I wanted to respond to this post from a bit ago, because I thought it was a good challenge. Certainly Japan is a wildly different country from the US, so the way it can be used sometimes as a "YIMBY model" can often be naïve. It is not YIMBY in many ways, for sure. Cowen sets out a list of ways Japan either isn't YIMBY or would have other reasons for its lower rents; as he puts it:

Yet the more I think about it, the more I tend to believe a very different proposition: Japan is in key ways a very NIMBY country, and its brand of NIMBYism has keeps real estate prices down. A corollary is this: YIMBYism gets much less credit for low Tokyo real estate prices, and furthermore the low real estate prices are a sign of something having gone wrong on the productivity side, in large part due to regulation.

So lets see how it holds up:

1. Japan has had very tough immigration restrictions.  This has eased considerably, but a) the stock matters not just the flow, and b) current Japanese migrants often are from countries such as Thailand and the Philippines, which fills in for some mid-level jobs, but does not massively boost rents.

Meh - True, though its more cultural then legal imo. But we aren't talking about Japan, we are talking about Tokyo. Tokyo has has large amounts of internal migration from the rest of Japan; meanwhile its not like NYC's net population has increased dramatically in the past 20 years from immigration. Unless immigrations have magic rent soil I'm not seeing this.

2. It is extremely difficult to learn written Japanese.  Among its other effects, this discourages high-value immigrants from settling into very high productivity service jobs in Tokyo or in Japan more generally.

Meh - definitely true! Japan needs language reform lol. But like above, immigration isn't magic rent soil, its about net people.

3. Various regulatory and legal decisions have prevented Tokyo from developing into the financial capital of Asia (haven’t you wondered  about this?).  I won’t go into all the detail here, this is the modern world so just ask ChatGPT.  I’m sure you all know that major financial centers usually lead to exorbitant rents, due to the opportunity cost of the land.

Boo - so I literally asked ChatGPT, since I was curious, and I got absolutely nothing - just vague platitudes and literally some of the other reasons from this list, like "It lacks immigration". I don't doubt some of this is true, but I don't think its a load bearing reason it isn't a financial center. Or at least don't be lazy and tell us what they are.

Which I think is relevant, to be clear - but I think might be a bit more endogenous than the article is letting on. The inability to financialize rents in Tokyo might in fact be a reason its less of a financial center!

4. So, so much of Japanese regulatory policy and culture is geared toward maintaining small retail businesses, super small in scale, and low in productivity.  They do not place much upward pressure on rents.  By the way, this is one reason why tourists find Tokyo so wonderful, but those enterprises lower productivity considerably relative to say Walmarts.  It is no accident that so many Japanese examples populate “Markets in Everything,” that they have cat and furry cafes, and so on.

Probably True - I think he is exaggerating, and like "culture" is doing a lot of work here, but its definitely true that Japan has large small business orgs that work hand-in-hand with government to shape the urban ecology for them. The big companies are doing their own thing of course, but I am open this idea for sure. Japan's business-political complex is very vast.

But of course it might all just be downstream of the rents; if rent is low, you can build whatever.

Overall, I think meh? But I think a better argument could be made - we do need more detailed understandings of how Japan's real estate market functions in relation to its urban planning. I see one or the other in a box a lot, but the interaction I think should be dug into more.

The History of Korean Male Groups – From Yeonhee Professional Singers’ Quartet to BTS -> Pt. 4/? (Rewrite)

This is a continuation from Part 3, this is on the broadcasting in Korea that the Yeonhui Professional Quartet performed on and many other acts during the Japanese Colonial Period.

The birth and demise of broadcasting stations

This text provides an overview of the broadcasting stations in Korea from the period prior to liberation through the 1980s and 1990s.

The emergence and dissolution of broadcasting stations in Korea hold significant historical importance. This narrative includes the pivotal moment of Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule, the media consolidation measures implemented in 1980, instances where private broadcasting entities failed to obtain approval from regulatory bodies, and the various factors contributing to the closure of these stations, including economic challenges and shifts in international circumstances.

Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station (JODK)(경���방송국)

I previously refrained from discussing this broadcasting station because I was still unfamiliar with Korean history research and believed there was insufficient information available. Consequently, I thought including it would not be beneficial. However, I will incorporate it now, as I have discovered intriguing details about its significant role in the Korean industry, particularly in supporting the promotion of both historical and contemporary Korean acts.

The Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station (JODK) (경성방송국; 朝鮮放送協會), established during the Japanese colonial period, was the first broadcasting entity to halt operations after Korea's liberation. Its operational timeline is February 16th 1927 till August 5th 1948. Although the name Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station was discontinued post-liberation, a significant question arises regarding whether the subsequent broadcasting organization should be viewed as a continuation of the original station or as the founding of a new entity.

The first broadcasting station in Korea established by Japanese, Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station (JODK, 1927-1947)

On November 30, 1926, the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station received permission from Japanese nationals and the Japanese Government-General of Korea to operate broadcasting and wireless telephone services as a corporate entity. It subsequently registered with the Gyeongseong District Court on December 11. This establishment was presented as a means to promote the cultural development and welfare of the peninsula's residents, which led to the approval of the 'Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station' and a 'broadcasting culture facility.'

First broadcast site (Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station site), 1-76 Jeong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul (inside Deoksu Elementary School).

As a result, the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station, which opened on February 16, 1927, became the first broadcasting station in Korea and the forerunner of today's KBS. Established by Japanese individuals with support from the Japanese Government-General, the station aimed to meet the informational and cultural needs of the Japanese community in Korea while also promoting compliance among Koreans with the Japanese colonial regime.

The board of directors was entirely composed of Japanese members, one of whom was responsible for nominating a chairman, subject to the approval of the Director of the Postal Bureau of the Government-General. Ultimately, the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station operated as a non-profit organization that primarily advanced Japan's interests in reinforcing its colonial agenda in Korea, neglecting the aspirations of the Korean people.

What is JODK?

The call sign JODK was assigned to Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station, making it Japan's fourth station after the ITU designated the prefix JO, following Tokyo (JOAK), Osaka (JOBK), and Nagoya (JOCK). The Government-General of Korea initially opposed the use of the call sign DK by the Japanese Post Office, arguing it contradicted Japan's colonial policy of integrating domestic and foreign stations, leading to the designation of DK as the fourth call sign.

Formation policy in the early days of the country

The inception of the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station coincided with the nascent phase of broadcasting in Japan, characterized by a lack of established programming principles, which hindered the organization of programs according to any systematic policies.

Article 6 of the Japanese "Summary of Research" emphasizes that broadcasting management in Japan should prioritize practical reporting—covering aspects such as time, weather, awards, and news—while relegating music to a secondary role.

Instrumental ensemble that appeared on Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station

This principle was inevitably imposed on Korea, a colony, albeit with an additional programming directive aimed at appeasing the Korean populace, which proclaimed the enhancement and development of Korean culture as an ideal. Despite the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station's assertion of a mission focused on cultural advancement and public welfare, it effectively functioned as a crucial instrument of national policy in the governance of the peninsula.

Early alternate broadcasting (mixed broadcasting)

Upon its inception, the broadcasting system was characterized by an unusual structure, featuring alternating Korean and Japanese broadcasts on a single channel. Initially, the ratio of Korean to Japanese broadcasts was set at 1 to 3; however, following criticism from various media outlets, this ratio was adjusted to 2 to 3 in July of that year, maintaining the alternating format.

This approach, referred to as mixed broadcasting, manifested in four distinct formats: first, simultaneous broadcasting of Korean and Japanese programs within the same time slot; second, grouping programs for alternating broadcasts centered around time reports; third, separating programs to air on alternate days; and fourth, scheduling Korean broadcasts late at night after the conclusion of all Japanese programming.

Implementation of double broadcasting

In the initial phase of broadcasting, the disparity in the availability of Korean and Japanese languages created dissatisfaction among listeners. To remedy this issue, a dual broadcasting framework was established on April 26, 1933, which featured Japanese as the primary language for the first broadcast and Korean for the subsequent one. This initiative resulted in the formation of a dedicated Korean-language channel that developed content specifically for Korean audiences, while news was predominantly delivered in Japanese and subsequently translated into Korean.

There were concerted efforts to maintain traditional Korean culture through various educational and entertainment programs, some of which garnered positive reception from Japanese listeners. Nevertheless, the growth of Korean broadcasting was curtailed by the onset of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937, as radio became a means for the Governor-General’s administration to galvanize nationalistic sentiments.

In 1941, with Japan intensifying its military engagement in the Pacific War, the Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation refined its radio offerings by focusing on immediate news reporting, much of which was designed to propagate militaristic and imperialistic narratives. Radio became an essential tool in sustaining the wartime governance framework. A notable event transpired in December 1942, when several individuals were apprehended for secretly tuning into the prohibited Voice of America shortwave broadcasts at the Kaesong Broadcasting Station, resulting in the temporary halt of the second broadcast in June 1943.

Discussion on the duration of the Broadcasting Station

The Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station's timeline is unclear due to its ongoing operations through various changes, rather than a clear closure and reopening, resulting in differing interpretations of its post-liberation history.

The U.S. Military Government initially took control of the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station, including JODK, integrating it into the Public Information Department while the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications managed broadcasting technology and facilities, as per Military Government Ordinance No. 64 on March 29, 1946. The station was restructured into a broadcasting department and reestablished as a station in October of the same year.

The timeline of Japanese control over the broadcasting station is crucial. After liberation on August 15, the Japanese military occupied the station on August 17 for security until September 8. On September 15, following the dismissal of the Government-General of Korea's directors by the U.S. Commander, Japanese officials resigned, leading to the full transfer of the Korean Broadcasting Association to Korean management under U.S. Military Government oversight.

An additional criterion for evaluating the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station's call sign 'JODK' is its duration of use. The call sign KBS was first used with the regular broadcasting system on October 18, 1946. Before this, broadcast schedules were known only to staff, and a 15-minute quarter system later required a call sign after each segment. The lengthy English call sign KBS (Korea Key Station of the Korean Broadcasting System) was used. Additionally, the call sign 'HL' was assigned on September 3, 1947, during the International Radiocommunication Conference and began broadcasting in Korea on October 1, 1947 (Korean Broadcasting Association, 1997).

While there are various views on the timeline of the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station's operation, the author suggests September 15, 1945, when the Joseon Broadcasting Association and Gyeongseong Central Broadcasting Station were fully transferred to Korean control, as the definitive reference point.

Negative evaluation of Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station

There is both negative and positive of the evaluation of the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station.

Critical perspectives question the classification of Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station as the origin of broadcasting in Korea, primarily due to its establishment being a product of Japan's colonial agenda rather than a reflection of Korean initiative. This colonial context underpins the argument against recognizing Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station as a legitimate Korean broadcasting entity.

Initiated by Japanese broadcasting professionals and utilizing Japanese technology, Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station served as a tool for the exploitation of the Korean Peninsula during the colonial era, with its initial audience comprising government officials and Japanese merchants aligned with colonial interests.

A scene from the Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station broadcasting a song in the 1930s.

Park Ki-seong (박기성) (1985) identifies several characteristics of radio broadcasting as a mechanism of colonial control, including its role in implementing colonial policies, undermining Korean culture, facilitating mass persuasion, showcasing Japanese cultural superiority, creating a market for Japanese broadcasting, and fostering internal unity to support Japan's militaristic expansion.

Consequently, there is a prevailing argument that Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station should not be regarded as a Korean broadcasting station, with the date of September 3, 1947, when Korea received its call sign 'HL' from the International Radiocommunication Conference, being proposed as the true inception of Korean broadcasting.

Positive evaluation of Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station

Conversely, some individuals view Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station positively, noting its significant contributions despite being established by the Japanese. It advanced broadcasting technology, promoted a standardized Korean language, supported children's emotional development through songs, preserved traditional music like Aak and Pansori, and laid the groundwork for the evolution of broadcast content, including dramas.

Unfortunately, numerous recordings produced by Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station from its inception until the 1940s were either lost or destroyed during the Korean War.

French farming unions are taking aim at the European Union’s free-trade agreements, which they say open the door to unfair competition from products arriving from overseas. At a time when the EU is urging farmers to adopt more sustainable – and sometimes more costly – agricultural practices, unions say these trade deals are making it hard for them to stay solvent.

French farmers say that one of their biggest fears is that Chilean apples, Brazilian grains and Canadian beef will flood the European market, thereby undermining their livelihoods. France’s farmers continued to demonstrate on the country’s motorways on Wednesday, protesting against rising costs, over-regulation and free-trade agreements –partnerships between the EU and exporting nations that the farming unions say leads to unfair competition. 

The EU has signed several free-trade agreements in recent years, all with the objective of facilitating the movement of goods and services. But farmers say the deals bring with them insurmountable challenges.

"These agreements aim to reduce customs duties, with maximum quotas for certain agricultural products and non-tariff barriers," said Elvire Fabry, senior researcher at the Jacques Delors Institute, a French think-tank dedicated to European affairs. "They also have an increasingly broad regulatory scope to promote European standards for investment, protection of intellectual property, geographical indications and sustainable development standards."

South American trade deal in the crosshairs

Some non-EU countries – such as Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland – maintain comprehensive free-trade agreements with the EU because they are part of the European Economic Area. This allows them to benefit from the free movement of goods, services, capital and people.

Other nations farther afield have signed more variable agreements with the EU, including Canada, Japan, Mexico, Vietnam and Ukraine. The EU also recently signed an accord with Kenya and a deal with New Zealand that will come into force this year; negotiations are also under way with India and Australia.    

However, a draft agreement between the EU and the South American trade bloc Mercosur is creating the most concern. Under discussion since the 1990s, this trade partnership between Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay would create the world's largest free-trade area, a market encompassing 780 million people. 

French farmers are particularly concerned about the deal’s possible effect on agriculture. The most recent version of the text introduces quotas for Mercosur countries to export 99,000 tonnes of beef, 100,000 tonnes of poultry and 180,000 tonnes of sugar per year, with little or no customs duties imposed. In exchange, duties would also be lowered on exports from the EU on many “protected designation of origin” (PDO) products. 

At a time when the EU is urging farmers to adopt more sustainable agricultural practices, French unions say these agreements would open the door to massive imports – at more competitive prices – of products that do not meet the same environmental standards as those originating in Europe. French farmers are calling out what they say is unfair competition from farmers in South America who can grow GMO crops and use growth-promoting antibiotics on livestock, which is banned in the EU. 

Trade unions from various sectors went into action after the European Commission informed them on January 24 that negotiations with Mercosur could be concluded "before the end of this mandate", i.e., before the European Parliament elections in June.      

The FNSEA, France’s biggest farming union, immediately called for a "clear rejection of free-trade agreements" while the pro-environmental farming group Confédération Paysanne (Farmers' Confederation) called for an "immediate end to negotiations" on this type of agreement.   

A mixed record

"In reality, the impact of these free-trade agreements varies from sector to sector," said Fabry. "Negotiations prior to agreements aim to calibrate the opening up of trade to limit the negative impact on the most exposed sectors. And, at the same time, these sectors can benefit from other agreements. In the end, it's a question of finding an overall balance."

This disparity is glaringly obvious in the agricultural sector. "The wine and spirits industry as well as the dairy industry stand to gain more than livestock farmers, for example," said Fabry. These sectors are the main beneficiaries of free-trade agreements, according to a 2023 report by the French National Assembly.

"The existence of trade agreements that allow customs duty differentials to be eliminated is an 'over-determining factor' in the competitiveness of French wines," wrote FranceAgriMer, a national establishment for agriculture and maritime products under the authority of the French ministry of agriculture in a 2021 report. The majority of free-trade agreements lower or abolish customs duties to allow the export of many PDO products, a category to which many wines belong.

However, the impact on meat is less clear-cut. While FranceAgriMer says the balance between imports and exports appears to be in the EU's favour for pork, poultry exports seem to be declining as a result of the agreements. Hence the fears over the planned treaty with New Zealand, which provides for 36,000 tonnes of mutton to be imported into the EU, equivalent to 45% of French production in 2022. France,however, still has a large surplus of grains except for soya. 

‘A bargaining chip’

Beyond the impact on agriculture, "this debate on free-trade agreements must take into account other issues", said Fabry. "We are in a situation where the EU is seeking to secure its supplies and in particular its supplies of strategic minerals. Brazil's lithium, cobalt, graphite and other resource reserves should not be overlooked."

The agreement with Chile should enable strategic minerals to be exported in exchange for agricultural products. Germany strongly supports the agreement with Mercosur, as it sees it as an outlet for its industrial sectors, according to Fabry.

"In virtually all free-trade agreements, agriculture is always used as a bargaining chip in exchange for selling cars or Airbus planes," Véronique Marchesseau, general-secretary of the Confédération Paysanne, told AFP.

Michèle Boudoin, president of the French National Sheep Federation, told AFP that the agreement with New Zealand will "destabilise the lamb market in France".  

"We know that Germany needs to export its cars, that France needs to sell its wheat, and we're told that we need an ally in the Pacific tocounter China and Russia. But if that is the case, then we need help to be able to produce top-of-the-line lamb, for example," she said.

Finally, "there is a question of influence", said Fabry. "These agreements also remain a way for the EU to promote its environmental standards to lead its partners along the path of ecological transition, even if this has to be negotiated," said Fabry. 

Marc Fesneau, the French minister of agriculture, made the same argument. "In most cases, the agreements have been beneficial, including to French agriculture," Fesneau wrote on X last week, adding: "They will be even more so if we ensure that our standards are respected."

Mercosur negotiations suspended? 

As the farmers’ promised “siege” of Paris and other major locations across France continues, the French government has been trying to reassure agricultural workers about Mercosur, even though President Emmanuel Macron and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva relaunched negotiations in December. "France is clearly opposed to the signing of the Mercosur treaty," Prime Minister Gabriel Attal acknowledged last week.

The Élysée Palace even said on Monday evening that EU negotiations with the South American bloc had been suspended because of France's opposition to the treaty. The conditions are "not ripe" for concluding the negotiations, said Eric Mamer, spokesman for the European Commission. "However, discussions are ongoing." 

Before being adopted, the agreement would have to be passed unanimously by the European Parliament, then ratified individually by the 27 EU member states.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Why would C-11 have any impact on what videos are available in another country, i.e. Japan? Aside from not finding anything about this in the text of the bill or in news coverage of the concerns around the bill, the Canadian government also doesn't have the power to regulate this. This idea has appeared to two asks you've received and I'm very confused about where it is coming from.

Under the Canadian broadcasting system, online services such as Netflix, Crave, Disney+ and their domestic and foreign competitors are described as "online undertakings." If passed, the Bill will empower the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications (the "CRTC") to make orders imposing conditions on "online undertakings" reflective of certain objectives, including, but not limited to: support for the creation of Canadian content; fair and equitable treatment of similarly situated broadcasting undertakings; and diversity, equity and inclusion (including with respect to Indigenous communities).

While the scope of the Bill is significant, the draft legislation stops short of providing any specific requirements or measures, leaving this task solely to the discretion of the CRTC to assess what is required of each online undertaking in a regulatory proceeding and order accordingly. The CRTC will be provided with the power to set quotas (depending on the nature of the online undertaking), determine the mandated types of content and impose specific obligations such as discoverability and programming expenditure requirements.

Whisper “Trickbot” or “Conti,” and cybersecurity experts will be spooked. These are pieces of malware and ransomware used by a gang of Russia-based hackers to sneak into computer servers and demand at least $800 million from Western corporations, hospitals, and government agencies. In February and September, Britain and the United States imposed joint sanctions on 18 members of the hacker syndicate behind the attacks. In doing so, Washington and London dealt a blow not just to the hackers but also to Moscow: The Trickbot-Conti gang has supported the invasion of Ukraine and probably received directions from Russian security services. The sanctions ban the syndicate’s members from traveling to the United States or Britain and freeze their assets in these countries. But there’s a catch: The European Union has not imposed sanctions, leaving the hackers free to operate in the bloc.

This apparent flaw is not an administrative glitch. Since Britain left the EU in 2020, London and Brussels have made sanctions decisions completely separately, and there is no formal mechanism to ensure alignment between British and European measures. This has resulted in regulatory divergences—a polite way to say sanctions loopholes—that Moscow and other malicious actors can exploit. The Trickbot-Conti gang is only one example of such exploitation, but it highlights the fact that restarting British-EU collaboration on sanctions is long overdue. Increased cooperation would be a quick and cheap way for Britain and the EU to close glaring sanctions loopholes and deal a blow to the Kremlin.

Ask any Western official, and they will tell you that collaboration on Russia sanctions among G-7 countries is going hunky dory. On paper, this may be true. In the first days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Western countries including Britain, the United States, and the 27 members of the EU jointly froze around half of Russia’s $640 billion in foreign-exchange reserves. The joint G-7-EU price cap on Russian oil exports is another example of Western sanctions cooperation. Yet the reality is that such coordination is the exception, not the norm. In particular, there is little cooperation between Britain and the EU on targeting Kremlin-linked businesspeople and illicit groups helping the Russian war machine.

Of course, there are reasons for this: The British government likes to claim that it is no longer a haven for wealthy Russians, but British law still makes it harder than in the EU to place someone under sanctions. Yet this obstacle is not insurmountable, and there are at least three reasons why greater alignment on Russia sanctions would be a positive development. The first is obvious: Joint British-EU designations would boost the effectiveness of sanctions. With common designations, individuals and companies engaged in illicit activities would be barred from traveling to, and operating from, both Britain and the EU—magnifying the impact of Western sanctions and possibly compelling other like-minded allies, such as Canada, Australia, and Japan, to impose similar measures on the same murky people or firms.

Formalized information sharing between Britain and the EU’s member states would also help to detect sanctions evasion schemes. Joint British-EU designations would prove especially useful to clamp down on those illegal networks that smuggle semiconductors for the Russian military in breach of Western export controls. Many of the firms that engage in such behavior are based in China, Turkey, or the United Arab Emirates, but others are found in Britain and the EU. Earlier this month, Washington blacklisted 49 entities that were shipping semiconductors to Moscow, including three companies operating from Britain, Finland, and Germany. From this perspective, joint measures to tackle sanctions evasion make sense. What’s more, Britain and EU member France are among the few countries that have the intelligence capabilities to detect companies dodging sanctions.

The second reason has to do with the private sector. Many of the Western firms that chose to stay in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine face a tricky situation. Beyond the controls that Moscow has imposed to complicate exits, many multinationals report that the difficulties of navigating different sanctions regimes further complicate exit strategies. Of course, this argument may be disingenuous: It could well be that some private firms have chosen to stay in Russia and are using sanctions divergence as an excuse to deflect criticism. Greater alignment between British and EU sanctions legislation would make this talking point moot and possibly help some firms to leave the Russian market.

A third factor is that pan-European collaboration on sanctions would be a useful preemptive measure for Europeans to take if a Republican president were to upend U.S. sanctions policy on Russia from 2025. The risk is far from hypothetical: Many Republican candidates, including former U.S. President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and the entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy have no qualms suggesting that supporting Ukraine against Russia does not make sense for the United States. The election of any of these candidates would therefore spell trouble for Western sanctions policy toward Russia. If Europeans are serious about their long-term commitment to Ukraine, building a united British-European front on sanctions would be a great idea to start preparing for a potential change of heart toward Moscow in Washington.

Just because a policy proposal makes sense on paper does not mean that it will work out well in practice. Excellent proposals are often too complex, costly, or unpopular to implement. The good news is that greater sanctions collaboration would probably avoid these pitfalls. First, it would be simple to implement. Both sides used to work together before Brexit, and the administrators to adopt and implement sanctions are already in place on both sides. An additional bonus is that London’s well-staffed, top-notch sanctions teams are the envy of their European counterparts.

Second, little or no money is needed to restart cooperation on Russia-related sanctions. After sanctions are adopted, it is up to private firms to implement the measures and cover the costs of compliance. On the government side, the amounts at stake to design and implement sanctions programs are therefore minimal and do not entail lengthy budget negotiations. In addition, both sides have no money to make in the field: Sanctions probably represent one of the few areas where Britain and the EU, which have become fierce economic competitors since Brexit, have no firms to promote in a bid to create jobs and raise fiscal revenues.

Third, public interest in sanctions technicalities is low, limiting the risk of a political backlash. Few people outside experts care about the nitty-gritty of sanctions, let alone whether they are joint or unilateral measures. In addition, there is a broad pan-European consensus on the need to confront Russia. According to a Bruegel poll from early 2023, support for sanctions policies has held steady since February 2022; despite Russian claims to the contrary, majorities or pluralities in all European countries but one support economic and financial sanctions. As a result of these two factors, greater British-EU sanctions collaboration would most likely be uncontroversial. To put it more bluntly: Very few people beyond the affected individuals and firms—and, of course, the Kremlin—would care about joint British-EU sanctions.

Sanctions represent a key tool for Western countries to weigh on Russia’s ability to wage war against Ukraine. As a result, ensuring the effectiveness and predictability of these measures should be a priority for allies, not least to ensure greater compliance and buy-in from the private sector. This, in a nutshell, is why greater British-EU collaboration on sanctions would make perfect sense. Of course, it would not be a silver bullet to change Moscow’s calculus in Ukraine. But every little bit helps, and greater collaboration on sanctions could also represent a low-hanging fruit to revive political relations across the channel.

 what is binance

Binance is a global cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao, a former software developer at Bloomberg Tradebook. It has quickly become one of the most popular exchanges in the world due to its wide range of features and user-friendly interface. Binance is headquartered in Malta and has offices in various countries around the world.

One of the key features of Binance is its vast selection of cryptocurrencies. It currently supports over 500 different coins and tokens, making it one of the most comprehensive exchanges in the market. This allows users to access a wide range of investment opportunities and diversify their portfolio across different cryptocurrencies.

Binance also offers a variety of trading options, including spot trading, margin trading, and futures trading. Spot trading involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies for immediate delivery, while margin trading allows users to trade with borrowed funds, giving them the opportunity to increase their profits or losses. Futures trading involves trading contracts that allow traders to speculate on the price of a cryptocurrency at a future date.

In addition to trading, Binance offers a range of other services, including staking, savings, and lending. Staking involves holding cryptocurrencies in a wallet to support the network and earn rewards. Savings allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrency holdings, while lending allows them to earn interest by lending their cryptocurrency to other users.

Binance also has its own cryptocurrency, Binance Coin (BNB), which can be used to pay for trading fees on the platform. BNB has become one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the market, with a market capitalization of over $40 billion.

One of the key strengths of Binance is its security measures. The platform uses a variety of security features to protect user funds, including two-factor authentication, SSL encryption, and cold storage. Binance also has a Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) that provides an extra layer of protection in case of security breaches or other unexpected events.

Another advantage of Binance is its user-friendly interface. The platform is designed to be easy to use, even for beginners, and offers a range of educational resources to help users learn about cryptocurrencies and trading. Binance also has a mobile app that allows users to trade and manage their portfolio on the go.

Despite its many strengths, Binance has faced some challenges in recent years. In 2019, the platform suffered a security breach that resulted in the theft of over $40 million worth of cryptocurrency. Binance responded quickly to the breach and was able to recover the stolen funds, but it highlighted the need for strong security measures in the cryptocurrency industry.

Binance has also faced regulatory scrutiny in some countries, including the United States and Japan. In 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK banned Binance from operating in the country, citing concerns about its compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Binance has since made efforts to improve its AML policies and has been working to address regulatory concerns in other countries.

In conclusion, Binance is a comprehensive and user-friendly cryptocurrency exchange that offers a wide range of trading options and services. Its vast selection of cryptocurrencies, security measures, and educational resources make it an attractive choice for both beginner and experienced traders. However, like any cryptocurrency exchange, it also faces challenges and risks, including security breaches and regulatory scrutiny. As with any investment, it is important for users to do their own research and carefully consider the risks before investing in cryptocurrencies.

Binance has grown rapidly since its launch in 2017 and has become one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. According to CoinMarketCap, Binance is currently ranked as the 4th largest exchange by trading volume, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $12 billion at the time of writing.

View Detailed Report Description: https://www.globalinsightservices.com/reports/in-vitro-diagnostics-ivd-quality-control-market/

Market Dynamics

As the burden of various diseases increases globally, so has the number of laboratory tests. The number of laboratories in both the public and private sectors has increased in response to this need. With the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019, the demand for diagnostic tests has skyrocketed. Many government organizations have established new laboratories in response to this epidemic and to increase laboratory testing capacity. The majority of nations need clinical laboratories to get regulatory body accreditation before performing diagnostic tests. Additionally, accreditation to ISO 15189:2012 and other comparable standards is turning into a requirement in many nations. Authorities assess a laboratory’s competency and quality system during the accreditation process using predetermined standards. While some European nations, including Belgium, France, Hungary, Ireland, and Lithuania, require accreditation for a variety of laboratory tests, others, like Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK, have practically finished the process.

It costs a lot of money to set up a QC process in a clinical laboratory. Additionally, laboratories must keep a specialized staff on hand to oversee the QC system. Moreover, regardless of the number of tests conducted, QC procedures are expensive. As a result, QC methods are particularly expensive to adopt for clinical laboratories that perform few diagnostic tests. This is predicted to lead to a lesser adoption of QC procedures, along with budgetary restrictions in many hospitals and laboratories in developed and emerging nations.
