9. In the case of foods referred to in point (b) of paragraph 2, in point (a) of paragraph 5 and in paragraph 6, the reports and the impact assessments under this Article shall consider, inter alia, the options for the modalities of expressing the country of origin or place of provenance of those foods, in particular with respect to each of the following determining points in the life of the animal:

One of the vice-chairs is the member for Winnipeg Centre, who was also the co-chair of the subcommittee of this committee when it wrote the original report on whistleblowing.

4. The home Member State may exempt issuers only in respect of those debt securities which have already been admitted to trading on a regulated market in the Community prior to 1 January 2005 from disclosing half-yearly financial report in accordance with Article 5 for 10 years following 1 January 2005, provided that the home Member State had decided to allow such issuers to benefit from the provisions of Article 27 of Directive 2001/34/EC at the point of admission of those debt securities.

The Directive also includes rules for payment systems which are not based on netting but on gross settlement systems (where each payment order is settled individually on a real time basis as it arises during the day): The proposed Directive would also exempt payment systems from national rules giving retroactive effect to the insolvency of a participant in a payment system, such as the zero-hour rule. Such retroactive effect allows the liquidator of an insolvent institution to challenge payment orders which have already been introduced into the payment system, thus leading to the unwinding of the settlement operation. This unwinding is h ...[+++]ighly disruptive and can lead to systemic risk. The same is true for revocation of payment orders. Revocation of a large payment order in a payment system during the settlement process, could lead to systemic risk. The Directive would therefore bar revocation of payment orders after the moment contractually fixed by the payment system participants. The insolvency of a participant in a payment system, insofar as it concerned its dealings with the payment system, would be governed by the insolvency law of the country where the payment system was located, according to the proposed Directive. This would avoid conflicts of law and the ensuing legal uncertainty and thus facilitate cross-border participation in payment systems. Collateral security is pledged by the participants in a payment system in order to secure its exposures against the other participants. When collateral security is provided in a cross-border arrangement, its realisation in case of default of the pledging participant can be hindered by conflicts of law which may either weaken the collateral security or even render it unenforceable. In order to ensure collateral security can be realised immediately and in priority over all other creditors (so as not to jeopardise the liquidity of the other participants in the system, i.e. to avoid systemic risk) in the case of a defaul ...

This action reflects the recognition that the Order of Reference to which this report responds has two dimensions: it directs attention to immediate measures that can enhance the effectiveness of committees, and it requires that attention be paid to whether the committee system is broadly serving the priorities implied by the role of the Senate in Canada's political system.

As the commission pointed out in its annual report, complaints about the RCMP normally arise from the stresses of policing.
