Foreword. The changes to the United Kingdom’s (UK) competition law system, introduced under the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 and in force since April 2014, are designed to improve the effectiveness of competition law enforcement. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has competition law powers which apply across the whole economy. Sectoral regulators such as the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) may exercise the competition law powers to enforce competition law concurrently with the CMA in those sectors for which they have responsibility, namely the prohibitions on anti-competitive agreements and on abuse of a dominant position, and the ability to make market investigation references. The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 introduced a number of changes to improve the working of concurrency and to enable closer working between the CMA and sectoral regulators. The CMA and the sectoral regulators have demonstrated their commitment to making the concurrency framework more effective through the establishment of the UK Competition Network (UKCN). This represents an enhanced forum for cooperation which enables closer working, with the objective of more consistent and effective use of concurrent competition powers across all sectors. In their statement of intent in December 2013, the members of the UKCN affirmed: ‘The mission of the UKCN will be to promote competition for the benefit of consumers and to prevent anti-competitive behaviour both through facilitating use of competition powers and development of pro-competitive regulatory frameworks, as appropriate.’1 This memorandum of understanding (MoU) represents a further stage in the process of cooperation, setting out more detail on how the CMA and the CAA will, in practice, work together within the framework of competition law.2 It draws on the formal framework in the legislation and sets out our bilateral commitment to look for opportunities to work together, including within the framework of the UKCN, to promote competition for the benefit of consumers. We shall do this by the sharing of expertise, information, ideas and experience. Each of us will commit to doing this efficiently and with a mutual regard for each other’s statutory duties and strategic objectives.

Foreword. This Delivery of Outputs Standard Form of Agreement (“Delivery of Outputs”) is the result of cooperation between the World Bank (“the Bank”)2 and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (“FAO” or “UN Partner”). It should be used when FAO is engaged by the Government in implementing “technical cooperation programmes or projects” that may include multiple components and a range of inputs (goods, works, consulting and non-consulting services, and training) that are required for delivery of outputs. In the case of FAO’s previous involvement in upstream activities, including project design and/or appraisal under the World Bank–FAO Cooperative Programme (1964), the Government contracting of FAO for downstream activities may create a conflict of interest situation. The Bank’s prior review is required, prior to proceeding with the use of this Agreement. The approval of this standard template was done by respective signatures of the World Bank Vice President for Operations Policy and Country Services and FAO Deputy Director-General (Programmes) on May 10, 2017. The provisions in the General Conditions section of this Agreement related to financial management, audit, and fraud and corruption prevention derive from the Financial Management Framework Agreement (FMFA) and the Fiduciary Principles Accord concluded between UN Agencies (including the FAO) and the World Bank. The completion date of the Agreement cannot exceed the Project closing date. The text shown in italics is “Notes to Users”, which provide guidance to the implementing entity of the Borrower and to the FAO task team in preparing a specific Agreement.

Foreword. The general purpose of this Public Works Joint Powers Mutual Aid Agreement (“Agreement”) is to provide a process for units of government to share public works personnel and equipment with other agencies within the State of Minnesota. This Agreement specifically allows a requesting party to select the resources that best meets the needs of a given situation. A requesting party may call upon any other participating party for mutual aid. There is no requirement to make requests through a particular party. In addition, this Agreement should not be interpreted as being limited to providing resources to deal with only major catastrophic situations. Participating parties can utilize the resources for many reasons including routine circumstances such as training efforts, maintenance operations, joint-projects, and back-up support service. This Agreement provides the flexibility for all units of government to use the resources located among all participating parties in the State of Minnesota. The decision as to when to invoke mutual aid and whether to respond is left to the discretion of the requesting or sending party. Each unit of government should acquaint supervisory personnel with any internal procedures used for mutual aid. While the Joint Powers Agreement does not require particular words or actions to initiate mutual aid, agencies should be clear about whether mutual aid is being requested and what type of assistance is requested. The responding agency should also be clear about what, if any, assistance they will provide in response to the request. Parties should not self-deploy. Furthermore, each staff member within a department should have a basic familiarity with mutual aid, the responsibilities when reporting to another unit of government and the protections afforded under the unit of government’s workers’ compensation. For liability reasons, management of a mutual aid situation is under the control of the requesting party. However, the sending party has discretion whether to provide personnel or equipment and can recall such assistance at any time. While there is no hard and fast time limit related to requests for mutual aid, the commitment of resources can be taxing on agencies. In addition, in some situations an advantage can be gained by ending a mutual aid request and entering into a different form of contractual assistance. In order to keep this mutual aid agreement closer to local level of government, Hennepin County Emergency Management (“HCEM”)...
