As stated in Chapter 1, ISO/TS 16949 harmonizes the quality system requirements of the automotive industry in the USA, Germany, France, and Italy. It does not contain all automotive quality system requirements. All participating organizations have customer-specific requirements in addition, which may be issued separately or included in individual contracts for the supply of products and services.

A review is presented of some of the topics discussed at a conference on health, safety and environmental issues in the chemical industry, held in Modena, Italy, on 22nd September 2000. 

Changing consumer behavior based on higher sensitivity for environmental issues and an increased interest in environmentally friendly products Increased interest of retailers to differentiate in the market Support by municipal authorities (providing a composting infrastructure) Legislative frameworks to enhance the use of biodegradable products (e.g., in Erance, Spain, Italy)... 

Because of the differential impact of escolar- or oilfish-related problems around the world, and also variation in individual susceptibility, different governments continue to promulgate only modest regulation on both fish. Only three countries, Japan, South Korea, and Italy, completely ban the trading and import of the two fish, while other countries only issue special guidelines or warnings toward them (Table 1.2). It therefore remains that the majority of countries do not have any regulations for the two fish. 

The present chapter deals exclusively with the scientific issues of point (2). It is based on the results of an extensive study under the authority of the Swiss Agency for Environment, Forests and Landscape (SAEFL/BUWAL Perret et al. 2000,2002). The in-depth survey was performed on 23 HT materials originating from 16 different advanced thermal treatment facilities developed by 10 different companies in Switzerland, Germany, France, and Italy, and operated under realistic conditions (e.g., from wastes representative of average MSW). On the basis of the results, two options are tested to assess the long-term behaviour of HT materials ... 

EFSA is the newly established scientific body of the EU that provides objective scientific information and evaluations on all food safety issues, including food additives. EFSA is an independent European agency located in Parma, Italy, which provides risk assessments to the European Commission, European Parliament, and Council and operates various scientific panels including the panel on food additives, flavorings, processing aids, and materials in contact with food. 

In March of 2002, Public Citizen filed a petition calling for the FDA to ban Meridia. Public Citizen quoted from FDA documents that showed that use of sibutramine was allegedly associated with 29 deaths and 400 adverse medical reactions. Those incidents occurred throughout the world, and Italy had banned the drug. The issue was also being studied by the United Kingdom, which banned phentermine in 2000. The ban was prompted by concern that it could cause heart disease. 

There is a general agreement that the magmatism from the internal zones of Apennines has been generated in anomalous mantle sources, which have been affected by metasomatic enrichment in incompatible elements. However, the nature and timing of mantle metasomatic processes are still debated. This issue has paramount geodynamic implications and applies to all ultrapotassic magmatic provinces in Italy. 

The age of mantle contamination in central Italy is a key issue for geodynamic interpretation. Some authors (e.g. Castorina et al. 2000) suggest that contamination by material with high Rb/Sr and low Sm/Nd took place...
