Exemptions, granting

Many firms are finding areas such as Ireland, Scotland, Spain, and southern Italy, where unemployment rates are relatively high and governments offer property tax exemptions, grants toward capital investment, low interest loans, and other incentives, attractive from those standpoints. Some of these areas have developed a good infrastmcture based on businesses already attracted to the area.

In the late 1960s the biggest incentives were available in Puerto Rico. As a result, petrochemical investments in Puerto Rico may exceed 1,500,000,000 by 1975. The major baits were tax exemptions and free ports. Companies making products not produced in Puerto Rico previous to 1947 (true for nearly any chemical) could be granted 100% income tax exemptions for up to 17 years. They were also allowed to avoid the import duties on certain raw materials. For instance, in 1970 (naphtha), an important feedstock for producing petrochemicals, could be obtained on the world market at half its selling price in the United States.3,14... 

If products under patent are exempted from the RP system, do the negative effects on the R D of the pharmaceutical sector disappear The exclusion of medicines with a current patent may reduce the economic erosion of the rights granted by the patent, and also the disincentive to invest in R D. But negative effects on innovation are not totally eradicated, as (a) RP increases the uncertainty on the expected return on the investment, (b) incentives for innovation will be damaged due to the fact that the R D process is a joint production process, since the overall return is reduced when RP is applied, and (c) the exclusion of patented products has proved to be only partial in some cases (for example, not excluding drags under a process patent).

The Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) had reached similar conclusions about a year ago and filed a petition with EPA suggesting that there was a strong case to be made for exemptive relief under Section 5 (h)(4) of TSCA for many polymers, site-limited intermediates, and chemicals produced in volumes of less than 25,000 pounds per year. (An examination of the effect of PMN costs at various prices and levels of production reveals that the PMN cost, as a percentage of total cost per pound of product, generally rises most rapidly as output falls below 25,000 pounds. See the Appendix for a more detailed discussion.) It is CMA s firm belief that exemption could be granted in terms that would operate to assure "no unreasonable risk" to the public in terms of either health or the environment.

For protection of public health, there must be some control of the experimental use of pesticide chemicals in obtaining data necessary for registration of a marketable product. Experimental use permits are issued under provisions, at 40 USC 136c, of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. Either temporary tolerance or an exemption can be granted with a permit. When the EPA takes such action, a notice is published in the Federal Register (Schultz, 1981).

The provisions of Article 23(a) require the MAH to inform the competent authority about various activities associated with the availability of the product on the market. Under Article 24 of the revised legislation only a single renewal is required when the product has been authorised for 5 years. A second renewal may take place after a further 5 years if there are justified pharmacovi-gilance groimds. In addition, any authorisation, which is not followed by placing the product on the market within 3 years (or which is not present on the market for 3 years), shall cease to be valid. Member States may grant exemptions from the 3-year rule, if justified on public health grounds.
