NHTSA Cracking Down On Large Truck Braking Regulations
2009-07-26 19:51:00 Most professional truck drivers will tell you that one of the most challenging parts of their job is keeping control of such heavy loads when they need to make a quick stop. Heavy traffic and inconsiderate motorist only compound this frustration. Now, the National Highway Traffic and Safety Institute is planning on making the braking regulations even more strict, which could cause problems for manufacturers in the future.
Credit Card Usage Inconvenience due to RBI Regulations
2009-07-07 07:45:00 The budget has just been released, with the government taking a few good steps towards e-governance. However, in the furore over the budget, some important news has been missed out. RBI, on the 18th of February this year, released a circular on how banks must provide a system for separate authentication. As per the current rules, a person in possession of the credit card need only provide the name, code, validity, the details of which are available on the card. In order to create one more layer of security for ‘card not present’ transactions, all transactions over Rs. 5000/- will now require a separate authentication PIN which will be provided by the Financial institution. The concept of this one layer of security is not unique. Services like VBV (Verified by Visa) and Mastercard Securecode are already in practice, though most credit card users do not use them. The implementation of this practice will however, only dishearten the already dismal state of the credit card i...

Obama's Overhaul of Financial Regulations Should Include Beer-Based Tr
2009-06-22 14:29:00 Photo credit: Justin Sullivan/ Getty Image News Like most Americans, I understand what happened back in October when the economy collapsed, and I understand why: Shady mortgages, insane derivatives, nonsensical credit default swaps, lack of accountability and most importantly lack of oversight. Also like most Americans, I know something has to be done to stop all that BS from happening again. As far as what should be done, well, that's why back in November I hired this smart mofo, Obama, to do all that hard work. Look, I don't have time to overhaul the set of laws regulating the financial system -- I'm going to see "Drag Me to Hell" this week. That's why I chose Obama to get...

Perimeter-centric Regulations in an Information-centric World
2008-10-07 02:00:00 Last week I took a trip out to our Executive Briefing Centre in Cork, Ireland. I was there to present to senior IT folk from pretty much all of the UK’s Police Forces as part of a two-day agenda that had been lined up for them by my colleagues from many of EMC’s lines-of-business. I guess there are few other organisations where the lines between physical and virtual security are brought so sharply into focus than in one where you are dealing – first-hand – with criminals in the way that our police officers must every day of their working lives. During our conversations we mused on various aspects of keeping information secure in such a fluid and volatile environment...
China's Brand New Labor Law Regulations. It's All Here.
2008-09-25 03:38:00 This post was written by Andrew Grieve, who works with us on our Chinese employment law matters. The implementation regulations for the new Chinese Labor Contract Law were promulgated on September 3. When the draft regulations were issued earlier this year, we discussed some of the proposed changes (here), and despite having shrunk from 45 articles to 38, the content of the regulations remain relatively intact. You can read the full text of the final version of the regulations, in Chinese, here. The newly issued implementation regulations have four sections (compared to three in the draft version), dealing with establishing the labor contract, terminating the contract, special issues with dispatched workers, and an additional section on legal responsibility. The biggest cuts were in the section on establishing the labor contract. A brief rundown of the contents of this first section of the final regulations follows: -- Employees who refuse to sign a contract within the f...

New Japan Traffic Regulations
2008-06-04 03:24:00 ????New traffic regulations went in to force in Japan on June 1. The new laws affect both cars and bicycles.Motorists aged 75 or older are now required by law to display a momoji, maple leaf sticker on their cars. (The mark refers to drivers in the "autumn" of their lives and has drawn criticism for its "withered" symbolism). Drivers who have just passed their driving tests are given a "green" mark for their first year. Drivers failing to display the momoji sticker will be fined 4,000 yen (approx. US$38) and receive one penalty point on their license.However, the law and its enforcement remain vague. The National Police Agency has said it will hold off imposing fines on the elderly for a period of 12 months until June 2009.The wearing of rear seat belts also became "mandatory" from June 1 but only on expressways. Those not wearing seat belts on ordinary roads will escape a fine and be given a warning instead. This ordinance also applies to taxis and long-distance buses.As for cyclis...
Porsche vehicles to stay the course despite stricter CAFE regulations
2008-06-03 06:38:00 Porsche vehicles to stay the course despite stricter CAFE regulations Despite newly passed CAFE regulations, Porsche says the standards will not force it to change its brand image or vehicle lineup. The German automaker is widely regarded as one of the world's best sports car makers, a reputation it plans to keep even with impending fuel-economy regulations. "We will make our cars more fuel efficient, but we will not change our nature," Detlev von Platen, CEO of Porsche Cars North America, told Automotive News. "Our customers expect a certain characteristic to our cars." Instead of relying on smaller, less powerful engines, Porsche will focus on reducing the weight of its vehicles and will also begin to utilize hybrid technologies. Von Platen confirmed that a hybrid version of the Cayenne is head to the U.S. in late 2010 and the German automaker will also offer a hybrid version of the upcoming Panamera four-door coupe. However, despite the recent trend f...

CAFE regulations to cost Big 3 double that of Japanese automakers
2008-05-24 03:34:00 CAFE regulations to cost Big 3 double that of Japanese automakers While newly passed CAFE regulations will require all automakers to average 31.6 mpg fleet-wide by 2015, the new standards will have a greater impact on domestic automakers, a new report finds. The Big Three will have to pay about twice as much as their Japanese counterparts to comply with the new regulations. In all, it is expected that the Detroit 3 will pay about $30.6 billion — including $15 billion by General Motors alone — to bring their fleets inline with the new regulations, according to Automotive News. But because Japanese automakers already produce more efficient vehicles, it will only cost them about $14.85 billion to meet the new standards. The short lead time will also play into the expense associated with making more efficient vehicles. "That's not even really allowing for a full model change from where we are today," Rebecca Lindland, a Global Insight auto analyst, told...

The View From China: As its Securities Regulations are Modernized, the Red
2008-05-13 16:09:00 HONG KONG - The question came to me as I was standing on the floor of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange here. I?d be willing to wager that quite a few investors - both within China and back in the United States - are wondering about this, as well. Here it is: Will China implement a long-rumored capital-gains tax, and risk (another) major sell-off as a result? Only Beijing?s inner circle knows for sure, and that only stokes investor speculation. The uncertainty can lead to rampant, knee-jerk sell-offs each time the scuttlebutt of an “imminent” tax surfaces. And those rumors have been surfacing…SHARETHIS.addEn-try({ title: "The View From China: As its Securities Regulations are Modernized, the Red Dragon?s Profit Potential Will Soar", url: "http://jutiagroup.com/2008/05/-13/the-view-from-china-as-its-s-ecurities-regulations-are-moder-nized-the-red-dragon%e2%80%99s--profit-potential-will-soar/" });

GM?s LaNeve: Slumping truck and SUV sales, CAFE regulations will raise vehi
2008-05-03 03:27:00 GM's LaNeve: Slumping truck and SUV sales, CAFE regulations will raise vehicle prices U.S. consumers are already battling higher prices at the pumps, but they will soon have to deal with higher prices at dealerships, too. Thanks to slumping SUV and truck sales — automakers' biggest cash cows — and pending CAFE regulations, the average vehicle cost is set to rise. General Motors' marketing and sales head Mark LaNeve says these factors will push new car and crossover prices beyond their current levels. "The challenge for the industry from a revenue standpoint is — revenue has disappeared due to the truck market declines, higher commodity prices, the cost to develop technology to meet CAFE and other regulations," LaNeve told Automotive News. "So prices are going to have to come up over time, and I believe we're already seeing it. We're seeing similar moves from our competition." LaNeve failed to mention how much he expects ...

UK Asbestos Regulations
2008-04-06 09:57:00 Asbestos has been one of the most discussed health topics of the last few decades. This is due to the fact that asbestos emits invisible fibres that can have harmful effects on anyone who comes into contact with them for prolonged periods. Research has shown that asbestos fibres are the catalyst for many diseases including Lung Cancer, Pleural Thickening and Mesothelioma. With this research in mind, and conclusive proof that asbestos kills, many governments from around the world have hastened to ban the usage of asbestos in any form. Many laws and legislations have been put in place to ensure that asbestos is not imported manufactured or used. Like other governments from around the world, the UK government has taken steps to prohibit the usage of asbestos. Many laws have been passed for this purpose. Below are some examples of the laws approved by the UK Government against the usage and import of asbestos into the country in any form. - Asbestos (Licensing) Regulations (1983) - Asbe...
Hydrogen car projects affected by CARB regulations
2008-04-04 03:06:00 According to a recent article in Forbes, the new CARB rules will affect negatively all hydrogen car projects. Even though this is something quite a number of our readers consider good, the article states that it's bad, and it's a direct consequence of the reduction to 7,500 the number of zero-emissions vehicles required by 2014. This is 70 percent fewer than the 25,000 ZEVs CARB had mandated in 2003.Although what we might consider electric cars to be more ZEVs than hydrogen-powered vehicles, the article considers hydrogen fuel cells as solid ZEV options. Quoting GM sources, the article says that the problem is the lack of hydrogen infrastructure, not the ability of automakers to build hydrogen-powered cars. If a carmaker produces a small number of hydrogen-powered cars that can go a long distance, they won't be required to make many electrics.[Source: Forbes]
