The measure contained in that programme covered a number of operations concerning the regional waste management and disposal system (construction of composting facilities; landfills for the disposal, following differentiated collection, of residual waste; implementation of optimum territorial zones and related plans for waste management and treatment; support for affiliated municipalities for the purposes of managing the differentiated municipal waste collection system; aid for undertakings for the purpose of adapting facilities designed for the recovery of materials derived from waste; coordination, logistical and support activity ...[+++]for undertakings collecting and recovering waste from special categories of productive activity; creation of a land research institute to monitor the quality and quantity of waste). The assistance given by the region for the improvement and promotion of the waste collection and disposal systems gave rise to expenditure in the amount of €93,268,731.59, half of which – €46,634,365.80 – was co-financed by the Structural Funds.

This methodology models the incremental capital (including sunk) and operating costs borne by a hypothetically efficient operator in providing all access services and adds a mark-up for strict recovery of common costs.

Such average customer lifetime would be the period of time over which the customer contributes to the recovery of the: (a) downstream costs that are annualised according to a depreciation method that is appropriate to the asset in question and the economic lifetime of the corresponding assets required for the retail operations (including network costs that are not included in the wholesale NGA access service); and (b) other downstream costs that are normally not annualised (typically the subscriber acquisition costs) and which the operator incurs to gain customers and should seek to recover over the latters’ average lifetime.

They are obliged to install stage II petrol vapour recovery (PVR) systems.

recovered, recycled and reclaimed halon stored for critical uses in facilities authorised or operated by the competent authority to satisfy critical uses listed in Annex VII until 31 December 2009, and products and equipment containing halon to satisfy critical uses listed in Annex VII. Following a review undertaken by 1 January 2005 by the Commission of exports of such recovered, recycled and reclaimed halon for critical uses the Commission may prohibit such exports earlier than 31 December 2009.

The barriers arise for a variety of reasons: requirements which impose on operators established in one Member State the need to be established in another Member State if they wish to provide their services there (for example, radio stations); outmoded rules of unfair competition (e.g. restrictions on innovative promotions); restrictions on advertising and sales promotion; rules that discriminate against particular sorts of distribution channels (e.g. direct marketing); obligations for operators that offer services across borders which duplicate requirements already fulfilled in their home Member State (e.g. the recognition of certain ...[+++] qualifications); rules which preclude a company from taking all its staff across borders to provide services (for, instance in the area of tourism); less favourable treatment in tax matters for recipients of services, when the service provider is established in another Member State.
