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 in this country. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has competition law powers which apply across the whole economy. Sectoral regulators such as the Office of Rail and Road (XXX) may exercise the competition law powers to enforce the prohibitions on anti-competitive agreements and on abuse of a dominant position, and to make market investigation references, concurrently with the CMA in those sectors for which they have responsibility. 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 will enable closer working with the objective of more consistent and effective use of 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 between the CMA and the regulators, setting out more practical detail on how the CMA and the XXX will work together within the framework of competition law.2 The main purpose of this MoU is to establish an understanding between the CMA and the XXX as to how this closer working will work in practice. It draws on the legislation which sets out the formal framework for how concurrency will operate and also, importantly, sets out our bilateral commitment to look for opportunities to work together, including within the framework of the UKCN, to promote competition for the 1 UKCN (2013), Statement of Intent. 2 This MoU does not relate to ‘regulatory appeals’ – that is, the separate role that the CMA has in considering references relating to proposed direct regulatory action by the XXX under the sectoral statutes. This is a separ...

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”)...

ForewordThe general Model Grant Agreement was adopted by the European Commission on 10 April 2007 to be used in research projects funded under the 7th Framework Programmes (EC and Euratom Treaties). This model grant agreement is applicable to indirect actions under the 'Cooperation', 'Capacities' and 'Nuclear Research' (fission) Specific Programmes of FP7 (EC and Euratom Treaties). It consists of a core text and several annexes. There is also a list of special clauses to be introduced in the grant agreement where necessary. Separate model grant agreements have been adopted for the 'People' (Xxxxx Xxxxx) and for the 'Ideas' (European Research Council) Specific Programmes. The purpose of this guide is to help participants to understand and interpret the financial provisions of the Model Grant Agreement (GA) that they are signing To this end, the enclosed text tries to avoid (to the best possible extent) the use of legal references, technical vocabulary and legal jargon, and seeks to provide the reader with practical advice. The structure of this guide mirrors the financial provisions of the GA, by following the same index and structure of that document. Accordingly, it should be used as a tool to clarify the provisions of the GA, and should be read in connection with it. Each article in the GA with financial implications is explained in this Guide, and examples included where appropriate. The intention is not only to explain, but also, by following the same structure, to help the reader to locate where he/she may find the answer to his/her question. Whenever new rules are drafted and a new structure is put into place, new problems arise. In many aspects, the Rules of Participation and the GA of the 7th Framework Programmes build on previous Research Framework Programmes. However, it seems clear that both the use of this Guide and the implementation of the new Framework Programmes will expose and highlight new situations or difficulties which will require particular mention and further explanation. For this reason, this Guide has been conceived as an evolving document which, it is intended, will be updated regularly (in principle every 6 months) to reflect new questions and feedback from its users (both from outside and inside the Commission) and the knowledge gained through practice. On this point however it is important to remember that the only scope of the Guide is to provide interpretation on the legal texts (and in particular the GA), and that it cannot derogat...
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. These italicized Notes should be deleted from the final version prior to signing of the Agreement.
