The point I am making in this competition is that our standard of living is at stake. When will the government address these shortcomings so that Canada can take a leading role in the 21st century knowledge economy?

These inherent shortcomings of the standards demonstrate that although standard setting may provide some level of common framework for securities clearing and settlement, they may not replace a proper legislative framework. The Commission considers therefore that, as is the case with the introduction of comprehensive rights of access and choice, reliance on voluntary action by the national legislators or regulators to provide a common regulatory/supervisory framework, will provide less legal certainty and may not guarantee a level regulatory playing field for a long period of time.

6. In the case of shortcomings of published European standards, partial or total withdrawal of the standards concerned from the publications containing them, or amendments thereto, may be decided upon in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2) of the framework Regulation after consultation of the committee set up under Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC.

All of this will culminate in a national summit on November 5 and November 6 in Toronto, when we hope there will be consensus across all sectors of Canada's economy on a concrete plan with specific targets over a determined timetable, where all of us, as Canadians, regardless of party, regardless of place, express a commitment to doing our part to addressing the shortcomings in Canada's economy and improving our standard of living, and thereby our quality of life, in the years ahead.

It covers the 1989 bathing season plus the 1990 figures for Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the only Member States to send these details by 15 February 1991. Portugal is exempt from the Directive until 1992, but nevertheless submitted a report for 1990. A new format for submission of the data coupled with computerized mapping and?harmonized wording speeded up publication of the report. From now on, each year a report will be published on the previous bathing season. It must be added that the national measures taken to implement Directive 76/160/EEC have given birth to diverging standards which often make it ...[+++] difficult, if not impossible, to compare water quality in different Member States. Since December 1985, ten years after notification of the Directive, all bathing water is required to comply with the values laid down. However, not all bathing areas in the Community are yet up to these standards. A number of infringement procedures have been brought against such cases. Similar procedures have been initiated to solve other shortcomings, such as failure to measure specific parameters, inadequate sampling frequency, etc. Nevertheless, the results show a constant improvement in bathing water quality, as the Member States have made greater efforts to treat their effluent.
