The production sectors suffer from low productivity and weak competitiveness, due mainly to the inefficient use of resources, insufficient networking and clustering and poor use of technology.

Indeed it is militarily inefficient to use weapons where there is a high likelihood they will not reach the desired target.

It is inefficient of you.

C. Longlining Is Inefficient and Wasteful

So this is a profoundly inefficient process.

Forget about subsidizing inefficient technologies or making fossil fuels too expensive to use. Instead, let s fund the basic research that will make green energy too cheap and easy to resist.

We have 1.4 million expensively deployed, inefficient radio cellular base stations.

Like its agriculture, Africa's markets are highly under capitalized and inefficient.

Most pollen that causes hay fever for us is from plants that use the wind to disseminate the pollen, and that's a very inefficient process, which is why it gets up our noses so much.

Whereas if we made them heavy, they'd be both hostile and inefficient.

Those part inefficient planes are worth more to society dead than alive.

The absence of a single coordinating body resulted in an inefficient system.

It's not good stuff, and it's from inefficient combustion, not from combustion itself.

Land degradation is a major threat, with some 73 per cent of the land being lightly to very severely degraded as the result of overgrazing, wind and water erosion, the inefficient use of water resources and political tensions.

We can't do that today because solar panels are heavy, expensive and very inefficient.

We continue to see demonstrably inefficient practices and inertia, and we keep on repeating them.

Yet public water utilities in developing countries are usually inadequately funded, poorly managed and inefficient.

Because typically they've been too inefficient, inaccessible, they've not been fast enough, they've been quite expensive.

Such tax induced distortions would lead to an inefficient regional allocation of investment and possible tax competition.

The goal of squeezing as much money as possible out of time makes a great deal of sense in poor countries, where inefficient use of time can lead to starvation. The whole point of economic development is, surely, to reduce the cost of inefficiency.

Since his success in the Diet election last year, Abe has talked about liberalizing electricity markets, improving corporate governance, and undertaking tax reform. In addition, he hopes to use the recently concluded Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement to force reform of the inefficient agriculture sector.

The state should not be in the business of producing goods and services because it's inefficient and incompetent.

We've made improvements in energy and resource efficiency, but the consumer sector, especially in America, is very inefficient.

With too little electricity, blackouts are common. Ports are inefficient, roads are congested, and traffic is astonishingly chaotic.

Multiple attacks of unitary precision weapons would be inefficient and would significantly increase the risk to the delivery aircraft.

It could also mean high maintenance costs in terms of energy consumption owing to outmoded and relatively inefficient structures and systems.

For eight years, George W. Bush has managed to incarnate and reinforce all the prejudices and negative stereotypes the world has of the US. He has antagonized the world more than any other American president before him, seriously damaging America s soft power by inefficient and excessive use of its hard power.

However, the results had not measured up to expectations owing to deficient coordination and the ineffective use made of the assistance, in particular as a result of the duplication of work among the many different coordination bodies, the complexity of the donors' procedures and their manifold conditions, the lack of studies on the incorporation of a development perspective in the plans and programmes, and the inefficient use of the external resources.

The intensification of rice production with inefficient application of pesticides has caused significant damage to agro biodiversity and resulted in environmental pollution.

The combination of high subsidies, historically declining catches, high fuel costs and other factors make longlining unsustainable, inefficient and unprofitable to most fishers.

Creating administrative documents, converting them to Word and moving them about by electronic mail (e mail) or as hardcopy is inefficient and obsolete.

While eliminating inefficient spending, especially inefficient tax subsidies, can generate some of these funds, more tax revenues may be needed. The rich can certainly afford to pay more, but if governments increase taxes on the wealthy, they should do it with the aim of improving opportunities for all, rather than as a punitive measure to rectify an imagined wrong.

Landlocked developing countries incur significant additional transport costs for their exports and imports arising from inefficient transportation arrangements linked directly to their geographically disadvantaged status.

Rehabilitation of existing but inefficient or deteriorated water supply systems, together with planning and construction of new systems, can expand access to safe drinking water.

Among the fisheries with the most inefficient edible protein return on investment, vessels targeting shrimp, tuna and swordfish are at the top of the list.

One must add structural problems to this mix problems that have not been dealt with since the crisis erupted. For Eastern Europe, this boils down to four major areas (1) an overdependence on natural resources (2) export imbalances, in terms of product mix and foreign markets (3) small, inadequate capital markets and (4) inefficient production and use of energy.

Conducting reviews of the national communications under the Convention in 2006 2007 as in the past (including visits to each country), and conducting the review of the initial reports under the Kyoto Protocol (see sections C, D below) in parallel, would lead to overlap, put an additional burden on Parties and result in an inefficient use of secretariat resources.

The reason why they came up with saying that Kyoto or doing something more than Kyoto is a bad deal is simply because it's very inefficient.

Why do the inefficient firms survive, trapping resources in low productivity activities? What is preventing the market from working its magic and making everyone better off?

A recent study explored the energy efficiency of a number of world fisheries, including longlining, and found longlining to be the second most inefficient industrial fishery.

Isn t this obvious? Yes, there is still a financial crisis in the US, but stoking inflation is an incredibly unfair and inefficient way to deal with it.

Since 1990, the Government of China has closed down some large enterprises that were using antiquated technologies and or were highly inefficient consumers of energy and materials.

The one thing we need to do is we have to replace these inefficient incandescent light bulbs, florescent lights, with this new technology of LED, LED light bulbs.

For example, labor contracts in many developing countries effectively prohibit employers from firing workers. This is regarded as inefficient because firms cannot adjust quickly to changing business conditions.

Quite the opposite of the World Bank, who compiled data with government money, tax money, and then they sell it to add a little profit, in a very inefficient, Gutenberg way.
