I Introduction. A. On March 7, 2006, the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”), notified the State of Delaware (“the State”) of DOJ’s intent to investigate the adequacy of medical and mental health care services in five facilities operated by the State’s Department of Correction pursuant to the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (“CRIPA”), 42 U.S.C. § 1997 to determine whether those services violated inmates’ constitutional rights. The facilities investigated were: 1. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx Women’s Correctional Institution (“Baylor”); 2. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx Correctional Institution, (“Xxxxxx Xxxxx”); 3. Xxxx X. Xxxx Correctional Facility (“Xxxx”); 4. Delaware Correctional Center (“DCC”); and 5. Sussex Correctional Institution (“Sussex”). B. DOJ staff toured the five facilities on June 22, 2006, July 17-19, 2006 and August 14-16, 2006. In addition, DOJ staff, accompanied by consultants in medical care, mental health care and suicide prevention, toured Xxxxxx Xxxxx on October 4-6, 2006, Baylor and Xxxx on October 23-25, 2006 and Baylor again on November 15-17, 2006. C. On December 29, 2006, the DOJ issued a findings letter pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1997b(a)(1) which alleged that certain conditions at Baylor, DCC, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, and Sussex violated the constitutional rights of Delaware inmates. It is the position of the DOJ that deficiencies in medical care, mental health care and suicide prevention at these four facilities [collectively referred to herein as “the Facilities”; see Definitions, paragraph A] were inconsistent with constitutional standards of care. The DOJ made no findings with respect to Xxxx. D. Before the investigation began, the State had initiated its own efforts to improve conditions at the Facilities. During the investigation, the State also commissioned an extensive internal review of the Facilities with the assistance of medical, mental health, and legal consultants, the detailed results of which they subsequently shared with DOJ and DOJ's consultants. Throughout the course of the investigation, the State of Delaware and the staff at each Facility cooperated thoroughly and indicated a willingness to proactively and voluntarily undertake measures to improve conditions throughout the system. Consequently, the Parties enter into this Memorandum of Agreement (“Agreement”) for the purpose of utilizing their resources in support of improving medical and mental health care at the Facilities, rather than allocating such resources to the risks and burdens ...

I IntroductionIn connection with the 1988 wage settlement, the contractually agreed early retirement (AFP) scheme was established. The purpose was to give employees in companies with collective agreements the option of, according to specific regulations, retiring early before reaching retirement age according to the National Insurance Act. The parliamentary decision new retirement pension in the National Insurance Scheme from 2010 (postponed until 2011) assumed that other parts of the pension scheme were adapted to the new reform. On this basis the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Norwegian Business and Industry agreed in the 2008 wage settlement that the then AFP scheme was to be superseded by a new AFP scheme adapted to the regulations of the new retirement pension in the National Insurance Scheme. The parties have assumed the Government's stance that AFP is continued in the form of a neutral life-long addition to retirement pension in the National Insurance Scheme. Optional withdrawal time is basically from age 62, and the monthly pension payments are reduced when taken out early and increased when taken out later. The new AFP scheme can be combined with earned income without truncating the AFP pension. With such a scheme the AFP, together with the new retirement pension in the National Insurance Scheme, contribute to reaching the central goals of the new pension reform. The Government provides ongoing grants in connection with the AFP scheme to workers/retirees corresponding to half the contribution from employers, excluding expenses for the compensation fee which is fully funded by the Government. This agreement does not regulate all conditions, rights and duties associated with AFP in detail. This is determined through the scheme's regulations, which are decided by the Board of the Contractual agreement for early retirement pension (AFP) and which is approved by the Ministry of Labour in accordance with the AFP Subsidies Act of 2010. Detailed regulations for both the original AFP and the new AFP are determined in these regulations. Eligible companies must at all times stay updated with regard to the duties incumbent on the company. The regulations also contain certain specific rules which may entail that individual employees are not entitled to AFP. The current regulations are available at xxx.xxxxx.xx The original AFP is provided to workers who have applied for such pension before 31 December 2010 and who satisfy the requirements a...

I Introduction. Since the end of the Second World War, the international community has repeatedly tried and failed to establish a multilateral agreement governing the protection of international investment. To a large extent, this has been due to a lack of consensus between developed and developing countries over what rights should be afforded to foreign investors. Instead, countries have tended to conclude investment agreements bilaterally. As of 2018, there are now more than 2,300 bilateral investment treaties (BITs) in force throughout the world.1 Following this international trend, New Zealand began signing bilateral investment agreements throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Nevertheless, the pursuit of multilateral agreement has continued. The signing of the Trans- Pacific Partnership (TPP) in 2016 was a major step forward in multilateralism.2 The mega- regional trade agreement was signed by twelve countries, varying greatly in economic size, region, population and development. New Zealand was one of the founding members of the agreement which started as the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement with Singapore, Brunei and Chile.3 Among many areas, the TPP included a comprehensive chapter on investments. This chapter proved to be among the most controversial parts of the agreement, due to the provisions for investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). These provisions are now standard in international investment agreements (IIAs). Where it is alleged a member state has breached an investment protection, the provisions allow the investor to submit the dispute to an international tribunal for arbitration. ISDS clauses are designed to increase certainty and provide an attractive climate to encourage investment. They have, however, been criticized for being non-transparent and affecting the state’s ability to regulate in the public interest. 1 UNCTAD Investment Policy Hub <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/XXX>.
