		History of the OECD and Development of the Council Decision C(92)39/ Final The OECD was chartered to assist member countries in achieving high economic growth, employment, and a rising standard of living while ensuring that human health and the environment are protected.
		The notification and consent requirement allows for the concerned countries (i.e., exporting, importing and transit) to determine whether the hazardous waste can be handled safely based on the requirements of their waste management system and of the systems and qualifications of the particular facility that is designated to receive the waste.
		Because certain of these wastes are also not subject to Federal hazardous waste manifest controls, including but not limited to Federal manifest controls, EPA does not consider these wastes to be hazardous under U.S. national procedures; therefore, these wastes are not subject to the requirements set forth today.

	Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Kosovo): Open letter to members of the UN Security Council from Amnesty ...
		When I had the opportunity to address members of the Security Council in September 1997, I argued that human rights should be an important issue in Security Council deliberations regarding situations of armed conflict, notably in conflict prevention, conflict management and in post-conflict peace building.
		The Security Council may be asked in the near future to act upon concrete proposals for a political solution which, inter alia, envisage the deployment, in Kosovo, of "effective international civil and security presences".
		We believe it is essential that the Security Council plays as active a part as possible in promoting and protecting human rights in such situations and in ensuring that all parties concerned are accountable for upholding international standards in their actions.

		Five members of the Federal Council accepted their election without reservation, another, Herr Furrer, has accepted provisionally until the spring, and about acceptance by the seventh (Munzinger) there can be no doubt.
		In general, Furrer and Munzinger in the Federal Council perfectly represent the prejudices and narrowmindedness of the “enlightened” German Swiss.
		In internal affairs — strict implementation of the new Federal Constitution which still leaves too much scope to the sovereignty of the cantons; in external affairs — strict neutrality, of course stricter or milder according to circumstances, in particular stricter in relation to Austria.

	CIA - The World Factbook -- Austria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Once the center of power for the large Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria was reduced to a small republic after its defeat in World War I. Following annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 and subsequent occupation by the victorious Allies in 1945, Austria's status remained unclear for a decade.
		Austria, with its well-developed market economy and high standard of living, is closely tied to other EU economies, especially Germany's.
		To meet increased competition from both EU and Central European countries, particularly the new EU members, Austria will need to emphasize knowledge-based sectors of the economy, continue to deregulate the service sector, and encourage much greater participation in the labor market by its aging population.
