Accordingly, there are currently no laws detailing what authority is required and what procedures are to be followed for the expropriation of private property.

Consumer Affairs has a report on a debt collector hit with fines for, of course, abusing consumers and lying. The amount of the fine? 1.3 million.Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I don't see how this solves anything.By abusing consumers, making illegal threats, etc, this company likely raked in millions in extra profits. They collect 1.25 million accounts per year. A 1.3 million fine from the FTC is probably listed on their financial report as overhead, along with electricity. Is the FTC making any difference? Of course not...we know this because they allowed this fraudulent company to stay in business.Under the proposed settlement, LTD will pay a $1.375 million civil penalty. In addition, LTD and its owners, Timothy Feldman and Leonard Pruzansky, and its top managers, John Brewster and Derrek Davis, are permanently prohibited from misrepresenting to consumers that nonpayment of a debt will result in garnishment of wages, seizure or attachment of property, or lawsuits.They also are pe

In the past two months, we’ve seen and heard more of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) than we had for our entire lives. Most recently, the agency has come under fire for what some see as a deadly delay in issuing a recall for a baby crib.
This September, Congress conducted a series of hearings examining the disappointing role of the CPSC in the recent recall of toys imported from China. By now we’ve all seen in stark living color that the CPSC appears simply unable to live up to the enormous job assigned to it by Congress.
All of this puts more pressure than ever on consumer product companies. Today, they must be smarter about protecting not only consumers, but also their products and their brands. No longer is saying ‘our products meet CPSC standards‘ a sufficient assurance of safety or quality. That’s because consumers now question whether the CPSC can adequately protect them.

Doha’s Traffic Police authorities can’t be blamed for feeling frustrated. Despite committed and comprehensive campaigns to increase road safety, Doha’s roads remain a menace, and road accidents are the leading cause of death in this otherwise very safe country. Things can’t be helped by a continual inflow of expatriate workers, some who have a driving culture even more reckless than Qatar.Therefore it should be of no surprise that penalties have been stiffened again. The law is based on a complicated system of points, but penalties can include a fine of up to QR50,000, permanent suspension of driving licenses and even imprisonment of up to three years.

Further to my post last week More Real Estate Hurdles Coming Soon for Investor in China, comes the even more ominous China Daily story China tightens rules on foreign property investors.
According to the article:
China is tightening its grip once more on foreign investors in Chinese real estate, banning them from borrowing offshore in the latest effort to tame property prices and cool the economy.
The new rule, set out in a circular from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange , could squeeze foreign investors who take advantage of lower interest rates outside China.
18 months ago, I actually was working on a case that had offshore structure and financing through low interest loans in the States. With the appreciating RMB, the client was looking at not only a RMB appreciation that would offset the interest payments, their leveraged return was significantly higher (double digit difference) than if they had leveraged in China. This was a result of interest rates in the U.S. bei

Qatar is getting tougher again with its chaotic drivers with the implementation of a new traffic law. Driving in Qatar has been compared to an extreme sport by an American report, and fines, despite the huge number that have been paid, have proved ineffective. Now offenders will get points as well as pay fines, and can eventually lose their license. (See this post on Ame.info for more details of the complicated system.) In addition, other penalties have been made tougher, and will include fines of up to QR50,000 and prison sentences.While this is a positive step in a country where seventy percent of youth’s deaths are caused by traffic accidents, there are concerns about fair implementation. After all, this is the country where a senior policeman blamed the state of the roads on Indian drivers. While it is true to say there are many dangerous expat drivers, Qataris have to take some of the blame. There is, after all, a big difference between being a skilled driver and being a safe dr

Writing about the new EU-regulations and the reaction they got in the UK, I also wanted to find out what this means for Norwegian sushi restaurants. I think they already have to comply with these regulations. This is a factsheet I found on the Norwegian Food Safety Authority’s website, which go in more detail about what is legal to do with raw fish in Norway.
To summarize: Norwegian farmed fish does not need to be frozen to be eaten raw, but most other imported and wild fish must be (fishrasism? :)). The frozen fish must reach an internal temperature of - 20 °C or lower for at least 24 hours. This has to be documented - both of the supplier and the restaurant. Restaurants etc. must be able to document also how they ensure control of the potential health risk posed by food sold. In the end I guess it is up to us sushi eater to ask for these this documentation, but I can’t ever see myself actually doing that. I want to trust that the sushi chef wants me well.
