Calls for tighter security for high activity radioactive sources.

As President Bush has proposed, tighter controls should be adopted on enrichment and reprocessing technologies.

Against a backdrop of generally tighter migration regulation during the reporting period, more encouraging developments were noted.

Mr Park said tighter border controls between North Korea and China and higher rates charged by people smugglers were key factors.

And this is just so elegantly mysterious, it's just it really kind of holds its cards a lot tighter than say, a tuna.

A comprehensive assessment of the regulations relating to tighter control of the circulation of hazardous materials and chemicals classified as explosives, by means of the following

This will now happen, because Germany will insist on it. As the European Commission has proposed, the strengthened pact will have tighter deficit limits for heavily indebted countries.

The general environment surrounding money management is also more and more complex, calling for tighter and more comprehensive risk management and proactive action as regards the trends and requirements of the industry.

Countries are getting tougher because migration flows can be diverted across jurisdictions. This raises concerns among public opinion that migrants rejected by some countries could flood those that do not impose tighter restrictions.

There's a problem If you're not a food expert, and you've got tight budgets and it's getting tighter, then you can't be creative, you can't duck and dive and write different things around things.

What the French under General Charles de Gaulle actually did say was that fiat monies should be jettisoned in favor of the gold standard. The US would then be subject to tighter policy discipline.

In many places, however, the gains made by tighter regulations and improved energy efficiency and pollution control technologies have been offset by the increase in traffic (vehicle miles travelled) and the demand for energy.

Many Governments were considering tighter border control measures to stem the tide of migrants and trafficked persons, and many had already started the process of drafting laws with stringent punitive provisions for the offenders.

Surely, any explanation must include the global constriction of credit, especially for small and medium size businesses. Tighter regulation of lending standards has shut out an important source of global investment demand, putting downward pressure on interest rates.

Edited to a tighter length, Comrade Detective might deliver better on its agitprop satire, as when Gregor and Iosef repeatedly visit the American Embassy, whose lobby is always occupied by two fat men wolfing down a pile of hamburgers.

Yet consistent implementation is crucial to avoiding another regulatory race to the bottom. There are already dangerous signs that global firms are moving activities into more congenial jurisdictions in order to avoid tighter regulation in the major financial centers.

So pressure outside the US and Britain to put the hedge fund industry on a tighter regulatory leash is hardly surprising. The Germans, for example, want to reduce risk by forcing hedge funds to adhere to stricter reporting requirements.

For the US, a great attraction of the TPP is that it will enforce tighter intellectual property rules on other countries. Such rules tend to have an uncertain impact on innovation while generating substantial rents for US patent and copyright holders.

Moreover, global financial stability now depends upon greater cooperation at the international level, with tighter enforcement of rules at the national level. It is also clear that emerging markets are searching for alternative growth models that are green and sustainable.

As always, the poor are the most defenseless. For developing countries, tighter credit conditions and much weaker growth mean that governments are less able to meet education and health goals, and to invest in the infrastructure needed to sustain growth.

The combination of tighter credit conditions in the advanced economies and dimmer economic prospects in low income countries is hitting investment flows. And workers remittances, which now eclipse aid as the biggest financial flows to low income countries, are also falling.

The design of optimal regulation has to take into account the intensity of competition in the different banking segments. For example, capital charges should account for the degree of friction and rivalry in the banking sector, with tighter requirements in more competitive contexts.

Even though the oligarchs control all but one of the main television stations, he remains popular. Under President Kuchma, the economy has recently started to boom thanks partly to Yushchenko's brief, reformist premiership four years ago but the oligarchs' grip has grown tighter.

If this were simply a sign of a new, tighter focus on viable long term strategies, it might be regarded it as a benign development. But there are indications that the process is being driven by regulatory change, and in some cases by regulatory protectionism.

The US consumer, whose gluttony helped fuel growth throughout the world for more than a decade, seems finally set to go on a diet. In addition to tighter credit, falling home prices and high unemployment will continue to put a crimp on US consumer spending.

In short, though central banks creation of macro liquidity may keep bond yields low and reduce volatility, it has also led to crowded trades (herding on market trends, exacerbated by HFTs) and more investment in illiquid bond funds, while tighter regulation means that market makers are missing in action.

I believe that we have entered a period of weakening across the different parts of the global economic system, and that this may lead to a global recession. This weakening calls for a strong international public response, including tighter regulation, if we are to avoid such a crisis.

One must also recognize that low labor costs are an essential component of China s competitive advantage. Along with tighter margins, low cost financing, and cheaper materials, this allows Chinese firms to compete for projects with tenders for as little as half the price sought by their Western competitors.

This process is already underway, particularly in Italy and France, through cuts in social security contributions for lower paid workers, tighter conditions for drawing unemployment benefits, and tax credits for the working poor. Since the mid 1990 s, the relative decline in employment in these countries has, indeed, been slightly reversed.

Tighter credit rationing will then further hamper the ability of households and firms to borrow, spend, invest, and sustain economic growth. The risk that a systemic financial crisis will drive a more pronounced US and global recession has quickly gone from being a theoretical possibility to becoming an increasingly plausible scenario.

To safeguard their interests, bankers have lobbied relentlessly against regulations that would require them to rely less on borrowing and more on retained earnings or new equity to fund their lending and investments. They cite the need to deliver high returns for shareholders, implying that tighter regulations undermine shareholders interests.

Tighter US monetary policy could intensify the global credit shortage, thereby increasing pressure on Asia s economic and financial systems. Overreaction and herding behavior by market participants could trigger a sudden reversal of capital inflows, with a severe dollar shortage as occurred in 1997 and 2008 straining Asian banks and corporations.

Ever smarter machines and ever tighter global connections are likely to aggravate adverse labor market trends and growing income inequality, as technology displaces more and more workers. No one is certain about how many workers are at risk but, based on the pace of recent technological advances, there is reason for concern.

But, in many cases, inflows are driven by short term factors, fads, and irrational exuberance, which can lead to an overvalued currency, the crowding out of non traditional export sectors or import competing sectors, a loss of competitiveness, and eventually a large current account deficit and thus tighter external constraints on growth.

The US would then be subject to tighter policy discipline. But the French never explained exactly how restoration of the gold standard might be accomplished, or how it would translate into price and economic stability, given gold markets volatility and the disastrous consequences of the gold standard not least in France in the 1930 s.

What is essential is the right combination of stability and financial aid, even if the latter is unpopular with the German public. To be sure, eurozone member states also needed the courage to respond to the crisis of confidence confronting the common currency with concerted action for tighter control of national budgets and improved cooperation.

In reality, what Russia need are powerful independent social and political organizations that would say in any presidential term the following things should be done to steer policy, thus making the question of who is president secondary. In this respect, Putin s recent effort to assert tighter state control over private organizations is particularly worrisome.

In fact, barring most major Russian banks from operating freely in Western capital markets could affect the entire Russian economy, not just the banks themselves. And the central bank s decision to raise interest rates to buttress the ruble may lead to much tighter credit conditions for companies and households, pushing the Russian economy into recession this year and next.

In order to curb investment demand, tighter credit rationing and monetary policy are inevitable in 2008, while investment projects and land use will be subject to more rigorous control. Likewise, increasing pressure from growing labor costs will force enterprises to lower their profit expectations and cut costs, negatively affecting output growth and employment in the short run.

The case points to several changes in the way data are collected and released that are urgently needed to determine definitively whether SSRI s are safe and effective for treating pediatric depression. Tighter regulation of all clinical trials is needed, as is a public worldwide database that contains trial protocols and regularly updated information about trial status and publications.

To be sure, there is no such thing as perfect safety, and, historically, waves of terrorism have often taken a generation to recede. Even so, the elimination of top Al Qaeda leaders, the strengthening of American intelligence, tighter border controls, and greater cooperation between the FBI and the CIA have all clearly made the US (and its allies) safer.

The current trend implies deteriorating conditions for their teachers as well, particularly in the social sciences and humanities, as academics face tighter restrictions on scholarly exchanges with the West. With fewer opportunities to attend conferences abroad, publish papers in Western academic journals, or spend time teaching or conducting research outside of China, their professional development and careers could be severely impaired.
