Trends in the Development of Court Practice for Foreign Trade Businesses | “莫斯科时报”

三月 29, 2010 通过

Although Russia’s foreign trade turnover contracted by 40 ％在 2009 相比 2008, the Russian customs authorities still managed to meet the budgeted target for the remittance of customs proceeds, which was reduced by the government by only 20 百分之. According to the Federal Customs Service, this became possible owing to the increased efficiency of customs administration for imports.

In the absence of effectively functioning new technologies for customs administration, the customs authorities solve the task of collecting customs payments using a risk-management system. The so-called risk profiles make up the core of the system. Practice shows that this approach creates conditions for dramatic increases in unlawfulness and administrative abuse.

Court disputes with customs authorities aptly illustrate this issue.

According to the Federal Customs Service, the number of judicial appeals against the decisions and actions of the customs authorities has more than doubled. 在 2008, fewer than 8,000 appeals were filed, 而在 2009, 以上 16,000 appeals were filed. The categories of lawsuits considered by courts were distributed as follows:

• about 46 percent were on the adjustment of customs value

• about 30 percent were cases involving administrative offenses

• about 7 percent were on the reclassification of goods

• and on the refund of overpaid customs payments, though most of the decisions resulted from the adjustment of customs value, 8 百分之.

Statements of claim filed on other customs grounds amounted to 9 percent of the total.

In 2009, the number of customs disputes considered on their merits by state arbitration courts soared by almost 40 百分之, reaching 14,000 (in 2008, the number of cases was a little more than 8,000). State arbitration courts upheld more than 70 percent of the claims filed by foreign trade businesses.

欧洲联盟: 隐私和安全之间求取平衡 : 互联网商业法

三月 29, 2010 通过

EU prepares new negotiations with US government on transfer of bank data for purpose of fighting terrorism.

The commission is asking EU leaders to authorise new talks after parliament rejected the previous so-called SWIFT deal amid concerns that it posed a threat to privacy. MEPs also expressed their desire to be consulted more during the negotiating process.

张柏芝马尔姆斯特伦, the new commissioner for home affairs, says she will press for stronger privacy safeguards and make sure parliament is informed at all stages of the talks.

The future agreement should also be reciprocal, so that the US would have to provide similar banking data if the EU decides to set up its own programme for tracking funds supporting terror groups.

“Terrorism remains among the main threats that EU security has to face and we need to put in place tools that are up to the task, allowing for effective international cooperation,” 她说：.

SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, a messaging network used by some 8000 banks and financial institutions worldwide. The SWIFT database records millions of international bank transfers every day.

Making E-discovery an Internal Function | ComputerWorld.com

三月 29, 2010 通过

NBC Universal is one of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world. Chief Information Security Officer Jonathan Chow and his team manage information security for several business lines within NBCU, including its broadcast and cable television to film production, online ventures and its two theme parks in Hollywood, California and Orlando, 佛罗里达. Among one of the biggest challenges in the last few years has been the incredible explosion in demand for e-discovery services, according to Chow.

Since different legal teams handle the needs of each line of business, the workflows associated with managing electronic discovery vary as well, adding another layer of complexity. And because of the growing number of cases, and increases in both the amount of electronically stored information and hours spent supporting the process, demand for e-discovery services has increased 30 到 50 percent annually. The costs were spiraling out of control and this sent Chow looking for a way to manage the process internally.

Victorinox introduces Secure Pro Swiss Army knife model with up to 32GB USB drive | The Toybox | ZDNet.com

三月 29, 2010 通过

A Swiss Army knife retains a lot of tools, but sometimes I get greedy and wish that mine could offer just a little more. Perhaps something more…modern. It looks like USB storage is the next step.

Victorinox has debuted the Secure Pro USB model, which they are dubbing as “tamper-proof” and “un-hackable.”

While there have been USB keys added to previous Swiss Army knife models, this is the first edition that promises ultimate security. And it’s not all talk, 无论. The company put its money where its mouth was and put the Secure Pro to the test.

At a contest held in London, Victorinox was offering a £100,000 cash prize ($149,000) to a team of professional hackers if they could break into the USB drive within two hours. They failed.

Some of the security layers on the Secure Pro include a thermal sensor, biometric fingerprint recognition technology and a self-destruct mechanism. So for anyone wanting to pretend they are James Bond, here is the chance.

As for other tools on the Secure Pro, you’ve got your basic blade, scissors, screwdriver and nail file. It would be perfect with a can opener.

没有在iPad上的Flash? 没有问题. Brightcove公司变成HTML5的视频. – washingtonpost.com

三月 29, 2010 通过

The lack of Flash on the  iPad is a sore point for many and often listed as one of its greatest potential weaknesses. Not allowing Flash on the iPhone is bad enough, but on the larger iPad with full-screen browsing, its absence will be much more noticeable. Or will it? Already the Web is adapting. Videos powered by  Brightcove, 例如, will stream in an HTML5 video player when it detects an iPad. On the iPhone browser, the video thumbnail will open up the Quicktime player. It will also work on Android phones. Brightcove CEO Jeremy Allaire is agnostic about the Flash Vs. HTML5 debate. “HTML5 is great,” 他说：. “It is an open standard, and firmly entrenched in the Apple device platform. Flash can’t reach those platforms for political and business reasons.” But HTML5 simply cannot do everything Flash can, especially when it comes to supporting advertising, audience measurement, customized players, and social sharing.

Acrobat.com adds Workspaces | Examiner.com

三月 29, 2010 通过

Some things get better with age. Adobe’s Acrobat.com has markedly improved as it has gone through a number of revisions and upgrades. Now the morphing of Acrobat.com has resulted in an even more valuable tool as Adobe has added Workspaces to Acrobat.com.

The concept behind Workspaces is simple. Workspaces provide a location where business users can store, 份额, and collaborate on multiple documents. It’s a rather straightforward concept, but one that has real value. How many projects have suffered because someone on the team didn’t receive an important document sent as an e-mail attachment? Even worse, how many projects have stumbled because different team members had different versions of the same document? Probably more than we can count.

By incorporating Workspaces into Acrobat.com, Adobe is attempting to offer users a tool to overcome exactly these kinds of issues. According to Acrobat.com’s Rick Treitman, “Workspaces create a place where documents can live and version control can be easily managed. This is very useful in project management where both internal and external teams need to work together exchanging and managing files.”
