpA – Registered Office 00198 Roma, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx 137 – Companies Register of Roma and Tax I.D. 00811720580 – R.E.A. of Roma 756032 - VAT Code 00934061003 Stock Capital Euro 6,184,367,853 (at December 31, 2007) fully paid-in • opening of ownership to third parties, with Enel and EDF retaining majority control of the entities. The Enel-EDF agreement comes into effect on 24 February 2009 and has a term of five years from the signing date, with the possibility of extension. In a second Memorandum of Understanding, Enel expressed its willingness to extend the previous agreement on nuclear energy already signed with EDF to establish five additional EPR reactors in France, beginning with the plant recently authorised in Penly by the French government. Enel CEO Xxxxxx Xxxxx commented “Enel is pleased to have an industrial partner with the experience and internationally-recognised reputation of EDF for the re-launching of nuclear power in Italy. The agreements signed today contribute to strengthening the Italian and French economies in the strategic energy sector and to developing further reciprocity in our respective market...
February 2009. This allows CARICC to begin the transition from pilot phase to full fledged functional- ity. CARICC is to serve as perma- nently operating regional infor- mation and coordination inter- state agency that shall assist in organizing, undertaking and co- ordinating agreed joint interna- tional operations to combat illicit drug trafficking. The Centre shall also ensure the collection, stor- age, protection, analysis, and exchange of information on trans -border crime associated with illicit drug trafficking. XXXXXX’s activities are carried out by the staff of the Centre supported by the liaison officers of the member states as well as liaison officers of observers (non- member states and international organisation) seconded to it. The first meeting of the CARICC Council (management board) was held in Almaty on 26 Febru- Partnership Published by UNODC Regional Office in Central Asia UNODC ary 2009. The Council approved XXXXXX’s strategic plan for the next two years and endorsed candidates for the post of CARICC Director and deputy director who are to be approved by the heads of the CARICC member states. CARICC continues to develop part- nerships with non-member states and organisations. France and Inter- pol were recently granted observer Implementation of the United Nations convention against corruption into DOMESTIC LAWS AND PRACTICE status at CARICC. Requests of Italy, Finland, and the USA are expected to be considered soon. CARICC Agreement is open for other states to join either as ob- server or as a full member. Thus, CARICC aims at close cooperation with other countries of the wider region such as Afghanistan, Paki- xxxx, Iran and China. The Centre will be closely cooperating with in- ternational organisations such as Interpol, Europol, World Customs Organisation and others. Secure communication platforms “I -24/7” of Interpol and “CENCOMM2” of WCO were made available to CARICC during the pilot phase of operations of the Centre. CARICC’s achievements to date include serving as the regional focal point for operation “TARCET” on precursors and controlled delivery exercises. XXXXXX’s efforts to xxxxxx cooperation and information shar- ing among the countries resulted, for instance, in seizure of 41 kg heroin in Azerbaijan and 28 kg of heroin in Turkmenistan in two dif- ferent operations coordinated with Turkish authorities. Altogether, the operations initiated by the liaison officers and coordinated through CARICC have resulted in the dis- mantling of more ...

February 2009. New agreement, incrementally increasing the ADT threshold within limits for intersection/ interchange skew angles and to update the text of the Agreement. • Based on worst-case modeling inputs for traffic, emissions and dispersion. • New thresholds: • 59,000 ADT for any project affecting capacity for roadways that either have no intersections or interchanges or have ones that have skew angles no less than 60 degrees; • 49,000 ADT for skew angles from 45 degrees up to 60 degrees; and • 39,000 ADT or skew angles from 30 degrees up to 45 degrees. • Subject to intersection/freeway interchange LOS E limits or reasonable proxies, such as peak hour vehicle per hour per lane (vphpl) limits of 1037 for arterial streets and 2200 for freeways or limited access roadways without intersections, which were assumptions made for the worst-case analysis. • Qualitative text updated for: 1) exempt projects and ones that qualify for a PCE, and 2) ones that meet the ADT, skew angle (as applicable), and LOS thresholds. • Specifies models to be applied as the latest ones approved by the US EPA and agreed by FHWA for project-level analyses, namely, MOBILE6.2, which was expected to be updated in the near term to a “next generation” model for emissions, and CAL3QHC and CALINE3 for dispersion, and updates or replacements thereto. • As a limitation of the EPA MOBILE model, the effect of road grades on emissions could not be modeled or included in this agreement. May 2016: • Major update expanding coverage of project types, configurations (including road grades) and settings (urban/rural), and adding terms to facilitate the screening process • Based on templates developed in NCHRP 25-25 Task 78 (2015), which are available on the following website: xxxxx://xxxx.xxx.xxx/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=3311 • VDOT proposed the NCHRP study and participated in the project panel. • As noted in the NCHRP report (Executive Summary, page X, and main report, page 14), the NCHRP 25-25 Task 78 study conducted a survey of programmatic agreements in place across the nation and selected the 2009 FHWA-VDOT PA and TSD as the model for its new national templates. This selection reflects well on the FHWA-VDOT process for developing and implementing such agreements. Excerpt from NCHRP 25-25 Task 78, p.14: “…Virginia’s [PA] is applicable to a wide range of project types and conditions and can be tailored to NEPA or state environmental requirements. Consequently, Virginia’s 2009 PA was chosen as ...
