Manufacture of non-electric domestic appliances

Innovation facilitated by research and development includes: ultra-light high-strength steels for the auto industry that improve fuel efficiency while continuing to ensure passenger safety; new high-strength steels for construction, allowing buildings to be erected with 35% less steel than 30 years ago; high-performance steels for bridge construction, resulting in 20% savings in material and easier fabrication; steel-framed houses; and appliance manufacturers note that the increased longevity of appliances is attributable to higher-quality steel.

TPMs are implemented by some copyright holders because they can violate end users' privacy rights; prevent consumers from enjoying content on devices and software of their independent choice; circumvent or compromise the security of computers, including rendering them vulnerable to attack and we remember the well publicized fiasco of the Sony BMG rootkit; that TPMs can be applied to both content and devices; that the copyright holder and the owner of the device have rights that must be respected; that copyright holder's own rights on the protected work and private citizens usually own the devices that access these works; that TPMs ...[+++]can be abused to harm the interests of the copyright holder and/or the device owner; that numerous Canadian organizations have opposed the legal protection of TPMs supplied to copyright holders or manufacturers of devices, including, but not limited to, the Canada's Privacy Community, the Digital Security Coalition, the Canadian Music Creators Coalition, Appropriation Art Coalition, Canadian Federation of Students, Canadian Library Association, Canadian Art Museum Directors' Organization and several thousands of Canadian citizens already signed these on such a position; that we are looking for Canadian legislation, such as the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act which prohibits the condition of the supply of a product or service on a person waiving their rights; and that the section 77 of the Competition Act regulates against the exclusive dealing in tied selling.

Manufacturers of electronics and industrial machinery throughout Canada should get ready to exploit new and exceptional export opportunities in key industrial markets where tariffs on electronics, most electrical appliances and industrial machinery will sometimes be cut by 65 per cent. Lower tariffs will also bring down the price of imported machinery, which is good news to Canadian investors thinking of equipping or modernizing their plants (1025 ) [English] The fisheries industry in Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and British Columbia can diversify exports of basic fish items and higher value added fish products to Europe, Japan and Korea w ...[+++]here tariffs will be cut between 8 per cent and 30 per cent and non-tariff barriers reduced.

The next auction could include mandatory open-access requirements that would allow carriers, device manufacturers and service providers to use Canada as a sandbox for mobile innovation, freeing that spectrum so that new companies — device manufacturers and others — would have the freedom to interconnect and engage in innovation here in Canada.

* COM(88)576 - 2 - Several lines of action are proposed with a view to achieving these twin objectives: (a) Consumer information should be improved as a result of joint efforts by the electricity distributors, consumer organizations, appliances and equipment manufacturers, the Governements of the Member States, and the Commission itself (b) Technical advice on the purchase, installation and use of the most efficient appliances and equipment should be made available to consumers (c) Appliance and equipment efficiencies should be improved and the market share of the most efficient models already commercially available should be improved (d ...[+++]) Demonstration of new, electrically efficient appliances, equipment and technologies should be supported in the context of national and Community programmes and the results disseminated throughout the Community.
