Cross Border

The paper understands that cross-border natural resources include a totality of characteristics of local ecological systems in mountain areas, which can act as regulators of human’s life space. The authors state that the uniqueness of this phenomenon is defined by the fact that all natural resources act as a single system of planet scale. The system of providing biodiversity is one of such parameters. In the paper the legal characteristics of the issue are identified with respects to the actual state of interstate cooperation. Additionally, the opportunity of its expansion within the already existing interstate formation is determined.

The Impact

The study considers the essence and effects of economic integration on the Euro zone banking sector. The study explains that the intensification of economic integration of European countries provides a competitive environment for banks. The results found that the integration at the macro level increases the international competitiveness of the banking sector by creating a more transparent single secure market and increasing its capacity through the application of common rules and administrative standards for banking supervision and resolution, and on the meso- and micro levels increases the international competitiveness of banking institutions by increasing efficiency and profitability by increasing the volume of cross-border banking activities within the Euro zone. The conclusions suggest the main instruments of ECB’s monetary policy have a positive impact on improving the competitiveness of the banking sector by removing barriers to cross-border competition. Such instruments helped to create a large and transparent capital market, increase banking sector competitiveness by intensifying competition and efficiency of banks.

The Impact

This study contributes to the literature seeking to test the pollution haven’s hypothesis (PHH), by focusing on the influence of environmental policy on the location’s decision of cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As). To this end, we estimate a gravity model using an original bilateral database for the extensive margin of M&A among 34 developed and emerging countries during the period 1995-2015. Reached evidence confirms only part of the pessimist predictions. A more stringent environmental regulation would not boost outward M&As to the extent that it originates from countries with relatively good institutional quality. In contrast, in countries with relatively high level of corruption, the laxer the environmental regulation, the higher the number of inward M&As. However, reducing corruption can compensate the competitiveness losses associated with the compliance of a stricter environmental regulation

High Degree

Since the Customs Union came into effect on 1 January 1996, Turkey has effectively become part of the European Union's single market. This high degree of economic integration has not been matched in the sphere of political and social integration. Turkey was omitted from a list of countries with which accession negotiations began in March 1998, and the Cardiff European Council of May 1998 confirmed Turkey's marginalization from the current process of enlargement.

Index Cases

Three physically separate incursions of the raccoon strain of rabies have entered Canada, two into eastern Ontario in 1999 and one into New Brunswick in 2000. The course of these epizootics is described. Phylogenetic analysis of the index cases from these two provinces with raccoon rabies viruses representative of this strain in the United States supported the independence of these incursions into Canada via cross-border transmission from the United States. Genetic characterization of 190 isolates from these two Canadian provinces over a 550-bp region of the variable central portion of the viral P gene distinguished 14 variants in Ontario and five in New Brunswick although in both regions the variant represented by the initial case was most commonly encountered. The quasi-species nature of the Ontario virus was analysed using isolates taken at different times during the main outbreak to examine whether viral variation was increasing with time as well as changing in nature. These data provide a framework for study of future incursions of this rabies strain into Canada.
