The possible budget presented below is only an approximation.

But that's the closest approximation I can have to it.

July approximation and the road towards the Sixth Ministerial Conference

So to a first approximation, we have these things twenty petahertz synapse firings.

He expressed disappointment that the first approximation checkpoint of July 2005 did not provide the expected results.

However, although GNI was the best approximation of capacity to pay, it was not the only one.

The other priorities, such as approximation of legislation, were carried out and are still carried out within national programmes.

(i) The scale to be based on data on gross national product, as a first approximation of capacity to pay

But to a first approximation, the size of this machine is the size and its complexity, kind of to your brain.

While Armenia considered the data to be an approximation, it would not be possible to obtain more accurate data for that year.

For overseas branches, the net amount due to the local parent companies is taken as an approximation of the magnitude of direct investment.

These data, however, form a good approximation of the degree of economic dependence and subordination and consequently psychological of women regarding their partners.

Environment models may take two forms as discrete models, which represent the debris population in a detailed format, or as an engineering approximation.

The preliminary results are in reasonable agreement with measurements suggesting that the draped field is a meaningful first order approximation to the real Martian wake.

The first approximation for the modalities was expected to provide the ground to reach an agreement on the full modalities at the Sixth WTO Ministerial Conference.

Now, the machine is in this case, it's a real approximation of that, because obviously you can't move physical matter infinitely with infinite speed and have it stop instantaneously.

The immediate objective of the negotiations has been to reach agreement by July 2005 on a first approximation of the full modalities on agriculture and non agricultural market access.

32. Some members argued that a three year base period would have the advantage of providing the most recent, and therefore realistic, approximation of Member States apos current capacity to pay.

44. The Committee noted that the availability and reliability of data for GDP was somewhat better than for GNP, which was conceptually superior as an approximation of the capacity to pay.

(i) The scale to be based on estimates of gross national product, as a first approximation of the capacity to pay, and subject to adjustment for factors identified by the General Assembly

Owing to the lack of progress in substantive negotiations arising from the political sensitivities and complexity of the technical questions involved, the first approximation was not achieved by the end of July 2005.

The Iranian delegation therefore supported the immediate phase out of the scheme of limits and believed that a three year base period would provide the most accurate approximation of current capacity to pay.

In this respect, you have been invited to focus on bilateral investment treaties as a first approximation to the broader universe of investment agreements that also includes, of course, regional and multilateral instruments.

Bearing in mind that the Shetland coastline represents only a fraction of the European total, the costs could run into billions of dollars if this approximation was extended to cover coastal communities throughout Europe.

Ms. Ramoutar (Trinidad and Tobago) said that even though no consensus had been reached, the Honduran proposal represented the current stage of the negotiations and the Committee's closest approximation of consensus on the question.

The July approximation expectations were lowered to be an inventory of all areas of the negotiations and a progress report by the Director General of the WTO as the Chairman of the Trade Negotiations Committee.

28. The Committee recalled that the Working Group had recommended the use of estimates of gross national product (GNP) as a first approximation of the capacity to pay, based on data reliability, availability, comparability and simplicity.

15. Any draft text adopted by the Committee at the current session must be considered only the beginning, an incomplete approximation of a genuine condemnation by the General Assembly of international terrorism in all its forms.

An approximation of the rules used in Daleks, a robots like game for early Apple computers. The hero is allotted one energy each round that can be used to power the sonic screwdriver. All other special features are disabled.

This requires that technical work be advanced substantially, most notably the completion of the approximation of full modalities in agriculture and non agricultural market access by the end of July 2005, or shortly thereafter, and in advance of the ministerial conference.

In cold waters, however, recovery takes much longer, as the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska in 1989 demonstrated. The rule of thumb that chemical and biochemical processes double in speed with each increase of ten degrees Celsius is a reasonable approximation here, too.

It is expected that this approach may help the consideration of negotiation proposals specific to the needs of small, vulnerable economies by the time of the July approximation and for the Sixth WTO Ministerial Conference to take a decision on those concrete measures.

Most of the RTAs signed by the EU do not contain such approximation clauses , but usually provide instead for standards similar to those prevailing under EU law which may indeed also be similar to those prevailing under the law of the other party.

And why this is interesting is that if you put on, say, a pair of safety glasses, that have two infrared dots in them, what these two dots are essentially going to give you is, give the computer an approximation of your head location.

It seems unlikely that the influence of monetary policy on the rate of interest will be sufficient by itself, Keynes wrote in 1936. I conceive, therefore, that a somewhat comprehensive socialization of investment will prove the only means of securing an approximation to full employment.

After reviewing the literature cited by Saudi Arabia as well as other publicly available literature relevant to this claim unit, the Panel considers that Saudi Arabia's estimate of 22,500 deaths in its coastal areas is a reasonable approximation of the number of pelagic birds lost.

They suggested that, consistent with the concept that income share should be the first approximation to a Member State s capacity to pay, a non distorting floor should be introduced to limit the maximum adjustment for any Member State, for example to 50 per cent of its share of gross national product.

The most important new objectives of the Act are those connected with the law approximation and the aim to create a system of procedural rules that reflects the differences between competition supervision proceedings and civil proceedings on the one hand and the former and administrative procedures under their general rules on the other.

(i) Estimates of gross national product, as a first approximation of capacity to pay, and subject to adjustment for factors identified by the General Assembly, as recommended by the Committee on Contributions in paragraph 28 of its report A 50 11 Add.2 see Official Records of the General Assembly, Fiftieth Session, Supplement No. 11A.

My belief is that economics is somewhat more vulnerable than the physical sciences to models whose validity will never be clear, because the necessity for approximation is much stronger than in the physical sciences, especially given that the models describe people rather than magnetic resonances or fundamental particles. People can just change their minds and behave completely differently.

Indeed, if all eurozone countries did not participate, such outside cooperation would be crucial, given that Articles 136 and 138 would no longer apply. This could include measures to strengthen the European Stability Mechanism and the Euro Plus Pact (designed to enhance economic policy coordination among member states), de facto cooperation within the Bretton Woods institutions, and voluntary approximation of national laws in certain areas.

The Committee recalled that it had recommended the use of estimates of gross national product (GNP) as a first approximation of capacity to pay, as had the Ad Hoc Intergovernmental Working Group on the Implementation of the Principle of Capacity to Pay,3 and that the General Assembly had accepted this approach in the context of the adoption of the scales of assessments for 1998 2000, 2001 2003 and 2004 2006.
